6 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pruco Life Insurance Company (Pruco Life), a stock life insurance company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Pruco Life has two subsidiaries, Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey and The Prudential Life Insurance Company of Arizona. Pruco Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), a mutual life insurance company. The Company markets individual life insurance and deferred annuities primarily through Prudential's sales force in the United States, and in Taiwan. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the other information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. C. RECLASSIFICATIONS To facilitate comparisons with the current year, certain amounts in the prior years have been reclassified. 2. CONTINGENCIES Several actions have been brought against the Company on behalf of those persons who purchased life insurance policies based on complaints about sales practices engaged in by Prudential, the Company and agents appointed by Prudential and the Company. Prudential has agreed to indemnify the Company for any and all losses resulting from such litigation. 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ----------------------------------------------------------- Pruco Life Insurance Company consists of Pruco Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Pruco Life Insurance Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential). The Company markets individual life insurance and annuities primarily through Prudential's sales force in the United States and in Taiwan. The company held $11.0 billion in assets at June 30, 1997, $6.4 billion of which were held in Separate Accounts under variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. The remaining assets were held in the general account for investment primarily in bonds, short-term investments and policy loans. The Company's assets were $11.0 billion at June 30, 1997 compared to $9.7 billion at December 31, 1996. For the period ended June 30, 1997, net income amounted to $49.1 million, a decrease of $17.7 million compared to the $66.8 million earned in the same period in 1996. 1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (a) 1997 versus 1996 Premiums increased by $2.0 million for the period ended June 30, 1997, from $24.3 million in 1996 to $26.3 million. This change is primarily due to increased sales related to traditional life insurance products in our Taiwan branch which continued to expand its business throughout 1997. Realized investment gains increased to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $4.9 million for the same period in 1996. This increase is a result of current market conditions. Other income increased $5.0 million for the period ended June 30, 1997 from the same period in 1996. This increase is due to increased advisory fees attributable to growth of Separate Account products and introduction of Discovery Select. Policyholders' benefits increased $15.9 million for the period ended June 30, 1997 to $98.5 million, as compared to $82.6 million in 1996. This increase is attributable to increased mortality costs associated with the aging book of business. Other operating expenses increased $24.2 million for the period ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period for 1996. This is attributable to operational expenses associated with the sales activity of Discovery Select and Discovery Preferred annuity products. In addition, to increase competitive positioning in the market place, technological advancements are being made in the annuity processing and customer service areas. Along with, enhanced product developments and marketing strategies to create products to better suit our customer's needs. 2. LIQUIDITY For an insurance company, cash needs, for the purpose of paying current benefits, making policy loans, and paying expenses, are met primarily from premiums and investment income. Benefit expenses incurred in the six months ended June 30, 1997, and 1996 were $250.8 million, and $213.1 million, respectively. Cash flows are anticipated to be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. 3. CAPITAL RESOURCES The primary components of the Company's total assets of $11.0 billion at June 30, 1997 are as follows (as a percentage of total assets): fixed income securities 24.3%, separate account assets (fixed income and equity securities) 58.8%, policy loans 6.1%, and other assets 10.8%. 8 PART II ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDING - ----------------------- Pruco Life Insurance Company is not involved in any litigation that is expected to have a material effect.
