BUSINESS Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property Account"), the Registrant, was established on October 30, 1987. The Real Property Account was established as a separate investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"), pursuant to New Jersey law. The Real Property Account was established to provide a real estate investment option offered in connection with the funding of benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (the "Contracts") issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey. The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). The Partnership, a general partnership organized under New Jersey law on April 29, 1988, was formed through an agreement among The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, to provide a means for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by the respective companies to be invested in a commingled pool. The Partnership has an investment policy of investing at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans. The largest portion of these real estate investments are direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate, such as office buildings, shopping centers, hotels, apartments, or industrial properties. Approximately 10% of the Partnership's assets are generally held in cash or invested in liquid instruments and securities although the Partners reserve discretion to increase this amount to meet partnership liquidity requirements. Office Properties--The Partnership owns office properties in Lisle and Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois; Brentwood, Tennessee; and Beaverton, Oregon. Total square footage owned is approximately 494,284 of which 68% or 333,951 square feet are leased between 1 and 10 years. Apartment Complexes--The Partnership owns apartment complexes in Atlanta, Georgia; Raleigh, North Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; and Salem and Gresham, Oregon. There are a total of 1,253 apartment units available of which 91% or 1,135 units are leased. Leases range from month to month to one year. Two of the Partnership's Salem, Oregon apartment complexes, which had a total of 188 units, were sold on December 14, 2004. Retail Property--The Partnership owns retail centers in Roswell, Georgia; Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri; Ocean City, Maryland; and Hampton, Virginia. Total square footage owned is approximately 1,163,464 of which 84% or 979,251 square feet are leased between 1 and 30 years. Industrial Properties--The Partnership owns an industrial building in Aurora, Colorado. Total square footage owned is approximately 277,930 of which 66% or184,047 square feet are leased between 1 and 10 years. Hotel Property--On December 10, 2003, the Partnership invested in a hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon. This joint venture investment has 161 rooms. Occupancy for the year ended 2004 averaged 68.3%. The Partnership's investments are maintained so as to meet the diversification requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the investments of variable life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts. Section 817(h) requires, among other things, that the partnership will have no more than 55% of the assets invested in any one investment, no more than 70% of the assets will be invested in any two investments, no more than 80% of the assets will be invested in any three investments, and no more than 90% of the assets will be invested in any four investments. To comply with requirements of the State of Arizona, the Partnership will limit additional investments in any one parcel or related parcels to an amount not exceeding 10% of the Partnership's gross assets as of the prior fiscal year. For information regarding the Partnership's investments, operations, and other significant events, see Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. 4 The following is a description of general conditions in the U.S. real estate markets. It does not relate to specific properties held by the Partnership. The Partnership does not have widely diversified holdings; therefore, the discussions of vacancy rates, property values and returns in this section are not necessarily relevant in the Partnership's portfolio. The results described are not indicative of future performance of the industry, or this account. REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW Real estate market fundamentals in most property sectors and markets remained relatively weak in 2004, but began to improve modestly in the second half of the year. Despite the generally weak property market conditions, robust capital flows into the sector and low interest rates continued to support asset values and drive investment performance. Private and public equity real estate investment benchmarks posted large gains in the fourth quarter and 2004 overall. The National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries' (NCREIF) Property Index, the benchmark for unleveraged private institutional real estate investments in the U.S., gained nearly 4.7% in the fourth quarter, which pushed the Index's one-year total return to more than 14.5%. OFFICE MARKET Office market fundamentals continued to improve during 4th quarter 2004. According to Torto Wheaton Research, a Boston-based real estate research firm, the national average office vacancy rate declined to 15.4% in the fourth quarter from 15.9% at the end of 3rd quarter 2004 and 16.8% at year-end 2003. Notably, the fourth quarter marked the sixth consecutive quarter of declining vacancy. The average suburban office vacancy rate declined to 16.6%, which marked a substantial improvement over the 18.6% vacancy rate at year-end 2003. Downtown vacancy rates also improved last year. The average vacancy rate for downtown office properties fell to 13.2% by year-end 2004 from 13.6% at the end of 2003. Although market rents for suburban and downtown office space remain soft, the improving job market and healthy investor demand for office properties helped the NCREIF office subindex deliver one-year total returns of about 12% in 2004, which included 4% appreciation and a one-year income return of nearly 7.8%. APARTMENT MARKET Property market trends remain most troubling in the apartment sector. Excess new supply, weak tenant demand, the rising homeownership rate and weak job market have eroded tenant demand in most markets. However, according to REIS, Inc., a national real estate research firm, market rents for apartment units appear to have stabilized and vacancies have improved modestly since year-end 2003. The national average apartment vacancy rate improved to 6.7% at year-end 2004 from 7.1% at the end of 2003. Despite the generally poor apartment market fundamentals, investor demand for apartment properties remains strong. Condo converters, investors who buy apartment and other properties for conversion to residential condominiums, emerged as aggressive capital sources in many markets last year and helped drive capitalization rates for apartment properties to very low levels. As a result, the apartment subindex of the NCREIF Property Index delivered a total return of 13.2% in 2004. The apartment return included more than 6.8% appreciation and a one-year income return of about 6.1%. RETAIL MARKET The retail sector benefited from favorable national trends in 2004. In addition to positive employment growth and an increase in consumer confidence, the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) reports that chain store sales increased 3.8% in 2004, the largest gain since 2000. Landlords and investors enjoyed the strongest absorption in years as retailers continued to expand their store base. As a result, despite healthy construction activity, the vacancy rate for neighborhood and community shopping centers fell to 6.8% in 4th quarter 2004, according to REIS. This marked the 11th straight quarter with a vacancy rate at or below 7.1%. Retail rents continued to climb last year, increasing nearly 2.9% from year-end 2003, according to REIS. 5 The retail subindex remained the best-performing sector in the NCREIF index, returning 7.8% during 4th quarter 2004 and nearly 23% for the year overall. Robust appreciation accounted for a significant share of the retail sector's total return in the 4th quarter and for the year overall. Retail property values gained 5.9% in the fourth quarter and more than 14.4% for the year, which exceeded the total returns in all other property sectors. INDUSTRIAL MARKET Industrial space market fundamentals benefited from improvements in manufacturers' shipments, inventories and orders in 2004. The national average industrial vacancy rate continued to decline in 4th quarter 2004, falling to 10.8% at year-end, according to Torto Wheaton Research. This marks a modest improvement from year-end 2003, when the average vacancy rate peaked at about 11.6%. During the last property market downturn in the early 1990s, the national industrial vacancy rate peaked at about 10.7%. Despite the improvement in vacancy rates, the average rental rate at the end of 2004 was unchanged from one year earlier. The NCREIF industrial subindex delivered a 12.1% total return in 2004, including about 3.9% appreciation and an income return of 7.9%. HOTEL MARKET Although operating fundamentals in the hotel industry improved in 2004, the hotel sector remained the weakest of the NCREIF property types. According to Smith Travel Research, a national lodging industry research firm, average revenue per available room (RevPAR) improved 8.4% during 2004 versus year-end 2003. Importantly, improving occupancy and average daily room rates contributed to the improvement in RevPAR. Since year-end 2003, the average occupancy rate increased 3.5% to 56.9%, while the average daily room rate (ADR) increased 4.8% to $86.23. The NCREIF hotel subindex delivered a 10.2% total return in 2004, which included 2.0% appreciation, the lowest among the five property subtypes in the NCREIF index, and an 8.1% income return. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Not Applicable. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS Contract owners participating in the Real Property Account have no voting rights with respect to the Real Property Account. 6 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S INTERESTS, RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Owners of the Contracts may participate by allocating all or part of the net premiums or purchase payments to the Real Property Account. Contract values will vary with the performance of the Real Property Account's investments through the Partnership. Participating interests in the Real Property Account are not traded in any public market, thus a discussion of market information is not relevant. As of December 31, 2004 there were approximately 1,894 contract owners of record investing in the Real Property Account. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. (A) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents were approximately $17.6 million, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million from $18.9 million at December 31, 2003. Sources of liquidity include net cash flow from property operations, interest from short-term investments, sales, and financings. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for distribution to its partners. As of December 31, 2004, 7.3% of the Partnership's total assets consisted of cash and short-term obligations. Dispositions for the year included the sale of two apartment complexes located in Salem, Oregon. The Joint Venture between the Partnership and its co-investor sold the two apartment complexes for a total of $7.1 million., which resulted in a realized gain of $1.7 million. 7 Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, one additional apartment asset located in Salem, Oregon sold for $4.65 million on March 10, 2005. Proceeds from the sale were used to fully payoff the Special Loan, resulting in a realized loss of approximately $1.6 million for the property. The Partnership spent approximately $8.3 million on capital improvements to existing properties. Approximately $2.5 million was associated with leasing related costs and tenant improvements at one of the office buildings located in Brentwood, Tennessee. $1.6 million was associated with renovation of the apartment complex in Atlanta, Georgia and $0.8 million was associated with renovation and redevelopment of the retail center in Roswell, GA. Of the remaining $3.4 million balance, $2.0 million was associated with the expansion of the retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The Partnership also increased its investment by approximately $0.2 million in connection with redevelopment and expansion activities at the retail centers located in Kansas City, Missouri. The Partnership provided, to a developer, short-term financing of approximately $5.0 million for the acquisition of a retail center located in Westminster, Maryland. The loan was repaid to the Partnership on September 13, 2004 together with interest at 10.5% upon obtaining third party construction financing. In addition, the Partnership invested in a Leasehold Mortgage Loan for the acquisition and redevelopment of an adjacent retail center in Westminster, Maryland. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $1.3 million was funded with interest accruing at 10% per annum. (B) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DECEMBER 31, 2004 VS. DECEMBER 31, 2003 The following table presents a year-to-date comparison of the Partnership's sources of net investment income, and realized and unrealized gains or losses by investment type.

The decrease is due to the sale of two apartment complexes in Salem, Oregon, increased vacancy at the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia due to a late 2003 lease termination, increased rental concessions within the apartment portfolio, and soft market conditions and vacancy within the office portfolio. The Partnership's acquisition of a controlling interest in a 161-room hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon resulted in a full year of operating income, partially offsetting the decrease in total net investment income. In addition, net investment income in 2003 benefited from a $1.9 million lease termination fee with respect to the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia. Revenue increased $1.6 million in 2004 compared to 2003. Administrative expenses increased $1.7 million in 2004 compared to 2003. Operating expenses increased $2.4 million in 2004 compared to 2003. All of these increases were due to the Partnership's acquisition of a controlling interest in a 161-room hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon as discussed above. Equity in income of real estate partnership increased $0.07 million in 2004 compared to 2003. The increase is due to an increase in revenue associated with expansion of an existing retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland. Interest and equity income on mortgage loans receivable and other loans receivable was $0.14 million for the year ended December 2004. This was due to the Leasehold Mortgage Loan associated with the redevelopment of a retail center in Westminster, Maryland. Income from other real estate investments was $0.25 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This was due to short-term financing for the acquisition of a retail center located in Westminster, Maryland. Interest on short-term investments decreased approximately $0.03 million in 2004 when compared to 2003. The decrease is due primarily to lower cash balances. 9 VALUATION OVERVIEW The Partnership recorded an unrealized gain of $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to an unrealized loss of $6.9 million during the corresponding period in 2003. The 2004 unrealized gain was attributed to the retail and apartment sectors. The retail sector recorded an unrealized gain totaling $2.1 million, primarily due to strengthening market fundamentals, renovation and re-leasing efforts at the Partnership's retail centers. The apartment portfolio recorded unrealized and realized gain of $1.1 million. While market conditions remain soft in the apartment sector, continued investor demand has increased valuations. The two office assets located in Brentwood, Tennessee recorded unrealized gains of $3.4 million in 2004; however, this was offset by continued weak market fundamentals in the office sector.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income for the Partnership's office portfolio was $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $0.1 million, when compared to the corresponding period in 2003. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The five office properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate unrealized gain of approximately $0.2 million during 2004. Large gains were recorded at both assets in Brentwood, Tennessee, mainly due to strengthening market conditions, increasing rents, and stabilized occupancy. Offsetting these gains were losses recorded at the office complexes located in Lisle and Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois and Beaverton, Oregon primarily due to lower market rents, decreased occupancy, and lease up costs associated with attracting new tenants. The five office properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $5.8 million during 2003. The losses were primarily due to decreased occupancy, lower market rents, and increased lease up costs. APARTMENT COMPLEXES

10 NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income for the Partnership's apartment complexes was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $1.2 million, when compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease was primarily due to (a) mortgage interest incurred for the complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina that was not applicable during the first six months of 2003, (b) the loss of income resulting from the sale of two apartment complexes in Salem, Oregon, and (c) soft market conditions affecting the remaining two apartment complexes located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon and Jacksonville, FL. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The Partnership recorded an aggregate unrealized gain of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to an unrealized loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 on its apartment complexes. The 2004 unrealized gain was primarily due to continued investor demand, which has caused an increase in valuations. The unrealized loss of $0.1 million in 2003 was mainly attributable to increased operating expenses at the apartment complexes located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon. RETAIL PROPERTIES

The principal component of higher net investment income in 2003 was the $1.9 million lease termination payment received at the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia. Partially offsetting the decreases attributable to the Roswell, Georgia property were increases in net investment income at the center in Ocean City, Maryland as a result of the expansion and the interest income generated by the Leasehold Mortgage Loan associated with the two Westminster, Maryland redevelopments. 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 thereafter. In late 2004, a new lease was executed for a 45,600 square foot Publix grocery store in Roswell, Georgia; the lease term is 20 years; rent commences upon completion of a new store (estimated to be in late 2005). UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The retail properties recorded an aggregate unrealized gain of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Kansas City, Kansas and Hampton, Virginia retail centers recorded unrealized gains primarily due to strengthening market fundamentals. The Ocean City, Maryland retail center recorded a gain due to completion of a pre-leased expansion of the center. Partially offsetting these gains was an unrealized loss of $2.5 million recorded at the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia due to the likely loss of a major anchor tenant at the expiration of its lease in January 2009. 11 The retail properties recorded an aggregate unrealized loss of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The retail center located in Hampton, Virginia had recorded an unrealized gain of $0.6 million in 2003 due to continued strengthening market fundamentals. The retail center in Ocean City, Maryland had recorded a net unrealized gain of $1.5 million in 2003 due to renovation and re-leasing efforts. Offsetting these gains was the unrealized loss for the Kansas City, Kansas retail centers, primarily due to renovations from the expansion of the existing grocery store anchor, which were not reflected as an increase in market value. In addition, an unrealized loss for the Roswell, Georgia retail center was recorded due to decreases in market rental rates and shorter-term lease renewals. INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income for the Partnership's industrial properties was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $0.1 million, when compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease was due to the loss of rent associated with the 2003 sale of the Salt Lake City asset. This was offset by an early termination penalty payment at the Aurora, Colorado asset. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The Aurora, Colorado industrial property owned by the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to an unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The unrealized loss recorded in 2004 and 2003 were due to soft market conditions and capital improvements at the property that were not reflected as an increase in market value. REALIZED GAIN On January 28, 2003 the industrial property located in Salt Lake City, Utah was sold for a realized gain of $0.5 million. HOTEL PROPERTY

* Hotel purchased in December 2003 NET INVESTMENT INCOME On December 10, 2003, the Partnership acquired a controlling interest in a 161-room hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon for $8.0 million. Net investment income from hotel operations was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. 12 UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The Lake Oswego, Oregon hotel property owned by the Partnership recorded an unrealized gain of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. OTHER Other net investment income decreased $0.4 million during the year ended December 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. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following sections discuss critical accounting policies applied in preparing our consolidated 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 carried at their purchase price. Subsequently, 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, with independent updates quarterly. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of Prudential Investment Management ("PIM") is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides objective and reasonable 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. Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership's equity in net assets as reflected in the partnership's financial statements with properties valued as described above. Mortgage and other loans receivable, which are accounted for as loans, are independently valued according to the same appraisal process as other investments in real estate. 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, except for other real estate investments, which are determined as stated above. 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 December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. 13 ITEM 7A. 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 32.85% 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 December 31, 2004: ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE AVERAGE MATURITY (IN $ MILLIONS) INTEREST RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash equivalents............ 0-3 months $17.6 5.18% The table below discloses the Partnership's fixed rate debt as of December 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.

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from tenants. 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.

F-3 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT DECEMBER 31, 2004 NOTE 1: GENERAL Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account ("Account") was established on October 30, 1987 by resolution of the Board of Directors of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), a 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.

The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey. These products are Appreciable Life ("VAL"), Variable Life ("VLI"), Discovery Plus ("SPVA"), and Discovery Life Plus ("SPVL"). The assets of the Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the 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. 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 December 31, 2004 and 2003 the Account's interest in the Partnership was 4.3% or 309,093 shares and 4.3% or 318,217 shares respectively. 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.

These products have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the contract owner's account balance. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns. The following table was developed by determining which products offered by Pruco Life of New Jersey have the lowest and highest total expense ratio. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options as discussed in Note 1. The table reflects contract owner units only.

The table above reflects information for units held by contract owners. Pruco Life of New Jersey also maintains a position in the Real Property Account, to provide for property acquisitions and capital expenditure funding needs. Pruco Life of New Jersey held 875,413, 901,524, 1,393,587 and 1,304,664 units representing $2,040,688, $1,993,278, $3,036,542 and $2,826,338 of net assets as of December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Charges for mortality risk, expense risk and administrative expenses are used by Pruco Life of New Jersey to purchase additional units in its account resulting in no impact of its net assets. * This amount represents the proportionate share of the net investment income from the underlying Partnership divided by the total average assets of the Account. This ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. ** These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Partnership are excluded. F-6 *** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Partnership, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. 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 of New Jersey. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values. B. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES Administrative charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 0.35% applied daily against the net assets representing equity of contract owners held in each subaccount for SPVA and SPVL. Administrative charges include costs associated with issuing the contract, establishing and maintaining records, and providing reports to contract owners. The administrative charge is assessed through reduction in unit values. C. COST OF INSURANCE AND OTHER RELATED CHARGES Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being invested in the 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 of New Jersey 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 of New Jersey for the guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. These charges are assesseed through the redemption of units. D. DEFERRED SALES CHARGE Subsequent to a contract owner redemption, a deferred sales charge is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued but will not exceed 45% of one scheduled annual premium for VAL contracts and 9% of the initial premium payment for SPVL. No sales charge will be imposed after the sixth and tenth year of the contract for SPVL and VAL, respectively. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits. A deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units. E. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE A charge is imposed by Pruco Life of New Jersey on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for VAL. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a contract. A charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

These services include, among other things, shareholder communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various other record keeping and customer service functions.

THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. F-15 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002 NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION On April 29, 1988, The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"), a general partnership organized under New Jersey law, was formed through an agreement among The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"). 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 Prudential, Pruco Life and Pruco Life of New Jersey. The Partnership's policy is to invest at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans. The estimated market value of the Partnership's shares is determined daily, consistent with the Partnership Agreement. On each day during which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, the net asset value of the Partnership is estimated using the estimated market value of its assets, principally as described in Notes 2A, 2B and 2C below, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A, 2B and 2C below and other adjustments to previous estimates are made on a prospective basis. There can be no assurance that all such adjustments to estimates will be made timely. Shares of the Partnership are held by The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property Accounts") and may be purchased and sold at the then current share value of the Partnership's net assets. Share value is calculated by dividing the estimated market value of net assets of the Partnership as determined above by the number of shares outstanding. A contract owner participates in the Partnership through interests in the Real Property Accounts. Prudential Real Estate Investors ("PREI") is the real estate advisory unit of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. ("PIM"), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial Inc. ("PFI"). PREI provides investment advisory services to the Partnership's partners pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement as described in Note 9. NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION--The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been presented on the market value basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It is the Partnership's policy to consolidate those real estate partnerships in which it has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. C: REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS--Real estate investments are shown at estimated market value in accordance with the terms of the Partnership's contracts. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and F-16 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002 below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition. Market value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of PIM is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property market value estimates. American Appraisal Associates (the "Appraisal Management Firm"), an entity not affiliated with PIM, has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. The market value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments. Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership's equity in net assets as reflected in the partnerships' financial statements with properties valued as described above. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at the original investment amount, plus additional amounts invested, and is subsequently adjusted for the Partnership's share of undistributed earnings or losses (including unrealized appreciation and depreciation) from the underlying entity. 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 estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2004. D: OTHER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS--Other real estate investments include notes receivable, which are valued at the amount due and approximate market value. E: 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 market value. F: MARKETABLE SECURITIES--Marketable securities are highly liquid investments with maturities of more than three months when purchased and are carried at estimated market value. G: OTHER ASSETS--Cash of $212,989 and $216,883 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for tenant security deposits and is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other assets also includes tenant receivable and is net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $46,690 and $76,800 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. H: MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE--Mortgage loans payable are stated at the principal amount of the obligation outstanding. At times the Partnership may assume debt in connection with the purchase of real estate. For debt assumed, 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. I: DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS--Included in Other Assets are deferred financing costs amounting to $391,666 and $313,425, which are net of accumulated amortization of $878,316 and $713,990 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and which are being amortized over the term of the related obligation. F-17 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002 J: 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 market value, net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense. K: EQUITY IN INCOME OF REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP--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. L: 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. M: 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"), 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 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 3: DISCLOSURE OF SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION AND NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITY Cash paid for interest during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was $2,595,651, $2,462,387, and $1,989,473, respectively. During the fourth quarter 2002, in conjunction with the acquisition of a real estate investment, the Partnership assumed mortgage loan financing of $7.4 million. F-18 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002 NOTE 4: REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP Real estate partnership is valued at the Partnership's equity in net assets as reflected by the partnership's financial statements with properties valued as indicated in Note 2C above. The partnership's combined financial position at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are summarized as follows (in 000's): DECEMBER 31, 2004 2003 ------- ------- Partnership Assets and Liabilities Real estate at estimated market value ... $34,200 $29,450 Other assets ............................ 1,217 1,536 ------- ------- Total assets ............................ 35,417 30,986 ------- ------- Mortgage loans payable ................. 18,564 18,834 Other liabilities ....................... 370 321 ------- ------- Total liabilities ....................... 18,934 19,155 ------- ------- Net Assets .............................. $16,483 $11,831 ======= ======= Partnership's Share of Net Assets .......... $12,127 $ 8,721 ======= ======= YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 2003 2002 ------- ------- ------- Partnership Operations Rental revenue .......................... $ 3,125 $ 3,114 $ 3,017 Other revenue ........................... 1,710 1,360 1,153 ------- ------- ------- Total revenue ........................... 4,835 4,474 4,170 ------- ------- ------- Real estate expenses and taxes .......... 2,481 2,196 2,065 Interest expense ........................ 1,500 1,555 1,652 ------- ------- ------- Total expenses .......................... 3,981 3,751 3,717 ------- ------- ------- Net Investment Income ................... $ 854 $ 723 $ 453 ======= ======= ======= Partnership's equity in income of real estate partnerships ................. $ 629 $ 561 $ 276 ======= ======= ======= F-19 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002 NOTE 5: MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE: Debt includes mortgage loans payable as summarized below (in 000's):

The Partnership's share of equity partnership debt has an estimated fair value of approximately $20.0 million and a carrying value of $18.6 million. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect estimated fair value. NOTE 6: CONCENTRATION OF RISK ON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had real estate investments located throughout the United States. The diversification of the Partnership's holdings based on the estimated market values and established NCREIF regions is as follows: ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE REGION (000'S) REGION % ------ ------------ -------- East North Central......................... $ 19,798 9% Mideast.................................... 59,633 28% Mountain................................... 10,204 5% Pacific.................................... 31,844 15% Southeast.................................. 83,100 37% West North Central......................... 12,126 6% -------- ---- Total...................................... $216,705 100% ======== ==== The above allocations are based on (1) 100% of the estimated market value of wholly-owned properties and consolidated joint ventures, and (2) the estimated market value of the Partnership's net equity in non-consolidated ventures. NOTE 7: PURCHASE COMMITMENT OBLIGATIONS PURCHASE COMMITMENTS: Purchase commitments includes forward commitments without conditions waived, commitments to purchase real estate and/or fund additional expenditures on previously acquired properties and loan take out agreements. Certain purchases of real estate are contingent on a developer building the real estate according to plans and specifications outlined in the pre-sale agreement or the property achieving a certain level of leasing. It is anticipated that funding will be provided by operating cash flow, real estate investment sales, and deposits from the Partnership. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership had the following outstanding purchase commitments: COMMITMENTS PROPERTY TYPE (000'S) ------------- ----------- Other...................................................... 1,600 ------ Total...................................................... $1,600 ====== F-21 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002 NOTE 8: LEASING ACTIVITY The Partnership leases space to tenants under various operating lease agreements. These agreements, without giving effect to renewal options, have expiration dates ranging from 2005 to 2050. At December 31, 2004, the aggregate future minimum base rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases for wholly owned and consolidated joint venture properties by year are as follows: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, (000'S) ----------------------- ------- 2005....................................................... $11,978 2006....................................................... 11,392 2007....................................................... 10,464 2008....................................................... 9,346 2009....................................................... 6,672 Thereafter................................................. 18,900 ------- Total...................................................... $68,752 ======= NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In 1986, Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the Partnership to acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership under this commitment have been utilized for property acquisitions, and were to be returned to Prudential on an ongoing basis from contract owners' net contributions and other available cash. The amount of the commitment has been reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in current value net assets of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2004, the cost basis of Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment (held through the Real Property Accounts) was $44 million. Prudential terminated this commitment on December 31, 2002. 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 financial position of the Partnership. NOTE 10: OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to an investment management agreement, 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 years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 management fees incurred by the Partnership were $2.7 million, $2.5 million, and $2.5 million for each of the three years, respectively. The Partnership also reimburses PIM for certain administrative services rendered by PIM. The amounts incurred for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $141,130; $132,380; and $132,380, respectively, and are classified as administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
