Forward-Looking Statement Disclosure

Certain of the statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including but not limited to those in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “includes,” “plans,” “assumes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “will,” “shall” or variations of such words are generally part of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon The Prudential Insurance Company of America, or the “Company”, or the Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, or the “Real Property Account”. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company and the Real Property Account will be those anticipated by management. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, among others: (1) general economic, market and political conditions, including the performance and fluctuations of fixed income, equity, real estate and other financial markets, particularly in light of the severe economic conditions and the severe stress experienced by the financial markets that began the second half of 2007 and continued into 2009; (2) interest rate fluctuations; (3) re-estimates of our reserves for future policy benefits and claims; (4) differences between actual experience regarding mortality, morbidity, persistency, surrender experience, interest rates, or market returns and the assumptions we use in pricing our products, establishing liabilities and reserves or for other purposes; (5) changes in our assumptions related to deferred policy acquisition costs and valuation of business acquired; (6) changes in our claims-paying or credit ratings; (7) investment losses and defaults; (8) competition in our product lines and for personnel; (9) changes in tax law; (10) regulatory or legislative changes, including government actions in response to the stress experienced by the financial markets; (11) adverse determinations in litigation or regulatory matters and our exposure to contingent liabilities; (12) domestic or international military actions, natural or man-made disasters including terrorist activities or pandemic disease, or other events resulting in catastrophic loss of life; (13) ineffectiveness of risk management policies and procedures in identifying, monitoring and managing risks; and (14) changes in statutory or “U.S. GAAP” accounting principles, practices or policies. As noted above, the period from the second half of 2007 continuing into 2009 was characterized by extreme adverse market and economic conditions. The forgoing risks are even more pronounced in these unprecedented market and economic conditions. The Company and the Real Property Account do not intend, and are under no obligation, to update any particular forward-looking statement included in this document. See “Risk Factors” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of certain risks relating to the operation of the Partnership and investment in our securities.

PART I

Item 1. Business

The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Real Property Account” or the “Registrant”) was established on November 20, 1986. Pursuant to New Jersey law, the Real Property Account was established as a separate investment account of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”). 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 Prudential.

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 an agreement among Prudential, 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, 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 following is a summary of the Partnership’s real estate investments as of December 31, 2009:

Office Properties – The Partnership owns office properties in Lisle, Illinois; Brentwood, Tennessee; and Beaverton, Oregon. Total square footage owned is approximately 372,007, of which 75%, or 279,838 square feet, is leased between 1 and 10 years.

Apartment Complexes – The Partnership owns apartment properties in Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina, comprising a total of 855 apartment units, of which 95%, or 809 units, are leased. Leases range from month-to-month to sixteen months.

Retail Property – The Partnership owns retail properties in Ocean City, Maryland; Hampton, Virginia; Dunn, North Carolina; and Westminster, Maryland. Total square footage owned is approximately 655,855 of which 78%, or 512,734 square feet, is leased between 1 and 30 years.

Hotel Property – The Partnership owns a hotel property in Lake Oswego, Oregon. This joint venture investment has 161 rooms. Occupancy for the year ended 2009 averaged 61%.

Investment in Real Estate Trust – The Partnership liquidated its entire investment in shares of a real estate investment trust, or “REIT” in December 2001. The Partnership does, however, maintain a preferred equity investment in a REIT (See ”Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information).

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 its assets invested in any one investment, no more than 70% of its assets in any two investments, no more than 80% of its assets in any three investments, and no more than 90% of its assets in any four investments. Also, to comply with regulatory requirements of the State of Arizona, the Partnership limits investments in any one parcel or related parcels to an amount not exceeding 10% of the Partnership’s gross assets as of the prior fiscal year.

For more information regarding the Partnership’s investments, operations and other significant events, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The following is a description of general conditions in the U.S. real estate markets for 2009 to which the Partnership’s investments were subject. It does not relate to specific properties held by the Partnership. The Partnership does not have widely diversified holdings; therefore, the discussions of vacancy rates, property values, required investment rates and returns in this section are not necessarily relevant to the Partnership’s portfolio. These historic trends are not indicative of future performance.

Market Conditions

After approximately two years of economic decline, some positive signs for commercial real estate have recently appeared. Employment losses have slowed but continue to increase. Unlike the early 1990s recession, when substantial amounts of capital were withdrawn from the commercial real estate asset class, some REITs and private funds have been able to raise capital for future opportunities. Meanwhile, real estate secured debt is becoming more available: in the fourth quarter of 2009 the first non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were issued in more than a year, and some banks and life insurance companies have become more willing to lend. Despite value stabilization, there are reasons to be cautious, as commercial real estate fundamentals remain weak. Vacancy rates in all major asset classes have been increasing for two years due to the combination of new supply and negative absorption, causing property incomes to fall near-term. Investment rates, the returns to investment demanded by property buyers known as capitalization or “cap” rates, rose considerably during 2009, causing property values to decline.

Debt Markets

Except for multi-family properties, which are covered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the availability of mortgage financing is not strong. Some traditional commercial mortgage providers have returned to the market, and will lend against high-quality assets. However, total origination volume remains relatively low because borrower demand is weak, and there are few debt providers willing to lend on properties that are in secondary locations or do not have a strong tenant base. Insurers have few delinquent loans on their books. They are entering into low-leverage loans secured by high-quality properties at higher interest rate spreads than in past years when there was lower competition due to greater loan supply. In particular, small- to medium-sized properties with stable cash flows and creditworthy sponsors are typically now able to find a life insurance company or bank willing to originate a mortgage.

On the property level, many maturing bank loans cannot be refinanced with the same level of proceeds. With property values down significantly from the market peak, most maturing bank loans exceed the banks’ desired loan-to-value ratios. As a result, many maturing bank mortgages over the past year have been extended because borrowers are unable to provide additional capital for overleveraged properties, and banks want to avoid foreclosing as long as the borrower is paying debt service. When banks agree to extend loans they often require a higher interest rate, partial principal repayment, increased amortization, or some combination thereof.

REIT Market

The REIT market recovery occurred simultaneously with the rally in the global stock and bond markets that started in March 2009. The recovery was broad-based, both within the REIT sector and across the broader public equities market. Further, REITs’ access to capital improved significantly in the third quarter due in part to the rally in the corporate bond market, which caused yield spreads to narrow sharply. Amid strong demand from high yield investors, both institutional and retail, REITs turned to the unsecured bond market to raise capital. We believe most of the capital raised to date has been used to refinance maturing debt or to pay down credit lines.

Property Markets

The U.S. economy has exhibited severe levels of unemployment since December 2007 and January 2009, when the underemployed, which includes part-time workers in search of full-time jobs and those who have given up searching, increased to 17.3%. Every sector in the commercial real estate market is approaching historic lows in terms of demand and income growth. The employment market outlook and reductions in consumer spending since 2007 could create leasing risk for commercial properties, including office properties, shopping centers, industrial properties, hotels and apartments, which have historically exhibited positive correlation to job growth.

Hotels: A reduction in both business and leisure travel caused national hotel occupancy rates to drop in 2009. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) fell in 2009, and borrower defaults on loans secured by hotels are rising.

Offices: The real estate market has seen negative net absorption of office space over the past two years, which is expected to cause near-term vacancy rates to rise. Unlike some other sectors, office development has been fairly stagnant in recent years, thus exerting a dampening effect on vacancy rates due to lower supply.

Retail: The significant decline in consumer spending has had a large impact on the retail sector. Retail property values have fallen, and consumer spending remains below 2007 levels. Many retailers survived despite the severity of contraction in sales; however, other retailers have contracted or gone out of business as a result of the weak economy.

4

Apartment: The apartment sector continues to exhibit weak demand due to job losses and excess supply from the single-family and condominium markets. The national apartment vacancy rate reached its highest level in 30 years during the fourth quarter of 2009. The presence of the government-backed agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that provide multi-family financing has helped the sector avoid a larger decline in property values. However, it is unclear how the sector will fare if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reduce their balance sheets as planned.

Industrial: Warehouse properties are sensitive to retail spending. Port activity fell sharply during the recession. Like other property types, no new supply is being produced.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risks. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks are not exclusive, and additional risks to which we are subject include, but are not limited to, the factors mentioned under “Forward-Looking Statements” above and the risks of our businesses described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our business and results of operations were materially adversely affected by the adverse conditions in the financial markets and adverse economic conditions generally that began in the second half of 2007 and continued into 2009. Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected, possibly materially, if these conditions recur or deteriorate.

Our results of operations were materially adversely affected by conditions in the global financial markets and the economy generally, that began in the second half of 2007 and continued into 2009. Volatility and disruption in the global financial markets reached unprecedented levels for the Post World War II period. The availability and cost of credit were materially affected. These factors, combined with economic conditions in the U.S., including depressed home and commercial real estate prices and increasing foreclosures, falling equity market values, declining business and consumer confidence and rising unemployment, precipitated a severe economic recession and fears of even more severe and prolonged adverse economic conditions.

Due to the economic environment, the global fixed-income markets experienced both extreme volatility and limited market liquidity conditions, which affected a broad range of asset classes and sectors. As a result, the market for fixed income instruments has experienced decreased liquidity, increased price volatility, credit downgrade events, and increased probability of default. Equity markets have also been experiencing heightened volatility. These events had and, to the extent they persist or recur, may have an adverse effect on us. Our revenues are likely to decline in such circumstances, the cost of meeting our obligations to our customers may increase, and our profit margins could erode. In addition, in the event of a prolonged or severe economic downturn, we could incur significant losses in our investment portfolio.

The demand for our products could be adversely affected in an economic downturn characterized by higher unemployment, lower family income, lower consumer spending, lower corporate earnings and lower business investment. We also may experience a higher incidence of claims and lapses or surrenders of policies. Our policyholders may choose to defer or stop paying insurance premiums. We cannot predict definitively whether or when such actions, which could impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, may occur.

Governmental actions in response to the recent financial crisis could subject us to substantial additional regulation.

The U.S. federal government has taken and is considering taking actions to address the recent financial crisis which are significant. We cannot predict with any certainty whether these actions will be effective or the effect they may have on the financial markets or on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Governmental actions in response to the recent financial crisis could subject Prudential, its parent company and its affiliates to substantial additional regulation. For example, during 2009, the Obama Administration and Congress announced proposals to reform the national regulation of financial services and financial institutions, including through the “Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009” which was approved by the House of Representatives in December 2009. Under this bill, Prudential, its parent company and its affiliates could become subject to unspecified stricter standards, including stricter requirements and limitations relating to capital, leverage, liquidity, debt to income ratios, and counterparty exposure, as well as overall risk management requirements and a requirement to maintain a plan for rapid and orderly dissolution in the event of severe financial distress. Also, if enacted, the bill would also establish a “Federal Insurance Office” within the Department of the Treasury which, among other things, would be required to conduct a study on how to modernize and improve the system of insurance regulation in the United States, including by increased national uniformity through either a federal charter or effective action by the states. We cannot predict whether Prudential, its parent company or its affiliates or any of their activities might be designated for stricter standards, if the bill’s provisions became law. Nor can we predict what standards might be imposed, or what impact such standards would have on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in U.S. federal income tax law could make some of our products less attractive to consumers and increase our tax costs.

Current U.S. federal income tax laws generally permit certain holders to defer taxation on the build-up of value of annuities and life insurance products until payments are actually made to the policyholder or other beneficiary and to exclude from taxation the death benefit paid under a life insurance contract. Congress from time to time considers legislation that could make our products less attractive to consumers, including legislation that would reduce or eliminate the benefit of this deferral on some annuities and insurance products, as well as other types of changes that could reduce or eliminate the attractiveness of annuities and life insurance products to consumers, such as repeal of the estate tax.

Under current law, the estate tax is completely eliminated for 2010. Thereafter, the tax is reinstated using the exclusion limit and rates in effect in 2001. It is unclear if Congress will keep current law in place or take action to reinstate the estate tax, possibly retroactively to the beginning of 2010. This uncertainty makes estate planning difficult and may impact the sale or persistency of our products.

Congress, as well as state and local governments, also considers from time to time legislation that could increase the amount of taxes payable.

On February 1, 2010 the Obama Administration released the “General Explanations of the Administration’s Revenue Proposals” or Revenue Proposals. Although the Administration has not released proposed statutory language, the Revenue Proposals includes proposals which if enacted, would affect the taxation of life insurance companies and certain life insurance products.

The large federal deficit, as well as the budget constraints faced by many states and localities, increases the likelihood that Congress and state and local governments will raise revenue by enacting legislation increasing the taxes paid by individuals and corporations. This can be accomplished either by raising rates or otherwise changing the tax rules. While higher tax rates increase the benefits of tax deferral on the build up of value of annuities and life insurance, making our products more attractive to consumers, legislation that reduces or eliminates deferral would have a potential negative effect on our products.

The products we sell have different tax characteristics, in some cases generating tax deductions. The level of profitability of certain of our products are significantly dependent on these characteristics and our ability to continue to generate taxable income, which are taken into consideration when pricing products and are a component of our capital management strategies. Accordingly, a change in tax law, our ability to generate taxable income, or other factors impacting the availability of the tax characteristics generated by our products, could impact product pricing and returns or require us to reduce our sales of these products or implement other actions that could be disruptive to our business.

Our businesses are heavily regulated and changes in regulation may reduce our profitability.

Our business is subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision. The purpose of this regulation is primarily to protect our customers. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject, are regularly re-examined, and existing or future laws and regulations may become more restrictive or otherwise adversely affect our operations. This is particularly the case under current market conditions. It appears likely that the continuing financial markets dislocation will lead to extensive changes in existing laws and regulations, and regulatory frameworks, applicable to our business.

We are subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to public reporting and disclosure, accounting and financial reporting, and corporate governance matters. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules and regulations adopted in furtherance of that Act have substantially increased our requirements in these and other areas. Changes in accounting requirements could have an impact on our reported results of operations and our reported financial position.

Insurance regulators, as well as industry participants, have begun to implement significant changes in the way in which statutory reserves and statutory capital are determined particularly for products with embedded options and guarantees, and are considering further potentially significant changes in these requirements. Regulatory capital requirements based on scenario testing have already gone into effect for variable annuity products, and new reserving requirements for these products were implemented as of the end of 2009. The timing and extent of further changes to the statutory reporting framework are uncertain.

Compliance with applicable laws and regulations is time consuming and personnel-intensive, and changes in these laws and regulations may materially increase our direct and indirect compliance and other expenses of doing business, thus having a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

6

Continuing adverse financial market conditions may significantly affect our ability to meet liquidity needs, our access to capital and our cost of capital, including capital that may be required by our subsidiaries.

Adverse capital market conditions have affected and may continue to affect the availability and cost of borrowed funds and could impact our ability to refinance existing borrowings, thereby ultimately impacting our ability to support or grow our businesses. We need liquidity to pay our operating expenses, interest on our debt and replace certain maturing debt obligations. Without sufficient liquidity, we could be forced to curtail certain of our operations, and our business could suffer. The principal sources of our liquidity are insurance premiums, annuity considerations, deposit funds and cash flow from our investment portfolio and assets, consisting mainly of cash or assets that are readily convertible into cash.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into loan agreements with certain lenders to finance its real estate investment transactions. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase related borrowing costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Partnership. There is no guarantee that the Partnership’s borrowing arrangements or ability to obtain leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Partnership. Further, these loan agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and various covenants and representations. In the normal course of business, the Partnership may be in the process of renegotiating terms for loans outstanding that have passed their maturity dates. At December 31, 2009, the Partnership had no outstanding matured loans.

A decline in market value of the Partnership’s assets may also have particular adverse consequences in instances where the Partnership borrowed money based on the fair value of specific assets. A decrease in market value of these assets may result in the lender requiring the Partnership to post additional collateral or otherwise repay these loans.

In the event the Partnership’s current investment obligations are not refinanced or extended when they become due and/or the Partnership is required to repay such borrowings and obligations, management anticipates that the repayment of these obligations, will be provided by operating cash flow, new debt refinancing, and real estate investment sales.

Market fluctuations and general economic, market and political conditions may adversely affect our business and profitability.

Even under relatively more favorable market conditions (such as those prevailing before the second half of 2007), our insurance products and certain of our investment products, as well as our investment returns and our access to and cost of financing, are sensitive to fixed income, equity, real estate and other market fluctuations and general economic, market and political conditions. These fluctuations and conditions could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and liquidity, including in the following respects:

• All real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from investments depend on the amounts of income generated and expenses incurred. If investment properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, cash flow will be adversely affected.

• The revenues and value of a particular real estate investment may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the cyclical nature of the real estate market, availability of credit and debt, general national economic conditions, local economic conditions, local real estate conditions, and fluctuations in operating costs, including real estate taxes and utilities. Certain significant expenditures associated with each equity investment, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness, and if the mortgaged property is unable to produce enough revenue to cover its mortgage or other debt payments, a loss could be sustained as a result of foreclosure on the property or the exercise of other remedies by the lender. In addition, a property’s revenues and real estate value may also be affected by such factors as potential liability under applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, which may vary widely depending upon location, including tax laws, environmental laws, Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements, and rent stabilization laws.

The dramatic deterioration in the capital markets and increasing weakness in the overall economy may adversely affect all sectors of the real estate market and may lead to declines in property values. Adverse capital market conditions could impact the liquidity of our investments, affecting their value and potentially resulting in higher realized and/or unrealized losses. These events may have an adverse affect on our investment results.

• The estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. There continues to be significant disruptions in the global capital, credit and real estate markets. These disruptions have led to, among other things, a significant decline in the volume of transaction activity, in the fair value of many real estate and real estate related investments, and a significant contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. The decline in liquidity and prices of real estate and real estate related investments, as well as the availability of observable

7

transaction data and inputs, may have made it more difficult to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, these estimated fair values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller and could be material to the financial statements.

Regardless of market conditions, certain investments we hold, including the properties in the Account, are relatively illiquid. If we needed to sell these investments, we may have difficulty in selling them for acceptable prices.

• Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the financial markets may limit our access to capital required to operate our business. These market conditions may limit our ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing obligations and access the capital necessary to replace assets withdrawn by customers.

• Market conditions could also impact our ability to fund foreseen and unforeseen cash and collateral requirements, potentially inhibiting our ability to perform under our counterparty obligations, support business initiatives and increasing realized losses.

A change in market conditions, including prolonged periods of high inflation, could cause a change in consumer sentiment adversely affecting persistency of our life insurance and annuity products, including those offering the Account as an investment option.

The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition, including in the following respects:

• Catastrophic loss of life due to natural or man-made disasters could cause us to pay benefits at higher levels and/or materially earlier than anticipated and could lead to unexpected changes in persistency rates.

• A natural or man-made disaster could result in losses in our investment portfolio or the failure of our counterparties to perform, or cause significant volatility in financial markets.

• A terrorist attack affecting financial institutions in the United States or elsewhere could negatively impact the financial services industry in general and our business operations, investment portfolio and profitability in particular. As previously reported, in August 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security identified our Newark, New Jersey facilities, along with those of several other financial institutions in New York and Washington, D.C., as possible targets of a terrorist attack.

• Pandemic disease, caused by a virus such as H5N1, the “avian flu” virus, or H1N1, the “swine flu” virus, could have a severe adverse effect on our business. The potential impact of such a pandemic on our results of operations and financial position is highly speculative, and would depend on numerous factors, including: in the case of the avian flu virus, the probability of the virus mutating to a form that can be passed easily from human to human; the effectiveness of vaccines and the rate of contagion; the regions of the world most affected; the effectiveness of treatment for the infected population; the rates of mortality and morbidity among various segments of the insured versus the uninsured population; the collectability of reinsurance; the possible macroeconomic effects of a pandemic on the Company’s asset portfolio; the effect on lapses and surrenders of existing policies, as well as sales of new policies; and many other variables.

Owners of the Contracts may participate by allocating all or part of the net premiums or purchase payments to the Real Property Account. Contract values vary with the performance of the Real Property Account’s investments through the Partnership. Participating interests in the Real Property Account are not traded in any public market; therefore a discussion of market information is not relevant.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

All of the assets of the Real Property Account, or the “Account” are invested in the Partnership. Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the Account are contingent upon those of the Partnership. Therefore, this management’s discussion and analysis addresses these items at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, or collectively, the “Partners”.

The following discussion and analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership and the related Notes included in this filing.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $24.5 million, a decrease of approximately $3.2 million from $27.7 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a distribution to the partners of $8.0 million, the repayment of a loan at the apartment investment in Atlanta, Georgia, and capital expenditures on existing properties, as discussed below. Partially offsetting this decrease were cash flows received from the Partnership’s operating activities, and proceeds from the sales of a retail investment in Roswell, Georgia and an outparcel at the retail investment in Dunn, North Carolina, as detailed below. Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, financings, and interest from short-term investments. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 12.0% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

The Partnership did not have any acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Partnership paid off an $8.7 million loan at the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia on October 1, 2009.

Dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2009 included the sale of two assets. On May 1, 2009, the Partnership sold the retail property in Roswell, Georgia, resulting in net proceeds of $9.7 million to the Partnership. On November 10, 2009, the Partnership sold an outparcel at the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina, resulting in net proceeds of $0.4 million to the Partnership.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Partnership spent approximately $3.4 million on capital improvements to various existing properties. Approximately $1.0 million was associated with tenant improvements, leasing expenses, and interior upgrades at the office property in Brentwood, Tennessee; approximately $1.0 million funded tenant improvements, leasing expenses, and interior upgrades at the office property in Lisle, Illinois; approximately $0.4 million contributed to the renovation of the hotel property in Lake Oswego, Oregon; and approximately $0.4 million financed exterior repair and interior renovation at the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia. The remaining $0.6 million was associated with minor capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing expenses related to other properties in the Partnership.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008.

Net investment income overview

The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $7.3 million, a decrease of approximately $3.9 million from the prior year. The decrease in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was attributable to declines in every sector’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest ranging from approximately $1.6 million to $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from the prior year, as depicted in the table on the following page. Partially offsetting these decreases was a decrease in other income losses of approximately $0.2 million from the prior year. The components of this net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by investment type.

Valuation overview

The Partnership recognized a loss on real estate investments sold attributable to the general partners’ controlling interests of approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with no gain/(loss) on real estate investments sold attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the prior year. The Partnership recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $41.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $44.2 million for the prior year. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $41.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to valuation declines in every sector primarily due to increased investment rates suggesting an industry-wide repricing. Investment rates include direct and terminal capitalization rates, and discount rates, which reflect investors’ yield requirements on investments. The increase in investment rates was caused by the national economic downturn, frozen credit markets, weakening market fundamentals, and deteriorated demand for commercial real estate. The components of these valuation losses are discussed below by investment type.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million from the prior year. The decrease in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily the result of (a) a $0.8 million decrease at the property in Brentwood, Tennessee due to a decrease in occupancy and free rent given to the largest existing tenant; and (b) a $0.7 million decrease at the property in Lisle, Illinois due to a decrease in occupancy. These decrease were partially offset by an increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest at the property in Beaverton, Oregon due to increased contract rents.

Unrealized gain /(loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $15.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $6.7 million for the prior year. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to increased investment rates and more conservative market leasing assumptions across the office sector that caused each property to decline in value. Specifically, this contributed to the net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $2.6 million and $3.2 million at the properties in Beaverton, Oregon and Brentwood, Tennessee, respectively. In addition, prolonged free rent and significant leasing costs associated with the renewal of the property’s largest tenant at the property in Brentwood, Tennessee resulted in decreased cash flows, which contributed to its net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $6.0 million. Finally, at the office property in Lisle, Illinois, notification from the property’s largest tenant of its intent to vacate upon lease expiration in January 2009 resulted in decreased projected cash flows, which contributed to its net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.8 million.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million from the prior year. The decrease in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to decreased contract rents and increased concessions at the apartment properties in Raleigh, North Carolina; Austin, Texas; and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Unrealized gain/(loss)

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $12.3 million for the prior year. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to increased investment rates and more conservative market leasing assumptions across the apartment sector that caused each property to decline in value.

⁽²⁾ The Kansas City, Kansas retail property was sold on June 29, 2007 but certain post-closing adjustments were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

⁽³⁾ A portion of the Dunn, North Carolina retail property was sold on November 12, 2009, which is reflected as a realized gain/(loss).

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million from the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to (a) loss of operating income from the Roswell, Georgia retail property sold on May 1, 2009; (b) increased vacancy and reduced rents at the Hampton, Virginia retail property; and (d) a one-time occurrence related to bad debt expense at the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina. Partially offsetting these losses was an increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest at the property in Ocean City, Maryland due to completion of renovation and increased occupancy over the course of the year.

Recognized and Unrealized gain /(loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net recognized and unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $17.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $23.9 million for the prior year. The net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to increased investment rates and more conservative market leasing assumptions across the retail sector based on declining retail property fundamentals and decreased national consumption, which caused each property to decline in value. The net recognized and unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was also partially attributable to the $4.5 million loss recorded at the retail property in Roswell, Georgia upon sale on May 1, 2009.

Net investment income

Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, reflecting a decrease of approximately $0.6 million from the prior year due to lost occupancy and decreased revenue per available room.

Unrealized gain /(loss)

The hotel property owned by the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared with an unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.3 million for the prior year. The unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 reflects increased investment rates and decreased average daily rate growth projections.

17

Other

Other net investment loss decreased approximately $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 from the prior year. Other net investment loss includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses.

(c) Inflation

A majority of the Partnership’s leases with its commercial tenants provide for recoveries of expenses based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which may partially reduce the Partnership’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “U.S. GAAP”, requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Management reviews critical estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. If management determines, as a result of its consideration of facts and circumstances, that modifications in assumptions and estimates are appropriate, results of operations and financial position as reported in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership may change significantly.

The following sections discuss those critical accounting policies applied in preparing the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

The Partnership adopted the FASB interpretation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a partnership should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a partnership has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the financial position and result of operations of the Partnership.

In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures related to fair value measurements. This guidance does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this guidance could change current practices in determining fair value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership’s adoption effective January 1, 2008 did not have any material effect on the Partnership’s financial position and result of operations. Please refer to Notes 2D and 5 for details.

In February 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, which provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This guidance also amended certain provisions in the existing guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2008, however, the Partnership did not make a fair value option election for its existing debt. The Partnership’s adoption did not have any effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Please refer to Note 5 of the related Notes in this filing for details.

In December 2007, FASB revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, noncontrolling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations.

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance requires noncontrolling interests to be reported as a separate component of equity. It also changes the allocation of losses and accounting in step acquisitions. The provisions in this revision should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are required retrospectively for all periods presented. After the initial adoption, any retained noncontrolling equity investment as a result of a deconsolidation must be measured at fair value at the date of the deconsolidation. This guidance is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Pursuant to the Partnership’s adoption on January 1, 2009 of the revised guidance, the Partnership is presenting its noncontrolling interests as equity for all periods presented in the financial statements. Noncontrolling interests, previously reported as a liability, are now required to be reported as a separate component of equity on the balance sheet, and totaled $4.9 million December 31, 2008. In addition, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest, which was previously reported as an expense and reflected within Net Investment Income is now reported as a separate amount below

18

“Increase (decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations”, and totaled ($0.5) million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In April 2009, the FASB revised authoritative guidance for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This revision amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This revision also requires that the required annual disclosures for debt and equity securities be made for interim reporting periods. This revision does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This revision is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This guidance also amends the disclosure requirements in interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, if the acquisition date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period, the asset or liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date using the guidance in accounting for contingencies. This guidance also amends disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted this guidance within the interim period ending June 30, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events. Subsequent events are events that occur after balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance addresses the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events not addressed in other applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective with the interim period ending June 30, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated is provided in Note 2A of the related Notes in this filing.

In July 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification generally does not change the existing rules of U.S. GAAP but rather makes it easier to find and research U.S. GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics and aggregates them in four common accounting areas. Topics within each category are further broken down into subtopics, sections and paragraphs. Accounting standards that are included in the Codification will be considered authoritative whereas those that are not included will be deemed non-authoritative. As a result, there are two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the way the Partnership references U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share including certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. This guidance allows companies to determine the fair value of such investments using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient if the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable and the investee entity issues financial statements in accordance with measurement principles for investment companies. Use of this practical expedient is prohibited if it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. This guidance also requires new disclosures for each major category of alternative investments. It is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period ending after December 15, 2009,

19

with early application permitted. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that clarifies existing guidance on accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership of a subsidiary that is a business. The updated guidance states that a decrease in ownership applies to a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, but does not apply to a sale of in-substance real estate even if it involves a business, such as an ownership interest in a partnership whose only asset is operating real estate. This guidance also affects accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business for an equity interest in another entity. The updated guidance also expands disclosures about fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. The updated guidance is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009, and is applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that the Partnership adopted the existing guidance, which was as of January 1, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this updated guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

Valuation of Investments

Real Estate Investments - Real estate investments are carried at fair value. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition.

In general fair value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”), is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to come up with the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; real estate investments are classified as Level 3 (see Note 5 of the related Notes in this filing for detail) under the FASB authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships and preferred equity investments are carried at fair value and are generally valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnerships' financial statements with properties valued as described above. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at the original investment amount, plus or minus additional amounts invested or distributed, and is subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, including unrealized appreciation and depreciation, from the partnership.

As described above, the estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is generally determined through an appraisal process. Recent disruptions in the global capital, credit and real estate markets have led to, among other things a decline in the volume of transaction activity, in the fair value of many real estate and real estate related investments, and a contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. The decline in liquidity and prices of real estate and real estate related investments, as well as the availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may have made it more difficult to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, these estimated fair values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. These differences could be material to the financial statements. Although the estimated fair values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated fair values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

20

Other Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk – The Partnership’s exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 33.10% of its investment portfolio as of December 31, 2009, which consists primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. In accordance with its policy, the Partnership places its investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to maturity except under unusual circumstances.

The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the Partnership’s cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2009:

	Maturity	Estimated Market Value         (in $ millions)	Average Interest Rate
Cash and Cash equivalents	0-3 months	$    24.5	1.10%

The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of December 31, 2009. All of the Partnership’s long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

Investment level debt (in $ thousands) including current portion	2010	2011	2012	2013	2014	Thereafter	Total	Estimated Fair Value
Weighted Average Fixed Interest Rate	6.75%	6.75%	6.75%	6.75%	6.75%	6.75%	6.75%
Fixed Rate	$565	$604	$646	$692	$676	$3,573	$6,756	$6,658
Variable Rate	-	15,071	-	9,000	-	-	24,071	24,008
Premium/(Discount) on Investment Level Debt	(2)	-	-			-	(2)	-
Total Investment Level Debt	$563	$15,675	$646	$9,692	$676	$3,573	$30,825	$30,666

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from tenants. While the Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of significant increases in interest rates and/or an economic downturn, delinquencies could increase and result in losses to the Partnership and the Account that could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Prudential is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2009, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework Issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment under that framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by or under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Contract Owners of

The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account

and the Board of Directors of

The Prudential Insurance Company of America

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of The Prudential Insurance Company of America. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

December 31, 2009

Note 1: General

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

The assets of the Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the sole investors in the Partnership. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Partnership.

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

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

A. Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this guidance could change current practices in determining fair value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Account’s adoption effective January 1, 2008 did not have any material effect on the Account’s financial position and result of operations. See Note 9 for more information on “Fair Value Measurements”.

In February 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, which provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This guidance also amended certain provisions in the existing guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Account adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2008. The Account’s adoption has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, FASB revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, non controlling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Account adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

December 31, 2009

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance will change the accounting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified by the parent company as a component of equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. Upon adoption, the guidance requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests and prospective adoption for all other requirements. The adoption of this guidance has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB revised authoritative guidance on issued recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This revision amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This revision also requires that the required annual disclosures for debt and equity securities be made for interim reporting periods. This revision does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This revision is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Account’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This guidance also amends the disclosure requirements in interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Account’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, if the acquisition date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period, the asset or liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date using the guidance in accounting for contingencies. This guidance also amends disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The Account adopted this guidance within the interim period ending June 30, 2009. The Account’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification generally does not change the existing rules of U.S. GAAP but rather makes it easier to find and research U.S. GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics and aggregates them in four common accounting areas. Topics within each category are further broken down into subtopics, sections and paragraphs. Accounting standards that are included in the Codification will be considered authoritative whereas those that are not included will be deemed non-authoritative. As a result, there are two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and impacts the way the Account references U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This guidance includes techniques for measuring fair value when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available and clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of its fair value. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT

December 31, 2009

In September 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share including certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. This guidance allows companies to determine the fair value of such investments using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient if the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable and the investee entity issues financial statements in accordance with measurement principles for investment companies. Use of this practical expedient is prohibited if it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. This guidance also requires new disclosures for each major category of alternative investments. It is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. The Account’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that clarifies existing guidance on accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership of a subsidiary that is a business. The updated guidance states that a decrease in ownership applies to a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, but does not apply to a sale of in-substance real estate even if it involves a business, such as an ownership interest in a partnership whose only asset is operating real estate. This guidance also affects accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business for an equity interest in another entity. The updated guidance also expands disclosures about fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. The updated guidance is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009, and is applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that the Account adopted the existing guidance, which was as of January 1, 2009. The Account’s adoption of this updated guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Account’s financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

B. Investment in Partnership Interest

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the Account’s interest in the Partnership was 40.6% or 2,626,531 shares and 40.6% or 2,741,864 shares, respectively. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

C. Income Recognition

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

D. Equity of The Prudential Insurance Company of America

Prudential maintains a position in the Account for liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not affect contract owners’ accounts or the related unit values.

Note 3: Taxes

Prudential is taxed as a “life insurance company”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The results of operations of the Account form a part of PFI’s consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements.

Note 8: Financial Highlights

Prudential sells a number of variable annuity and variable life insurance products. These products have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the contract owner’s account balance. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns.

The following table was developed by determining which products offered by Prudential have the lowest and highest total expense ratio. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by the Company as contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options as discussed in Note 1. The table reflects contract owner units only.

The table above reflects information for units held by contract owners. Prudential also maintains a position in the Real Property Account, to provide for property acquisitions and capital expenditure funding needs. Prudential held 11,399,580, 11,599,873, 10,452,719, 9,807,865 and 10,086,116 units representing $21,450,733, $26,884,019, $28,200,465, $24,772,123 and $22,480,400 of net assets as of December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Charges for mortality risk, expense risk and administrative expenses are used by Prudential to purchase additional units in its account resulting in no impact to its net assets.

* This amount represents the proportionate share of the net investment income from the underlying Partnership divided by the total average assets of the Account. This ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality risk, expense risk and administrative charges that result in direct reductions in the unit values.

** These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Partnership are excluded.

*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Partnership, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expense assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

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 1.2%, 0.9%, 0.6% and 1.2% for PDISCO+, PVAL, PVAL $100,000 + face value and VIP, respectively. Mortality risk is the risk that life insurance contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and expense risk is the risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may exceed related charges by Prudential. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.

B. Cost of Insurance and Other Related Charges

Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being invested in the Account. The deductions for PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value are (1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges, up to 0.50%, which are deducted in order to compensate Prudential for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs which are deducted from each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are subject to charges on each basic premium for assuming a guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. This charge compensates Prudential for the risk that an insured may die at a time when the death benefit exceeds the benefit that would have been payable in the absence of a minimum guarantee. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

C. Deferred Sales Charge

A deferred sales charge, applicable to PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value and not to exceed 50% of the first year’s primary annual premium for PVAL contracts, is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Prudential for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued. No sales charge will be imposed after the tenth year of the contract. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits.

Also a deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawals of certain purchase payments to compensate Prudential for sales and other marketing expenses for PDISCO+ and VIP. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the amount withdrawn and the number of contract years that have elapsed since the contract owner or annuitant made the purchase payments deemed to be withdrawn. No sales charge is made against the withdrawal of investment income. A reduced sales charge is imposed in connection with the withdrawal of a purchase payment to affect an annuity if three or more contract years have elapsed since the contract date, unless the annuity affected is an annuity certain. No sales charge is imposed upon death benefit payments or upon transfers made between subaccounts. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

D. Partial Withdrawal Charge

A charge is imposed by Prudential on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a contract. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

E. Annual Maintenance Charge

An annual maintenance charge, applicable to PDISCO+ and VIP, of $30 will be deducted if and only if the contract fund is less than $10,000 on a contract anniversary or at the time a full withdrawal is effected, including a withdrawal to effect an annuity. The charge is made by reducing accumulation units credited to a contract owner’s account.

Note 9: Related Party

Prudential and its affiliates perform various services on behalf of the Partnership in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder communications, preparation, postage, fund transfer agency and various other record keeping and customer service functions.

Note 10:   Fair Value Disclosure

FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value which approximates the Partnership’s net asset value. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value from property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the one most heavily relied upon is the one then recognized as the most appropriate by the independent appraiser for the type of real estate in the market.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; the underlying investments in the Partnership are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

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

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of

The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of real estate investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”) at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of The Prudential Insurance Company of America. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2C to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership changed its accounting, presentation and disclosure for non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in 2009.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

For Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007

Note 1:  Organization

On April 29, 1988, The 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 Partners may make additional daily cash contributions to or withdrawals from the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

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.

The per share net asset 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 fair value of its assets, principally as described in Notes 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D below, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D below 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 The 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 per share net asset value of the Partnership’s net assets. Per share net asset value is calculated by dividing the net asset 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.

PREI ® is the real estate advisory unit of Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial Inc. (“PFI”). PREI provides investment advisory services to the Partnership’s partners pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement as described in Note 11.

Note 2:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

C. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted - The Partnership adopted the FASB interpretation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a partnership should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a partnership has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the financial position and result of operations of the Partnership.

In September 2006, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures related to fair value measurements. This guidance does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this guidance could change current practices in determining fair value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership’s adoption effective January 1, 2008 did not have any material effect on the Partnership’s financial position and result of operations. Please refer to Notes 2D and 5 for details.

In February 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities, which provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This guidance also amended certain provisions in the existing guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2008, however, the Partnership did not make a fair value option election for its existing debt. The Partnership’s adoption did not have any effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Please refer to Note 5 for details.

In December 2007, FASB revised authoritative guidance for business combinations, which expands the definition of a business and redefines the acquisition date in a merger and acquisition transaction. It significantly modifies the existing guidance for business combinations, including changes to acquisition related contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, noncontrolling interest, restructuring costs, in-process R&D, goodwill and partial acquisition. This guidance is effective for acquisitions closing after the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations.

In December 2007, FASB revised the accounting, presentation and disclosure for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This revised guidance requires noncontrolling interests to be reported as a separate component of equity. It also changes the allocation of losses and accounting in step acquisitions. The provisions in this revision should be applied prospectively except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which are required retrospectively for all periods presented. After the initial adoption, any retained noncontrolling equity investment as a result of a deconsolidation must be measured at fair value at the date of the deconsolidation. This guidance is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Pursuant to the Partnership’s adoption on January 1, 2009 of the revised guidance, the Partnership is presenting its noncontrolling interests as equity for all periods presented in the financial statements. Noncontrolling interests, previously reported as a liability, are now required to be reported as a separate component of equity on the balance sheet, and totaled $4.9 million December 31, 2008. In addition, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest, which was previously reported as an expense and reflected within Net Investment Income is now reported as a separate amount below “Increase (decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations”, and totaled ($0.5) million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

C. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted (continued)

In April 2009, the FASB revised authoritative guidance on issued recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments. This revision amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands the presentation and disclosure requirements of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This revision also requires that the required annual disclosures for debt and equity securities be made for interim reporting periods. This revision does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. This revision is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. This guidance also amends the disclosure requirements in interim and annual periods. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Partnership’s early adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. This guidance requires an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency to be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, if the acquisition date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value of an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency cannot be determined during the measurement period, the asset or liability shall be recognized at the acquisition date using the guidance in accounting for contingencies. This guidance also amends disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted this guidance within the interim period ending June 30, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for subsequent events. Subsequent events are events that occur after balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance addresses the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events not addressed in other applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), including disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This guidance is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective with the interim period ending June 30, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated is provided in Note 2A.

C. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted (continued)

In July 2009, the FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), as the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The Codification generally does not change the existing rules of U.S. GAAP but rather makes it easier to find and research U.S. GAAP applicable to a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and organizes them by approximately ninety accounting topics and aggregates them in four common accounting areas. Topics within each category are further broken down into subtopics, sections and paragraphs. Accounting standards that are included in the Codification will be considered authoritative whereas those that are not included will be deemed non-authoritative. As a result, there are two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for financial statements that cover the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will impact the way the Partnership references U.S. GAAP accounting standards in the financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share including certain alternative investments such as hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. This guidance allows companies to determine the fair value of such investments using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient if the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable and the investee entity issues financial statements in accordance with measurement principles for investment companies. Use of this practical expedient is prohibited if it is probable the investment will be sold at something other than NAV. This guidance also requires new disclosures for each major category of alternative investments. It is effective for the first annual or interim reporting period ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. The Partnership’s adoption of this guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that clarifies existing guidance on accounting and reporting by an entity that experiences a decrease in ownership of a subsidiary that is a business. The updated guidance states that a decrease in ownership applies to a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, but does not apply to a sale of in-substance real estate even if it involves a business, such as an ownership interest in a partnership whose only asset is operating real estate. This guidance also affects accounting and reporting by an entity that exchanges a group of assets that constitutes a business for an equity interest in another entity. The updated guidance also expands disclosures about fair value measurements relating to retained investments in a deconsolidated subsidiary or a preexisting interest held by an acquirer in a business combination. The updated guidance is effective in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009, and is applied on a retrospective basis to the first period that the Partnership adopted the existing guidance, which was as of January 1, 2009. The Partnership’s adoption of this updated guidance effective December 31, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or financial statement disclosures.

D. Real Estate Investments - Real estate investments are carried at fair value. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition.

D. Real Estate Investments (continued)

In general fair value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of PIM, which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of PFI, is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to come up with the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; real estate investments are classified as Level 3 (see Note 5 for detail) under the FASB authoritative guidance for fair value measurements.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships and preferred equity investments are carried at fair value and are generally valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnerships’ financial statements with properties valued as described above. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at the original investment amount, plus or minus additional amounts invested or distributed, and is subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, including unrealized appreciation and depreciation, from the partnership.

As described above, the estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is generally determined through an appraisal process. Recent disruptions in global capital, credit and real estate markets have led to, among other things, a decline in the volume of transaction activity, in the fair value of many real estate and real estate related investments, and a contraction in short-term and long-term debt and equity funding sources. The decline in liquidity and prices of real estate and real estate related investments, as well as the availability of observable transaction data and inputs, may have made it more difficult to determine the fair value of such investments. As a result, these estimated fair values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. These differences could be material to the financial statements. Although the estimated fair values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated fair values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Note 2:     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

E. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalent are comprised of all short-term investments and investments in money market funds with a maximum maturity of three months. Cash equivalents consist of investments in the Prudential Investment Liquidity Pool offered and managed by an affiliate of PFI and are accounted for at fair value.

F. Other Assets – Restricted cash of $115,711 and $207,343 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for tenant security deposits and is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other assets also include tenant receivables and are net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,083,235 and $1,028,539 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

G. Investment Level Debt – Investment level includes mortgage loan payable on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships and is stated at the principal amount of the obligations outstanding. At times the Partnership may assume debt in connection with the purchase of real estate. For debt assumed, the Partnership allocates a portion of the purchase price to the below/above market debt and amortizes the premium/discount over the remaining life of the debt. Deferred financing costs related to debt were capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related obligations.

H. Revenue and Expense Recognition - Revenue from real estate is recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. Operating expenses are recognized as incurred. Revenue from certain real estate investments is net of all or a portion of related real estate expenses, as lease arrangements vary as to responsibility for payment of these expenses between tenants and the Partnership. Since real estate investments are stated at estimated fair value, net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense. Interest expenses are accrued periodically based on the contractual interest rate and terms of the loans, which approximates the effective interest method. Interest expenses are included in Net Investment Income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

I. Equity in Income of Real Estate Partnerships - Equity in income of real estate partnerships represents the Partnership’s share of the current year’s partnership income as provided for under the terms of the partnership agreements. As is the case with real estate investments, partnerships’ net income are not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense. Frequency of distribution of income is determined by formal agreements or by the executive committee of the partnership. Any cash in excess of the amount of income generated from the underlying joint venture is treated as a return of the Partnership’s equity investment.

J. 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.

Note 5:  Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements:

FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. This guidance provides a three-level hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation process. The level in the fair values hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows;

Level 1 – Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices inactive markets that are accessible to the entity for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2 – Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.

Level 3 – Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

For items classified as Level 3, a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, as shown in table 2 below, is also required.

Please refer to Note 2D for discussion of valuation methodology.

Note 6:  Investment Level Debt (continued)

The mortgage loans payable of wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships are secured by real estate investments with an estimated fair value of $58.2 million.

Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at December 31, 2009 for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the Partnership’s mortgages on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships have an estimated fair value of approximately $31 million, and a carrying value of $31 million. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect estimated fair value.

Note 7:  Financing, Covenant, and Repayment Risks

In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into loan agreements with certain lenders to finance its real estate investment transactions. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase related borrowing costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Partnership. There is no guarantee that the Partnership’s borrowing arrangements or ability to obtain leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Partnership. Further, these loan agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and various covenants and representations. In the normal course of business, the Partnership may be in the process of renegotiating terms for loans outstanding that have passed their maturity dates. At December 31, 2009 the Partnership had no outstanding matured loans.

A decline in market value of the Partnership’s assets may also have particular adverse consequences in instances where the Partnership borrowed money based on the fair value of specific assets. A decrease in market value of these assets may result in the lender requiring the Partnership to post additional collateral or otherwise repay these loans.

In the event the Partnership’s current investment obligations are not refinanced or extended when they become due and/or the Partnership is required to repay such borrowings and obligations, management anticipates that the repayment of these obligations will be provided by operating cash flow, new debt refinancing, and real estate investment sales.

Note 8:  Concentration of Risk on Real Estate Investments

Concentration of risk on real estate investments represents the risk associated with investments that are concentrated in certain geographic regions and industries. The Partnership mitigates this risk by diversifying its investments in various regions and different types of real estate investments. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the Partnership’s diversification on the types of real estate investments.

Note 10:  Commitments and Contingencies

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 were to be returned to Prudential on an ongoing basis from contract owners’ net contributions and other available cash. The amount of the commitment has been reduced by $10 million for every $100 million in current value net assets of the Partnership. As of December 31, 2009, the cost basis of Prudential’s equity was $44.2 million. Prudential terminated this commitment on December 31, 2002.

The Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. In the opinion of Partnership’s management, the outcome of such matters will not have a significant effect on the financial position of the Partnership.
