PART I

Item 1. Business

Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Real Property Account”), the Registrant, was established on October 30, 1987. The Real Property Account was established as a separate investment account of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“Pruco Life of New Jersey”), pursuant to New Jersey law. The Real Property Account was established to provide a real estate investment option offered in connection with the funding of benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey.

The assets of the Real Property Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership, a general partnership organized under New Jersey law on April 29, 1988, was formed through 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.

   
Office Properties – The Partnership owns office properties in Lisle, Illinois; Brentwood, Tennessee; and Beaverton, Oregon. Total square footage owned is approximately 370,550 of which 77%, or 283,975 square feet, are leased between 1 and 10 years.
     
   
Apartment Complexes – The Partnership owns apartment complexes in Atlanta, Georgia and Raleigh, North Carolina, comprising a total of 490 apartment units, of which 93%, or 454 units, are leased. Leases range from month to month to one year.
     
   
Retail Property – The Partnership owns retail centers in Roswell, Georgia; Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri; Ocean City, Maryland; and Hampton, Virginia. Total square footage owned is approximately 1,151,208 of which 88%, or 1,009,058 square feet, are leased between 1 and 30 years.
     
   
Industrial Properties – The Partnership owns an industrial property in Aurora, Colorado. Total square footage owned is approximately 277,930 of which 78%, or 216,474 square feet, are leased between 1 and 10 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 2005 averaged 76.5%.
     
   
Investment in Real Estate Trust – The Partnership liquidated its entire investment in REIT shares in December 2001. The Partnership does, however, maintain a preferred equity investment in an existing private REIT (see Item 7(a)).

The Partnership’s investments are maintained so as to meet the diversification requirements set forth in treasury regulations issued pursuant to Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the investments of variable life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts. Section 817(h) requires, among other things, that the partnership will have no more than 55% of the assets invested in any one investment, no more than 70% of the assets will be invested in any two investments, no more than 80% of the assets will be invested in any three investments, and no more than 90% of the assets will be invested in any four investments. To comply with regulatory requirements of the State of Arizona, the Partnership will limit additional investments in any one parcel or related parcels to an amount not exceeding 10% of the Partnership’s gross assets as of the prior fiscal year.

For information regarding the Partnership’s investments, operations, and other significant events, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The following is a description of general conditions in the U.S. real estate markets. 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 and returns to this section are not necessarily relevant to the Partnership’s portfolio. These results are not indicative of future performance.

Real Estate Market Overview

Space market fundamentals continued their gradual recovery in 2005 as vacancy rates fell across all property types and in most major markets. The gradual recovery and continued strong demand for property investments drove transaction volumes to record levels last year. All major property types saw increases in transaction volumes and pricing, and further declines in capitalization rates last year. According to the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (“NCREIF”), the NCREIF Property Index, which is the benchmark for unleveraged private institutional real estate investments in the U.S., gained 5.43% in the fourth quarter, pushing the index’s one-year total return to 20.06%.

Office Market

Healthier fundamentals in the office sector contributed to its improved performance last year. According to Torto Wheaton Research (TWR), a Boston-based real estate research firm, the average office vacancy rate fell to about 13.6% at the end of last year from 15.4% at year-end 2004. Suburban vacancy rates improved by a larger margin than downtown rates, falling about 2 percentage points year-over-year, but absorption of downtown space accelerated in the second half. At year-end, the average downtown vacancy rate was 11.8%, well below the 13.2% at the end of 2004.

Continued job growth and little risk of new supply rising over the next twelve months helped the NCREIF office subindex deliver one-year total returns of 19.46% in 2005, which included 11.96% appreciation and a one-year income return of 6.89%.

Apartment Market

Declining home affordability and continued job growth over the second half of 2005 are starting to improve apartment market fundamentals. Leasing concessions remain common, but vacancies fell modestly in many markets last year as the condo market claimed more apartment stock. The condo market has had both positive and negative consequences for apartment investors in recent years. Increasing condo supply has contributed to the fall in tenant demand for rental units. However, condo converters, investors who buy apartment and other properties for conversion to residential condominiums, have helped raise asset values by competing for multifamily assets. As a result, the apartment subindex of the NCREIF Property Index delivered a total return of 21.15% in 2005. The apartment return included 14.85% appreciation and a one-year income return of 5.69%.

Retail Market

Although space market fundamentals in the retail sector remained healthy throughout 2005, retail investment performance slowed relative to other property types after three consecutive years of dramatic outperformance. Total returns for retail properties in the NCREIF Property Index dipped below those for office properties in the second and third quarters of 2005 for the first time since the third quarter of 2001 as investors shifted their focus from retail to other sectors where the near-term prospects for rent growth and appreciation seem better. Despite the relatively weaker performance in 2005, retail market fundamentals remain attractive and retail cash yields (after deducting capital expenditures) remain the highest of any NCREIF property type.

The retail subindex returned 5.99% during the fourth quarter of 2005 and 19.98% for the year overall. Strong appreciation accounted for a large share of the sector’s total return in the fourth quarter (4.32%) and for the year as a whole (12.55%).

Industrial Market

The industrial sector experienced a sharp rise in tenant and investor demand last year. Industrial transaction volume surged to nearly $35 billion, according to Real Capital Analytics, a New York City-based real estate research firm, an increase of more than 55% above the total volume in 2004. Strong absorption in many industrial markets in 2005 likely contributed to the increase. According to TWR, the average vacancy rate for industrial properties fell 1.7 percentage points last year to about 9.7% at year-end, the lowest level since 3Q01.

The NCREIF industrial subindex delivered a 20.31% total return in 2005, which included 12.32% appreciation and a 7.32% income return.

Hotel Market

Although it remained the weakest of the NCREIF property types, the lodging industry continued its recovery in 2005 as demand rose further and new supply remained limited. According to Smith Travel Research (STR), a national lodging industry research firm, room demand rose more than 3% in 2005. With only a slight 0.4% increase in room supply nationally and stronger demand, particularly from business travelers, the national average hotel occupancy rate climbed to 63.1% from 61.3% in 2004. Hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR) also posted healthy gains in 2005 and has finally recovered to its peak reached in 2000, before the recession and terrorism caused demand to collapse.

The NCREIF hotel subindex delivered an 18.99% total return in 2005, which included 9.50% appreciation, the lowest among the five property subtypes in the NCREIF index, and an 8.89% income return, the highest in the index.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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, 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.

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.

As of December 31, 2005 approximately 2,481 contract owners of record held investments in the Real Property Account.

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

All of the assets of 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 (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 herein.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $45.5 million, an increase of approximately $27.9 million from $17.6 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to net sales proceeds of approximately $41.7 million, of which the Partnership received approximately $39.5 million in cash. Partially offsetting the increase were an initial preferred equity investment and additional funding of existing investments, as described below. Sources of liquidity include net cash flow from property operations, sales, financings and interest from short-term investments. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for distribution to its partners. As of December 31, 2005, 18.5% of the Partnership’s total gross assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

Dispositions for the year included the sale of an apartment complex located in Salem, Oregon, an office property located in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, an apartment complex located in Gresham, Oregon, and an apartment complex located in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition, the Partnership sold, prior to funding, a parcel of land located in Blue Springs, Missouri. The five investments sold for combined proceeds, prior to the repayment of debt and minority interest, of $55.1 million. A minority interest partner bought out the Partnership’s investment in the aforementioned Jacksonville, Florida consolidated real estate partnership resulting in net proceeds to the Partnership of $15.9 million. This transaction resulted in the assumption of a mortgage loan by the partner of approximately $10.0 million and a reduction of the partner’s minority interest of $3.7 million.

During 2005, the Partnership made an initial $7.1 million preferred equity investment in an existing private REIT, Capital Automotive, or “CARS”. CARS, owns approximately 364 properties, which are leased to sixty automobile dealership operators throughout the United States. This investment is structured with an annual preference rate of 7.5% for years one through five, 8.75% during years six and seven, and 12% for all subsequent years.

Also in 2005, the Partnership funded an additional $3.0 million to an existing Leasehold Mortgage Loan that was originated in January 2004 for the acquisition and redevelopment of a retail center in Westminster, Maryland. Since inception, approximately $4.3 million has been funded at an interest rate of 10% per annum.

The Partnership spent approximately $6.0 million on capital improvements to existing properties during 2005. Approximately $1.1 million was associated with the renovation of an apartment complex in Atlanta, Georgia, approximately $3.8 million with the renovation and redevelopment of a retail center in Roswell, Georgia, and approximately $0.5 million with the renovation of a hotel property in Lake Oswego, Oregon. The remaining $0.6 million was associated with minor capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing at various other properties.

(b) Results of Operations

The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Net Investment Income Overview

The Partnership’s net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $9.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million from $7.8 million for the prior year period. The office and hotel sector investments posted increases of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, from the prior year period. Partially offsetting these increases for 2005 were decreases in net investment income in the apartment, retail and industrial sectors, which posted decreases of $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from the prior year period. Other net investment income increased $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 from the prior year period. Detail on the components of this net investment income are discussed below by property type sector.

Valuation Overview

The Partnership recorded an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $3.3 million for the prior year period.

The Partnership recorded an aggregate net realized gain of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to an aggregate net realized gain of $1.7 million for the prior year period. The realized gain for 2005 was recorded in the apartment and office sectors, which realized gains of $4.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. In addition, the aggregate net realized gain for 2005 includes approximately $0.6 million of gain realized from the sale of a parcel of land located in Blue Springs, Missouri.

The Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized gain of $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to an aggregate net unrealized gain of $1.6 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain for 2005 was attributed to valuation gains in all property type sectors. Details of on the components of these valuation gains and/or losses are discussed below by property type sector.

Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Real Estate Investments Sold Overview

On November 28, 2005, the Partnership’s Blue Springs, Missouri land investment was sold, prior to funding, for $2.3 million, resulting in a realized gain of approximately $0.6 million.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1.0 million from the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to stabilized occupancy and increased market rents at both of the Partnership’s office assets in Brentwood, Tennessee. Partially offsetting these increases were (a) the loss of rent at the Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois office property that was sold on June 8, 2005, (b) a decrease in occupancy at the office property in Lisle, Illinois, and (c) increased expenses at the office property in Beaverton, Oregon.

Total Net Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to an aggregate net unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the prior year period. The 2005 gains were primarily due to (a) the sale of the office property in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois and (b) strengthening market fundamentals and increases in occupancy at the office properties located in Brentwood, Tennessee and Beaverton, Oregon. Partially offsetting these gains for 2005 was a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.1 million related to the office property in Lisle, Illinois.

Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2005 reflects partial period results for the apartment properties in Salem, Oregon, Gresham, Oregon and Jacksonville, Florida that were sold on March 10, 2005, August 10, 2005 and November 30, 2005, respectively. Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2004 reflects results for four apartment properties located in Salem and Gresham, Oregon, two of which were sold on December 14, 2004.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to (a) increased expenses, rental concessions and interest incurred for a mortgage loan placed in September 2004 for the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia and (b) the loss of rent at the apartment property in Jacksonville, Florida that was sold on November 30, 2005. Partially offsetting the decrease was (a) an increase in net investment income for the apartment properties in Gresham/Salem, Oregon due to a diminution of mortgage interest expense resulting from the prepayment of debt on the properties and (b) reduced expenses at the apartment property in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Total Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The Partnership recorded an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to a net realized and unrealized gain of $1.1 million for the prior year period. The 2005 gains in the Partnership’s apartment sector were primarily due to (a) continued investor demand for apartment property types that resulted in a net unrealized gain of approximately $1.1 million related to the Raleigh, North Carolina property and (b) the sales of one apartment complex in Salem, Oregon and one apartment complex in Jacksonville, Florida. Partially offsetting these gains was a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million related to the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia attributable to capital expended in connection with the completion of an exterior redevelopment that did not result in value gains.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s retail properties was $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $0.3 million from the prior year period. The decrease in net investment income was primarily due to (a) increased expenses at the retail centers in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri, (b) increased vacancy at the retail center in Ocean City, Maryland and (c) interest income received the prior year in connection with the loan made by the Partnership to the retail center in Westminster, Maryland that was paid in full on September 13, 2004. Partially offsetting the decrease was (a) an increase in net investment income at the retail center in Roswell, Georgia due to higher occupancy resulting from the opening of an anchor retailer, Publix, (b) interest income received in connection with the mortgage loan made by the Partnership to the retail center in Westminster, Maryland in January 2004 and (c) income received from the preferred equity investment made by the partnership on December 16, 2005.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The retail properties recorded an aggregate net unrealized gain of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to an aggregate net unrealized gain of $2.1 million for the prior year period. The 2005 unrealized gains were primarily due to (a) continued investor demand for retail centers that resulted in combined net unrealized gains of $6.4 million at the Hampton, Virginia and Ocean City, Maryland properties and (b) the completion of a redevelopment at the retail center in Roswell, Georgia that recorded a net unrealized gain of approximately $1.7 million. Partially offsetting these gains was a net unrealized loss of $5.1 million recorded at the retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. The retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri were marketed for sale during 2005 which resulted in a value decline of $5.1 million reflective of offers received in connection with the marketing efforts and an estimate of the prepayment penalties related to the existing debt.

The Bolingbrook, Illinois and Salt Lake City, Utah industrial properties were sold in September 2002 and January 2003, respectively, but certain post-closing adjustments were incurred in 2004.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s industrial property was $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $0.3 million from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in occupancy as a result of a 2004 lease termination at the Partnership’s Aurora, Colorado industrial property.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The Aurora, Colorado industrial property owned by the Partnership recorded a net unrealized gain of approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.2 million for the prior year period. The 2005 net unrealized gain was primarily due to investor demand for this product type.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s hotel property was $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $0.5 million from the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased occupancy and higher average daily rates generated at the hotel during 2005, compared to the prior year period.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The Lake Oswego, Oregon hotel property recorded a net unrealized gain of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to a net unrealized gain of approximately $0.1 million for the prior year period. The 2005 net unrealized gain was primarily due to strengthening market fundamentals and benefits associated with completion of a renovation.

Other

The Blue Springs, Missouri land investment owned by the Partnership realized a net gain of approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Partnership sold this land investment, prior to funding, for $2.3 million on November 28, 2005.

Other net investment income increased $0.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 from the prior year period. Other net investment income included interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses.

(c) Inflation

The Partnership’s leases with a majority of 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 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.

Valuation of Investments

Real Estate Investments — Real estate investments are shown at estimated market value in accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s contracts. 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. Market 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 (“PIM”) is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property market value estimates. American Appraisal Associates (the “Appraisal Management Firm”), an entity not affiliated with PIM, has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. Unless a property is currently held for sale, the market value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnership’s 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 underlying entity.

Land and redevelopment properties held for future development via a forward contract are carried at cost plus cost incurred to hold the land and redevelopment properties as stated in the take out provisions of the contract.

As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2005, and 2004.

Back to Contents

Other Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 40.37% (as of December 31, 2005) of its investment portfolio consisting primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. By policy, the Partnership places its investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to maturity except under 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, 2005:

    Maturity   Estimated Market Value
(in $ millions)
  Average
Interest Rate
 
   

 

 

 
Cash and Cash equivalents
    0-3 months   $ 45.5     3.83%  

The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of December 31, 2005. 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 (in thousands) based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

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 would adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     

To the Contract Owners of the
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account
and the Board of Directors of
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account at December 31, 2005 and 2004, 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, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey; 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, which included confirmation of shares at December 31, 2005 with The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
December 31, 2005

Note 1:
General
   
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (“Account”) was established on October 30, 1987 by resolution of the Board of Directors of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“Pruco Life of New Jersey”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), a 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. The assets of the Account are segregated from Pruco Life of New Jersey’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey. These products are Appreciable Life (“VAL”), Variable Life (“VLI”), Discovery Plus (“SPVA”), and Discovery Life Plus (“SPVL”).
   
The assets of the 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 annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the sole investors in the Partnership. 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
   
A. Basis of Accounting
   
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
B. Investment in Partnership Interest
   
The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s market value. At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Account’s interest in the Partnership was 4.3% or 301,619 shares and 4.3% or 309,093 shares respectively.
   
C. Income Recognition
   
Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily. Amounts are based upon the Account’s proportionate interest in the Partnership.
   
D. Equity of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey
   
Pruco Life of New Jersey maintains a position in the 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
   
Pruco Life 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.

Pruco Life of New Jersey held 804,224 875,413, 901,524, 1,393,587 and 1,304,664 units representing $2,112,648, $ 2,040,688, $1,993,278, $3,036,542 and $2,826,338 of net assets as of December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Charges for mortality risk, expense risk and administrative expenses are used by Pruco Life of New Jersey to purchase additional units in its account resulting in no impact of 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 and expense 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 0.6%, 0.35%, 0.9% and 0.9% for VAL, VLI, SPVA, SPVL, respectively. Mortality risk is that life insurance contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and expense risk is that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may exceed related charges by Pruco Life of New Jersey. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.
   
B. Administrative Charges
   
Administrative charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 0.35% applied daily against the net assets representing equity of contract owners held in each subaccount for SPVA and SPVL. Administrative charges include costs associated with issuing the contract, establishing and maintaining records, and providing reports to contract owners. The administrative charge is assessed through reduction in unit values.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
December 31, 2005

C. Cost of Insurance and Other Related Charges
   
Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being invested in the Real Property Account. The deductions for VAL and VLI are (1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges, not to exceed 5% for VAL and 9% for VLI, which are deducted in order to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs, applicable to VAL, are deducted from each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are also subject to monthly charges for the costs of administering the contract to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for the guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. These charges are assesseed through the redemption of units.
   
D. Deferred Sales Charge
   
Subsequent to a contract owner redemption, a deferred sales charge is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued but will not exceed 45% of one scheduled annual premium for VAL contracts and 9% of the initial premium payment for SPVL. No sales charge will be imposed after the sixth and tenth year of the contract for SPVL and VAL, respectively. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits. A deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units.
   
E. Partial Withdrawal Charge
   
A charge is imposed by Pruco Life of New Jersey on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for VAL. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a contract. A charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
For Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003

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 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 estimated market value of the Partnership’s shares is determined daily, consistent with the Partnership Agreement. On each day during which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, the net asset value of the Partnership is estimated using the estimated market value of its assets, principally as described in Notes 2A, 2B and 2C below, reduced by any liabilities of the Partnership. The periodic adjustments to property values described in Notes 2A, 2B and 2C 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 share value of the Partnership’s net assets. Share value is calculated by dividing the estimated market value of net assets of the Partnership as determined above by the number of shares outstanding. A contract owner participates in the Partnership through interests in the Real Property Accounts.
   
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 10.
   
Note 2:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     
  A:
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been presented on the market value basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements of Partnership include wholly owned entities, and those real estate partnerships in which the Partnership has a controlling interest. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     
  B:
Management’s Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
For Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003

Note 2:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
  C:
Real Estate Investments – Real estate investments are shown at estimated market value in accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s contracts. 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. Market 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 is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property market value estimates. American Appraisal Associates (the “Appraisal Management Firm”), an entity not affiliated with PIM, has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. Unless a property is currently held for sale, the market value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.
     
   
Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are 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 underlying entity.
     
   
Land and redevelopment properties held for future development via a forward contract are carried at cost plus cost incurred to hold the land and redevelopment properties as stated in the take out provisions of the contract.
     
   
As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of December 31, 2005, and 2004.
     
  D:
Other Real Estate Investments – Other real estate investments include short term notes receivable, which are valued at the amount due and approximate market value.
     
  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 market value.
     
  F:
Marketable Securities – Marketable securities are highly liquid investments with maturities of more than three months when purchased and are carried at estimated market value.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
For Years Ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003

Note 2:
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     
  G:
Other Assets – Cash of $156,268 and $212,989 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for tenant security deposits and is included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other assets also includes tenant receivable and is net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $51,162 and $46,690 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
   
 
  H: Investment Level Debt – Investment level debt 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.
     
  I:
Deferred Financing Costs – Included in Other Assets are deferred financing costs amounting to $246,495 and $391,666 which are net of accumulated amortization of $80,227 and $878,316 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and which are being amortized over the term of the related obligation.
     
  J:
Revenue Recognition – Revenue from real estate is recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. 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 is stated at estimated market value, net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense.
     
  K:
Equity in Income of Real Estate Partnership – Equity in income from real estate partnership operations 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 wholly owned real estate, partnership net income is 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.
     
  L:
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.
     
  M.
New Accounting Pronouncements – FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, (“FIN 46”) was issued in January 2003. In December 2003, FASB issued a revised interpretation of FIN 46 (“FIN 46-R”), which supersedes FIN 46.
     
   
FIN 46-R defers the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN-46 for those companies currently accounting for their investments in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, “Audits of Investment Companies” (the “Audit Guide”). The effective date is delayed while the AICPA finalizes the proposed Statement of Position (“SOP”) on the clarification of the scope of the Audit Guide. Following the issuance of the final SOP, the FASB will consider modifying FIN 46-R to provide an exception for companies that apply the Audit Guide. The Partnership is awaiting the final determination from the FASB in order to evaluate the extent in which, if any, its equity investments may need to be consolidated as a result of this FIN 46-R.
   
Note 3:
Disclosure of Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity
   
Cash paid for interest during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $2,324,397, $2,595,651, and $2,462,387, respectively.
   
During the fourth quarter of 2005, a minority interest partner bought out the Account’s investment in a consolidated real estate partnership resulting in net proceeds of $15.9 million. This transaction resulted in the assumption of a mortgage loan by the partner of approximately $10.0 million and a reduction of the partner’s minority interest of $3.7 million.

Note 5:
Investment Level Debt (continued)
   
Based on borrowing rates available to the Partnership at December 31, 2005 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 $33.8 million, and a carrying value of $33.2 million.

Certain purchases of real estate are contingent on a developer building the real estate according to plans and specifications outlined in the pre-sale agreement or the property achieving a certain level of leasing. It is anticipated that funding will be provided by operating cash flow, real estate investment sales and deposits from the Partnership.

Note 9:
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, 2005, the cost basis of Prudential’s equity interest in the Partnership under this commitment (held through the Real Property Accounts) 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 Prudential’s management, the outcome of such matters will not have a significant effect on the financial position of the Partnership.
   
Note 10:
Other Related Party Transactions
   
Pursuant to an investment management agreement, PIM charges the Partnership a daily investment management fee at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily gross asset valuation of the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 management fees incurred by the Partnership were $2.8 million, $2.7 million, and $2.5 million for each of the years, respectively.
