NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

Note 1:   General

Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Account”) was established on August 27, 1986 and commenced business September 5, 1986. Pursuant to Arizona law, the Account was established as a separate investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life” 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”) and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The assets of the Account are segregated from Pruco Life’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Pruco Life. These products are Appreciable Life (“VAL”), Variable Life (“VLI”), Discovery Plus (“SPVA”), and Discovery Life Plus (“SPVL”).

The assets of the 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 Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the sole investors in the Partnership. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 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 March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 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 period.

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 new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the 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 Account adopted the guidance effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 on January 1, 2010. The Account adopted the guidance effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 on January 1, 2011. 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Account’s interest in the General Partners’ Controlling Interest was 54.7% or 3,178,326 shares. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

March 31, 2011

(Unaudited)

 

C.

Income Recognition

Net investment income, 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

Pruco Life maintains a position in the Account for property liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not have an effect on the 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. 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 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 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 the surrender of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco Life for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued but will not exceed 45% of one scheduled annual premium for VAL contracts and 9% of the initial premium payment for SPVL. No sales charge will be imposed after the sixth and tenth year of the contract for SPVL and VAL, respectively. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units. For SPVA, there is a deferred sales charge that applies at the time of a full or partial withdrawal, and the amount of the charge (which declines over time) depends on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued.

E.

Partial Withdrawal Charge

A charge is imposed by Pruco Life on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for VAL. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a contract. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

Note 4:   Taxes

Pruco Life is taxed as a “life insurance company”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The results of operations of the Account form a part of PFI’s consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements.

Note 5:   Net Withdrawals by Contract Owners

Net contract owner withdrawals for the real estate investment option in Pruco Life’s variable insurance and variable annuity products for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010 were as follows:

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 fair value is based on estimates 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 one most heavily relied upon is the one then recognized as the most appropriate by the independent appraiser for the type of real estate in the market.

(Unaudited)

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; the underlying investments in the Partnership are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The inputs methodology used for valuing assets are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

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 three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through May 11, 2011, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

 

  B.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted - 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 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Partnership adopted the guidance effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 on January 1, 2010.

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. Key inputs and assumptions include rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates. 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.

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 levels in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements 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 months ended March 31, 2011 and 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 March 31, 2011 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 $30 million, and a carrying value (cost) of $30 million. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect estimated fair value.

 

Note 5: Risk

 

  A.

Valuation Risk

The estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is generally determined through an appraisal process. 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

 

  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 March 31, 2011 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.

 

Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies

The Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. In the opinion of Partnership’s management, the outcome of such matters will not have a significant effect on the financial position of the Partnership.

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 general 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 March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $35.9 million, an increase of approximately $7.0 million from $28.9 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the partial capital redemption of $5.9 million from the Capital Automotive Real Estate Services (or “CARS”) preferred equity investment. Partially offsetting this increase is the funding of capital expenditures to existing properties. Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, capital redemptions, 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 March 31, 2011, approximately 17.1% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership extended the maturity of the $15.3 million loan at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland from April 1, 2011 to June 1, 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership spent approximately $0.2 million on capital improvements. The $0.2 million funded minor capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing expenses at various properties.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Net Investment Income Overview

The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $2.1 million, 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 was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in the retail sector investments’ net investment income from the prior year period. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest from the apartment sector. 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 unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $5.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. This is compared with net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.9 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 were due to valuation increases in all property sector investments. 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 $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which is relatively unchanged from the prior year period.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.1 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gain attributable to the general partner’s controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to a $1.0 million valuation gain at one of the properties in Brentwood, Tennessee based on lower investment rates and increased revenue due to higher occupancy. Investment rates include direct and terminal capitalization rates, and discount rates, which reflect investors’ yield requirements on investments.

The decrease was primarily due to lost revenue as a result of the disposition of the property in Atlanta, Georgia on September 29, 2010.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.1 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was due to valuation increases at each existing property as a result of decreased investment rates and more favorable market leasing assumptions.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, 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 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was largely due to (a) the reconciliation of the interest rate at the CARS preferred equity investment resulting in a $0.2 million true up; and (b) post-closing income from the sale of the property in Roswell, Georgia related to a tax reconciliation.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.6 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to (a) an increased valuation of the CARS preferred equity investment based on a reduction in the expected remaining term of the investment, resulting in an increased present value of principal repayment, as well as decreased risk and applied market investment rate; and (b) increased valuations of the properties in Hampton, Virginia; Ocean City, Maryland; and Westminster, Maryland, generally due to improved market leasing conditions and decreased investment rates.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was under $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which is relatively unchanged from the prior year period.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The Partnership’s hotel property recorded a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared with a slight loss the prior year period. The unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to a valuation gain caused by an increase in projected occupancy, revenue per available room, and average daily rate at the property reflecting improvements in the overall hotel market.

Other

Other net investment loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was approximately $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, which remained relatively unchanged from the prior year period. Other net investment includes interest income from short-term investments and expenses including 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. Key inputs and assumptions include rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates. 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 for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 38.37% of its investment portfolio as of March 31, 2011, which 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 March 31, 2011:

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, tenant delinquencies could increase and result in losses to the Partnership, and the Account’s operating results and liquidity could be adversely affected.

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 March 31, 2011.
