Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q on the basis of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. These interim financial
statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the results of
operations and financial condition of the Pruco Life Insurance Company of New
Jersey ("the Company"), for the interim periods presented. The Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"),
which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company
of America ("Prudential"). Prudential is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential
Financial, Inc. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year. Certain amounts in the Company's prior year financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

2. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

Contingencies
On an ongoing basis, our internal supervisory and control functions review the
quality of our sales, marketing and other customer interface procedures and
practices and may recommend modifications or enhancements. In certain cases, if
appropriate, we may offer customers remediation and may incur charges, including
the cost of such remediation, administrative costs and regulatory fines.

It is possible that the results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in
a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected as a result
of payments in connection with the matters discussed above depending, in part,
upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. Management
believes, however, that the ultimate payments in connection with these matters
should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Litigation
Prudential and the Company are subject to legal and regulatory actions in the
ordinary course of our businesses, including class actions. Pending legal and
regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of our businesses and
operations that are specific to the Company and Prudential and that are typical
of the businesses in which the Company and Prudential operate. Some of these
proceedings have been brought on behalf of various alleged classes of
complainants. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs are seeking large
and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.

Beginning in 1995, regulatory authorities and customers brought significant
regulatory actions and civil litigation against the Company and Prudential
involving individual life insurance sales practices. In 1996, Prudential, on
behalf of itself and many of its life insurance subsidiaries including the
Company entered into settlement agreements with relevant insurance regulatory
authorities and plaintiffs in the principal life insurance sales practices class
action lawsuit covering policyholders of individual permanent life insurance
policies issued in the United States from 1982 to 1995. Pursuant to the
settlements, the companies agreed to various changes to their sales and business
practices controls, to a series of fines, and to provide specific forms of
relief to eligible class members. Virtually all claims by class members filed in
connection with the settlements have been resolved and virtually all aspects of
the remediation program have been satisfied. While the approval of the class
action settlement is now final, Prudential and the Company remain subject to
oversight and review by insurance regulators and other regulatory authorities
with respect to its sales practices and the conduct of the remediation program.
The U.S. District Court has also retained jurisdiction as to all matters
relating to the administration, consummation, enforcement and interpretation of
the settlements.

As of June 30, 2002, Prudential and/or the Company remained a party to
approximately 40 individual sales practices actions filed by policyholders who
"opted out" of the class action settlement relating to permanent life insurance
policies issued in the United States between 1982 and 1995. In addition, there
were 17 sales practices actions pending that were filed by policyholders who
were members of the class and who failed to "opt out" of the class action
settlement. Prudential and the Company believe that those actions are governed
by the class settlement release and expect them to be enjoined and/or dismissed.
Additional suits may be filed by class members who "opted out" of the class
settlements or who failed to "opt out" but nevertheless seek to proceed against
Prudential and/or the Company. A number of the plaintiffs in these cases seek
large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.
Some of these actions are brought on behalf of multiple plaintiffs. It is
possible that substantial punitive damages might be awarded in any of these
actions and particularly in an action involving multiple plaintiffs.

Prudential has indemnified the Company for any liabilities incurred in
connection with sales practices litigation covering policyholders of individual
permanent life insurance policies issued in the United States from 1982 to 1995.

The Company's litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and given the
complexity and scope, the outcomes cannot be predicted. It is possible that the
results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in a particular quarterly
or annual period could be materially effected by an ultimate unfavorable
resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters. Management believes,
however, that the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory
matters should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has extensive transactions and relationships with Prudential and
other affiliates. It is possible that the terms of these transactions are not
the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated
parties.

Expense Charges and Allocations
All of the Company's expenses are allocations or charges from Prudential or
other affiliates. These expenses can be grouped into the following categories:
general and administrative expenses and retail distribution expenses.

The Company's general and administrative expenses are charged to the Company
using allocation methodologies based on business processes. Management believes
that the methodology is reasonable and reflects costs incurred by Prudential to
process transactions on behalf of the Company. Prudential and the Company
operate under service and lease agreements whereby services of officers and
employees, supplies, use of equipment and office space are provided by
Prudential.

The Company is allocated estimated distribution expenses from Prudential's
retail agency network for both its domestic life and annuity products. The
estimate of allocated distribution expenses is intended to reflect a market
based pricing arrangement.

The Company has capitalized the majority of these distribution expenses as
deferred policy acquisition costs.

Corporate Owned Life Insurance
The Company has sold a Corporate Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") policy to
Prudential. The cash surrender value included in Separate Accounts was $168.9
million and $165.7 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

Reinsurance
The Company currently has a reinsurance agreement in place with Prudential ("the
reinsurer"). The reinsurance agreement is a yearly renewable term agreement in
which the Company may offer and the reinsurer may accept reinsurance on any life
in excess of the Company's maximum limit of retention. The Company is not
relieved of its primary obligation to the policyholder as a result of these
reinsurance transactions. These agreements had no material effect on net income
for the periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

Debt Agreements
In July 1998, the Company established a revolving line of credit facility with
Prudential Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential. There is no
outstanding debt relating to this credit facility as of June 30, 2002 or
December 31, 2001.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey meets the conditions set forth in
General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) on Form 10-Q and is filing this form with
reduced disclosure.

1. Analysis of Financial Condition

Total assets of the Company decreased $68.2 million from $2,525.0 million to
$2,456.8 million during the first six months of 2002. Separate Account assets
decreased $113.2 million as a result of market value declines. Partially
offsetting this, was an increase in fixed maturities of $51.8 million from
investing policyholder deposits.

Total liabilities of the Company decreased $71.3 million during the first six
months of 2002 from $2,317.6 million to $2,246.3 million. Corresponding with the
asset change, Separate Account liabilities decreased by $113.2 million resulting
from market value declines. Policyholder Account balances increased $37.5
million mainly from annuity deposits.


2. Results of Operations

Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Income
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $2.8 million, a decrease
of $6.4 million from the first six months of 2001. The main factors in the
decline in net income are lower realized investment gains and investment income,
and higher amortization of deferred acquisition costs ("DAC"). These declines
were partially offset by higher policy charges and fee income and premiums.

Revenues
Revenues decreased by $4.8 million from the prior year comparable period. The
change in realized investment losses/gains between the two periods decreased
income by $5.7 million. This change resulted primarily from the realization of
losses on sales of fixed maturities in 2002 from credit related sales compared
to gains on sales in the prior year from declining interest rates. Net
investment income is lower by $5.4 million due to lower yields available on
investment in fixed maturities and short-term investments and a lower fixed
maturity balance.

Policy charges and fee income increased by $4.2 million primarily driven by an
increase in charges for assuming mortality and expense risks due to the growth
in the life insurance in-force business. The life insurance in-force business
(excluding term insurance) grew to $7.6 billion at June 30, 2002 from $6.9
billion at both June 30 and December 31, 2001. This was partially offset by a
decrease in annuity policy charges and fees due to decreased fund values as a
result of unfavorable market performance. Premiums increased $2.0 million from
higher term insurance sales and renewals of the Term Essential and Term Elite
products of $5.5 million. This was partially offset by decreased extended term
insurance, which represents term insurance issued under policy provisions to
customers who previously had lapsing variable life insurance with the Company.

Benefits and Expenses
Policyholder benefits are $1.8 million lower than the prior year from decreases
to reserves of $3.2 million partially offset by higher death and surrender
benefits. Reserves are lower as a result of the lower amount of extended term
insurance issued in 2002, partially offset by higher reserves for term
insurance. Interest credited to policyholder account balances decreased by $0.5
million despite growth in policyholder account balances as interest crediting
rates were decreased in reaction to the declining investment portfolio yields.

General, administrative and other expenses increased by $6.4 million from the
prior year comparable period. The decline in our Separate Account assets
resulting from unfavorable market conditions contributed to increased
amortization of DAC of $4.4 million reflecting a decrease in expected future
gross profits. Continued deterioration in market conditions may result in
further increases in the amortization of DAC. Commissions, net of capitalization
also increased due to higher sales and renewals than the prior year.



9



Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income
Net income declined $4.6 million from the prior year comparable quarter. The
majority of this decrease resulted from the increase in DAC amortization of $
5.6 million as a result of unfavorable market conditions.

Revenues
Revenues are lower than the prior year quarter by $2.5 million. Investment
results were $5.1 million lower due to credit related realized losses and lower
investment income from decreased yields on fixed maturities and short-term
investments. Policy charges increased $1.6 million from growth in the life
insurance in-force business. Premiums increased $0.8 million from higher term
insurance offset partially by lower extended term premiums.

Benefits and Expenses
Policyholder benefits are lower by $2.0 million related to reserve decreases for
extended term premiums, partially offset by higher term insurance reserves.
General, administrative, and other expenses increased $5.7 million. The decline
in our Separate Account assets resulting from unfavorable market conditions
contributed to increased amortization of DAC of $5.6 million reflecting a
decrease in expected future gross profits.

3. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Principal cash flow sources are investment and fee income, investment maturities
and sales, and premiums and fund deposits. These cash inflows may be
supplemented by financing activities through other Prudential affiliates.

Cash outflows consist principally of benefits, claims and amounts paid to
policyholders in connection with policy surrenders, withdrawals and net policy
loan activity. Uses of cash also include commissions, general and administrative
expenses, and purchases of investments. Liquidity requirements associated with
policyholder obligations are monitored regularly so that the Company can manage
cash inflows to match anticipated cash outflow requirements.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations together with proceeds from
scheduled maturities and sales of fixed maturity investments, are adequate to
satisfy liquidity requirements based on the Company's current liability
structure.

The Company had $2.5 billion of assets at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
of which $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion were held in Separate Accounts at June
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, under variable life insurance
policies and variable annuity contracts. The remaining assets consisted
primarily of investments and deferred policy acquisition costs.
