                      NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
                   PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES

A. GENERAL

Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (the Company), a stock life insurance
company domiciled in the state of New Jersey, is an indirect subsidiary of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), a mutual life insurance
company, and a direct subsidiary of Pruco Life Insurance Company (Pruco Life), a
stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Arizona. The Company
markets individual life insurance and deferred annuities through Prudential's
sales force.

B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited 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
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 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997 may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.

C. INVESTMENTS

Fixed Maturities--Where the Company may not have the positive intent to hold 
fixed maturities until maturity, the securities are classified as "Available for
Sale." These securities are reported at market value based principally on their
quoted market prices. The associated unrealized gains and losses, net of income
taxes and deferred policy acquisition costs, are included as a component of
equity or if deemed to be other than temporary, are included as a realized loss.
These securities may be sold prior to maturity as part of the Company's
asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in interest rates,
resultant prepayments risk, and similar factors.

Short-term investments are fixed maturities that mature within one year, and are
reported at estimated fair value.

Securities lending--The Company has instituted a securities lending program
during the third quarter of 1997 whereby large blocks of securities are loaned
to third parties, primarily brokerage firms. As of September 30, 1997, the
estimated fair values of loaned securities were $26.0 million. Company policy
and statutory regulations both require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of
the domestic loaned securities to be separately maintained as collateral for the
loans. Cash collateral received is invested in short-term investments and is
recorded in Cash collateral for loaned securities in the amount of $26.2
million at September 30, 1997. Non-cash collateral is not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements.

D. RECLASSIFICATIONS

To facilitate comparisons with the current year, certain amounts in the prior

2. CONTINGENCIES

Several actions have been brought against the Company on behalf of those persons
who purchased life insurance policies and are 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (the Company) is a stock life
insurance company organized in 1982 under the laws of the state of New Jersey.
The Company is an indirect subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of
America (Prudential), and a direct subsidiary of Pruco Life Insurance Company
(Pruco Life). Pruco Life is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the
state of Arizona. The Company markets individual insurance and annuities through
Prudential's sales force.

The Company's assets were $2.0 billion at September 30, 1997 compared to $1.7
billion at December 31, 1996. The Company recorded net income of $16.5 million
for the period ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $8.6 million in
comparison to the $25.1 million earned in the same period in 1996.

1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1997 versus 1996

Premiums decreased by $.9 million to $.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $1.6 million for the same period in 1996. This decrease
is primarily attributable to the loss of annuity premiums. As annuity products
mature, the policy becomes non-premium paying and converts to a pay out status.

Net investment income increased $2.0 million from $32.3 million for the period
ended September 30, 1996 to $34.3 million for the same period in 1997. This
increase is primarily due to overall growth of the investment portfolio as a
result of additional cash flows from operating activities along with a reduction
in expenses.

Realized investment gains increased by $.7 million from $.6 million for the
period ended September 30, 1996 to $1.3 million for the same period in 1997.
This increase is primarily driven by the sale of fixed maturities as a result of
normal investing activities during a period of declining interest rates.

Policyholders' benefits for the period ended September 30, 1997 were $23.1
million compared to $21.4 million for the same period in 1996. This increase of
$1.7 million is attributable to increased mortality costs associated with the
aging book of business.

Other operating costs and expenses increased $12.6 million from $3.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $16.5 million for the same period in
1997. The increase relects factors including the refinement of estimated gross
profit margins used to amortize deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC).
Favorable mortality experience and reduction in cost of insurance charges
contributed to a net change in amortization. Favorable sales in 1997 were a
partial offset. The net change in the amortization of DAC was $(1.4) million and
$(9.0) million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Also, increased operating costs
resulted from higher sales activity of Discovery Select and Discovery Preferred
annuity products, and technological advancements made in annuity processing,
customer service, and product development.

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. Benefits and expenses incurred for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, and 1996, were $54.0 million, and $39.9
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 $2.0 billion at
September 30, 1997 are as follows (as a percentage of total assets): fixed
income securities 27.9%, separate account assets (fixed income and equity
securities) 54.9%, policy loans 6.3%, and other assets 10.9%.
