PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential Financial”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Prudential” or the “Company”) provide a wide range of insurance, investment management, and other financial products and services to both retail and institutional customers throughout the United States and in many other countries. Principal products and services provided include life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, pension and retirement related investments and administration, and asset management. In addition, the Company provides securities brokerage services indirectly through a minority ownership in a joint venture. The Company has organized its principal operations into the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business. The Financial Services Businesses operate through three operating divisions: Insurance, Investment, and International Insurance and Investments. Businesses that are not sufficiently material to warrant separate disclosure and businesses to be divested are included in Corporate and Other operations within the Financial Services Businesses. The Closed Block Business, which includes the Closed Block (see Note 4), is managed separately from the Financial Services Businesses. The Closed Block Business was established on the date of demutualization and includes the Company’s in force participating insurance and annuity products and assets that are used for the payment of benefits and policyholder dividends on these products, as well as other assets and equity that support these products and related liabilities. In connection with the demutualization, the Company has ceased offering these participating products.

Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Prudential Financial, its majority-owned subsidiaries, as well as variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and those partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company has a majority financial interest, except for those partnerships and joint ventures where the Company cannot exercise control because the minority owners have substantive participating rights in the operating and capital decisions of the entity. The Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, in particular deferred policy acquisition costs, valuation of business acquired, investments, future policy benefits, provision for income taxes, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS 154

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 requires the retrospective application of changes in accounting principles to prior periods’ financial statements. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles made after December 15, 2005, and for the limited instance when a new accounting pronouncement does not provide transition provisions.

Adoption of SOP 03-1

In July 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (“AcSEC”) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-1, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts.” AcSEC issued this SOP to address the need for interpretive guidance in three areas: separate account presentation and valuation; the classification and valuation of certain long-duration contract liabilities; and the accounting recognition given sales inducements (bonus interest, bonus credits and persistency bonuses).

The Company adopted SOP 03-1 effective January 1, 2004. One element of this guidance addressed the accounting for liabilities related to insurance products that provide contractholders with a return based on a contractually referenced pool of investments. These products pass the economics related to the referenced pool of investments to the contractholder. Effective with the Company’s adoption of SOP 03-1, the contractholder liabilities associated with these products are required to be adjusted for changes in the fair value of the related pool of investments.

The effect of adopting SOP 03-1 was a charge of $79 million, net of $44 million of taxes, which was reported as a “Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of taxes” in the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This charge reflects the net impact of converting large group annuity contracts and certain individual market value adjusted annuity contracts from separate account accounting treatment to general account accounting treatment, including carrying the related liabilities at accreted value, and the effect of establishing reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefit provisions of the Company’s variable annuity and variable life contracts. The Company also recognized a cumulative effect of accounting change related to unrealized investment gains within “Other comprehensive income, net of taxes” of $73 million, net of $42 million of taxes, for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Upon adoption of SOP 03-1, $3.3 billion in “Separate account assets” were reclassified resulting in a $2.8 billion increase in “Fixed maturities, available for sale, at fair value” and a $0.6 billion increase in “Trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, at fair value,” as well as changes in other non-separate account assets. Similarly, upon adoption, $3.3 billion in “Separate account liabilities” were reclassified resulting in increases in “Policyholders’ account balances” and “Future policy benefits,” as well as changes in other non-separate account liabilities.

In June 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 97-1, “Situations in Which Paragraphs 17(b) and 20 of FASB Statement No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, Permit or Require Accrual of an Unearned Revenue Liability.” FSP 97-1 clarifies the accounting for unearned revenue liabilities of certain universal-life type contracts under SOP 03-1. The Company’s adoption of FSP 97-1 on July 1, 2004, did not change the accounting for unearned revenue liabilities and, therefore, had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In September 2004, the AICPA SOP 03-1 Implementation Task Force issued a Technical Practice Aid (“TPA”) to clarify certain aspects of SOP 03-1. The TPA did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Share-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company changed its accounting for employee stock options to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended, prospectively for all new stock options granted to employees on or after January 1, 2003. Prior to January 1, 2003, the Company accounted for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Under this method, the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. If the Company had accounted for all employee stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003 under the fair value based accounting method of SFAS No. 123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005					Three Months Ended June 30, 2004
	Financial Services Businesses			Closed Block Business		Financial Services Businesses			Closed Block Business
	(in millions, except per share amounts)

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires all entities to apply the fair value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans. Under this method, compensation costs of awards to employees, such as stock options, are measured at fair value and expensed over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The Company had previously adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the original SFAS No. 123, prospectively for all new stock options issued to employees on or after January 1, 2003. As issued, SFAS No. 123(R) was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005, the SEC deferred the effective date and as a result the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006. By that date, there will be no unvested stock options issued prior to January 1, 2003.

The fair value of each option issued prior to January 1, 2003 for purposes of the pro forma information presented above was estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For options issued on or after January 1, 2003, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock options using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees” and related interpretations in accounting for its non-employee stock options.

Share-Based Compensation Awards with Non-Substantive Vesting Conditions

The Company issues employee share-based compensation awards under an authorized plan that are subject to specific vesting conditions; generally the awards vest ratably over a three year period, “the nominal vesting period,” or at the date the employee retires (as defined by the plan), if earlier. For awards that specify an

8

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

employee vests in the award upon retirement, we account for the awards using the nominal vesting period approach. Under this approach, the Company records compensation expense over the nominal vesting period. If the employee retires before the end of the nominal vesting period, any remaining unrecognized compensation expense is recorded at the date of retirement.

Upon the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company will revise its approach to apply the non-substantive vesting period approach to all new share-based compensation awards. Under this approach, compensation cost will be recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if that is expected to occur during the nominal vesting period. The Company will continue to apply the nominal vesting period approach for any new awards granted prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and for the remaining portion of then unvested outstanding awards.

If the Company had accounted for all share-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2003 under the non-substantive vesting period approach, net income of the Financial Services Businesses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been reduced by $0 million and $1 million, respectively, with no reportable impact to the earnings per share of Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, net income would have been reduced by $3 million, or $0.01 per share of Common Stock, on a basic and diluted basis, and $10 million, or $0.02 per share of Common Stock, on a basic and diluted basis, respectively.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisition of Aoba Life Insurance Company, Ltd.

On November 1, 2004, the Company acquired Aoba Life Insurance Company, Ltd. (“Aoba Life”) for $191 million of total consideration from Tawa S.A., a subsidiary of Artemis S.A. Aoba Life is a Japanese life insurer with a run-off book of insurance and is not selling new policies. In recording the transaction, $6.4 billion was allocated to assets acquired and $6.2 billion to liabilities assumed. Pro forma information for this acquisition is omitted as the impact is not material.

Acquisition of CIGNA Corporation’s Retirement Business

On April 1, 2004, the Company purchased the retirement business of CIGNA Corporation (“CIGNA”) for $2.1 billion, including $2.1 billion of cash consideration and $20 million of transaction costs. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of that date. The acquisition of this business included the purchase by the Company of all the shares of CIGNA Life Insurance Company (“CIGNA Life”), which became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the acquisition, CIGNA Life entered into reinsurance arrangements with CIGNA to effect the transfer of the retirement business included in the transaction to CIGNA Life. Subsequent to its acquisition, the Company changed the name of CIGNA Life to Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (“PRIAC”).

The reinsurance arrangements between PRIAC and CIGNA include coinsurance-with-assumption, modified-coinsurance-with-assumption, and modified-coinsurance-without-assumption.

The coinsurance-with-assumption arrangement applies to the acquired general account defined contribution and defined benefit plan contracts. Prior to the acquisition, CIGNA Life assumed from CIGNA all of the insurance liabilities associated with these contracts, totaling $15.9 billion, and received from CIGNA the related investments. PRIAC has established a trust account for the benefit of CIGNA to secure its obligations to CIGNA

9

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

under the coinsurance agreement. The Company is in the process of requesting the pension plan customers to agree to substitute PRIAC for CIGNA in their respective contracts, and expects this process to be substantially complete by the end of 2005.

The modified-coinsurance-with-assumption arrangements apply to the majority of separate account contracts, and the general account defined benefit guaranteed-cost contracts acquired. Under the modified coinsurance arrangement associated with the separate account contracts, CIGNA retained the separate account and other assets as well as the related separate account and other liabilities until the agreed upon dates of asset transfer but, beginning on the date of acquisition, cedes all of the net profits or losses and related net cash flows associated with the contracts to PRIAC. At the date of acquisition, the statement of financial position for PRIAC included a reinsurance receivable of $32.4 billion and reinsurance payable of $32.4 billion established under these modified coinsurance arrangements and reflected in “Reinsurance recoverables” and “Reinsurance payables,” respectively. Through the first quarter of 2005, PRIAC has received from CIGNA the separate account assets and concurrently assumed the associated separate account liabilities, which are primarily included in “Separate account assets” and “Separate account liabilities,” respectively, in the Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company is in the process of requesting customers to agree to substitute PRIAC for CIGNA in their respective contracts.

The modified-coinsurance-with-assumption arrangement associated with the general account defined benefit guaranteed-cost contracts is similar to the arrangement associated with the separate account contracts; however, beginning two years after the acquisition, the Company may commute this modified coinsurance arrangement in exchange for cash consideration from CIGNA, at which time PRIAC would no longer have a related reinsurance liability or recoverable and the defined benefit guaranteed cost contracts would remain with CIGNA. If PRIAC does not commute the modified coinsurance arrangement, this arrangement will convert to a coinsurance-with-assumption arrangement. After the conversion, this coinsurance arrangement will be similar to the arrangement associated with the defined contribution and defined benefit pension plan contracts described above. At the date of acquisition, PRIAC established a reinsurance receivable of $1.8 billion and a reinsurance payable of $1.8 billion under the modified coinsurance arrangement, which are reflected in “Reinsurance recoverables” and “Reinsurance payables,” respectively. The net profits earned by PRIAC during the two-year period that the modified coinsurance arrangement is in effect are included in “Commissions and other income.”

The modified-coinsurance-without-assumption arrangement applies to the remaining separate account contracts acquired and is similar to the modified coinsurance arrangement associated with the separate account contracts described above; however, CIGNA will retain the separate account and other assets and the related liabilities while ceding the net profits or losses and the associated net cash flows to PRIAC for the remaining lives of the contracts. At the date of acquisition, PRIAC established a reinsurance receivable of $1.0 billion and a reinsurance payable of $1.0 billion for this modified coinsurance arrangement, which are reflected in “Reinsurance recoverables” and “Reinsurance payables,” respectively.

(1) Total invested assets include $11.1 billion of “Trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities,” which is primarily comprised of fixed maturities.

(2) The reinsurance recoverable and reinsurance payable amounts represent amounts receivable and payable under the modified coinsurance arrangements described above.

VOBA

Valuation of business acquired (“VOBA”), which is established in accordance with purchase accounting guidance, represents the present value of future profits embedded in the acquired contracts. VOBA is determined by estimating the net present value of future cash flows expected to result from contracts in force at the date of the transaction. Future positive cash flows include investment spreads, and fees and other charges assessed to the contracts for as long as they remain in force, while future negative cash flows include costs to administer the contracts and taxes. Contract balances, from which the cash flows arise, are projected using assumptions for add-on deposits, participant withdrawals, contract surrenders, and investment returns. VOBA is further explicitly adjusted to reflect the cost associated with the capital invested in the business. VOBA will be amortized over the expected life of the contracts (approximately 40 years) in proportion to estimated gross profits arising principally from fees in excess of actual expenses based upon historical and estimated future experience, which is updated periodically.

The following table provides estimated future amortization of VOBA relating to the acquired CIGNA retirement business from June 30, 2005 and thereafter.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of CIGNA’s retirement business amounted to $580 million, of which the Company currently estimates 100% to be deductible for tax purposes. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is reflected as $461 million in the Retirement segment, and as $119 million in the Asset Management segment.

The following supplemental information presents selected unaudited pro forma information for the Company assuming the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2004.

Acquisition of Hyundai Investment and Securities Co., Ltd.

On February 27, 2004, the Company acquired an 80% interest in Hyundai Investment and Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary Hyundai Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd., a Korean asset management firm, from the Korean Deposit Insurance Corporation (“KDIC”), an agency of the Korean government, for $301 million in cash, including $210 million used to repay debt assumed. The Company may choose to acquire, or be required to acquire, from the KDIC the remaining 20% three to six years after closing. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company was renamed Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. Pro forma information for this acquisition is omitted as the impact is not material.

The Company’s Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations include the operating results of Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. from the date of acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. entered into an agreement with the Korean government related to the provision of asset management and brokerage services, which agreement extends until February 27, 2009.

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Fees due from the Korean government under the terms of this agreement are recorded in “Commissions and other income” and were $6 million and $12 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and $7 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company completed its purchase accounting for the transaction, which resulted in a $20 million extraordinary gain as the fair value of the assets acquired of $2.4 billion less the fair value of liabilities assumed of $2.3 billion exceeded the purchase price. There are no income taxes associated with the extraordinary gain based on the assumption that foreign investment and subsequent earnings are not to be repatriated to the U.S.

Charges recorded in connection with the disposals of operations include estimates that are subject to subsequent adjustment. It is possible that such adjustments might be material to future net income of a particular quarterly or annual period.

On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Dryden Wealth Management business (“Dryden”), which offers financial advisory, private banking and portfolio management services primarily to retail investors in Europe and Asia, to a subsidiary of Fortis N.V. for a purchase price approximately equal to book value, adjusted for certain pension liabilities to be retained by the Company and subject to adjustments based on client asset levels and other factors. The book value of Dryden as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $80 million. Completion of the transaction, currently expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2005, is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other conditions to closing. As a result of the agreement to sell, results of Dryden, which commencing with the fourth quarter of 2004 had been included in the divested businesses of the Company’s Corporate and Other operations, are now included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 include $32 million and $38 million, respectively, of transaction and transaction related costs. The Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $10 million in additional transaction and transaction related costs during 2005 in connection with the sale.

4. CLOSED BLOCK

On the date of demutualization, Prudential Insurance established a Closed Block for certain individual life insurance policies and annuities issued by Prudential Insurance in the U.S. The recorded assets and liabilities were allocated to the Closed Block at their historical carrying amounts. The Closed Block forms the principal component of the Closed Block Business. The Company established a separate closed block for participating individual life insurance policies issued by the Canadian branch of Prudential Insurance. Due to the substantially smaller number of outstanding Canadian policies, this separate closed block is insignificant in size and is not included in the information presented below.

The policies included in the Closed Block are specified individual life insurance policies and individual annuity contracts that were in force on the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization and for which Prudential Insurance is currently paying or expects to pay experience-based policy dividends. Assets have been allocated to the Closed Block in an amount that has been determined to produce cash flows which, together with revenues from policies included in the Closed Block, are expected to be sufficient to support obligations and liabilities relating to these policies, including provision for payment of benefits, certain expenses, and taxes and to provide for continuation of the policyholder dividend scales in effect in 2000, assuming experience underlying such scales continues. To the extent that, over time, cash flows from the assets allocated to the Closed Block and claims and other experience related to the Closed Block are, in the aggregate, more or less favorable than what was assumed when the Closed Block was established, total dividends paid to Closed Block policyholders in the future may be greater than or less than the total dividends that would have been paid to these policyholders if the policyholder dividend scales in effect in 2000 had been continued. Any cash flows in excess of amounts assumed will be available for distribution over time to Closed Block policyholders and will not be available to stockholders. If the Closed Block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from assets outside of the Closed Block. The Closed Block will continue in effect as long as any policy in the Closed Block remains in force unless, with the consent of the New Jersey insurance regulator, it is terminated earlier.

The excess of Closed Block Liabilities over Closed Block Assets at the date of the demutualization (adjusted to eliminate the impact of related amounts in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”) represented the estimated maximum future earnings at that date from the Closed Block expected to result from operations attributed to the Closed Block after income taxes. In establishing the Closed Block, the Company developed an actuarial calculation of the timing of such maximum future earnings. If actual cumulative earnings of the Closed Block from inception through the end of any given period are greater than the expected cumulative earnings, only the expected earnings will be recognized in income. Any excess of actual cumulative earnings over expected cumulative earnings will represent undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to policyholders, which are recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation. The policyholder dividend obligation represents amounts to be paid to Closed Block policyholders as an additional policyholder dividend unless otherwise offset by future Closed Block performance that is less favorable than originally expected. If the actual cumulative earnings of the Closed Block from its inception through the end of any given period are less than the expected cumulative earnings of the Closed Block, the Company will recognize only the actual earnings in income. However, the Company may reduce policyholder dividend scales in the future, which would be intended to increase future actual earnings until the actual cumulative earnings equaled the expected cumulative earnings. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has recognized a policyholder dividend obligation of $35 million to Closed Block policyholders for the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings, to be paid to Closed Block policyholders unless otherwise offset by future experience. Additionally, net unrealized investment gains that have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block have been reflected as a policyholder dividend obligation of $3.529 billion as of June 30, 2005, to be paid to Closed Block policyholders unless otherwise offset by future experience, with an offsetting amount reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).”

5. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Program

On November 9, 2004, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which Prudential Financial was authorized to purchase up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding Common Stock in 2005. Effective June 7, 2005, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program from $1.5 billion to $2.1 billion for calendar year 2005. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the authorization will be determined by management based on market conditions and other considerations, and such repurchases may be effected in the open market or through negotiated transactions. This stock repurchase program supersedes all previous repurchase programs. During the first six months of 2005, the Company acquired 14.3 million shares of its Common Stock at a total cost of approximately $843 million.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has outstanding two separate classes of common stock. The Common Stock reflects the performance of the Financial Services Businesses and the Class B Stock reflects the performance of the Closed Block Business. Accordingly, earnings per share is calculated separately for each of these two classes of common stock.

Net income for the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business is determined in accordance with GAAP and includes general and administrative expenses charged to each of the respective businesses based on the Company’s methodology for the allocation of such expenses. Cash flows between the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business related to administrative expenses are determined by a policy servicing fee arrangement that is based upon insurance and policies in force and statutory cash premiums. To the extent reported administrative expenses vary from these cash flow amounts, the differences are recorded, on an after tax basis, as direct equity adjustments to the equity balances of the businesses. The direct equity adjustments modify the earnings available to each of the classes of common stock for earnings per share purposes.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the weighted average number of shares of Class B Stock used in the calculation of basic earnings per share amounted to 2.0 million shares. There are no potentially dilutive shares associated with the Class B Stock.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has funded and non-funded contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, which cover substantially all of its employees. For some employees, benefits are based on final average earnings and length of service, while benefits for other employees are based on a notional account balance that increases based on age, service and salary during their career.

The Company provides certain life insurance and health care benefits for its retired employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents (“other postretirement benefits”). The health care plan is contributory; the life insurance plan is non-contributory. Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. employees may become eligible to receive other postretirement benefits if they retire after age 55 with at least 10 years of service or under certain circumstances after age 50 with at least 20 years of continuous service.

Net periodic (benefit) cost included in “General and administrative expenses” includes the following components:

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segments

The Company has organized its principal operations into the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business. Within the Financial Services Businesses, the Company operates through three divisions, which together encompass seven reportable segments. Businesses that are not sufficiently material to warrant separate disclosure and businesses to be divested are included in Corporate and Other operations. Collectively, the businesses that comprise the three operating divisions and Corporate and Other are referred to as the Financial Services Businesses.

Adjusted Operating Income

In managing the Financial Services Businesses, the Company analyzes the operating performance of each segment using “adjusted operating income.” Adjusted operating income does not equate to “income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change” as determined in accordance with GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss used by the Company to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and, consistent with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” is the measure of segment performance presented below.

Adjusted operating income is calculated by adjusting each segment’s “income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change” to exclude the following items, which are described in greater detail below:

• realized investment gains (losses), net, except as indicated below, and related charges and adjustments;

• net investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes; and

• the contribution to income/loss of divested businesses that have been or will be sold or exited but that did not qualify for “discontinued operations” accounting treatment under GAAP.

The excluded items are important to an understanding of overall results of operations. Adjusted operating income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s definition of adjusted operating income may differ from that used by other companies. However, the Company believes that the presentation of adjusted operating income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors of the Financial Services Businesses.

Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments. Adjusted operating income excludes realized investment gains (losses), net, except as indicated below. A significant element of realized losses is impairments and losses from sales of credit-impaired securities, the timing of which depends largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. The timing of other sales that would result in gains or losses is largely subject to the Company’s discretion and influenced by market opportunities. Trends in the underlying profitability of the Company’s businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of these transactions.

Charges that relate to realized investment gains (losses), net, are also excluded from adjusted operating income. The related charges, which are offset against net realized investment gains and losses in the schedules below, relate to policyholder dividends; amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, VOBA and unearned revenue reserves; reserves for future policy benefits; payments associated with the market value adjustment

21

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

features related to certain of the annuity products we sell; and minority interest in consolidated operating subsidiaries. The related charges associated with policyholder dividends include a percentage of net realized investment gains on specified Gibraltar Life assets that is required to be paid as dividends to Gibraltar Life policyholders. Deferred policy acquisition costs, VOBA and unearned revenue reserves for certain products are amortized based on estimated gross profits, which include net realized investment gains and losses on the underlying invested assets. The related charge for these items represent the portion of this amortization associated with net realized investment gains and losses. The reserves for certain policies are adjusted when cash flows related to these policies are affected by net realized investment gains and losses, and the related charge for reserves for future policy benefits represents that adjustment. Certain of our annuity products contain a market value adjustment feature that requires us to pay to the contractholder or entitles us to receive from the contractholder, upon surrender, a market value adjustment based on the crediting rates on the contract surrendered compared to crediting rates on newly issued contracts or based on an index rate at the time of purchase compared to an index rate at time of surrender, as applicable. These payments mitigate the net realized investment gains or losses incurred upon the disposition of the underlying invested assets. The related charge represents the payments or receipts associated with these market value adjustment features. Minority interest expense is recorded for the earnings of consolidated subsidiaries owed to minority investors. The related charge for minority interest in consolidated operating subsidiaries represents the portion of these earnings associated with net realized investment gains and losses.

Adjustments to “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” for purposes of calculating adjusted operating income, include the following:

Gains and losses pertaining to derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, other than derivatives used for trading purposes, are included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” This includes mark-to-market adjustments of open contracts as well as periodic settlements. As discussed further below, adjusted operating income includes a portion of realized gains and losses pertaining to certain derivative contracts.

Adjusted operating income of the International Insurance and International Investments segments reflect the impact of an intercompany arrangement with Corporate and Other operations pursuant to which those segments’ results in certain countries for a particular year, including its interim reporting periods, are translated at fixed currency exchange rates. The fixed rates are determined in connection with a currency hedging program designed to mitigate the risk that unfavorable rate changes will reduce those segments’ U.S. dollar equivalent earnings. Pursuant to this program, the Company executes forward sale contracts in the hedged currency in exchange for U.S. dollars at a specified exchange rate. The maturities of these contracts correspond with the future periods in which the non-U.S. earnings are expected to be generated. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP and, as noted above, all resulting profits or losses from such contracts are included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” When the contracts are terminated in the same period that the expected earnings emerge, the resulting positive or negative cash flow effect is included in adjusted operating income (losses of $20 million and losses of $22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and losses of $56 million and $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively). As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the fair value of open contracts used for this purpose was a net liability of $5 million and $230 million, respectively.

The Company utilizes interest and currency swaps and other derivatives to manage interest and currency exchange rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, including duration mismatches. For the derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, mark-to-market adjustments of open contracts as well as periodic settlements are included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” However, the periodic swap settlements, as well as other derivative related yield adjustments, are included in adjusted operating income to reflect the after-hedge yield of the underlying instruments. Adjusted operating income

22

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

includes gains of $15 million and $0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and gains of $33 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, due to periodic settlements and yield adjustments of such contracts.

The Company invests in fixed maturities that, in addition to a stated coupon, provide a return based upon the results of an underlying portfolio of fixed income investments and related investment activity. The Company accounts for these investments as available for sale fixed maturities containing embedded derivatives that are marked to market through “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” based upon the change in value of the underlying portfolio. Adjusted operating income includes a portion of the cumulative realized investment gains on these embedded derivatives on an amortizing basis over the remaining life of the securities. However, adjusted operating income includes any cumulative realized investment losses immediately. Adjusted operating income includes losses of $13 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, related to these embedded derivatives. There were no adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Adjustments are also made for the purposes of calculating adjusted operating income for the following items:

The Company’s Japanese insurance operations invest in “reverse dual currency” fixed maturities and loans, which pay interest in U.S. dollars, while the principal is payable in Japanese Yen. For fixed maturities that are categorized as held to maturity, and loans where the Company’s intent is to hold them to maturity, the change in value related to foreign currency fluctuations associated with the U.S. dollar interest payments is recorded in “Commissions and other income.” Since these instruments will be held until maturity, the foreign exchange impact will ultimately be realized as net investment income as earned and is therefore excluded from current period adjusted operating income. This change in value related to foreign currency fluctuations recorded within “Commissions and other income” is excluded from adjusted operating income as an adjustment to “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” and was an increase of $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. There were no adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

As part of the acquisition of CIGNA’s retirement business, the Company entered into reinsurance agreements with CIGNA, including a modified-coinsurance-with-assumption arrangement that applies to the defined benefit guaranteed-cost contracts acquired. The net results of these contracts are recorded in “Commissions and other income,” as a result of the reinsurance arrangement, and such net results include realized investment gains and losses. These realized investment gains and losses are excluded from adjusted operating income as an adjustment to “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” Net realized investment gains were excluded for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 of $13 million and $3 million, respectively.

Investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes. Certain products included in the retirement business acquired from CIGNA, as well as certain products included in the International Insurance segment, are experience-rated in that investment results associated with these products will ultimately inure to contractholders. The investments supporting these experience-rated products, excluding mortgage loans, are classified as trading. These trading investments are reflected on the statements of financial position as “Trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, at fair value” and all investment results are reported in “Commissions and other income.” Mortgage loans that support these experience-rated products are carried at unpaid principal, net of unamortized discounts and an allowance for losses, and are reflected on the statements of financial position as “Commercial loans.”

Adjusted operating income excludes net investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities. This is consistent with the exclusion of realized investment gains and losses with respect to other investments supporting insurance liabilities managed on a consistent basis, as discussed above. In addition,

23

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

to be consistent with the historical treatment of charges related to realized gains and losses on available for sale securities, adjusted operating income also excludes the change in contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes in the pool of investments (including mortgage loans) supporting these experience-rated contracts, which are reflected in “Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances.” The result of this approach is that adjusted operating income for these products includes only net fee revenue and interest spread the Company earns on these experience-rated contracts, and excludes changes in fair value of the pool of investments, both realized and unrealized, that inure to the contractholders.

Divested businesses. The contribution to income/loss of divested businesses that have been or will be sold or exited, but that did not qualify for “discontinued operations” accounting treatment under GAAP, are excluded from adjusted operating income as the results of divested businesses are not relevant to understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results.

The summary below reconciles adjusted operating income to income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change:

9. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Contingencies

On an ongoing basis, the Company’s internal supervisory and control functions review the quality of sales, marketing and other customer interface procedures and practices and may recommend modifications or enhancements. In certain cases, if appropriate, the Company 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 or other matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. Management believes, however, that ultimate payments in connection with these matters, after consideration of applicable reserves, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its businesses. Pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of our businesses and operations that are specific to the Company and proceedings that are typical of the businesses in which the Company operates, including in both cases businesses that have either been divested or placed in wind-down status. 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.

As more fully described in Prudential Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004, commencing in 2003, the Company received formal requests for information from regulators and law enforcement authorities

26

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

relating to the purchase and sale of mutual fund shares and variable annuities. They include, among others, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the New York Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, the State of New York Attorney General’s Office (“NYAG”), the Securities Division of Massachusetts and the United States Attorney, District of Massachusetts. The matters under investigation principally concern allegations relating to market timing in the retail brokerage operations of the former Prudential Securities and in certain American Skandia products.

In connection with Prudential Securities, the Company believes that the pending investigations will likely result in proceedings and/or settlements. The Company is engaged in ongoing discussions with all relevant authorities and is fully cooperating with them. The Company has established a reserve for anticipated settlement costs, but there are no assurances that this reserve will prove adequate.

Civil charges have been brought against certain former Prudential Securities brokers and branch managers, and, on August 2, 2005, criminal charges were brought by the United States Attorney, District of Massachusetts, against a former Prudential Securities broker, relating to the matters under investigation. It is possible that additional civil and/or criminal charges may be brought against these and other former Prudential Securities employees.

In connection with American Skandia, the Company believes that the investigations of the SEC and the NYAG are likely to lead to proceedings and/or settlements. The Company is fully cooperating with these investigations. Any regulatory settlement involving an American Skandia entity would be subject to the indemnification provisions of the acquisition agreement pursuant to which Prudential Financial purchased the American Skandia entities in May 2003 from Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. (publ) (“Skandia”). With Skandia’s approval, an offer was made by American Skandia to these regulators to settle the matters relating to market timing in variable annuities by paying restitution and a civil penalty of $95 million in the aggregate, and there are ongoing discussions with these regulators regarding settlement of these matters.

The Company currently uses reinsurance primarily to transfer mortality risk, to acquire or dispose of blocks of business and to manage its capital more effectively. As indicated in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Prudential Financial on June 7, 2005, given the recent publicity surrounding certain reinsurance transactions involving other companies in the insurance industry, the Company voluntarily commenced a review of the accounting for its reinsurance arrangements to confirm that it complied with applicable accounting rules. This review includes an inventory and examination of current and past arrangements, including those relating to the Company’s wind down and divested businesses and discontinued operations. This review is ongoing and not yet complete. Subsequent to commencing its voluntary review, the Company received formal requests for information from the Connecticut Attorney General, the Connecticut Insurance Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting information regarding the Company’s participation in certain reinsurance transactions. The Company believes that a number of other insurance industry participants have also received similar requests. It is possible that the Company may receive additional requests from regulators relating to reinsurance arrangements. The Company intends to cooperate fully with all such requests.

As previously reported, in Azar, et al. v. Prudential Insurance, plaintiffs brought an action based upon the alleged failure to disclose adequately the increased costs associated with payment of life insurance premiums on a modal basis. In July 2005, the District Court of Valencia County, New Mexico, certified a class of only New Mexico residents who purchased insurance policies during the class period and paid modal premiums for their policies, but denied plaintiffs’ motion to include purchasers from 35 additional state jurisdictions.

In June 2005, a motion by all defendants in Enron Corp. v. J.P. Morgan Securities, et al. to dismiss Enron’s complaint in this bankruptcy preference action was denied by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

The Company’s litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and given its complexity and scope, its outcome 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 affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. Management believes, however, that the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory matters, after consideration of applicable reserves, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Supplemental Combining Financial Information

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The supplemental combining financial information presents the consolidated financial position and results of operations for Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”), separately reporting the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business. The Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business are both fully integrated operations of the Company and are not separate legal entities. The supplemental combining financial information presents the results of the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business as if they were separate reporting entities and should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has outstanding two classes of common stock. The Common Stock reflects the performance of the Financial Services Businesses and the Class B Stock reflects the performance of the Closed Block Business.

The Closed Block Business was established on the date of demutualization and includes the assets and liabilities of the Closed Block (see Note 4 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Closed Block). It also includes assets held outside the Closed Block necessary to meet insurance regulatory capital requirements related to products included within the Closed Block; deferred policy acquisition costs related to the Closed Block policies; the principal amount of the IHC debt (as discussed in Note 2 below) and related unamortized debt issuance costs, as well as an interest rate swap related to the IHC debt; and certain other related assets and liabilities. The Financial Services Businesses consist of the Insurance, Investment, and International Insurance and Investments divisions and Corporate and Other operations.

2. ALLOCATION OF RESULTS

This supplemental combining financial information reflects the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business, as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management in order to fairly present the financial position and results of operations of the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business on a stand alone basis. While management considers the allocations utilized to be reasonable, management has the discretion to make operational and financial decisions that may affect the allocation methods and resulting assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of each business. In addition, management has limited discretion over accounting policies and the appropriate allocation of earnings between the two businesses. The Company is subject to agreements which provide that, in most instances, the Company may not change the allocation methodology or accounting policies for the allocation of earnings between the Financial Services Businesses and Closed Block Business without the prior consent of the Class B Stock holders or IHC debt bond insurer.

General corporate overhead not directly attributable to a specific business that has been incurred in connection with the generation of the businesses’ revenues is generally allocated based on the general and administrative expenses of each business as a percentage of total general and administrative expenses for all businesses.

Prudential Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., has outstanding senior secured notes (the “IHC debt”), of which net proceeds of $1.66 billion were allocated to the Financial Services Businesses concurrent with the demutualization on December 18, 2001. The IHC debt is serviced by the cash flows of the Closed Block Business, and the results of the Closed Block Business reflect interest expense associated with the IHC debt.

32

PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Supplemental Combining Financial Information—(Continued)

Income taxes are allocated between the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business as if they were separate companies based on the taxable income or losses and other tax characterizations of each business. If a business generates benefits, such as net operating losses, it is entitled to record such tax benefits to the extent they are expected to be utilized on a consolidated basis.

Holders of Common Stock have no interest in a separate legal entity representing the Financial Services Businesses; holders of the Class B Stock have no interest in a separate legal entity representing the Closed Block Business; and holders of each class of common stock are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in the Company.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, holders of Common Stock and holders of Class B Stock would be entitled to receive a proportionate share of the net assets of the Company that remain after paying all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any preferred stock.

The results of the Financial Services Businesses are subject to certain risks pertaining to the Closed Block. These include any expenses and liabilities from litigation affecting the Closed Block policies as well as the consequences of certain potential adverse tax determinations. In connection with the sale of the Class B Stock and IHC debt, the cost of indemnifying the investors with respect to certain matters will be borne by the Financial Services Businesses.

33

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) addresses the consolidated financial condition of Prudential Financial as of June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004, and its consolidated results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. You should read the following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the Company’s MD&A and audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as well as the Forward-Looking Statements and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Prudential Financial has two classes of common stock outstanding. The Common Stock, which is publicly traded (NYSE:PRU), reflects the performance of the Financial Services Businesses, while the Class B Stock, which was issued through a private placement and does not trade on any exchange, reflects the performance of the Closed Block Business. The Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business are discussed below.

Financial Services Businesses

Our Financial Services Businesses consist of three operating divisions, which together encompass seven segments, and our Corporate and Other operations. The Insurance division consists of our Individual Life and Annuities and Group Insurance segments. The Investment division consists of our Asset Management, Financial Advisory, and Retirement segments. The International Insurance and Investments division consists of our International Insurance and International Investments segments. Our Corporate and Other operations include our real estate and relocation services business, as well as corporate items and initiatives that are not allocated to business segments. Corporate and Other operations also include businesses that have been or will be divested and businesses that we have placed in wind-down status.

We attribute financing costs to each segment based on the amount of financing used by each segment, excluding financing costs associated with capital debt. The net investment income of each segment includes earnings on the amount of equity that management believes is necessary to support the risks of that segment.

We seek growth internally and through acquisitions, joint ventures or other forms of business combinations or investments. Our principal acquisition focus is in our current business lines, both domestic and international.

Closed Block Business

In connection with the demutualization, we ceased offering domestic participating products. The liabilities for our domestic in force participating products were segregated, together with assets, in a regulatory mechanism referred to as the “Closed Block.” The Closed Block is designed generally to provide for the reasonable expectations for future policy dividends after demutualization of holders of participating individual life insurance policies and annuities included in the Closed Block by allocating assets that will be used exclusively for payment of benefits, including policyholder dividends, expenses and taxes with respect to these products. See Note 4 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Closed Block. We selected the amount of Closed Block assets so that the Closed Block assets initially had a lower book value than the Closed Block liabilities. We expect that the Closed Block assets will generate sufficient cash flow, together with anticipated revenues from the Closed Block policies, over the life of the Closed Block to fund payments of all expenses, taxes, and policyholder benefits to be paid to, and the reasonable dividend expectations of, holders of the Closed Block policies. We also segregated for accounting purposes the assets that we need to hold outside the Closed Block to meet capital requirements related to the Closed Block policies. No policies sold after

34

demutualization will be added to the Closed Block, and its in force business is expected to ultimately decline as we pay policyholder benefits in full. We also expect the proportion of our business represented by the Closed Block to decline as we grow other businesses.

Concurrently with our demutualization, Prudential Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial that owns the capital stock of Prudential Insurance, issued $1.75 billion in senior secured notes, which we refer to as the IHC debt. The net proceeds from the issuances of the Class B Stock and IHC debt, except for $72 million used to purchase a guaranteed investment contract to fund a portion of the bond insurance cost associated with that debt, were allocated to the Financial Services Businesses. However, we expect that the IHC debt will be serviced by the net cash flows of the Closed Block Business over time, and we include interest expenses associated with the IHC debt when we report results of the Closed Block Business.

The Closed Block Business consists principally of the Closed Block, assets that we must hold outside the Closed Block to meet capital requirements related to the Closed Block policies, invested assets held outside the Closed Block that represent the difference between the Closed Block assets and Closed Block liabilities and the interest maintenance reserve, deferred policy acquisition costs related to Closed Block policies, the principal amount of the IHC debt and related hedging activities, and certain other related assets and liabilities.

Executive Summary

Prudential Financial, one of the largest financial services firms in the U.S., offers clients a wide array of financial products and services, including life insurance, mutual funds, annuities, pension and retirement-related services and administration, asset management, banking and trust services, real estate brokerage and relocation services, and, through a joint venture, securities brokerage. We offer these products and services through one of the largest distribution networks in the financial services industry.

Significant developments and events in the first six months of 2005 reflect our continued efforts to redeploy capital effectively to seek enhanced returns, including the continuation of our share repurchase program. In June 2005, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s share repurchase program, from up to $1.5 billion to up to $2.1 billion of its outstanding Common Stock for calendar year 2005. In the first six months of 2005, we repurchased 14.3 million shares of Common Stock at a total cost of $843 million and are authorized to repurchase up to an additional $1.3 billion of Common Stock during the remainder of 2005.

We analyze performance of the segments and Corporate and Other operations of the Financial Services Businesses using a measure called adjusted operating income. See “—Consolidated Results of Operations” for a definition of adjusted operating income and a discussion of its use as a measure of segment operating performance.

35

Shown below are the contributions of each segment to our adjusted operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and a reconciliation of adjusted operating income of our segments to income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change.

Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 presented above reflect the following:

• Improved results from our International Insurance segment, including pre-tax adjusted operating income of $144 million and $250 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from our Gibraltar Life operations, and pre-tax adjusted operating income of $183 million and $362 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from our international insurance operations other than Gibraltar Life. Segment results benefited from continued growth in our Life Planner business, improved investment income margins, a more favorable level of policy benefits and expenses, and our November 1, 2004 acquisition of Aoba Life in Japan.

• Improved results from our Individual Life and Annuities segment. Individual life results benefited from lower expenses, increased fees and increased investment income, net of interest credited and interest expense. The impact of increased asset-based fees and net interest spreads in our individual annuity business was essentially offset by higher expenses as we expanded our distribution platforms and introduced a new generation of product features which resulted in increased variable annuity sales.

36

• Improved results from our Retirement segment reflecting $52 million and $108 million in pre-tax adjusted operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from the retirement business acquired from CIGNA on April 1, 2004. Segment results benefited from mortgage prepayment income amounting to $19 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $30 million for the first half of 2005, and reserve releases from refinements and updates of client census data of $16 million for the second quarter of 2005 and $26 million for the first half of 2005.

• Improved results from our Asset Management segment, including $23 million and $58 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, from two sale transactions completed in 2005 in our proprietary investing business, increased incentive and transaction fees primarily related to management of real estate, and greater fees from administration of managed accounts.

• Group Insurance segment pre-tax adjusted operating income in the current quarter unchanged from the prior year quarter. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 improved over the prior year period as the segment benefited from more favorable group life claims experience during the first quarter of 2005.

• International Investments segment pre-tax adjusted operating income of $20 million and $46 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

• Losses from our Financial Advisory segment, on a pre-tax adjusted operating income basis, of $97 million and $82 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Current quarter results include expenses of $136 million related to obligations and costs we retained in connection with the contributed businesses primarily for litigation and regulatory matters, including an accrual for estimated settlement costs related to market timing issues under discussion with state and federal authorities. These increased costs were partially offset by reduced transition costs resulting from the near completion of the integration of the retail securities brokerage businesses in our joint venture with Wachovia.

• Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related adjustments for the Financial Services Businesses of $322 million and $579 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, reflecting fluctuations in value of hedging instruments covering our foreign currency risk and investments and recovery of principal on a previously defaulted bond.

• Income from continuing operations before income taxes of the Closed Block Business of $198 million and $443 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, including realized investment gains of $210 million and $413 million for these periods.

• Results for the first half of 2005 included benefits to results of several segments in the first quarter of 2005 from collection of income on a previously defaulted bond, which contributed a total of $30 million to pre-tax adjusted operating income.

Accounting Policies & Pronouncements

Accounting Policies Adopted

See Note 2 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the cumulative effect of accounting change from the adoption of Statement of Position 03-1, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts” or, SOP 03-1, which became effective on January 1, 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Share-Based Compensation

See Note 2 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, including the recently issued final standard on accounting for share-based payments, FASB Statement No. 123(R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which we will implement effective January 1, 2006.

37

Share-Based Compensation Awards with Non-Substantive Vesting Conditions

The Company issues employee share-based compensation awards under an authorized plan that are subject to specific vesting conditions; generally the awards vest ratably over a three year period “the nominal vesting period”, or at the date the employee retires (as defined by the plan), if earlier. For awards that specify an employee vests in the award upon retirement, we account for the awards using the nominal vesting period approach. Under this approach, we record compensation expense over the nominal vesting period. If the employee retires before the end of the nominal vesting period, any remaining unrecognized compensation expense is recorded at the date of retirement.

Upon our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we will revise our approach to apply the non-substantive vesting approach to all new share-based compensation awards. Under this approach, compensation cost will be recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if that is expected to occur during the nominal vesting period. We will continue to apply the nominal vesting period approach for any new awards granted prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), and for the remaining portion of then unvested outstanding awards.

If we had accounted for all share-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2003 under the non-substantive vesting period approach, net income of the Financial Services Businesses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 would have been reduced by $0 million and $1 million, respectively, with no reportable impact to the earnings per share of Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, net income would have been reduced by $3 million, or $0.01 per share of Common Stock on a basic and diluted basis, and $10 million, or $0.02 per share of Common Stock on a basic and diluted basis, respectively.

In managing our business, we analyze operating performance separately for our Financial Services Businesses and our Closed Block Business. For the Financial Services Businesses, we analyze our segments’ operating performance using “adjusted operating income.” Results of the Closed Block Business for all periods are evaluated and presented only in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating income does not equate to “income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change” as determined in accordance with GAAP but is the measure of segment profit or loss we use to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, and, consistent with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” is our measure of segment performance. Adjusted operating income is calculated for the segments of the Financial Services Businesses by adjusting each segment’s “income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change” to exclude the following items:

• realized investment gains (losses), net, except as indicated below, and related charges and adjustments;

39

• net investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes; and

• the contribution to income/loss of divested businesses that have been or will be sold or exited that do not qualify for “discontinued operations” accounting treatment under GAAP.

The excluded items are important to an understanding of our overall results of operations. Adjusted operating income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and our definition of adjusted operating income may differ from that used by other companies. However, we believe that the presentation of adjusted operating income as we measure it for management purposes enhances understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability of the Financial Services Businesses. Adjusted operating income excludes “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” other than those associated with terminating hedges of foreign currency earnings and current period yield adjustments, as discussed further below. A significant element of realized investment losses is impairments and losses from sales of credit-impaired securities, the timing of which depends largely on market credit cycles and can vary considerably across periods. The timing of other sales that would result in gains or losses is largely subject to our discretion and influenced by market opportunities. Trends in the underlying profitability of our businesses can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of these transactions. Similarly, adjusted operating income excludes investment gains and losses on trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities and changes in experience-rated contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes, because these recorded changes in asset and liability values will ultimately inure to the contractholders. Adjusted operating income excludes the results of divested businesses because they are not relevant to understanding our ongoing operating results. The contributions to income/loss of wind-down businesses that we have not divested remain in adjusted operating income. See Note 8 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the presentation of segment results.

We include in adjusted operating income the portion of our realized investment gains and losses on derivatives that arises from the termination of contracts used to hedge our foreign currency earnings in the same period that the expected earnings emerge. Similarly, we include in adjusted operating income the portion of our realized gains and losses on derivatives used to manage interest rate and currency exposure on asset and liability mismatches that represents current period yield adjustments for these assets and liabilities. Adjusted operating income also includes for certain embedded derivatives, as current period yield adjustments, a portion of the cumulative realized investment gains, on an amortized basis over the remaining life of the related security, or cumulative realized investment losses in the period incurred.

(1) Revenues exclude Realized investment gains (losses), net, and related charges and adjustments. The related charges represent payments related to the market value adjustment features of certain of our annuity products. For a discussion of these items see “—Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains.”

(2) Benefits and expenses exclude related charges which represent the unfavorable (favorable) impact of Realized investment gains (losses), net, on change in reserves and the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, value of business acquired and deferred sales inducements. For a discussion of these items see “—Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains.”

Adjusted Operating Income

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. The segment’s individual life business adjusted operating income increased $21 million, from $98 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $119 million in the second quarter of 2005. Results for the second quarter of 2005 benefited from lower general and administrative expenses, increased fees and increased investment income, net of interest credited and interest expense, on general account balances reflecting higher asset balances. In addition, results for the current quarter benefited from more favorable claims experience, net of reinsurance, compared to the prior year period, as well as the favorable impact of cumulative increases in the market value of variable life insurance assets.

41

Adjusted operating income of the segment’s individual annuity business increased $7 million, from $94 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $101 million in the second quarter of 2005, including a $6 million benefit in the current period from a refinement in reserves. Adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2005 benefited from higher fees resulting from greater variable annuity account values and improved net interest spread on our general account annuities reflecting improved investment yields, reductions of credited interest rates to policyholders effective as of January 1, 2005 as well as higher asset balances. However, these items were essentially offset by a higher level of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs reflecting the higher level of gross profits and higher expenses associated with expansion of our distribution platforms and distribution costs charged to expense associated with increased variable annuity sales.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. The segment’s individual life business adjusted operating income increased $51 million, from $185 million in the first six months of 2004 to $236 million in the first six months of 2005. The increase reflects lower general and administrative expenses, increased fees and more favorable claims experience, net of reinsurance, compared to the prior year period. In addition, results for the first six months of 2005 include a higher contribution from investment income, net of interest credited and interest expense, reflecting the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond, improved investment yields and higher asset balances compared to the prior year.

Adjusted operating income of the segment’s individual annuity business increased $9 million, from $192 million in the first six months of 2004 to $201 million in the first six months of 2005, including a $6 million benefit in the current period from a refinement in reserves. Adjusted operating income in the first six months of 2005 benefited from higher fees resulting from greater variable annuity account values and improved net interest spread on our general account annuities reflecting improved investment yields, reductions of credited interest rates to policyholders effective as of January 1, 2005 as well as higher asset balances. In addition, results for the first six months of 2005 include the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond. Partially offsetting these benefits were increased operating expenses, including increased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs reflecting the higher level of gross profits and higher expenses associated with expansion of our distribution platforms and distribution costs charged to expense associated with increased variable annuity sales.

Revenues

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. The segment’s individual life insurance business reported revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” of $566 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $515 million in the second quarter of 2004. Premiums increased $19 million, primarily due to increased premiums on term life insurance reflecting growth of our in force block of term insurance products. Policy charges and fee income increased $9 million, reflecting growth in our universal life book of business. Net investment income increased $22 million, primarily due to a higher level of invested assets.

Revenues from the segment’s individual annuity business increased $32 million, from $395 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $427 million in the second quarter 2005. Policy charges and fees increased $21 million, reflecting an increase in the average market value of variable annuity customer accounts. Net investment income increased $10 million, reflecting a higher level of invested assets, as well as increased yields.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. The segment’s individual life business reported revenues of $1.106 billion in the first six months of 2005, compared to $1.022 billion in the first six months of 2004. Premiums increased $30 million, primarily due to increased premiums on term life insurance reflecting growth of our in force block of term insurance products. Policy charges and fee income increased $15 million, reflecting growth in our universal life book of business. Net investment income increased $50 million, reflecting an increased asset base, improved investment yields and the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond. Partially offsetting these items was a decrease in commissions and other income, primarily reflecting a decline in revenues for the distribution of non-proprietary insurance products by our agents, which decline was partially offset by a decline in operating expenses, including agent commissions on sales of these products.

42

Revenues from the segment’s individual annuity business increased $78 million, from $781 million in the first six months of 2004 to $859 million in the first six months of 2005. Policy charges and fees increased $35 million, reflecting an increase in the average market value of variable annuity customer accounts. Net investment income increased $30 million, reflecting a higher level of invested assets, increased yields and the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond. Commissions, investment management fees, and other income increased $7 million, primarily due to an increase in asset based fees.

Benefits and Expenses

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses of the segment’s individual life insurance business, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $30 million, from $417 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $447 million in the second quarter of 2005. Policyholder benefits, including interest credited to policyholder account balances, increased $26 million from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, reflecting growth in our block of business. Interest expense increased $15 million from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, reflecting interest incurred as part of our capital management activities. Partially offsetting these items was a decline in general and administrative expenses reflecting actions previously taken to reduce staffing and occupancy costs.

Benefits and expenses of the segment’s individual annuity business increased $25 million, from $301 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $326 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase reflects increased amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs reflecting the higher level of gross profits in the current period, as well as increased general and administrative expenses costs associated with expansion of our distribution platforms and distribution costs charged to expense associated with increased variable annuity sales.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses of the segment’s individual life business increased $33 million from $837 million in the first six months of 2004 to $870 million in the first six months of 2005. Policyholder benefits, including interest credited to policyholder account balances, increased $34 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting growth in our block of business. Interest expense increased $30 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting interest incurred as part of our capital management activities. Partially offsetting these items was a decline in general and administrative expenses reflecting actions previously taken to reduce staffing and occupancy costs, as well as a decline in commissions paid to our agents for the distribution of non-proprietary insurance products, as discussed above.

Benefits and expenses of the segment’s individual annuity business increased $69 million, from $589 million in the first six months of 2004 to $658 million in the first six months of 2005. Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs increased $32 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting the higher level of gross profits in the current period. General and administrative expenses increased $22 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting costs associated with expansion of our distribution platforms and distribution costs charged to expense associated with increased variable annuity sales. In addition, our asset based costs associated with trail commissions and sub-advisory expenses have increased due to growth in account values. Policyholders’ benefits, including interest credited to policyholders’ account balances, increased $11 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005.

Sales Results and Account Values

The following table sets forth individual life insurance business sales, as measured by scheduled premiums from new sales on an annualized basis and first year excess premiums and deposits on a cash-received basis, and changes in account values for the individual annuity business, for the periods indicated. Sales of the individual life insurance business do not correspond to revenues under GAAP. They are, however, a relevant measure of business activity. In managing our individual life insurance business, we analyze new sales on this basis because

43

it measures the current sales performance of the business, while revenues primarily reflect the renewal persistency and aging of in force policies written in prior years and net investment income as well as current sales. For our individual annuity business, assets are reported at account value, and net sales (redemptions) are gross sales minus redemptions or surrenders and withdrawals, as applicable.

These changes have no impact on beginning total account value or ending total account value for any period.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Sales of new life insurance, excluding corporate-owned life insurance, measured as described above, increased $7 million, from $94 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $101 million in the second quarter of 2005. Sales of our universal life products increased $14 million. This increase was partially offset by declines in sales of our variable life products.

Sales of life insurance by Prudential Agents decreased $6 million, from $60 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $54 million in the second quarter of 2005, reflecting a decline in the number of agents from 4,001 at June 30, 2004 to 3,340 at June 30, 2005. Sales of life insurance by the third party distribution channel, excluding corporate-owned life insurance, increased $13 million from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, reflecting increased universal life sales through this distribution channel, partially offset by lower variable life sales.

Total account values for fixed and variable annuities amounted to $51.5 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.2 billion from March 31, 2005, reflecting increases in market value of customers’ variable annuities of $1.0 billion and net sales of $0.5 billion. Total account values increased $2.8 billion from the prior year quarter, primarily from increases in the market value of customers’ variable annuities. In addition, individual variable annuity gross sales increased by $243 million, from $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2005, reflecting our introduction of new product features late in the first quarter of 2005.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Sales of new life insurance, excluding corporate-owned life insurance, measured as described above, increased $16 million in the first six months of 2005 from the first six months of 2004. Sales of our universal life products increased $33 million. This increase was partially offset by declines in sales of our variable and term life products.

Sales of life insurance by Prudential Agents decreased $8 million, from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting a decline in the number of agents from 4,001 at June 30, 2004 to 3,340 at June 30, 2005. Sales of life insurance by the third party distribution channel, excluding corporate-owned life insurance, increased $24 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting increased universal life sales through this distribution channel, partially offset by lower variable life sales.

Total account values for fixed and variable annuities amounted to $51.5 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $169 million from December 31, 2004. Total account values increased $2.8 billion from the prior year period, primarily from increases in the market value of customers’ variable annuities. Despite an overall decline in industry sales, individual variable annuity gross sales were $3.2 billion in the first six months of 2005, essentially consistent with gross sales in the first six months of 2004. Our strong second quarter sales reflect the introduction of new product features late in the first quarter of 2005.

Policy Surrender Experience

The following table sets forth the individual life insurance business’s policy surrender experience for variable and universal life insurance, measured by cash value of surrenders, for the periods indicated. These amounts do not correspond to expenses under GAAP. In managing this business, we analyze the cash value of surrenders because it is a measure of the degree to which policyholders are maintaining their in force business with us, a driver of future profitability. Our term life insurance products do not provide for cash surrender values.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
	(in millions)
Cash value of surrenders	$	166		$	152		$	321		$	316
Cash value of surrenders as a percentage of mean future benefit reserves, policyholders’ account balances, and separate account balances		3.4	%		3.2	%		3.3	%		3.4	%

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. The total cash value of surrenders increased $14 million, from $152 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $166 million in the second quarter of 2005. The level of surrenders as a percentage of mean future policy benefit reserves, policyholders’ account balances and separate account balances increased slightly from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, reflecting higher surrender activity.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. The total cash value of surrenders increased $5 million in the first six months of 2005 from the first six months of 2004. The level of surrenders as a percentage of mean future policy benefit reserves, policyholders’ account balances and separate account balances remained stable in the first six months of 2005 from the first six months of 2004, as the increased surrenders were consistent with the growth in separate account fund balances.

Adjusted Operating Income

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income was unchanged at $46 million for both the second quarter of 2004 and the second quarter of 2005, as more favorable claims experience in our group disability business was offset by less favorable claims experience in our group life business.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $12 million, from $72 million in the first six months of 2004 to $84 million in the first six months of 2005. This increase reflected higher income from business growth and more favorable mortality experience in our group life insurance business, as well as an increase in net investment income, partially offset by less favorable claims experience in our group disability business.

Revenues

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased by $114 million, from $946 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.060 billion in the second quarter of 2005. Group life insurance premiums increased by $80 million from $562 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $642 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting growth in business in force resulting from new sales and continued strong persistency. Group disability premiums, which include long-term care products, increased by $30 million from $161 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $191 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting growth in business in force resulting from new sales and continued strong persistency.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Revenues increased by $200 million, from $1.912 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $2.112 billion in the first six months of 2005. Group life insurance premiums increased by $145 million from $1.141 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.286 billion in the first six months of 2005, primarily reflecting growth in business in force resulting from new sales and continued strong persistency, which improved slightly from 95% in the first six months of 2004 to 96% in the first six months of 2005, as well as increased premiums on experience-rated group life business corresponding to greater benefits. Group disability premiums, which include long-term care products, increased by $34 million from $331 million in the first six months of 2004 to $365 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily reflecting growth in business in force resulting from new sales and continued strong persistency which improved slightly from 89% in the first six months of 2004 to 90% in the first six months of 2005. Net investment income increased by $26 million reflecting a larger base of invested assets due to business growth and the addition of investments financed by borrowings, as well as $4 million from the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased by $114 million, from $900 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.014 billion in the second quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $102 million in policyholders’ benefits, including the change in policy reserves, reflecting the growth of business in force.

The group life benefits ratio deteriorated 1.5 percentage points from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting less favorable claims experience. The group disability benefits ratio improved 0.3 percentage points from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, due to more favorable claims experience, primarily resulting from an increase in net claim resolutions on our long-term disability products. Both the group life administrative operating expense ratio and the group disability administrative operating expense ratio improved from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting the increase in premiums discussed above.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses increased by $188 million, from $1.840 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $2.028 billion in the first six months of 2005. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $168 million in policyholders’ benefits, including the change in policy reserves, reflecting the growth of business in force and greater benefits on experience-rated group life business which, as discussed above, resulted in increased premiums. Interest expense increased $8 million primarily due to financing costs on borrowings, the proceeds of which were used to purchase invested assets.

The group life benefits ratio improved 0.3 percentage points from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, primarily reflecting more favorable claims experience. The group disability benefits ratio deteriorated by 3.4 percentage points from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting less favorable claims experience. The group life administrative operating expense ratio improved from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, reflecting lower net premium taxes in the current period. The group disability administrative operating expense ratio improved from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, primarily reflecting the increase in premiums discussed above.

Sales Results

The following table sets forth the Group Insurance segment’s new annualized premiums for the periods indicated. In managing our group insurance business, we analyze new annualized premiums, which do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, because new annualized premiums measure the current sales performance of the business unit, while revenues primarily reflect the renewal persistency and aging of in force policies written in prior years and net investment income, in addition to current sales.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004
	(in millions)
New annualized premiums(1):
Group life	$	30	$	34	$	304	$	161
Group disability(2)		46		15		122		105
Total	$	76	$	49	$	426	$	266

(1) Amounts exclude new premiums resulting from rate changes on existing policies, from additional coverage under our Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance contract and from excess premiums on group universal life insurance that build cash value but do not purchase face amounts, and include premiums from the takeover of claim liabilities.

(2) Includes long-term care products.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Total new annualized premiums increased $27 million, or 55%, from $49 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $76 million in the second quarter of 2005. Group disability

48

sales increased primarily in the large case market, reflecting premiums relating to our assumption of existing liabilities, while group life sales remained relatively unchanged.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Total new annualized premiums increased $160 million, or 60%, from $266 million in the first six months of 2004 to $426 million in the first six months of 2005. Group life sales increased primarily due to higher sales to new clients, which included a significant large case sale in the first quarter of 2005. Group disability sales increased primarily in the large case market.

(1) Revenues exclude realized investment gains (losses), net. For a discussion of these items see “—Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains.”

Adjusted Operating Income

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $45 million, from $60 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $105 million in the second quarter of 2005. Current quarter earnings benefited from improved results from our proprietary investing activities, including $23 million from a single sale transaction completed in the second quarter of 2005. Current quarter earnings also benefited from higher incentive and transaction fees primarily related to our management of real estate, and greater managed account fees consistent with an increase in assets under administration. Additionally, the 2004 period includes expenses of $7 million incurred in exiting an operating facility. Reduced income from our commercial mortgage operation partially offset the foregoing factors.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $121 million, from $118 million in the first six months of 2004 to $239 million in the first six months of 2005, which includes a $10 million increase from the management of assets associated with the retirement business acquired from CIGNA. Current period earnings also benefited from improved results from our proprietary investing activities, including $58 million from two sale transactions completed in 2005, as well as from higher incentive and transaction fees primarily related to our management of real estate, and greater managed account fees consistent with an increase in assets under administration. Additionally, the first six months of 2004 includes expenses of $7 million incurred in exiting an operating facility. Reduced income from our commercial mortgage operations partially offset the foregoing factors.

Revenues

The following tables set forth the Asset Management segment’s revenues, presented on a basis consistent with the table above under “—Operating Results,” by source and assets under management for the periods indicated. In managing our business we analyze assets under management, which do not correspond to GAAP assets, because our primary sources of revenues are fees based on assets under management.

This also includes funds invested in proprietary mutual funds through our defined contribution plan products. Revenues from fixed annuities and the fixed rate options of both variable annuities and variable life insurance are included in the general account.

(1) Consists of individual mutual funds, including investments in our mutual funds through wrap-fee products, and both variable annuities and variable life insurance assets in our separate accounts. This also includes funds invested in proprietary mutual funds through our defined contribution plan products. Fixed annuities and the fixed rate options of both variable annuities and variable life insurance are included in the general account.

(2) Consists of third party institutional assets, group insurance contracts, and assets associated with certain proprietary investing activities.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $35 million, from $366 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $401 million in the second quarter of 2005, including $23 million from a single sale transaction in our proprietary investing business completed in 2005. The increase in current period revenues was also driven by improved performance based incentive and transaction fees related to real estate assets under management as well as increased revenues related to program services for certain mutual fund wrap and separately managed account platforms of Wachovia Securities under an agreement currently scheduled to expire, unless extended, on July 1, 2006. Higher fees from the management of institutional and retail customer assets were a result of increased asset values due to net asset inflows during 2004 and 2005, as well as net market appreciation. Partially offsetting this was reduced income

50

from our commercial mortgage operations. Revenues for the second quarter of 2004 include asset management fees of $10 million associated with certain money market mutual fund balances of brokerage clients of Wachovia Securities. These balances were essentially eliminated as of September 30, 2004 due to the replacement of those funds with other investment alternatives for those brokerage clients. The resulting reduction in revenues has been offset by payments from Wachovia under an agreement dated as of July 30, 2004 implementing arrangements with respect to money market mutual funds in connection with the combination of our retail securities brokerage and clearing operations with those of Wachovia. The agreement extends for ten years after termination of the joint venture with Wachovia. The revenue from Wachovia under this agreement, included in revenues from retail customers in the table above, was $12 million and $6 million for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Revenues increased by $106 million, from $713 million for the first six months of 2004 to $819 million for the first six months of 2005, including $58 million from two sale transactions in our proprietary investing business completed in 2005. The remainder of the increase was mainly due to an increase in performance based incentive and transaction fees related to real estate assets under management and increased revenues related to program services for certain mutual fund wrap and separately managed account platforms of Wachovia Securities under an agreement currently scheduled to expire, unless extended, on July 1, 2006. Also contributing to the increase was increased fees for management of assets associated with the retirement business acquired from CIGNA, and higher fees from the management of institutional and retail customer assets as a result of increased asset values due to net asset inflows during 2004 and 2005, as well as net market appreciation. Partially offsetting this was reduced income from our commercial mortgage operations. Revenues for the first six months of 2004 include asset management fees of $23 million associated with certain money market mutual fund balances of brokerage clients of Wachovia Securities subject to the arrangements with Wachovia described above. The revenue from Wachovia under this agreement, included in revenues from retail customers in the table above, was $27 million and $11 million for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Expenses

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” decreased $10 million, from $306 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $296 million in the second quarter of 2005, due primarily to a $10 million reduction in commission expenses associated with money market funds of brokerage clients of Wachovia Securities. These balances were essentially eliminated as of September 30, 2004 due to the replacement of those funds with other investment alternatives for those brokerage clients. Additionally, the second quarter of 2004 includes expenses incurred in exiting an operating facility and termination of activities related to certain of our international investment management operations. Offsetting the foregoing items, were higher asset management expenses associated with separately managed account program services.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Expenses decreased $15 million, from $595 million in the first six months of 2004 to $580 million in the first six months of 2005, due primarily to a $23 million reduction in commission expenses associated with money market funds of brokerage clients of Wachovia Securities subject to the arrangements with Wachovia described above. Additionally, the first six months of 2004 includes expenses incurred in exiting an operating facility and termination of activities related to certain of our international investment management operations. Offsetting this decrease were higher asset management expenses associated with separately managed account program services, as well as higher incentive based compensation costs resulting from favorable performance in the first six months of 2005.

On July 1, 2003, we combined our retail securities brokerage and clearing operations with those of Wachovia Corporation, or Wachovia, and formed Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings, LLC, or Wachovia Securities, a joint venture headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. We have a 38% ownership interest in the joint venture, while Wachovia owns the remaining 62%. The transaction included our securities brokerage operations but did not include our equity sales, trading and research operations. As part of the transaction we retained certain assets and liabilities related to the contributed businesses, including liabilities for certain litigation and regulatory matters. We account for our 38% ownership of the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income decreased $17 million, from a loss of $80 million in the second quarter of 2004 to a loss of $97 million in the second quarter of 2005. The segment’s results for the second quarter of 2005 include our share of earnings from Wachovia Securities, on a pre-tax basis and excluding transition costs, of $47 million, compared to $36 million in the second quarter of 2004. The segment’s results also include expenses of $136 million in the current quarter related to obligations and costs we retained in connection with the contributed businesses primarily for litigation and regulatory matters, including an accrual for estimated settlement costs related to market timing issues under discussion with state and federal authorities, compared to $77 million in the second quarter of 2004. Our results for the second quarter of 2005 include transition costs, including our share of transition costs incurred by the joint venture, of $9 million, compared to $38 million in the year-ago quarter. In addition, results of the segment include adjusted operating income from our equity sales and trading operations of $1 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to a loss of $1 million in the second quarter of 2004.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $12 million, from a loss of $94 million in the first six months of 2004 to a loss of $82 million in the first six months of 2005. The segment’s results for the first six months of 2005 include our share of earnings from Wachovia Securities, on a pre-tax basis and excluding transition costs, of $97 million, compared to $90 million in the first six months of 2004. The segment’s results also include expenses of $163 million in the first six months of 2005 related to obligations and costs we retained in connection with the contributed businesses primarily for litigation and regulatory matters, including an accrual for estimated settlement costs related to market timing issues under discussion with state and federal authorities, compared to $118 million in the first six months of 2004. Our results for the first six months of 2005 include a decrease of $48 million in transition costs, from $68 million in the year-ago period to $20 million for the first six months of 2005. In addition, results of the segment include adjusted operating income from our equity sales and trading operations of $4 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $2 million in the first six months of 2004.

On April 1, 2004, we acquired the retirement business of CIGNA Corporation for cash consideration of $2.1 billion. Beginning April 1, 2004, the results of the former CIGNA retirement business have been included in our consolidated results. The majority of these results are reflected within our Retirement segment, as discussed below, and the remaining portion is reflected in our Asset Management segment. See Note 3 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this acquisition and its purchase price allocation.

Adjusted Operating Income

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $50 million, from $92 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $142 million in the second quarter of 2005. Adjusted operating income from the retirement business acquired from CIGNA increased $16 million, from $36 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $52 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase is primarily due to improved investment results from higher portfolio yields and a larger base of invested assets, partially offset by higher crediting rates on a portion of general account liabilities. Transition costs related to the acquisition were $8 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $10 million in the second quarter of 2004.

53

Adjusted operating income from the segment’s original guaranteed products and defined contribution businesses increased $34 million, from $56 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $90 million in the second quarter of 2005. Results for the second quarter of 2005 benefited by approximately $35 million from mortgage prepayment income and reserve releases mainly reflecting updates of client census data on a group annuity block of business, which items represent a $28 million benefit to the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $153 million, from $144 million in the first six months of 2004 to $297 million in the first six months of 2005. Results for the segment during the first six months of 2005 included adjusted operating income of $108 million from the retirement business we acquired from CIGNA, compared to $36 million in the first six months of 2004, which included only the initial three months of results for these operations. Adjusted operating income for the acquired retirement business for the first six months of 2005 consisted of revenues of $620 million and total benefits and expenses of $512 million. Revenues from the acquired business consisted primarily of $393 million in commissions and other income, comprised mainly of investment income related to trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities and asset management and service fees, and $161 million in net investment income. Benefits and expenses from the acquired business consisted primarily of $319 million of interest credited to policyholders’ account balances and $197 million of general and administrative expense. Transition costs related to the acquisition were $17 million in the first six months of 2005 and $11 million in the first six months of 2004.

Adjusted operating income from the segment’s original guaranteed products and defined contribution businesses increased $81 million, from $108 million in the first six months of 2004 to $189 million in the first six months of 2005. Results for the first six months of 2005 benefited by approximately $56 million from mortgage prepayment income and reserve releases which include updates of client census data on a group annuity block of business, which items represent a $42 million benefit to the current period as compared to the prior year period. In addition, results for the 2005 period benefited from improved investment results, primarily reflecting lower crediting rates on general account liabilities, and from the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond in the first quarter of 2005 amounting to $7 million.

Revenues

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $159 million, from $853 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.012 billion in the second quarter of 2005. Results for the segment include an increase of $36 million of revenue from the business acquired from CIGNA, reflecting improved investment results from higher portfolio yields and a larger base of invested assets. Revenue for the segment’s original businesses, excluding the business acquired from CIGNA, increased by $123 million. Premiums increased $74 million, primarily due to an increase in sales of structured settlements following the upgrade of Prudential Insurance’s financial strength rating by A.M. Best during 2004. Net investment income increased $43 million reflecting a larger base of invested assets due to sales of guaranteed investments in the institutional and retail markets and investments financed by borrowings, as well as greater mortgage prepayment income which increased $18 million in the second quarter of 2005. These factors were partially offset by lower portfolio yields.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Revenues increased $525 million, from $1.430 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.955 billion in the first six months of 2005. Revenue of the business acquired from CIGNA contributed $343 million of this increase as revenue was $620 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $277 million in the first six months of 2004, which included only the initial three months of results for these operations. Revenue for the segment’s original businesses, excluding the business acquired from CIGNA, increased by $182 million. Premiums increased $103 million, primarily due to an increase in sales of structured settlements following the upgrade of Prudential Insurance’s financial strength rating by A.M. Best during 2004. Net investment income increased $71 million reflecting a larger base of invested assets due to sales of guaranteed investments in the institutional and retail markets and investments financed by borrowings. In addition, net

54

investment income for the first quarter of 2005 included $7 million from the collection of investment income on a previously defaulted bond and greater mortgage prepayment income, which increased $20 million to $30 million in the first six months of 2005. These factors were partially offset by lower portfolio yields.

Benefits and Expenses

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $109 million, from $761 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $870 million in the second quarter of 2005. Results for the segment include an increase of $20 million in benefits and expenses from the business acquired from CIGNA, reflecting higher interest credited on general account liabilities as a result of increased customer account balances and higher crediting rates on certain general account liabilities. Benefits and expenses for the segment’s original businesses, excluding the business acquired from CIGNA, increased by $89 million. Policyholders’ benefits, including the change in policy reserves, increased by $62 million reflecting an increase in reserves commensurate with the increase in premiums discussed above, partially offset by reserve releases mainly from updates of client census data on a group annuity block of business. Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances increased $10 million, as interest credited on the greater base of guaranteed investments sold in the institutional and retail markets was partially offset by lower crediting rates on general account liabilities in the defined contribution business. Interest expense increased $18 million primarily due to financing costs on borrowings, the proceeds of which were used to purchase invested assets.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses increased $372 million, from $1.286 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.658 billion in the first six months of 2005. Benefits and expenses of the business acquired from CIGNA contributed $271 million of this increase as benefits and expenses were $512 million in the first six months of 2005, compared to $241 million in the first six months of 2004, which included only the initial three months of results for these operations. Benefits and expenses for the segment’s original businesses, excluding the business acquired from CIGNA, increased by $101 million. Policyholders’ benefits, including the change in policy reserves, increased by $68 million reflecting an increase in reserves commensurate with the increase in premiums discussed above, partially offset by reserve releases mainly from updates of client census data on a group annuity block of business. Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances increased $12 million, as interest credited on the greater base of guaranteed investments sold in the institutional and retail markets was largely offset by lower crediting rates on general account liabilities in the defined contribution business. Interest expense increased $34 million primarily due to financing costs on borrowings, the proceeds of which were used to purchase invested assets.

(1) Prudential’s retirement plan accounted for 7% of sales for both the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Prudential’s retirement plan accounted for 6% and 11% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This sales activity predominantly represents repricing of scheduled maturities. These scheduled maturities are also reflected in withdrawals and therefore have no impact on net sales. Ending total account value includes assets of Prudential’s retirement plan of $10.0 billion and $9.2 billion as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(2) Represents changes in asset balances for externally managed accounts. Includes a $152 million reduction in account value as of January 1, 2004 reflecting the adoption of SOP 03-1.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Account values in our full service defined contribution business amounted to $68.0 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.296 billion from March 31, 2005. The increase in account values was driven by an increase in the market value of mutual funds and separate accounts, slightly offset by net withdrawals of $54 million during the second quarter of 2005. The decrease in net withdrawals from $281 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $54 million in the second quarter of 2005 is primarily attributable to a decrease in client withdrawals.

Account values for guaranteed products amounted to $64.2 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.049 billion from March 31, 2005. The increase in account values was driven by market value increases and client reinvestment of interest income and dividends, slightly offset by net withdrawals of $103 million and a $227 million reduction in externally managed funds during the second quarter of 2005. The decrease in net withdrawals from $617 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $103 million in the second quarter of 2005 is primarily attributable to a decline in withdrawals on our separate account annuity business and an increase in sales of structured settlements.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Account values in our full service defined contribution business amounted to $68.0 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.375 billion from December 31, 2004. The increase in account values was driven by an increase in the market value of mutual funds and separate accounts and net sales of $413 million during the first six months of 2005. Net sales increased $1.105 billion from $692 million of net withdrawals in the first six months of 2004 to $413 million of net sales in the first six months of 2005. The prior period reflects only three months of sales activity from the acquisition of CIGNA’s retirement business, while the current period reflects six months of sales activity which resulted in the majority of the increase in net sales due to a higher rate of withdrawals immediately following the acquisition in 2004. In addition, net sales for our original defined contribution business increased, although to a lesser extent, with an increase in lapses and withdrawals in the first six months of 2005 being more than offset by the withdrawal of approximately $600 million in the first six months of 2004 relating to retirement plans of our retail securities brokerage operations as a result of the combination of those operations with Wachovia Securities.

Account values for guaranteed products amounted to $64.2 billion as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.049 billion from December 31, 2004. The increase in account values was driven by market value increases and client reinvestment of interest income and dividends, offset by a $590 million reduction in externally managed funds and net withdrawals of $73 million during the first six months of 2005. The decrease in net withdrawals from $958 million in the first six months of 2004 to $73 million in the first six months of 2005 is primarily attributable to an increase in net sales of guaranteed investment products in the institutional and retail markets. In addition, the prior period reflects only three months of sales activity from the acquisition of CIGNA’s retirement business, while the current period reflects six months of sales activity. The retirement business acquired from CIGNA contributed a slight increase in net withdrawals that partially offset the decrease in net withdrawals discussed above.

International Insurance and Investments Division

The operations of our International Insurance and International Investments segments are subject to currency fluctuations that can materially affect their U.S. dollar results from period to period even if results on a local currency basis are relatively constant. The financial results of our International Insurance segment for all periods presented and our International Investments segment beginning January 1, 2005 reflect the impact of an intercompany arrangement with Corporate and Other operations pursuant to which the segments’ results of operations in certain countries are translated at fixed currency exchange rates. The fixed rates are determined in connection with a currency hedging program designed to mitigate the risk that unfavorable exchange rate changes will reduce the segments’ U.S. dollar equivalent earnings. Pursuant to this program, Corporate and Other operations executes forward sale contracts with third parties in the hedged currency in exchange for U.S. dollars at a specified exchange rate. The maturities of these contracts correspond with the future periods in which the non-U.S. earnings are expected to be generated. This program is primarily associated with the International Insurance segment’s businesses in Japan, Korea and Taiwan and the International Investments segment’s businesses in Korea and Europe. The intercompany arrangement with Corporate and Other operations decreased revenues and adjusted operating income of the International Insurance segment by $17 million and $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and decreased revenues and adjusted operating income of the International Investments segment by $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The intercompany arrangement with Corporate and Other operations decreased revenues and adjusted operating income of the International Insurance segment by $36 million and $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and decreased revenues and adjusted operating income of the International Investments segment by $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Results of Corporate and Other operations include any differences between the translation adjustments recorded by the segments and the gains or losses recorded from the forward sales contracts.

To provide a better understanding of local operating performance within the International Insurance segment we have analyzed local results, where indicated below, both on the basis of weighted average monthly exchange rates, inclusive of the effects of the intercompany arrangement discussed above, and on the basis of constant exchange rates. When we discuss constant exchange rate information it is on the basis of the average exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2004.

On November 1, 2004, we acquired Aoba Life for a total purchase price of $191 million. Results of Aoba Life for the six months ended June 30, 2005, reflect operations from the date of acquisition and are included as a component of our international insurance operations other than Gibraltar Life. In the first quarter of 2005, Aoba Life was integrated with and merged into our existing Japanese insurance operation, Prudential of Japan.

Adjusted Operating Income

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Gibraltar Life’s adjusted operating income increased $29 million, from $115 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $144 million in the second quarter of 2005, including a $7 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, adjusted operating income of Gibraltar Life increased $22 million, reflecting a $17 million improvement in investment income margins and a more favorable level of policyholders’ benefits and expenses, including a current period benefit of $9 million from refinements in reserves for a block of business, compared to the prior year period which benefited $9 million from the extinguishment of a liability that was established in connection with Gibraltar Life’s reorganization in 2001. The $17 million improvement in investment income margins reflects the effects of certain portfolio strategies implemented in the first quarter of 2005, including increased investments in unhedged U.S. dollar denominated investments.

Adjusted operating income from our international insurance operations, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $54 million, from $129 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $183 million in the second quarter of 2005, including a contribution from the Aoba Life business we acquired on November 1, 2004, which was integrated with our existing Japanese insurance operations during the first quarter of 2005, and a $5 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, adjusted operating income of our international insurance operations, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $49 million, reflecting continued growth of our Japanese insurance operation other than Gibraltar Life and the results of our Aoba Life business, as well as continued growth of our Korean insurance operation. Additionally, adjusted operating income in the current quarter benefited from a more favorable level of policyholder benefits and expenses and improvement in investment income margins reflecting certain portfolio strategies implemented in the first quarter of 2005.

The segment’s increase in adjusted operating income includes the effect of year over year fluctuations in currency exchange rates as well as the impact of our hedging at expected exchange rates. On a constant exchange rate basis, excluding the impact of currency hedging, adjusted operating income of the segment, including results of Gibraltar Life, for the second quarter of 2005 increased $71 million, or 27%, from the second quarter of 2004.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Gibraltar Life’s adjusted operating income increased $41 million, from $209 million in the first six months of 2004 to $250 million in the first six months of 2005, including a $13 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, adjusted operating income of Gibraltar Life increased $28 million, reflecting a $19 million improvement in investment income margins and a more favorable level of policyholders’ benefits and expenses, including a current year benefit of $9 million from refinements in reserves for a block of business, partially offset by the effect of a lower than anticipated level of surrenders in the current year and the benefit in the prior year period from the extinguishment of a liability established in connection with Gibraltar Life’s reorganization. The improvement in investment income margins was the result of the implementation of certain portfolio strategies as described above.

Adjusted operating income from our international insurance operations, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $112 million, from $250 million in the first six months of 2004 to $362 million in the first six months of 2005, including the results from our Aoba Life business, which was integrated with our existing Japanese insurance operations during the first quarter of 2005, and a $12 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, adjusted operating income of our international insurance operations, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $100 million, reflecting continued growth of our Japanese insurance operations other than Gibraltar Life and the results of our Aoba Life business, as well as continued growth of our Korean insurance operation. Additionally, adjusted operating income benefited from a more favorable level of policyholders’ benefits and expenses and increased investment income margins reflecting certain portfolio strategies implemented in the first quarter of 2005, including increased investments in unhedged U.S. dollar denominated investments.

The segment’s increase in adjusted operating income includes the effect of year over year fluctuations in currency exchange rates as well as the impact of our hedging at expected exchange rates. On a constant exchange

59

rate basis, excluding the impact of currency hedging, adjusted operating income of the segment, including results of Gibraltar Life, for the first six months of 2005 increased $128 million, or 26%, from the first six months of 2004.

Revenues

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $273 million, from $1.637 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.910 billion in the second quarter of 2005, including the revenues from our Aoba Life business, and a net favorable impact of $77 million relating to currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, revenues increased $196 million, from $1.676 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.872 billion in the second quarter of 2005. Revenues on this basis from our international insurance operations, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $230 million from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005. This increase in revenues came primarily from increases in premiums and policy charges and fee income of $186 million, from $750 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $936 million in the second quarter of 2005, and an increase in net investment income of $55 million, from $79 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $134 million in the second quarter of 2005. Premiums and policy charges and fee income from our Japanese insurance operation other than Gibraltar Life increased $157 million, from $517 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $674 million in the second quarter of 2005, reflecting business growth and the contribution of the acquired Aoba Life business. Premiums and policy charges and fee income from our Korean operation increased $27 million, from $176 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $203 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increases in premiums and policy charges and fee income are associated with business growth and reflect new sales and strong persistency. The increase in net investment income reflects the favorable effect of certain investment portfolio strategies implemented in the first quarter of 2005 as well as asset growth, including the Aoba Life acquisition.

Revenues for Gibraltar Life declined $10 million, from $824 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $814 million in the second quarter of 2005, including a $24 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of the currency fluctuations, revenues declined $34 million, from $839 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $805 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decline in revenues reflects a $54 million decrease in premiums from single pay contracts for which there is a corresponding decrease in benefits and expenses, partially offset by the $17 million increase in net investment income resulting from certain portfolio strategies implemented in the first quarter of 2005 as described above.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Revenues increased $595 million, from $3.233 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $3.828 billion in the first six months of 2005, including the revenues from our Aoba Life business, and a net favorable impact of $153 million relating to currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, revenues increased $442 million, from $3.282 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $3.724 billion in the first six months of 2005. Revenues, on this basis, from our international insurance operations, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $492 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005. This increase in revenues came primarily from increases in premiums and policy charges and fee income of $373 million, from $1.545 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.918 billion in the first six months of 2005, and an increase in net investment income of $118 million, from $151 million in the first six months of 2004 to $269 million in the first six months of 2005. Premiums and policy charges and fee income from our Japanese insurance operation other than Gibraltar Life increased $312 million, from $1.092 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.404 billion in the first six months of 2005, reflecting business growth and the contribution of the acquired Aoba Life business. Premiums and policy charges and fee income from our Korean operation increased $54 million, from $346 million in the first six months of 2004 to $400 million in the first six months of 2005. The increases in premiums and policy charges and fee income are associated with business growth and reflect new sales and strong persistency. The increase in net investment income reflects the favorable effects of certain investment portfolio strategies implemented in the first quarter of 2005 as well as asset growth, including the Aoba Life acquisition.

60

Revenues for Gibraltar Life declined $3 million, from $1.562 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.559 billion in the first six months of 2005, including a $47 million favorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of the currency fluctuations, revenues declined $50 million, from $1.578 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.528 billion in the first six months of 2005. The decline in revenues reflects a $42 million decrease in premiums from single pay contracts for which there is a corresponding decrease in benefits and expenses, together with expected attrition of older business resulting in a reduction of the face amount of insurance in force, partially offset by the $17 million improvement in net investment income as described above.

Benefits and Expenses

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $190 million, from $1.393 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.583 billion in the second quarter of 2005, including benefits and expenses from our Aoba Life business, and an unfavorable impact of $65 million related to currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, benefits and expenses increased $125 million, from $1.413 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.538 billion in the second quarter of 2005. On the same basis, benefits and expenses of our Japanese insurance operation, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $149 million from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005, including the benefits and expenses from our Aoba Life business. Benefits and expenses from our Korean operation increased $23 million, from $159 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $182 million in second quarter of 2005. The increases in benefits and expenses reflect increases in policyholders’ benefits, including changes in reserves, resulting from the aging of business in force and a greater volume of business in force, which was driven by new sales and strong persistency.

Gibraltar Life’s benefits and expenses declined $39 million, from $709 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $670 million in the second quarter of 2005, including a $17 million unfavorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of the currency fluctuations, benefits and expenses declined $56 million, from $716 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $660 million in the second quarter of 2005, consistent with the lower premiums from single pay contracts described above and a current year benefit of $9 million from refinements in reserves for a block of business. Benefits and expenses in the prior year period benefited $9 million from the extinguishment of a liability that was established in connection with Gibraltar Life’s reorganization in 2001.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses increased $442 million, from $2.774 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $3.216 billion in the first six months of 2005, including benefits and expenses of our Aoba Life business, and an unfavorable impact of $128 million related to currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, benefits and expenses increased $314 million, from $2.785 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $3.099 billion in the first six months of 2005. On the same basis, benefits and expenses of our Japanese insurance operation, other than Gibraltar Life, increased $325 million from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005, including the benefits and expenses from our Aoba Life business. Benefits and expenses from our Korean operation increased $51 million, from $311 million in the first six months of 2004 to $362 million in first six months of 2005. The increases in benefits and expenses reflect increases in policyholders’ benefits, including changes in reserves, resulting from the aging of business in force and a greater volume of business in force, which was driven by new sales and strong persistency, as well as the contribution of the acquired Aoba Life business in Japan.

Gibraltar Life’s benefits and expenses declined $44 million, from $1.353 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.309 billion in the first six months of 2005, including a $34 million unfavorable impact of currency fluctuations. Excluding the impact of the currency fluctuations, benefits and expenses declined $78 million, from $1.353 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.275 billion in the first six months of 2005, consistent with the lower premiums from single pay contracts, expected attrition of older business described above and a current year benefit of $9 million from refinements in reserves for a block of business. Benefits and expenses in the prior year period benefited $9 million from the extinguishment of a liability that was established in connection with Gibraltar Life’s reorganization in 2001.

Sales Results

In managing our international insurance business, we analyze new annualized premiums, which do not correspond to revenues under GAAP, as well as revenues, because new annualized premiums measure the current sales performance of the segment, while revenues reflect the renewal persistency and aging of in force policies written in prior years and net investment income, in addition to current sales. New annualized premiums on an actual and constant exchange rate basis are as follows for the periods indicated.

On a constant exchange rate basis, new annualized premiums increased $106 million, from $227 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $333 million in the second quarter of 2005. On the same basis, new annualized premiums from our Japanese insurance operation other than Gibraltar Life increased $84 million, reflecting sales of U.S. dollar denominated life insurance products with a retirement income feature that were introduced in November 2004 and an increase in the number of Life Planners. Current quarter sales benefited from customer purchases in anticipation of a rate increase that was implemented late in the second quarter. Sales in all other countries, also on a constant exchange rate basis, increased $10 million, primarily reflecting increases in sales of retirement income products in Korea. New annualized premiums from our Gibraltar Life operation increased $12 million, on a constant exchange rate basis, from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005 as sales results in the current quarter benefited $29 million from the sales of single premium insurance contracts, for which the prior year period benefited $21 million, and $10 million from a recently introduced U.S. dollar denominated deferred annuity product.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. On a constant exchange rate basis, new annualized premiums increased $163 million, from $467 million in the first six months of 2004 to $630 million in the first six months of 2005. On the same basis, new annualized premiums from our Japanese insurance operation other than Gibraltar Life increased $125 million, reflecting sales of U.S. dollar denominated life insurance products with a retirement income feature introduced in November 2004 and an increase in the number of Life Planners. Sales in all other countries, also on a constant exchange rate basis, increased $19 million, primarily reflecting increases in sales of retirement income products in Korea. New annualized premiums from our Gibraltar Life operation increased $19 million, on a constant exchange rate basis, from the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005 as sales results in the current period benefited $37 million from the sales of single premium insurance contracts, for which the prior year period benefited $25 million, and $10 million from a recently introduced U.S. dollar denominated deferred annuity product.

Investment Margins and Other Profitability Factors

Many of our insurance products sold in international markets provide for the buildup of cash values for the policyholder at mandated guaranteed interest rates. Japanese authorities regulate interest rates guaranteed in our Japanese insurance contracts. The regulated guaranteed interest rates do not necessarily match the actual returns

62

on the underlying investments. The spread between the actual investment returns and these guaranteed rates of return to the policyholder is an element of the profit or loss that we will experience on these products. With regulatory approval, guaranteed rates may be changed on new business. While these actions enhance our ability to set rates commensurate with available investment returns, the major sources of profitability on our products sold in Japan, other than at Gibraltar, are margins on mortality, morbidity and expense charges rather than investment spreads.

We base premiums and cash values in most countries in which we operate on mandated mortality and morbidity tables. Our mortality and morbidity experience in the International Insurance segment on an overall basis in the first six months of 2005 and the first six months of 2004, was well within our pricing assumptions and below the guaranteed levels reflected in the premiums we charge.

On February 27, 2004, we acquired an 80% interest in Hyundai Investment and Securities Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary Hyundai Investment Trust Management Co., Ltd., a Korean asset management firm, from an agency of the Korean government for $301 million in cash, including $210 million used to repay debt assumed. The acquired company was subsequently renamed Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. The results of these operations are included in our consolidated results beginning March 1, 2004. See Note 3 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this acquisition.

Adjusted Operating Income

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income decreased $5 million, from $25 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $20 million in the second quarter of 2005 reflecting a decrease in earnings due to lower money market account values, as well as a modest decrease in adjusted operating income from Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd. Results for the second quarter of 2005 and 2004 include $6 million and

63

$7 million, respectively, of fee revenue due from the Korean government under an agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., related to the provision of asset management and brokerage services, which agreement extends until February 27, 2009.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income increased $15 million, from $31 million in the first six months of 2004 to $46 million in the first six months of 2005. The first six months of 2005 includes $35 million of earnings from Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., including $12 million of fee revenue due from the Korean government under an agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition related to the provision of asset management and brokerage services, as discussed above. The first six months of 2004 included $19 million of earnings from the initial four months of operation of Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd, including $7 million of fee revenue due from the Korean government.

Revenues

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” decreased $7 million, from $115 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $108 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily reflecting a decrease in revenue due to lower money market account values.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Revenues increased $32 million, from $202 million in the first six months of 2004 to $234 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to our acquisition of Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., as discussed above.

Expenses

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” decreased slightly from $90 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $88 million in the second quarter of 2005 consistent with the decline in revenue due to lower money market account values.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Expenses increased $17 million, from $171 million in the first six months of 2004 to $188 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to our acquisition of Prudential Investment & Securities Co., Ltd., as discussed above.

Corporate and Other Operations

Corporate and Other operations include corporate-level activities, after allocations to our business segments, real estate and relocation services, and businesses that we have placed in wind-down status but have not divested, which, collectively, we refer to as “Other Businesses.”

Corporate-level activities consist primarily of corporate-level income and expenses, after allocations to any of our business segments, income from our qualified pension plans and investment returns on capital that is not deployed in any of our segments. Corporate-level activities includes returns from investments that we do not allocate to any of our business segments, as well as the impact of transactions with other segments.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income from Corporate and Other operations declined $4 million, from $64 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $60 million in the second quarter of 2005. Adjusted operating income from Corporate-level activities decreased by $12 million, from $40 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $28 million in the second quarter of 2005. Corporate-level activities includes income from our qualified pension plan of $103 million in the second quarter of 2005, a decrease of $14 million from $117 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decline includes the impact of a reduction in the expected return on plan assets from 8.75% for 2004 to 8.50% for 2005. Costs incurred for expense reduction initiatives declined from $20 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $5 million in the second quarter of 2005. Corporate-level activities investment income, net of interest expense, declined $11 million from $57 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $46 million in the second quarter of 2005, reflecting increased borrowings.

Adjusted operating income of our real estate and relocation services business was unchanged from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005.

Adjusted operating income of our businesses that we have placed in wind down status improved by $8 million from a loss of $7 million in the second quarter of 2004 to income of $1 million in the second quarter of 2005. The improvement is primarily the result of lower operating expenses.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Adjusted operating income from Corporate and Other operations declined $10 million, from $86 million in the first six months of 2004 to $76 million in the first six months of 2005. Adjusted operating income from Corporate-level activities decreased by $23 million, from $59 million in

65

the first six months of 2004 to $36 million in the first six months of 2005. Corporate-level activities includes income from our qualified pension plan of $206 million in the first six months of 2005, a decrease of $27 million from $233 million in the first six months of 2004. The decline includes the impact of a reduction in the expected return on plan assets from 8.75% for 2004 to 8.50% for 2005. Costs incurred for expense reduction initiatives declined from $32 million in the first six months of 2004 to $6 million in the first six months of 2005. Corporate-level activities investment income, net of interest expense, declined $22 million from $103 million in the first six months of 2004 to $81 million in the first six months of 2005, reflecting increased borrowings.

Adjusted operating income of our real estate and relocation services business increased by $5 million, from $37 million in the first six months of 2004 to $42 million in the first six months of 2005. The improvement is the result of higher revenues in our real estate franchise operations and higher operating income in our real estate financing business due to increased real estate transaction volumes and home prices.

Adjusted operating income of our businesses that we have placed in wind down status improved by $8 million from a loss of $10 million in the first six months of 2004 to a loss of $2 million in the first six months of 2005. The improvement is primarily the result of lower operating expenses.

Results of Operations of Closed Block Business

We established the Closed Block Business effective at the date of demutualization. The Closed Block Business includes our in force traditional participating life insurance and annuity products and assets that are being used for the payment of benefits and policyholder dividends on these policies, as well as other assets and equity and related liabilities that support these policies. We no longer offer these traditional participating policies. See “—Overview—Closed Block Business” for additional details.

At the end of each year, the Board of Directors of Prudential Insurance determines the dividends payable for participating policies for the following year based on the experience of the Closed Block, including investment income, net realized and unrealized investment gains, mortality experience and other factors. Although Closed Block experience for dividend action decisions is based upon statutory results, we developed, as required by GAAP, an actuarial calculation of the timing of the maximum future earnings from the policies included in the Closed Block, and if actual cumulative earnings in any given period are greater than the cumulative earnings we expect, we will record this excess as a policyholder dividend obligation. We will subsequently pay this excess to Closed Block policyholders as an additional dividend unless it is otherwise offset by future Closed Block performance that is less favorable than we originally expected. The policyholder dividends we charge to expense within the Closed Block Business will include any policyholder dividend obligations that we recognize for the excess of actual cumulative earnings in any given period over the cumulative earnings we expect in addition to the actual policyholder dividends declared by the Board of Directors of Prudential Insurance. If cumulative performance is less favorable than we expected, the policyholder dividends we charge to expense within the Closed Block Business will be the actual dividends declared by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has recognized a policyholder dividend obligation to Closed Block policyholders for the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings of $35 million, to be paid to Closed Block policyholders unless otherwise offset by future experience. Actual cumulative earnings, as required by GAAP, reflect the recognition of realized capital gains in the current period. Additionally, net unrealized investment gains have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block due to the impact of lower interest rates on the market value of fixed maturities available for sale. These net unrealized investment gains have been reflected as a policyholder dividend obligation of $3.529 billion as of June 30, 2005 to be paid to Closed Block policyholders, unless otherwise offset by future experience, with an offsetting amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Operating Results

Management does not consider adjusted operating income to assess operating performance of the Closed Block Business. Consequently, results of the Closed Block Business for all periods are presented only in accordance with GAAP. The following table sets forth the Closed Block Business GAAP results for the periods indicated.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Income from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, Extraordinary Gain on Acquisition and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change increased $153 million, from $45 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $198 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to an increase of $150 million in net realized investment gains, from $60 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $210 million in the second quarter of 2005. For a discussion of Closed Block Business realized investment gains (losses), net, see “—Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains.” In addition, a decrease in dividends to policyholders due to a reduction in the 2005 dividend scale was offset by the establishment of a cumulative earnings policyholder dividend obligation.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change increased $226 million, from $217 million in the first six months of 2004 to $443 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to an increase of $148 million in net realized investment gains, from $265 million in the first six months of 2004 to $413 million in the first six months of 2005. For a discussion of Closed Block Business realized investment gains (losses), net, see “—Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains.” In addition, results benefited from an increase in net investment income, net of interest expense, of $46 million in the first six months of 2005, as well as a decrease in dividends to policyholders in the first six months of 2005 primarily due to a reduction in the 2005 dividend scale.

Revenues

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $127 million, from $1.990 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $2.117 billion in the second quarter of 2005. Net realized investment gains increased $150 million from $60 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $210 million in the second quarter of 2005. In addition, net investment income increased by $22 million, from $910 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $932 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to increased mortgage loan prepayments. Partially offsetting these items was a decline in premiums of $40 million, from $1.004 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $964 million in the second quarter of 2005. We expect the decline in premiums for this business to continue as the policies in force in the Closed Block mature or terminate.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Revenues, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” increased $120 million, from $3.978 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $4.098 billion in the first six

67

months of 2005. Net realized investment gains increased $148 million from $265 million in first six months of 2004 to $413 million in the first six months of 2005. In addition, net investment income increased by $61 million, from $1.789 billion the first six months of 2004 to $1.850 billion in first six months of 2005. Partially offsetting these items was a decline in premiums of $83 million, from $1.892 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.809 billion in the first six months of 2005. We expect the decline in premiums for this business to continue as the policies in force in the Closed Block mature or terminate.

Benefits and Expenses

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” decreased $26 million, from $1.945 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.919 billion in the second quarter of 2005. Policyholder benefits and related changes in reserves, including interest credited to policyholders’ accounts, decreased $31 million, from $1.139 billion in the second quarter of 2004 to $1.108 billion in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to the decline in policies in force, as discussed above, as well as reserve refinements recorded in the 2005 period. Dividends to policyholders were essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005 as the benefit from the dividend scale reduction was offset by an increase due to the recognition of a $35 million policyholder dividend obligation representing the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Benefits and expenses, as shown in the table above under “—Operating Results,” decreased $106 million, from $3.761 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $3.655 billion in the first six months of 2005. Policyholder benefits and related changes in reserves, including interest credited to policyholders’ accounts, decreased $61 million, from $2.147 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $2.086 billion in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to the decline in policies in force as well as reserve refinements recorded in the 2005 period. Dividends to policyholders decreased $46 million, from $1.236 billion in the first six months of 2004 to $1.190 billion in the first six months of 2005 as the decrease resulting from the policyholder dividend scale reduction was partially offset by an increase for the recognition of a $35 million policyholder dividend obligation in the first six months of 2005, as discussed above.

Policy Surrender Experience

The following table sets forth policy surrender experience for the Closed Block Business, measured by cash value of surrenders, for the periods indicated. In managing this business, we analyze the cash value of surrenders because it is a measure of the degree to which policyholders are maintaining their in force business with us, a driver of future results.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
	(in millions)
Cash value of surrenders	$	332		$	345		$	684		$	724
Cash value of surrenders as a percentage of mean future policy benefit reserves		2.7	%		2.9	%		2.8	%		3.0	%

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison. The total cash value of surrenders decreased $13 million, from $345 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $332 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily the result of a decline in large surrenders in the current period. The level of surrenders as a percentage of mean future policy benefit reserves decreased from 2.9% in the second quarter of 2004 to 2.7% in the second quarter of 2005.

2005 to 2004 Six Month Comparison. Total cash value of surrenders decreased $40 million, from $724 million in the first six months of 2004 to $684 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily the result of a decline in large surrenders in the current period. The level of surrenders as a percentage of mean future policy benefit reserves decreased from 3.0% in the first six months of 2004 to 2.8% in the first six months of 2005.

Income Taxes

Our income tax provision amounted to $389 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $149 million in the second quarter of 2004, representing 29.6% and 21.6% of income from continuing operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The higher effective rate in the 2005 period was primarily due to a decrease in non-recurring favorable adjustments partially offset by an increase in the dividends received deduction in 2005.

Our income tax provision amounted to $777 million in the first six months of 2005 compared to $369 million in the first six months of 2004, representing 29.5% and 26.4% of income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The higher effective rate in the 2005 period was primarily due to a decrease in non-recurring favorable adjustments partially offset by an increase in the dividends received deduction in 2005.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is in the process of completing its examination of our consolidated federal income tax returns for the 1997 to 2001 periods. As discussed above, current period results reflect non-recurring favorable adjustments to our income tax liabilities, which adjustments primarily relate to issues raised by the IRS as part of this examination, and which issues are no longer deemed to be in contention. However, these issues, as well as all remaining issues outstanding for the 1997 to 2001 periods will be subject to an additional review by the Joint Committee on Taxation. This additional review could take six months or more to be completed. Although the results of this examination and joint committee review are not final, based upon currently available information, we believe the outcome will not have an adverse affect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Discontinued Operations

Included within net income are the results of businesses which are reflected as discontinued operations under GAAP. A summary of the results of discontinued operations by business is as follows for the periods indicated:

On June 30, 2005, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Dryden Wealth Management business, or Dryden, which offers financial advisory, private banking and portfolio management services primarily to retail investors in Europe and Asia, to a subsidiary of Fortis N.V. for a purchase price approximately equal to book value, adjusted for certain pension liabilities to be retained by us and subject to adjustments based on client asset levels and other factors. The book value of Dryden as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $80 million. Completion of the transaction, currently expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2005, is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other conditions to closing. As a result of the agreement to sell, results of Dryden, which commencing with the fourth quarter of 2004 were included in Corporate and Other

69

operations as the results of a divested business, are now included in discontinued operations, as reflected in the table above. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 include $32 million and $38 million, respectively, of transaction and transaction related costs. We estimate we will expend approximately $10 million in additional transaction and transaction related costs during 2005 in connection with the sale.

Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments

Realized Investment Gains

“Realized investment gains (losses), net” primarily include gains and losses resulting from sales and impairments of fixed maturity and equity investments, prepayment premiums we receive on private bond issues, and gains and losses in connection with derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

We perform impairment reviews on an ongoing basis to determine when a decline in value is other than temporary. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary, we consider several factors including, but not limited to, the following: the extent (generally if greater than 20%) and duration (generally if greater than six months) of the decline in value; the reasons for the decline (credit event or interest rate related); our ability and intent to hold our investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer. When we determine that there is an other than temporary impairment we write down the value of the security to its fair value, with a corresponding charge recorded in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” The causes of the impairments discussed below were specific to each individual issuer and did not directly result in impairments to other securities within the same industry or geographic region.

For a further discussion of our policies regarding other than temporary declines in investment value and the related methodology for recording fixed maturity impairments, see “—General Account Investments—Fixed Maturity Securities—Impairments of Fixed Maturity Securities” below. For a further discussion of our policies regarding other than temporary declines in investment value and the related methodology for recording equity impairments, see “—General Account Investments—Equity Securities—Impairments of Equity Securities” below.

The level of impairments generally reflects economic conditions and is expected to increase when economic conditions worsen and to decrease when economic conditions improve. We may realize additional credit-related losses through sales of investments pursuant to our credit risk and portfolio management objectives. We require most issuers of private fixed maturity securities to pay us make-whole yield maintenance payments when they prepay the securities. Prepayments are driven by factors specific to the activities of our borrowers as well as the interest rate environment.

We use derivative contracts to hedge the risk that changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates will affect the market value of certain investments. We also use derivative contracts to mitigate the risk that unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates will reduce U.S. dollar equivalent earnings generated by certain of our non-U.S. businesses. Derivative contracts also include forward purchases and sales of to-be-announced mortgage-backed securities primarily related to our mortgage dollar roll program. Many of these derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, and consequently we recognize the changes in fair value of such contracts from period to period in current earnings, although we do not necessarily account for the hedged assets or liabilities the same way. Accordingly, realized investment gains and losses from our hedging activities can contribute significantly to fluctuations in net income.

Adjusted operating income excludes “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” (other than those associated with terminating hedges of foreign currency earnings and current period yield adjustments) and related charges and adjustments, which are described below.

70

Charges that relate to “Realized investment gains (losses), net” are excluded from adjusted operating income. Related charges, which are offset against net realized investment gains and losses and are not applicable to the Closed Block Business, pertain to policyholder dividends; amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, valuation of business acquired, or VOBA, and unearned revenue reserves; reserves for future policy benefits; payments associated with the market value adjustment features related to certain of the annuity products we sell; and minority interest in consolidated operating subsidiaries. A percentage of net realized investment gains on specified Gibraltar Life assets is required to be paid as dividends to Gibraltar Life policyholders. We amortize deferred policy acquisition costs, VOBA and unearned revenue reserves for certain products based on estimated gross profits, which include net realized investment gains and losses on the underlying invested assets. The related charge for these items represent the amortization related to net realized investment gains and losses. We adjust the reserves for some of our policies when cash flows related to these policies are affected by net realized investment gains and losses, and the related charge for reserves for future policy benefits represents that adjustment. Certain of our annuity products contain a market value adjustment feature that requires us to pay to the contractholder or entitles us to receive from the contractholder, upon surrender, a market value adjustment based on the crediting rates on the contract surrendered compared to crediting rates on newly issued contracts or based on an index rate at the time of purchase compared to an index rate at time of surrender, as applicable. These payments offset the net realized investment gains or losses incurred upon the disposition of the underlying invested assets. The related charge represents the payments or receipts associated with these market value adjustment features. Minority interest expense is recorded for the earnings of consolidated subsidiaries owed to minority investors. The related charge for minority interest in consolidated operating subsidiaries represents the portion of these earnings associated with net realized investment gains and losses. The changes in these related charges from one period to another may be disproportionate to the changes in “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” because the indicated adjustments relate to realized investment gains and losses evaluated over several periods.

Gains and losses pertaining to derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, other than derivatives used for trading purposes, are included in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” This includes mark-to-market adjustments of open contracts as well as periodic settlements. Adjusted operating income includes a portion of realized gains and losses pertaining to certain derivative contracts, as a related adjustment. Pursuant to a currency hedging program, we execute forward sale contracts in the hedged currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars at a specified exchange rate. The maturities of these contracts correspond with future periods in which non-U.S. earnings are expected to be generated. When the contracts are terminated in the same period that the expected earnings emerge, the resulting positive or negative cash flow is included in adjusted operating income. In addition, we utilize interest and currency swaps and other derivatives to manage interest and currency exchange rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities, including duration mismatches. The periodic swap settlements, as well as other derivative related yield adjustments, are included in adjusted operating income to reflect the after-hedge yield of the underlying instruments. For certain embedded derivatives, we also include in adjusted operating income, as a current period yield adjustment, a portion of the cumulative realized investment gains, on an amortized basis over the remaining life of the related security, or cumulative realized investment losses in the period incurred.

Our Japanese insurance operations invest in “reverse dual currency” fixed maturities and loans, which pay interest in U.S. dollars, while the principal is payable in Japanese Yen. For fixed maturities that are categorized as held to maturity, and loans where our intent is to hold them to maturity, the change in value related to foreign currency fluctuations associated with the U.S. dollar interest payments is recorded in “Commissions and other income.” Since these instruments will be held until maturity, the foreign exchange impact will ultimately be realized as net investment income as earned and is therefore excluded from current period adjusted operating income. This change in value related to foreign currency fluctuations recorded within “Commissions and other income” is excluded from adjusted operating income as an adjustment to “Realized investment gains (losses), net.”

As part of the acquisition of CIGNA’s retirement business, we entered into reinsurance agreements with CIGNA, including a modified-coinsurance-with-assumption arrangement that applies to the defined benefit

71

guaranteed-cost contracts acquired. The net results of these contracts are recorded in “Commissions and other income,” as a result of the reinsurance arrangement, and such net results include realized investment gains and losses. These realized investment gains and losses are excluded from adjusted operating income as a related adjustment to “Realized investment gains (losses), net.”

The following tables set forth “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” by investment type for the Financial Services Businesses and Closed Block Business, as well as related charges and adjustments associated with the Financial Services Businesses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. For a discussion of our general account investment portfolio and related results, including overall income yield and investment income, as well our policies regarding other than temporary declines in investment value and the related methodology for recording impairment charges, see “—General Account Investments” below. For additional details regarding adjusted operating income, which is our measure of segment performance, see Note 8 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

Financial Services Businesses

The Financial Services Businesses’ net realized investment gains in the second quarter of 2005 were $300 million, compared to net realized investment gains of $130 million in the second quarter of 2004. Realized gains in the second quarter of 2005 included fixed maturity impairments of $3 million and credit-related losses of $4 million, compared with impairments of $56 million and credit-related losses of $5 million in the second quarter of 2004. For further information on these impairments see the discussion below. Realized gains in the second

72

quarter of 2005 include net losses on sales of fixed maturity securities, partially offset by gains from private bond prepayment premiums. The impact of the fixed maturity impairments and credit-related losses in the second quarter of 2004 were offset by realized gains on sales of fixed maturity securities and private bond prepayment premiums. Realized net gains on equity securities were $12 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with realized net gains on equity securities in the second quarter of 2004 of $53 million, primarily due to sales in our domestic private equity portfolio in the second quarter of 2004. Realized gains in the second quarter of 2005 include net derivative gains of $181 million, compared to net derivative gains of $72 million in the second quarter of 2004. The derivative gains in the second quarter of 2005 were primarily the result of positive mark-to-market adjustments of $96 million on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge the future income of non-U.S. businesses, driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to Japanese Yen and Korean Won. In addition, derivative gains resulted from currency and interest rate swaps as the U.S. dollar strengthened and long-term interest rates fell. The derivative gains in the second quarter of 2004 were primarily the result of gains of $76 million on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge the future income of non-U.S. businesses as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Realized investment gains in the second quarter of 2005 also include a $110 million net gain for a Gibraltar Life settlement with Dai Ichi Fire and Marine Insurance Company related to certain capital investments made by Gibraltar Life’s predecessor, Kyoei Life Insurance Company Ltd., in Dai Ichi. This amount was offset by a $68 million increase in dividends to policyholders in accordance with the reorganization plan entered into at the time of the Company’s acquisition of Gibraltar Life, which is reflected as a related charge. Both of these items are excluded from adjusted operating income.

During the second quarter of 2005, we recorded total other than temporary impairments of $4 million attributable to the Financial Services Businesses, compared to total other than temporary impairments of $58 million attributable to the Financial Services Businesses in the second quarter of 2004. The impairments in the second quarter of 2005 consisted of $3 million relating to fixed maturities and $1 million relating to equity securities. The impairments in the second quarter of 2004 consisted of $56 million relating to fixed maturities and $2 million relating to equity securities.

The impairments recorded on fixed maturities in the second quarter of 2005 consist of $2 million on public securities and $1 million on private securities, compared with fixed maturity impairments of $3 million on public securities and $53 million on private securities in the second quarter of 2004. Impairments in the second quarter of 2005 were concentrated in the manufacturing sector and were primarily driven by downgrades in credit, bankruptcy or other adverse financial conditions of the respective issuers. Impairments in the second quarter of 2004 were concentrated in the financial services and utilities sectors and were primarily driven by downgrades in credit, bankruptcy or other adverse financial conditions of the respective issuers. Included in private fixed maturity impairments for the second quarter of 2004 were impairments related to a Korean financial services company.

Closed Block Business

For the Closed Block Business, net realized investment gains in the second quarter of 2005 were $210 million, compared to net realized investment gains of $60 million in the second quarter of 2004. Net realized gains on fixed maturities were $101 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to net realized losses on fixed maturities of $35 million in the second quarter of 2004. Net realized gains in the second quarter of 2005 related primarily to gains on sales of fixed maturity securities in a declining interest rate environment. Partially offsetting these gains are fixed maturity impairments of $12 million and credit-related losses of $4 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net realized losses on fixed maturity securities in the second quarter of 2004 include fixed maturity impairments of $16 million and credit losses of $1 million. For further information on these impairments see the discussion below. Realized losses in the second quarter of 2004 also include net realized losses on sales of fixed maturity securities in an increasing interest rate environment, partially offset by private bond prepayment premiums. We realized net gains on equity securities of $51 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to net gains of $133 million in the second quarter of 2004, as the second quarter of 2004 reflected an increase in sales as we shifted from a passive index to an active management strategy. Net gains on derivatives were $56 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to net losses of $37 million in the second

73

quarter of 2004. The derivative gains in the second quarter of 2005 primarily related to gains on future contracts used to manage the duration of the Closed Block’s fixed maturity investment portfolio. Derivative losses in the second quarter of 2004 were largely attributed to forward contracts of to-be-announced securities primarily related to our mortgage dollar roll program.

During the second quarter of 2005, we recorded total other than temporary impairments of $14 million attributable to the Closed Block Business, compared to total other than temporary impairments of $18 million attributable to the Closed Block Business in 2004.

Impairments in the second quarter of 2005 were concentrated in the utilities sector and were primarily driven by downgrades in credit, bankruptcy or other adverse financial conditions of the respective issuers. Included in private fixed maturity impairments for the second quarter of 2005 were impairments relating to an electric power plant. Impairments in the second quarter of 2004 were concentrated in the utilities and asset-backed securities sectors and were primarily driven by downgrades in credit, bankruptcy or other adverse financial conditions of the respective issuers.

(1) Yields are annualized, for interim periods, and based on average carrying values except for fixed maturities, equity securities and securities lending activity. Yields for fixed maturities are based on amortized cost. Yields for equity securities are based on cost. Yields for securities lending activity are calculated net of corresponding liabilities and rebate expenses. Yields exclude investment income on assets other than those included in invested assets of the Financial Services Businesses. Prior periods yields are presented on a basis consistent with the current period presentation.

(2) Investment income of securities brokerage, securities trading and banking operations.

The net investment income yield on our general account investments after investment expenses, excluding realized investment gains (losses), was 5.20% and 5.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The net investment income yield attributable to the Financial Services Businesses was 4.64% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 4.59% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in yield is primarily attributable to the increase in commercial loan yields, as the current quarter reflects higher mortgage prepayments, partially offset by declines in fixed maturities yields primarily attributable to the impact of investment activities in a low interest rate environment. The yield on the Financial Services Businesses’ portfolios includes the income yield on the investment portfolio of our Japanese insurance operations, which is discussed in greater detail below.

The net investment income yield attributable to the Closed Block Business was 6.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 6.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in yield for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily due to the impact of investment activities in a low interest rate environment.

(1) Yields are annualized, for interim periods, and based on average carrying values except for fixed maturities, equity securities and securities lending activity. Yields for fixed maturities are based on amortized cost. Yields for equity securities are based on cost. Yields for securities lending activity are calculated net of corresponding liabilities and rebate expenses. Yields exclude investment income on assets other than those included in invested assets of the Financial Services Businesses. Prior periods yields are presented on a basis consistent with the current period presentation.

(2) Investment income of securities brokerage, securities trading and banking operations.

The net investment income yield on our general account investments after investment expenses, excluding realized investment gains (losses), was 5.21% and 5.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The net investment income yield attributable to the Financial Services Businesses was 4.65% for both the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, as an increase in commercial loan yields primarily reflecting higher mortgage prepayments in the current year was offset by declines in fixed maturities primarily attributable to the impact of investment activities in a low interest rate environment and the inclusion of investments related to CIGNA’s retirement business, beginning on April 1, 2004, at yields below the average portfolio yields. The yields on the investments related to CIGNA’s retirement business reflect the adjustment to fair value at the purchase date. The yield on the Financial Services Businesses’ portfolios includes the income yield on the investment portfolio of our Japanese insurance operations, which is discussed in greater detail below.

The net investment income yield attributable to the Closed Block Business was 6.47% for both the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, as an increase in commercial loan yields primarily reflecting higher mortgage prepayments in the current year was offset by declines in fixed maturities primarily attributable to the impact of investment activities in a low interest rate environment.

The yield on the Japanese insurance operations’ portfolios was 2.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in yield on the Japanese insurance portfolio between periods is primarily attributable to an increase in U.S. dollar investments. The yield on fixed maturities above includes the effect of U.S. dollar denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to Yen through third party contracts and provide a yield that is substantially higher than the yield on comparable Japanese fixed maturities. The average value of U.S. dollar denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to Yen through third party contracts over the three months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $4.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, based on amortized costs.

The yield on the Japanese insurance operations’ portfolios was 2.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in yield on the Japanese insurance portfolio between periods is primarily attributable to an increase in U.S. dollar investments and the results from Aoba Life reflected in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as discussed in Note 3 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The yield on fixed maturities above includes the effect of U.S. dollar denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to Yen through third party contracts and provide a yield that is substantially higher than the yield on comparable Japanese fixed maturities. The average value of U.S. dollar denominated fixed maturities that are not hedged to Yen through third party contracts over the six months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004 was approximately $3.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, based on amortized costs.

Continuation of the current low interest rate environment will result in our reinvestment of maturing securities at lower rates and would reduce the yield we are able to earn on our investments, which support our obligations for certain products, including traditional whole life insurance, fixed annuities and guaranteed investment contracts. This reduction in yield would also have a corresponding impact on the “spread,” which is the difference between the yield on our investments and the amounts that we are required to pay our customers related to these products, which could have a negative impact on our future profitability.

Fixed Maturity Securities

Our fixed maturity securities portfolio consists of publicly traded and privately placed debt securities across an array of industry categories. The fixed maturity securities relating to our international insurance operations are predominantly comprised of foreign government securities. Investments in fixed maturity securities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses were $103.5 billion at amortized cost with an estimated fair value of $108.9 billion as of June 30, 2005 versus $100.2 billion at amortized cost with an estimated fair value of $104.7 billion as of December 31, 2004. Investments in fixed maturity securities attributable to the Closed Block Business were $46.6 billion at amortized cost with an estimated fair value of $50.3 billion as of June 30, 2005 versus $45.4 billion at amortized cost with an estimated fair value of $48.8 billion as of December 31, 2004.

Fixed Maturity Securities Credit Quality

The Securities Valuation Office, or SVO, of the NAIC evaluates the investments of insurers for regulatory reporting purposes and assigns fixed maturity securities to one of six categories called “NAIC Designations.” NAIC designations of “1” or “2” include fixed maturities considered investment grade, which include securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s. NAIC Designations of “3” through “6” are referred to as below investment grade, which include securities rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s and BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s. As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents and the completion of the SVO filing process, the fixed maturity portfolio generally includes securities that have not yet been rated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date. Pending receipt of SVO ratings, the categorization of these securities by NAIC designation is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.

85

Investments of our international insurance companies are not subject to NAIC guidelines. Investments of our Japanese insurance operations are regulated locally by the Financial Services Agency, an agency of the Japanese government. The Financial Services Agency has its own investment quality criteria and risk control standards. Our Japanese insurance companies comply with the Financial Services Agency’s credit quality review and risk monitoring guidelines. The credit quality ratings of the non-U.S. dollar denominated investments of our Japanese insurance companies are based on ratings assigned by Moody’s or rating equivalents based on Japanese government ratings.

The amortized cost of our public and private below investment grade fixed maturities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses totaled $5.8 billion, or 6%, of the total fixed maturities as of June 30, 2005 and $5.5 billion, or 5%, of the total fixed maturities as of December 31, 2004. Below investment grade fixed maturities represented 14% of the gross unrealized losses attributable to the Financial Services Businesses as of June 30, 2005, versus 16% of gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2004.

The amortized cost of our public and private below investment grade fixed maturities attributable to the Closed Block Business totaled $5.4 billion, or 11%, of the total fixed maturities as of June 30, 2005 and $5.2 billion, or 11%, of the total fixed maturities as of December 31, 2004. Below investment grade fixed maturities represented 39% of the gross unrealized losses attributable to the Closed Block Business as of June 30, 2005, versus 20% of gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2004.

Credit Derivative Exposure to Public Fixed Maturities

In addition to the credit exposure from public fixed maturities noted above, we sell credit derivatives to enhance the return on our investment portfolio by creating credit exposure similar to an investment in public fixed maturity cash instruments.

In a credit derivative we sell credit protection on an identified name, or a basket of names in a first to default structure, and in return receive a quarterly premium. With single name credit default derivatives, this premium or credit spread generally corresponds to the difference between the yield on the referenced name’s public fixed maturity cash instruments and swap rates, at the time the agreement is executed. With first to default baskets, the premium generally corresponds to a high proportion of the sum of the credit spreads of the names in the basket. If there is an event of default by the referenced name or one of the referenced names in a basket, as defined by the agreement, then we are obligated to pay the counterparty the referenced amount of the contract and receive in return the referenced defaulted security or similar security.

The referenced names in the credit derivatives where we have sold credit protection, as well as the counterparties to these agreements, are all investment grade credit quality and our credit derivatives generally have maturities of five years or less. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 we had approximately $667 million and $628 million, respectively, in outstanding notional amounts of credit derivative contracts where we have sold credit protection. As of June 30, 2005 approximately 55% and 45% of the outstanding notional amounts relate to the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business, respectively, compared to 57% and 43%, respectively, as of December 31, 2004. Credit derivative contracts are recorded at fair value with

88

changes in fair value, including the premium received, recorded in “Realized investment gains (losses), net.” The premium received for the credit derivatives we sell is included in adjusted operating income as an adjustment to “Realized investment gains (losses), net” over the life of the derivative.

In addition to selling credit protection, in limited instances we have purchased credit protection using credit derivatives in order to hedge specific credit exposures in our investment portfolio. Similar to the above, the premium paid for the credit derivatives we purchase is included in adjusted operating income as an adjustment to “Realized investment gains (losses), net” over the life of the derivative.

Unrealized Losses from Fixed Maturity Securities

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and gross unrealized losses of fixed maturity securities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses where the estimated fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by 20% or more for the following timeframes:

Impairments of Fixed Maturity Securities

We maintain separate monitoring processes for public and private fixed maturities and create watch lists to highlight securities that require special scrutiny and management. Our public fixed maturity asset managers formally review all public fixed maturity holdings on a quarterly basis and more frequently when necessary to

89

identify potential credit deterioration whether due to ratings downgrades, unexpected price variances, and/or industry specific concerns. We classify public fixed maturity securities of issuers that have defaulted as securities not in good standing and all other public watch list assets as closely monitored.

For private placements our credit and portfolio management processes help ensure prudent controls over valuation and management. We have separate pricing and authorization processes to establish “checks and balances” for new investments. We apply consistent standards of credit analysis and due diligence for all transactions, whether they originate through our own in-house origination staff or through agents. Our regional offices closely monitor the portfolios in their regions. We set all valuation standards centrally, and we assess the fair value of all investments quarterly.

Our private fixed maturity asset managers conduct specific servicing tests on each investment on an ongoing basis to determine whether the investment is in compliance or should be placed on the watch list or assigned an early warning classification. We assign early warning classifications to those issuers that have failed a servicing test or experienced a minor covenant default, and we continue to monitor them for improvement or deterioration. In certain situations, the general account benefits from negotiated rate increases or fees resulting from a covenant breach. We assign closely monitored status to those investments that have been recently restructured or for which restructuring is a possibility due to substantial credit deterioration or material covenant defaults. We classify as not in good standing securities of issuers that are in more severe conditions, for example, bankruptcy or payment default.

Fixed maturity securities classified as held to maturity are those securities where we have the intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. These securities are reflected at amortized cost in our consolidated statement of financial position. Other fixed maturity securities are considered available for sale, and, as a result, we record unrealized gains and losses to the extent that amortized cost is different from estimated fair value. All held to maturity securities and all available for sale securities with unrealized losses are subject to our review to identify other-than-temporary impairments in value. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, we consider several factors including, but not limited to, the following:

• the extent (generally if greater than 20%) and the duration (generally if greater than six months) of the decline;

• the reasons for the decline in value (credit event or interest rate related);

• our ability and intent to hold our investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and

• the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer.

When we determine that there is an other-than-temporary impairment, we record a writedown to estimated fair value, which reduces the cost basis. The new cost basis of an impaired security is not adjusted for subsequent increases in estimated fair value. Estimated fair values for fixed maturities, other than private placement securities, are based on quoted market prices or prices obtained from independent pricing services. Estimated fair values for private placement fixed maturities are determined primarily by using a discounted cash flow model which considers the current market spreads between the U.S. Treasury yield curve and corporate bond yield curve, adjusted for type of issue, its current credit quality and its remaining average life. The estimated fair value of certain non-performing private placement fixed maturities is based on management’s estimates.

Impairments of fixed maturity securities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses were $3 million and $56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $8 million and $78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Impairments of fixed maturity securities attributable to the Closed Block Business were $12 million and $16 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $19 million and $30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Trading Account Assets Supporting Insurance Liabilities

Certain products included in the retirement business we acquired from CIGNA, as well as certain products included in the International Insurance segment, are experience-rated, meaning that the investment results associated with these products will ultimately inure to contractholders. The investments supporting these experience-rated products, excluding commercial loans, are classified as trading. These trading investments are reflected on the balance sheet as “Trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, at fair value.” All investment results, which include realized and unrealized gains and losses, as well as net investment income, for these investments are reported in “Commissions and other income.” Investment results on these assets will ultimately inure to contractholders. The following table sets forth the composition of our “trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities” portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Commercial Loan Quality

We establish valuation allowances for loans that are determined to be non-performing as a result of our loan review process. We define a non-performing loan as a loan for which it is probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Valuation allowances for a non-performing loan are recorded based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or based on the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. We record subsequent adjustments to our valuation allowances when appropriate.

The following table sets forth the gross carrying value for commercial loans by loan classification as of the dates indicated:

Impairments of Equity Securities

For those equity securities classified as available-for-sale we record unrealized gains and losses to the extent cost is different from estimated fair value. All securities with unrealized losses are subject to our review to identify other-than-temporary impairments in value. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, we consider several factors including, but not limited to, the following:

• the extent (generally if greater than 20%) and the duration (generally if greater than six months) of the decline;

• the reasons for the decline in value (credit event or market fluctuation);

• our ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value; and

• the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer.

When we determine that there is an other-than-temporary impairment, we record a writedown to estimated fair value, which reduces the cost basis. The new cost basis of an impaired security is not adjusted for subsequent

96

increases in estimated fair value. Estimated fair values for publicly traded equity securities are based on quoted market prices or prices obtained from independent pricing services. Estimated fair values for privately traded equity securities are determined using valuation and discounted cash flow models that call for a substantial level of judgment from management.

Impairments of equity securities attributable to the Financial Services Businesses were $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1 million and $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Impairments of equity securities attributable to the Closed Block Business were $2 million and $0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $3 million and $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Trading Account Assets Supporting Insurance Liabilities

Certain products included in the retirement business we acquired from CIGNA, as well as certain products included in the International Insurance segment, are experience-rated, meaning that the investment results associated with these products will ultimately inure to contractholders. The investments supporting these experience-rated products, excluding mortgage loans, are classified as trading. These trading investments are reflected on the balance sheet as “Trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, at fair value” and all investment results are reported in “Commissions and other income.” Results for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include the recognition of $193 million of investment gains and $322 million of investment losses, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include the recognition of $63 million of investment gains and $272 million of investment losses, respectively, on “Trading account assets supporting insurance liabilities, at fair value.” These gains and losses primarily represent interest-rate related mark-to-market adjustments on fixed maturity securities. Consistent with our treatment of “Realized investment gains (losses), net,” these gains and losses, which will ultimately inure to the contractholders, are excluded from adjusted operating income. In addition, results for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include increases of $148 million and decreases of $183 million, respectively, and results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include increases of $62 million and decreases of $133 million, respectively, in contractholder liabilities due to asset value changes in the pool of investments that support these experience-rated contracts. These liability changes are reflected in “Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances” and are also excluded from adjusted operating income. As prescribed by GAAP, changes in the fair value of mortgage loans, other than when associated with impairments, are not recognized in income in the current period, while the impact of these changes in mortgage loan value are reflected as a change in the liability to contractholders in the current period. Included in the amounts above related to the change in the liability to contractholders is a change

97

related to mortgage loans of a $37 million increase and a $44 million decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and a $8 million increase and a $44 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Divested Businesses

Our income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change includes results from several businesses that have been or will be sold or exited that do not qualify for “discontinued operations” accounting treatment under GAAP. The results of these divested businesses are reflected in our Corporate and Other operations, but excluded from adjusted operating income. A summary of the income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary gain on acquisition and cumulative effect of accounting change for these businesses is as follows for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prudential Financial

The principal sources of funds available to Prudential Financial, the parent holding company, to meet its obligations, including the payment of shareholder dividends, debt service, operating expense, capital contributions and obligations to subsidiaries are cash and short-term investments, dividends, returns of capital and interest income from its subsidiaries. These sources of funds are complemented by Prudential Financial’s access to the capital markets and bank facilities. We believe that cash flows from these sources are sufficient to satisfy the current liquidity requirements of Prudential Financial, including reasonably foreseeable contingencies. As of June 30, 2005, Prudential Financial had cash and short-term investments of approximately $792 million, an increase of $316 million, or 66%, from December 31, 2004. Prudential Financial’s principal sources and uses of cash and short-term investments for the first six months of 2005 were as follows:

(6) Includes net payments under intercompany loan agreements, including a $150 million repayment of an intercompany note issued to Prudential Insurance at the time of demutualization.

Sources of Capital

Prudential Financial is a holding company with insubstantial assets other than investments in subsidiaries. Its capitalization and use of financial leverage are consistent with its ratings targets. Its subsidiaries and businesses are also capitalized in accordance with their ratings targets. Our financial strength rating targets for

99

our domestic life insurance companies are “AA/Aa/AA” for Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, or S&P, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or Moody’s, and Fitch Ratings Ltd., or Fitch, respectively, and “A+” for A.M. Best Company, or A.M. Best. Our long-term senior debt rating objectives for Prudential Financial are “A” for S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and “a” for A.M. Best. For updates to our ratings since December 31, 2004, see “—Ratings.” The primary components of capitalization for the Financial Services Businesses consist of the equity we attribute to the Financial Services Businesses (excluding unrealized gains and losses on investments) and outstanding capital debt of the Financial Services Businesses, as discussed below under “—Financing Activities.” Based on these components, the capital position of the Financial Services Businesses as of June 30, 2005 was as follows:

	June 30, 2005
	(in millions)
Attributed equity (excluding unrealized gains and losses on investments)	$	20,311
Capital debt		3,727
Total capital	$	24,038

As shown in the table above, as of June 30, 2005 the Financial Services Businesses had approximately $24 billion in capital, all of which was available to support the aggregate capital requirements of its three divisions and its Corporate and Other operations. Based on our assessments of these businesses and operations, we believe that the capital of the Financial Services Businesses exceeds the amount required to support its current business risks. We believe that this excess capital, combined with unused borrowing capacity as discussed below, exceeds $3.0 billion. Although some of these resources are in our regulated subsidiaries, and their availability is subject to prior regulatory notice, approval or non-disapproval, we believe these resources give us substantial financial flexibility.

The Risk Based Capital, or RBC, ratio is the primary measure by which we evaluate the capital adequacy of Prudential Insurance, which encompasses businesses of both the Financial Services Businesses and the Closed Block Business. We manage Prudential Insurance’s RBC ratio to a level consistent with our ratings targets. RBC is determined by statutory formulas that consider risks related to the type and quality of the invested assets, insurance-related risks associated with Prudential Insurance’s products, interest rate risks and general business risks. The RBC ratio calculations are intended to assist insurance regulators in measuring the adequacy of Prudential Insurance’s statutory capitalization.

We have completed the process of arranging reinsurance of the Closed Block. As of June 30, 2005, we had reinsured 90% of the Closed Block, including 17% with a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial. Entering into these arrangements allows the RBC formula treatment of the Closed Block to reflect the economic risk profile of the Closed Block more closely. The Closed Block continues to be adequately capitalized to meet its future obligations, as discussed under “—Overview—Closed Block Business.”

We also consider borrowing capacity in evaluating the capital position and financial flexibility of the Financial Services Businesses. We believe that a ratio of capital debt to total capital of 20% or less is consistent with our ratings objectives for Prudential Financial. Our ratio as of June 30, 2005 of 15.5% implies that the Financial Services Businesses could incur up to $1.4 billion in additional capital debt consistent with our ratings objectives.

During the first half of 2005, we used available capital from International Insurance businesses to fund a loan to an affiliate.

In the second quarter of 2005, Prudential Insurance declared a dividend of $1.486 billion to Prudential Holdings, LLC. The portion of this dividend not allocated to the Closed Block Business ($969 million) was in turn paid to Prudential Financial. On July 29, 2005, Prudential Insurance submitted a request to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance for an extraordinary dividend of $764 million. The request is subject to a

100

30 day prior non-disapproval period. See “—Restrictions on Dividends and Returns of Capital from Subsidiaries.” If approved, we expect the Finance Committee of Prudential Insurance’s Board of Directors to approve and declare the dividend to its sole shareholder, Prudential Holdings, LLC, which will ultimately distribute the dividend to Prudential Financial.

Uses of Capital

Share Repurchases. During the first six months of 2005, the Company acquired 14.3 million shares of its Common Stock at a total cost of approximately $843 million.

On November 9, 2004, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which Prudential Financial is authorized to purchase up to $1.5 billion of its outstanding Common Stock in 2005. Effective June 7, 2005, Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program from $1.5 billion to $2.1 billion for calendar year 2005. The timing and amount of any repurchases under the authorization will be determined by management based on market conditions and other considerations, and such repurchases may be effected in the open market or through negotiated transactions. This stock repurchase program supersedes all previous repurchase programs.

Demutualization Consideration. In the first six months of 2005, Prudential Financial paid $120 million in demutualization consideration to eligible policyholders whom we have located since the time of demutualization and to governmental authorities in respect of other eligible policyholders we continue to be unable to locate. We remain obligated to disburse $366 million of demutualization consideration to state agencies if we are unable to establish contact with eligible policyholders within time periods prescribed by state unclaimed property laws. These laws historically required remittance after periods ranging from three to seven years, but in recent years many states have enacted laws that reduce these holding periods to accelerate the reporting of unclaimed demutualization property. Liabilities relating to demutualization consideration payments were established at the time of demutualization in 2001.

Restrictions on Dividends and Returns of Capital from Subsidiaries

Our insurance and various other companies are subject to regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends and on other transfers of funds to affiliates. With respect to Prudential Insurance, New Jersey insurance law provides that, except in the case of extraordinary dividends or distributions, all dividends or distributions paid by Prudential Insurance may be declared or paid only from unassigned surplus, as determined pursuant to statutory accounting principles, less unrealized investment gains and revaluation of assets. Prudential Insurance also must notify the New Jersey insurance regulator of its intent to pay a dividend. If the dividend, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding twelve months, would exceed a specified statutory limit, Prudential Insurance must also obtain the prior non-disapproval of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. The current statutory limitation applicable to New Jersey life insurers generally is the greater of 10% of the prior calendar year’s statutory surplus or the prior calendar year’s statutory net gain from operations excluding realized investment gains and losses. In addition to these regulatory limitations, the terms of the IHC debt contain restrictions potentially limiting dividends by Prudential Insurance applicable to the Financial Services Businesses in the event the Closed Block Business is in financial distress and under other circumstances.

The laws regulating dividends of the other states and foreign jurisdictions where our other insurance companies are domiciled are similar, but not identical, to New Jersey’s. Pursuant to Gibraltar Life’s reorganization, in addition to regulatory restrictions, there are certain restrictions on Gibraltar Life’s ability to pay dividends to Prudential Financial. There are also regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by The Prudential Life Insurance Company, Ltd. or, Prudential of Japan. We anticipate that it will be several years before these restrictions will allow Gibraltar Life and Prudential of Japan to pay dividends. The ability of our asset management subsidiaries, and the majority of our other operating subsidiaries, to pay dividends is largely unrestricted.

Liquidity of Subsidiaries

Domestic Insurance Subsidiaries

General Liquidity

Liquidity refers to a company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the needs of its operations. We manage the liquidity of our domestic insurance operations to ensure stable, reliable and cost-effective sources of cash flows to meet all of our obligations. Liquidity is provided by a variety of sources, as described more fully below, including portfolios of liquid assets. The investment portfolios of our domestic and foreign insurance operations are integral to the overall liquidity of those operations. We segment our investment portfolios and employ an asset/liability management approach specific to the requirements of our product lines. This enhances the discipline applied in managing the liquidity, as well as the interest rate and credit risk profiles, of each portfolio in a manner consistent with the unique characteristics of the product liabilities. A projection process for cash flows from operations serves to ensure there is sufficient liquidity to meet projected cash outflows, including claims.

Liquidity is measured against internally developed benchmarks that take into account the characteristics of the asset portfolio. The results are affected substantially by the overall quality of our investments.

Cash Flow

The principal sources of liquidity of Prudential Insurance and our other domestic insurance subsidiaries are premiums and annuity considerations, investment and fee income and investment maturities and sales associated with our insurance, annuities and guaranteed products operations. The principal uses of that liquidity include benefits, claims, dividends paid to policyholders, and payments to policyholders and contractholders in connection with surrenders, withdrawals and net policy loan activity. Other uses of liquidity include commissions, general and administrative expenses, purchases of investments, and payments in connection with financing activities.

We believe that the cash flows from our insurance, annuity and guaranteed products operations are adequate to satisfy the current liquidity requirements of these operations, including reasonably foreseeable stress scenarios. The continued adequacy of this liquidity will depend upon factors such as future securities market conditions, changes in interest rate levels and policyholder perceptions of our financial strength, each of which could lead to reduced cash inflows or increased cash outflows.

The domestic insurance operations’ cash flows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, proceeds from maturities and sales of invested assets and investment income, net of amounts reinvested. The primary liquidity risks with respect to these cash flows are the risk of default by debtors, our counterparties’ willingness to extend repurchase and/or securities lending arrangements, and market volatility. We closely manage these risks through our credit risk management process and regular monitoring of our liquidity position.

102

In managing the liquidity of our domestic insurance operations, we also consider the risk of policyholder and contractholder withdrawals of funds earlier than our assumptions in selecting assets to support these contractual obligations. We use surrender charges and other contract provisions to mitigate the extent, timing and profitability impact of withdrawals of funds by customers from annuity contracts and deposit liabilities. The following table sets forth withdrawal characteristics of our general account annuity reserves and deposit liabilities (based on statutory liability values) as of the dates indicated.

	June 30, 2005				December 31, 2004
	Amount		% of Total		Amount		% of Total
	($ in millions)
Not subject to discretionary withdrawal provisions	$	23,851	37	%	$	22,229	36	%
Subject to discretionary withdrawal, with adjustment:
With market value adjustment		19,004	30			18,445	30
At market value		1,250	2			1,146	2
At contract value, less surrender charge of 5% or more		2,740	4			2,683	4
Subtotal		46,845	73			44,503	72
Subject to discretionary withdrawal at contract value with no surrender charge or surrender charge of less than 5%		16,982	27			17,130	28
Total annuity reserves and deposit liabilities	$	63,827	100	%	$	61,633	100	%

Gross account withdrawals for our domestic insurance operations’ products amounted to $8.2 billion, including $3.8 billion associated with the businesses of PRIAC, and $5.4 billion for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. These withdrawals include contractually scheduled maturities of general account guaranteed investment contracts of $1,305 million and $724 million for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Because these contractual withdrawals, as well as the level of surrenders experienced, were consistent with our assumptions in asset/liability management, the associated cash outflows did not have a material adverse impact on our overall liquidity.

Individual life insurance policies are less susceptible to withdrawal than our annuity reserves and deposit liabilities because policyholders may incur surrender charges and undergo a new underwriting process in order to obtain a new insurance policy. Annuity benefits under group annuity contracts are generally not subject to early withdrawal.

Liquid Assets

Liquid assets include cash, cash-equivalents, short-term investments, fixed maturity and public equity securities. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our domestic insurance operations had liquid assets of $137.4 billion and $132.8 billion, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, $115.5 billion, or 91%, of the fixed maturity investments held in our domestic insurance company general account portfolios were rated investment grade. The remaining $11.0 billion, or 9%, of fixed maturity investments were rated non-investment grade. We consider attributes of the various categories of liquid assets (for example, type of asset and credit quality) in calculating internal liquidity benchmark results in order to evaluate the adequacy of our domestic insurance operations’ liquidity under a variety of stress scenarios. We believe that the liquidity profile of our assets is sufficient to satisfy current liquidity requirements, including foreseeable stress scenarios.

Given the size and liquidity profile of our investment portfolios, we believe that claim experience varying from our projections does not constitute a significant liquidity risk. Our asset/liability management process takes into account the expected maturity of investments and expected payment of loss reserves as well as the specific nature and risk profile of the liabilities. Historically, there has been no significant variation between the expected maturities of our investments and the payment of loss reserves.

103

Our domestic insurance companies’ liquidity is managed through access to substantial investment portfolios as well as a variety of instruments available for funding and/or managing short-term cash flow mismatches, including from time to time those arising from claim levels in excess of projections. To the extent we need to pay claims in excess of projections, we may borrow temporarily or sell investments sooner than anticipated to pay these claims, which may result in realized investment gains or losses or increased borrowing costs affecting results of operations. For a further discussion of realized investment gains or losses, see “—Realized Investment Gains and General Account Investments—Realized Investment Gains.” We believe that borrowing temporarily or selling investments earlier than anticipated will not have a material impact on the liquidity of our domestic insurance companies. Payment of claims and sale of investments earlier than anticipated would have an impact on the reported level of cash flow from operating and investing activities, respectively, in our financial statements.

Prudential Funding, LLC

Prudential Funding, LLC, or Prudential Funding, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Insurance, continues to serve as a source of financing for Prudential Insurance and its subsidiaries, as well as for other subsidiaries of Prudential Financial. Prudential Funding operates under a support agreement with Prudential Insurance whereby Prudential Insurance has agreed to maintain Prudential Funding’s positive tangible net worth at all times. Prudential Funding borrows funds primarily through the direct issuance of commercial paper. Prudential Funding’s outstanding loans to other subsidiaries of Prudential Financial have declined over time as it transitions into a financing company primarily for Prudential Insurance and its remaining subsidiaries. While our other subsidiaries continue to borrow from Prudential Funding, they also borrow from Prudential Financial and directly from third parties. The impact of Prudential Funding on liquidity is considered in the internal liquidity benchmarks of the domestic insurance operations.

As of June 30, 2005, Prudential Financial, Prudential Insurance and Prudential Funding had unsecured committed lines of credit totaling $2.5 billion. Currently, Prudential Insurance and Prudential Funding have access to $1.5 billion of these lines and there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities as of June 30, 2005. For a further discussion on lines of credit, see “—Financing Activities—Lines of Credit and Other Credit Facilities.”

International Insurance Subsidiaries

In our international insurance operations, liquidity is provided through ongoing operations as well as portfolios of liquid assets. In managing the liquidity and the interest and credit risk profiles of our international insurance portfolios, we employ a discipline similar to the discipline employed for domestic insurance subsidiaries. Liquidity is monitored through the use of internal liquidity benchmarks taking into account the liquidity of the asset portfolios.

As with our domestic operations, in managing the liquidity of these operations we consider the risk of policyholder and contractholder withdrawals of funds earlier than our assumptions in selecting assets to support these contractual obligations. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our international insurance subsidiaries had total general account insurance related liabilities (other than dividends payable to policyholders) of $46.9 billion and $48.6 billion, respectively. Of those amounts, $28.1 billion and $29.7 billion, respectively, were associated with Gibraltar Life, our largest international insurance subsidiary. Concurrent with our acquisition of Gibraltar Life in April 2001, substantially all of its insurance liabilities were restructured, under the reorganization of Gibraltar Life, to include special surrender penalties on existing policies. These charges mitigate the extent, timing, and profitability impact of withdrawals of funds by customers and apply to $23.8 billion and $25.8 billion of Gibraltar Life’s insurance related reserves as of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. The following table sets forth the schedule (for each fiscal year ending March 31) of special surrender charges on policies that are in force:

2005	2006		2007		2008		2009
10%	8	%	6	%	4	%	2	%

104

Policies issued by Gibraltar Life post-acquisition are not subject to the above restructured policy surrender charge schedule. Policies issued post-acquisition are generally subject to discretionary withdrawal at contract value, less applicable surrender charges, which currently start at 5% or more.

In the years 2005 and 2009, a special dividend to certain Gibraltar Life policyholders will be payable based on 70% of net realized investment gains, if any, over the value of certain real estate and loans, net of transaction costs and taxes, included in the Gibraltar Life reorganization plan. As of June 30, 2005, a liability of $1.022 billion was included in “Policyholders’ Dividends” to cover the special dividend. The special dividend will take the form of either additional policy values or cash. We expect that the 2005 installment will be approximately $707 million and will be mostly in the form of additional policy values. Gibraltar Life’s investment portfolio is structured to provide adequate liquidity for the special dividend.

Prudential of Japan, with $15.8 billion and $16.3 billion of general account insurance related liabilities (other than dividends to policyholders) as of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively, is our second largest international insurance subsidiary. Prudential of Japan did not have a material amount of general account annuity reserves and deposit liabilities subject to discretionary withdrawal as of June 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004. Additionally, we believe that the individual life insurance policies sold by Prudential of Japan do not have significant withdrawal risk because policyholders may incur surrender charges and must undergo a new underwriting process in order to obtain a new insurance policy.

As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our international insurance subsidiaries had cash and short-term investments of approximately $2.2 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, and fixed maturity investments with fair values of $38.2 billion and $38.0 billion, respectively. We believe that ongoing operations and the liquidity profile of our international insurance assets provide sufficient current liquidity, including reasonably foreseeable stress scenarios.

Prudential Securities Group

Prudential Securities Group’s assets totaled $5.9 billion and $7.1 billion as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Prudential Securities Group continues to own our investment in Wachovia Securities as well as the retained wholly owned businesses. The wholly owned businesses remaining in Prudential Securities Group continue to maintain sufficiently liquid balance sheets consisting mostly of cash and cash equivalents, segregated client assets, short-term collateralized receivables from clients and broker-dealers, and collateralized loans to clients. Distributions from our investment in Wachovia Securities to Prudential Securities Group totaled $58 million and $62 million for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of June 30, 2005, Prudential Securities Group had remaining assets amounting to approximately $230 million related to its former institutional fixed income activities, compared to $386 million as of December 31, 2004.

Financing Activities

As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, total short- and long-term debt of the Company on a consolidated basis was $15.0 billion and $11.7 billion, respectively. Outstanding short- and long-term debt of Prudential Financial, the parent company, amounted to $5.5 billion as of June 30, 2005 and $4.6 billion as of December 31, 2004, which is included in the total consolidated outstanding short- and long-term debt of the Company.

105

Prudential Financial is authorized to borrow funds from various sources to meet its capital needs, as well as the capital needs of its subsidiaries. The following table sets forth the outstanding short- and long-term debt of Prudential Financial, as of the dates indicated:

	June 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
	(in millions)
Borrowings:
General obligation short-term debt:
Commercial paper	$	202	$	446

General obligation long-term debt:
Senior debt		4,501		3,658
Retail medium-term notes		781		470
Total general obligations	$	5,486	$	4,574

Prudential Financial’s short-term debt includes commercial paper borrowings of $202 million and $446 million as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the commercial paper borrowings under this program was 2.80% and 1.10% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

To enhance its financial flexibility, Prudential Financial filed a new $5 billion shelf registration statement, effective March 21, 2005, with the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the issuance of public debt, equity and hybrid securities, superseding the $5 billion shelf registration that was filed in April 2003. The total principal amount of debt outstanding under both shelf programs as of June 30, 2005 was $5.3 billion. The total remaining issuance capacity under these shelf programs as of June 30, 2005 was approximately $3.97 billion.

On March 30, 2005, Prudential Financial allocated $2.5 billion of the 2005 $5 billion shelf registration for a new medium-term notes, Series C, program. The total principal amount of debt outstanding under Prudential Financial’s domestic medium-term note and senior note programs as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $4.5 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. On June 8, 2005, Prudential Financial issued $850 million of medium-term notes, Series C. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used for general corporate purposes, including a loan to one of our domestic insurance subsidiaries. The individual life business used the loan to replace reliance on 364-day letter of credit facilities supporting reserve credits achieved through reinsurance on certain term insurance business. This transaction reduced rollover and repricing risks with respect to those letter of credit facilities. The weighted average interest rates on Prudential Financial’s domestic medium term note and senior note programs, including the effect of interest rate hedging activity, were 4.84% and 4.14% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

On April 29, 2005, Prudential Financial allocated $2.0 billion of the 2005 $5 billion shelf registration for a retail medium-term notes program to supersede the 2004 retail notes program. This retail notes program serves as a funding source for a spread product of our Retirement segment that is economically similar to funding agreement-backed medium-term notes issued to institutional investors, except that the notes are senior obligations of Prudential Financial and are purchased by retail investors. The total principal amount of debt outstanding under this program as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $783 million and $470 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on this debt, including the effect of interest rate hedging activity, was 4.69% and 2.78% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Current capital markets activities for the Company on a consolidated basis principally consist of unsecured short-term and long-term debt borrowings issued by Prudential Funding and Prudential Financial, unsecured third party bank borrowing, and asset-based or secured financing. The secured financing arrangements include transactions such as securities lending and repurchase agreements, which we generally use to finance liquid securities in our short-term spread portfolios, primarily within Prudential Insurance.

(1) As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, $1.75 billion of limited and non-recourse debt outstanding was attributable to the Closed Block Business.

(2) Does not include $3.6 billion and $2.8 billion of medium-term notes of consolidated trust entities secured by funding agreements purchased with the proceeds of such notes as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. These notes are included in “Policyholders’ account balances.” For additional information see “—Funding Agreement Notes Issuance Program.”

Total general debt obligations increased by $3,299 million, or 33%, from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005, reflecting a $1,109 million net increase in long-term debt and a $2,190 million net increase in short-term debt. The increase in long-term debt was driven primarily by $313 million of retail medium-term notes issued by Prudential Financial under our retail note program and $850 million of medium-term notes issued under our medium-term note program. The net increase in short-term debt was driven by opportunities in our short-term spread portfolio.

Prudential Funding’s commercial paper and master note borrowings as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, were $5.0 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. In the second quarter of 2002, Prudential Financial issued a subordinated guarantee covering Prudential Funding’s domestic commercial paper program. The weighted average interest rates on the commercial paper borrowings and master notes were 2.72% and 1.02% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The total principal amount of debt outstanding under Prudential Funding’s domestic medium-term note programs was $772 million, as of both June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The weighted average interest rates on Prudential Funding’s long-term debt, including the effect of interest rate hedging activity, were 3.62%, and 1.83% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Prudential Insurance had outstanding surplus notes totaling $692 million as of both June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. These debt securities, which are included as surplus of Prudential Insurance on a statutory accounting basis, are subordinated to other Prudential Insurance borrowings and to policyholder obligations and are subject to regulatory approvals for principal and interest payments.

107

Our total borrowings consist of capital debt, investment related debt, securities business related debt and debt related to specified other businesses. Capital debt is borrowing that is used or will be used to meet the capital requirements of Prudential Financial as well as borrowings invested in equity or debt securities of direct or indirect subsidiaries of Prudential Financial and subsidiary borrowings, utilized for capital requirements. Investment related borrowings consist of debt issued to finance specific investment assets or portfolios of investment assets, including institutional spread lending investment portfolios, real estate and real estate related investments held in consolidated joint ventures, as well as institutional and insurance company portfolio cash flow timing differences. Securities business related debt consists of debt issued to finance primarily the liquidity of our broker-dealers and our capital markets and other securities business related operations. Debt related to specified other businesses consists of borrowings associated with our individual annuity business, real estate franchises and relocation services. Borrowings under which either the holder is entitled to collect only against the assets pledged to the debt as collateral, or has only very limited rights to collect against other assets, have been classified as limited and non-recourse debt. Consolidated borrowings as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 include $1.75 billion of limited and non-recourse debt attributable to the Closed Block Business.

The following table summarizes our borrowings, categorized by use of proceeds, as of the dates indicated:

Funding Agreement Notes Issuance Program

In 2004, Prudential Insurance established a Funding Agreement Notes Issuance Program pursuant to which a Delaware statutory trust issues medium-term notes (which are included in our statements of financial position in “Policyholders’ account balances” and not included in the foregoing table) secured by funding agreements issued to the trust by Prudential Insurance and included in our Retirement segment. The funding agreements provide cash flow sufficient for the debt service on the medium-term notes. The medium-term notes are sold in transactions not requiring registration under the Securities Act. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such notes totaled approximately $3.6 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, out of a total authorized amount of up to $6 billion. The notes have fixed or floating interest rates and original maturities ranging from two to seven years.

Lines of Credit and Other Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2005, Prudential Financial, Prudential Insurance and Prudential Funding had unsecured committed lines of credit totaling $2.5 billion. Of this amount, $1.0 billion is under a facility that expires in May 2009, and $1.5 billion is under a facility that expires in October 2006. Borrowings under the outstanding facilities

108

will mature no later than the respective expiration dates of the facilities. The facility expiring in May 2009 includes 19 financial institutions, many of which are also among the 27 financial institutions participating in the October 2006 facility. We use these facilities primarily as back-up liquidity lines for our commercial paper programs, and there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities as of June 30, 2005.

Our ability to borrow under these facilities is conditioned on our continued satisfaction of customary conditions, including maintenance at all times by Prudential Insurance of total adjusted capital of at least $5.5 billion based on statutory accounting principles prescribed under New Jersey law. Prudential Insurance’s total adjusted capital as of March 31, 2005, was approximately $12.1 billion and continues to be above the $5.5 billion threshold. The ability of Prudential Financial to borrow under these facilities is conditioned on its maintenance of consolidated net worth of at least $12.5 billion, calculated in accordance with GAAP. Prudential Financial’s net worth on a consolidated basis totaled $23.6 billion and $22.3 billion as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, we have a credit facility, expiring in December 2007, utilizing a third party-sponsored, asset-backed commercial paper conduit, under which we can borrow up to $750 million. This facility is supported in its entirety by unsecured committed lines of credit from many of the financial institutions included in our other facilities. Our actual ability to borrow under this facility depends on market conditions, and with respect to the lines of credit, Prudential Financial is subject to the same net worth requirement as with our other facilities. We also use uncommitted lines of credit from banks and other financial institutions.

Ratings

On March 8, 2005, Moody’s assigned an insurance financial strength rating of “Aa3” to Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of change in the value of financial instruments as a result of absolute or relative changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or equity or commodity prices. To varying degrees, the investment and trading activities supporting all of our products and services generate market risks. There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures from December 31, 2004, a description of which may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

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 Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of June 30, 2005. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (and our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. No change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of our businesses, including class action lawsuits. Our pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings specific to us and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which we operate. We are also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities, such as our investments, contracts, leases and labor and employment relationships, including claims of discrimination and harassment. In some of our pending legal and regulatory actions, parties are seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.

As more fully described in Prudential Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004, commencing in 2003, the Company received formal requests for information from regulators and law enforcement authorities relating to the purchase and sale of mutual fund shares and variable annuities. They include, among others, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the New York Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, the State of New York Attorney General’s Office (“NYAG”), the Securities Division of Massachusetts and the United States Attorney, District of Massachusetts. The matters under investigation principally concern allegations relating to market timing in the retail brokerage operations of the former Prudential Securities and in certain American Skandia products.

In connection with Prudential Securities, we believe that the pending investigations will likely result in proceedings and/or settlements. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with all relevant authorities and are fully cooperating with them. We have established a reserve for anticipated settlement costs, but there are no assurances that this reserve will prove adequate.

Civil charges have been brought against certain former Prudential Securities brokers and branch managers, and, on August 2, 2005, criminal charges were brought by the United States Attorney, District of Massachusetts, against a former Prudential Securities broker, relating to the matters under investigation. It is possible that additional civil and/or criminal charges may be brought against these and other former Prudential Securities employees.

In connection with American Skandia, we believe that the investigations of the SEC and NYAG are likely to lead to proceedings and/or settlements. We are fully cooperating with these investigations. Any regulatory settlement involving an American Skandia entity would be subject to the indemnification provisions of the acquisition agreement pursuant to which we purchased the American Skandia entities in May 2003 from Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. (publ) (“Skandia”). With Skandia’s approval, an offer was made by American Skandia to these regulators to settle the matters relating to market timing in variable annuities by paying restitution and a civil penalty of $95 million in the aggregate, and there are ongoing discussions with these regulators regarding settlement of these matters.

We currently use reinsurance primarily to transfer mortality risk, to acquire or dispose of blocks of business and to manage our capital more effectively. As indicated in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Prudential Financial on June 7, 2005, given the recent publicity surrounding certain reinsurance transactions involving other companies in the insurance industry, we voluntarily commenced a review of the accounting for our reinsurance arrangements to confirm that it complied with applicable accounting rules. This review includes an inventory and examination of current and past arrangements, including those relating to our wind down and divested businesses and discontinued operations. This review is ongoing and not yet complete. Subsequent to commencing our voluntary review, we received formal requests for information from the Connecticut Attorney General, the Connecticut Insurance Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting information regarding our participation in certain reinsurance transactions. We believe that a number of other insurance

110

industry participants have also received similar requests. It is possible we may receive additional requests from regulators relating to reinsurance arrangements. We intend to cooperate fully with all such requests.

As previously reported, in Azar, et al. v. Prudential Insurance, plaintiffs brought an action based upon the alleged failure to disclose adequately the increased costs associated with payment of life insurance premiums on a modal basis. In July 2005, the District Court of Valencia County, New Mexico, certified a class of only New Mexico residents who purchased insurance policies during the class period and paid modal premiums for their policies, but denied plaintiffs’ motion to include purchasers from 35 additional state jurisdictions.

In June 2005, a motion by all defendants in Enron Corp. v. J.P. Morgan Securities, et al. to dismiss Enron’s complaint in this bankruptcy preference action was denied by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Our litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and scope, the outcomes cannot be predicted. It is possible that our results of operations or cash flow in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. Management believes, however, that the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory matters, after consideration of applicable reserves and rights to indemnification, should not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, for additional discussion of our litigation and regulatory matters.
