NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December
31, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
notes thereto included in each Partner's December 31, 1998 Annual Report on
Form 10K.
NOTE 2: COMMITMENT FROM PARTNER
In prior years, Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the
Partnership to acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership
under this commitment were utilized for property acquisitions, and returned to
Prudential on an ongoing basis from the 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
September 30, 1999, Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership under this
commitment was $38.3 million.
On February 2, 1999, Prudential and its partners withdrew $30 million based on
the ratio of each Partners' equity in the Partnership. At the present time,
Prudential does not intend to make further contributions during the 1999 fiscal
year.
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 nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 management fees incurred by the Partnership
were $2,027,470 and $2,121,474 respectively.
The Partnership also reimburses Prudential for certain administrative services
rendered by Prudential. The amounts incurred for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998 were $87,305 and $87,096 respectively, and are classified as
administrative expenses in the statements of operations.
NOTE 4: INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT)
On March 30, 1999, the Partnership exchanged 506,894 shares of Meridian REIT for
557,583 shares of ProLogis REIT, fair value of $10,942,566, and cash of
$1,013,796 (or total fair value of $11,956,362) as a result of ProLogis'
acquisition of Meridian. Management continued applying a 3% discount to the
market value of the ProLogis REIT shares through June 29, 1999 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. The
application of the 3% discount was discontinued on June 30, 1999 because this
restriction no longer applied.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All of the assets of Prudential 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 September 30, 1999, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities were $20.7 million, a decrease of
$52.8 million from $73.5 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease is due
primarily to Partners' withdrawals of $30.0 million on February 2, 1999 and
the acquisition of two additional real estate investments during September
1999 which required funding amounting to approximately $12.0 million.
At the present time, Prudential has decided not to make further contributions to
the Partnership for investments in real estate. On February 2, 1999, the
Partners made a $30 million withdrawal from excess cash. Further 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 and capital
expenditures. Management anticipates that it's current liquid assets and ongoing
cash flow from operations will satisfy the Partnership's needs over the next
twelve months and the foreseeable future, including anticipated withdrawals by
the Partners.
The Partnership's investment policy allows up to 30% investments in cash and
short-term obligations. At September 30, 1999, 10% of the Partnership's assets
consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Sources of
liquidity include net cash flow from property operations, interest from short
term investments, and dividends from Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) shares.
Capital expenditures were approximately $1,100,000 and were of a recurring
nature.
(b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a brief year-to-date and quarterly comparison of the
Partnership's results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and
1998 and an explanation of REIT trading.
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 VS. SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
The Partnership's net investment income for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 was $9.5 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from net investment income of
$11.0 million for the corresponding period in 1998. The Partnership's net
investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 was $3.2 million, a
decrease of $0.3 million from net investment income of $3.5 million for the
corresponding period in 1998.
Revenue from real estate and improvements for the first nine months of 1999 was
$15.7 million, a decrease of $2.7 million or 14.6% from $18.4 million for the
corresponding period in 1998. Revenue from real estate and improvements
decreased $0.8 million or 13.3% to $5.2 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1999. These decreases were primarily due to the sales of the Partnership's
industrial property located in Pomona, CA and an apartment complex located in
Farmington Hills, MI during 1998.
On March 30, 1999, the Partnership exchanged 506,894 shares of Meridian REIT for
557,583 shares of ProLogis REIT, fair value of $10,942,566, and cash of
$1,013,796 (or total fair value of $11,956,362) as a result of ProLogis'
acquisition of Meridian. The exchange resulted in a realized gain of $401,713.
Dividend income from real estate
14
<PAGE>
investment trusts amounted to $0.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, an increase of $0.5 million or 136.1% compared to the
corresponding period in 1998. Dividend income from real estate investment trusts
increased approximately $185,000 or 110.8% to $352,685 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. These increases were primarily due to an increase in the
amount invested in REIT stocks.
Interest on short-term investments increased approximately $296,000 or 27.2% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 due primarily to a significantly higher
average cash balance during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to
the corresponding period last year. Cash and cash equivalents maintained through
the third quarter of 1999 averaged approximately $42 million when compared to
the third quarter of 1998 when average cash and cash equivalents were
approximately $30 million.
Interest on short-term investments decreased approximately $83,000 or 20.0% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 due primarily to a significantly lower
average cash balance during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to the
corresponding period last year. Cash and cash equivalents maintained during the
third quarter of 1999 averaged approximately $25 million when compared to the
third quarter of 1998 when average cash and cash equivalents were approximately
$33 million.
Administrative expenses decreased $206,683 or 12.3% during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. Administrative expenses decreased approximately $231,000 or
35% during the quarter ended September 30, 1999. These decreases were primarily
due to the sales of the Partnership's industrial property located in Pomona, CA
and an apartment complex located in Farmington Hills, MI during 1998.
Operating expenses decreased $154,637 or 13.8% when compared to the third
quarter of 1998 mainly as a result of the sales of the apartment complex and the
industrial property discussed previously, coupled with a decrease in operating
expenses for the office property located in Lisle, IL as the result of a
decrease in occupancy from 96% to 88% when comparing the third quarter of 1998
to the corresponding quarter in 1999.
The following is a year-to-date and quarterly comparison of the Partnership's
property results of operations and realized and unrealized gains or losses, by
investment type.

OFFICE PROPERTIES
Net investment income from property operations for the office sector increased
approximately $746,000 or 16% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 when
compared to the corresponding period in 1998. This increase in net investment
income was primarily due to higher revenue levels experienced by the Oakbrook,
IL office complex as the result of a lease termination fee received from one of
the tenants, coupled with higher overall occupancy levels during 1999 at the
Lisle, IL office complex.
Net investment income from property operations for the office sector increased
approximately $228,000 or 16% during the third quarter of 1999 when compared to
the corresponding period in 1998. The increase in net investment income was
primarily due to higher revenue levels and lower expense levels experienced by
the Lisle, IL office complex, coupled with an increase in occupancy level
experienced by the Morristown, NJ office complex.
The six office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
loss of approximately $3.1 million during the first nine months of 1999 compared
to a net unrealized gain of $2.2 million in the corresponding period in 1998.
The largest share of this net unrealized loss or 51% was primarily due to the
office property located in Oakbrook Terrace, IL. This $1.6 million value
decrease was due to costs associated with re-leasing the facility and

downtime resulting from the upcoming vacating of the property by the two tenants
who currently occupy the entire facility. The Beaverton, OR office property also
experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.8 million. This decline in
value was due to a change in discounted cash flow assumptions resulting from the
large amount of Class "A" space under construction in the local market. In
addition, a lower renewal probability in determining the valuation of the
property was utilized for Nike, a major tenant. The Lisle, IL office property
also experienced a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million primarily
due to capital expenditures on the property that were not reflected as an
increase in market value.
The office properties experienced a net unrealized gain of approximately $0.9
million during the third quarter of 1999 compared to a net unrealized loss of
$0.5 million in the corresponding period in 1998. The gain was primarily the
result of the Oakbrook Terrace, IL property experiencing a $0.7 million net
unrealized gain as a result of increased market rent levels at the property.
Occupancy at the Beaverton, OR and Oakbrook Terrace, IL properties remained
unchanged from September 30, 1998 at 100%. Occupancy at the Morristown, NJ
property increased from 87% at September 30, 1998 to 97% at September 30, 1999
while occupancy at the Lisle, IL office property decreased from 96% at September
30, 1998 to 88% at September 30, 1999. Occupancy at the Brentwood, TN properties
decreased from 100% at September 30, 1998 to 95% at September 30, 1999. As of
September 30, 1999 all vacant spaces were being marketed.
APARTMENT COMPLEXES
Net investment income from property operations for the apartment sector was
$1,617,646 for the first nine months of 1999, a decrease of $1,490,344 or 48%
compared with the corresponding period in 1998. Net investment income from
property operations for the apartment complexes was $701,052 for the third
quarter of 1999, a decrease of $362,407 or 34.1% compared with the corresponding
period in 1998. These decreases were primarily due to the sale of the apartment
complex located in Farmington Hills, MI on October 8, 1998.
The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
loss of $188,505 and a net unrealized gain of $1,916,826 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively. The net unrealized gain
experienced in 1998 was primarily due to the increased value of the Farmington
Hill, MI apartment complex which was subsequently sold on October 8, 1998. The
market value on this property was adjusted upward to reflect market data based
on offers received for the property in 1998.
The apartments experienced a net unrealized loss of $614,430 and a net
unrealized gain of $1,575,564 for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
respectively. The majority of the unrealized loss in 1999 was experienced by the
property located in Atlanta, GA, which decreased as a result of the final real
estate tax bill received on the property which was approximately $80,000 higher
for the year than was originally anticipated. This unexpected increase in real
estate taxes affects the property's current and future cash flow and resulted in
a decrease in market value of approximately $600,000. The majority of the
unrealized gain in 1998 was attributable to the Farmington Hill, MI apartment
complex for the reasons discussed above.
On September 17, 1999, the Partnership invested in an apartment complex located
in Jacksonville, FL, This joint venture investment required the Partnership to
contribute $7.2 million and the partner to contribute $0.4 million. There is
$10.2 million in debt on this garden apartment complex.
The occupancy at the Atlanta, GA complex remained unchanged from September 30,
1998 at 98%. Occupancy at the apartment complex in Raleigh, NC decreased from
97% at September 30, 1998 to 96% at September 30, 1999. Occupancy at the
Jacksonville, FL apartment complex was 93% at September 30, 1999. As of
September 30, 1999, all vacant spaces were being marketed.
RETAIL PROPERTY
Net investment income for the first nine months of 1999 for the Partnership's
retail property located in Roswell, GA was $2,067,724, a decrease of $166,084 or
7.4% from $2,233,808 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 due primarily
to higher expense levels at the shopping center. Net investment income for the
third quarter of 1999

<PAGE>
was $692,468, a decrease of $59,710 or 7.9% when compared to the
corresponding period in 1998.
The retail property experienced a net unrealized gain of $291,767 and a net
unrealized loss of $1,395,791 for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase in value for 1999 was attributable to an adjustment
in cash flow assumptions which resulted when the market re-stabilized after a
competing retail property had been built in the same general vicinity. The
complex is currently being marketed for sale.
The retail property experienced a net unrealized loss of $39,973 and a net
unrealized gain of $275,142 for the third quarter of 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The net unrealized loss for the third quarter of 1999 was
attributable to capital expenditures on the property that were not reflected as
an increase in market value.
On September 30, 1999, the Partnership invested in a retail portfolio located in
Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS. This joint venture investment required the
Partnership to contribute $4.9 million to the investment and the partner to
contribute $1.6 million. There is $21.0 million in debt on this retail
portfolio.
Occupancy at the shopping center located in Roswell, GA decreased from 99% at
September 30, 1998 to 98% at September 30, 1999. The retail portfolio located in
Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS had an average occupancy of 88% at September
30, 1999. As of September 30, 1999, all vacant spaces were being marketed.
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES
Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties
decreased from $1,590,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to
$480,812 for the corresponding period in 1999. Net investment income from
property operations for the industrial properties decreased from $543,415 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to $324,431 for the corresponding period in
1999. The majority of these decreases was a result of the sale of Pomona
Industrial Park, including the land.
The three industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net
unrealized gain of approximately $143,000 and $793,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The properties experienced a net
unrealized gain of approximately $348,000 and $921,000 for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The majority of the increases for
1999 was attributable to the Aurora, CO industrial property due to improved
market conditions as evidenced by higher market rental rates and the faster
absorption of vacant space. The majority of the increases for 1998 was
attributable to the industrial property located in Pomona, CA, which was later
sold on December 17, 1998, and the industrial property located in Aurora, CO.
The occupancy at the Bolingbrook, IL property was 100% at September 30, 1999 and
1998. The occupancy at the Salt Lake City, Utah property increased to 34% at
September 30, 1999 from 0% at September 30, 1998. The Aurora, CO property's
occupancy rate increased from 27% at September 30, 1998 to 67% at September 30,
1999. As of September 30, 1999, all vacant spaces were being marketed.
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS
During the first nine months of 1999, the Partnership recognized a realized gain
of $401,713 from the exchange of 506,894 shares of Meridian REIT for 557,583
shares of REIT which was offset by a realized loss of $437,798 primarily as a
result of the sale of 171,375 ProLogis REIT shares and various investments in
REIT stocks.
The Partnership recognized a net realized loss from real estate investment
trusts of $103,744 for the third quarter of 1999 primarily as a result of the
sale of various investments in REIT stocks.
Management continued applying a 3% discount to the market value of the ProLogis
REIT shares through June 29, 1999 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. The application of the 3% discount was
discontinued on June 30, 1999 because this restriction no longer applied.

(c) THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
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. Refer to management's discussion of the Year 2000 issue
in the December 31, 1998 Form 10-K for the steps taken by Prudential to mitigate
the Year 2000 risks.
The Business Application, Infrastructure and Business Partner components of
Prudential's Year 2000 project are complete. Prudential believes that it is
well positioned to lessen the impact of the Year 2000 problem. However, given
the nature of this issue, it cannot be certain of Year 2000 readiness of third
parties. As a result, we are unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of Year 2000 failures may have a materially adverse affect on
the results of Prudential's operations, liquidity or financial condition.
Prudential will continue to review and test its contingency plans in an
effort to reduce the level of uncertainty about the effect of the Year 2000
issue and further mitigate risk. Prudential is establishing a Year 2000
Global Control Center ("GCC") to monitor Year 2000 activity during the
rollover weekend to the Year 2000 and thereafter. The GCC will receive status
information from our applications, facilities, communication centers and
business partners and serve as a central location to manage Year 2000 issues.
Prudential believes that, with the completion of the Year 2000 project as
scheduled, the possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations
will be reduced.
Prudential has investment securities that are both publicly traded and privately
placed. Prudential is exposed to the risk that issuers of these investments will
be adversely affected by Year 2000 issues. Prudential has implemented procedures
to assess the impact that Year 2000 issues may have on its investments as part
of due diligence for proposed new investments, where appropriate, as well as
their ongoing review of certain portfolio holdings. For any recommended actions
with respect to particular investments, the Company will consider the disclosed
potential impact of Year 2000 on the issuer.
There were no Year 2000 costs allocated directly to the Partnership to date and
none are anticipated. The discussion of the Year 2000 issue herein, and in
particular Prudential's plans to remediate this issue and estimated costs
thereof, are forward-looking in nature. See cautionary statement below relating
to forward-looking statements.
(d) 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 Partnership. There can be no
assurance that future developments affecting the Partnership 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; competitive,
regulatory or tax changes that affect the cost or demand for the Partnership's
products; and adverse litigation results. While the Partnership reassesses
material trends and uncertainties affecting its financial position 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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Partnership is 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 does not 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. At September 30, 1999,
90% of the Partnership's investments were in real estate.
