EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (the "Company") is filing this
Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004 to amend the disclosures under Controls and Procedures in
Part I, Item 4 to provide additional information with respect to the status of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting.
The Company's original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004 has not been updated except as identified above. Except as
identified above, no other items included in the original Form 10-Q have been
amended, and such items remain in effect as of the filing date of the original
Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 does not purport to provide an update or a
discussion of any other developments at the Company subsequent to the filing
date of the original Form 10-Q.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 Chief Accounting Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of
September 30, 2004. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of September, 2004, our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. These conclusions are not affected by the matters discussed in the
following two paragraphs.
In determining the Company's state income tax expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2004, an error was made relating to the treatment of state net
operating loss carryforwards. This error resulted in an understatement of tax
expense, and corresponding overstatement of net income, of $0.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004. Had this error not occurred, reported net
income of $18.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 would have
been $17.5 million. Correction of this error will be reflected in the Company's
results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2004. Management of the
Company does not believe the effect of the error on any prior period to be
material. The error was identified by the Company in the course of a review and
inventory by the Company of its deferred tax balances undertaken during the
fourth quarter of 2004.
The Company is implementing enhancements to its internal control over financial
reporting to provide reasonable assurance that errors of this type will not
recur. These steps include the completion of the Company's comprehensive review
and inventory of deferred tax assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company
is implementing definitive standards for detailed documentation supporting
deferred tax balances. This includes the implementation of an automated
application to further enhance control with respect to the collection of
detailed deferred tax information. The Company expects to complete these
enhancements in conjunction with the preparation and reporting of its results of
operations for the year ending December 31, 2004
