NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 1: General

The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Account”) was established on November 20, 1986 by resolution of the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential” or the “Company”), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”). The Account was established as a separate investment account pursuant to New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ the Securities Act”). The assets of the Account are segregated from Prudential’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Prudential. These products are Variable Appreciable Life (“PVAL and PVAL $100,000+ Face Value”), Discovery Plus (“PDISCO+”), and Variable Investment Plan (“VIP”).

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 variable annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the General Partners in the Partnership. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Partnership.

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

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

A. Basis of Accounting

The Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2013 and the statement of net assets as of December 31, 2012, which has been derived from Audited Financial Statements, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Account’s Audited Financial Statements included in the Account’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Account has transactions and relationships with Prudential and other affiliates. Due to these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among unrelated parties.

Use of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include valuation of Investments in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership.

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2012, the Account adopted, prospectively, updated guidance regarding the fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The updated guidance clarifies existing guidance related to the application of fair value measurement methods and requires expanded disclosures. The expanded disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 9. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Account’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements (continued)

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the Account’s interest in the General Partners Controlling Interest was 41.5% or 2,093,659 shares and 41.4% or 2,145,062 shares, respectively. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and their value is based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

C. Income Recognition

Net investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily for the investments in the Partnership. Amounts are based on the Account’s proportionate interest in the Partnership.

D. Equity of The Prudential Insurance Company of America

Prudential 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 and Expense Risk Charges

Mortality and expense risk charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 1.2%, 0.9%, 0.6% and 1.2% for PDISCO+, PVAL, PVAL $100,000 + Face Value and VIP, respectively (for PDISCO+, the 1.2% includes a 0.20% administrative charge). 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 Prudential. The mortality and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.

B. 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 PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + Face Value are (1) state premium taxes; (2) transaction costs 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 Prudential 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.

C. Deferred Sales Charge

A deferred sales charge, applicable to PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + Face Value, and not to exceed 50% of the first year’s primary annual premium for PVAL contracts, is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Prudential 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. No sales charge will be imposed after the tenth year of the contract. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits. Also a deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawals of certain purchase payments to compensate Prudential for sales and other marketing expenses for PDISCO+ and VIP. 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. As the amount of time that has elapsed since a given purchase payment made increases, the sales charge applicable to that purchase payment generally decreases. No sales charge is made against the withdrawal of investment income. No sales charge is imposed upon death benefit payments or upon transfers made between subaccounts. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 3: Charges and Expenses (continued)

D. Partial Withdrawal Charge

A charge is imposed by Prudential on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + Face Value. 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.

E. Annual Maintenance Charge

An annual maintenance charge, applicable to PDISCO+ and VIP, 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, including a withdrawal to effect an annuity. The charge is made by reducing accumulation units credited to a contract owner’s account.

Note 4: Taxes

Prudential 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, state, and local law, no federal, state or local 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 Contributions (Withdrawals) by Contract Owners

Net contract owner contributions (withdrawals) for the real estate investment option in Prudential’s variable insurance and variable annuity products for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY 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. The Account had no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

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. The Account had no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

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 Account’s Level 3 assets consist of the investment in the Partnership which 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. All the Account’s assets or liabilities were classified as Level 3.

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. Appraisals for the Account’s Level 3 assets generally utilize a discounted cash flow model.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

March 31, 2013

(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 or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 3 Assets by Hierarchy

The table below summarizes the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their respective position in the fair value hierarchy.

Quantitative Information Regarding Internally-Priced Level 3 Assets

The Account’s Level 3 assets consist of the investment in the Partnership which is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value, which approximates the Partnership’s net asset value. The fair value of properties owned by the Partnership is determined through an independent appraisal process. The appraisals generally utilize a discounted cash flow model. Quantitative information on significant internally priced Level 3 assets are discussed in Note 3 of the Partnership’s unaudited financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that are applicable to 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, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through May 10, 2013, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted – In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance regarding the fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The updated guidance clarifies existing guidance related to the application of fair value measurement methods and requires expanded disclosures. This new guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. Effective January 1, 2012, the Partnership adopted this updated guidance regarding the fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The expanded disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 3. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

Cash paid for interest during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, was $632,749, and $389,817 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 or 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. The real estate investments consisting of real estate and improvements, and preferred equity investments are therefore classified as Level 3.

Cash equivalents include short term investments. Short term investments are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1.

See below for a description of the levels of fair value hierarchy.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

March 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

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 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 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, 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Table 1 below summarizes the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and their respective position in the fair value hierarchy.

	$	221,403

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Cost:

The Partnership’s mortgages on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships have an estimated fair value of approximately $60.9 million, and a carrying value (amortized cost) of $59.9 million. The estimated fair value is based on the amount at which the Partnership would pay to transfer the debt at the reporting date taking into consideration the effect of nonperformance risk, including the Partnership’s own credit risk. The fair value of debt is determined using the discounted cash flow method, which applies certain key assumptions including the contractual terms of the contract, market interest rates, interest spreads, credit risk, liquidity and other factors. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect the estimated fair value. The input values used in determining the fair value on investment level debt are unobservable, therefore would be considered as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.

Note 4: Risk

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

Note 4: Risk (continued)

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, 2013 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, management anticipates that the repayment of these obligations will be provided by operating cash flow, new debt refinancing, and real estate investment sales.

Note 5: 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.

Note 6: Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to an investment management agreement, PIM charges the Partnership a daily investment management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily gross asset valuation of the Partnership. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, management fees incurred by the Partnership were $612,508 and $595,490, respectively.

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

All of the assets of the Real Property Account are invested in the Partnership. Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the Real Property 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 The Prudential Insurance Company of America, 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 Real Property Account and the Partnership and the related Notes included in this filing.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2013, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $20.0 million, an increase of approximately $1.2 million from $18.8 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the following activities: (a) net cash flow generated from property operations of $1.1 million; (b) $22.8 million of proceeds from the sale of the apartment building in Raleigh, North Carolina; (c) $12.4 million of loan proceeds associated with the apartment building acquisition in Seattle, Washington; and (d) net contributions from noncontrolling interest of $1.1 million. Partially offsetting this increase was (a) $20.9 million for an acquisition of a 91-unit apartment property located in Seattle, Washington; (b) $9.0 million loan payoff associated with the apartment sale in Raleigh, North Carolina; (c) $5.0 million distribution to the general partners’ controlling interest; (d) $0.2 million of principal payments made on financed properties; and (e) $1.1 million paid for capital improvements. The $1.1 million payment for capital improvements included the following items: (a) $0.7 million for tenant improvements at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland; and (b) $0.4 million for capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing expenses at various properties.

Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, capital redemptions, the loan on the new investment, and interest from cash equivalents. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 8.1% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Net investment income overview

The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $2.3 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 due to increases of $0.5 million in the office 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 attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by investment type.

Valuation overview

The Partnership recorded a net recognized gain attributable to the general partner’s controlling interest of $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared with $0.3 million of recognized gain for the prior year period. The net recognized gain attributable to the partner’s controlling interest was due to the sale of the apartment property in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Partnership recorded net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. This is compared with net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.0 million for the prior year. The net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 were primarily due to valuation decreases in each investment sector. The components of these valuation gains and losses are discussed below by investment type.

The following table presents a comparison of the Partnership’s sources of net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest and net recognized and unrealized gains or (losses) attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $1.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which represents an increase of approximately $0.5 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, 2013 was primarily due to a lease termination fee from a tenant at the property in Lisle, Illinois.

Unrealized gain/(loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared with net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 were primarily due to (a) valuation loss at property in Lisle, Illinois due to a lease termination; and (b) valuation loss at Brentwood, Tennessee property #2 due to a decrease in projected income as the tenant plans to vacate at the end of their lease term. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase at Brentwood, Tennessee property #1 due to more favorable market leasing assumptions.

⁽¹⁾ The Raleigh, North Carolina property was sold on February 25, 2013, which is reflected as a recognized gain.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which represents a decrease of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The decrease in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to the sale of the property in Raleigh, North Carolina. Partially offsetting the decrease were increases from the acquisition of two properties in Seattle, Washington.

Recognized and Unrealized gain/(loss)

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net recognized gain and unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared with net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.0 million for the prior year period. The net recognized gain and unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 were due to a recognized gain from the sale of the property in Raleigh, North Carolina and more favorable market leasing assumptions at Seattle, Washington property #1. Partially offsetting the unrealized gains were unrealized losses at the properties in Austin, Texas and Charlotte, North Carolina due to increased operating expenses and increased capital expenditures, respectively.

⁽¹⁾ On March 5, 2012, the Partnership received final payment on the CARS preferred equity position which is reflected as a recognized gain.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $1.0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which is relatively unchanged 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, 2013 was largely due to (a) decreased operating expenses at the property in Hampton, Virginia and (b) an increase due to the acquisition of the Roswell, Georgia property. Partially offsetting the increases was a decrease due to the payoff of the CARS Preferred Equity position.

Unrealized gain/(loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared with net recognized and unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.1 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 were primarily due to (a) less favorable market leasing assumptions for the property in Hampton, Virginia and increased operating expenses at the property in Westminster, Maryland. Partially offsetting the unrealized losses was an unrealized gain at the property in Ocean City, Maryland due to a reduction in required tenant improvements.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was approximately $0.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which is relatively unchanged from the prior year period.

Unrealized gain/(loss)

The Partnership’s hotel property recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, compared with a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.6 million for the prior year period. The unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in the average daily rate and occupancy to better reflect recent property performance and market conditions.

Other

Other net investment loss mainly includes investment management fees, other portfolio level expenses and interest income. Other net investment loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was approximately $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which remained relatively unchanged from the prior year.

(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 Real Property 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 Real Property Account and the Partnership that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

See Note 1B to the Partnership’s unaudited 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 for assuring 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 determine the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market. The real estate investments consisting of real estate, improvements, and preferred equity investments are therefore classified as Level 3.

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 of the Real Property Account and the Partnership 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 partners’ controlling interest exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 44.04% of its investment portfolio as of March 31, 2013, 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, cash equivalents and short term investments at March 31, 2013:

The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of March 31, 2013. The fair value of the Partnership’s long-term debt is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the debt.

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 Real Property 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 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), as amended under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of March 31, 2013 (“the Exchange Act”).

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 March 31, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
