There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company and the Real Property Account will be those anticipated by management. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, among others: (1) general economic, market and political conditions, including the performance and fluctuations of fixed income, equity, real estate and other financial markets; (2) interest rate fluctuations, including prolonged low interest rates; (3) reestimates of our reserves for future policy benefits and claims; (4) differences between actual experience regarding mortality, morbidity, persistency, surrender experience, interest rates, or market returns and the assumptions we use in pricing our products, establishing liabilities and reserves or for other purposes; (5) changes in our assumptions related to deferred policy acquisition costs and valuation of business acquired; (6) changes in our claims-paying or credit ratings; (7) investment losses and defaults; (8) competition in our product lines and for personnel; (9) changes in tax law; (10) regulatory or legislative changes, including the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (11) adverse determinations in litigation or regulatory matters and our exposure to contingent liabilities; (12) domestic or international military actions, natural or man-made disasters including terrorist activities or pandemic disease, or other events resulting in catastrophic loss of life; (13) ineffectiveness of risk management policies and procedures in identifying, monitoring and managing risks; (14) changes in statutory or “U.S. GAAP” accounting principles, practices or policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF                                

PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

September 30, 2010

(Unaudited)

Note 1: General

Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “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” or the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”) as a separate investment account pursuant to New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The assets of the Account are segregated from Pruco Life of New Jersey’s other assets. 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 Variable 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 unaudited interim financial statements of the Partnership.

The Partnership has a policy of investing at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

 

A.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The interim financial data as of September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, non controlling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Account adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations.

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance will change the accounting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified by the parent company as a component of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Upon adoption, the guidance requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests and prospective adoption for all other requirements. The adoption of this guidance has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB revised authoritative guidance for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This revision amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This revision also requires that the required annual disclosures for debt and equity securities be made for interim reporting periods. This revision does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This revision is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Account’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This guidance also amends the disclosure requirements in interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Account’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, if the acquisition date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period, the asset or liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date using the guidance in accounting for contingencies. This guidance also amends disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments requiring, for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, disclosures similar to those already required in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The Account adopted this guidance within the interim period ending June 30, 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification generally does not change the existing rules of U.S. GAAP but rather makes it easier to find and research U.S. GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics and aggregates them in four common accounting areas. Topics within each category are further broken down into subtopics, sections and paragraphs. Accounting standards that are included in the Codification will be considered authoritative whereas those that are not included will be deemed non-authoritative. As a result, there are two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and has impacted the way the Account references U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This guidance includes techniques for measuring fair value when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available and clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of its fair value. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In September 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share including certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. This guidance allows companies to determine the fair value of such investments using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient if the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable and the investee entity issues financial statements in accordance with measurement principles for investment companies. Use of this practical expedient is prohibited if it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. This guidance also requires new disclosures for each major category of alternative investments. It is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that clarifies existing guidance on accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership of a subsidiary that is a business. The updated guidance states that a decrease in ownership applies to a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, but does not apply to a sale of in-substance real estate even if it involves a business, such as an ownership interest in a partnership whose only asset is operating real estate. This guidance also affects accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business for an equity interest in another entity. The updated guidance also expands disclosures about fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. The updated guidance is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009, and is applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that the Account adopted the existing guidance, which was as of January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption of this updated guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires new fair value disclosures for significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 measurement categories and separate presentation of purchases, issuances, and settlements within the roll forward of Level 3 activity. Also, this updated fair value guidance clarifies the disclosure requirements about level of disaggregation and valuation techniques and inputs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of Level 3 activity, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Account adopted effective portions of this guidance on January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are provided in Note 9.

B.

Investment in Partnership Interest

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Account’s interest in the Partnership was 4.4% or 271,295 shares and 4.4% or 282,778 shares respectively. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s unaudited financial statements.

 

C.

Income Recognition

Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily for the Partnership. Amounts are based upon the 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 Account for liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions and expense processing. The position does not affect contract owners’ accounts or the related unit values.

Note 3:  Charges and Expenses

 

A.

Mortality Risk and Expense Risk Charges

Mortality risk and expense risk charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 0.6%, 0.35%, 0.9% and 0.9% for VAL, VLI, SPVA and SPVL, respectively. Mortality risk is the risk that life insurance contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and expense risk is the risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may exceed related charges by 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 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, which are deducted from each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are subject to charges on each basic premium for assuming a guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. This charge compensates Pruco Life of New Jersey for the risk that an insured may die at a time when the death benefit exceeds the benefit that would have been payable in the absence of a minimum guarantee. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

 

D.

Deferred Sales Charge

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 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. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

 

7


 

Also a deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawals of certain purchase payments to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for sales and other marketing expenses for SPVA and SPVL. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the amount withdrawn and the number of contract years that have elapsed since the contract owner or annuitant made the purchase payments deemed to be withdrawn. This 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. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

 

F.

Annual Maintenance Charge

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

Note 4:  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 Account form a part of PFI’s consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Account.

Note 9:  Fair Value Disclosure

FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value which approximates the Partnership’s net asset value. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value from property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s unaudited financial statements.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to determine the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; underlying assets in the Partnership are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. During the three and nine months ended September, 30, 2010, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

Note 1:    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  A.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that are applicable to real estate investment companies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through November 11, 2010, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

 

  B.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted- In December 2007, FASB revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, noncontrolling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations.

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance requires noncontrolling interests to be reported as a separate component of equity. It also changes the allocation of losses and accounting in step acquisitions. The provisions in this revision should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are required retrospectively for all periods presented. After the initial adoption, any retained noncontrolling equity investment as a result of a deconsolidation must be measured at fair value at the date of the deconsolidation. This guidance is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Pursuant to the Partnership’s adoption on January 1, 2009 of the revised guidance, the Partnership is presenting its noncontrolling interests as equity for all periods presented in the financial statements. Noncontrolling interests, previously reported as a liability, are now required to be reported as a separate component of equity on the balance sheet. In addition, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest, which was previously reported as an expense and reflected within Net Investment Income is now reported as a separate amount below “Increase (decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations”.

In April 2009, the FASB revised authoritative guidance for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This revision amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This revision also requires that the required annual disclosures for debt and equity securities be made for interim reporting periods. This revision does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This revision is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This guidance also amends the disclosure requirements in interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, if the acquisition date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period, the asset or liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date using the guidance in accounting for contingencies.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

 

Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

B.  Accounting Pronouncements Adopted (continued)

This guidance also amends disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments requiring, for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, disclosures similar to those already required in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events. Subsequent events are events that occur after balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance addresses the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events not addressed in other applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance, effective with the interim period ending June 30, 2009, did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated is provided in Note 1A.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification is not intended to change U.S. GAAP but is a new structure which organizes accounting pronouncements by accounting topic. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance, effective with the interim reporting period ending September 30, 2009, impacts the way the Partnership references U.S. GAAP standards in the financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share including certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. This guidance allows companies to determine the fair value of such investments using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient if the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable and the investee entity issues financial statements in accordance with measurement principles for investment companies. Use of this practical expedient is prohibited if it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. This guidance also requires new disclosures for each major category of alternative investments. It is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that clarifies existing guidance on accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership of a subsidiary that is a business. The updated guidance states that a decrease in ownership applies to a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, but does not apply to a sale of in-substance real estate even if it involves a business, such as an ownership interest in a partnership whose only asset is operating real estate. This guidance also affects accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business for an equity interest in another entity. The updated guidance also expands disclosures about fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. The updated guidance is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009, and is applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that the Partnership adopted the existing guidance, which was as of January 1, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this updated guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009

 

Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

  B.  Accounting Pronouncements Adopted (continued)

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that requires new fair value disclosures about significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 measurement categories and separate presentation of purchases, issuances, and settlements within the roll forward of Level 3 activity. Also, this updated fair value guidance clarifies the disclosure requirements about level of disaggregation and valuation techniques and inputs. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of Level 3 activity, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Partnership adopted effective portions of this guidance on January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are provided in Note 3.

Note 2:  Disclosure of Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity

Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, was $718,440, and $1,313,693 respectively.

Note 3:  Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Methods:

Real estate investments are carried at fair value. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition.

In general fair value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”), is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to come up with the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

Note 3:  Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Fair Value Measurements:

FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. This guidance provides a three-level hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation process. The level in the fair values hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows;

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the entity for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

For items classified as Level 3, a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, as shown in table 2 below, is also required.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Note 4:  Investment Level Debt

Investment level debt includes mortgage loans payable on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships and is stated at the principal amount of the obligations outstanding. At times the Partnership may assume debt in connection with the purchase of real estate. 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.

Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at September 30, 2010 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 $31 million, and a carrying value of $31 million. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect estimated fair value.

Note 5:  Risk

  A.  Valuation Risk

Recent disruptions in the global capital, credit and real estate markets have led to, among other things, decline in the volume of transaction activity, in the fair value of many real estate and real estate related investments, and a contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. The decline in liquidity and prices of real estate and real estate related investments, as well as the availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may have made it more difficult to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, these estimated fair values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. These differences could be material to the financial statements. Although the estimated fair values represent subjective estimates, management believes that these estimated fair values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate are fairly presented as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

  B.  Financing, Covenant, and Repayment Risks

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into loan agreements with certain lenders to finance its real estate investment transactions. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase related borrowing costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Partnership. There is no guarantee that the Partnership’s borrowing arrangements or ability to obtain leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Partnership. Further, these loan agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and various covenants and representations. In the normal course of business, the Partnership may be in the process of renegotiating terms for loans outstanding that have passed their maturity dates. At September 30, 2010 the Partnership had no outstanding matured loans.

A decline in market value of the Partnership’s assets may also have particular adverse consequences in instances where the Partnership borrowed money based on the fair value of specific assets. A decrease in market value of these assets may result in the lender requiring the Partnership to post additional collateral or otherwise repay these loans.

In the event the Partnership’s current portfolio and investment obligations are not refinanced or extended when they become due and/or the Partnership is required to repay such borrowings and obligations, management anticipates that the repayment of these obligations will be provided by operating cash flow, new debt refinancing, and real estate investment sales.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All of the assets of the Real Property Account, or the “Account”, are invested in the Partnership. Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the Account are contingent upon those of the Partnership. Therefore, this management’s discussion and analysis addresses these items at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, or collectively, the “Partners”.

The following discussion and analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership and the related Notes included in this filing.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2010, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $37.9 million, an increase of approximately $13.4 million from $24.5 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the sale of an apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia. Partially offsetting this increase is the funding of capital expenditures to existing properties and a $7.5 million distribution to the Partners. Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, sales proceeds, and interest from short-term investments. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 18.2% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

The Partnership disposed of an apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The property sold for net proceeds of approximately $17.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership made distributions to its Partners totaling $7.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership attained sole ownership of the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina as the operating partner was removed from the venture.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Partnership spent approximately $2.0 million and accrued approximately $0.4 million on capital improvements to various existing properties. Approximately $1.4 million was associated with tenant improvements and capital upgrades at the office property in Brentwood, Tennessee; approximately $0.4 million contributed to tenant improvements and exterior upgrades at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland; and approximately $0.2 million funded interior upgrades at the office property in Beaverton, Oregon. Finally, $0.4 million was associated with minor capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing expenses of various other properties.

On October 28, 2010, the Partnership distributed $10.0 million to its Partners as a result of the successful sale of the property in Atlanta, Georgia.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Net Investment Income Overview

The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $6.1 million, an increase of approximately $0.9 million from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was primarily attributable to a $0.6 million increase in the apartment sector investments’ net investment income from the prior year period. Additionally the hotel and retail sector investments’ net investment incomes increased approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million respectively, from the prior year period, while other net investment loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest decreased approximately $0.3 million over the same period. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in the office sectors investments’ net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.5 million from the prior year period. The components of this net investment income and/or loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by investment type.

The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $2.1 million, an increase of approximately $0.4 million from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was primarily attributable to the $0.2 million increase in the apartment sector investments’ net investment income, as well as the $0.1 million increases in the retail, and hotel sector investments’ net investment incomes from the prior year period, respectively. The components of this net investment income and/or loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by investment type.

Valuation Overview

The Partnership recorded net recognized and unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $5.3 million and $4.9 million for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively. This is compared with net recognized and unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $45.0 million and $9.6 million for the prior year periods, respectively. The net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 were due to valuation increases in the apartment and retail sectors’ investments. The components of these valuation changes are discussed below by investment type. The components of these valuation gains and/or losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by property type.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million from the prior year period. The decrease for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was primarily caused by (a) decreased rental income at one of the properties in Brentwood, Tennessee due to free rent given to the building’s largest tenant as part of a renewal of the tenant’s lease; and (b) decreased rental income at the property in Beaverton, Oregon caused by free rent given to a new full-floor tenant. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in rental income at the property in Lisle, Illinois due to the completion of the free rent period for one of the building’s larger tenants.

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s office properties were relatively unchanged for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared with the prior year period.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $15.0 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partner’s controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a $1.7 million valuation decline at the property in Beaverton, Oregon based on decreased market and contract rent because of a new full-floor tenant paying a lower rent than the previous tenant.

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.5 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partner’s controlling interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to decreased market leasing assumptions at the properties in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.6 million from the prior year period. Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $0.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.2 million from the prior year period. The increases in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2010 were primarily due to the write-off of accrued receivables at the property in Raleigh, North Carolina in the prior year period and decreased concessions and average vacancy at the property in Atlanta, Georgia caused by increased demand.

Recognized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net recognized and unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $10.2 million for the prior year period. The net recognized and unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due (a) to a recognized gain at the property in Atlanta, Georgia due to the sale of property; and (b) a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest at the property in Austin, Texas due to decreased investment rates and more favorable market leasing assumptions. Investment rates include direct and terminal capitalization rates, and discount rates, which reflect investors’ yield requirements on investments.

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a recognized and net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.6 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was due (a) to a valuation increase at each apartment property due to decreased investment rates and more favorable market leasing assumptions: and (b) a recognized gain from the sale of the property in Atlanta, Georgia.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.3 million from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was largely due to the reconciliation of a loss previously misallocated to the partner at the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina during the prior year period. This increase was partially offset by the loss of income related to the disposition of the Roswell, Georgia retail property in the prior year period.

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was largely attributable to (a) an increase in income at the property in Westminster, Maryland due to the refusal of a tenant to pay rent in the prior year period; and (b) a loss of income during the prior year period at the property in Roswell, Georgia due to post-closing costs as a result of its sale.

Recognized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net recognized and unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $16.6 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a valuation gain of approximately $2.4 million in the Capital Automotive Real Estate Services, or “CARS”, preferred equity investment due to a reduction in the expected remaining term of the investment, effectively increasing the probability of repayment. This gain was partially offset by a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.7 million at the property in Hampton, Virginia caused by the near-term potential of large tenants vacating and decreasing market rents.

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared with a net recognized and unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $4.7 million for the prior year period. The net

unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to (a) valuation gains of $0.6 million and $0.9 million at the properties in Hampton, Virginia and Westminster, Maryland, respectively, as a result of the early renewal of large tenants initially expected to vacate and (b) a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.5 million in the Capital Automotive Real Estate Services, or “CARS”, preferred equity investment due to a reduction in the expected remaining term of the investment, effectively increasing the probability of repayment.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The increases in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 were largely due to improved cost savings in operations and increased average daily room rate and occupancy as a result of the strengthening hospitality market driven by increased business and vacation travel.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The Partnership’s hotel property’s unrealized returns attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest were relatively unchanged for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2010, compared with unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.2 million and $0.8 million for the prior year periods, respectively.

Other

Other net investment loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest decreased approximately $0.3 million over the prior year period for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. Other net investment loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest remained relatively unchanged for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 over the prior year period. Other net investment includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses.

(c) Inflation

A majority of the Partnership’s leases with its commercial tenants provide for recoveries of expenses based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which may partially reduce the Partnership’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “U.S. GAAP”, requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Management reviews critical estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. If management determines, as a result of its consideration of facts and circumstances, that modifications in assumptions and estimates are appropriate, results of operations and financial position as reported in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership may change significantly.

The following sections discuss those critical accounting policies applied in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

See Note 1B to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements.

Valuation of Investments

Real Estate Investments - Real estate investments are carried at fair value. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition.

In general fair value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”), is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to come up with the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

Other Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk – The general partner’s controlling interest exposure to market rate risk as of September 30, 2010, consists primarily of short-term commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. As a matter of policy, the Partnership places its investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to maturity except under unusual circumstances.

The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the Partnership’s cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30, 2010:

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from tenants. While the Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of significant increases in interest rates and/or an economic downturn, delinquencies could increase and result in losses to the Partnership and the Account that could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

In order to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2010. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(e), occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
