ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real
Property Account"), the Registrant, was established on October 30, 1987 by Pruco
Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"), as a separate
investment account, pursuant to New Jersey law. The Real Property Account was
established to provide a real estate investment option offered in connection
with the funding of benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable
annuity contracts (the "Contracts") issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey.
The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable
Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). The Partnership, a
general partnership organized under New Jersey law on April 29, 1988, was formed
through agreement among The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life
Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, to provide a
means for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain
variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by the respective
companies to be invested in a commingled pool.
The Partnership has an investment policy of investing at least 65% of its assets
in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating
mortgage loans. The largest portion of these real estate investments are direct
ownership interests in income-producing real estate, such as office buildings,
agricultural land, shopping centers, hotels, apartments, or industrial
properties. Approximately 10% of the Partnership's assets are generally held in
cash or invested in liquid instruments and securities, although the Partners
reserve discretion to increase this amount to meet partnership liquidity
requirements. The remainder of the Partnership's assets are invested in other
types of real estate-related investments, including conventional, non
participating mortgage loans or real estate investment trusts.
Office Properties - The Partnership owns office properties in Lisle and
Oakbrook Terrace, IL; Morristown, NJ; Nashville and Brentwood, TN; and
Beaverton, OR. Total square footage owned is approximately 567,000 of
which 97% or 549,000 square feet are leased between 1 and 10 years.
Apartment Complexes - The Partnership owns apartment complexes in
Atlanta, GA and Raleigh, NC. There are a total of 490 apartment units
available of which 95% or 463 units are leased. Lease agreements range
from month to month to one year.
Retail Property - The Partnership owns a shopping center in Roswell,
GA. The property is located approximately 22 miles north of downtown
Atlanta on a 30 acre site. The square footage is approximately
297,000 of which 98% or 289,000 square feet is leased between 1 and 11
years.
Industrial Properties - The Partnership owns warehouses and distri-
bution centers in Bolingbrook, IL; Aurora, CO; and Salt Lake City, UT.
Total square footage owned is approximately 685,000 of which 60% or
413,719 square feet are leased between 2 and 6 years.
Investment in Real Estate Trust - The Partnership owns 506,894 shares
of Meridian Industrial Trust, Inc. 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.
The Partnership's investments are maintained so as to meet the diversification
requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 817(h)
of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the investments of variable life
insurance and variable annuity separate accounts. Section 817(h), requires
among other things that the partnership will have no more than 55% of the assets
invested in any one investment, no more than 70% of the assets will be invested
in any two investments, no more than 80% of the assets will be invested in any
three investments, and no more than 90% of the assets will be invested in any
four investments. To comply with requirements of the State of Arizona, the
Partnership will limit additional investments in any one parcel or related
parcels to an amount not exceeding 10% of the Partnership gross assets as of
the prior fiscal year.
For information regarding the Partnership's investments, operations, and other
significant events, see Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 8, Financial Statements

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
All of the assets of Pruco Life of New Jersey 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").
The following analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of
operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and the accompanying footnotes and other financial
information included elsewhere herein.
(a) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities were $73.5 million, an increase of
$46.7 million from December 31, 1997. This increase was due to net proceeds from
the sales of the Partnership's industrial property located in Pomona, CA and an
apartment complex located in Farmington Hills, MI. In addition, continuing
operations from the Partnership's investment properties contributed $20.6
million to cash during 1998. Sources of liquidity include net cash flow from
property operations, interest from short-term investments, and dividends from
REIT shares.
The Partnership generally holds approximately 10% of its assets in cash or
invested in liquid instruments and securities, however, its investment policy
allows up to 30% investment in cash and short-term obligations. At December 31,
1998, 30% of the Partnership's assets consisted of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities.
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 and other available
cash. The amount of the commitment is reduced by $10 million for every $100
million in current value net assets of the Partnership. As of December 31, 1998,
Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment was $51
million. At the present time, Prudential does not intend to make further
contributions during the 1999 fiscal year.
The Partners made no withdrawals during 1998; however, on February 1, 1999, the
Partners made a $30 million withdrawal from excess cash. Additional withdrawals
may be made by the Partners during 1999 based upon the percentage of assets
invested in short-term obligations, and taking into consideration anticipated
cash needs of the Partnership including potential property acquisitions,
property dispositions and capital expenditures. Management anticipates that its
current liquid assets and ongoing cash flow from operations will satisfy the
Partnership's needs over the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
During 1998, the Partnership spent $5.7 million in capital expenditures for
tenant alterations, and improvements in land and buildings. The majority of the
capital expenditures were made to reconfigure the Lisle, IL office building for
multi-tenant capability as it was previously occupied by a single tenant.

------------------ -----------------
</TABLE>
The Partnership's net investment income for 1998 was $15.8 million, an increase
of $2.0 million from the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of
increased revenues from real estate and improvements partially offset by
increased operating expenses.
7
<PAGE>
Revenue from real estate and improvements was $24.6 million in 1998, an increase
of $3.0 million, or 13.9%, from 1997. This increase was primarily due to higher
occupancy at the Lisle, IL office building and the Aurora, CO distribution
center coupled with increased rental rates on other properties.
Interest on short-term investments decreased $0.4 million from 1997. This was
primarily due to lower average cash and cash equivalent balances during 1998
compared to the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents through the third
quarter of 1998 averaged approximately $30.0 million, but increased
significantly in the last quarter of 1998 due to the sale of two properties
in Pomona, CA and Farmington Hills, MI.
Property operating expenses increased $0.8 million, or 23.5%, from 1997. This
increase was due primarily to a full year's operating costs (i.e. electricity,
repair and maintenance, water, etc.) for one of the Brentwood, TN properties
which was acquired in late 1997, in addition to operating expenses incurred by
the Partnership on vacant properties.
Administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million or 16.1%. This decrease was due
primarily to a reduction in legal expenses.
There was no interest expense during 1998 due to the Partnership's exercise of
its purchase option under the capital lease obligation.
OFFICE PROPERTIES
In 1998, net investment income from property operations for the office
properties increased $1.8 million, or 32.2%, from prior year. This increase was
primarily due to a full year's net investment income for one of the Brentwood,
TN properties which was acquired in late 1997, as well as the leasing of vacant
space in the Lisle, IL office property.
Office properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $3.0 million in 1998 due
to improving office market conditions in most of the geographical areas where
the Partnership has office properties, particularly, the Oakbrook Terrace, IL
office property in suburban Chicago.
Occupancy at the Beaverton, OR; Oakbrook Terrace, IL; and Brentwood, TN
properties remained at 100% as of December 31, 1997 while occupancy at the
Lisle, IL office property increased from 37% to 96% at December 31, 1998.
Occupancy at the Morristown, NJ property decreased from 99% to 86%.
APARTMENT COMPLEXES
Net investment income from property operations for the apartment complexes
increased $0.6 million, or 15.5%, from 1997. The majority of this increase was
due to increased rental rates at the Atlanta, GA apartment complex.
Holdings in the Partnership's two apartment complexes experienced a net
unrealized gain of $0.6 million during 1998. The Atlanta, GA property was the
largest contributor to the gain as it appreciated $0.4 million. The gain was
attributable to increased rental rates at the property. The Raleigh, NC property
experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.2 million due to increased occupancy
rates. The Farmington Hills, MI property was sold on October 7, 1998 for a price
of $16.9 million, which resulted in a realized gain of $1.7 million.
At the end of December 31, 1998, occupancy at the Atlanta, GA and Raleigh, NC
apartment complex was 96% and 93%, respectively.
RETAIL PROPERTIES
In 1998, the retail center experienced a net unrealized loss of $1.3 million,
which is a reflection of lower rents. Occupancy at the shopping center was 98%
at December 31, 1998, which was an increase of 2% from the prior year.
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties
decreased $0.8 million, or 38.0%, from 1997. The decrease was attributable to
the sale of Pomona Industrial Park, which accounted for 82% of the decrease.
8
<PAGE>
The three industrial properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.3
million during 1998. The Pomona, CA property was sold on December 17, 1998 for
$21.4 million, which resulted in a realized gain of $1.2 million.
Occupancy at the Bolingbrook, IL property remained unchanged at 100%. Occupancy
at the Salt Lake City, UT and Aurora, CO property increased to 33.6% and 46%,
respectively from prior year.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
On September 24, 1997 the Partnership acquired 506,894 shares of Meridian
Industrial REIT. Dividend income from the REIT increased $0.5 million from 1997.
The Partnership held 506,894 shares of Meridian Industrial REIT throughout 1998.
As of December 31, 1998, the REIT shares experienced an unrealized loss of $1.0
million. The Valuation Unit of Prudential applies a 3% discount to the market
value of the REIT shares. This discount is applied because of the restriction
which limits the number of shares that can be publicly traded during any six
month period to 30% of the total shares originally acquired.
OTHER
Other net investment loss, which includes interest income from short-term
investments, investment management fees, and expenses not related to property
activities, narrowed by $0.5 million. The improved result was due to increased
investment management fee in addition to a reduction in administrative expenses.

</TABLE>
The Partnership's net investment income for 1997 was $13.8 million, a decrease
of $1.6 million from 1996. This decrease was primarily the result of market
conditions in the industrial properties.
Income from interest in properties relates to the Partnership's 50%
co-investment in several warehouse properties (the unit warehouses). Income from
this source was $0.4 million in 1997, a decrease of 28.2% from 1996. This
decrease was attributable to the sale of the Partnership's interest in these
properties on September 30, 1997.
Administrative expenses on the Statement of Operations include both those
related to property operations and the administration of the Partnership.
Property administrative expenses in 1997 were $2.0 million, an increase of $0.4
million, or 21.5%, from 1996. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition
of three new properties as well as a full year of administrative expenses for a
property acquired at the end of 1996. Administrative expenses related to the
Partnership were $0.3 million in 1997, an increase of $0.1 million, or 49.7%,
from 1996. Increased legal reserves relating to potential litigation contributed
to the majority of the variance.
Property operating expenses for 1997 were $3.3 million, an increase of $0.4
million, or 13.5%, from 1996. This increase was primarily due to a full year of
ownership in 1997 of the office property in Beaverton, OR, and expenses incurred
in 1997 for new acquisitions, such as, the industrial buildings in Salt Lake
City, UT and Aurora, CO. Together these three properties contributed $0.3
million to the increased operating expenses. The acquisition of the office
building in Brentwood, TN contributed $0.1 million to the increase.
OFFICE PROPERTIES
Net investment income from property operations for the office properties
in 1997 was $5.5 million. This was a decrease of $0.3 million or 5.5% from
1996.
The office properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $1.9 million in 1997.
The office property in Oakbrook Terrace, IL experienced the largest unrealized
gain that was attributable to the improving office market conditions in suburban
Chicago. In addition, the Morristown, NJ and Brentwood, TN office properties
also experienced net unrealized gains of $0.5 million and $0.6 million,
respectively.
The Partnership acquired a second office property in Brentwood, TN. The 97,378
square foot suburban office building was acquired on September 15, 1997 for $9.5
million. Occupancy at the time of acquisition, was at maximum capacity.
Occupancy at the Beaverton, OR; Oakbrook Terrace, IL; and Brentwood, TN
properties remained unchanged from December 31, 1996 at 100% . Occupancy at the
Morristown, NJ property increased from 93% to 100% while occupancy at the Lisle,
IL office property dropped from 100% to 37% in 1997.
APARTMENT COMPLEXES
In 1997, net investment income from apartment property operations was $3.9
million which was unchanged from the prior year.
10
<PAGE>
The three apartment communities experienced a net unrealized gain of $1.0
million during 1997. The Atlanta, GA property was the largest contributor to the
gain as it appreciated $1.3 million. This gain was attributable to increased
rental rates and occupancy at the property. The Raleigh, NC community had a net
unrealized loss of $0.4 million due to the appraisal assumptions concerning
above market rentals expiring and subsequently renewing at lower market rates.
Weighted average occupancy at the Partnership's residential communities
increased from 93.1% to 94.3% from December 31, 1996. Occupancy at the Atlanta,
GA and Farmington Hills, MI communities improved from 93% and 89%, respectively,
as of December 31, 1996 to 99% and 93%, respectively, at year end 1997.
Occupancy at the Raleigh, NC community decreased from 97% to 91% in 1997.
RETAIL PROPERTIES
Net investment income for the Partnership's retail property decreased by $0.3
million, or 8.7%, to $2.9 million in 1997. This decrease was primarily the
result of decreased occupancy at the shopping center earlier in the year. The
shopping center was 96% occupied as of December 31, 1997, unchanged from the
prior year.
The retail center experienced an unrealized gain of $1.1 million. This was a
result of changes in the assumed capital needs of the property and the leasing
of vacant spaces in the third and fourth quarters which stabilized future cash
flows and brought occupancy back up to 96%.
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
In 1997, net investment income from industrial property operations was $2.1
million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 32.9%, in 1996. The decline was
attributable to the sale of the industrial complex in Azusa, CA, in April 1996,
which accounted for $0.6 million of the decrease. The sale of the Partnership's
investment in the Jacksonville, FL industrial properties, in September 1997,
also contributed to the decline in net investment income. For properties held
for comparable periods in 1997 and 1996, net investment income was $2.0 million
and $1.9 million, respectively.
The Partnership acquired three industrial properties in 1997. The first
acquisition was a 182,500 square foot building in Salt Lake City, UT for $5.4
million. The second acquisition was a two building 277,500 square foot facility
in Aurora, CO for $8.5 million. As of December 31, 1997, both properties were
vacant. The third acquisition was the land under the Partnership's existing
Pomona CA, industrial complex. The Partnership acquired the land under a
purchase option for $3.5 million.
The industrial properties (including the recently purchased land) had $1.9
million of net unrealized appreciation in 1997. The largest single gain of $1.7
million was attributable to the purchase of the land under the Pomona, CA
property. The Salt Lake City, UT and Aurora, CO properties experienced negative
net appreciation as a result of softer market conditions.
As of December 31, 1997 occupancy at the Partnership's Pomona, CA and
Bolingbrook, IL industrial properties remained unchanged from December 31,1996
at 100%. As of December 31, 1997, both the Salt Lake City, UT and Aurora, CO
properties were 100% vacant.
The partnership sold its interest in the Jacksonville, FL warehouses for net
sales proceeds of $6.3 million, resulting in a gain of $0.3 million.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
Dividend income from REITs totaled $0.1 million in 1997. The Partnership
acquired 506,894 shares Meridian for $10.0 million on September 24, 1997.
Meridian is a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment
trust engaged in owning, operating, and leasing high quality, modern industrial
properties nationwide. As of December 31, 1997, these shares experienced a $2.5
million net unrealized gain.

(d) THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Partnership utilizes many of the same business applications, infrastructure
and business partners as Prudential. Prudential has addressed the Year 2000
issue on an enterprise-wide basis. Therefore, it is not possible to
differentiate the Partnership's Year 2000 issue from that of Prudential. The
accompanying discussion of the Year 2000 issue reflects steps taken by
Prudential to mitigate the Year 2000 risks.
Many computer systems are programmed to recognize only the last two digits in a
date. As a result, any computer system that has date-sensitive programming may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
problem can affect non-information technology systems that include embedded
technology, such as microprocessors included in "infrastructure" equipment used
for telecommunications and other services as well as computer systems. If this
anomaly is not corrected, the year "00" could cause systems to perform date
comparisons and calculations incorrectly, which could in turn affect the
accuracy and compromise the integrity of business records. Business operations
could be interrupted when companies are unable to process transactions, send
invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.
Prudential established a Company-wide Program Office (CPO) to develop and
coordinate an operating framework for the Year 2000 compliance activities.
Prudential's CPO structured the Year 2000 program into three major components:
Business Applications, Infrastructure and Business Partners. The CPO also
established quality assurance procedures including a certification process to
monitor and evaluate enterprise-wide progress of each component of Prudential's
program for conversion and upgrading of systems for Year 2000 compliance.
BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
The scope of the Business Applications component includes a wide range of
computer systems that directly support Prudential's business operations and
accounting systems. The entire application portfolio was analyzed in 1996 to
determine appropriate Year 2000 readiness strategies (i.e., renovate, replace or
retire). Rigorous testing standards have been employed for all applications that
will not be retired, including those that are newly developed or purchased.
Application replacement and renovation projects follow a similar path toward
Year 2000 compliance. The key project phases include Year 2000 analysis and
design, programming activities, testing, and implementation. Replacement
projects are also tracked until the existing applications are removed from
production.
Of Prudential's total application portfolio, approximately 70% of the
applications are being renovated, 13% are being replaced by Year 2000 compliant
systems, and the remaining 17% are being retired from production. At December
31, 1998, the percentage of business applications (based on application count)
in the implementation phase for Year 2000 compliance for renovation, replacement
and retirement are 99%, 96% and 99%, respectively. The overall completion date
for Business Applications is June 1999.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The scope of Prudential's Year 2000 Infrastructure initiatives include mainframe
computer system hardware and operating system software, mid-range systems and
servers, telecommunications equipment, buildings and facilities systems,
personal computers, and vendor hardware and software.
Although there are minor differences among these various components, the
approach to Year 2000 readiness for Infrastructure generally involves phases
identified as inventory, assessment, remediation activities (e.g., upgrading
hardware or software), testing and implementation. The overall completion date
for Infrastructure is June 1999.
BUSINESS PARTNERS
Prudential's approach to business partner readiness includes classification of
each partner's status as "highly critical" or "less critical" and the
development of contingency plans to address the potential that a business
partner could experience a Year 2000 failure. Approximately 30% of our business
partners have been identified as highly critical and the remaining 70% as less
critical. Project phases include inventory, risk assessment, and contingency
planning
13
<PAGE>
activities. All project phases for highly critical business partner
readiness were achieved in December 1998; we have an overall completion date for
less critical business partner readiness of June 1999.
THE COST OF YEAR 2000 READINESS
Prudential is funding the Year 2000 program from operating cash flows. Some of
the expenses of Prudential's Year 2000 readiness are allocated across its
various businesses and subsidiaries, including the Partnership. Expenses related
to the Year 2000 initiatives allocated to the Partnership are part of systems
overhead costs and are included in the Partnership's general and administrative
expenses. The Year 2000 costs allocated to the Partnership to date are not
material to its operations and financial conditions. Moreover, the forecasted
allocated Year 2000 costs are not expected to have a material impact on the
Partnership's ability to meet its contractual commitments.
YEAR 2000 RISKS AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING
The major portion of Prudential's transactions are of such volume that they can
only be effectively processed through the use of automated systems. Therefore,
substantially all of Prudential's contingency plans include the ultimate
resolution of any causative technology failures that may be encountered.
Prudential believes that the Business Application, Infrastructure and Business
Partners components of the Year 2000 project are substantially on schedule.
While management expects a small number of the projects may not meet their
targeted completion date, it is anticipated that these projects will be
completed by September 1999 so that any delays, if experienced, would not have a
significant impact on the timing of the project as a whole. During the course of
the Year 2000 program, some discretionary technology projects have been delayed
in favor of the completion of Year 2000 projects. However, this impact has been
minimized by Prudential's strategic decision to outsource most of the Year 2000
renovation work.
While Prudential and its subsidiaries believe that they are well positioned to
mitigate its Year 2000 issue, this issue, by its nature contains inherent
uncertainties, including the uncertainty of Year 2000 readiness of third
parties. Consequently, the Partnership is unable to determine at this time
whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership's results of operations, liquidity or financial
condition. In the worst case, it is possible that any technology failure,
including an internal or external Year 2000 failure, could have a material
impact on the Partnership results of operations, liquidity, or financial
position.
Prudential is enhancing existing business contingency plans to mitigate Year
2000 risk. Current contingency plans include planned responses to the failure of
specific business applications or infrastructure components. These responses are
being reviewed and expected to be finalized by June 1999 to ensure that they are
workable under the special conditions of a Year 2000 failure. The plans are also
being updated to reduce the level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem
including readiness of Prudential's Business Partners.
The discussion of the Year 2000 Issue herein, and in particular Prudential's
plans to remediate this issue and the estimated costs thereof, are
forward-looking in nature. See cautionary statement below relating to
forward-looking statements.
(e) INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain of the statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis may
be considered forward-looking statements. Words such as "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," or variations of such words are generally
part of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based
upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments and their potential effects upon the Company. There can be no
assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those
anticipated by management. There are certain important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from estimates or expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements including without limitation, changes in general
economic conditions, including the performance of financial markets and interest
rates; market acceptance of new products and distribution channels;
14
<PAGE>
competitive, regulatory or tax changes that affect the cost or demand for the
Company's products; and adverse litigation results. While the Company
reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting its financial
condition and results of operations, it does not intend to review or revise
any particular forward-looking statement referenced in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis in light of future events. The information referred
to above should be considered by readers when reviewing any forward-looking
statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Account and the Partnership are not subject to significant exposure to
market rate risk for changes in interest rates because the Partnership's
financial instruments consist primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial
paper and neither the Account nor the Partnership use derivative financial
instruments. Further, by policy, the Partnership places its investments with
high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any
one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to
maturity except under rare circumstances.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Contract Owners of the
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account
and the Board of Directors of
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Pruco Life of New Jersey
Variable Contract Real Property Account at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of shares owned in The Prudential Variable Contract Real
Property Partnership at December 31, 1998 and 1997, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTE 1: GENERAL
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real
Property Account") was established on October 30, 1987 by resolution of the
Board of Directors of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of
New Jersey"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance
Company of America ("Prudential"), as a separate investment account pursuant to
New Jersey law. The assets of the Real Property Account are segregated from
Pruco Life of New Jersey's other assets. The Real Property Account is used to
fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity
contracts issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey. These products are Appreciable
Life ("VAL"), Variable Life ("VLI"), Discovery Plus ("SPVA"), and Discovery Life
Plus ("SPVL").
The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable
Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership"). The Partnership is
organized under New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the
real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and annuity
contracts. The Real Property Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable
Contract Real Property Account and The Prudential Variable Contract Real
Property Account, are the sole investors in the Partnership.
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.
New sales of the VAL, VLI and SPVA products have been discontinued.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of the financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
B. INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
The investment in the Partnership is based on the Real Property Account's
proportionate interest of the Partnership's market value. At December 31, 1998
and 1997 the Real Property Account's interest in the Partnership was 3.9% or
456,853 shares and 4.0% or 473,226 shares, respectively.
C. INCOME RECOGNITION
Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are
recognized daily. Amounts are based upon the Real Property Account's
proportionate interest in the Partnership.
D. EQUITY OF PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
Pruco Life of New Jersey maintains a position in the Real Property Account for
property acquisitions and capital expenditure funding needs. The position is
also utilized for liquidity purposes including unit purchases and redemptions,
Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not
have an effect on the contract owner's account or the related unit value.

NOTE 5: 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 that life insurance and annuity
contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live
longer than estimated and expense risk is that the cost of issuing and
administering the policies may exceed related charges by Pruco Life of New
Jersey.
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.
C. COST OF INSURANCE CHARGES
Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being
invested in the Real Property Account. The deductions for VAL and VLI are
(1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges which are deducted in order to
compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for the cost of selling the contract and
(3) transaction costs, applicable to VAL, are deducted from each premium
payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are also
subject to monthly charges for the costs of administering the contract and to
compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for the guaranteed minimum death benefit
risk.
F-5
<PAGE>
D. DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
Subsequent to a contract owner redemption, a deferred sales charge is imposed
upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco
Life of New Jersey for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any
sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the
contract was issued. 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.
E. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
A charge is imposed by Pruco Life of New Jersey on partial withdrawals of the
cash surrender value for VAL. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be
made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a
contract.
Note 6: TAXES
Pruco Life of New Jersey is taxed as a "life insurance company" as defined by
the Internal Revenue Code and the results of operations of the Real Property
Account form a part of Prudential's consolidated federal tax return. Under
current federal law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Real Property
Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION
On April 29, 1988, Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership
(the "Partnership"), a general partnership organized under New Jersey law,
was formed through an agreement among The Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("Prudential"), Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), and
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"). The
Partnership was established as a means by which assets allocated to the real
estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable
annuity contracts issued by the respective companies could be invested in a
commingled pool. The partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life
and Pruco Life of New Jersey.
The Partnership's policy is to invest at least 65% of its assets in direct
ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating
mortgage loans. Although it is the Partnership's policy to adhere to the
aforementioned percentage, at December 31, 1998, the Partnership's direct
investment in real estate, as described above, temporarily fell to 64.7%. On
February 1, 1999, a distribution of cash brought the Partnership back into
compliance with the 65% policy by increasing the Partnership's direct
investment in real estate to 79.2%. (See Note 6: Subsequent Events). The
estimated market value of the Partnership's shares is determined daily,
consistent with the Partnership Agreement. On each day during which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for business, the net asset value of the
Partnership is estimated using the estimated market value of its assets, as
described in Notes 2A and 2B, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership.
The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A and 2B and
other adjustments to previous estimates are made on a prospective basis.
There can be no assurance that all such adjustments to estimates will be
made timely.
Shares of the Partnership are held by Prudential Variable Contract Real
Property Account, Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real
Property Accounts") and may be purchased and sold at the then current share
value of the Partnership's net assets. Share value is calculated by dividing
the estimated market value of net assets of the Partnership as determined
above by the number of shares outstanding. A contract owner participates in
the Partnership through interests in the Real Property Accounts.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A: REAL ESTATE OWNED AND INTEREST IN PROPERTIES - The Partnership's
investments in real estate owned and interests in properties are
initially valued at their purchase price. Real estate investments are
reported at their estimated market values based upon appraisal reports
prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the
Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization), within a
reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and
no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Appraiser of
Prudential Comptroller's Department Valuation Unit (Valuation Unit) is
responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent
and accurate market value estimates. In the interest of maintaining
and monitoring the independence and accuracy of the appraisal process,
the Comptroller of Prudential has appointed a third party firm to act
as the Appraisal Management Firm. The Appraisal Management Firm, among
other responsibilities, approves the selection and scheduling of
external appraisals; engages all external appraisers; reviews and
provides comments on all external appraisals; prepares all quarterly
update appraisals; assists in developing policies and procedures and
assists in the evaluation of the performance and competency of
external appraisers.
The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the market value of real
estate as of a specific date. Market value has been defined as the
most probable price for which the appraised real estate will sell in
a competitive market under all conditions requisite to fair sale, with
the buyer and seller each acting prudently, knowledgeably, and for
self interest, and assuming that neither is under undue duress.
The estimate of market value generally is a correlation of three
approaches, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment.
The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real
estate less
F-16
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996
deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2)
discounting of a series of income streams and reversion at a specified
yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an
appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of
comparable properties in the market place. 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.
As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real
estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process.
These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices
at which the real estate investments would sell since market prices of
real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between
a willing buyer and seller. Although the estimated market values
represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated
market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the
aggregate value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997.
B: INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITS) - Shares of REITs
are generally valued at their quoted market price. These values may
be adjusted for discounts resulting from restrictions, if any, on the
future sale of these shares, such as lockout periods or limitations
on the number of shares which may be sold in a given time period. Any
such discounts are determined by the Valuation Unit. The Valuation
Unit of Prudential applied a 3% discount to the market value of the
REIT shares at December 31, 1998. This discount is being applied
because of the restriction which limits the number of shares that can
be publicly traded during any six month period to 30% of the total
shares originally acquired.
C: REVENUE RECOGNITION - Rent from real estate is recognized when billed.
Revenue from certain real estate investments is net of all or a
portion of related real estate expenses and taxes. Since real estate
is stated at estimated market value, net income is not reduced by
depreciation and amortization expense. Dividend income is accrued at
the ex-dividend date.
D: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the Statement of Cash
Flows, all short-term investments with an original maturity of three
months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Cash of $114,745 and $128,089 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, was maintained by the properties for tenant security
deposits and is included in Other Assets on the Statements of Assets
and Liabilities.
E: MARKETABLE SECURITIES - Marketable securities are highly liquid
investments with maturities of more than three months when purchased
and are carried at estimated market value.
F: FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - The Partnership is not a taxable entity under
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The income and capital
gains and losses of the Partnership are attributed, for federal
income tax purposes, to the Partners in the Partnership. The
Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions
in which it operates.
G: MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
H: RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain 1997 amounts in the financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.

NOTE 3: LEASING ACTIVITY
The Partnership leases space to tenants under various operating lease
agreements. These agreements, without giving effect to renewal options, have
expiration dates ranging from 1999 to 2009. At December 31, 1998, the aggregate
future minimum base rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases by
year are:

NOTE 4: COMMITMENT FROM PARTNER
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 and other available
cash. The amount of the commitment is reduced by $10 million for every $100
million in current value net assets of the Partnership. As of December 31,
1998, Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment was
$51 million. At the present time, Prudential does not intend to make further
contributions during the 1999 fiscal year.
NOTE 5: 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 years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 management fees incurred by the Partnership
were $2.9 million; $2.6 million; and $2.5 million, respectively.
The Partnership also reimburses Prudential for certain administrative services
rendered by Prudential. The amounts incurred for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 were $116,128; $115,346; and $116,818, 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, FL (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 $12.5 million. The
Partnership's share of the proceeds was $6.3 million.
NOTE 6: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 1, 1999, $30 million was distributed to the Real Property Accounts.
