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 ("Prudential"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. ("PFI"). 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. These products are Appreciable Life ("VAL"), Variable Life ("VLI"), Discovery Plus ("SPVA") and Discovery Life Plus ("SPVL"). The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). The Partnership is organized under New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and annuity contracts. The Real Property Account, along with The Prudential 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 A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 March 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 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. B. INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP INTEREST The investment in the Partnership is based on the Real Property Account's proportionate interest of the Partnership's market value. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 the Real Property Account's interest in the Partnership was 55.1% or 4,061,676 shares. C. INCOME RECOGNITION Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily. Amounts are based upon the Real Property Account's proportionate interest in the Partnership. 5 D. EQUITY OF PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Pruco Life maintains a position in the Real Property Account for liquidity purposes including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not have an effect on the contract owner's account or the related unit value. 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, SPVL, respectively. Mortality risk is that life insurance contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and expense risk is that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may exceed related charges by Pruco Life. 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 Real Property 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 for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs, applicable to VAL, are deducted from each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are also subject to monthly charges for the costs of administering the contract to compensate Pruco Life the guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units. D. DEFERRED SALES CHARGE A deferred sales charge is imposed upon the surrender of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco Life 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% for VAL and 9% 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. A deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units. E. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE A charge is imposed by Pruco Life 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. A charge is assessed through the redemption of units. NOTE 4: TAXES Pruco Life is taxed as a "life insurance company" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The results of operations of the Real Property Account form a part of PFI's consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Real Property Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements. 6 NOTE 5: NET WITHDRAWALS BY CONTRACT OWNERS Contract owner activity for the real estate investment option in Pruco Life's variable insurance and variable annuity products for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, were as follows: MARCH 31, 2004 2003 ---------- -------- (UNAUDITED) VAL .......................................... $ 952,428 $515,136 VLI .......................................... 37,357 47,831 SPVA ......................................... 0 1,190 SPVL ......................................... 87,472 65,379 ---------- -------- TOTAL ........................................ $1,077,257 $629,536 ========== ======== NOTE 6: PARTNERSHIP DISTRIBUTIONS As of March 31, 2004, no distributions had been made for the current year from the Partnership.

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 months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in each Partner's December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10K. Real estate investments are reported at their estimated fair market values. 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"), which supersedes FIN 46. FIN 46-R defers the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 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 effective date is delayed while the AICPA finalizes the proposed Statement of Position ("SOP") on the clarification of the scope of the Audit Guide. Following the issuance of the final SOP, the FASB will consider modifying FIN 46-R to provide an exception for companies that apply the Audit Guide. The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership ("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. NOTE 2: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. In the opinion of Prudential's management, the outcome of such matters will not have a significant effect on the Partnership. NOTE 3: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to an investment management agreement, Prudential Investment Management ("PIM") 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 three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 investment management fees incurred by the Partnership were $635,701 and $577,586 respectively. The Partnership also reimburses PIM for certain administrative services rendered by PIM. The amounts incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $29,157 for each period, and are classified as administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 14 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4: FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------------------------------------ 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ PER SHARE(UNIT) OPERATING PERFORMANCE: Net Asset Value, beginning of period ...................... $24.66 $24.11 $23.82 $22.74 $20.86 INCOME FROM INVESTMENT OPERATIONS: Investment income, before management fee .................. 0.35 0.39 0.42 0.39 0.42 Management fee ............................................

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS All of the assets of the Real Property Account (the "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 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 (collectively, the "Partners"). The following analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes to the Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. (a) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 2004, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents were $14.8 million, a decrease of $4.1 million from $18.9 million at December 31, 2003. The change in the Partnership's cash position was primarily due to an additional funding of $3.75 million to the note receivable associated with a retail center located in Westminster, Maryland. The Partnership's investment policy allows up to 30% investment in cash and short-term obligations, although the Partnership generally holds approximately 10% of its assets in cash and short-term obligations. At March 31, 2004, 6.2% of the Partnership's total assets consisted of cash and short-term obligations. The Partnership made $6.9 million in distributions to the Partners during 2003. Distributions may be made to the Partners during 2004 based upon the percentage of assets invested in short-term obligations, taking into consideration anticipated cash needs of the Partnership including potential property acquisitions, property dispositions and capital expenditures. Management anticipates that its current liquid assets and ongoing cash flow from operations will satisfy the Partnership's needs over the next twelve months and the foreseeable future. During the first three months of 2004, the Partnership spent approximately $1.4 million in capital expenditures on wholly owned and consolidated joint venture properties. Approximately $0.8 million was associated with the development of the retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland. Of the remaining $0.6 million balance, $0.4 million was primarily associated with leasing related costs at one of the office buildings located in Brentwood, Tennessee. The Partnership also increased its investment in real estate partnerships by approximately $0.1 million in connection with the redevelopment and expansion of the retail centers located in Kansas City, Missouri. On March 24, 2004, the Partnership increased its investment in the note receivable associated with a retail center located in Westminster, Maryland for $3.75 million. Commencing on January 6, 2004, with additional contributions throughout the quarter, the Partnership invested in a $0.5 million mezzanine debt investment on a second retail center located in Westminster, Maryland. (b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is a brief quarter-to-date comparison of the Partnership's results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. MARCH 31, 2004 VS. MARCH 31, 2003 The following table presents a quarter-to-date comparison of the Partnership's sources of net investment income, and realized and unrealized gains or losses by investment type. 16 QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, --------------------------- 2004 2003 NET INVESTMENT INCOME: Office properties .................................................... $ 502,797 $ 646,699 Apartment complexes .................................................. 741,550 874,685 Retail properties .................................................... 1,158,256 1,142,723 Industrial properties ................................................ 147,786 225,850 Hotel property ....................................................... 59,731 -- Other (including interest income, investment mgt fee, etc.) ..........

The decrease is primarily due to continued vacancy within the office portfolio. Administrative expense increased $0.4 million, or 51.1%, in the first quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily due to the Partnership's acquisition of a controlling interest in a 161-room hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon in late 2003. Operating expense increased $0.3 million, or 26.4%, in the first quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. This increase is also primarily due to the Partnership's acquisition of a controlling interest in a 161-room hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon in late 2003. VALUATION OVERVIEW The Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net unrealized loss of $4.2 million during the corresponding period in 2003. The unrealized loss during the first three months of 2004 was primarily experienced in the office sector. The office portfolio recorded an unrealized loss totaling $2.1 million primarily due to decreases in occupancy coupled with soft market conditions which have resulted in reductions in market rental rates and increased leasing costs. Partially offsetting this loss in the office sector was the gain in value in the retail sector, primarily due to strengthening market fundamentals, renovation and re-leasing efforts, at the retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri and the pre-leased expansion at the center located in Ocean City, Maryland.

UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The five office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $2.1 million during the first three months of 2004. The losses were primarily due to decreased occupancy, lower market rents, and increased lease up costs. The five office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $3.9 million during the first three months of 2003. The decrease in values was primarily due to a reduction in market rental rates, softening market conditions, increased lease-up costs, increased expenses and a decrease in occupancy due to various near-term lease expirations. As of March 31, 2004 all vacant spaces were being marketed.

The decrease was mainly due to increased concessions and mortgage interest at the complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina that was not applicable during the first quarter of 2003. Also increased expenses at the Atlanta, Georgia complex for repairs and maintenance added to the decreased net investment income for the sector. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net unrealized gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The unrealized loss for the first quarter of 2004 was mainly attributable to the apartment complex located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon due to an increase in projected operating expenses and lower market rental rates. Partially offsetting this loss is the unrealized gain at the apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia due to decreased projected expenses. The unrealized gain for 2003 was primarily attributable to the apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida due to an increase in occupancy. As of March 31, 2004, all available vacant units were being marketed. 18 RETAIL PROPERTIES NET NET INVESTMENT INVESTMENT UNREALIZED UNREALIZED INCOME INCOME GAIN/(LOSS) GAIN/(LOSS) OCCUPANCY OCCUPANCY PROPERTY 03/31/04 03/31/03 03/31/04 03/31/03 03/31/04 03/31/03 - -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- --------- QUARTER TO DATE Roswell, GA .................. $ 426,419 $ 690,217 $ (39,710) $ 466,952 75% 93% Kansas City, KS; MO .......... 160,614 160,736 744,008 (307,349) 87% 90% Hampton, VA .................. 304,081 218,228 285,500 3,425 100% 100% Ocean City, MD ............... 176,372 73,542 573,309 182,012 99% 100% Westminster, MD* ............. 31,644 N/A -- N/A N/A N/A Westminster, MD ** ........... 59,126 N/A -- N/A N/A N/A ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $1,158,256 $1,142,723 $1,563,107 $ 345,040 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- * Note Receivable (Acquired October 2003) ** Mortgage Loan Receivable (Acquired January 2004) NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income for the Partnership's retail properties was approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. While net investment income was essentially the same for both periods, the properties contributing have changed somewhat. Increases were due to the expanded center located in Ocean City, Maryland and the acquisition of the two Westminster, Maryland investments. It should also be noted that on April 15, 2003 the Partnership acquired its joint venture partner's membership interest in the retail center located in Hampton, Virginia, thus entitling the Partnership to all of the net investment income generated by the investment. Offsetting these increases was the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia, which experienced increased vacancy due to a lease termination. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The retail properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri retail centers experienced a net unrealized gain primarily due to strengthening market fundamentals, renovation and re-leasing efforts. The Ocean City, Maryland retail center experienced a gain due to the pre-leased expansion. The center located in Hampton, Virginia also experienced a gain due to strengthening market fundamentals. The retail properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The retail center located in Roswell, GA experienced a net unrealized gain due to a major tenant signing a lease renewal. The retail center in Ocean City, MD also experienced a net unrealized gain due to an increase in value resulting from capital expenditures. Offsetting these gains was the unrealized losses experienced at the retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri, primarily due to renovations from the expansion of the existing grocery store anchor that were not reflected as an increase in market value. As of March 31, 2004, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

The decrease was due to a rental concession given to a new tenant at the industrial property located in Aurora, Colorado and the sale of the industrial property located in Salt Lake City, Utah during the first quarter of 2003. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The Aurora, Colorado industrial property owned by the Partnership experienced an immaterial net unrealized loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The net unrealized loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was due to softening market conditions. As of March 31, 2004, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The Lake Oswego, Oregon hotel property owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.05 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. OTHER Other net investment income decreased $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003. Other net investment income includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses. (c) INFLATION The Partnership's leases with a majority of its commercial tenants provide for recoveries of expenses based upon the tenant's proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which may reduce the Partnership's exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation. 20 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Management, on an ongoing basis, reviews critical estimates and assumptions. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements may change significantly. The following sections discuss critical accounting policies applied in preparing our financial statements that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS--The Partnership's investments in real estate are initially valued at their purchase price. Thereafter, real estate investments are reported at their estimated market values based upon 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 is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides objective and accurate market value estimates. The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the market value of real estate as of a specific date. Market value has been defined as the most probable price for which the appraised real estate will sell in a competitive market under all conditions requisite for a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress. Real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership's equity in net assets as reflected in the partnership's financial statements with properties valued as described above. Mortgage and other loans receivable, which are accounted for as loans, are independently valued as described above. Other real estate investments include notes receivable, which are valued at the amount due and approximate market value. As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. Although the estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003. OTHER ESTIMATES 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities at 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. 21 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 about 31.97% of its investment portfolio consisting primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. By policy, the Partnership places its investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to maturity except under rare circumstances. The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the Partnership's cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2004: ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE AVERAGE MATURITY (IN $ MILLIONS) INTEREST RATE ------------ ------------------- --------------- Cash equivalents............ 0-3 months $14.8 1.01% The table below discloses the Partnership's fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2004. 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 (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

While the Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Partnership, which would adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.
