As of March 25, 1996, there were 25,000 shares of outstanding common stock, par
value $80 per share, of the registrant, consisting of 100 shares of voting and
24,900 shares of non-voting all of which were owned by American Skandia
Investment Holding Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skandia Insurance
Company Ltd., a Swedish corporation.
PART I
Item 1. Business
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation ("ASLAC" or "the
Company") is a Connecticut corporation with its principal offices
in Shelton, Connecticut.
American Skandia Investment Holding Corporation (the "Parent")
owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock. The Parent is a wholly-owned ultimate subsidiary of
Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., a Swedish corporation.
The Company currently develops and offers annuity products. All
annuity products requiring registration as securities are offered
through its affiliated broker-dealer company, American Skandia
Marketing, Incorporated. ASLAC currently offers single or
flexible premium variable and guaranteed maturity deferred
annuities and immediate annuities. The Company may, in the
future, offer other forms of life and health insurance.
Annuity contracts represent a contractual obligation to make
payments over a given period of time (often measured by the life
of the recipient), undertaken by the insurer in return for the
payment of either a single premium or a series of scheduled or
flexible premiums. The insurer's obligation to pay may commence
immediately or be deferred. The amount to be paid may be either
fixed or variable. The product is sold to pension plans and
individuals, primarily for the management of financial assets and
for retirement. Income earned by or credited to a deferred
annuity contract generally is not taxed until distributed. For
immediate annuities, or annuitized deferred annuities, a portion
of each annuity distribution received is taxed as ordinary income
to the policyholder, based on the ratio of the investment in the
contract to the total distribution expected to be received.
The Company is obligated to carry in its statutory financial
statements, as liabilities, actuarial reserves to meet its
obligations on outstanding annuity or life insurance contracts.
This is required by the life insurance laws and regulations in
the jurisdictions in which it does business. Such reserves are
based on mortality and/or morbidity tables in general use in the
United States. In general, reserves are computed amounts that,
with additions from premiums to be received, and with interest on
such reserves compounded at certain assumed rates, are expected
to be sufficient to meet our contract obligations at their
maturities if death occurs in accordance with the mortality
tables employed. In the accompanying financial statements these
reserves for contract obligations are determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and are included in
the separate account liabilities, reserve for future
contractowner benefits and annuity policy reserves.
ASLAC is engaged in a business that is highly competitive due to
the large number of insurance companies and other entities
competing in the marketing and sale of insurance products. There
are approximately 2,300 stock, mutual, and other types of
insurance companies in the life insurance business in the United
States.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 201 direct salaried
employees.
2
Item 2. Properties
The Company occupies office space leased from an affiliate,
American Skandia Information Services and Technology Corporation,
and believes that the current facilities are satisfactory for its
near term needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As of the date of this filing, the Company is not involved in any
litigation outside of the ordinary course of business, and knows
of no material claims.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation (ASLAC) is a stock
insurance company domiciled in Connecticut with licenses in all
50 states. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Skandia
Investment Holding Corporation (ASIHC), whose ultimate parent is
Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., a Swedish company.
The Company is in the business of issuing annuity policies, and
has been so since its business inception in 1988. The Company
currently offers the following annuity products: a) certain
deferred annuities that are registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including variable annuities and fixed
interest rate annuities that include a market value adjustment
feature; b) certain other fixed deferred annuities that are not
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and c)
fixed and adjustable immediate annuities.
The Company markets its products to broker-dealers and financial
planners through an internal field marketing staff. In addition,
the Company markets through and in conjunction with financial
institutions such as banks that are permitted directly, or
through affiliates, to sell annuities.
During 1995, Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. was formed by the
ultimate parent Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. The Company owns
99.9% ownership in Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. which is a life
insurance company domiciled in Mexico. This Mexican life insurer
is a start up company with expectations of selling long term
savings product within Mexico. Total shareholders' equity of
Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. is $881,648 at December 31, 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's long term business plan was developed reflecting
the current sales and marketing approach. Annuity sales increased
19%, 54% and 210% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
Company continues to show significant growth in sales volume and
increased market share within the variable annuity industry.
Total assets grew 75%, 84% and 182% in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These increases were a direct result of the
substantial sales volume increasing separate account assets and
deferred acquisition costs. Liabilities grew 76%, 87%, and 198%
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, as a result of the reserves
required for the increased sales activity and borrowing during
1995, 1994 and 1993. The borrowing is needed to fund the
acquisition costs of the Company's variable annuity business.
The Company experienced a net loss after tax in 1995 and 1994,
which was in excess of plan. The 1995 result was related to
higher than anticipated expense levels and additional reserving
requirements on our market value adjusted annuities. The increase
in expenses was primarily attributable to improving our service
infrastructure and marketing related costs.
The 1994 loss is a result of additional reserving of
approximately $4.6 million to cover the minimum death benefit
exposure in the Company's annuity contracts along with higher
than expected general expenses relative to sales volume. The
additional reserve may be required from time to time, within the
variable annuity market place, and is a result of volatility in
the financial markets as it relates to the underlying separate
account investments. The Company achieved profits in 1993 of $2
million which was expected.
5
REVENUES
Increasing volume of annuity sales results in higher assets under
management. The fees realized on assets under management has
resulted in annuity charges and fees to increase 57%, 111% and
143% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Net investment income increased 23% and 88% in 1995 and 1994
respectively, and decreased 22% in 1993. The increase in 1995 is
a result of a higher average level of Company bonds and
short-term investments. The increase in 1994 is a result of an
increase in the Company's bonds and short-term investments, which
were $33.6 million and $29.1 million at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively. The decrease in 1993 is a result of the need
to liquidate investments to support the cash needs required to
fund the acquisition costs on the variable annuity business.
Fee income has increased 194%, 125% and 650% in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively, as a result of income from transfer agency
type activities.
BENEFITS
Annuity benefits represent payments on annuity contracts with
mortality risks, this being the immediate annuity with life
contingencies and supplementary contracts with life
contingencies.
Increase in annuity policy reserves represent change in reserves
for the immediate annuity with life contingencies, supplementary
contracts with life contingencies and minimum death benefit.
During 1995 the Company entered into an agreement to reinsure the
guaranteed minimum death benefit exposure on most of the variable
annuity contracts. The costs associated with reinsuring the
minimum death benefit reserve approximates the change in the
minimum death benefit reserve during 1995, thereby having no
significant effect on the statement of operations. The
significant increase in 1994 reflects the required increase in
the minimum death benefit reserve on variable annuity contracts.
This increase covers the escalating death benefit in the product
which was further enhanced as a result of poor performance of the
underlying mutual funds within the variable annuity contract.
Return credited to contractowners represents revenues on the
variable and market value adjusted annuities offset by the
benefit payments and change in reserves required on this
business. Also included are the benefit payments and change in
reserves on immediate annuity contracts without significant
mortality risks. In 1995, the Company earned a lower than
anticipated separate account investment return on the market
value adjusted contracts in support of the benefits and required
reserves. In addition, the 1995 result includes an increase in
the required reserves associated with this product.
The result for 1994 was better than anticipated due to separate
account investment return on the market value adjusted contracts
being in excess of the benefits and required reserves.
6
EXPENSES
Underwriting, acquisition and other insurance expenses for 1995
is made up of $62.8 million of commissions and $42.2 million of
general expenses offset by the net capitalization of deferred
acquisition costs totaling $69.2 million. This compares to the
same period last year of $46.2 million of commissions and $26.2
million of general expenses offset by the net capitalization of
deferred acquisition costs totaling $53.7 million.
Underwriting, acquisition and other insurance expenses in 1993
were made up of $36.7 million of commissions and $19.3 million of
general expenses offset by the net capitalization of deferred
acquisition costs totaling $46.3 million.
Interest expense increased $2.9 million and $3.4 million in 1995
and 1994 respectively as a result of Surplus Notes totaling $103
million and $69 million, at 1995 and 1994, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The liquidity requirement of ASLAC was met by cash from insurance
operations, investment activities and borrowings from its parent.
As previously stated, the Company had significant growth during
1995. The sales volume of $1.628 billion was primarily
(approximately 80%) variable annuities which carry a contingent
deferred sales charge. This type of product causes a temporary
cash strain in that 100% of the proceeds are invested in separate
accounts supporting the product leaving a cash (but not capital)
strain caused by the acquisition cost for the new business. This
cash strain required the Company to look beyond the insurance
operations and investments of the Company. During 1995, the
Company borrowed an additional $34 million from its parent in the
form of Surplus Notes and extended the reinsurance agreement
(which was initiated in 1993 and 1994) along with entering into a
third reinsurance agreement with a large reinsurer in support of
its cash needs. The reinsurance agreements are modified
coinsurance arrangements where the reinsurer shares in the
experience of a specific book of business. The income and expense
items presented above are net of reinsurance.
The Company is reviewing various options to fund the cash strain
anticipated from the acquisition costs on the coming years' sales
volume.
The tremendous growth of this young organization has depended on
capital support from its parent.
As of December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, shareholder's
equity was $59,713,000 and $52,205,524 respectively, which
includes the carrying value of the state insurance licenses in
the amount of $4,862,500 and $5,012,500 respectively.
ASLAC has long term surplus notes with its parent and a short
term borrowing with an affiliate. No dividends have been paid to
its parent company.

consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Skandia Life
Assurance Corporation as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BUSINESS OPERATIONS
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation (the "Company") is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of American Skandia Investment Holding
Corporation (the "Parent"), which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., a Swedish corporation.
The Company develops annuity products and issues its products through
its affiliated broker/dealer company, American Skandia Marketing,
Incorporated. The Company currently issues variable, fixed, market
value adjusted and immediate annuities.
During 1995, Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. was formed by the ultimate
parent Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. The Company owns 99.9% ownership
in Skandia Vida, S.A. de C.V. which is a life insurance company
domiciled in Mexico. This Mexican life insurer is a start up company
with expectations of selling long term savings product within Mexico.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis of Reporting
------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
B. Investments
-----------
The Company has classified its fixed maturity investments as
held to maturity as the Company has the ability and intent to
hold those investments to maturity. Such investments are
carried at amortized cost.
The Company has classified its mutual fund investments as
available for sale. Such investments are carried at market
value and changes in unrealized gains and losses are reported
as a component of shareholder's equity.
Short-term investments are reported at cost which approximates
market value.
Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments are
determined by the specific identification method and are
included in revenues.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities", effective January 1, 1994. The
adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no impact on the Company's
financial statements.

AMERICAN SKANDIA LIFE ASSURANCE CORPORATION
(a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
C. Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid time deposits
purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
D. State Insurance Licenses
------------------------
Licenses to do business in all states have been capitalized
and reflected at the purchase price of $6 million less
accumulated amortization. The cost of the licenses is being
amortized over 40 years.
E. Fixed Assets
------------
Fixed Assets consisting of furniture, equipment and leasehold
improvements are carried at cost and depreciated on a straight
line basis over a period of three to five years. Accumulated
depreciation at December 31, 1995 and related depreciation
expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $3,749.
F. Recognition of Revenue and Contract Benefits
--------------------------------------------
Annuity contracts without significant mortality risk, as
defined by Financial Accounting Standard No. 97, are
classified as investment contracts (variable, market value
adjusted and certain immediate annuities) and those with
mortality risk (immediate annuities) as insurance products.
The policy of revenue and contract benefit recognition is
described below.
Revenues for variable annuity contracts consist of charges
against contractowner account values for mortality and expense
risks and administration fees and an annual maintenance fee
per contract. Benefit reserves for variable annuity contracts
represent the account value of the contracts, and are included
in the separate account liabilities.
Revenues for market value adjusted annuity contracts consist
of separate account investment income reduced by benefit
payments and change in reserves in support of contractowner
obligations, all of which is included in return credited to
contractowners. Benefit reserves for these contracts represent
the account value of the contracts, and are included in the
general account liability for future contractowner benefits to
the extent in excess of the separate account liabilities.
Revenues for immediate annuity contracts without life
contingencies consist of net investment income. Revenues for
immediate annuity contracts with life contingencies consist of
single premium payments recognized as annuity considerations
when received. Benefit reserves for these contracts are based
on the Society of Actuaries 1983 - a Table with an assumed
interest rate of 8.25%.
Annuity sales were $1,628,486,000, $1,372,874,000 and
$890,640,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Annuity
contract assets under management were $4,704,044,000,
$2,661,161,000 and $1,437,554,000 at December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

amortized in relation to the present value of estimated gross
profits. These costs include commissions, cost of contract
issuance, and certain selling expenses that vary with
production. Details of the deferred acquisition costs for the
years ended December 31 follow:
1995 1994 1993

I. Separate Accounts
-----------------
Assets and liabilities in Separate Account are shown as
separate captions in the consolidated statement of financial
condition. The assets consist of long-term bonds, investments
in mutual funds and short-term securities, all of which are
carried at market value.
Included in Separate Account liabilities is $586,233,752 and
$259,556,863 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
relating to annuity contracts for which the contractholder is

regulation.
J. Income taxes
------------
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax
return with all Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. subsidiaries in

computed on a separate return basis in accordance with the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Prior to
1995, the Company filed a separate federal income tax return.
K. Translation of Foreign Currency
-------------------------------
The financial position and results of operations of the
Company's foreign operations are measured using local currency
as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the
operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at
each year-end. Statements of operations and shareholder's
equity accounts are translated at the average rate prevailing
during the year. Translation adjustments arising from the use
of differing exchange rates from period to period are included
in shareholder's equity.
L. Estimates
---------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires that
management make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. The more significant
estimates and assumptions are related to deferred acquisition
costs and involve policy lapses, investment return and
maintenance expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

11. REINSURANCE
The effect of the reinsurance agreements on the Company's operations
was to reduce annuity charges and fee income, death benefit expense and
policy reserves. The effect of reinsurance for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:
1995
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annuity Change in Annuity Return Credited

Net $24,779,785 $11,752,984
=========== ===========
Such ceded reinsurance does not relieve the Company from its
obligations to policyholders. The Company remains liable to its
policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any
reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance
agreements.

exchange for three surplus notes. The amounts were $10 million, $15
million and $9 million, at interest rates of 7.52%, 7.49% and 7.47%,
respectively. Interest expense for these notes was $83,281 for the
year ended December 31, 1995.
During 1994, the Company received $49 million from its parent in
exchange for four surplus notes, two in the amount of $10 million, one
in the amount of $15 million and one in the amount of $14 million, at
interest rates of 7.28%, 7.90%, 9.13% and 9.78%, respectively. Interest
expense for these notes was $4,319,612 and $1,618,504 for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During 1993, the Company received $20 million from its parent in
exchange for a surplus note in the amount of $20 million at a 6.84%
interest rate. Interest expense for this note was $1,387,000,
$1,387,000 and $11,400 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
Payment of interest and repayment of principal for these notes requires
approval by the Commissioner of the State of Connecticut. In 1995,
approval was granted for the payment of surplus note interest with the
stipulation that it be funded through a capital contribution from the
Parent.
13. SHORT-TERM BORROWING
During 1993, the Company received a $10 million loan from Skandia AB, a
Swedish affiliate. Upon the last renewal the loan became payable to the
Parent rather than Skandia AB. The loan matures on March 6, 1996 and
bears interest at 6.75.%. The total interest expense to the Company was
$709,521, $569,618 and $149,861 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively, of which $219,375 and $50,174 was payable
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
14. CONTRACT WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS
Approximately 98% of the Company's separate account liabilities are
subject to discretionary withdrawal with market value adjustment by
contractholders. Separate account assets which are carried at market
value are adequate to pay such withdrawals which are generally subject
to surrender charges ranging from 7.5% to 1% for contracts held less
than 7 years.

Long-Term Incentive Plans - Awards in the last fiscal year: The
following table provides information regarding our long-term
incentive plan. Units are awarded to executive officers and other
personnel. The table shows units awarded to our Chief Executive
Officer and the most highly compensated of our executive officers
whose compensation exceeded $100,000 in the fiscal year
immediately preceding the date of this submission. This program
is designed to induce participants to remain with the Company
over long periods of time and to tie a portion of their
compensation to the fortunes of the Company.
27
Currently, the program consists of multiple plans. A new plan may
be instituted each year. Participants are awarded units at
the beginning of a plan. Generally, participants must remain
employed by the Company or its affiliates at the time such
units are payable in order to receive any payments under
the plan. There are certain exceptions, such as in cases of
retirement or death.
Changes in the value of units reflect changes in the "embedded
value" of the Company. "Embedded value" is the net asset value of
the Company (valued at market value and not including the present
value of future profits), plus the present value of the
anticipated future profits (valued pursuant to state insurance
law) on its existing contracts. Units will not have any value for
participants if the embedded value does not increase by certain
target percentages during the first four years of a plan. The
target percentages may differ between each plan. Any amounts
available under a plan are paid out in the fifth through eighth
years of a plan. Payments will be postponed if the payment would
exceed 20% of any profit (as determined under state insurance
law) earned by the company in the prior fiscal year or 30% of the
individual's current year salary. The amount to be received by a
participant at the time any payment is due will be the then
current number of units payable multiplied by the then current
value of such units.
