NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
JUNE 30, 1997
(UNAUDITED)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES

A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Pruco Life Insurance Company (Pruco Life), a stock life insurance
company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Pruco Life has two
subsidiaries, Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey and The Prudential Life
Insurance Company of Arizona. Pruco Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), a mutual life insurance
company. The Company markets individual life insurance and deferred annuities
primarily through Prudential's sales force in the United States, and in Taiwan.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the other information and disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for that
year.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by
independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, but in the opinion of management such financial statements include
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to
summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. The
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 may not be
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1997.

C. RECLASSIFICATIONS

To facilitate comparisons with the current year, certain amounts in the prior
years have been reclassified.

2. CONTINGENCIES

Several actions have been brought against the Company on behalf of those persons
who purchased life insurance policies based on complaints about sales practices
engaged in by Prudential, the Company and agents appointed by Prudential and the
Company. Prudential has agreed to indemnify the Company for any and all losses
resulting from such litigation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Pruco Life Insurance Company consists of Pruco Life Insurance Company and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Pruco Life Insurance Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
(Prudential). The Company markets individual life insurance and annuities
primarily through Prudential's sales force in the United States and in Taiwan.
The company held $11.0 billion in assets at June 30, 1997, $6.4 billion of which
were held in Separate Accounts under variable life insurance policies and
variable annuity contracts. The remaining assets were held in the general
account for investment primarily in bonds, short-term investments and policy
loans.

The Company's assets were $11.0 billion at June 30, 1997 compared to $9.7
billion at December 31, 1996. For the period ended June 30, 1997, net income
amounted to $49.1 million, a decrease of $17.7 million compared to the $66.8
million earned in the same period in 1996.

1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(a) 1997 versus 1996

Premiums increased by $2.0 million for the period ended June 30, 1997, from
$24.3 million in 1996 to $26.3 million. This change is primarily due to
increased sales related to traditional life insurance products in our Taiwan
branch which continued to expand its business throughout 1997.

Realized investment gains increased to $7.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 from $4.9 million for the same period in 1996. This increase is a
result of current market conditions.

Other income increased $5.0 million for the period ended June 30, 1997 from the
same period in 1996. This increase is due to increased advisory fees
attributable to growth of Separate Account products and introduction of
Discovery Select.

Policyholders' benefits increased $15.9 million for the period ended June 30,
1997 to $98.5 million, as compared to $82.6 million in 1996. This increase is
attributable to increased mortality costs associated with the aging book of
business.

Other operating expenses increased $24.2 million for the period ended June 30,
1997 compared to the same period for 1996. This is attributable to operational
expenses associated with the sales activity of Discovery Select and Discovery
Preferred annuity products. In addition, to increase competitive positioning in
the market place, technological advancements are being made in the annuity
processing and customer service areas. Along with, enhanced product developments
and marketing strategies to create products to better suit our customer's needs.

2. LIQUIDITY

For an insurance company, cash needs, for the purpose of paying current
benefits, making policy loans, and paying expenses, are met primarily from
premiums and investment income. Benefit expenses incurred in the six months
ended June 30, 1997, and 1996 were $250.8 million, and $213.1 million,
respectively. Cash flows are anticipated to be sufficient to meet the Company's
liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

3. CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary components of the Company's total assets of $11.0 billion at
June 30, 1997 are as follows (as a percentage of total assets): fixed income
securities 24.3%, separate account assets (fixed income and equity securities)
58.8%, policy loans 6.1%, and other assets 10.8%.
