                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
           THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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 three months ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and notes thereto included in each Partner's December 31, 1999 Annual Report on
Form 10K.


NOTE 2:  COMMITMENT FROM PARTNER

In 1986, 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. Thus, with
$226 million in net assets, the commitment has been automatically reduced to $80
million. As of March 31, 2000, Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership,
on a cost basis, under this commitment was $35.8 million. Prudential does not
intend to make contributions during the 2000 fiscal year and will begin to phase
out this commitment over the next several years.


NOTE 3:  RELATED 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, 2000 and 1999 management fees incurred by the Partnership were
$668,314 and $670,744 respectively.

The Partnership also reimburses Prudential for certain administrative services
rendered by Prudential. The amounts incurred for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 were $29,157 and $29,032 respectively, and are classified as
administrative expenses in the Consolidated 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 receivable 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 the 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 Financial
Statements and the related Notes to the Financial Statements included elsewhere
herein.

(a) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2000, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities were $19.5 million, an increase of $2.7
million from December 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to the sale of
REIT shares during the first quarter of 2000 and operations of the Partnership's
properties. Sources of liquidity include net cash flow from property operations,
interest from short-term investments, and dividends from REIT shares.

The Partnership's investment policy allows up to 30% investment in cash and
short-term obligations, although the Partnership generally holds approximately
10% of its assets in cash or liquid instruments. At March 31, 2000, 9% of the
Partnership's assets consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.

In 1986, Prudential committed to fund up to $100 million to enable the
Partnership to acquire real estate investments. Contributions to the Partnership
under this commitment have been 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. Thus, with
$226 million in net assets, the commitment has been automatically reduced to $80
million. As of March 31, 2000, Prudential's equity interest in the Partnership,
on a cost basis, under this commitment was $35.8 million. Prudential does not
intend to make any contributions during the 2000 fiscal year and will begin to
phase out this commitment over the next several years.

The Partners made $36 million in withdrawals during 1999 from excess cash.
Additional withdrawals may be made by the Partners during 2000, 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 the first quarter 2000, the Partnership spent approximately $1.4 million
in capital expenditures. Approximately $1.0 million were associated with
construction costs pertaining to the apartment complex located in Jacksonville,
FL. The balance was associated with leasing activity at the office properties
located in Morristown, NJ and Lisle, IL.



(b) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a brief discussion of the Partnership's results of operations
for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

</TABLE>

The Partnership's net investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was
$3.5 million, an increase of $1.8 million from the corresponding quarter in the
prior year. This increase was primarily the result of the following factors; the
acquisitions of a controlling interest in an apartment complex in Jacksonville,
FL and an equity investment in a retail portfolio located in the Kansas City, MO
area during the third quarter 1999. Additionally, occupancy increased at the
industrial property located in Aurora, CO and the office complex located in
Morristown, NJ.


                                       17

Revenue from real estate properties was $5.9 million, for the first three months
of 2000. An increase of $2.2 million, or 61.6%, from $3.6 million in the
corresponding period 1999, mainly as a result of the acquisition of the
controlling interest in a Jacksonville, FL apartment complex and increased
occupancy previously discussed.

Income from interest in properties increased $169,213 or 100% during the first
quarter of 2000, as a result of the Partnership's equity investment interest in
the retail portfolio located in the Kansas City, MO area.

Dividend income from real estate investment trusts amounted to approximately
$0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an increase of approximately
$0.2 million, or 111.5%, compared to the corresponding quarter in 1999. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in the amount invested in REIT stocks.

Interest on short-term investments decreased approximately $0.4 million or 60.5%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 due primarily to a significantly lower
average cash balance during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to the
prior corresponding period. Cash and cash equivalents maintained during the
first quarter of 2000 averaged approximately $15.8 million when compared to the
first quarter of 1999 when the average cash and cash equivalents were
approximately $40.0 million.

Real estate taxes increased $89,654 or 15.8% for the first quarter ended 2000,
primarily as a result of the acquisition of the controlling interest in an
apartment complex located in Jacksonville, FL.

Administrative expenses increased $148,056, or 31.6%, for the first three months
of 2000 over the corresponding period 1999. This increase was primarily due to
the acquisition of the controlling interest in an apartment complex located in
Jacksonville, FL coupled with higher expense levels experienced by the office
property located in Morristown, NJ.

Interest expense increased $176,107, or 100%, in the first three months of 2000
compared to the corresponding period of 1999, as a result of the Partnership's
controlling interest in the apartment complex located in Jacksonville, FL, which
was acquired subject to $10.2 million in debt.

Minority interest in consolidated partnership increased $11,785, or 100%, as a
result of the Partnership's controlling joint venture investment in the
apartment complex located in Jacksonville, FL.

OFFICE PROPERTIES

Net investment income from property operations for the office sector
increased approximately $513,000, or 48.1%, for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 when compared to the corresponding period in 1999. This was primarily
due to increased occupancy at the buildings.

The six office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
loss of approximately $2.1 million during the first three months of 2000,
compared to a net unrealized loss of $1.3 million in the corresponding period
1999. The majority of this change in net unrealized loss, or $0.8 million, was
due to the office property located in Beaverton, OR. This decrease was due to
higher vacancy in the sub-market coupled with the loss of a major tenant at the
office complex. The increase in unrealized gain, or $0.5 million, from the
Lisle, IL property was offset by the increase in unrealized loss, or $0.5
million, from the Morristown, NJ property when comparing first quarter 2000 to
the corresponding period in 1999. The office property in Morristown, NJ is
currently being marketed for sale.

Occupancy at the Beaverton, OR, Oakbrook Terrace, IL, and one of the Brentwood,
TN properties remained unchanged from March 31, 1999 at 100%. Occupancy at the
Morristown, NJ property increased from 85% at March 31, 1999 to 100% at March
31, 2000 while occupancy at the Lisle, IL office property decreased from 96% at
March 31, 1999 to 80% at March 31, 2000. Occupancy at the other Brentwood, TN


                                       18
<PAGE>

property owned by the Partnership decreased from 100% at March 31, 1999 to 56%
at March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000 all vacant spaces were being marketed.

APARTMENT COMPLEXES

Net investment income from property operations for the apartment sector was $0.9
million for the first three months in 2000, an increase of $0.5 million, or
137.3%, when compared the corresponding period in 1999. This increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of the controlling interest in the apartment
complex located in Jacksonville, FL.

The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
gain of $79,652 in the first quarter of 2000 and a net unrealized loss of
$65,370 in the first quarter of 1999. The majority of the first quarter 2000 net
unrealized gain and the first quarter 1999 net unrealized loss was due to the
Atlanta, GA property.

The occupancy at the Atlanta, GA complex decreased from 97% at March 31, 1999 to
95% at March 31, 2000. Occupancy at the apartment complex in Raleigh, NC
decreased from 94% at March 31, 1999 to 93% at March 31, 2000. Occupancy at the
Jacksonville, FL apartment complex was 86% at March 31, 2000. As of March 31,
2000, all available vacant spaces were being marketed.

RETAIL PROPERTIES

Net investment income for the Partnership's retail property located in Roswell,
GA was approximately $0.7 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999.

The retail property experienced a net unrealized loss of $39,629 and $149,176 in
the first three months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. The net realized losses
in both years were the result of capital expenditures which did not increase the
market value of the property.

On September 30, 1999, the Partnership invested in an equity joint venture of
retail centers located in the Kansas City, MO area. This equity joint venture
investment required the Partnership to contribute $5.1 million to the investment
and the Partner to contribute $1.7 million. There is approximately $21.0 million
in debt on these retail centers. During the three months ended March 31, 2000,
income from this investment amounted to $169,213. This equity investment
experienced a net unrealized gain in the first quarter 2000 of $80,566,
primarily due to increased leasing activity and lease renewals at one of the
five centers.

Occupancy at the shopping center located in Roswell, GA decreased from 98% at
March 31, 1999 to 97% at March 31, 2000. The retail portfolio located in Kansas
City, KS and MO had an average occupancy of 93% at March 31, 2000. As of March
31, 2000, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES

Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties
increased from $85,250 in the first quarter 1999 to $377,080 in the
corresponding period 2000. The majority of this 342.3% increase was a result of
increased occupancy at the property in Aurora, CO.

The three industrial properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net
unrealized loss of approximately $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2000
compared to a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.2 million in 1999. The
majority of the decrease was attributable to the Aurora, CO industrial property.
This loss of approximately $0.4 million was due to more conservative assumptions
regarding rental rates, lease-up time and terminal capitalization rates used by
the appraiser. This is due to


                                       19
<PAGE>

the property's competitive position in the market. The industrial property
located in Bolingbrook, IL also experienced an unrealized loss of $0.4 million
during the first quarter 2000. This loss was due to decreased market rents
caused by softening market conditions. The Salt Lake City, UT property is
currently being marketed for sale.

The occupancy at the Bolingbrook, IL property was 100% at March 31, 2000 and
1999. The occupancy at the Salt Lake City, Utah property remained unchanged at
34% at March 31, 1999 and 2000. The Aurora, CO property's occupancy rate
increased from 62% at March 31, 1999 to 75% at March 31, 2000. As of March 31,
2000, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS

During the first quarter of 2000, the Partnership's investment in REITS
experienced unrealized and realized gains of $173,157 and $106,625,
respectively.

Management applied a 3% discount to the market value of the ProLogis REIT shares
through June 29, 1999 because of a restriction which limited the number of
shares that could be publicly traded during any six month period. This discount
was discontinued on June 30, 1999 because this restriction no longer applied.

OTHER

Other net investment income increased $51,249 during 2000 when compared to the
corresponding period in 1999. Other net investment income includes interest
income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and expenses not
related to property activities.

ITEM 3.  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.
