NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
JUNE 30, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: GENERAL
The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account ("Real Property Account")
was established on November 20, 1986 by resolution of the Board of Directors of
The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), which is
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 Real Property Account are segregated
from Prudential's other assets. The Real Property 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 Real Property 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 Real
Property 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
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.
The interim financial data as of June 30, 2004 and for the six and three months
ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods.
B. INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
The investment in the Partnership is based on the Real Property Account's
proportionate interest of the Partnership's market value. At June 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003 the Real Property Account's interest in the Partnership was
40.6% or 2,986,942 shares.
C. INCOME RECOGNITION
Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are
recognized daily. Amounts are based upon the Real Property Account's
proportionate interest in the Partnership.
D. EQUITY OF THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
Prudential maintains a position in the Real Property Account for liquidity
purposes including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share
transactions, and expense processing. The position does not have an effect on
the contract owner's account or the related unit value.
5
NOTE 3: 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 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 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 Real Property 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 also subject to
monthly charges for the costs of administering the contract to compensate
Prudential for the guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. 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%, 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
effect an annuity if three or more contract years have elapsed since the
contract date, unless the annuity effected is an annuity certain. No sales
charge is imposed upon death benefit payments or upon transfers made between
subaccounts. A 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. A 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.
6
NOTE 4: TAXES
Prudential is taxed as a "life insurance company" as defined by the Internal
Revenue Code. The results of operations of the Real Property Account form a part
of PFI's consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal law, no federal
income taxes are payable by the Real Property Account. As such, no provision for
the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements.
NOTE 5: NET WITHDRAWALS BY CONTRACT OWNERS
Contract owner activity for the real estate investment option in The Prudential
Insurance Company of America's variable insurance and variable annuity products

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited financial statements included herein have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement
have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and notes thereto included in each Partner's December 31, 2003 Annual
Report on Form 10K.
Real estate investments are reported at their estimated fair market values.
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
FASB is currently considering modifying FIN 46-R to provide an exception for
companies that apply the Audit Guide. The Prudential Variable Contract Real
Property Partnership ("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 2: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 Partnership.
NOTE 3: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Pursuant to an investment management agreement, Prudential Investment Management
("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 six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 investment management fees incurred
by the Partnership were $1,283,932 and $1,186,192 respectively. For the three
months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 investment management fees incurred by the
Partnership were $648,231 and $608,606 respectively.
The Partnership also reimburses PIM for certain administrative services rendered
by PIM. The amounts incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
were $73,815 and $58,315 respectively, and are classified as administrative
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Administrative services
incurred by the Partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
were $44,657 and $29,157 respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
All of the assets of the Real Property Account (the "Account") are invested in
the Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the "Partnership").
Correspondingly, the liquidity, capital resources and results of operations for
the Real Property Account are contingent upon the Partnership. Therefore, all of
management's discussion of these items is at the Partnership level. The partners
in the Partnership are The Prudential Insurance Company of America, Pruco Life
Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (collectively,
the "Partners").
The following analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of
operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and the related Notes to the Financial Statements included elsewhere
herein.
(A) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2004, the Partnership's liquid assets consisting of cash and cash
equivalents were $12.7 million, a decrease of $6.2 million from $18.9 million at
December 31, 2003. The change in the Partnership's cash position was primarily
due to the following three items: additional fundings of $3.75 million to the
note receivable associated with a retail center located in Westminster,
Maryland; $2.6 million primarily associated with leasing related costs at one of
the office buildings located in Brentwood, Tennessee, and $1.4 million
associated with the development of the retail center located in Ocean City,
Maryland. Offsetting these outflows was net cash flow from property operations.
The Partnership's investment policy allows up to 30% investment in cash and
short-term obligations, although the Partnership generally holds approximately
10% of its assets in cash and short-term obligations. At June 30, 2004, 5.2% of
the Partnership's total assets consisted of cash and short-term obligations.
During the first six months of 2004, the Partnership spent approximately $5.3
million on capital improvements to wholly owned and consolidated joint venture
properties. Approximately $2.3 million was associated with leasing related costs
and tenant improvements at one of the office buildings located in Brentwood,
Tennessee. Of the remaining $3.0 million balance, $2.0 million was associated
with the development of the retail center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The
Partnership also increased its investment in real estate partnerships by
approximately $0.3 million in connection with the redevelopment and expansion of
the retail centers located in Kansas City, Missouri.
On March 24, 2004, the Partnership provided short-term financing for the
acquisition of a retail center located in Westminster, Maryland in the amount of
$3.75 million. The loan will be repaid to the Partnership together with interest
at 10.5% upon obtaining third party construction financing.
(B) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a brief year-to-date and quarterly comparison of the
Partnership's results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and
2003.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME OVERVIEW
The Partnership's net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2004
was $3.7 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from $4.8 million when compared to
the corresponding period in 2003. The Partnership's net investment income for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $1.7 million, a decrease of $0.7 million
from $2.4 million when compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The
decrease is primarily due to soft market conditions and increased rental
concessions within the apartment portfolio.
Revenue from real estate and improvements increased $0.9 million in the second
quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. Administrative
expenses increased $1.0 million in the first six months of 2004 when compared to
the same period in 2003. Administrative expenses also increased $0.6 million in
the second quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. Operating
expenses increased $1.2 million in the first six months of 2004 when compared to
the same period in 2003. Operating expenses also increased $0.9 million in the
second quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003. These increases
were all primarily due to the Partnership's acquisition of a controlling
interest in a 161-room hotel located in Lake Oswego, Oregon in late 2003.
17
VALUATION OVERVIEW
The Partnership experienced a net unrealized gain of $2.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a net unrealized loss of $4.9 million
during the corresponding period in 2003. The Partnership experienced a net
unrealized gain of $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004
compared to a net unrealized loss of $0.6 million during the corresponding
period in 2003. The unrealized gain during the first six months of 2004 was
primarily attributable to the retail and apartment sectors. The retail sector
recorded an unrealized gain totaling $3.2 million, primarily due to
strengthening market fundamentals, renovation and re-leasing efforts at the
retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri and pre-leased
expansion at the center located in Ocean City, Maryland. The apartment portfolio
also recorded an unrealized gain of $1.0 million, primarily due to increases in
rental rates at the apartment complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Offsetting these gains was the loss in value in the office sector of $1.2
million primarily due to decreases in occupancy coupled with soft market
conditions that have resulted in reductions in market rental rates and increased
leasing costs. The unrealized gain during the second quarter of 2004 was
primarily experienced in the retail, apartment, and office sectors. The
increases for the retail and apartment sectors are due to the same reasons as
noted above. The office sector experienced value gains mainly due to capital
improvements and 100% lease up at the office complex located in Brentwood,
Tennessee.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME
Net investment income from property operations for the office sector decreased
approximately $0.1 million, or 9.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 when
compared to the corresponding period in 2003. The decrease for the first six
months of 2004 was primarily due to increased vacancy resulting from weak market
fundamentals.
UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS
The five office properties owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
loss of approximately $1.2 million during the first six months of 2004. The
losses were experienced at the office complexes located in Lisle and Oakbrook,
Illinois primarily due to lower market rents and increased lease up costs.
Partially offsetting these losses were the gains experienced at both of the
office complexes in Brentwood, Tennessee primarily due to capital improvements
and increased occupancy.
The five office properties had experienced a net unrealized loss of
approximately $4.6 million during the first six months of 2003. The Oakbrook
Terrace, Illinois and Lisle, Illinois properties both experienced a net
unrealized loss of approximately $1.4 million primarily due to decreased
occupancy, lower market rents, and increased lease up costs. Both Brentwood,
Tennessee properties experienced a net unrealized loss of approx-
18
imately $0.7 million each primarily due to softening market conditions and
increased expenses. The office property located in Beaverton, Oregon experienced
an unrealized loss of approximately $0.4 million due to the lease expiration of
one of the tenants and a slight decrease in average market rent.
The five office properties experienced a net unrealized gain of approximately
$0.9 million during the second quarter of 2004. The gain is primarily due to
capital improvements and leasing at the office complexes in Brentwood,
Tennessee.
The five office properties had experienced a net unrealized loss of
approximately $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2003. The loss was due
to softening market conditions and a slight decrease in average market rent.
As of June 30, 2004 all vacant spaces were being marketed.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME
Net investment income from property operations for the apartment sector was $1.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.7 million, when
compared to the corresponding period in 2003. Net investment income from
property operations for the apartment sector was $0.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $0.6 million, when compared to the
corresponding period in 2003. The decreases were mainly due to: mortgage
interest incurred for the complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina that was
not applicable during the first six months of 2003; soft market conditions
affecting the apartment complexes located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon; and capital
improvements at the Jacksonville, FL complex that were not reflected as an
increase in market value.
UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS
The apartment complexes owned by the Partnership experienced a net unrealized
gain of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a net
unrealized loss of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The
unrealized gain for the first six months of 2004 was primarily due to increases
in rental rates at the apartment complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina
coupled with unrealized gain at the apartment complex located in Atlanta,
Georgia due to decreased projected expenses. The unrealized loss of $0.6 million
in the first half of 2003 was mainly attributable to increased projected
operating expenses at the apartment complexes located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon.
The apartment complexes experienced a net unrealized gain of $1.1 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to a net unrealized loss of $0.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The unrealized gain for the second
quarter of 2004 was primarily due to increases in market rental rates at the
apartment complex located in Raleigh, North Carolina coupled with unrealized
gains at the apartment complexes located
19
in Gresham/Salem, Oregon due to decreased capitalization rates used in valuing
properties of this type. The unrealized loss for quarter-to-date 2003 was mainly
attributable to increased projected operating expenses at the apartment
complexes located in Gresham/Salem, Oregon.
As of June 30, 2004, all available vacant units were being marketed.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME
Net investment income for the Partnership's retail properties decreased
approximately $0.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 when compared
to the corresponding period in 2003. Net investment income for the Partnership's
retail properties also decreased approximately $0.1 million, for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 when compared to the corresponding period in 2003.
While net investment income was essentially the same for both periods, the
properties within the retail portfolio contributed different amounts during the
respective periods. Increases in 2004, were due to the expanded center located
in Ocean City, Maryland and the acquisition of the two Westminster, Maryland
investments. It should also be noted that on April 15, 2003 the Partnership
acquired its joint venture partner's membership interest in the retail center
located in Hampton, Virginia, thus entitling the Partnership to all of the net
investment income generated by the investment. Offsetting these increases was a
substantial decrease in net investment income from the retail center located in
Roswell, Georgia, which experienced increased vacancy due to a major lease
termination in late 2003.
UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS
The retail properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $3.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2004. The Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri and
Hampton, Virginia retail centers experienced net unrealized gains primarily due
to strengthening market fundamentals. The Ocean City, Maryland retail center
experienced a gain due to a pre-leased expansion.
The retail properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $1.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2003. The retail center in Ocean City, Maryland
experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.6 million for the first six months of
2003 due to renovation and re-leasing efforts. The retail center located in
Hampton, Virginia experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.6 million for the
first six months of 2003 due to strengthening market fundamentals.
20
The retail properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $1.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2004. These unrealized gains were primarily
experienced by the retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri,
Ocean City, Maryland and Hampton, Virginia for the reasons discussed previously.
The retail properties experienced a net unrealized gain of $0.7 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. These unrealized gains were primarily experienced
by the retail centers located in Hampton, Virginia and Ocean City, Maryland
offset by the loss by the retail centers located in Kansas City, Kansas and
Missouri for the reasons discussed previously.
As of June 30, 2004, all vacant spaces were being marketed.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME
Net investment income from property operations for the industrial properties
decreased from $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 to $0.3
million for the corresponding period ended June 30, 2004. Net investment income
from property operations for the industrial properties was substantially the
same, at $0.2 million, for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The
decrease for the six month period was due to a rental concession given to a new
tenant at the industrial property located in Aurora, Colorado and the sale of
the industrial property located in Salt Lake City, Utah during the first quarter
of 2003.
UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS
The Aurora, Colorado industrial property owned by the Partnership experienced an
immaterial net unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared
to a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003.

NET INVESTMENT INCOME
On December 10, 2003, the Partnership acquired a controlling interest in a
161-room hotel located in Portland, Oregon for $8.0 million. Net investment
income from hotel operations was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2004. Net investment income from hotel operations was $0.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004.
UNREALIZED GAIN/LOSS
The Lake Oswego, Oregon hotel property owned by the Partnership experienced a
net unrealized loss of $0.1 million and a net unrealized loss of $0.2 million
for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
OTHER
Other net investment income decreased $0.3 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003. Other net investment
income decreased $0.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the corresponding period in 2003. Other net investment income includes 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 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, on an ongoing basis, reviews critical estimates and assumptions. 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 Consolidated
Financial Statements may change significantly. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The following sections discuss critical accounting policies applied in preparing
our consolidated financial statements that are most dependent on the application
of estimates and assumptions.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS -- The Partnership's investments in real estate are
initially carried at their purchase price. Subsequently, real estate investments
are reported at their estimated market values based upon appraisal reports
prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal
Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time
following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually
thereafter, with independent updates quarterly. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser
of Prudential Investment Management is responsible to assure that the valuation
process provides objective and reasonable market value estimates.
The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the market value of real estate as of
a specific date. Market value has been defined as the most probable price for
which the appraised real estate will sell in a competitive market under all
conditions requisite for a fair sale, with the buyer and seller each acting
prudently, knowledgeably, and for self interest, and assuming that neither is
under undue duress.
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.
Mortgage and other loans receivable, which are accounted for as loans, are
independently valued according to the same appraisal process as other
investments in real estate.
22
Other real estate investments include notes receivable, which are valued at the
amount due and approximate market value.
As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate
related assets is determined through an appraisal process except other real
estate investments, which are determined as stated above. These estimated market
values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate
investments would sell since market prices of real estate investments can only
be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. Although the
estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes
these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and
the aggregate value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of June
30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.
ITEM 3. 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 about 29.88% 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 rare circumstances.
The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the
Partnership's cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2004:
ESTIMATED MARKET
VALUE AVERAGE
MATURITY (IN $ MILLIONS) INTEREST RATE
---------- ----------------- -------------
Cash equivalents................ 0-3 months $12.7 1.19%
The table below discloses the Partnership's fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2004.
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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Mortgage Loans Payable..... $366 $774 $8,479 $588 $26,091 $7,284 $43,582 $44,415
The Partnership is exposed to market risk from tenants. While the Partnership
has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant
rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could
increase and result in losses to the Partnership, which would adversely affect
its operating results and liquidity.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In order to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported on a timely basis, the Company's management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and President and Chief Accounting Officer, have reviewed and
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of June 30, 2004.
Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief
Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2004, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during
the quarter ended June 30, 2004, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
