NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: GENERAL
Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property Account")
was established on August 27, 1986 and commenced business September 5, 1986.
Pursuant to Arizona law, the Real Property Account was established as a separate
investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("Prudential"). The assets of the Real Property Account are segregated from
Pruco Life's other assets. The Real Property Account is used to fund benefits
under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by
Pruco Life. These products are Variable Appreciable Life Insurance ("VAL"),
Variable Life Insurance ("VLI"), Discovery Life ("SPVA"), and Discovery Life
Plus ("SPVL").
The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable
Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). The Partnership is
organized under New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the
real property option under certain variable life insurance and annuity
contracts. The Real Property 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.
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: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Real Property Account
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the other information and disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1997 included in the Real Property Account's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for that year.
The accompanying financial statements have not been audited by independent
accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in
the opinion of management such financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to summarize fairly
the Real Property Account's financial position and results of operations.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
B. INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
The investment in the Partnership is based on the Real Property Account's
proportionate interest of the Partnership's market value. At March 31, 1998 the
Real Property Account's interest in the Partnership was 49.9% or 5,909,534
shares.

The aggregate cost of investments in the Account was $63,772,990.

Mortality risk and expense 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 that life insurance contract owners may not
live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and
expense risk is that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may
exceed the estimated expenses. Of the $132,389 of charges to contract owners,
$127,057 represented mortality risk and expense risk charges.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
MARCH 31, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
A: The financial statements included herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to
the financial statements and notes thereto included in each Partner's
December 31, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10K.
B: Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash
flows, all short-term investments with a maximum maturity of three
months and investments in money market funds with a maximum weighted
average maturity of three months are considered to be cash
equivalents.
Note 2: Commitment From Partner
On January 9, 1990, Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable
the Partnership to take advantage of opportunities to acquire attractive real
property investments whose cost is greater than the Partnership's then available
cash. Contributions to the Partnership under this commitment are utilized for
property acquisitions and returned to Prudential on an ongoing basis from
Contract owners' net contributions. Also, the amount of the commitment is
reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in estimated market value net
assets of the Partnership. The amount available under this commitment for
property purchases as of March 31, 1998 is approximately $46 million.
Note 3: Related Party Transactions
Pursuant to an investment management agreement, Prudential 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 months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 management fees incurred by the Partnership were
$683,479 and $625,218 respectively.
The Partnership also reimburses Prudential for certain administrative services
rendered by Prudential. The amounts incurred for the three months ended March
31, 1998, and 1997 were $29,032 and $28,970, respectively, and are classified as
administrative expenses in the statements of operations.
The Partnership owned a 50% interest in four warehouse/distribution buildings in
Jacksonville, Florida (the Unit warehouses). The remaining 50% interest was
owned by Prudential and one of its subsidiaries. In September 1997, the Unit
warehouses were sold as part of an industrial package for cash of $12,544,659.
The partnership's share of the proceeds was $6,272,329.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
MARCH 31, 1998

The Partnership had contracted with PREMISYS Real Estate Services, Inc.
(PREMISYS), an affiliate of Prudential, to provide property management services
at the Unit warehouses. Prudential sold this affiliate in 1997. The property
management fee earned by PREMISYS, incurred by the Partnership and Prudential
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was $9,141.
Note 4: Accrued Investment Income and Other Assets
Cash equivalents are carried at market value. Cash of $120,676 and $128,089
at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, was maintained by the
properties for tenant security deposits and is included in accrued Investment
Income and Other Assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
All of the assets of Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account ("the
Account") are invested in the Prudential Variable Contract Real Property
Partnership ("the Partnership"). Correspondingly, the liquidity, capital
resources and results of operations for the Real Property Account are contingent
upon the Partnership. Therefore, all of management's discussion of these items
is at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are The Prudential
Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life
Insurance Company of New Jersey (collectively, "the Partners").
(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities (excluding the Partnership's shares in
Meridian Industrial Trust REIT) were $28.7 million; an increase of $1.8 million
from $26.9 million as of December 31, 1997. This increase is due primarily to
cash received from the operations of the Partnership's properties and interest
income received from short term investments.
Prudential has committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the Partnership to
acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership under this
commitment are utilized for property acquisitions and returned to Prudential on
an ongoing basis from Contract owners' net contributions. The amount of the
commitment is reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in current value net
assets of the Partnership. The amount available for future investment is
approximately $45.9 million as of March 31, 1998.
The Partnership generally invests 10-15% of its assets in cash and short-term
obligations to maintain liquidity; however its investment policy allows up to
30% investments in cash and short term obligations. At March 31, 1998, 12.67%
of the Partnership's assets consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities (excluding the REIT shares).
Withdrawals from cash may be made during the remainder of 1998 based upon the
needs of the Partnership including potential property acquisitions and
dispositions and capital expenditures. As of March 31, 1998, and currently, the
Partnership has adequate liquidity.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, capital expenditures were approximately
$1.9 million of which $1.4 million were for tenant alterations and leasing
commissions. The majority of capital expenditures were at the Warrenville, IL
office building, and the Aurora, CO industrial center which accounted for $1.5
million, and $0.2 million respectively.
(b.1) Results of Operations - Portfolio
The following is a brief comparison of the Partnership's results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
The Partnership's net investment income for the first three months of 1998 was
$3.4 million, a decrease of $0.5 million (12%) from $3.9 million for the
corresponding period of 1997. This was due largely to the loss of income of
approximately $0.5 million from the Lisle, IL office building, which was
substantially vacant for the first quarter of 1998.
The Partnership's income unrelated to specific properties for the period ended
March 31, 1998 resulted in a decrease of $0.4 million of income compared to the
corresponding period in 1997. Components of unrelated property activity were
$0.3 million in interest income from short-term investments, offset by $0.7
million in investment management fees.
17
<PAGE>
During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership
experienced an unrealized loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized gain of $0.4
million, respectively on its real estate investments. For the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, the net unrealized loss was the result of market value decreases
in 6 properties held, totaling $0.7 million and the decrease in the value of
Meridian REIT shares of $0.7 million, offset by an increase in market value in 3
properties held, totaling $1.3 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
the net unrealized gain was the result of market value decreases in 6 properties
held, totaling $0.4 million, offset by an increase in market value in 4
properties held, totaling $0.8 million. The explanation for these changes are
detailed in the following paragraphs.
(b.2) Results of Operations - Property
The following is a brief comparison of the Partnership's property results of
operations and realized loss and net unrealized gains, by investment type, for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
OFFICE PROPERTIES
Income from property operations for the office buildings for the first three
months of 1998 increased 3.6%, over the corresponding period in 1997.
The office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized gain
of $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the first three months of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Office appreciation for 1998 can be explained as follows: the
office in Morristown, NJ had the largest unrealized gain of $0.6 million due to
the increase in market rents within the property's submarket. The Oakbrook, IL
building also had an increase of $0.2 million due to rent steps in each lease
which increase cash flow, and the Beaverton, Oregon building increased $0.5
million primarily due to an increase in market rent and lower estimated tenant
improvement costs. These unrealized gains were offset primarily by the Lisle,
IL building which decreased $0.5 million, due to capital expenditures completed
in the building, and the two buildings in Tennessee which in total decreased
$0.1 million.
APARTMENT COMPLEXES
Income from property operations from the apartment complexes for the first three
months of 1998 was $1.0 million, an increase of 9.8%, from $0.9 million for the
corresponding period in 1997. The Farmington Hill, MI, apartment complex had an
increase in net investment income of $0.1 million, while the other two apartment
complexes had immaterial income effects.
RETAIL PROPERTY
Net investment income for the Partnership's retail property for the first three
months of 1998 was $0.8 million, which remained unchanged from $0.8 million for
the corresponding period in 1997. The center was 98% occupied during the first
quarter of 1998, while it achieved a 96% rate in the prior year.
The retail center experienced an immaterial unrealized loss in both the first
three months of 1998 and 1997. There were no significant changes in occupancy,
market, or leasing activity at the center.
18
<PAGE>
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS
The Partnership holds 506,894 shares of Meridian Industrial Trust. Meridian is
a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust (REIT)
engaged in owning, operating and leasing high quality, modern industrial
properties nationwide. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, these shares
experienced an unrealized loss of $0.7 million as a result of the general
decline in the market value of REIT stocks.
