Forward-looking statements are made based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects upon Pruco Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Pruco Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries will be those anticipated by management. These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including, among others: (1) general economic, market and political conditions, including the performance and fluctuations of stock, real estate and other financial markets; (2) interest rate fluctuations; (3) re-estimates of our reserves for future policy benefits and claims; (4) differences between actual experience regarding mortality, morbidity, persistency, surrender experience, interest rates, or market returns and the assumptions we use in pricing our products, establishing liabilities and reserves or for other purposes; (5) changes in our assumptions related to deferred policy acquisition costs and valuation of business acquired; (6) changes in our claims-paying or credit ratings; (7) investment losses and defaults; (8) competition in our product lines and for personnel; (9) changes in tax law; (10) regulatory or legislative changes; (11) adverse determinations in litigation or regulatory matters and our exposure to contingent liabilities; (12) domestic or international military actions, natural or man-made disasters including terrorist activities or pandemic disease, or other events resulting in catastrophic loss of life; (13) ineffectiveness of risk management policies and procedures in identifying, monitoring and managing risks; (14) effects of acquisitions, divestitures and restructurings, including possible difficulties in integrating and realizing the projected results of acquisitions; (15) changes in statutory or U.S. GAAP accounting principles, practices or policies; and (16) changes in assumptions for retirement expense.

Pruco Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pruco Life Insurance Company, or the “Company,” is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, or “Prudential Insurance,” which in turn is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., or “Prudential Financial.”

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “U.S. 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. These interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The Company has extensive transactions and relationships with Prudential Insurance and other affiliates. It is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates include those used in determining deferred policy acquisition costs, investments, future policy benefits, provision for income taxes, reserves for contingent liabilities and reserves for losses in connection with unresolved legal matters.

Reclassifications

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

2. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND LITIGATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Contingencies

On an ongoing basis, our internal supervisory and control functions review the quality of our sales, marketing, and administration and servicing, and other customer interface procedures and practices and may recommend modifications or enhancements. From time to time, this review process results in the discovery of administration, servicing or other errors, including errors relating to the timing or amount of payments or contract values due to customers. In these cases, we offer customers appropriate remediation and may incur charges and expenses, including the costs of such remediation, administrative costs and regulatory fines.

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

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its businesses, including class actions. Pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of the businesses and operations that are specific to the Company and that are typical of the businesses in which the Company operates. Class action and individual lawsuits may involve a variety of issues and/or allegations, which include sales practices, underwriting practices, claims payment and procedures, premium charges, policy servicing and breach of fiduciary duties to customers. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of its general business activities, such as its investments and third party contracts. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs may seek large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.

2. Contingent Liabilities and Litigation and Regulatory Matters (continued)

Stewart v. Prudential, et al. was brought in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi by the beneficiaries of an alleged life insurance policy against the Company and The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The complaint alleges that the Prudential defendants acted in bad faith when they failed to pay a death benefit on an alleged contract of insurance that was never delivered. In February 2006, the jury awarded the plaintiffs $1.4 million in compensatory damages and $35 million in punitive damages. Motions for a new trial, judgment notwithstanding the verdict and remittitur, were denied in June 2006. In July 2006, the Company filed a notice of appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court.

The Company’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and scope, the outcomes cannot be predicted. It is possible that the results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flows 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 the Company’s financial position.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRONOUNCEMENTS

Fin 48

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FIN No. 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

SFAS 155

On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments.” This statement provides an election, on an instrument by instrument basis, to measure at fair value an entire hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, rather than measuring only the embedded derivative on a fair value basis. This statement also removes an exception from the requirement to bifurcate an embedded derivative feature from a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets. The new requirement to identify embedded derivatives in beneficial interest will be applied on a prospective basis only to beneficial interest acquired, issued, or subject to certain remeasurement conditions after the adoption date of the new guidance. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining whether there are any hybrid instruments for which the Company will elect the fair value option.

SOP 05-1

In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee, (“AcSEC”) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, (“AICPA”) issued Statement of Position, (“SOP”) 05-1, “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts.” SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 97. The SOP defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. This SOP is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SOP 05-1 on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

4. REINSURANCE

The Company participates in reinsurance with certain of its affiliates, including Prudential Insurance, Prudential of Taiwan, Prudential Arizona Reinsurance Captive Company, “PARCC”, Pruco Reinsurance, LTD, and other companies, in order to provide greater diversification of business, provide additional capacity for future growth and limit the maximum net loss potential arising from large risks. Life reinsurance is accomplished through various plans of reinsurance, primarily yearly renewable term and coinsurance. Reinsurance ceded arrangements do not discharge the Company as the primary insurer. Ceded balances would represent a liability of the Company in the event the reinsurers were unable to meet their obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The likelihood of a material reinsurance liability being reassumed by the Company is considered remote. During 2005 and 2006, the Company entered into reinsurance agreements with certain affiliates as part of its risk management and capital management strategies for annuities. Effective May 6, 2005, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Prudential Insurance providing for 100% reinsurance of its Lifetime Five benefit feature sold on its annuities prior to May 6, 2005. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. providing for the 100% reinsurance of its Lifetime Five benefit feature sold on its annuities on or after May 6, 2005. Effective March 20, 2006, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. providing for the 100% reinsurance of its Spousal Lifetime Five benefit feature sold on its annuities.

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits and reserves related to reinsured long-duration contracts are accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured contracts using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying contracts. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers, for both long and short duration reinsurance arrangements, are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liabilities and policy benefits associated with the reinsured policies. The affiliated reinsurance agreements, including the Company’s reinsurance of all its Taiwan business as of February 1, 2001, are described further in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reinsurance amounts included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

 

     2006     2005  
     (in thousands)  

Direct premiums and policy charges and fee income

   $ 637,260     $ 552,335

Policyholders’ benefits ceded

   $ 168,158     $ 161,634  
                

Reinsurance premiums ceded for interest-sensitive life products is accounted for as a reduction of policy charges and fee income. Reinsurance ceded for term insurance products is accounted for as a reduction of premiums.

Reinsurance recoverables included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows:

 

      2006    2005

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

Expense Charges and Allocations

Many of the Company’s expenses are allocations or charges from Prudential Insurance or other affiliates. These expenses can be grouped into general and administrative expenses and agency distribution expenses.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses are charged to the Company using allocation methodologies based on business processes. Management believes that the methodology is reasonable and reflects costs incurred by Prudential Insurance to process transactions on behalf of the Company. The Company operates under service and lease agreements whereby services of officers and employees, supplies, use of equipment and office space are provided by Prudential Insurance. Beginning in 2003, general and administrative expenses also includes allocations of stock compensation expenses related to a stock option program and a deferred compensation program issued by Prudential Financial.

The Company receives a charge for its share of employee benefits expenses. These expenses include costs for funded and non-funded contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans. Some of these benefits are based on final average earning and length of service. While others are based on an account balance, which takes into consideration age, service and earnings during career.

Prudential Insurance sponsors voluntary savings plans for the Company’s employee’s 401(k) plans. The plans provide for salary reduction contributions by employees and matching contributions by the Company of up to 4% of annual salary. The expense charged to the Company for the matching contribution to the plans was $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company’s share of net expense for the pension plans was $3.4 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

The Company is charged distribution expenses from Prudential Insurance’s agency network for both its domestic life and annuity products through a transfer pricing agreement, which is intended to reflect a market based pricing arrangement.

Affiliated Asset Management Fee Income

In accordance with a revenue sharing agreement with Prudential Investments LLC, the Company receives fee income from policyholders’ account balances invested in the Prudential Series Funds, or “PSF”. These revenues are recorded as “Asset management fees” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, net of related investment management expenses paid to Prudential Investments LLC, under this agreement.

Corporate Owned Life Insurance

The Company has sold four Corporate Owned Life Insurance, or “COLI”, policies to Prudential Insurance. The cash surrender value included in separate accounts for the COLI policies was $1.245 billion and $1.223 billion at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Fees related to the COLI policies were $9.7 million and $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

5. Related Party Transactions (continued)

Reinsurance with affiliates

Prudential Arizona Reinsurance Captive Company

In September 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to reinsure its term life insurance policies with PARCC. The Company reinsures with PARCC 90% of the risks under such policies through an automatic and facultative coinsurance agreement. The Company is not relieved of its primary obligation to the policyholder as a result of these reinsurance transactions. There was no net cost associated with the initial transactions. Reinsurance recoverables related to this transaction were $464 million and $356 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Premiums ceded to PARCC for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $183 million and $143 million, respectively. Benefits ceded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $67 million and $70 million, respectively. Reinsurance expense allowance, net of capitalization and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $42 million and $37 million, respectively.

Prudential Insurance

The Company has an excess of loss reinsurance agreement with Prudential Insurance and replaced it with a revised agreement to reinsure all mortality risks, not otherwise reinsured. Reinsurance recoverables were $59 million and $60 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Premiums and fees ceded to Prudential Insurance for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $105 million, and $81 million, respectively. Benefits ceded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $96 million and $93 million, respectively. The Company is not relieved of its primary obligation to the policyholder as a result of these reinsurance transactions. During 2005, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America providing for the 100% reinsurance of its Lifetime Five benefit feature sold on its annuities prior to May 6,2005 as part of its risk management and capital management strategies for annuities.

The Company currently has reinsurance Group Annuity Contract, whereby the reinsurer, in consideration for a single premium payment by the Company, provides reinsurance equal to 100% of all payments due under the contract. In addition, there are two yearly renewable term agreements in which the Company may offer and the reinsurer may accept reinsurance on any life in excess of the Company’s maximum limit of retention. The Company is not relieved of its primary obligation to the policyholder as a result of these reinsurance transactions. Group annuities reinsurance recoverables were $10 million and $11 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Benefits ceded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Pruco Reinsurance Ltd.

During 2005 and 2006, the Company entered into reinsurance agreements with Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. as part of its risk management and capital management strategies for annuities. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. providing for the 100% reinsurance of its Lifetime Five benefit feature sold on its annuities on or after May 6, 2005. Effective March 20, 2006, the Company entered into a coinsurance agreement with Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. providing for the 100% reinsurance of its Spousal Lifetime Five benefit feature sold on its annuities.

Taiwan branch reinsurance agreement

On January 31, 2001, the Company transferred all of its assets and liabilities associated with the Company’s Taiwan branch including Taiwan’s insurance book of business to Prudential of Taiwan a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial.

The mechanism used to transfer this block of business in Taiwan is referred to as a “full acquisition and assumption” transaction. Under this mechanism, the Company is jointly liable with Prudential of Taiwan for two years from the giving of notice to all obligees for all matured obligations and for two years after the maturity date of not-yet-matured obligations. Prudential of Taiwan is also contractually liable, under indemnification provisions of the transaction, for any liabilities that may be asserted against the Company. The transfer of the insurance related assets and liabilities was

 

11

5. Related Party (continued)

accounted for as a long-duration coinsurance transaction under U.S. GAAP accounting principles. Under this accounting treatment, the insurance related liabilities remain on the books of the Company and an offsetting reinsurance recoverable is established.

As part of this transaction, the Company made a capital contribution to Prudential of Taiwan in the amount of the net equity of the Company’s Taiwan branch as of the date of transfer. In July 2001, the Company dividended its interest in Prudential of Taiwan to Prudential Financial.

Affiliated premiums ceded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 from the Taiwan coinsurance agreement were $45 million and $41 million, respectively. Affiliated benefits ceded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were $6 million and $6 million, respectively.

Included in the total affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances of $1,085 million and $935 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, were reinsurance recoverables related to the Taiwan coinsurance agreement of $558 million and $519 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Debt Agreements

The Company has an agreement with Pru Funding, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Insurance which allows it to borrow funds for working capital and liquidity needs, the borrowings are limited to $600 million. There was $26 million of debt outstanding to Pru Funding, LLC as of June 30, 2006 as compared to $106 million at December 31, 2005. Interest expense related to this agreement was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2006, with related interest charged at a variable rate ranging from 4.28% to 5.32%.

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

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

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis, or “MD&A,” of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, addresses the consolidated financial condition of Pruco Life Insurance Company as of June 30, 2006, compared with December 31, 2005, and its consolidated results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005. 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, 2005, as well as the Forward-Looking Statements and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

General

The Company sells interest-sensitive individual life insurance, variable life insurance, term life insurance and individual variable annuities, primarily through Prudential Insurance’s sales force in the United States. These markets are subject to regulatory oversight with particular emphasis placed on company solvency and sales practices. These markets are also subject to increasing competitive pressure as the legal barriers, that have historically segregated the markets of the financial services industry, have been changed through both legislative and judicial processes. Regulatory changes have opened the insurance industry to competition from other financial institutions, particularly banks and mutual funds that are positioned to deliver competing investment products through large, stable distribution channels. The Company also had marketed individual life insurance through its branch office in Taiwan. All insurance activity of the Taiwan branch has been ceded to an affiliate and the related assets and liabilities continue to be reflected in the Company’s statements of financial position. The Company had also marketed a non-participating GIC called “PACE” under an agreement with MBIA Inc. that expired June 30, 2004. The Company did not seek an extension of the agreement. The termination of sales of this product has no impact on the existing in force contracts of PACE customers.

Products

Generally, the Company’s universal and variable life products offer the option of investing in separate accounts, segregated funds for which investment risks are borne by the customer, or the Company’s portfolio, referred to as the “general account.” The Company earns its profits through policy fees charged to separate account annuity and life policyholders and through the interest spread for the GIC and general account annuity and life products. Policy charges and fee income consist mainly of three types: sales charges or loading fees on new sales, mortality and expense charges, or “M&E”, assessed on fund balances, and mortality and related charges based on total life insurance in force

business. Policyholder fund values are affected by net sales (sales less withdrawals), changes in interest rates, and investment returns. The interest spread represents the difference between the investment income earned by the Company on its investment portfolio and the amount of interest credited to policyholders’ accounts. Products that generate interest spread primarily include the GIC product, general account life insurance products, fixed annuities and the fixed-rate option of variable annuities.

In addition to policy charges and fee income, the Company earns revenues from insurance premiums from term life insurance and asset management fees from separate account fund balances. The Company’s operating expenses principally consist of insurance benefits provided, general business expenses, commissions and other costs of selling and servicing the various products we sell and interest credited to policyholders’ account balances.

1. Changes in Financial Position

June 30, 2006 versus December 31, 2005

Total assets increased $837 million, from $29.674 billion at December 31, 2005 to $30.511 billion at June 30, 2006. The largest increase was in separate account assets, which increased $733 million, from $19.094 billion at December 31, 2005 to $19.827 billion at June 30, 2006, this increase was primarily due to market performance and positive net sales in the first six months of 2006. Commercial loans increased $153 million, from $269 million at December 31, 2005, to $422 million at June 30, 2006, during the current period as additional funds were invested in commercial loans.

Fixed maturities decreased by $735 million from $6.158 billion at December 31, 2005 to $5.423 billion at June 30, 2006. The decrease is primarily driven by repayments and prepayments of fixed maturities, as well as sales of fixed maturities to fund the acquisition of commercial loans and to pay down investment-related borrowings, coupled with a decline in the level of unrealized gains resulting from an increasing interest rate environment. Also contributing are scheduled withdrawals and maturities within the GIC business, re-investment in commercial loans, as mentioned above, and a decline in the level of unrealized gains resulting from an increasing interest rate environment, partly offset by investing positive cash flows and reinvestment of investment income.

Deferred policy acquisition costs increased by $126 million from $1.663 billion at December 31, 2005, to $1.789 billion at June 30, 2006, primarily driven by $187 million capitalization of acquisition costs from the continued growth of term sales, partially offset by $118 million of amortization reflecting improved margins and unfavorable fund performance. The shadow DAC decreased $57 million from increased unrealized losses from a rising interest rate environment.

Reinsurance recoverable increased by $159 million, largely as a result of increased ceded reserves held under the PARCC agreement (See Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statement). Other assets increased by $45 million, driven an increase in investment receivables due to the timing of trade settlements as of June 30, 2006.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $397 million, from $158 million at December 31, 2005 to $555 million at June 30, 2006, due to the accumulated portfolio cash flows partially offset by repayments of short term debt.

During the first six months of 2006, total liabilities increased by $815 million, from $27.608 billion at December 31, 2005 to $28.423 billion at June 30, 2006. Corresponding with the asset change, separate account liabilities increased by $733 million, as described above. Other liabilities increased $131 million, primarily due to increased investment payables on unsettled trades. Policyholder account balances decreased by $124 million, primarily due to continued maturities and surrenders of guaranteed investment contracts in 2006. Future policy benefits increased by $166 million, primarily due to increases to life reserves as a result of sales and renewals of term products, increased reserves for the Taiwan business, increased guaranteed minimum death and income benefits in the annuity business from higher revenues. The Company’s short-term borrowings from an affiliate used to provide short-term working capital decreased by $80 million from $106 million at December 31, 2005 to $26 million at June 30, 2006, due to repayments. Total securities lending activity decreased by $42 million. The relative amounts of cash collateral for loaned securities and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $87 million and increased $45 million, respectively.

2. Results of Operations

June 2006 to June 2005 Three Month Comparison

Net Income

Consolidated net income of $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $19 million, from $42 million for the same period in 2005. This decrease is primarily driven by realized losses due to sales of fixed maturities in a rising interest rate environment.

 

13


Further details regarding the components of revenues and expenses are described in the following paragraphs.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues decreased by $19 million, from $246 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $227 million for the three months ended 30, 2006, driven by $36 million of additional realized losses due to sales of fixed maturities in a rising interest rate environment. Increased realized losses were partially offset by a $12 million increase in policy charges and fee income which increased from $134 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $146 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to incurred fees from higher assets under management and a growing insurance inforce.

Benefits and Expenses

Total benefits and expenses increased $13 million, from $190 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $203 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Policyholders’ benefit and expenses, including related changes in reserves, increased by $7 million, from $25 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $32 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Higher term and other benefit reserves from growth in the inforce were partially offset by lower guaranteed minimum death benefits in the annuities products driven by market performance.

Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances decreased by $6 million, from $59 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $53 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest credited on guaranteed investment contracts was nearly $6 million lower for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to increased maturities and withdrawals in the current year.

General, administrative, and other expenses increased by $12 million from $105 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $117 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to an $8 million increase in DAC amortization driven by unfavorable fund performance in the current quarter. Net distribution costs increased slightly and were mostly offset by higher reinsurance expense allowance, in the life business resulting from the PARCC coinsurance agreement (See Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statement.).

Income tax expenses decreased $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 mainly due to a benefit from lower income before taxes, as described above.

June 2006 to June 2005 Six Month Comparison

Net Income

Consolidated net income decreased $33 million, from $91 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $58 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily driven by realized losses due to sales of fixed maturities in a rising interest rate environment.

Further details regarding the components of revenues and expenses are described in the following paragraphs.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues decreased by $30 million, from $502 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $472 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily driven by $51 million of additional realized losses due to sales of fixed maturities in a rising interest rate environment. Increased realized losses were partially offset by a $13 million increase in policy charges and fee income which increased from $273 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, to $286 million for the six months ended June 30, due to incurred fees from higher assets under management and a growing insurance inforce. Premiums increased by $5 million, from $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, to $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to increased term sales, net of reinsurance.

Benefit and Expenses

Total benefits and expenses increased $8 million, from $398 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $406 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances decreased by $10 million, from $119 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $109 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest credited on guaranteed investment contracts was nearly $9 million lower for the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to continued maturities and withdrawals in the current year.

Policyholders’ benefits and expenses, including related changes in reserves, increased by $9 million, from $54 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $63 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Higher term and other benefit reserves from growth in the inforce were partially offset by lower guaranteed minimum death benefits in the annuities products, driven by market performance.

 

14


General, administrative, and other expenses increased by $8 million from $226 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $234 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase is due to a $9 million increase in DAC amortization driven by improved margins in the current year and increased operating expenses. Offsetting this are lower net distribution costs resulting from increased reinsurance expense allowances, net of capitalization, in the life business resulting from the PARCC coinsurance agreement (See Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statement.)

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $6 million, from $13 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease is primarily due to lower income before taxes partially offset by a reduction of reserves, reflecting the resolution of certain items with the IRS during the first quarter of 2005.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In order to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” 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) and 15d-15(e), as of June 30, 2006. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 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

The Company’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its businesses, including class actions. Pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of the businesses and operations that are specific to the Company and that are typical of the businesses in which the Company operates. Class action and individual lawsuits may involve a variety of issues and/or allegations, which include sales practices, underwriting practices, claims payment and procedures, premium charges, policy servicing and breach of fiduciary duties to customers. The Company is also subject to litigation arising out of its general business activities, such as its investments and third party contracts. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs may seek large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.

Stewart v. Prudential, et al. was brought in the Circuit Court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi by the beneficiaries of an alleged life insurance policy against the Company and The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The complaint alleges that the Prudential defendants acted in bad faith when they failed to pay a death benefit on an alleged contract of insurance that was never delivered. In February 2006, the jury awarded the plaintiffs $1.4 million in compensatory damages and $35 million in punitive damages. Motions for a new trial, judgment notwithstanding the verdict and remittitur, were denied in June 2006. In July 2006, the Company filed a notice of appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court.

The Company’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and scope, the outcomes cannot be predicted. It is possible that the results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flows 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 the Company’s financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described under “ Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. These risks are not exclusive, and additional risks to which we are subject include, but are not limited to, the factors mentioned under “Forward-Looking Statements” above and the risks of our businesses described elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
