1.   BUSINESS

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.
It is licensed to sell individual life insurance and deferred annuities (the
Contracts) only in the states of New Jersey and New York.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pruco Life Insurance Company (Pruco
Life), a stock life insurance company organized in 1971 under the laws of the
state of Arizona. Pruco Life, in turn, is a wholly owned subsidiary of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential).

The only reportable industry segment of the Company is "Life Insurance."

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with 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, 1997 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 three months ended March 31, 1998 may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentations.

3. INVESTMENTS

FIXED MATURITIES classified as "available for sale" are carried at estimated
fair value. The amortized cost of fixed maturities are written down to estimated
fair value when considered impaired and the decline in value is considered to be
other than temporary. Unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities "available
for sale", net of income tax, the effect on deferred policy acquisition costs
and participating annuity contracts that would result from the realization of
unrealized gains and losses are included in a separate component of equity, "Net
unrealized investment gains."

4.   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.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and
assessments. Management believes the settlement of these matters would not have
a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

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

The Company markets individual life insurance, variable life insurance, variable
annuities and deferred annuities through Prudential's sales force in New Jersey
and New York.

The Company markets its products in the life insurance and annuity sectors of
the insurance industry. These markets are faced with an increased tightening of
the regulatory environment with particular emphasis placed on company solvency
and sales practices. The legal barriers which have historically segregated the
markets of the financial services industry are being challenged through both
legislative and judicial processes. Regulatory changes which opened the
insurance industry to other financial institutions, particularly banks and
mutual funds, heightened competition in investment type products since those
institutions were positioned to deliver the same products through large, stable
distribution channels.

The Company held $2.2 billion in assets at March 31, 1998 compared to $2.0
billion at December 31, 1997, of which $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion were held
in Separate Accounts as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 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.

1.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 amounted to $6.0 million,
compared to a loss of $3.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997.

1998 versus 1997

Separate Account activity was a major contributor to the increase in operating
results during the first quarter of 1998. Separate Account assets increased
14.7% as of March 31, 1998, from $1,111 million as of December 31, 1997 to
$1,274 million. Approximately 53% ($87 million) of the increase is due to sales
of the Company's variable products and the remaining 47% ($77 million) is a
result of portfolio appreciation due to the strong market conditions during the
first quarter of 1998. Premiums from sales of variable products primarily relate
to the Discovery Select product which was added to the Company's portfolio as of
January 1997. Separate Account asset-based charges such as mortality and expense
charges, administration fees and Separate Account gains are the elements
primarily attributable to these variances.

Net investment income increased $.7 million from $11.2 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
This increase is primarily driven by Separate Account gains which are the gains
from market appreciation on the Company's investment in the Separate Accounts.

Other income increased $1.5 million from $.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This
is primarily attributable to the increase in investment management fees which
are received by the Company for services Prudential provides to The Prudential 
Series Funds, an underlying investment option of the Separate Accounts.

Policyholders' benefits decreased $10.2 million from $18.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998. This decrease is mainly attributable to decreased policyholder surrender
activity.

2.   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity requirements include the payment of sales commissions
and other underwriting expenses and the funding of its contractual obligations
for the life insurance and annuity contracts it has in-force. The Company has
developed and utilizes a cash flow projection system and regularly performs
asset/liability duration matching in the management of its asset and liability
portfolios. The Company anticipates funding all its cash requirements utilizing
cash from operations, normal investment maturities, and anticipated calls and
repayments, consistent with prior years. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's
assets included $624.5 million of cash, short-term investments and investment
grade publicly traded fixed maturity securities that could be liquidated if
funds were required.

The Company conducts a thorough review of the adequacy of statutory insurance
reserves and other actuarial liabilities. The review is performed to ensure that
the Company's statutory reserves are computed in accordance with accepted
actuarial standards, reflect all contractual obligations, meet the requirements
of state laws and regulations and include adequate provisions for any other
actuarial liabilities that need to be established. All significant reserve
changes are reviewed by the Board of Directors and are subject to approval by
the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. The Company believes that
its statutory capital is adequate for its currently anticipated levels of risk
as measured by regulatory guidelines.
