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 ("Prudential"), 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. The remainder of the Partnership's assets may be invested in other types of real estate-related investments, including real estate investment trusts. Office Properties--The Partnership owns office properties in Lisle and Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois; Brentwood, Tennessee; and Beaverton, Oregon. Total square footage owned is approximately 465,000 of which 48% or 224,000 square feet are leased between 1 and 10 years. Apartment Complexes--The Partnership owns apartment complexes in Atlanta, Georgia and Raleigh, North Carolina. There are a total of 490 apartment units available of which 92% or 451 units are leased. Leases range from month to month to one year. In addition, on September 17, 1999, the Partnership invested in an apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida. This joint venture investment has a total of 458 units available of which 415 units or 91% are occupied. Leases range from month-to-month to one year. Also, on February 15, 2001, the Partnership invested in four apartment complexes located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon. This joint venture investment has a total of 493 units available of which 445 units or 90% are occupied. Leases range from month-to-month to one year. Retail Property--The Partnership owns a shopping center in Roswell, Georgia. The property is located approximately 22 miles north of downtown Atlanta on a 30-acre site. The square footage is approximately 314,000 of which 76% or 240,000 square feet is leased for between 1 and 20 years. On September 30, 1999, the Partnership invested in a retail portfolio located in the Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri areas. This joint venture investment has approximately 488,000 of net rentable square feet of which 83% or 404,000 square feet is leased for between 1 and 20 years. On May 17, 2001, the Partnership invested in a retail center located in the Hampton, Virginia. This joint venture investment has approximately 175,000 of net rentable square feet of which 100% is leased for between 1 and 20 years. On November 27, 2002, the Partnership invested in a retail center located in the Ocean City, Maryland. This joint venture investment has approximately 186,000 of net rentable square feet of which 100% is leased for between 1 and 30 years. Industrial Properties--The Partnership owns a warehouse/distribution center in Aurora, Colorado. Total square footage owned is approximately 278,000 of which 70% or 194,000 square feet are leased between 1 and 10 years. The Partnership's Bolingbrook, Illinois property, which had approximately 225,000 square feet, was sold on September 12, 2002. The Partnership's Salt Lake City, Utah property, which had approximately 183,000 square feet, was sold on January 28, 2003. Hotel Property--On December 10, 2003, the Partnership invested in a hotel located in the Portland, Oregon area. This joint venture investment has approximately 161 rooms. 4 Investment in Real Estate Trust--The Partnership liquidated its entire investment in REIT shares during December 2001. 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 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. 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. These results are not indicative of future performance. REAL ESTATE MARKET OVERVIEW Real estate property market fundamentals continued to deteriorate in most sectors and markets last year. However, real estate investment performance remained strong due to low interest rates and robust capital flows, both of which helped to further reduce capitalization rates. For example, strong performances continued in the fourth quarter among private institutional real estate investment, as measured by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries ("NCREIF") index, and public equity REITs, as measured by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust ("NAREIT") Equity REIT Index. The NCREIF index had a 2.76% total return in 4th Quarter 2003, up noticeably from the 1.97% return in 3rd Quarter 2003. For the year, the NCREIF index returned 9.00%. The NAREIT Equity REIT Index improved 50 basis points during 4th Quarter 2003, when it returned 10.0%. For the year, the NAREIT index returned 37.1%. Rising interest rates or diminished investor interest in this asset class could cause investment performance to suffer, particularly given the deterioration in other market fundamentals noted above. OFFICE MARKET In 3rd and 4th Quarter 2003, the office market showed signs of improvement. Torto Wheaton, a commercial real estate research firm, reported that the 4th Quarter 2003 average vacancy rate declined 10 basis points to 16.8%, following vacancy decline in the 3rd Quarter, although average vacancy still increased for the year. Downtown and suburban markets both saw 10 basis points vacancy rate declines, to 13.9% for downtown markets and 18.5% for suburban markets. After a drop in total return during the previous quarter, the NCREIF office subindex increased by 0.38% to 1.63% in 4th Quarter 2003. The total return was comprised of a 1.96% income return and a 0.32% decline in property value. The Central Business District and suburban office subtypes both enjoyed improvements in return during the quarter. Central Business District properties returned 1.79% in 4th Quarter 2003, up from 1.56% in the prior quarter, while suburban properties improved from 1.05% to 1.53%, over the same period. APARTMENT MARKET After showing some improvement in the third quarter performance, the apartment market declined in 4th Quarter 2003. Slight negative absorption during the quarter reversed the positive trend from the previous two quarters and pushed the vacancy rate from 6.6% to 6.9%. Real Estate Information Standard ("REIS") states that seasonality as well as weak job growth are the two most likely explanations for the fourth quarter performance. Still, asking rents increased 0.5% for the quarter and 1.4% for all of 2003. 5 The performance of private investment in the apartment sector remained virtually unchanged during the most recent quarter, as appreciation and income returns were flat. The NCREIF apartment subindex returned 2.04% in the fourth quarter, up slightly from the 2.03% in the previous quarter. Appreciation declined by 30 basis points to 0.20%, while income increased from 1.49% to 1.54%. Garden-style apartments were again the top subtype performer, with a 2.13% return, followed closely by high-rise apartments, with a 2.06% return. Low-rise apartments were the lowest subtype performer, with a decline from a 1.89% return in 3rd Quarter 2003 to a 0.33% loss in 4th Quarter 2003. RETAIL MARKET Retail continued to be the only property sector where both space market fundamentals and investment performance were relatively balanced during the 4th Quarter. Retail vacancy rates increased only modestly as new supply and demand grew at similar rates. According to Property and Portfolio Research ("PPR"), a commercial real estate research firm, the average national retail vacancy rate increased to 12.7% in the third quarter last year from 12.5% in 2002 and 12.1% in 2001. After seeing returns drop in 3rd Quarter 2003, private investment in retail properties returned in the most recent quarter. The NCREIF retail subindex had a 6.29% total return during 4th Quarter 2003, a 3.25% improvement over the prior quarter due almost entirely to a large jump in appreciation. Regional malls were the best performing subtype with an 8.40% total return, followed by neighborhood centers (6.67%), super-regional malls (6.44%), community centers (4.68%) and power centers (3.30%). INDUSTRIAL MARKET Conditions in the industrial market continued to decline. According to Torto Wheaton, during 4th Quarter 2003, the average national availability rate for industrial properties increased 10 basis points from 11.6% to 11.7%. This is the 12th consecutive quarter of overall availability increases and the sixth consecutive since the market surpassed its previous high availability rate of 10.7%. According to NCREIF, although fundamentals continued to deteriorate, private investment in industrial properties increased for the second straight quarter, from 2.26% to 2.35%. The increase occurred despite a drop in income return to 1.98% from 2.06%. Appreciation increased 0.18% to 0.38%. Each subtype made gains, all from appreciation increases, as opposed to income gains. Flex space returned 2.32%, up from 2.11%, Office/Showroom/Manufacturing increased 1.11%, up from 0.90%, R&D registered a 2.02% return, up from 1.57%, and warehouse stood at 2.40%, up from 2.36%. HOTEL MARKET According to Smith Travel Research, a commercial real estate research firm, the hotel sector began to show improvement. During 4th Quarter 2003, hotel occupancy increased 2.8% to 55.2% on a year-over-year basis. Further, average room rates increased 0.8% to $82.48, and revenue per available room increased 3.6% over the same period. On a year-to-date basis through December, economy-class hotels are the only class to see a decrease in occupancy (1.1%) from the previous year. Other categories such as upper upscale (0.3%) upscale (0.8%) and independents (0.7%) all saw increases in occupancy during the same period. Private hotel investment abated in 4th Quarter 2003, after two consecutive quarters of strong growth. The NCREIF hotel subindex had a 0.37% total return in the most recent quarter, down from 2.50% in 3rd Quarter 2003, making it the worst performing subindex. The majority of the decline was due to a drop in appreciation return, which went from a positive 0.47% to a negative 1.35% during the quarter. Income also fell but by a much smaller margin than appreciation. 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 AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS 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, 2003 there were approximately 2,956 contract owners of record investing in the Real Property Account. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA FOR THE PARTNERSHIP

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 Financial Statements and the related Notes to the Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. (a) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of December 31, 2003, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents were $18.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million from $18.6 million at December 31, 2002. The change in the Partnership's cash position was primarily due to an increase in net cash flows from operating and financing activities, property acquisitions and dispositions, and distributions to the Partners. 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 December 31, 2003 and 2002, 8.02% and 8.1% of the Partnership's total assets consisted of cash and short-term obligations, respectively. 7 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 were utilized for property acquisitions, and could be returned to Prudential on an ongoing basis from the contract owners' net contributions and other available cash. This commitment terminated on December 31, 2002. During the period that this commitment was in effect, Prudential funded $44 million. The Partnership made $6.9 million in distributions to the Partners during 2003, and $16.1 million in distributions during 2002. 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. On December 10, 2003, the Partnership acquired a controlling interest in a 161-room hotel located in Portland, Oregon for $8.0 million. In April 2003, the Partnership also bought out its minority partner's interest in a consolidated retail investment located in Hampton, VA for approximately $2.0 million. During 2003, the Partnership spent approximately $5.4 million in capital expenditures on wholly owned and consolidated joint venture properties. Approximately $3.2 million of that amount was associated with the development of the retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The remaining $2.2 million balance was primarily associated with renovations and leasing related costs at the apartment complexes located in Jacksonville, Florida and Gresham/Salem, Oregon, the industrial building located in Aurora, Colorado, the office buildings located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois and Lisle, Illinois, and the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia. The Partnership also increased its investment in real estate partnerships by approximately $1.3 million in connection with the redevelopment and expansion of the retail centers located in Kansas City, Missouri. On January 28, 2003, the Partnership sold the industrial property located in Salt Lake City, UT for $5.8 million. On April 23, 2003, the Partnership also sold one of the retail centers located in Kansas City, Missouri for $2.6 million. (b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is a brief year-to-date comparison of the Partnership's results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. 2003 VS. 2002 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.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME OVERVIEW The Partnership's net investment income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 was $10.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $10.9 million when compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to increased vacancy within the office portfolio and the loss of income resulting from the sales of the industrial properties in Bolingbrook, Illinois in September 2002 and Salt Lake City, Utah in January 2003. Offsetting these decreases is the $1.9 million lease termination fee received at the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia. Equity in income of real estate partnership was $0.6 million for 2003, an increase of $0.3 million from $0.3 million in 2002. This increase is due to an increase in revenue associated with expansion of the existing grocery store anchor that was completed during the second quarter. Interest on short-term investments decreased approximately $0.2 million or 38.1% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 due primarily to lower interest rates. Interest expense increased $0.6 million, or 28.5%, in 2003 compared to 2002. This increase was primarily due to the Partnership's assumption of a $7.4 million mortgage loan in conjunction with the acquisition of a controlling interest in a retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland in late 2002 and the financing of an $8.8 million note placed on the apartment investment located in Raleigh, North Carolina on June 27, 2003. Minority interest expense decreased $0.1 million, or 37.0%, in 2003 compared to 2002. This decrease was primarily due to the Partnership's buyout of its minority partner's interest in the retail center located in Hampton, Virginia on April 15, 2003. VALUATION OVERVIEW The Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $6.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net unrealized loss of $8.9 million during the corresponding period in 2002. The unrealized losses during the twelve months of 2003 were experienced in the office, industrial, retail, and apartment sectors. The office portfolio recorded an unrealized loss totaling $5.8 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. The industrial property in Aurora, Colorado experienced an unrealized loss of $0.6 million for the twelve months of 2003 due to decreases in market rental rates and capital expenditures at the property that were not reflected as an increase in market value. The retail sector experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.5 million primarily due to the lease termination at the Roswell, Georgia retail center and capital expenditures that were not reflected as an increase in market value at the retail center located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri. Offsetting these losses in the retail sector was the gain in value due to strengthening market fundamentals, renovation and re-leasing efforts, and the authorization of the pre-leased expansion at the center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The apartment sector also experienced an unrealized loss of $0.1 million due to the apartment portfolio located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon. The decrease is a result of projected increases in operating expenses. 9 OFFICE PORTFOLIO

NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income from property operations for the office sector decreased approximately $2.8 million, or 57.8%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 when compared to the corresponding period in 2002 primarily due to increased vacancy and weak market fundamentals. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The five office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $5.8 million during the twelve months of 2003. 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 $6.8 million during the twelve months of 2002. The decrease in values was primarily due to a reduction in market rental rates, softening market conditions, and a decrease in occupancy due to various near-term lease expirations, and the move-out of the single tenant occupying all of the space at one of the buildings in Brentwood, Tennessee. As of December 31, 2003 all vacant spaces were being marketed. APARTMENT COMPLEXES

NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income from property operations for the apartment sector was $3.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $0.3 million, or 8.8%, when compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The increases were mainly due to the effect of a reclassification, which took place in 2003, of 2002 repairs and maintenance expenses to building improvements for the apartment complex located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon and increased operational efficiencies and occupancy throughout the year at the apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida during 2003. 10 UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net unrealized loss of $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. The unrealized loss for 2003 was mainly attributable to the apartment complex located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon and the apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia due to an increase in projected operating expenses and capital expenditures, respectively. Offsetting this loss is the unrealized gain at the apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida due to market rent increases. The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. These unrealized losses were due to softening market conditions, which have resulted in lower short-term occupancy and income projections, increased rental concessions, and increases in operating expense levels. As of December 31, 2003, all available vacant units were being marketed. RETAIL PROPERTIES

* Center purchased in November 2002 NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income for the Partnership's retail properties was approximately $6.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, an increase of $2.8 million, or 70.7%, when compared to the corresponding period in 2002. This increase was primarily due to a $1.9 million lease termination fee received at the retail center located in Roswell, Georgia, and the Partnership's acquisition of a controlling interest in a retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland in late 2002. Also 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 commencing on the buyout date and going forward. UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS The retail properties experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. The Roswell, Georgia retail center had a decrease in value resulting from the lease termination as previously discussed. The Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri retail center experienced a net unrealized loss primarily due to capital expenditures, which were not reflected as an increase in market value. Offsetting these losses was the gain in value due to strengthening market fundamentals, renovation and re-leasing efforts, and the authorization of the pre-leased expansion at the center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The retail properties experienced a net unrealized loss of $1.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. This was primarily attributable to the center located in Roswell, Georgia due to increased risk that a major tenant would not renew its lease, coupled with a deterioration in the market position of the property and lower market rents. Also the Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri retail center experienced a net unrealized loss primarily due to capital expenditures that were not reflected as an increase in market value. Partially offsetting these losses, the retail center located in Hampton, VA experienced an unrealized gain due to the addition of 20,000 rentable square feet and an increase in occupancy. As of December 31, 2003, all vacant spaces were being marketed. 11 INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties decreased from $1.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 to $1.0 million for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2003. The majority of this decrease was due to the sale of the industrial property located in Bolingbrook, Illinois during the third quarter of 2002 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 a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 compared to a net unrealized gain of approximately $0.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. The unrealized loss experienced in 2003 is due to soft market conditions and capital expenditures at the property that were not reflected as an increase in market value. The two industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized gain of approximately $0.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. The majority of the unrealized gain in 2002 was attributable to an increase in market rents. Offsetting this unrealized gain was the Salt Lake City, UT facility, which experienced a net unrealized loss due to capital expenditures at the property that were not reflected as an increase in market value and softening market conditions. As of December 31, 2003, all vacant spaces were being marketed. 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. On September 12, 2002 the industrial property located in Bolingbrook, Illinois was sold for a realized gain of $0.4 million. OTHER Other net investment income decreased $0.04 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period in 2002. Other net investment income includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses. 2002 VS. 2001 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. 12

The Partnership's net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $10.9 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from $12.4 million when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The Partnership's liquidation of its investment in REIT stocks during the fourth quarter of 2001 resulted in no dividend income being received in 2002. Additionally, the occupancy at one of the Brentwood, TN properties had decreased to 0% in 2002 from 100% in 2001 due to the move-out of the single tenant. Equity in income of real estate partnership was $0.3 million for the twelve months of 2002, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 59.8%, from $0.7 million in the corresponding period in 2001. This decrease is due to a decrease in revenue associated with expansion of the existing grocery store anchor that commenced during the fourth quarter of 2001. It is anticipated that upon completion, both occupancy and rental rates will increase. Dividend income from real estate investment trusts decreased approximately $2.2 million, or 100.0%, during the twelve months of 2002 compared to the corresponding period in 2001. These decreases were due to the Partnership's liquidation of its investment in REIT stocks during the fourth quarter of 2001. Interest on short-term investments increased approximately $0.2 million or 53.6% for the year ended December 31, 2002 due primarily to higher average cash balance when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. Administrative expense increased $0.8 million, or 32.8%, in the twelve months of 2002 compared to the corresponding period in 2001. These increases were primarily due to the Partnership's acquisition of a portfolio of apartment complexes located in Gresham and Salem, OR in 2001, a retail center located in Hampton, Virginia in 2001, and a retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland in 2002. 13 Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 12.0%, in the twelve months of 2002 compared to the corresponding period in 2001. This increase was primarily due to the Partnership's assumption of a $9.0 million and a $10.3 million mortgage loan in conjunction with the acquisition of a controlling interest in a portfolio of apartment complexes located in Gresham and Salem, Oregon and a retail center located in Hampton, Virginia in 2001. There was also the additional assumption of a $7.4 million mortgage loan in conjunction with the acquisition of a controlling interest in a retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland in 2002. The Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to a net unrealized loss of $2.3 million during the corresponding period in 2001. The unrealized losses during 2002 were experienced in the office, apartment and retail sectors. The office properties recorded an unrealized loss of $6.8 million primarily due to the buildings located in Brentwood, Tennessee and Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, where softening market conditions have resulted in reductions in market rental rates and increased leasing costs. In total, the apartment complexes in the portfolio experienced unrealized losses totaling $0.9 million for the twelve months of 2002. Weaker demand caused by higher rates of unemployment and a favorable interest rate environment for homebuyers has resulted in lower short-term occupancy and income projections. The retail sector also experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.8 million primarily due to uncertainty about a lease renewal by a major tenant. OFFICE PROPERTIES Net investment income from property operations for the office sector increased approximately $0.1 million, or 1.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. The five office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $6.8 million during the twelve months of 2002. The Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois property experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $3.3 million primarily due to softening market conditions and the lease expiration of a major tenant. One of the Brentwood, Tennessee properties experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $1.4 million primarily due to the move-out of the single tenant at the property in July 2002. Though occupancy increased by 4%, the other Brentwood, Tennessee property experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $1.3 million primarily due to softening market conditions. The Lisle, Illinois property experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million primarily due to impending tenant rollover and softening market conditions. The office property located in Beaverton, Oregon experienced an unrealized loss of approximately $0.1 million due to lower market rental rates and the near-term lease expiration of one of the tenants. The five office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.8 million during the twelve months of 2001. One of the Brentwood, Tennessee properties experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.7 million primarily due to the near-term expiration and expected move-out of the single tenant at the property in July 2002. The Beaverton, Oregon and the Lisle, Illinois office properties experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily due to softening market conditions. Offsetting these unrealized losses was an unrealized gain of approximately $0.6 million at the office property located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. This unrealized gain was attributable to the signing of two new leases, which brought the leased area from 55% to 79%. Occupancy at one of the Brentwood, Tennessee office properties increased from 74% at December 31, 2001 to 78% at December 31, 2002. The other Brentwood, Tennessee office property decreased from 100% at December 31, 2001 to 0% at December 31, 2002. Occupancy at the Lisle, Illinois and Beaverton, Oregon office properties remained unchanged at 100% at December 31, 2001 and 2002. Occupancy at the Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois office decreased from 79% at December 31, 2001 to 27% at December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002 all vacant spaces were being marketed. APARTMENT COMPLEXES Net investment income from property operations for the apartment sector was $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 17.3%, when compared to the corresponding period in 2001. These decreases were primarily due to a decrease in average occupancy at the Atlanta, Georgia apartment complex. Average occupancy for the Atlanta, Georgia apartment complex was 90% and 83% for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Additionally, rental concessions were made with a goal attracting and retaining occupants thus resulting in lower revenue at all the apartment complexes. 14 The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to a net unrealized gain of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Of the unrealized loss experienced in the twelve months of 2002, $1.3 million was experienced at the apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia. This unrealized loss was due to softening market conditions. The apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida experienced an unrealized loss of $0.2 million due to slightly higher expense estimates and soft ening market conditions. The apartment portfolio located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon, also experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.1 million primarily due to increases in operating expense levels and softening market conditions. Offsetting these losses, the apartment complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina experienced an unrealized gain of $0.7 million due to a reduced estimate of rent concessions and a reduction in certain operating expenses. The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The majority of the unrealized gain experienced in 2001 was primarily due to the Atlanta, Georgia apartment complex that experienced an increase in value of $0.9 million due to sub-metering of the apartments for water usage and lower real estate taxes than previously estimated. The apartment complex portfolio located in Gresham and Salem, Oregon also experienced an increase in value of $0.4 million due to the completion of capital improvements and a reduction of administrative expense estimates. Offsetting these unrealized gains was the apartment complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina, which experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.5 million due to a decrease in occupancy. The apartment complex in Jacksonville, Florida also experienced a decrease in value of $0.4 million due to higher replacement reserve expenses, higher operating expense projections, and slightly lower market rent estimates. Occupancy at the Atlanta, Georgia complex increased from 83% at December 31, 2001 to 90% at December 31, 2002. Occupancy at the Raleigh, North Carolina complex increased from 82% at December 31, 2001 to 88% at December 31, 2002. Occupancy at the apartment complex in Jacksonville, Florida increased from 88% at December 31, 2001 to 90% at December 31, 2002. Occupancy at the Gresham and Salem, Oregon apartment complexes decreased from 93% at December 31, 2001 to 92% at December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, all available vacant units were being marketed. RETAIL PROPERTIES Net investment income for the Partnership's retail properties was approximately $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and approximately $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase in the year-to-date net investment income for the retail sector is primarily due to the May 2001 acquisition of the retail center located in Hampton, Virginia and the November 2002 acquisition of the retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The retail properties experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and a net unrealized loss of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The retail center located in Roswell, Georgia experienced a net unrealized loss of $1.7 million for the twelve months of 2002 due to the risk that a major tenant would not renew its lease, coupled with lower market rents. Partially offsetting this loss, the retail center located in Hampton, Virginia experienced an unrealized gain of $0.9 million due to the addition of 20,000 rentable square feet and an increase in occupancy. The retail properties experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The retail center located in Roswell, Georgia experienced a loss of $0.6 million for 2001 due to increased capital expenditures and a slight drop in occupancy. Offsetting this unrealized loss was an unrealized gain of $0.5 million resulting from the market value appraisal received on the newly acquired retail center located in Hampton, Virginia. Occupancy at the retail center in Hampton, Virginia remained unchanged at 100% at December 31, 2001 and 2002. Occupancy at the shopping center located in Roswell, Georgia increased from 92% at December 31, 2001 to 93% at December 31, 2002. Occupancy at the retail center in Ocean City, Maryland was 99% at December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, all vacant spaces were being marketed. 15 INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties increased from $0.5 million for year ended December 31, 2001 to $1.4 million for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2002. The majority of this increase was due to higher revenues at the properties located in Bolingbrook, Illinois and Salt Lake City, Utah. On September 12, 2002 the industrial property located in Bolingbrook, Illinois was sold for a realized gain of $0.4 million. Average occupancy for the Bolingbrook, Illinois industrial property was 24% and 79% for the year ended December 31, 2001 and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. The industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized gain of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to a net unrealized loss of approximately $2.1 million in 2001. The majority of the unrealized gain in 2002 was attributable to the Aurora, Colorado industrial property. This gain of approximately $0.5 million was due to an increase in market rents. Offsetting this unrealized gain was the Salt Lake City, Utah facility, which experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.3 million due to capital expenditures at the property that were not reflected as an increase in market value and softening market conditions. The three industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $2.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The majority of the unrealized loss in 2001 was attributable to the Salt Lake City, Utah industrial property. This loss of approximately $1.3 million was due to a decrease in market rents. The Bolingbrook, Illinois facility experienced a loss of $0.9 million due to a decrease in rental rates and softening market conditions. The occupancy at the Salt Lake City, Utah property remained unchanged at 77% at December 31, 2001 and 2002. The Aurora, Colorado property's occupancy rate remained unchanged at 75% at December 31, 2001 and 2002. As of December 31, 2002, all vacant spaces were being marketed. EQUITY IN INCOME OF REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP During the year ended December 31, 2002, income from the investment located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri amounted to $0.3 million, a decrease of 59.8% from $0.7 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in the year-to-date equity in income of real estate partnership is due to a decrease in revenue associated with expansion of the existing grocery store anchor that commenced during the fourth quarter 2001. It is anticipated that upon completion, both occupancy and rental rates will increase. The equity investment experienced a net unrealized loss of $0.6 million and a net unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The unrealized loss of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 was primarily due to renovations from the expansion of the existing grocery store anchor that have not been reflected yet in the market value of the property. The unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 was primarily due to the addition of a tenant that will provide a substantial amount of income to the center in rent and the addition of new space to house this tenant. The retail portfolio located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri had an average occupancy of 90% at December 31, 2001, which decreased to 87% at December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002, all vacant spaces were being marketed. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS The Partnership's investment in REITS was liquidated at the end of the fourth quarter of 2001. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership's remaining investment in REITS recognized a realized loss of $0.2 million due to the sale of the Partnership's remaining investment in REITs. OTHER Other net investment income increased $0.1 million during the year of 2002 compared to the corresponding period in 2001. Other net investment income includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and expenses not related to property activities. The increase in 2002 is primarily due to an increase in interest income from short-term investments offset by a decrease in management fees due to the Partnership's liquidation of its entire investment in REIT shares. 16 (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. 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. 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 December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. 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. 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 34.59% 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. 17 The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the Partnership's cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2003:
ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE AVERAGE MATURITY (IN $ MILLIONS) INTEREST RATE -------------------------------------------------------------- Cash equivalents......................... 0-3 months $18.9 0.94%
The table below discloses the Partnership's fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2003. 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. On October 9, 2003 the Partnership refinanced its variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 4.34%. 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.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Contract Owners of the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account and the Board of Directors of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of shares at December 31, 2003 with The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. F-3 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT DECEMBER 31, 2003 NOTE 1: GENERAL Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account ("Real Property 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. The assets of the Real Property Account are segregated from Pruco Life of New Jersey'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 of New Jersey. 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 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 Real Property Account's proportionate interest of the Partnership's market value. At December 31, 2003 and 2002 the Real Property Account's interest in the Partnership was 4.3% or 318,217 shares and 4.8% or 367,199 shares respectively. 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. D. EQUITY OF PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY Pruco Life of New Jersey maintains a position in the Real Property Account for property acquisitions and capital expenditure funding needs. The position is also utilized 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. F-4 NOTE 3: TAXES Pruco Life of New Jersey is taxed as a "life insurance company" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The results of operations of the 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.

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 901,523, 1,393,587 and 1,304,664 units representing $1,993,278, $3,036,542 and $2,826,338 of net assets as of December 31, 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 to 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 assessed 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% 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 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.

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, 2003, 2002, AND 2001 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 and 2B below, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A and 2B 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 are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. 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: 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 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 objective and accurate 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 objectivity and accuracy of the appraisal process. 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. F-16 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002, AND 2001 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 December 31, 2003 and 2002. C: OTHER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS--Other real estate investments include notes receivable, which are valued at the amount due and approximate market value. D: 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. E: 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. F: 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. At the time of the assumption, 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. G: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. 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. H: OTHER ASSETS--Cash of $216,883 and $237,732 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for tenant security deposits and is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other assets are net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $76,800 and $69,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. I: MARKETABLE SECURITIES--Marketable securities are highly liquid investments with maturities of more than three months when purchased and are carried at estimated market value. J: 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. K: DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS--Included in Other Assets are deferred financing costs amounting to $313,425 and $637,980, which are net of accumulated amortization of $713,990 and $190,404 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2003, 2002, AND 2001 L: 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 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. M: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which rescinded Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt". SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 145 on January 1, 2003, which had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership. 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, 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $2,462,387, $1,989,473, and $1,776,701, 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. During the first and second quarters of 2001, in conjunction with the acquisition of two real estate investments, the Partnership assumed mortgage loan financing of $9.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively. 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 2B above. The partnership's combined financial position at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 are summarized as follows:

* Represents the Partnership's interest in the loan based upon the estimated percentage of net assets which would be distributed to the Partnership if the partnership were liquidated at December 31, 2003. It does not represent the Partnership's legal obligation. ** The Partnership's weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2003 and 2002 were 6.33% and 6.42%, respectively. The weighted average interest rates were calculated using the Partnership's annualized interest expense for each loan (derived using the same percentage as that in (*) above) divided by the Partnership's share of total debt. *** Loan Terms PP=Prepayment penalties applicable to loan, I=Interest only, P&I=Principal and Interest On October 9, 2003 the Partnership refinanced its variable rate debt on the apartment investment located in Jacksonville, Florida to a fixed rate of 4.34%. The interest rate on the variable rate debt was previously adjusted annually. The rate was equal to the 6-month Treasury rate plus 1.565%. It was subject to a maximum of 11.345% and a minimum of 2.345%. On December 31, 2002, the interest rate on the variable rate debt was 3.235%. As of December 31, 2003, mortgage loans payable on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships are payable as follows: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, (000'S) ------------------------ ------- 2004....................................................... $ 719 2005....................................................... 774 2006....................................................... 8,479 2007....................................................... 588 2008....................................................... 26,091 Thereafter................................................. 7,284 ------- Total...................................................... $43,935 ======= F-19 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002, AND 2001 The mortgage loans payable are secured by real estate investments with an estimated market value of $93,875,000. As of December 31, 2003, principal amounts of mortgage loans payable on the equity partnership are payable as follows: 100% LOAN BALANCE PARTNERSHIP'S SHARE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, (000'S) (000'S) ------------------------ ----------------- ------------------ 2004................................ $ 268 $ 198 2005................................ 291 214 2006................................ 315 232 2007................................ 17,960 13,239 ------- ------- Total............................... $18,834 $13,883 ======= ======= Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at December 31, 2003 for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the Partnership's mortgages on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships have an estimated fair value of approximately $44.9 million and a carrying value of $43.6 million, which is net of deferred financing costs of $0.3 million. The Partnership's share of equity partnership debt has an estimated fair value of approximately $15.4 million and a carrying value of $13.9 million, which is net of deferred financing costs of $0. 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, 2003, the Partnership had real estate investments located throughout the United States. The diversification of the account's holdings based on the estimated market values and established NCREIF regions is as follows: ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE REGION (000'S) REGION % ------ ---------- -------- Southeast ............................... $ 78,879 37% Mideast ................................. 54,065 26% Pacific ................................. 35,984 17% East North Central ...................... 22,209 11% Mountain ................................ 10,508 5% West North Central ...................... $ 8,721 4% -------- Total ................................... $210,366 ======== 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: 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 2004 to 2023. At December 31, 2003, 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) ----------------------- ------- 2004...................................................... $10,344 2005...................................................... 9,626 2006...................................................... 8,716 2007...................................................... 8,142 2008...................................................... 7,155 Thereafter................................................ 18,120 ------- Total..................................................... $62,103 ======= F-20 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002, AND 2001 The above future minimum base rental payments exclude residential lease agreements, which accounted for 39.32% of the Partnership's 2003 annual rental income. NOTE 8: 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, 2003, the cost basis of Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment (held through the Real Property Accounts) was $44 million. Prudential did not make any contributions during the 2002 fiscal year and 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 Partnership. NOTE 9: 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, 2003, 2002 and 2001 management fees incurred by the Partnership were $2.5 million, $2.5 million, and $2.7 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, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $132,380; $132,380; and $118,972, respectively, and are classified as administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
