Pursuant to Arizona law, the Real Property Account was established as a separate investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential"). The assets of the Real Property Account are segregated from Pruco Life's other assets. The Real Property Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Pruco Life. Prior to April 29, 1988, the Real Property Account invested primarily in income- producing real properties and mortgage loans. On April 29, 1988, The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"), a general partnership organized under New Jersey law, was formed. On that date all assets and liabilities of the Real Property Account were contributed to the Partnership in exchange for interests in the newly formed 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 A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements are prepared on a current value basis due to the fact that the unit values under Contracts participating in the Partnership are determined using the current value basis of investments (see General Note to the Partnership financials). These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustements are of a normal recurring nature. B. INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP INTEREST The investment in the Partnership is based on the Real Property Account's proportionate interest of the Partnership's current value, as discussed in Note 1 to the Partnership's financial statements. At September 30, 1996 the Real Property Account's interest in the Partnership, based on current value equity was 49.9% or 5,909,534 shares. C. INCOME RECOGNITION The Real Property Account recognizes its proportionate share of the Partnership's net investment income on a daily basis, consistent with the Partnership Agreement. The Net Gain/(Loss) on Investment in Partnership reflected on the Statements of Operations represents the Real Property Account's proportionate share of the Net Gain/(Loss) on Investments recognized by the Partnership. 5 NOTE 3: ASSET BASED CHARGES Mortality risk and expense risk charges and charges for administration are applied daily against the net assets representing equity of Contract owners investing in the Real Property Account, at an effective annual rate as shown below for each of Pruco Life's separate accounts investing in the Real Property Account: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variable Insurance Account 0.35% Variable Appreciable Account 0.60% Single Premium Variable Life Account 1.25% Single Premium Variable Annuity Account 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 4: TAXES Income and capital gains and losses of the Partnership are attributed, for federal income tax purposes, to the Partners in the Partnership, including Pruco Life, in respect of the Real Property Account. The operations of the Real Property Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the operations of Pruco Life. Under the Internal Revenue Code, all ordinary income and capital gains allocated to the Contract owners are not taxable to Pruco Life. As a result, the net asset values of the Real Property Account are not affected by federal income taxes on the ordinary income and capital gains and losses attributable to the Real Property Account. Note 5: Related Party Several actions have been brought against Pruco Life, on behalf of those persons who purchased life insurance policies based on complaints about sales practices engaged in by The Prudential and Pruco Life and agents appointed by The Prudential and Pruco Life. The Prudential has agreed to indemnify Pruco Life for any and all losses resulting from such litigation. 6 THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AND

The Partnership was established as a means by which assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by the respective companies could be invested in a commingled pool. The partners in the Partnership are The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life and the Pruco Life of New Jersey. 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. The Partnership's investments are valued on a daily basis, consistent with the Partnership Agreement. On each day during which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, the net assets of the Partnership are valued using the current value of its investments as described in Note 1B below, plus an estimate of net income from operations reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Note 1B below and the corrections of previous estimates of net income are made on a prospective basis. There can be no assurance that all such adjustments and estimates will be made timely. Shares of the Partnership are sold to The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account, and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account, (the "Real Property Accounts") at the current share value of the Partnership's net assets. Share value is calculated by dividing the current value of net assets of the Partnership as determined below by the number of shares outstanding. A Contract owner participates in the Partnership through interests in the Real Property Accounts. NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A: General - The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in each Partner's December 31, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. B: Real Estate Owned and Interest in Properties - The Partnership's investments in real estate owned and interest in properties are initially valued at their purchase price. Thereafter, current values are based upon appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) which are ordinarily obtained on an annual basis. The Chief Appraiser of the Prudential Comptroller's Department Valuation Unit is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and accurate current value estimates. In the interest of maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process, the Comptroller of The Prudential has appointed a third party firm to act as the Appraisal Management Firm. The Appraisal Management Firm, among other responsibilities, approves the selection and scheduling of external appraisals; develops a standard package of information to be supplied to the appraisers; reviews and provides comments on all external appraisals and a sample of internal appraisals; assists in developing policy and procedures and assists in the evaluation of the performance and competency of external appraisers. The property valuations are reviewed quarterly by The 14 Prudential Comptroller's Department Valuation Unit and the Chief Appraiser and adjusted if there have been any significant changes related to the property since the most recent independent appraisal. The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the market value of a property as of a specific date. Estimated market value has been defined as the most probable price for which the appraised property will sell in a competitive market under all conditions requisite to fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. This estimate of current value generally is a correlation of three approaches, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgement. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing a property less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting of a series of income streams and reversion at a specified yield or by directly capitalizing a single-year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable properties in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the one most heavily relied upon is the one most appropriate for the type of property in the market. C: Revenue Recognition - Rent from properties consists of all amounts earned under tenant operating leases including base rent, recoveries of real estate taxes and other expenses and charges for miscellaneous services provided to tenants. Revenue from leases which provide for scheduled rent increases is recognized as billed. D: Cash Equivalents - The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at estimated market value. E: Marketable Securities - Marketable securities are highly liquid investments with maturities of more than three months when purchased and are carried at estimated market value. F: 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: TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Pursuant to an investment management agreement, The Prudential charges the Partnership a daily investment management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily gross asset valuation of the Partnership. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 management fees incurred by the Partnership were $1,848,541 and $1,730,668 respectively. The Partnership also reimburses The Prudential for certain administrative services rendered by The Prudential. The amounts incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $88,693 and $93,221 respectively and are classified as administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The Partnership owns a 50% interest in four warehouse/distribution buildings in Jacksonville, Florida (the Unit warehouses). The remaining 50% interest is owned by The Prudential and one of its subsidiaries. The Partnership has contracted with PREMISYS Real Estate Services, Inc. (PREMISYS), an affiliate of The Prudential to provide property management services at the Unit warehouses. The property management fees earned by PREMISYS for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $14,965 and $14,712 respectively. NOTE 3: COMMITMENT FROM PARTNER On January 9, 1990, The Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the Partnership to take advantage of opportunities to acquire attractive real property investments whose cost is greater than the Partnership's available cash. Contributions to the Partnership under this commitment are utilized for property acquisitions and returned to Prudential on an ongoing basis from Contract owners' net contributions. Also, the amount of the commitment is reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in current value net assets of the Partnership. The amount available under this commitment as of September 30, 1996 is approximately $ 50.9 million. 15 NOTE 6: PER SHARE INFORMATION (FOR A SHARE OUTSTANDING THOUGHOUT THE PERIOD) 01/01/96 07/01/96 01/01/95 01/01/94 01/01/93 01/01/92 01/01/91 01/01/90 TO TO TO TO TO TO TO TO 09/30/96 09/30/96 12/31/95 12/31/94 12/31/93 12/31/92 12/31/91 12/31/90 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Rent from properties $ 1.4335 $ 0.4516 $ 1.6387 $ 1.2754 $ 1.1659 $ 1.0727 $ 0.9899 $ 0.9479 Income from interest in properties $ 0.0383 $ 0.0108 $ 0.0527 $ 0.1838 $ 0.2139 $ 0.1970 $ 0.1791 $ 0.1533 Interest on mortgage loans $ 0.0000 $ 0.0000 $ 0.0000 $ 0.0082 $ 0.0755 $ 0.0711 $ 0.0663 $ 0.0654 Interest from short-term investments $ 0.1235 $ 0.0527 $ 0.2199 $ 0.1226 $ 0.0549 $ 0.0653 $ 0.1151 $ 0.1202 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- INVESTMENT INCOME $ 1.5953 $ 0.5151 $ 1.9113 $ 1.5900 $ 1.5102 $ 1.4061 $ 1.3504 $ 1.2868 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Investment management fee $ 0.1553 $ 0.0527 $ 0.1936 $ 0.1786 $ 0.1673 $ 0.1642 $ 0.1669 $ 0.1591 Real estate tax expense $ 0.1470 $ 0.0421 $ 0.1602 $ 0.1399 $ 0.1465 $ 0.1488 $ 0.1168 $ 0.1010 Administrative expenses $ 0.1228 $ 0.0357 $ 0.1484 $ 0.1103 $ 0.1187 $ 0.1046 $ 0.0946 $ 0.0910 Operating expenses $ 0.1725 $ 0.0594 $ 0.1546 $ 0.1332 $ 0.1209 $ 0.1241 $ 0.0948 $ 0.0776 Interest expense $ 0.0313 $ 0.0099 $ 0.0381 $ 0.0255 $ 0.0236 $ 0.0215 $ 0.0193 $ 0.0186 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- EXPENSES $ 0.6289 $ 0.1998 $ 0.6949 $ 0.5875 $ 0.5770 $ 0.5632 $ 0.4924 $ 0.4473 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- NET INVESTMENT INCOME $ 0.9664 $ 0.3153 $ 1.2164 $ 1.0025 $ 0.9332 $ 0.8429 $ 0.8580 $ 0.8395 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net realized loss on investments sold ($ 0.0402) ($ 0.0011) $ 0.0000 $ (0.0966) $ (0.1816) $ 0.0000 $ 0.0000 $ 0.0000 Net unrealized gain/(loss) on investments ($ 0.2729) ($ 0.1451) $ 0.0581 $ 0.2169 $ 0.0152 $ (1.1359) $ (0.7770) $ (0.1543) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- NET REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAIN/(LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS ($ 0.3131) ($ 0.1462) $ 0.0581 $ 0.1203 $ (0.1664) $ (1.1359) $ (0.7770) $ (0.1543) --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net increase/(decrease) in share value $ 0.6533 $ 0.1695 $ 1.2745 $ 1.1228 $ 0.7668 $ (0.2930) $ 0.0810 $ 0.6852 Share Value at beginning of period $ 15.7537 $ 16.2375 $ 14.4792 $ 13.3564 $ 12.5896 $ 12.8826 $ 12.8016 $ 12.1164 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Share Value at end of period $ 16.4070 $ 16.4070 $ 15.7537 $ 14.4792 $ 13.3564 $ 12.5896 $ 12.8826 $ 12.8016 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Ratio of expenses to average net assets 3.92% 1.23% 4.62% 4.27% 4.44% 4.47% 3.81% 3.58% Ratio of net investment income to average net assets 6.02% 1.95% 8.08% 7.29% 7.17% 6.69% 6.63% 6.72% Number of shares outstanding at end of period (000's) 11,848 11,848 12,037 12,241 13,031 14,189 14,993 16,175 All calculations are based on average month-end shares outstanding where applicable. Per share information presented herein is shown on a basis consistent with the financial statements as discussed in Note 1G. 16 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS All of the assets of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property Account") are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). Correspondingly, the liquidity, capital resources and results of operations for the Real Property Account are contingent upon those of the Partnership. Therefore, all of management's discussion of these items is at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. (a) Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 1996, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $46,742,226. This is an increase of $21,986,806 from liquid assets at December 31, 1995, of $24,755,420. The increase is primarily due to (1) $14,697,789 in cash received from the sale of the Azusa, CA warehouse, (2) operations of the Partnership's properties, and (3) interest income received from short-term investments. These are partially offset by withdrawals by the partners of $3 million. The Partnership had established a $10 million annually renewable line of credit with First Fidelity Bank, N.A. to be drawn upon as needed for potential liquidity needs. The line of credit had never been drawn upon. Management did not anticipate any future needs for this credit facility and decided to terminate the line of credit as of October 31, 1995. The Prudential has committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the Partnership to acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership under this commitment are utilized for property acquisitions and returned to The Prudential on an ongoing basis from Contract owners' net contributions. The amount of the commitment is reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in current value net assets of the Partnership. The amount available for future investments is approximately $50.9 million as of September 30, 1996. The Partnership will ordinarily invest 10-15% of its assets in cash and short-term obligations to maintain liquidity; however, its investment policy allows up to 30% investment in cash and short-term obligations. At September 30, 1996, 22.56% of the Partnership's assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. This is in excess of the target range because proceeds from the sale, mentioned above, are being retained in the Partnership in anticipation of three potential acquisitions. The Partnership is scheduled to close on a 77,000 square foot office building in Portland, OR, in December 1996, for an estimated purchase price of $10.8 million. In addition, two industrial forward commitments are scheduled to close in mid 1997, one in Denver, CO for an estimated purchase price of $10.4 million, and the other in Salt Lake City, UT for an estimated price of $7 million. The partners withdrew $3 million in March, 1996. Additional withdrawals may be made during the remainder of 1996 based upon the needs of the Partnership including potential property acquisitions and dispositions and capital expenditures. At September 30, 1996, and currently, the Partnership has adequate liquidity. Management anticipates that ongoing cash flow from operations will satisfy the Partnership's needs over the next three months and the foreseeable future. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership expended approximately $264,000 in capital expenditures for tenant alterations, leasing commissions and land improvements. The most significant of these expenses was approximately $166,000 at the industrial property in Pomona, CA relating to a renewal leasing commission and tenant alterations for the Treasure Chest. Other significant capital expended included building improvements of approximately $31,000 at the Morristown, NJ office building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions of approximately $36,000 for Shepherd's Staff Christian Book Store, a new tenant at the Roswell, GA retail center, and major landscaping and parking structure improvements of approximately $23,000 at the Farmington Hills, MI apartment complex. Projected capital expenditures for the remainder of 1996 total approximately $136,500, which consists of tenant alterations, leasing commissions and land improvements. Approximately $65,000 of the tenant alterations and leasing commissions pertain to tenant renewals at the Pomona, CA industrial property. 17 Approximately $51,000 of the tenant alterations and leasing commissions are budgeted for vacancies and approximately $10,500 of land improvements are budgeted for the site's traffic improvements at the Roswell, GA retail center. In addition, approximately $10,000 of the tenant alterations and leasing commissions are budgeted for the remaining vacancies at the Morristown, NJ office building. These projected capital expenditures are dependent upon successfully executing new tenant leases or tenant renewals. (b.1) Results of Operations - Portfolio The following is a brief comparison of the Partnership's total portfolio results of operations and realized and unrealized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The Partnership's total net investment income for the first nine months of 1996 was $11,504,617, an increase of $872,325 (8.2%) from $10,632,292 for the corresponding period of 1995. This was largely due to income of approximately $2,381,756 from one apartment and two office building acquisitions that occurred during the second half of 1995, and an increase of approximately $108,000 in income from ongoing property operations. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $894,000 in unrelated property activity, and discontinued income of approximately $723,000 due to the sale of a warehouse that occurred in April, 1996. The Partnership's income unrelated to specific properties was a loss of $815,473, a decrease of $894,387 from income of $78,914 for the corresponding period of 1995. Components of unrelated property activity are $1,469,594 in interest income from short-term investments, $436,526 in administrative expenses, and the investment management fee of $1,848,541. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership experienced a decrease of $688,148 in short-term investment income, an increase of $88,366 in administrative expenses, and an increase of $117,873 in the investment management fee. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership experienced realized and unrealized losses of $478,638 and $3,253,955, respectively, totaling $3,732,593, on its real estate investments. The realized loss is the result of the sale of the Azusa, CA warehouse. The unrealized loss is the result of a decrease of approximately $3 million in the estimated market value of the Roswell, GA retail center, and a decrease of approximately $1.2 million in the estimated market value of the industrial property in Lisle, IL. These decreases are partially offset by an increase of approximately $800,000 in the market value of an apartment complex in Atlanta, GA. The explanations for these changes are detailed in the following paragraphs.

The occupancy rate at September 30, 1996 was 98%, a decrease from the 100% occupancy rate at December 31, 1995.

This was primarily the result of the sale of a warehouse in Azusa, CA which accounted for $723,353 (28.2%) of the decrease. Excluding the results of the property sold, income from property operations increased by $130,425 (5.1%). Revenue at the properties held for the comparable period increased by $160,730.

The gross sale price of the property was $15,250,000, and net proceeds received were $14,697,789. Income from interest in properties relates to the Partnership's 50% co-investment in the Jacksonville, FL unit warehouses. Income from interest in properties decreased by $15,981 (3.4%) from $472,096 for the three quarters of 1995 to $456,115 for the corresponding period of 1996.
