                                                      FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements  included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,  including but not limited to those in Management's  Discussion
and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations,  may constitute  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of the
U.S.  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "expects,"  "believes,"  "anticipates,"  "includes,"  "plans,"
"assumes,"  "estimates,"  "projects,"  "intends,"  "should,"  "will,"  "shall"  or  variations  of such  words  are  generally  part of
forward-looking  statements.  Forward-looking  statements are made based on management's  current  expectations and beliefs  concerning
future  developments  and their  potential  effects upon American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation.  There can be no assurance that
future  developments  affecting  American  Skandia  Life  Assurance  Corporation  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
of financial markets and interest rate fluctuations;  (2) domestic or international military or terrorist activities or conflicts;  (3)
volatility in the securities  markets;  (4)  fluctuations  in foreign  currency  exchange  rates and foreign  securities  markets;  (5)
regulatory  or  legislative  changes,  including  changes in tax law;  (6) changes in  statutory or U.S.  GAAP  accounting  principles,
practices or policies;  (7) 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;  (8)  re-estimates of our reserves for future policy  benefits and claims;  (9) changes in our assumptions  related to
deferred policy  acquisition  costs;  (10) events  resulting in catastrophic  loss of life; (11) investment  losses and defaults;  (12)
changes in our claims-paying or credit ratings;  (13) competition in our product lines and for personnel;  (14) adverse  determinations
in litigation or regulatory  matters and our exposure to contingent  liabilities;  and (15) the effects of  acquisitions,  divestitures
and  restructurings,  including  possible  difficulties in integrating and realizing the projected  results of  acquisitions.  American
Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation does not intend,  and is under no obligation,  to update any particular  forward-looking  statement
included in this document.

American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   BUSINESS

American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  (the  "Company"),  with its principal  offices in Shelton,  Connecticut,  is an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential  Financial,  Inc.  ("Prudential  Financial"),  a New Jersey corporation.  The Company is a wholly
owned subsidiary of American Skandia, Inc. ("ASI"),  which in turn is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential  Financial.  On
December 19, 2002, Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. (publ)  ("Skandia"),  an insurance company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of
Sweden,  and the  ultimate  parent  company of the Company  prior to May 1, 2003,  entered into a definitive  purchase  agreement  with
Prudential  Financial  whereby  Prudential  Financial would acquire the Company and certain of its affiliates (the  "Acquisition").  On
May 1,  2003,  the  initial  phase of the  Acquisition  was  consummated.  This  included  Prudential  Financial  acquiring  90% of the
outstanding  common  stock of Skandia  U.S.  Inc.  ("SUSI"),  an indirect  parent of the  Company.  On  September  9, 2003,  Prudential
Financial  acquired  the  remaining  10% of SUSI's  outstanding  common  stock.  On June 23,  2005,  SUSI  amended its  certificate  of
incorporation to change its name to Prudential Annuities Holding Company, Inc.

The Company develops long-term savings and retirement  products,  that are distributed  through its affiliated  broker-dealer  company,
American Skandia Marketing,  Incorporated.  The Company currently issues variable deferred and immediate  annuities for individuals and
groups in the United States of America and its territories.

The  Company is engaged  in a business  that is highly  competitive  because  of the large  number of stock and mutual  life  insurance
companies and other entities engaged in marketing insurance products, and individual and group annuities.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited  interim  financial  statements  have been prepared in accordance with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States of America and on a basis  consistent with reporting  interim  financial  information in accordance with the 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 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.
Certain  amounts  in the  Company's  prior  year  financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with the  current  year
presentation.  These  unaudited  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

3.   CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

Contingencies
On an  ongoing  basis,  our  internal  supervisory  and  control  functions  review  the  quality  of  our  sales,  marketing,  annuity
administration and servicing,  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 costs of
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 that period.  Management  believes,  however,  that  ultimate  payments in connection  with
these  matters,  after  consideration  of applicable  reserves and  indemnification,  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.  Some of these  proceedings  have been brought on behalf of various  alleged
groups of  complainants.  In certain of these  matters,  the  plaintiffs  are seeking  large and/or  indeterminate  amounts,  including
punitive or exemplary damages.

As indicated in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and the State of New York
Attorney  General's Office are  investigating the Company and certain of its affiliates with regard to alleged market timing in certain
Company products.  The Company believes that these  investigations  are likely to lead to proceedings and/or  settlements.  The Company
is fully cooperating with these  investigations.  Any regulatory  settlement  involving the Company and its affiliates would be subject
to the indemnification  provisions of the acquisition  agreement pursuant to which Prudential  Financial purchased the Company entities
in May 2003 from Skandia  Insurance  Company Ltd. (publ)  ("Skandia").  With Skandia's  approval,  an offer was made by the Company and
its affiliates 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.


American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prudential  Financial and its  subsidiaries  currently use reinsurance  primarily to transfer  mortality risk, to acquire or dispose of
blocks of business and to manage capital more effectively.  Given the recent publicity  surrounding  certain  reinsurance  transactions
involving other companies in the insurance  industry,  Prudential  Financial  voluntarily  commenced a review of the accounting for the
reinsurance  arrangements of Prudential  Financial and its subsidiaries to confirm that it complied with applicable  accounting  rules.
This review  includes an inventory  and  examination  of current and past  arrangements.  This review is ongoing and not yet  complete.
Subsequent  to  commencing  this  voluntary  review,  Prudential  Financial  and certain  subsidiaries  received  formal  requests  for
information from the Connecticut  Attorney General,  the Connecticut  Insurance  Department and the Securities and Exchange  Commission
requesting  information  regarding their  participation  in certain  reinsurance  transactions.  Prudential  Financial  believes that a
number of other insurance  industry  participants  have also received similar  requests.  It is possible that Prudential  Financial and
its subsidiaries may receive additional requests from regulators  relating to reinsurance  arrangements.  Prudential  Financial and its
subsidiaries intend to cooperate fully with all such requests.

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.

4.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Debt Agreements
On January 3, 2002, the Company  entered into a $150 million credit  facility  agreement with ASI. This credit  facility  terminates on
December 31, 2005 and bears interest at the London  Interbank  Offered Rate  ("LIBOR")  plus 0.35% per annum for the relevant  interest
period.  As of June 30, 2005, no amounts were outstanding under this credit facility.

On March 12,  2004,  the Company  entered into a $45 million  loan with  Prudential  Funding,  LLC, a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of The
Prudential  Insurance  Company of America  ("Prudential  Insurance").  This loan matures on March 12, 2007 and has an interest  rate of
3.70%.  The proceeds were used to support working capital needs.

On May 1, 2004, the Company entered into a $500 million credit facility  agreement with Prudential  Funding,  LLC.  Effective  December
1, 2004, the credit facility  agreement was increased to $750 million.  As of June 30, 2005,  $335.3 million was outstanding under this
credit facility.

Reinsurance Agreements
During 2005,  the Company  entered into a new  reinsurance  agreement  with an  affiliate  as part of its risk  management  and capital
management  strategies.  The company entered into a coinsurance  agreement with Prudential Insurance providing for the 100% reinsurance
of its Lifetime Five benefit  feature sold on new business prior to May 6, 2005.  Effective  July 1, 2005,  the Company  entered into a
new  coinsurance  agreement with Pruco Re, Ltd.  providing for the 100%  reinsurance  of its Lifetime Five benefit  feature sold on new
business after May 5, 2005 as well as for riders issued from March 15, 2005 forward on business in-force before March 15, 2005.

5.  NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING 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 the SOP 03-1 to address the need for  interpretive  guidance to be
developed in three areas:  separate account  presentation and valuation;  the accounting  recognition  given sales  inducements  (bonus
interest, bonus credits, persistency bonuses); and the classification and valuation of certain long-duration contract liabilities.

The Company  adopted the SOP effective  January 1, 2004. The effect of initially  adopting SOP 03-1 was a charge of $17.1 million,  net
of $9.4 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  certain  individual  market value adjusted
annuity contracts from separate account  accounting  treatment to general account  accounting  treatment and the effect of establishing
reserves  for  guaranteed  minimum  death  benefit  provisions  of the  Company's  annuity  contracts.  The Company  also  recognized a
cumulative  effect of accounting change related to unrealized  investment gains within "Other  comprehensive  income,  net of taxes" of
$3.4  million,  net of $1.9 million of taxes.  Upon  adoption of the SOP $1.8 billion in "Separate  account  assets" were  reclassified
resulting  in a $1.7  billion  increase  in  "Fixed  maturities,  available  for  sale,  at fair  value"  as well as  changes  in other
non-separate account assets.  Similarly,  upon adoption,  $1.8 billion in "Separate account liabilities" were reclassified resulting in
increases in "Policyholders' account balances," as well as changes in other non-separate account liabilities.

In December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  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 base  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  provision of
the original  SFAS No. 123,  prospectively  for all interim and annual  periods  beginning  after June 15, 2005.  However,  the SEC has
recently  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.

Share-based Compensation Awards with Non-substantive Vesting Conditions

Prudential  Financial issues share-based  compensation  awards to employees of the Company 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,  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 expenses 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
unvested outstanding awards.

The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will not have a material impact on its results of operations.



Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation meets the conditions set forth in General Instruction H(1)(a) and (b) on Form 10-Q and is
therefore filing this form with the reduced disclosure format.

Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  ("MD&A") addresses the financial  condition of
American  Skandia Life  Assurance  Corporation  (the  "Company") as of June 30, 2005 compared with December 31, 2004 and its results of
operations  for the three month  periods  ended June 30,  2005 and 2004 and the six month  periods  ended June 30,  2005 and 2004.  You
should read the following  analysis of our financial  condition and results of operations in  conjunction  with the Company's  MD&A and
audited  Financial  Statements  included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31, 2004 and the
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

General

American  Skandia Life Assurance  Corporation  (the  "Company"),  with its principal  offices in Shelton,  Connecticut,  is an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial,  Inc. ("Prudential  Financial").  On December 19, 2002, Skandia Insurance Company Ltd.
(publ)  ("SICL"),  an insurance  company  organized  under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden,  and the ultimate  parent  company of the
Company prior to May 1, 2003,  entered into a definitive  purchase  agreement  with  Prudential  Financial,  a New Jersey  corporation,
whereby  Prudential  Financial  would  acquire the  Company and certain of its  affiliates  (the  "Acquisition").  On May 1, 2003,  the
initial phase of the Acquisition was consummated.  This included  Prudential  Financial  acquiring 90% of the outstanding  common stock
of Skandia U.S., Inc. ("SUSI"),  an indirect parent of the Company. On September 9, 2003,  Prudential  Financial acquired the remaining
10% of SUSI's  outstanding  common  stock.  On June 23,  2005,  SUSI amended its  certificate  of  incorporation  to change its name to
Prudential Annuities Holding Company, Inc.

The Company was  established  in 1988 and is a significant  provider of variable  annuity  contracts for the  individual  market in the
United  States of America and its  territories.  The  Company's  products are sold  primarily to  individuals  to provide for long-term
savings and retirement and to address the economic impact of premature  death,  estate planning  concerns and  supplemental  retirement
needs.  The  investment  performance  of the registered  investment  companies  supporting  the variable  annuity  contracts,  which is
principally correlated to equity market performance, can significantly impact the market for the Company's products.

Products

The Company offers a wide array of annuities,  including (1) certain  deferred and immediate  annuities  that are  registered  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  including  variable  annuities with fixed interest rate investment  options that include a market
value  adjustment  feature;  (2) certain other fixed  deferred  annuities  that are not  registered  with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission; and (3) fixed, adjustable and variable immediate annuities.

Annuity contracts  represent the insurer's  contractual  obligation to make payments over a given period of time, often measured by the
life of the recipient,  in return for a single deposit or a series of scheduled or flexible deposits.  The insurer's  obligation to pay
may commence  immediately or be deferred.  If the insurer's  payments are deferred,  the insurer generally incurs an obligation to make
a surrender  value  available  during the deferral  period based on an account value,  and guarantees as applicable.  The account value
consists of the deposits and may earn  interest,  or may vary with the  performance of investments in the funds selected by the insurer
and made available for election by contract  holders.  Gains on deposits made by the contract holder,  before  distribution,  generally
are tax  deferred for the contract  holder.  Distributions  are taxed as ordinary  income to the contract  holder.  During the deferral
period,  distributions  are assumed to come first from any gains in the  contract and may be subject to a tax  penalty.  For  immediate
annuities and annuitized  deferred  annuities,  a portion of each distribution may be treated as a return of the taxpayer's  investment
in the contract.

Marketing and Distribution

The Company sells its wide array of annuity  products  through  multiple  distribution  channels,  including (1) independent  financial
planners;  (2)  broker-dealers  that  generally  are  members  of the New York  Stock  Exchange,  including  "wirehouse"  and  regional
broker-dealer  firms;  and (3)  broker-dealers  affiliated with banks or that  specialize in marketing to customers of banks.  Although
the  Company  is active in each of those  distribution  channels,  the  majority  of the  Company's  sales  have come from  independent
financial planners.

Although many of the Company's  competitors have acquired or are seeking to acquire their distribution  channels as a means of securing
sales,  the Company  has not done so.  Instead,  the  Company  believes  that its  success is  dependent  on its ability to enhance its
relationships  with both the selling firms and their  registered  representatives.  In cooperation  with its affiliated  broker-dealer,
American Skandia Marketing,  Incorporated,  the Company uses marketing teams to provide support to its primary  distribution  channels.
In addition, the Company also offers a number of private label and proprietary products distributed by select large distributors.


The Company's Changes in Financial Position and Results of Operations are described below.

Changes in Financial Position

From December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005,  assets  increased by $85.1  million,  from $30.3 billion to $30.4 billion.  Separate  account
assets  increased by $129.3 million driven by positive net flows during the current year.  Also  contributing to the increase in assets
was an increase  in fixed  maturities  of $136.4  million  primarily  in mortgage  backed  securities.  In  addition,  deferred  policy
acquisition  costs  ("DAC") and  deferred  purchase  credits  increased  $103.6  million  and $36.9  million,  respectively.  Partially
offsetting  these  increases were decreases in short-term  investments of $182.2 million and decreases in cash and cash  equivalents of
$67.6 million.

During the period,  total liabilities  increased by $22.4 million,  from $29.6 billion to $29.7 billion.  Separate account  liabilities
increased by $129.3 million driven by positive net flows during the current year. During the period,  short-term  borrowings  increased
$105.0 million.  The proceeds from these  borrowings were used to support  working capital needs. In addition,  policyholders'  account
balances  increased by $104.8  million  primarily due to significant  transfers of customer  account values from mutual fund options to
the market value adjustment  options.  Partially  offsetting these increases was a decrease in cash collateral for loaned securities of
$105.9  million due to lower levels of corporate  securities  out on loan.  Other  liabilities  decreased  $156.9  million  driven by a
decrease in  investment  payables on open trades.  Also,  future fees payable to ASI decreased  $46.4 million  during the period due to
amortization.

Results of Operations

June 2005 to June 2004 Three Month Comparison

Net Income

Net income  increased by $9.8  million,  from $25.8 million in the second  quarter of 2004 to $35.6  million for the second  quarter of
2005.  Policy charges and fee income  increased by $16.5 million and asset  management  fees  increased by $2.5 million,  in the second
quarter of 2005 over the same period in 2004,  driven by favorable  market  conditions in 2004. In addition,  realized  capital  losses
declined by $4.7  million.  Income tax expense  declined  $4.2 million  driven by a lower  effective  tax rate in 2005 compared to 2004
primarily driven by a substantial  projected increase in the Separate Account Dividends Received  Deduction.  These favorable variances
were  partially  offset  by higher  general,  administrative  and other  expenses  of $16.4  million.  Further  details  regarding  the
components of revenues and expenses are described below.

Revenues

Revenues  increased  by $23.3  million,  from $150.1  million for the three  months  ended June 30, 2004 to $173.4  million in the same
period in 2005.  Premiums of $0.7  million  decreased  by $3.9  million,  from $4.6  million for the three  months ended June 30, 2004,
reflecting a decrease in funds from customers electing to enter into the payout phase of their contracts.

Policy  charges and fee income  increased  by $16.5  million,  from $103.2  million for the three  months ended June 30, 2004 to $119.7
million in the same period in 2005.  Mortality  and expense  ("M&E")  charges  increased by $9.1 million as a result of the increase in
the in-force  business and market  appreciation.  Annuity  fees are mainly  asset-based  fees,  which are  dependent on fund  balances.
Average annuity separate account fund balances have increased as a result of market  appreciation and positive net flows,  resulting in
an increase in policy  charges and fee income.  Additionally,  living  benefit fees  increased by $4.1 million  driven by the sale of a
new product feature launched during the current year and surrender charges increased by $3.1 million compared to the prior year.

Asset  management  fees increased by $2.5 million,  from $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $30.3 million in the
same  period  in 2005,  as a result of higher  average  assets  under  management  compared  to the  prior  year  period  due to market
appreciation.  Asset management fees are asset-based fees, which are dependent on the amount of assets under management.

Benefits and Expenses

Policyholders'  benefits  increased by $1.5  million,  from $30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $31.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2005  primarily  driven by fees ceded  related to  reinsurance  agreements on certain  living  benefits
which became effective during the 4th quarter of 2004 partially offset by lower premiums discussed above.

General,  administrative,  and other expenses  increased by $16.4 million,  from $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004
to $79.6 million for the  three-months  ended June 30, 2005. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the amortization of DAC of
$7.2 million  resulting  from  increased  profits  primarily  from higher policy  charges and fee income and asset  management  fees as
discussed  above.  In addition,  commissions,  net of  capitalization,  increased  $3.5 million driven by increased  trail  commissions
caused by growth in separate account assets and interest expense increased by $1.7 million resulting from higher borrowing levels.


June 2005 to June 2004 Six Month Comparison

Net Income

Net income of $65.7  million for the six months of 2005  increased  by $30.1  million,  from $35.6  million for the six months of 2004.
Results for the 2004 period  reflect a charge for the  cumulative  effect of  accounting  change charge of $17.1  million,  net of tax,
related to the January 1, 2004 adoption of SOP 03-01.  Excluding the cumulative  effect  charge,  net income  increased  $13.0 million.
Policy charges and fee income  increased by $34.4 million and asset  management  fees  increased by $5.0 million,  in the six months of
2005 over the same period in 2004,  driven by favorable market  conditions in 2004.  Income tax expense declined $4.4 million driven by
a lower  effective  tax rate in 2005 compared to 2004  primarily  driven by a substantial  projected  increase in the Separate  Account
Dividends  Received  Deduction.  This increase was  partially  offset by higher  general,  administrative  and other  expenses of $30.0
million.  Further details regarding the components of revenues and expenses are described below.

Revenues

Revenues  increased by $48.9 million,  from $298.6 million for the six-months  ended June 30, 2004 to $347.5 million in the same period
in 2005.  Premiums of $10.4 million increased by $3.1 million,  from $7.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004,  reflecting an
increase in funds from customers electing to enter into the payout phase of their contracts.

Policy  charges  and fee income  increased  by $34.4  million,  from $235.7  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 2005 to $201.3
million in the same period in 2004.  M&E charges  increased by $16.8  million as a result of the increase in the in-force  business and
market  appreciation.  Annuity fees are mainly  asset-based  fees,  which are  dependent on fund  balances.  Average  annuity  separate
account fund  balances have  increased as a result of market  appreciation  and positive net flows,  resulting in an increase in policy
charges and fee income.  Additionally,  there was a $7.3 million change in realized market value  adjustments  related to the Company's
fixed,  market  value  adjusted  investment  option,  $4.9  million of higher  living  benefit fees driven by the sale of a new product
feature launched during the current year and $4.9 million of higher surrender charges during the current period.

Net investment  income  increased $4.2 million,  from $41.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $45.8 million in the same
period in 2005.  This was driven primarily by improved yields during the current year.

Asset  management  fees  increased by $5.0  million,  from $55.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $60.1 million in the
same period in 2005, as a result of higher  average assets under  management  compared to the same period last year.  Asset  management
fees are asset-based fees, which are dependent on the amount of assets under management.

Benefits and Expenses

Policyholders'  benefits  increased by $12.8  million,  from $57.7  million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $70.5 million for
the six-months  ended June 30, 2005 primarily  driven by fees ceded related to reinsurance  agreements on certain living benefits which
became effective during 4th quarter 2004 and higher living benefit reserves driven by the increase in revenues as discussed above.

General,  administrative,  and other expenses increased by $30.0 million, from $124.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to
$154.4  million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The increase was  primarily due to an increase in the  amortization  of DAC of
$14.4  million and an increase in the  amortization  of the valuation of business  acquired of $2.9 million  resulting  from  increased
profits  primarily from higher policy charges and fee income and asset  management fees as discussed  above. In addition,  commissions,
net of  capitalization,  increased $6.4 million driven by increased trail  commissions  caused by growth in separate account assets and
interest expense increased by $3.2 million resulting from higher borrowing levels.

Significant Accounting Policies

For  information on the Company's  significant  accounting  policies,  see Item 7.  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.


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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-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  required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.  Other than as  discussed in the  following  paragraph,  no
change in our 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, 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
- --------------------------

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 the Company's  businesses  and operations  that are specific to the Company,  and
proceedings  that are typical of the businesses in which the Company  operates.  Some of these  proceedings have been brought on behalf
of various  alleged  groups of  complainants.  In certain of these  matters,  the  plaintiffs  are seeking  large and/or  indeterminate
amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages.

As indicated in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and the State of New York
Attorney  General's Office are  investigating the Company and certain of its affiliates with regard to alleged market timing in certain
Company products.  The Company believes that these  investigations  are likely to lead to proceedings and/or  settlements.  The Company
is fully cooperating with these  investigations.  Any regulatory  settlement  involving the Company and its affiliates would be subject
to the indemnification  provisions of the acquisition  agreement pursuant to which Prudential  Financial purchased the Company entities
in May 2003 from Skandia  Insurance  Company Ltd. (publ)  ("Skandia").  With Skandia's  approval,  an offer was made by the Company and
its affiliates 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.

Prudential  Financial and its  subsidiaries  currently use reinsurance  primarily to transfer  mortality risk, to acquire or dispose of
blocks of business and to manage capital more effectively.  Given the recent publicity  surrounding  certain  reinsurance  transactions
involving other companies in the insurance  industry,  Prudential  Financial  voluntarily  commenced a review of the accounting for the
reinsurance  arrangements of Prudential  Financial and its subsidiaries to confirm that it complied with applicable  accounting  rules.
This review  includes an inventory  and  examination  of current and past  arrangements.  This review is ongoing and not yet  complete.
Subsequent  to  commencing  this  voluntary  review,  Prudential  Financial  and certain  subsidiaries  received  formal  requests  for
information from the Connecticut  Attorney General,  the Connecticut  Insurance  Department and the Securities and Exchange  Commission
requesting  information  regarding their  participation  in certain  reinsurance  transactions.  Prudential  Financial  believes that a
number of other insurance  industry  participants  have also received similar  requests.  It is possible that Prudential  Financial and
its subsidiaries may receive additional requests from regulators  relating to reinsurance  arrangements.  Prudential  Financial and its
subsidiaries intend to cooperate fully with all such requests.

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.
