INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
OF
THE PRUDENTIAL QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE CONTRACT ACCOUNT
This prospectus describes Individual Variable Annuity Contracts (the "Contract")
issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential"). The
Contracts are designed for use in connection with retirement arrangements that
qualify for federal tax benefits under Sections 401, 403(a), 403(b), 408 or 457
of the Internal Revenue Code.
Purchase payments made through payroll deductions or similar arrangements with
an employer must be at least $300 during any 12-month period. Any other purchase
payment must be at least $50 ($100 or $300 under a certain form of the
Contract). Your accumulated purchase payments will be allocated as you direct in
one or both of two ways: 1) in one or more of thirteen subaccounts of The
Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account"); and
2) under a fixed-rate option. The assets of each subaccount of the Account will
be invested in a corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc.
(the "Series Fund"). The attached prospectus for the Series Fund and its
statement of additional information describe the investment objectives of and
the risks of investing in the thirteen portfolios of the Series Fund currently
available to Contract owners: the Money Market Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio,
the Government Securities Portfolio, the Conservatively Managed Flexible
Portfolio, the Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio, the High Yield Bond
Portfolio, the Stock Index Portfolio, the High Dividend Stock Portfolio, the
Common Stock Portfolio, the Growth Stock Portfolio, the Small Capitalization
Stock Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, and the Natural Resources
Portfolio. This prospectus describes the Contract generally and The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account.

DEFINITIONS OF SPECIAL TERMS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS
annuitant--The person or persons designated by the Contract owner, upon whose
life or lives monthly annuity payments are based after an annuity is effected.
annuity contract or annuity--A contract designed to provide an annuitant with an
income, which may be a lifetime income, beginning on the annuity date.
annuity date--The date, specified in the Contract, when annuity payments are to
begin.
Contract anniversary date--The same day and month as the Contract date in each
later year.
Contract date--The date The Prudential received the initial purchase payment for
the Contract.
Contract fund--The total value attributable to a specific Contract representing
the sum of all the amounts in the Variable Account (defined below) and the
fixed-rate option (defined below).
Contract owner--The person who purchases a Qualified Individual Variable Annuity
Contract of Prudential's Variable Investment Plan(R) and makes the purchase
payments. The Contract owner will usually also be an annuitant, but need not be.
The Contract owner has all rights in the Contract before the annuity date,
including the right to make withdrawals or surrender the Contract, to designate
and change the beneficiaries who will receive the proceeds at the death of the
annuitant before the annuity date, to transfer funds among the subaccounts, and
to designate a mode of settlement for the annuitant on the annuity date.
Contract year--A year that starts on the Contract date or on a Contract
anniversary.
fixed-rate option--An investment option under which The Prudential credits
interest to the amount allocated at a rate periodically declared in advance by
Prudential but not less than 3%.
subaccount--A division of the Account, the assets of which are invested in the
shares of the corresponding Portfolio of the Series Fund.
Subaccount Annuity Unit--When a Contract owner elects to convert his or her
Variable Account into monthly variable annuity payments, the number of
Subaccount Units (defined below) credited to him or her in each subaccount is
first reduced to take into account any applicable sales charge and any state
premium taxes that may be payable. The remaining Subaccount Units are then
converted into a number of Subaccount Annuity Units of equal aggregate value. As
with Subaccount Units, the value of each Subaccount Annuity Unit also changes
each day to reflect the investment results and expenses of and deductions of
charges from the underlying Series Fund portfolio, after deduction of the daily
equivalent of the annual charge of up to 1.2% for assuming expense and mortality
risks. For further discussion, see page C1 of the statement of additional
information.
Subaccount Unit--The Contract owner's Variable Account is credited with Units in
each subaccount in which he or she invests. The value of these Units changes
each day to reflect the investment results and expenses of and deductions of
charges from the Series Fund portfolios in which the assets of the subaccount
are invested, in much the same way that the share values of a mutual fund change
each day. The value of the Contract owner's Variable Account is the sum of the
value of Subaccount Units in each subaccount.
The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account")--A
separate account of The Prudential registered as a unit investment trust under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund")--A mutual fund with
separate portfolios, one or more of which may be chosen as an underlying
investment for the Contract.
valuation period--The period of time from one determination of the value of the
amount invested in a subaccount to the next. Such determinations are made when
the net asset values of the Portfolios of the Series Fund are calculated, which
is generally at 4:15 p.m. New York City time on each day during which the New
York Stock Exchange is open.
Variable Account--The value attributable to a specific Contract representing
amounts in all the subaccounts.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Annuity Contract. The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Annuity Contract (the "Contract") is designed for
use in connection with various retirement arrangements entitled to federal
income tax benefits (qualified plans). These are (a) individual retirement
accounts ("IRAs") subject to Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), (b) tax-deferred annuities ("TDA") subject to Section 403(b) of the
Code, for use by employees of public schools and certain tax-exempt
organizations, (c) eligible deferred compensation plans subject to Section 457
of the Code, and (d) pension and profit-sharing plans qualified under Sections
401(a) and 403(a) of the Code, including those established by self-employed
individuals for themselves and their employees. The Contracts provide a way of
accumulating your savings and investing them in one or more securities
portfolios with different investment objectives, and then using them to
supplement your monthly income after you retire. (The words "you" and "your" as
used in this prospectus refer to the owner of the Contract. See Ownership of the
Contract, page 25. The word "we" refers to The Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("The Prudential").)
This prospectus describes three forms of the Contract. One form, which was first
offered in 1983, is called the WVQ-83 Contract (persons holding this Contract
can identify it by the WVQ-83 designation which appears in the lower left corner
of the Contract cover page). A second form, which is a revised edition of the
WVQ-83 Contract, is called the QVIP-84 Contract (persons holding this Contract
can identify it by the QVIP-84 designation which appears in the lower left
corner of the Contract cover page). The third form, which is a revised edition
of the QVIP-84 Contract, is called the VIP-86 Contract (except as described
below, persons holding this Contract can identify it by the VIP-86 designation
which appears in the lower left corner of the Contract cover page). In Texas,
this Contract bears a VIP-89 designation; however, it will be referred to as the
VIP-86 Contract throughout this prospectus. Currently, only the VIP-86 Contract
is offered in all jurisdictions.
The three forms of Contract are basically similar, but there are some
significant differences. This prospectus describes each of the Contracts and
explains, where appropriate, the respects in which they differ. Because the
differences between the first form, WVQ-83, and the later two forms are somewhat
extensive, a special section, Differences Under The WVQ-83 Contract, is included
on page 26, to which reference will occasionally be made.
You may make purchase payments under your Contract at regular intervals or from
time to time as you have funds available. Purchase payments made through payroll
deduction or similar arrangements with an employer must be at a rate of at least
$300 during any 12-month period. Any other purchase payment must be at least
$50. (For VIP-86 Contracts issued prior to May 1, 1991, other purchase payments
must be at least $100; For VIP-86 Contracts issued on or after May 1, 1991,
other purchase payments must be at least $300.) See Requirements for Issuance of
a Contract, page 12.
Purchase payments are held in one or more subaccounts of The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account") as you direct.
You may also direct that all or part of your payment be allocated to a
fixed-rate option providing for the addition of interest at a guaranteed rate
upon the amount so held. Each subaccount is invested in a corresponding
portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"), a series
mutual fund for which The Prudential is the investment advisor. The Series Fund
currently has thirteen portfolios available for investment by Contract owners.
The Money Market Portfolio is invested in short-term debt obligations similar to
those purchased by money market funds; the Bond Portfolio is invested primarily
in high quality medium-term corporate and government debt securities; the
Government Securities Portfolio is invested primarily in U.S. Government
securities including intermediate and long-term U.S. Treasury securities and
debt obligations issued by agencies of or instrumentalities established,
sponsored or guaranteed by the U.S. Government; the Conservatively Managed
Flexible Portfolio is invested in a mix of money market instruments, fixed
income securities, and common stocks, in proportions believed by the investment
manager to be appropriate for an investor who desires diversification of
investment who prefers a relatively lower risk of loss and a correspondingly
reduced chance of high appreciation; the Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio
is invested in a mix of money market instruments, fixed income securities, and
common stocks, in proportions believed by the investment manager to be
appropriate for an investor desiring diversification of investment who is
willing to accept a relatively high level of loss in an effort to achieve
greater appreciation; the High Yield Bond Portfolio is invested primarily in
high yield fixed income securities of medium to lower quality, also known as
high risk bonds; the Stock Index Portfolio is invested in common stocks selected
to duplicate the price and yield performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index; the High Dividend Stock Portfolio is invested
primarily in common stocks and convertible securities that provide favorable
prospects for investment income returns above those of the Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index or the NYSE Composite Index; the Common Stock Portfolio is invested
primarily in common stocks; the Growth Stock Portfolio is invested primarily in
equity securities of established companies with above-average growth prospects;
the Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio is invested primarily in equity
securities of publicly-traded companies with small market capitalization; the
Global Equity Portfolio is invested primarily in common stocks and common stock
equivalents (such as convertible debt securities) of foreign and domestic
2
<PAGE>
issuers; and the Natural Resources Portfolio is invested primarily in common
stocks and convertible securities of natural resource companies, and in
securities (typically debt securities or preferred stock) the terms of which are
related to the market value of a natural resource. Further information about the
Series Fund portfolios can be found under The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. on
page 11, and in the attached prospectus for the Series Fund.
You may place all of your payment in one subaccount or divide it among any of
the thirteen and the fixed-rate option. You may transfer funds from one
subaccount to another and to the fixed-rate option. There are limitations upon
transfers from the fixed-rate option to the subaccounts. (See Transfers, page
13.) The amount credited to you in a subaccount will initially be equal to that
part of your purchase payment that you choose to invest in the subaccount.
Thereafter the value of your holdings in the subaccount, after deducting charges
payable under the Contract, will vary in accordance with investment results. See
Valuation of Contract Owner's Contract Fund, page 15, and page C1 of the
statement of additional information. The total value attributable to a specific
Contract representing amounts allocated to all subaccounts and the fixed-rate
option is known as the "Contract fund". You will receive confirmations of every
purchase payment you make. You will also receive annual statements showing the
status of your Contract fund.
The Contracts described in this prospectus have an attractive feature. During
the first 3 Contract years, and in Contract years thereafter at The Prudential's
discretion, The Prudential will add an additional amount, as a bonus, of 1% to
every purchase payment. The Prudential reserves the right to limit its payment
of such additional amounts under a particular Contract to $1,000 in each
Contract year. This additional amount will be allocated among the subaccounts
and the fixed-rate option in the same proportions as the purchase payment to
which it is added. (See Additional Amounts, page 13). During the first 8
Contract years following a purchase payment, the bonus attributable to any
portion of that purchase payment that is withdrawn will be recaptured by The
Prudential, unless such withdrawn purchase payment is used to effect an annuity
that is not subject to a sales charge or is subject to a reduced sales charge.
See Sales Charges on Withdrawals, page 16, and Recapture of Additional Amounts,
page 17.
Unless restricted by the retirement arrangement in connection with which you
have purchased a Contract, you may withdraw all or part of your money at any
time. See Withdrawals, page 14. Federal tax law imposes additional withdrawal
restrictions on tax-deferred annuity contracts subject to Section 403(b) of the
Code. See Withdrawals, page 14, and Section 403(b) Annuities, page 21. The
amount you request will be deducted from your Contract fund. If your Contract
remains in effect until you retire or until you reach the age of 59 1/2 under
certain retirement plans, you may withdraw the amount credited to you in a lump
sum or use it to effect a monthly annuity that will continue as long as the
annuitant lives or for some other period you select. Other than an annuity
selected under the Supplemental Life Annuity Option, WVQ-83 and QVIP-84 Contract
owners may elect to receive a variable annuity. If you elect a variable annuity
option, annuity payments will vary each month in accordance with the investment
performance of the subaccount[s] you have chosen. See page C1 of the statement
of additional information. If you elect a fixed-dollar annuity option, annuity
payments will be in monthly installments of guaranteed amounts. VIP-86 Contract
owners may only elect a fixed-dollar annuity option. A sales charge may be
deducted from the amount withdrawn, and federal income taxes may be imposed upon
a withdrawal. The sales charge will be higher with respect to withdrawal of a
purchase payment if it is withdrawn in early years, soon after the purchase
payment was made. See Sales Charges on Withdrawals, page 16, FEDERAL TAX STATUS,
page 19, and EFFECTING AN ANNUITY, page 22.
Charges under the Contracts. The charges made by The Prudential are intended to
compensate it for paying the various categories of expenses incurred in
maintaining and operating the Account (up to $30 annually, if applicable) and
for assuming mortality and expense risks under the Contracts (an annual rate of
up to 1.2% of the assets held in the subaccount). In addition, there are other
expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of the Series
Fund, the most significant of which is an investment management fee ranging from
an annual rate of 0.35% to 0.75% of the aggregate average daily net assets in
each of the portfolios. For more information regarding these charges, see
CHARGES, FEES, AND DEDUCTIONS, page 15.
A deferred sales charge is imposed to reimburse The Prudential for distribution
expenses such as commissions paid to sales personnel, costs of advertising and
sales promotions, prospectus costs, and costs of sales administration. Many
mutual funds other than no-load funds make this charge by deducting a percentage
of the investor's purchase payment and investing only the remainder. Under the
Contracts described in this prospectus, each purchase payment you make (after
deduction of any applicable amount needed to pay premium tax) is allocated to
the subaccount designated by you or to the fixed-rate option if so directed. In
any Contract year you may make withdrawals without charge of up to 10% of your
Contract fund value on the date of the first withdrawal in that Contract year. A
sales charge may be deducted on withdrawals above 10%. The charge is 8% (the
maximum charge) of the amount of each purchase payment withdrawn during the same
Contract year that it was made. Thereafter the charge decreases by 1% per
Contract year. See Sales Charges on Withdrawals, page 16. Purchase payments
withdrawn 8 or more Contract years after they were made are subject to no sales
charge at all.
3
<PAGE>
Withdrawals may be subject to tax consequences under the Code. See Withdrawals,
page 14 and FEDERAL TAX STATUS, page 19.
On any Contract subject to a premium tax, The Prudential will deduct the tax, as
provided under applicable law, from the purchase payment when received, or from
the Contract fund at the time the annuity is effected. The deduction for taxes
imposed on purchase payments will be lower, or not made at all, if total
purchase payments meet certain minimum amounts. See Premium Taxes, page 15.
Transfers Among Investment Options. Transfers may be made from one subaccount to
another or to the fixed-rate option if the amount transferred is $300 or more
and any amount remaining to your credit in the subaccount after the transfer is
not less than $300. Also, you can transfer the total amount remaining in any
subaccount even if that amount is less than $300. Up to four transfers a year
between subaccounts or to the fixed-rated option may be made during the period
before annuity payments begin. Transfers from the fixed-rate option to the
subaccounts are permitted only once each Contract year, and there are other
limitations on such transfers. See Transfers, page 13.
WVQ-83 Contract owners and QVIP-84 Contract owners may convert their Contract
fund into either a variable (if available) or fixed dollar annuity. After
variable annuity payments begin, the annuitant may make full or partial
transfers from any subaccount to one or more other subaccounts. The Prudential's
consent is needed if (1) more than four transfers are made in a year, or (2) for
any partial transfers, either the number of Subaccount Annuity Units to be
transferred or the number to be retained, multiplied by the corresponding
Subaccount Annuity Unit Value on the transfer effective date, is less than $20.
Transfer requests may be in writing. Transfer requests may also be made by
telephone. A transfer will generally be made at the end of the valuation period
in which your proper written request or authorized telephone request is received
by The Prudential. See Transfers, page 13.
Free Look. For a limited time, a Contract may be returned for a refund in
accordance with the terms of its "free-look" provision. See Short-Term
Cancellation Right or "Free Look", page 12.
How to Contact The Prudential. All written requests and notices required by the
Contracts, such as withdrawal or transfer requests, and any questions or
inquiries should be sent to your designated Prudential Service Office.
This Brief Description of the Contract is intended to provide a broad overview
of the more significant features of the Contract. More detailed information will
be found in subsequent sections of this prospectus and in the Contract document.

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
The purpose of the foregoing tables is to assist the Contract owners in
understanding the expenses of The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable
Contract Account and The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund") that
they bear, directly or indirectly. See the sections on charges in this
prospectus and the attached prospectus for the Series Fund. The above tables do
not include any state premium taxes.
Except for the Global Equity Portfolio, The Prudential reimburses a portfolio
when its ordinary operating expenses, excluding taxes, interest, and brokerage
commissions exceed 0.75% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. The
amounts listed for the portfolios under "Other Expenses" are based on amounts
incurred in the last fiscal year.
The Growth Stock and Small Capitalization Stock Portfolios were not in operation
in 1994 and therefore do not have actual expense amounts available.
Consequently, for the fee table above and the examples that follow, the figures
shown as "Other Expenses" and total expenses are based on estimated amounts for
the current fiscal year. It is anticipated that as average net assets of both
portfolios grow, the magnitude of "Other Expenses" will decrease and become
comparable to that of other portfolios.
Examples of Fees and Expenses.
The following examples, and those on page 7, illustrate the cumulative dollar
amount of all the above expenses that would be incurred on each $1,000
investment,
o The examples assume a consistent 5% annual return on invested assets;
o The examples do not take into consideration any taxes attributable to
premiums which may be payable at the time of annuitization or at the time
of investment;
o The amounts shown are overstated for Contract funds over $10,000 and
understated for Contract funds less than $10,000;
o The examples assume that the operating expenses incurred in 1994 will
continue for a 10 year period, and that any caps applied to the expenses will
also continue.
For periods less than 10 years, the expenses shown in Table I, describe
applicable charges for the withdrawal, or surrender, of your entire Contract
fund. The examples should not be considered a representation of past or future
expenses; actual expenses incurred in any given year may be more or less than
those shown in the examples.
The following example shows how the Year 1 expenses shown in Table I were
calculated for the Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio, for each $1,000
invested. This assumes a withdrawal is made just prior to the end of the first
year after payment. The amount of the Annual Administrative Charge in this
example is calculated in a manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Initial Investment $1,000.00
Plus 1% bonus ($1,000 + $10) 1,010.00
5% Assumed Rate of Return ($1,010 x 1.05) 1,060.50
Average Value of Funds [($1,010 + $1,060.50)/2] 1,035.25
Annual Expenses (1.2 risk fees + 0.60 management fee
+ 0.06 expense) 1.86%
Annual Administrative Charge 1.66
Total Contract Expenses ($1,035.25 x 1.86%) + $1.66 20.92
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge computation for surrender or withdrawal of
entire fund:
Net Contract fund ($1,060.50 - $20.92) $1,039.58
10% Charge-free withdrawal 103.96
Initial investment 1,000.00*
Amount subject to surrender charge ($1,000 - $103.96) 896.04
Surrender charge @ 8% 71.68
Plus Total Contract Expenses (as calculated above) 20.92
----------
TOTAL CHARGES $ 92.60
*Note that in this example, The Prudential would recapture the 1% bonus that had
been credited to the initial investment.

TABLE I
If you withdraw your entire Contract fund or surrender your Contract just prior
to the end of the applicable time period, you would pay the following cumulative
expenses on each $1,000 invested, assuming 5% annual return on assets:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
------ ------- ------- --------
Money Market Portfolio........................ $91 $112 $136 $219
Bond Portfolio................................ $90 $111 $135 $217
Government Securities Portfolio............... $90 $111 $135 $217
Conservatively Managed Flexible Portfolio..... $92 $116 $144 $234
Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio ...... $93 $118 $146 $240
High Yield Bond Portfolio..................... $92 $118 $146 $238
Stock Index Portfolio......................... $90 $110 $134 $213
High Dividend Stock Portfolio................. $91 $114 $139 $224
Common Stock Portfolio........................ $91 $115 $140 $228
Growth Stock Portfolio........................ $94 $121 $151 $249
Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio.......... $92 $117 $144 $235
Global Equity Portfolio....................... $99 $136 $176 $299
Natural Resources Portfolio................... $92 $116 $144 $234
As an example, if the entire Contract fund is invested in the Aggressively
Managed Flexible Portfolio, and you surrendered your entire Contract just prior
to the end of 1 year, you would pay $93 per $1,000 invested, reflecting all
charges including the 8% contingent deferred sales charge.
TABLE II
If you annuitize just before the end of the applicable time period, you would
pay the following cumulative expenses on each $1,000 invested, assuming 5%
annual return on assets:
(Note: The 1, 3, and 5 Year columns reflect the imposition of the contingent
deferred sales charge; however, some of the annuity options may not be subject
to this charge after year 3. Where this is the case, the expenses shown in
Table III below would be applicable. See page 16 under the Sales Charges on
Withdrawals section.)
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
------ ------- ------- --------
Money Market Portfolio........................ $91 $112 $136 $219
Bond Portfolio................................ $90 $111 $135 $217
Government Securities Portfolio............... $90 $111 $135 $217
Conservatively Managed Flexible Portfolio..... $92 $116 $144 $234
Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio....... $93 $118 $146 $240
High Yield Bond Portfolio..................... $92 $118 $146 $238
Stock Index Portfolio......................... $90 $110 $134 $213
High Dividend Stock Portfolio................. $91 $114 $139 $224
Common Stock Portfolio........................ $91 $115 $140 $228
Growth Stock Portfolio........................ $94 $121 $151 $249
Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio.......... $92 $117 $144 $235
Global Equity Portfolio....................... $99 $136 $176 $299
Natural Resources Portfolio................... $92 $116 $144 $234
TABLE III
If you do not withdraw any portion of your Contract fund as of the end of the
applicable time period, you would pay the following cumulative expenses on each
$1,000 invested, assuming 5% annual return on assets:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
------ ------- ------- --------
Money Market Portfolio........................ $19 $ 59 $101 $219
Bond Portfolio................................ $19 $ 58 $100 $217
Government Securities Portfolio............... $19 $ 58 $100 $217
Conservatively Managed Flexible Portfolio..... $20 $ 63 $108 $234
Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio....... $21 $ 65 $111 $240
High Yield Bond Portfolio..................... $21 $ 64 $110 $238
Stock Index Portfolio......................... $18 $ 57 $ 98 $213
High Dividend Stock Portfolio................. $19 $ 60 $104 $224
Common Stock Portfolio........................ $20 $ 61 $105 $228
Growth Stock Portfolio........................ $22 $ 67 $116 $249
Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio.......... $20 $ 63 $109 $235
Global Equity Portfolio....................... $27 $ 82 $141 $299
Natural Resources Portfolio................... $20 $ 63 $108 $234
Notice that in all 3 of the above tables, the level of cumulative charges is
identical for the 10 year column. This is because at that point there are no
contingent deferred sale charges taken by The Prudential upon surrender or
annuitization. It may be helpful to consider the dollar amounts shown as
percentages of the amount invested ($1,000) over the period specified. In the
case of the Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio, $240 at the end of 10 years
equals $24.00 per year, or approximately 2.4% of $1,000.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRUDENTIAL, THE PRUDENTIAL
QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE CONTRACT ACCOUNT, AND THE
PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC.
The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("The Prudential") is a mutual insurance company, founded in 1875 under
the laws of the State of New Jersey. It is licensed to sell life insurance and
annuities in the District of Columbia, Guam, and in all states. These Contracts
are not offered in any state in which the necessary approvals have not yet been
obtained.
The Prudential's consolidated financial statements appear in the statement of
additional information and should be considered only as bearing upon The
Prudential's ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts.
The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account. The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account") was established
on October 12, 1982 under New Jersey law as a separate investment account. The
Account meets the definition of a "separate account" under the federal
securities laws. The Account holds assets that are segregated from all of The
Prudential's other assets.
The obligations to Contract owners and beneficiaries arising under the Contract
are general corporation obligations of The Prudential. The Prudential is also
the legal owner of the assets in the Account. The Prudential will at all times
maintain assets in the Account with a total market value at least equal to the
reserve and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits attributable to
the Account. These assets may not be charged with liabilities which arise from
any other business The Prudential conducts. In addition to these assets, the
Account's assets may include funds contributed by The Prudential to commence
operation of the Account and may include accumulations of the charges The
Prudential makes against the Account. From time to time these additional assets
will be transferred to The Prudential's general account. Before making any such
transfer, The Prudential will consider any possible adverse impact the transfer
might have on the Account.
The Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") as a unit investment
trust, which is a type of investment company. This does not involve any
supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices of
the Account. For state law purposes, the Account is treated as a part or
division of The Prudential. There are currently thirteen subaccounts within the
Account, each of which invests in a single corresponding portfolio of the Series
Fund. Additional subaccounts may be added in the future. The Account's financial
statements appear in the statement of additional information.
The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series
Fund") is registered under the 1940 Act as an open-end diversified management
investment company. Its shares are currently sold only to separate accounts of
The Prudential and certain other insurers that offer variable life insurance and
variable annuity contracts. The Account will purchase and redeem shares from the
Series Fund at net asset value. Shares will be redeemed to the extent necessary
for The Prudential to provide benefits under the Contract and to transfer assets
from one subaccount to another, as requested by Contract owners. Any dividend or
capital gain distribution received from a portfolio of the Series Fund will be
reinvested immediately at net asset value in shares of that portfolio and
retained as assets of the corresponding subaccount.
The Prudential is the investment advisor for the assets of each of the
portfolios of the Series Fund. The Prudential's principal business address is
Prudential Plaza, Newark, New Jersey 07102-3777. The Prudential has a Service
Agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary The Prudential Investment Corporation
("PIC"), which provides that, subject to The Prudential's supervision, PIC will
furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the
Series Fund. In addition, The Prudential has entered into a Subadvisory
Agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary Jennison Associates Capital Corp.
("Jennison"), under which Jennison furnishes investment advisory services in
connection with the management of the Growth Stock Portfolio. Further detail is
provided in the prospectus and statement of additional information for the
Series Fund. The Prudential, PIC, and Jennison are registered as investment
advisors under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
As an investment advisor, The Prudential charges the Series Fund a daily
investment management fee as compensation for its services. The following table
shows the investment management fee charged for each portfolio of the Series
Fund available for investment by Contract owners.

It is conceivable that in the future it may become disadvantageous for both
variable life insurance and variable annuity contract separate accounts to
invest in the same underlying mutual fund. Although neither the companies which
invest in the Series Fund, nor the Series Fund currently foresees any such
disadvantage, the Series Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in
order to identify any material conflict between variable life insurance and
variable annuity contract owners and to determine what action, if any, should be
taken in response thereto. Material conflicts could result from such things as:
(1) changes in state insurance law; (2) changes in federal income tax law; (3)
changes in the investment management of any portfolio of the Series Fund; or (4)
differences between voting instructions given by variable life insurance and
variable annuity contract owners.
A full description of the Series Fund, its investment objectives, management,
policies, and restrictions, its expenses, the risks attendant to investment
therein--including any risks associated with investment in the High Yield Bond
Portfolio, and all other aspects of its operation is contained in the attached
prospectus for the Series Fund and in its statement of additional information,
which should be read in conjunction with this prospectus. There is no assurance
that the investment objectives will be met.
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTRACT
Requirements for Issuance of a Contract. The Contract requires purchase payments
made, through payroll deduction or similar arrangements with an employer, at a
rate of at least $300 during any 12-month period. Any other purchase payment
must be at least $50 ($100 under VIP-86 Contracts issued prior to May 1, 1991,
$300 under such Contracts issued on and after May 1, 1991). The Contract may
generally be issued on proposed annuitants below the age of 69. Before issuing
any Contract, The Prudential requires submission of certain information.
Following The Prudential's review of the information and approval of issuance of
the Contract, a Contract will be issued that sets forth precisely the owner's
rights and the Company's obligations. Additional purchase payments may be made
by check payable to the order of The Prudential and mailed to your designated
Prudential Home Office accompanied by forms that will be provided for this
purpose. The Prudential currently will not accept purchase payments on or after
the annuitants's 69th birthday, but reserves the right to do so.
The Contract date will be the date the purchase payment and required information
are received in The Prudential Home Office. The amount credited under the
Contract begins to vary on that date to reflect the investment results of the
investment option[s] and/or the interest rate declared for the fixed-rate option
as chosen by the applicant. If the issuance of the Contract is not approved,
because the current underwriting requirements are not met, the purchase payment
will promptly be returned. The Company reserves the right to change these
requirements on a non-discriminatory basis.
Short-Term Cancellation Right or "Free Look". Generally, a Contract may be
returned for a refund within 10 days after it is received by the Contract owner.
Some states allow a longer period of time during which a Contract may be
returned for a refund. A refund can be requested by mailing or delivering the
Contract to the representative who sold it or to the Prudential Home Office
specified in the Contract. The Contract owner will then receive a refund of all
purchase payments made, plus or minus any change due to investment experience in
the value of the invested portion of the payments, excluding any bonus paid on
the purchase payments, calculated as if no charges had been made against the
Account or the Series Fund. However, if applicable law so requires, the Contract
owner who exercises his or her short-term cancellation right will receive a
refund of all purchase payments made, excluding any bonus paid on the purchase
payments, with no adjustment for investment experience.
Allocation of Purchase Payments. The Contract owner determines how the purchase
payment will be allocated among the subaccounts and between the Account and the
fixed-rate option by specifying the desired allocation
12
<PAGE>
on the application form for a Contract. You may change subsequent purchase
payment allocations by providing us with written instructions. You may also
change subsequent purchase payment allocations by telephoning your designated
Prudential Home Office, provided the Contract owner is enrolled to use the
Telephone Transfer System. If, after you have made one purchase payment, you
send The Prudential an additional purchase payment without instructions about
how the purchase payment should be allocated, The Prudential will allocate the
purchase payment in the same proportions as the most recent purchase payment you
made.
Additionally, a feature called Dollar Cost Averaging is available to Contract
owners who make an allocation to the Money Market Subaccount. Under this
feature, automatic flat dollar amounts will be transferred monthly from the
Money Market Subaccount into other investment options available under the
Contract, excluding the fixed-rate option. At issue, the minimum amount
initially designated for transfer under this feature must be the greater of
$2,000 and 10% of the initial premium payment. After issue, The Prudential will
accept an amount less than $2,000 provided it brings the balance in any current
Dollar Cost Averaging account up to $2,000. Monthly transfers must be at least
3% of the amount allocated to the Dollar Cost Averaging account, with a minimum
of $20 transferred into any one investment option. These amounts are subject to
change at The Prudential's discretion. The minimum transfer amount will only be
recalculated upon an increase in the amount allocated to the feature.
Each automatic monthly transfer will take effect as of the end of the valuation
period on the Monthly date (i.e. the Contract date and the same date in each
subsequent month), provided the New York Stock Exchange is open on that date. If
the New York Stock Exchange is not open on that date, or if the Monthly date
does not occur in that particular month, the transfer will take effect as of the
end of the last valuation period which immediately precedes that Monthly date.
Automatic monthly transfers will continue until the amount designated for Dollar
Cost Averaging has been transferred, or until the Contract owner gives
notification of a change in allocation or cancellation of the feature.
Currently, there is no charge for using the Dollar Cost Averaging feature.
Additional Amounts. During the first 3 Contract years, and in Contract years
thereafter at The Prudential's discretion, The Prudential will add an additional
amount, as a bonus, of 1% to every purchase payment that you make and allocate
that additional amount to the Account and fixed-rate option in the same manner
as your purchase payment. The Prudential reserves the right, however, to limit
its payment of such additional amounts to $1,000 in each Contract year. This
additional amount, or bonus, will work as follows. Suppose you make an initial
purchase payment of $2,000 to be allocated equally to the Common Stock
Subaccount and the fixed-rate option. The Prudential will increase the payment
by 1%, or $20, and allocate $1010 to both the Common Stock Subaccount and to the
fixed-rate option. Later in the year you send an additional purchase payment of
$600, but you fail to indicate how it should be applied. The Prudential will
increase that amount by 1% or $6, and based on your most recent instruction,
will allocate $303 to both the Common Stock Subaccount and to the fixed-rate
option.
The additional amount will not be subject to state or local premium taxes. It
will, however, be recaptured by The Prudential in the event you make a
withdrawal of a purchase payment on which an additional amount was paid within 8
Contract years after the payment, unless such withdrawn purchase payment is used
to effect an annuity that is not subject to a sales charge or is subject to a
reduced sales charge. See Sales Charges on Withdrawals, page 16, and Recapture
of Additional Amounts, page 17.
Transfers. You may transfer the portions of your Contract fund allocated to any
subaccount to any of the other subaccounts or to the fixed-rate option without
charge. Transfers must be in amounts of $300 or more, or the total amount in the
subaccount, if less than $300, and must not cause the amount credited to you in
any subaccount to be less than $300, unless you transfer the entire amount in
that subaccount. The Contract owner may transfer amounts by proper written
notice to a Prudential Home Office, or by telephone unless the Contract owner
asks that transfers by telephone not be made. The Prudential has adopted
procedures designed to ensure that requests by telephone are genuine and will
require appropriate identification for that purpose. The Prudential cannot
guarantee that owners will be able to get through to complete a telephone
transfer during peak periods such as periods of drastic economic or market
change. You may make up to four transfers per Contract year without The
Prudential's consent during the period before annuity payments begin. After
variable annuity payments begin, part or all of the interest in a subaccount may
be transferred to one or more other subaccounts. The annuitant may then make up
to four transfers per Contract year without The Prudential's consent. Any
partial transfer will require The Prudential's consent if either the number of
Subaccount Annuity Units to be transferred or the number to be retained,
multiplied by the corresponding Subaccount Annuity Unit Value on the transfer
effective date, is less than $20. Transfers among subaccounts will take effect
as of the end of the valuation period in which a proper transfer request is
received at a Prudential Home Office, except that if the request is received
within 7 days of an annuity payment date, it will be made on the first business
day after the annuity payment date.
Transfers from the fixed-rate option to the subaccounts are currently permitted
once each Contract year and only during the 30-day period beginning on the
Contract anniversary. The maximum amount which may currently be
13
<PAGE>
transferred out of the fixed-rate option each year is the greater of: (a) 25% of
the amount in the fixed-rate option, and (b) $2,000. Transfer requests received
prior to the Contract anniversary will be effected on the Contract anniversary.
Transfer requests received within the 30-day period beginning on the Contract
anniversary will be effected as of the end of the valuation period in which a
proper transfer request is received at a Prudential Home Office. These limits
are subject to change in the future.
Withdrawals. Unless restricted by the retirement arrangement under which you are
covered, you may at any time withdraw all or part of your investment in the
Contract fund. Partial withdrawals from a subaccount or the fixed-rate option,
however, must be made in amounts of $300 or more and cannot reduce the value of
your interest remaining in such subaccount or the fixed-rate option to less than
$300. If a withdrawal results in less than $300 remaining, the entire value of
the subaccount or the fixed-rate option must be withdrawn. In addition, there
are certain restrictions on the withdrawal of salary reduction contributions and
earnings invested in annuity contracts subject to Section 403(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code. Under such contracts, withdrawals may be made prior to attaining
age 59 1/2 in the event of severance of employment, death, total and permanent
disability and, in limited circumstances, hardship (See Section 403(b)
Annuities, page 21). Amounts held under TDA contracts as of December 31, 1988
are exempt from these restrictions. The withdrawal restrictions do not apply to
transfers among the available investment options and do not apply to the direct
transfer of all or part of your interest in the Contract to a Section 403(b)
tax-deferred annuity contract of another insurance company or to a mutual fund
custodial account under Section 403(b)(7). The Prudential will generally pay the
amount of any withdrawal, less any applicable sales charges and any required tax
withholding, within 7 days after it receives a properly completed withdrawal
request. The Prudential may delay payment of any withdrawal allocable to the
subaccount[s] for a longer period if the disposal or valuation of the Account's
assets is not reasonably practicable because the New York Stock Exchange is
closed for other than a regular holiday or weekend, trading is restricted by the
SEC or the SEC declares that an emergency exists. With respect to the amount of
any withdrawal allocable to the fixed-rate option, The Prudential expects to pay
the withdrawal promptly upon request. However, The Prudential has the right to
delay payment of such withdrawal for up to 6 months (or a shorter period if
required by applicable law). The Prudential will pay interest of at least 3% a
year if it delays such a payment for 30 days or more (or a shorter period if
required by applicable law).
A withdrawal will generally have federal income tax consequences, which could
include tax penalties. You should check the terms of your retirement plan and
consult with a tax advisor before making a withdrawal. See FEDERAL TAX STATUS,
page 19.
Under certain types of retirement arrangements, the Retirement Equity Act of
1984 provides that, in the case of a married Participant, a withdrawal request
must include the consent of the Participant's spouse. This consent must contain
the Participant's signature and the notarized or properly witnessed signature of
the Participant's spouse. These spousal consent requirements were effective
beginning January 1, 1985 and apply to married Participants in most qualified
pension plans, including plans for self-employed individuals, and those Section
403(b) annuities which are considered employee pension benefit plans under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Death Benefit. If the annuitant should die before he or she has begun to receive
annuity payments, a death benefit, calculated as of the date due proof of death
is received by The Prudential, will be payable to the beneficiary you designate.
Unless the retirement arrangement that covered you provides otherwise, the
beneficiary will have the right to elect to receive this amount without the
imposition of any sales charge or any further annual maintenance charge, in one
sum, in periodic payments, in the form of a lifetime annuity or in a combination
of these ways. Payments will begin once The Prudential receives all information
necessary to process the claim. If the death benefit is payable as a result of
your coverage under a qualified retirement plan, IRA, SEP or tax-deferred
annuity, your entire death benefit must be distributed within 5 years after your
date of death. However, if an annuity payment option is elected, and if annuity
payments begin within one year of your death, the death benefits may be
distributed over the beneficiary's life expectancy. If your spouse is your
beneficiary, annuity payments need only begin on or before April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which you would have attained age
70 1/2 or in some instances, the remaining interest in the Contract may be
rolled over to an IRA owned by your spouse. With respect to Contracts issued in
connection with IRAs, if your spouse is the designated beneficiary, the Contract
may continue with your spouse treated as the employee. If you die after you have
begun to receive annuity payments as a result of your coverage under a qualified
retirement plan, IRA, SEP or tax-deferred annuity, but before your entire
interest in the Contract is distributed, the remaining portion of your interest
in the Contract must be distributed at least as rapidly under the method of
distribution being used as of your date of death. Special additional rules apply
to Contracts used in conjunction with plans subject to Section 457 of the Code.
If the beneficiary fails to make any election within any time limit prescribed
by or for the retirement arrangements that covered the Contract owner, The
Prudential will make a one-sum cash payment to the beneficiary, after deduction
of the annual account charge then due.
14
<PAGE>
Subject to the spousal consent rules discussed in the following paragraph,
unless the beneficiary has been irrevocably designated, you may change the
beneficiary at any time. If the annuitant should die before reaching age 65 and
before the annuity date, the amount payable to the beneficiary will be at least
equal to the total amount of purchase payments you have made plus any bonus
credited by The Prudential (reduced by any previous withdrawal[s] in the same
proportion that such withdrawal[s] reduced your Contract fund on the withdrawal
date[s]), even if the value of your Contract fund is less than this minimum
amount. (Under the WVQ-83 Contract, the minimum amount payable to the
beneficiary is determined in a different manner. See item 2 under Differences
Under the WVQ-83 Contract, page 26.) If the value of your Contract fund is
greater, however, that value will be payable to the beneficiary. If the
annuitant dies after the age of 65 but before the annuity date, the death
benefit payable to the beneficiary will be the value of your Contract fund. If
the annuitant dies after he or she has begun to receive annuity payments, the
death benefit, if any, will be determined by the type[s] of annuity payment you
have selected. See EFFECTING AN ANNUITY, page 22.
Under certain types of retirement arrangements, the Retirement Equity Act of
1984 provides that in the case of a married Participant, a pre-retirement
survivor annuity be paid to the Participant's spouse if the Participant dies
prior to his or her retirement under the plan. Generally, a Participant may
waive this coverage with his or her spouse's consent on or after attaining age
35 or upon termination of employment, if earlier. This consent must contain the
signatures of the Participant and spouse and must be notarized or witnessed by
an authorized plan representative. Unless such consent is obtained, the law
requires that at least 50% of the Participant's account balance as of his or her
date of death be used to purchase a life annuity form of payment for the
Participant's spouse even if the designated beneficiary is someone other than
the spouse. These spousal consent requirements were generally effective
beginning January 1, 1985 and apply to married vested Participants in most
qualified pension plans, including plans for self-employed individuals, and
those Section 403(b) annuities which are considered employee pension benefit
plans under ERISA.
Valuation of Contract Owner's Contract Fund. The value of your Contract fund is
the sum of your interests in your Variable Account and in the fixed-rate option.
The value of your Variable Account is the sum of your separate interests in each
subaccount in which you have invested. These values are measured in Units, for
example, Money Market Units, Bond Units or Aggressively Managed Flexible Units.
You are credited with Units in each subaccount in which you invest. Every
purchase payment you make is converted into Units of the subaccount or
subaccounts you have chosen by dividing the amount of the purchase payment by
the Unit Value for the subaccount to which you have allocated that purchase
payment. With regard to purchase payments subsequent to the initial payment
(described above), this is done as of the end of the valuation period in which
the payment is received at a Prudential Home Office. The value of these Units
changes each day to reflect the investment results and expenses of and
deductions of charges from the Series Fund portfolios in which the assets of the
subaccount are invested, in much the same way that the share values of a mutual
fund change each day. The manner in which the computation is made is complicated
and differs somewhat from how mutual fund share values are determined. It is
explained on page C1 of the statement of additional information. The result is
much the same, however. For example, the product of the number of Bond Units
that are credited to your Variable Account multiplied by the Bond Unit Value on
any day is the value of your exact proportionate share of the net assets of the
Bond Subaccount on that day, just as the number of shares you might hold in a
mutual fund multiplied by the value of a share represents the value of your
proportionate share of the net assets of the mutual fund.
There is, of course, no guarantee that the value of your Contract fund will
increase or that it will not fall below the amount of your total purchase
payments. However, The Prudential guarantees a minimum interest rate of 3% a
year on that portion of the Contract fund allocated to the fixed-rate option.
Excess interest on payments allocated to the fixed-rate option may be credited
in addition to the 3% guaranteed interest rate. See THE FIXED-RATE OPTION,
page 18.
If applicable, on each Contract anniversary date before the Annuity date, The
Prudential makes an annual maintenance charge of up to $30. See Annual
Maintenance Charge, page 18. If the Contract fund is allocated to more than one
subaccount or to one or more subaccounts and to the fixed-rate option, the
charge will be divided on a pro rata basis, according to the value held in each
subaccount and/or the fixed-rate option. This charge will also be made, as a
deduction from the proceeds of the withdrawal, if you withdraw your entire
Contract fund during the year, including a withdrawal to effect an annuity under
your Contract. That portion of the maintenance charge which is attributable to
your Variable Account will be assessed by reducing the number of Units credited
to your Variable Account.
CHARGES, FEES, AND DEDUCTIONS
1. Premium Taxes. In some states a premium tax is imposed on purchase payments.
In several other states a premium tax is payable when a Contract fund is
converted into an annuity. The tax rates currently in effect in those states
that impose a tax range from 1% to 5%. Some local jurisdictions also impose a
tax. On any Contract
15
<PAGE>
subject to premium tax, the tax will be deducted either from the purchase
payment when received (except as provided below) or from the Contract fund at
the time the annuity is effected.
A deduction for any such tax imposed on purchase payments will not be made,
however, except to the extent that the premium tax is in excess of 4% when: (1)
a Contract owner's total purchase payments, less any purchase payments
withdrawn, equal or exceed $50,000; or (2) a Contract owner purchases separate
Contracts for each of his or her children or grandchildren as annuitants, each
Contract has purchase payments totalling at least $25,000, and total purchase
payments, less any purchase payments withdrawn, equal or exceed $50,000.
2. Sales Charges on Withdrawals. A deferred sales charge may be imposed on the
withdrawal of purchase payments. The charge compensates The Prudential for
paying all of the expenses of selling and distributing the Contracts, including
commissions, preparation of sales literature, and other promotional activities.
To the extent that the deferred sales charge is insufficient to recover all
distribution expenses, the deficiency will be met from The Prudential's surplus
which is, in part, derived from the charges for the assumption of mortality and
expense risks (described in item 5 below) and from mortality gains from
Contracts under which annuity payments are being made. Any amount that you
withdraw will be treated for the purpose of determining sales charge as a
withdrawal of investment income, until you have withdrawn an amount equal to
your investment income. There is no sales charge on withdrawals of investment
income. For the purpose of determining sales charges, further withdrawals will
be considered withdrawals of purchase payments. Purchase payments are deemed to
be withdrawn on a first-in, first-out basis (that is, your first purchase
payments will be the first withdrawn). The amount of any sales charge will
depend on the purchase payments withdrawn and the number of Contract years that
have elapsed since you made the particular purchase payments. Your first
Contract year begins on the date your initial purchase payment is invested in
the Contract fund (the Contract date). A subsequent Contract year begins on each
anniversary of that date. (Under the WVQ-83 Contract, purchase payments, rather
than investment income, are deemed removed first under a withdrawal. Generally,
sales charges on withdrawals under the QVIP-84 Contract and the VIP-86 Contract
as described in this section will be less than under the WVQ-83 Contract because
investment income is deemed removed before purchase payments, and investment
income is not subject to sales charges. However, due to the possibility of
flexible purchase payments, multiple withdrawals and a variable return, it is
not possible to categorically state that the QVIP-84 Contract and the VIP-86
Contract result in lower charges. For a more detailed description of sales
charges on withdrawals under the WVQ-83 Contract, see item 1 under Differences
Under the WVQ-83 Contract, page 26.)
In each Contract year you may make withdrawals of purchase payments from your
Contract fund of up to 10% of the value of the Contract fund, valued as of the
date of first withdrawal in that Contract year, without incurring a sales
charge. This charge-free withdrawal amount does not accumulate from Contract
year to Contract year. If you withdraw all or part of a purchase payment before
the end of the Contract year during which it was made, the sales charge will be
8% of the purchase payment you withdraw, subject to the 10% free withdrawal
privilege. For example, suppose you make an initial purchase payment of $1,000.
Within the same Contract year you withdraw $450 and at the time of that
withdrawal the value of your Contract fund has grown to $1,100. Since
withdrawals are deemed for sales charge purposes to consist of investment income
first, the amount subject to a sales charge is $350 ($450 minus $100 of
investment income). However, 10% of the value of your Contract fund on the date
of the first withdrawal in the Contract year during which the withdrawal is made
may be withdrawn without charge. Ten percent of $1,100 is $110. Thus, the sales
charge, which generally increases the amount to be withdrawn, will be 8% of $240
(the purchase payment withdrawn minus $110), which is $19.20.
In addition, Critical Care Access is available for Contracts issued on or after
May 1, 1993. Based on regulatory approval of the Waiver of Withdrawal Charges
endorsement, all or part of any withdrawal and maintenance charges associated
with a full or partial withdrawal, or any annuitization or withdrawal charge due
on the annuity date, will be waived following the receipt of due proof that the
annuitant or co-annuitant (if applicable) has been confined to an eligible
nursing home or hospital for a period of at least 3 months or a physician has
certified that the annuitant or co-annuitant (if applicable) has 6 months or
less to live.
The sales charge imposed on the withdrawal of a purchase payment during the next
Contract year after it was made is 7% and continues to decrease by 1% per year
in accordance with the following table:

The sales charge percentages described in the above table will be subject to
reduction for purposes of complying with state non-forfeiture law.
Your withdrawal request must specify the source from which the withdrawal is to
be made. If you fail to specify, your withdrawal, subject to minimum amount
requirements, will be allocated among all subaccounts in which you have an
interest and the fixed-rate option if a portion of your Contract fund is
allocated to that option, in the same proportions as the value of your interest
in each subaccount and in the fixed-rate option bears to the total value of your
Contract fund. Your sales charge will be determined without reference to the
source of the withdrawal. The charge will be determined by reference to the
period that has elapsed since your earliest purchase payment not yet withdrawn,
even if that payment was not originally invested in or has subsequently been
transferred from the source from which the withdrawal was made.
Under the VIP-86 Contract, an annuity may not be effected earlier than 3 years
after the Contract date. If an annuity is effected 3 or more years after the
Contract date under the Supplemental Life Annuity Option (see Annuity Options
Under the VIP-86 Contract, page 23), there will be no sales charge deducted. If
an annuity is effected under one of the other annuity options under the VIP-86
Contract, the sales charge will be determined as described in the above table.
Under the QVIP-84 Contract, if an annuity is effected at any time after the
Contract date under the Supplemental Life Annuity Option (see Annuity Options
Under the WVQ-83 and QVIP-84 Contracts, page 23), there will be no sales charge
deducted. If an annuity is effected under one of the other annuity options under
the QVIP-84 Contract less than 3 years after the Contract date, the sales charge
will be determined as described in the above table. However, if an annuity is
effected under one of such other annuity options (excluding the Annuity Certain
Option) 3 or more years after the Contract date, the sales charge will be 4%
less than each percentage shown in the above table (the sales charge applied to
a withdrawal to effect the Annuity Certain Option will be determined as
described in the above table).
Under the WVQ-83 Contract, if an annuity is effected at any time after the
Contract date under the Supplemental Life Annuity Option (see Annuity Options
Under the WVQ-83 and QVIP-84 Contracts, page 23), there will be no sales charge
deducted. If an annuity is effected under one of the other annuity options under
the WVQ-83 Contract less than 3 years after the Contract date, the sales charge
will be determined as described in the above table. However, if an annuity is
effected under one of such other annuity options (excluding the Annuity Certain
Option) 3 or more years after the Contract date, there will be no sales charge
deducted (the sales charge applied to a withdrawal to effect the Annuity Certain
Option will be determined as described in the above table).
An annuity is effected by applying the annuity purchase rates set forth in your
Contract to the amount credited to your Contract fund--less any applicable sales
charge, recapture of additional amounts (see Recapture of Additional Amounts,
below), premium tax (see Premium Taxes, page 15), and annual maintenance charge
(see Annual Maintenance Charge, below)--on the date the annuity is effected. The
amount of the annuity payments that you will receive monthly will depend upon
the form of the annuity you select and, for a variable annuity, upon the
investment performance of the subaccount or subaccounts in which the assets are
held. See EFFECTING AN ANNUITY, page 22.
3. Recapture of Additional Amounts. If you make a withdrawal which consists
partially or wholly of purchase payments, The Prudential may recapture the
additional amounts that were credited to your Contract fund. If the duration
from the start of the Contract year in which a purchase payment was made to the
start of the Contract year of withdrawal is less than 8 years (except as
provided in the following paragraph, this includes withdrawals made for the
purpose of applying some or all of the Contract fund to effect an annuity), The
Prudential will recapture the additional amounts originally credited upon the
portion of the purchase payments being withdrawn. If the duration from the start
of the Contract year of purchase payment to the start of the Contract year of
17
<PAGE>
withdrawal is eight years or more, the additional amounts credited will not be
recaptured. For example, suppose you make an initial purchase payment of $1,000
for which you receive a credit of 1% or $10. In the second year you make an
additional payment of $2,400, and receive an additional credit of $24. In the
fifth Contract year you request a partial withdrawal of $1,600. On the date of
the withdrawal, the value of your Contract fund is $3,900, which includes $466
of earnings. Thus the requested withdrawal represents a withdrawal of $1,134 of
purchase payments. Because $1,134 of purchase payments is being withdrawn and
the duration from the start of the Contract years of these purchase payments to
the Contract year of withdrawal is less than 8 years, the portion of the
additional amounts recaptured will be $11.34 (1% of $1,134).
The Prudential will not recapture additional amounts paid on any purchase
payment[s] withdrawn where surrender charges have been waived due to confinement
in a nursing home or hospital, or due to a terminal illness. See Sales Charges
on Withdrawals, page 16.
The Prudential will not recapture additional amounts paid on any purchase
payment[s] withdrawn, if such withdrawal is used to effect an annuity that is
not subject to a sales charge or is subject to a reduced sales charge. Such
annuity must be effected 1 or more years after the Contract date (3 or more
years after the Contract date under the VIP-86 Contract.) See Sales Charges on
Withdrawals, page 16.
4. Annual Maintenance Charge. Currently, an annual maintenance charge of up to
$30 will be deducted if and only if the Contract fund is less than $10,000 on a
Contract anniversary or at the time a full withdrawal is effected. This charge
is intended to compensate The Prudential for administering the Account,
maintaining records, and preparing and distributing annual reports and an annual
statement of your Contract fund. This $30 fee will not be charged if the
Contract fund is less than $10,000 as a result of a withdrawal due to
confinement in a nursing home or hospital, or due to a terminal illness, as
applied under the Waiver of Withdrawal Charges endorsement. See Sales Charges on
Withdrawals, page 16. In addition, this charge is not made after annuitization
and may not be increased by The Prudential. See Valuation of Contract Owner's
Contract Fund, page 15.
5. Charge for Assuming Mortality and Expense Risks. A deduction is made daily
from each subaccount at an annual rate of up to 1.2% of the assets held in the
subaccount. This charge may not be increased by The Prudential. Of this amount,
one-third, up to 0.4%, is for assuming the risk that the charges made under the
Contracts may not cover inflation-increased expenses, and two-thirds, up to
0.8%, is for assuming mortality risks. The mortality risk assumed by The
Prudential is the risk that annuity payments under a selected annuity option
(see EFFECTING AN ANNUITY, page 22) may continue for a longer period than
anticipated under the life expectancy tables and schedule of annuity rates in
effect when the Contract was issued. The charges for mortality and expense risks
will continue throughout the period of any variable annuity selected (including
a variable annuity certain, even though The Prudential no longer bears any
mortality risk under such a Contract). This charge is not assessed against
amounts allocated to the fixed-rate option or after a fixed dollar annuity is
effected.
To the extent that the charge for these risks exceeds the actual cost of
expenses and benefits, The Prudential will realize a gain. These proceeds will
become part of The Prudential's general account and will be available to cover
any deficiency to the extent to which deferred sales charges cover sales
expenses under the Contracts.
6. Expenses Incurred by the Series Fund. The charges and expenses of the Series
Fund, net of reimbursements, are indirectly borne by the Contract owners.
Investment management fees for the available Series Fund portfolios are briefly
described under The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. on page 11. Further detail
about management fees and other Series Fund expenses is provided in the attached
prospectus for the Series Fund and its statement of additional information.
THE FIXED-RATE OPTION
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the fixed-rate
option under the Contract have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933 and the general account has not been registered as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, interests in the
fixed-rate option are not subject to the provisions of these Acts, and The
Prudential has been advised that the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the
fixed-rate option. Disclosure regarding the fixed-rate option may, however, be
subject to certain generally applicable provisions of federal securities laws
relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
As explained earlier, a Contract owner may elect to allocate, either initially
or by transfer, all or part of the amount credited under the Contract to a
fixed-rate option, and the amount so allocated or transferred becomes part of
The Prudential's general assets. Sometimes this is referred to as The
Prudential's general account, which consists of all assets owned by The
Prudential other than those in the Account and in other separate accounts that
have been or may be established by The Prudential. Subject to applicable law,
The Prudential has sole discretion over the investment of the assets of the
general account, and Contract owners do not share in the investment experience
18
<PAGE>
of those assets. Instead, The Prudential guarantees that the part of the
Contract fund allocated to the fixed-rate option will accrue interest daily at
an effective annual rate that The Prudential declares periodically, but not less
than an effective annual rate of 3%. Currently, declared interest rates remain
in effect from the date money is allocated to the fixed-rate option until the
same date in the following year. Thereafter, a new crediting rate will be
declared each year, and will remain in effect for at least the calendar year, so
long as required by applicable law. The Prudential reserves the right to change
this practice. The Prudential is not obligated to credit interest at higher rate
than 3%, although in its sole discretion it may do so. Different crediting rates
may be declared for different portions of the Contract fund allocated to the
fixed-rate option. On request, a Contract owner will be advised of the interest
rates that currently apply to his or her Contract.
Transfers from the fixed-rated option are subject to strict limits. See
Transfers, page 13.
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
No tax is payable by any Contract owner as a result of any increase in the value
of his or her Contract fund until money is received by him or her, either in the
form of a withdrawal or an annuity. It is important, however, to consider how
amounts that are withdrawn or received as annuity payments will be taxed. The
following discussion of these points is general in nature. It is not intended as
tax advice. Nor does it consider any applicable state or other tax laws. A
qualified tax advisor should be consulted for complete information and advice.
The following discussion assumes that the Contract will be treated as an annuity
contract for Federal income tax purposes. Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code") provides that the underlying investments for a variable
annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements. For further detail on
diversification requirements, see DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES in the
attached prospectus for the Series Fund. The Prudential believes the underlying
variable investment options for the Contract meet these diversification
requirements. In connection with the issuance of temporary regulations relating
to diversification requirements under Section 817(h), the Treasury Department
announced that such regulations do not provide guidance concerning the extent to
which Contract owners may direct their investments to particular divisions of a
separate account. Such guidance will be included in regulations or revenue
rulings under Section 817(d) relating to the definition of a variable contract.
Because of this uncertainty, The Prudential reserves the right to make such
changes as it deems necessary to assure that the Contract continues to qualify
as an annuity for tax purposes. Any such changes will apply uniformly to
affected Contract owners and will be made with such notice to affected Contract
owners as is feasible under the circumstances.
Taxes on The Prudential. Although the Account is registered as an investment
company, it is not a separate taxpayer for purposes of the Code. The earnings of
the Account are taxed as part of the operations of The Prudential. Under the
current provisions of the Code, The Prudential does not expect to incur federal
income taxes on earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited
under the Contract. Based on this, no charge is being made currently against the
Account for company federal income taxes. The Prudential will review the
question of a charge to the Account for company federal income taxes
periodically. Such a charge may be made in future years for any federal income
taxes that would be attributable to the Contract.
Under current law, The Prudential may incur state and local taxes (in addition
to premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant
and they are not charged against the Contract or the Account. If there is a
material change in applicable state or local tax laws, the imposition of any
such taxes upon The Prudential that are attributable to the Account may result
in a corresponding charge against the Account.
Retirement Arrangements Using the Contract. The provisions of the Code that
apply to retirement programs are complex, and the tax rules vary according to
the type of plan and its terms and conditions. Accordingly, this prospectus
provides only general information about the types of arrangements in connection
with which the Contracts may be used. You should consult a qualified tax advisor
before purchasing a Contract, particularly if you contemplate making withdrawals
from your Contract fund before annuity payments commence. Withdrawals may be
subject to income tax consequences, including tax penalties.
In general, assuming that you adhere to the requirements and limitations of the
Code provisions applicable to the type of retirement arrangement in which you
are participating, purchase payments (other than after-tax employee payments)
under the Contract will be deductible (or not includible in your income) up to
certain amounts each year. Under the retirement programs with which the
Contracts may be used, federal income tax currently is not imposed upon the
investment income and realized gains of the subaccounts in which your purchase
payments have been invested until a distribution is received. When a
distribution is received, either as a lump sum or an annuity, all or a portion
of the distribution is normally taxable as ordinary income. In some cases, the
tax on lump-sum distributions may be limited by a special income-averaging rule.
19
<PAGE>
Unless you elect to the contrary, any amounts that are received under your
Contract (except for Contracts issued in connection with plans that are subject
to Section 457 of the Code--see Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans of State
or Local Governments and Tax Exempt Organizations, page 21) that The Prudential
reasonably believes are includible in gross income for tax purposes will be
subject to withholding to meet federal income tax obligations. Certain
distributions from qualified retirement plans and 403(b) annuities will be
subject to mandatory 20% withholding unless the distribution is an eligible
rollover distribution that is "directly" rolled over into another qualified
plan, 403(b) annuity or IRA. The rate of withholding on periodic annuity
payments where mandatory withholding is not required will be determined on the
basis of the withholding certificate you may file with The Prudential. For
payments not subject to mandatory withholding, if you do not file such a
certificate and you will be receiving periodic annuity payments, you shall be
treated, for purposes of determining your withholding rate, as a married person
with three exemptions; the rate of withholding on all other payments under your
Contract, such as withdrawals, will be 10%. Thus, in the absence of an election
by you that The Prudential should not do so, it will withhold from every
withdrawal or annuity payment the appropriate percentage of the amount of the
payment that The Prudential reasonably believes is includible in gross income.
The Prudential will provide forms and instructions concerning the right to elect
that no amount be withheld from payments. Generally there will be no withholding
for taxes until payments are actually received under your Contract.
Recipients, including those who have elected out of withholding, must supply
their Taxpayer Identification Number (Social Security Number) to payers of
distributions for tax reporting purposes. Failure to furnish this number when
required may result in the imposition of a tax penalty and will subject the
distribution to the withholding requirements of the law described above.
The comments which follow concerning specific tax favored plans are intended
merely to call attention to certain of their features. No attempt has been made
to discuss in full the tax ramifications involved or to offer tax advice. As
suggested above, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted for advice and
answers to any questions.
Plans For Self-Employed Individuals. For self-employed individuals who establish
qualified plans, contributions are deductible within the limits prescribed by
the Code. Annual deductible contributions cannot exceed the lesser of $30,000 or
25% of "earned income". For this purpose "earned income" is computed after the
deduction for contributions to the plan is considered.
Under such tax qualified plans, payments generally may not begin before
Participants attain age 59 1/2 (except in the event of total disability or
death, if authorized by the plan). Payments must begin by April 1 of the year
following attainment of age 70 1/2 and are subject to certain minimum
distribution requirements. Any distribution to employees before age 59 1/2 may
result in certain tax penalties.
IRAs. For persons who establish IRAs, the annual contribution limit is the
lesser of (1) $2,000, or (2) 100% of earned income. For an IRA arrangement that
includes a non-working spouse, total contributions may not exceed the lesser of
(1) $2,250, or (2) 100% of earned income. In this situation, separate
accumulation accounts are maintained for the husband and wife. Also, the
contribution for either the husband's or wife's IRA may not exceed $2,000.
Generally, annuity payments may not begin before attainment of age 59 1/2
(except in the event of total disability or death), but distributions must begin
by April 1 of the year following attainment of age 70 1/2 and are subject to
certain minimum distribution requirements. Certain penalties may result if the
contribution or age limitations are exceeded.
Deductions for IRA contributions in those cases where an individual or an
individual's spouse is an active participant in an employer sponsored pension
plan, SEP or Section 403(b) annuity are limited to individuals whose adjusted
gross income is less than certain specified amounts.
For married individuals who file a joint tax return, a full deduction will be
available if adjusted gross income is $40,000 or less. For a single individual,
the limit is $25,000. Partial deductions for IRA contributions will be available
for married, joint filers who have adjusted gross income of more than $40,000
and less than $50,000 and single individuals whose adjusted gross income is less
than $35,000.
Simplified Employee Pension Plans ("SEPs"). Under this arrangement, annual
employer contributions to an IRA established by an employee are not includible
in income up to the lesser of $30,000 or 15% of the employee's earned income
(excluding the employer's contribution to the SEP). As with the regular IRA,
generally, annuity payments to the Participant may not begin before attainment
of age 59 1/2 (except in the event of total disability or death) but
distributions must begin by April 1 of the year following attainment of age
70 1/2 and are subject to certain minimum distribution requirements. Certain
penalties may result if the contribution or age limitations are exceeded.
Certain SEP arrangements are permitted to allow employees to elect to reduce
their salaries by as much as $9,240 (in 1994, indexed annually) and have their
employer make contributions on their behalf to the SEP. These arrangements,
called salary reduction SEPs, are available only if the employer maintaining the
SEP has 25 or fewer
20
<PAGE>
employees and at least 50% of the eligible employees elect to make salary
reduction contributions. Other limitations may reduce the permissible
contribution level for highly compensated employees.
In accordance with Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") Regulations, persons who
would become Participants under a Contract used with an IRA, including one
established under a SEP arrangement, are given disclosure material prepared by
The Prudential. The material includes this prospectus, a copy of the governing
instrument to be used in establishing an IRA, and a brochure containing
information about eligibility, contribution limits, tax consequences, and other
particulars concerning IRAs. The regulations require that such persons be given
seven days after making an initial contribution in which to affirm or reverse
their decision to participate. Therefore, within 7 days after sending the
initial contribution to The Prudential under a Contract used with an IRA, a
Participant may cancel his or her participation under that Contract by notifying
The Prudential in writing, and The Prudential will refund all of the
contributions under the Contract or, if greater, the amount credited to the
accumulation accounts under the Contract computed as of the business day that
The Prudential receives the notice of cancellation. This 7-day period may or may
not coincide with any part of the 10-day free look period described under
Short-Term Cancellation Right or "Free Look", page 12.
Section 403(b) Annuities. Section 403(b) of the Code permits employers and
employees of Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations and public educational
organizations to make, subject to certain limitations, contributions to an
annuity in which the employee's rights are nonforfeitable (commonly referred to
as a "tax-deferred annuity" or "TDA"). The amounts contributed under a TDA and
increments thereon are not taxable as income until distributed as annuity income
or otherwise. Generally, contributions to a TDA may be made through a salary
reduction arrangement up to a maximum of $9,500. However, under certain special
rules, the limit could be increased as much as $3,000. In addition, the Code
permits certain total distributions from a TDA to be "rolled over" to another
TDA or IRA. Certain partial distributions from a TDA may be "rolled over" to an
IRA.
An annuity contract will not qualify as a TDA, unless under such contract
distributions from salary reduction contributions and earnings thereon (other
than distributions attributable to assets held as of December 31, 1988) may be
paid only on account of attainment of age 59 1/2, severance of employment,
death, total and permanent disability and, in limited circumstances, hardship.
(Such hardship withdrawals are permitted, however, only to the extent of salary
reduction contributions and not earnings thereon).
The Section 403(b)(11) withdrawal restrictions do not apply to the transfer of
all or part of a Contract owner's interest in his or her Contract among the
available investment options offered by The Prudential or to the direct transfer
of all or part of the Contract owner's interest in the Contract to a Section
403(b) tax-deferred annuity contract of another insurance company or to a mutual
fund custodial account under Section 403(b)(7).
In imposing the restrictions on withdrawals as described above, The Prudential
is relying upon a non-action letter dated November 28, 1988 from the Chief of
the Office of Insurance Products and Legal Compliance of the Securities and
Exchange Commission to the American Council of Life Insurance.
Employer contributions are subject generally to the same coverage, minimum
participation and nondiscrimination rules applicable to qualified pension and
profit-sharing plans. Distributions from a TDA attributable to benefits accruing
after December 31, 1986 must commence by April 1 of the calendar year following
the year in which an employee attains age 70 1/2. However, for governmental and
church plans, distributions may be delayed until April 1 of the calendar year
following the calendar year the participant retires if that is later.
Distributions must satisfy minimum distribution requirements similar to those
that apply to qualified plans generally.
Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans of State or Local Governments and Tax
Exempt Organizations. The amounts contributed under these plans and increments
thereon are not taxable as income until distributed or otherwise made available
to the employee or other beneficiary. If the requirements of Section 457 of the
Code are not met, however, employees may be required to include in gross income
all or part of the contributions and earnings thereon. The assets of deferred
compensation plans are part of the employer's general assets. Contributions
generally may not exceed the lesser of $7,500 or 33 1/3% of the employee's
compensation. Distributions must begin by April 1 following attainment of age
70 1/2. However, for governmental or church plans distributions may be delayed
until April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year the participant
retires, if that is later. Distributions are subject to special minimum
distribution rules.
A distribution to a Participant covered under an eligible deferred compensation
plan subject to Section 457 of the Code is treated as payment of wages for
federal income tax purposes and thus subject to general withholding
requirements.
Minimum Distribution Option. The Minimum Distribution Option is a program
available with IRA and SEP programs. It enables the client to satisfy IRS
minimum distribution requirements, without having to annuitize or cash surrender
their Contracts. Distributions from IRAs and SEPs must begin by April 1 of the
year following attainment of age 70 1/2. Each year until the maturity date, The
Prudential will recalculate the minimum amount that you are required to withdraw
from your IRA or SEP. We will send you a check for the minimum distribution
amount less any partial
21
<PAGE>
withdrawals made during the year. Our calculations are based solely on the cash
value of the Contract on the last day of the prior calendar year. If you have
other IRA accounts you will be responsible for taking the minimum distribution
from each.
Penalty For Early Withdrawals. A 10% penalty tax will generally apply to the
taxable part of distributions received from an IRA, SEP, Section 403(b) annuity,
and qualified retirement plans before age 59 1/2. Limited exceptions are
provided, such as where amounts are paid in the form of a qualified life
annuity, upon death of the employee or in certain instances disability or upon
separation from service on or after the attainment of age 55.
ERISA Disclosure. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
prevents a fiduciary with respect to a pension or profit-sharing plan from
receiving any benefit from any party dealing with the plan as a result of the
sale of the Contract (other than benefits that would otherwise be provided in
the plan).
Administrative exemptions issued by the IRS and the Department of Labor under
ERISA permit transactions between insurance agents and qualified pension and
profit sharing plans under sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code and with SEP
IRAs. To be able to rely on the exemption certain information must be disclosed
to the plan fiduciary. The information that must be disclosed includes the
relationship between the agent and the insurer, any charges, fees, discounts,
penalties or adjustments that may be imposed in connection with the purchase,
holding, exchange or termination of the Contract, as well as the commissions
received by the agent. Information about any applicable charges, fees,
discounts, penalties or adjustments may be found under CHARGES, FEES AND
DEDUCTIONS, page 15. Information about sales representatives and commissions may
be found under Sale of the Contract and Sales Commissions, page 25. In addition
to disclosure, other conditions apply to the use of the exemption. For example,
a plan fiduciary may not be a partner or employee of the Prudential
representative making the sale. The fiduciary must not be a relative of the
representative (including spouse, direct descendant, spouse of a direct
descendant, ancestor, brother, sister, spouse of a brother or sister). The
representative may not be an employee, officer, director or partner of either
the independent fiduciary or the employer establishing the plan. No relative of
the representative may: (1) control, directly or indirectly, the corporation
establishing or maintaining the plan; (2) be either a partner with a 10% or more
interest in the partnership or the sole proprietor establishing or maintaining
the plan; or (3) be an owner of a 5% or more interest in a Subchapter S
Corporation establishing or maintaining the plan. In addition, no affiliate
(including relatives) of the representative may be a trustee, administrator or a
fiduciary with written authority to acquire, manage or dispose of the assets of
the plan.
EFFECTING AN ANNUITY
Subject to the provisions of the retirement plan that covers you, you may at any
time on or before the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or
otherwise next following your 75th birthday (80th birthday under the VIP-86
Contract) convert your Contract fund into a fixed dollar annuity payable to the
annuitant under one or more of the forms of annuity described below. At The
Prudential's discretion, this conversion may take place at a later date. Except
for an annuity selected under the Supplemental Life Annuity Option, WVQ-83 and
QVIP-84 Contract owners may select a variable annuity instead of or in addition
to a fixed dollar annuity. The Prudential will then make monthly payments to the
annuitant on the first day of each month for a period determined by the form[s]
of annuity you select. You must convert the entire value of your Contract fund
to an annuity, or to an annuity and a cash withdrawal if your retirement plan
permits. If your Contract fund is not large enough to produce an initial payment
of $20 ($50 under VIP-86 Contracts), you will be paid the amount of your
Contract fund in a single sum. Annuity payments will not be assignable by you or
subject to the claims of creditors. The annuity is effected on the first day of
the month following receipt by The Prudential of proper written notice that you
have elected to convert your Contract fund to an annuity, or on the first day of
any subsequent month that you designate. The first monthly annuity payment will
be made on the date the annuity is effected.
The Contract includes schedules that are used to determine the amount of the
first monthly variable and/or fixed-dollar annuity payment that will be provided
by the amount credited to your Contract fund (the VIP-86 Contract provides a
schedule only for a Life Annuity with 120 Payments Certain Option; however other
forms of annuity are available under the Supplemental Life Annuity Option). The
amount varies with the form of annuity selected. For life annuities, the amount
also varies with the age of the annuitant (and spouse, if the Joint and Survivor
Annuity Option is chosen) and the date when annuity payments begin. Also, if The
Prudential is offering more favorable rates than is set forth in the table of
rates in the Contract, then those will be used. For a variable annuity,
subsequent monthly payments will vary in accordance with the investment results
of the subaccount[s] you have selected. Page C1 of the statement of additional
information explains in more detail how your Contract fund is converted into a
variable annuity. For a fixed-dollar annuity, subsequent monthly payments will
always be at least equal to the first monthly payment.
22
<PAGE>
In order to permit employers to comply with a decision rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States (Arizona Governing Committee vs. Norris), the annuity
purchase rates for Contracts issued on and after August 1, 1983 do not vary with
the sex of the annuitant.
Under certain types of retirement arrangements, the Retirement Equity Act of
1984 provides that, in the case of a married Participant, the election of an
annuity payout which is not a joint and 50% survivor annuity payable to the
spouse must include the consent of the Participant's spouse. This consent must
contain the Participant's signature and the notarized or properly witnessed
signature of the Participant's spouse. These spousal consent requirements were
generally effective beginning January 1, 1985 and apply to married Participants
in most qualified pension plans including plans in which self-employed
individuals participate, and those Section 403(b) annuities which are considered
employee pension benefit plans under ERISA.
Annuity Options Under the VIP-86 Contract. If you are the owner of a VIP-86
Contract, you may select any of the annuity options described below. Unlike many
variable annuity contracts, the VIP-86 Contract does not provide an option for a
variable payout during the annuity or payout period. All the annuity options
under this Contract are fixed annuity options under which the Contract owner's
participation in the Account's investment experience ceases when the annuity is
effected, and the amount of each monthly payment does not change.
In electing to have an annuity purchased, you may select from the forms of
annuity described below, subject to the retirement arrangement that covers you.
Under each, annuity payments will be monthly installments of a guaranteed
amount. If you do not select an annuity option to take effect by the annuity
date stated in your Contract (which will not be later than the annuitant's 80th
birthday) the Interest Payment Option (see below) will become effective then.
1. Life Annuity with 120 Payments Certain. Payments will be made to the
annuitant monthly during his or her lifetime. If the annuitant dies before the
120th monthly payment is due, monthly annuity payments do not continue to the
beneficiary you designate unless you so select. Instead, the discounted value of
the remaining unpaid installments, to and including the 120th monthly payment,
is payable to the beneficiary in one sum. In calculating the discounted value of
the unpaid future payments, The Prudential will discount each such payment at
the interest rate used to compute the amount of the actual 120 payments. If the
payments were based on the tables of rates set forth in the Contract, the
interest rate used is 3.5% a year.
2. Interest Payment Option. You may choose to have The Prudential hold a
designated amount for you at interest. The Prudential will pay interest at an
effective rate of at least 3% a year, and it may pay a higher rate of interest.
3. Supplemental Life Annuity. You may choose to receive the proceeds of your
Contract fund in the form of payments like those of any annuity or life annuity
then regularly offered by The Prudential or by Pruco Life Insurance Company that
(1) is based on United States Currency; (2) is bought by a single sum; (3) does
not provide for dividends; and (4) does not normally provide for deferral of the
first payment. The Prudential currently offers a number of different annuity
options including joint and survivor annuities covering more than one person.
Annuity Options Under the WVQ-83 and QVIP-84 Contracts If you own a WVQ-83
Contract or a QVIP-84 Contract, the following provisions apply to you. You have
considerable flexibility in selecting an annuity: (1) you may select either a
fixed-dollar or variable annuity (a variable annuity is not available under the
Supplemental Life Annuity Option described in item 5 below) or both; (2) you may
select more than one annuity option; and (3) if you select a variable annuity,
you may apply the value of your Variable Account to only one or to two or more
subaccounts, and not necessarily the same distribution as you used before
selecting an annuity. However, the initial minimum monthly payment amount will
be applicable to each payee, each annuity, and each subaccount selected.
If you are covered under a tax-deferred annuity subject to Section 403(b) of the
Code and do not elect to effect an annuity before the date described in the
endorsement to your Contract with respect to pre-1987 benefit accruals, a
variable life annuity with 120 payments certain (see below) will be purchased
for you on the first day of the month following such date. If any tax-deferred
annuity Contract owner (with respect to post-1986 benefit accruals) or any other
Contract owner has not elected to purchase an annuity before the end of his tax
year in which such an election is required by or for the retirement arrangement
under which he is covered, a variable life annuity with 120 payments certain,
payable as described in item 2 below, will be purchased for him on the first day
of the month preceding the end of such tax year, unless a joint and survivor
annuity pay-out is required by ERISA, in which case a variable joint and
survivor annuity, payable as described in item 3 below, will be purchased for
him.
Except as provided in the Annuity Certain Option described in item 4 below, and
under certain forms of annuity available under the Supplemental Life Annuity
Option described in item 5 below, once annuity payments begin, the annuitant
cannot surrender the annuity benefit and receive a one-sum payment in lieu
thereof. However, as described under Transfers, page 13, if a variable annuity
is selected, the annuitant may transfer the annuity funds between subaccounts up
to four times each Contract year.
23
<PAGE>
Additionally, an annuitant who is receiving a variable annuity may convert all
or a part of the variable annuity to a fixed-dollar annuity, provided: (1) the
fixed-dollar annuity is the same form of annuity as the variable annuity and has
the same certain or specified period as remained under the variable annuity on
the conversion date, (2) the present value on the conversion date of the
variable annuity, or portion of the variable annuity to be converted, calculated
in accordance with the Contract, must produce a monthly payment of at least $20
under the fixed-dollar annuity, and (3) if only a portion of the variable
annuity is converted, the Subaccount Annuity Units remaining in the unconverted
portion must be sufficient to produce a monthly payment of at least $20 on the
conversion date.
After annuity payments begin, conversion may not be made from a fixed-dollar
annuity to a variable annuity.
The forms of annuity from which you may select are listed below. Under each, (1)
variable annuity payments can be expected to vary from month to month according
to the investment experience of the portfolio or portfolios in which your
account is invested, or (2) fixed-dollar annuity payments will be in monthly
installments of a guaranteed amount. For the reason explained on page C1 of the
statement of additional information, if the assets of the subaccount[s] which
you have selected do not earn an investment return of 4.7% a year, the amount of
payments under a variable annuity will decrease; conversely, if the assets of
the subaccount[s] which you have selected earn an investment return of more than
4.7% a year, variable annuity payments will increase. If you choose to convert
your Variable Account into an annuity but fail to select one or more of the
annuity options, we will provide the annuitant with a variable life annuity with
120 payments certain.
1. Life Annuity. Payments will be made to the annuitant monthly during his or
her lifetime and will cease with the last monthly payment before his or her
death. Should the annuitant die within a few years after payments begin, his or
her total payments will probably be substantially less than the value of your
Variable Account when annuity payments first began, and he or she could receive
as little as one payment under this form of annuity.
2. Life Annuity with 120 Payments Certain. Payments will be made to the
annuitant monthly during his or her lifetime. If the annuitant dies before the
120th monthly payment is due, monthly annuity payments do not continue to the
beneficiary you designate unless you so select. Instead, the discounted value of
the remaining unpaid installments, to and including the 120th monthly payment,
is payable to the beneficiary in one sum. In calculating the discounted value of
the unpaid future payments, we will discount each such payment at an interest
rate of 3.5% a year. The monthly payments under this form of annuity will be
slightly lower than those payable under the life annuity described above.
3. Joint and Survivor Annuity. Payments will be made to the annuitant monthly
during his or her lifetime and, if the annuitant's spouse is living at the time
of the annuitant's death, to the spouse until his or her death. The monthly
payments to the spouse will be equal to those that would have been received by
the annuitant if he or she had survived, unless a different amount is required
under any applicable law or regulation or by the terms of a plan, including
joint and 50% spouse survivor annuity. Monthly payments under this form of
annuity will be less than the payments under either of the forms described
above.
4. Annuity Certain. Payments will be made to the annuitant monthly for a period
of 60, 120, 180 or 240 months. During this period, the annuitant may elect to
receive a lump sum payment in lieu of the remaining monthly payments or to
receive a partial lump sum payment with reduced monthly payments thereafter. Any
partial lump sum payment must be $300 or more. Also, the initial reduced monthly
payment must equal or exceed $20. If the annuitant dies during the
annuity-certain period, monthly payments will not continue to the beneficiary
you designate unless you so select. Instead, the beneficiary will receive a lump
sum payment. The amount of the lump sum payment (or partial lump sum payment) is
determined by discounting each remaining unpaid monthly payment (or the amount
by which each remaining monthly payment is reduced as a result of a partial lump
sum payment) at an interest rate of 3.5% a year. This will be paid to the
annuitant or the beneficiary, whichever is applicable.
5. Supplemental Life Annuity. Fixed-dollar annuity payments will be provided as
described in item 3 under Annuity Options Under the VIP-86 Contract, page 23.
OTHER INFORMATION
Voting Rights. As stated above, all of the assets held in the subaccounts of the
Account will be invested in shares of the corresponding portfolios of the Series
Fund. The Prudential is the legal owner of those shares and as such has the
right to vote on any matter voted on at Series Fund shareholders meetings.
However, The Prudential will, as required by law, vote the shares of the Series
Fund at any regular and special shareholders meetings it is required to hold in
accordance with voting instructions received from Contract owners. The Series
Fund will not hold annual shareholders meetings when not required to do so under
Maryland law or the Investment Company Act of 1940. Series Fund shares for which
no timely instructions from Contract owners are received, and any shares
attributable to general account investments of The Prudential will be voted in
the same proportion as shares in the respective portfolios for which
instructions are received. Should the applicable federal securities laws or
24
<PAGE>
regulations, or their current interpretation, change so as to permit The
Prudential to vote shares of the Series Fund in its own right, it may elect to
do so.
Matters on which Contract owners may give voting instructions include the
following: (1) election of the Board of Directors of the Series Fund; (2)
ratification of the independent accountant of the Series Fund; (3) approval of
the investment advisory agreement for a portfolio of the Series Fund
corresponding to the Contract owner's selected subaccount[s]; (4) any change in
the fundamental investment policy of a portfolio corresponding to the Contract
owner's selected subaccount[s]; and (5) any other matter requiring a vote of the
shareholders of the Series Fund. With respect to approval of the investment
advisory agreement or any change in a portfolio's fundamental investment policy,
Contract owners participating in such portfolios will vote separately on the
matter, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act.
The number of Series Fund shares for which instructions may be given by a
Contract owner is determined by dividing the portion of the value of the
Contract derived from participation in a subaccount, by the value of one share
in the corresponding portfolio of the Series Fund. The number of votes for which
each Contract owner may give The Prudential instructions will be determined as
of the record date chosen by the Board of Directors of the Series Fund. The
Prudential will furnish Contract owners with proper forms and proxies to enable
them to give these instructions. The Prudential reserves the right to modify the
manner in which the weight to be given voting instructions is calculated where
such a change is necessary to comply with current federal regulations or
interpretations of those regulations. WVQ-83 and QVIP-84 Contract owners who
elect to receive a variable annuity option will continue to have voting rights
during their payout period. Their number of votes will be determined in the same
manner as described above, but will decrease throughout the payout period.
Contract owners also share with the owners of all Prudential contracts and
policies the right to vote in elections for members of the Board of Directors of
The Prudential.
Sale of the Contract and Sales Commissions. Pruco Securities Corporation
("Prusec"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential, acts as the
principal underwriter of the Contract. Prusec, organized in 1971 under New
Jersey law, is registered as a broker and dealer under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. Prusec's principal business address is 1111 Durham Avenue, South
Plainfield, New Jersey 07080. The Contract is sold by registered representatives
of Prusec who are also authorized by state insurance departments to do so. The
Contract may also be sold through other broker-dealers authorized by Prusec and
applicable law to do so. Registered representatives of such other broker-dealers
may be paid on a different basis than described below. Commissions of 3% to the
selling representative and a 0.6% management override will be paid on the first
$2,000 of purchase payments per Contract and commissions of 2.25% to the selling
representative and a 0.4% management override will be paid on all purchase
payments thereafter. Such commissions may not be payable, however, where a
Contract owner has surrendered an existing contract of The Prudential or its
subsidiaries to purchase the Contract. Representatives who meet certain
productivity, profitability, and persistency standards with regard to the sale
of the Contract will be eligible for additional compensation.
Sales expenses in any year are not equal to the deduction for sales load in that
year. The Prudential expects to recover its total sales expenses over the
periods the Contracts are in effect. To the extent that the sales charges are
insufficient to cover total sales expenses, the sales expenses will be recovered
from The Prudential's surplus.
Ownership of the Contract. Ordinarily the purchaser of a Contract is both the
Contract owner and the person entitled to receive an annuity and is entitled to
exercise all the rights under the Contract. Ownership of the Contract may,
however, be held by another person who need not be the person who is to receive
annuity payments. This is frequently the case with respect to Contracts issued
in connection with qualified retirement plans and eligible deferred compensation
plans. Transfer of the ownership of a Contract may involve federal income tax
consequences, and you should consult with a qualified tax advisor before
attempting any such transfer. A transfer of the Contract to or the designation
of a beneficiary who is either 37 1/2 years younger than the Contract owner or a
grandchild of the Contract owner may have Generation Skipping Transfer tax
consequences under section 2601 of the Code. In addition, businesses that own a
Contract under which an employee is the annuitant may be able to change the
annuitant from one key employee to another if certain requirements are met.
Generally, ownership of the Contract is not assignable to another insurance
company without The Prudential's consent.
Performance Information. Performance information for the subaccounts may appear
in advertising and reports to current and prospective Contract owners.
Performance information is based on historical investment experience of those
investment options and does not indicate or represent future performance.
Total returns are based on the overall dollar or percentage change in value of a
hypothetical investment. Total return quotations reflect changes in unit values
and the deduction of applicable charges.
25
<PAGE>
A cumulative total return reflects performance over a stated period of time. An
average annual total return reflects the hypothetical annually compounded return
that would have produced the same cumulative total return if the performance had
been constant over the entire period.
The Money Market Subaccount may advertise its current and effective yield.
Current yield reflects the income generated by an investment in the subaccounts
over a specified seven-day period. Effective yield is calculated in a similar
manner except that income earned is assumed to be reinvested.
Reports or advertising may include comparative performance information,
including, but not limited to: comparisons to market indices; comparisons to
other investments; performance rankings; and data presented by analysts or
included in publications.
See "Performance Information" in the Statement of Additional Information for
recent performance information.
Reports to Contract Owners. Once each Contract year, Contract owners will be
sent statements that provide certain information pertinent to their own
Contract. These statements detail values and transactions made and specific
Contract data that apply only to each particular Contract. On request, a
Contract owner will be sent a current statement in a form similar to that of the
annual statement described above, but The Prudential may limit the number of
such requests or impose a reasonable charge if such requests are made too
frequently.
Each Contract owner will be sent an annual report for the Account. Contract
owners will also be sent annual and semi-annual reports of the Series Fund
showing the financial condition of the portfolios and the investments held in
each.
Substitution of Series Fund Shares. Although The Prudential believes it to be
unlikely, it is possible that in the judgment of its management, one or more of
the portfolios of the Series Fund may become unsuitable for investment by
Contract owners because of investment policy changes, tax law changes, or the
unavailability of shares for investment. In that event, The Prudential may seek
to substitute the shares of another portfolio or of an entirely different mutual
fund. Before this can be done, the approval of the SEC, and possibly one or more
state insurance departments, will be required. Contract owners will be notified
of such substitution.
Differences Under the WVQ-83 Contract. As stated in the section entitled The
Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Annuity Contract, page 2, the
descriptions of The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Annuity 2 Contract
in the preceding sections of this prospectus and on page C1 of the statement of
additional information generally apply to the VIP-86 Contract, the QVIP-84
Contract and the WVQ-83 Contract. Although differences among the three forms of
Contract have been described, additional differences between the earlier WVQ-83
Contract and the two later forms of the Contract are set forth below.
1. Sales charges on withdrawals. . .Under the WVQ-83 Contract, any amount that
you withdraw will be treated, for the purpose of determining the sales
charge, as a withdrawal of purchase payments, rather than investment
income, until you have withdrawn your aggregate purchase payments. There
will be no sales charge on amounts withdrawn after all purchase payments
have been withdrawn. For sales charge purposes, purchase payments are
deemed to be withdrawn on a first-in, first-out basis. The amount of the
sales charge will depend on the amount withdrawn and the number of Contract
years that have elapsed since you made the particular purchase payments
deemed to be withdrawn. The 10% free withdrawal privilege will be applied
toward the total amount withdrawn.
2. Determination of minimum amount payable to a beneficiary. . .Under the
WVQ-83 Contract, the minimum amount payable to the beneficiary (due to the
death of the annuitant prior to age 65 and before the annuity date) will be
equal to the total amount of purchase payments you have made, less any
withdrawals (i.e., there is no proportional reduction of the minimum amount
as is the case under the QVIP-84 Contract and the VIP-86 Contract.)
3. Modification of sentence on page C1 of the statement of additional
information. . .The second sentence in the next to last paragraph under
section B, Determination of the Amount of Monthly Variable Annuity Payment,
as it applies to the WVQ-83 Contract, is modified to read: "For example,
for a person of 65 years of age who has selected a lifetime annuity with a
guaranteed minimum of 120 payments, the applicable schedules currently
provide that 1000 Subaccount Annuity Units will result in the payment each
month of an amount equal to the value of 5.73 Subaccount Annuity Units."
4. Determination of amount of monthly variable annuity payments. . .Under the
WVQ-83 Contract, the amount of each monthly variable annuity payment made
on the first day of the month will be equal to the Subaccount Annuity Units
(determined as described on page C1 of the statement of additional
information) multiplied by the Subaccount Annuity Unit Value at the end of
that day, if a business day, or otherwise at the end of the last preceding
business day.
26
<PAGE>
State Regulation. The Prudential is subject to regulation and supervision by the
Department of Insurance of the State of New Jersey, which periodically examines
its operations and financial condition. It is also subject to the insurance laws
and regulations of all jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business.
The Prudential is required to submit annual statements of its operations,
including financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various
jurisdictions in which it does business to determine solvency and compliance
with local insurance laws and regulations.
In addition to the annual statements referred to above, The Prudential is
required to file with New Jersey and other jurisdictions a separate statement
with respect to the operations of all its variable contract accounts, in a form
promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
Litigation. No litigation is pending that would have a material effect upon the
Account or the Series Fund.
Additional Information. A registration statement has been filed with the SEC
under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940,
relating to the offering described in this prospectus. This prospectus does not
include all of the information set forth in the registration statement. Certain
portions have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The
omitted information may, however, be obtained from the SEC's principal office in
Washington, D.C., upon payment of a prescribed fee.
Further information, including the statement of additional information prepared
by The Prudential, may also be obtained from The Prudential's office. The
address and telephone number are set forth on the cover of this prospectus.

INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS
OF
THE PRUDENTIAL QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE CONTRACT ACCOUNT
The Individual Variable Annuity Contract (the "Contract") of The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account") is a variable
annuity contract issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The
Prudential"). The Contracts are designed for use in connection with retirement
arrangements that qualify for federal tax benefits under Sections 401, 403(a),
403(b), 408 or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code. Purchase payments made through
payroll deduction or similar arrangements with an employer must be at least $300
during any 12-month period. Any other purchase payment must be at least $50
($100 or $300 under a certain form of the Contract).
This statement of additional information is not a prospectus and should be read
in conjunction with the Contract's prospectus, dated May 1, 1995, which is
available without charge upon written request to The Prudential Insurance
Company of America, Prudential Plaza, Newark, New Jersey 07102-3777, or by
telephoning (800) 445-4571.

OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ACCOUNT
A. Experts. The financial statements included in the statement of additional
information and the financial statements from which the Condensed Financial
Information included in this prospectus have been derived, have been audited by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their reports
appearing herein. Such financial statements and Condensed Financial Information
have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon
their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. Deloitte & Touche LLP's
principal business address is Two Hilton Court, Parsippany, New Jersey
07054-0319.
B. Principal Underwriter. Pruco Securities Corporation ("Prusec"), an indirectly
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential, performs all sales and distribution
functions regarding the Contracts and may be deemed to be the "principal
underwriter" of the Account under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
C. Participation in Divisible Surplus. A mutual life insurance company, such as
The Prudential, differs from a stock life insurance company in that it has no
stockholders who are the owners of the enterprise. Every owner of a Prudential
Contract participates in the divisible surplus of The Prudential, according to
an annual determination of The Prudential's Board of Directors of the portion,
if any, of the divisible surplus of the entire company that is attributable to
the class of contracts of which he or she is an owner. Before annuity payments
begin it is unlikely that any dividends will be payable to the owners of the
Contracts described in the prospectus because the charges made by The Prudential
are not expected to exceed its actual expenses in distributing and administering
the Contracts. However, there may be dividends payable during an annuity payout
period.
D. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The tables that follow provide performance information for each subaccount
through December 31, 1994. The performance information is based on historical
experience and does not indicate or represent future performance. The Growth
Stock and Small Capitalization Stock Portfolios were not in operation in 1994.

Annual Average Total Return
Table 1 below shows the average annual rates of total return on hypothetical
investments of $1,000 for periods ended December 31, 1994 in each subaccount
other than the Money Market Subaccount. These figures assume withdrawal of the
investments at the end of the period other than to effect an annuity under the
Contract.

The average annual rates of total return shown above are computed by finding the
average annual compounded rates of return over the periods shown that would
equate the initial amount invested to the withdrawal value, in accordance with
the following formula: P(1+T)"- ERA. In the formula, P is a hypothetical
investment of $1,000; T is the average annual total return; " is the number of
years; and ERA is the withdrawal value at the end of the periods shown. These
figures assume deduction of the maximum deferred sales charge that may be
applicable to a particular period. The annual contract fee is included, however
it applies only if the Contract Fund is less than $10,000.

Non-Standard Total Return
Table 2 below shows the average annual rates of return as in Table 1, but
assumes that the investments are not withdrawn at the end of the period or that
the Contract owner annuitizes at the end of the period.

Money Market Subaccount Yield
The "yield" and "effective yield" of the Money Market Subaccount for the seven
days ended December 31, 1994 were 4.0226% and 4.1030%, respectively.
The yield is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital
changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of
one accumulation unit of the Money Market Subaccount at the beginning of the
period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from
contractowner accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the
subaccount at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return,
and then multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the resulting
figure carried to the nearest hundredth of 1%.
The deduction referred to above consists of the 1% charge for mortality and
expense risks and the 0.20% charge for administration. It does not reflect the
deferred sales charge. It does reflect the annual contract fee, however it will
only be charged if the Contract Fund is less than $10,000.
The effective yield is obtained by taking the base period return, adding 1,
raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the
result, according to the following formula: Effective Yield -((base period
return + 1) 365/7) - 1.
The yields on amounts held in the Money Market Subaccount will fluctuate on a
daily basis. Therefore, the stated yields for any given period are not an
indication of future yields.

THE PRUDENTIAL QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL VARIABLE CONTRACT ACCOUNT
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND DECEMBER 31, 1993
NOTE 1: GENERAL
The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account") of
The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential") was established
on October 12, 1982 by a resolution of The Prudential's Board of Directors in
conformity with insurance laws of the State of New Jersey. The assets of the
Account are segregated from The Prudential's other assets.
The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a unit investment trust. There are eleven subaccounts within the Account,
each of which invests only in a corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series
Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"). The Series Fund is a diversified open-end
management investment company, and is managed by The Prudential.
NOTE 2: INVESTMENT INFORMATION FOR THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC. PORTFOLIOS
The net asset value per share for each portfolio of the Series Fund, the number
of shares of each portfolio held by the subaccounts of the Account and the
aggregate cost of investments in such shares at December 31, 1994 were as

NOTE 3: CHARGES AND EXPENSES
A. Mortality Risk and Expense Risk Charges
The mortality risk and expense risk charges at effective annual rates of
0.8% and 0.4%, respectively (for a total of 1.2% per year), are applied
daily against the net assets representing equity of Contract owners and
annuitants held in each subaccount.
B. Deferred Sales Charge
A deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawal of certain purchase
payments to compensate The Prudential for sales and other marketing
expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the amount withdrawn
and the number of Contract years that have elapsed since the Contract owner
or annuitant made the purchase payments deemed to be withdrawn. No sales
charge is made against the
A7
<PAGE>
withdrawal of investment income. A reduced sales charge is imposed in
connection with the withdrawal of a purchase payment to effect an annuity if
three or more Contract years have elapsed since the Contract date, unless
the annuity effected is an annuity certain. No sales charge is imposed upon
death benefit payments or upon transfers made between subaccounts.
C. Annual Maintenance Charge
An annual maintenance charge of $30 will be deducted if and only if the
Contract fund is less than $10,000 on a Contract anniversary or at the time
a full withdrawal is effected, including a withdrawal to effect an annuity.
The charge is made by reducing accumulation units credited to a Contract
owner's account.
NOTE 4: TAXES
The operations of the subaccounts form a part of, and are taxed with, the
operations of The Prudential. Under the Internal Revenue Code, all ordinary
income and capital gains allocated to the Contract owners and annuitants are not
taxed to The Prudential. As a result, the unit values of the subaccounts are not
affected by federal income taxes on distributions received by the subaccounts.
NOTE 5: ACCUMULATION UNIT TRANSACTIONS
The number of Accumulation Units purchased and withdrawn (throughout the periods
indicated) was as follows:

NOTE 8: RESTATEMENT
Subsequent to the issuance of the Account's previously issued December 31, 1993
financial statements, The Prudential determined that in the High Yield Bond
subaccount, net assets and net increase in net assets resulting from operations
were overstated by approximately $271,764 due to the overvaluation of a security
held in the High Yield Bond Portfolio of the Series Fund at December 31, 1993.
Accordingly, the comparative 1993 financial information included in the
statements of changes in net assets of the Account has been restated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Contract Owners of
The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract
Account and the Board of Directors
of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
Newark, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account of The Prudential Insurance
Company of America (comprising, respectively, the Money Market, Bond, Common
Stock, Aggressively Managed Flexible, Conservatively Managed Flexible, High
Yield Bond, Stock Index, High Dividend Stock, Natural Resources, Global Equity
and Government Securities subaccounts) as of December 31, 1994, the related
statements of operations for the periods presented in the year then ended, and
the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented in the
two years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1994. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts
constituting The Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account as of
December 31, 1994, the results of their operations, and the changes in their net
assets for the respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 8, the 1993 financial statements of The Prudential
Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account have been restated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES
A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential"), a mutual
life insurance company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the
Company"). The activities of the Company cover a broad range of financial
services, including life and health insurance, property and casualty
insurance, reinsurance, group health care, securities brokerage, asset
management, investment advisory services, mortgage banking and servicing,
and real estate development and brokerage. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which for mutual life
insurance companies and their insurance subsidiaries are statutory
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by regulatory authorities in
the domiciliary states. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1993 and 1992 financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation.
In 1994, The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 94-5, "Disclosures of Certain Matters in the
Financial Statements of Insurance Enterprises" ("SOP 94-5"), which
requires insurance enterprises to disclose in their financial statements
the accounting methods used in their statutory financial statements that
are permitted by the state insurance departments rather than prescribed
statutory accounting practices.
The Prudential, domiciled in the State of New Jersey, prepares its
statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by the New Jersey Department of Insurance ("the
Department"). Its insurance subsidiaries prepare statutory financial
statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by their respective domiciliary home state insurance departments.
Prescribed statutory accounting practices include publications of the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), state laws,
regulations, and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory
accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed.
In 1993, The Prudential issued Fixed Rate Capital Notes ("the notes").
Interest payments on the notes are pre-approved by the Department, and
principal repayment is subject to a Risk-Based Capital test. This
permitted accounting practice differs from that prescribed by the NAIC.
The NAIC practices provide for Insurance Commissioner approval of every
interest and principal payment before the payment is made. The Prudential
has included the notes as part of surplus (see Note 7).
The Prudential has established guaranty fund liabilities for the
insolvencies of certain life insurance companies. The liabilities were
established net of estimated premium tax credits and federal income tax.
Prescribed statutory accounting practices do not address the establishment
of liabilities for guaranty fund assessments.
The Company, with permission from the Department, prepares an Annual
Report that differs from the Annual Statement filed with the Department in
that subsidiaries are consolidated and certain financial statement
captions are presented differently.
C. FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Financial
Interpretation No. 40, "Applicability of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles to Mutual Life Insurance and Other Enterprises," which, as
amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
Interpretation No. 40 changes the current practice of mutual life
insurance companies with respect to utilizing statutory basis financial
statements for general purposes in that it would not allow such financial
statements to be referred to as having been prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Interpretation No. 40 requires GAAP financial statements of mutual
life insurance companies to apply all GAAP pronouncements, unless
specifically exempted. Implementation of Interpretation No. 40 will
require significant effort and judgment as to determining GAAP for mutual
insurance companies' insurance operations. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of Interpretation No. 40 on its consolidated
financial statements.
D. INVESTED ASSETS
Fixed maturities, which include long-term bonds and redeemable preferred
stock, are stated primarily at amortized cost. Equity securities, which
consist primarily of common stocks, are carried at market value, which is
based on quoted market prices, where available, or prices provided by
state regulatory authorities.
F-3
<PAGE> 4
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
As of January 1, 1994, the non-insurance subsidiaries of The Prudential
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No. 115").
Under SFAS No. 115, debt and marketable equity securities are classified
in three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading. The
effect of adopting SFAS No. 115 for the non-insurance subsidiaries was not
material.
Mortgage loans are stated primarily at unpaid principal balances. In
establishing reserves for losses on mortgage loans, management considers
expected losses on loans which they believe may not be collectible in full
and expected losses on foreclosures and the sale of mortgage loans.
Reserves established for potential or estimated mortgage loan losses are
included in the "Asset valuation reserve."
Policy loans are stated primarily at unpaid principal balances.
Investment real estate, except for real estate acquired in satisfaction of
debt, is carried at cost less accumulated straight-line depreciation ($748
million in 1994 and $859 million in 1993), encumbrances and permanent
impairments in value. Real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt,
included in "Other assets," is carried at the lower of cost or fair value
less disposition costs. Fair value is considered to be the amount that
could reasonably be expected in a current transaction between willing
parties, other than in forced or liquidation sale.
Included in "Other long-term investments" is the Company's net equity in
joint ventures and other forms of partnerships, which amounted to $3,357
million and $3,745 million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company's share of net income from such entities was $354 million,
$375 million and $185 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase are collateralized financing transactions and are
carried at their contract amounts plus accrued interest. These agreements
are generally collateralized by cash or securities with market values in
excess of the obligations under the contract. It is the Company's policy
to take possession of securities purchased under resale agreements and to
value the securities daily. The Company monitors the value of the
underlying collateral and collateral is adjusted when necessary.
Trading account securities from broker-dealer operations are reported
based upon quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses reported
in "Broker-dealer revenue."
The Company has a securities lending program whereby large blocks of
securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms.
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the estimated fair values of loaned
securities were $6,765 million and $6,520 million, respectively. Company
and NAIC policies require a minimum of 102% and 105% of the fair value of
the domestic and foreign loaned securities, respectively, to be separately
maintained as collateral for the loans. Cash collateral received is
invested in "Short-term investments," which are reflected as assets in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The offsetting collateral
liability is included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position
in "Other liabilities" in the amounts of $2,385 million and $374 million
at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Non-cash collateral is
recorded in memorandum records and not reflected in the consolidated
financial statements.
Net unrealized investment gains and losses result principally from changes
in the carrying values of invested assets. Net unrealized investment
losses were $(32) million, $(195) million and $(268) million for the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The asset valuation reserve (AVR) and the interest maintenance reserve
(IMR) are required reserves for life insurance companies. The AVR is
calculated based on a statutory formula and is designed to mitigate the
effect of valuation and credit-related losses on unassigned surplus.

Total AVR............................... $2,035 $2,687
====== ======
</TABLE>
In 1993, the Company made a voluntary contribution to the mortgage loan
component of the AVR in the amount of $305 million.
The IMR is designed to reduce the fluctuations of surplus resulting from
market interest rate movements. Interest rate-related realized capital
gains and losses are generally deferred and amortized into investment
income over the remaining life of the investment sold. The IMR balance,
included in "Other policyholders' funds," was $502 million and $1,539
million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net realized
investment (losses)/gains of $(929) million, $1,082 million and $626
million were deferred during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively. IMR amounts amortized into investment income were $107
million, $118 million and $51 million for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
E. FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS, LOSSES AND CLAIMS
Reserves for individual life insurance are calculated using various
methods, interest rates and mortality tables, which produce reserves that
meet the aggregate requirements of state laws and regulations.
Approximately 39% of individual life insurance reserves are determined
using the net level premium method, or by using the greater of a net level
premium reserve or the policy cash value. About 56% of individual life
insurance reserves are calculated according to the Commissioner's Reserve
Valuation Method ("CRVM") or methods which compare CRVM reserves to policy
cash values.
For group life insurance, 24% of reserves are determined using net level
premium methods and various mortality tables and interest rates. About 53%
of group life reserves are associated with extended death benefits. For
the most part, these are calculated using modified group tables at various
interest rates. The remainder of group life reserves are unearned premium
reserves (calculated using the 1960 Commissioner's Standard Group Table),
reserves for group life fund accumulations and other miscellaneous
reserves. Reserves for group and individual annuity contracts are
determined using the Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.
For life insurance and annuities, unpaid claims include estimates of both
the death benefits on reported claims and those which are incurred but not
reported. Unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses for other than life
insurance and annuities include estimates of benefits and associated
settlement expenses for reported losses and a provision for losses
incurred but not reported.

</TABLE>
As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the
declines of $105 million and $167 million in the provision for claims and
claim adjustment expenses for accident and health business in 1994 and
1993, respectively, were due to lower-than-expected trends in claim costs
and an accelerated decline in indemnity health business.
As a result of changes in estimates of insured events in prior years, the
provision for claims and claim adjustment expenses for property and
casualty business (net of reinsurance recoveries of $47 million and $120
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively) increased by $158 million and $109
million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, due to increased loss development
and reserve strengthening for asbestos and environmental claims.
F. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED EXPENSES
Life premiums are recognized as income over the premium paying period of
the related policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue
when received.
Health and property and casualty premiums are earned ratably over the
terms of the related insurance and reinsurance contracts or policies.
Unearned premium reserves are established to cover the unexpired portion
of premiums written. Such reserves are computed by pro rata methods for
direct business and are computed either by pro rata methods or using
reports received from ceding companies for reinsurance. Premiums which
have not yet been reported are estimated and accrued.
Expenses incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business,
including such acquisition costs as sales commissions, are charged to
operations as incurred in "Insurance and underwriting expenses."
Commission revenues in "Broker-dealer revenue" and related broker-dealer
expenses in "General, administrative and other expenses" are accrued when
transactions are executed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
G. INCOME TAXES
Under the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code"), The Prudential and its life
insurance subsidiaries are taxed on their gain from operations after
dividends to policyholders. In calculating this tax, the Code requires the
capitalization and amortization of policy acquisition expenses.
The Code also imposes an "equity tax" on mutual life insurance companies
based on an imputed surplus which, in effect, reduces the deduction for
policyholder dividends. The amount of the equity tax is estimated in the
current year based on the anticipated equity tax rate, and is adjusted in
subsequent years as the rate is finalized.
The Prudential files a consolidated federal income tax return with all of
its domestic subsidiaries. The provision for taxes reported in these
financial statements also includes tax liabilities for the foreign
subsidiaries. Net operating losses of the non-life subsidiaries may be
used in this consolidated return, but are limited each year to the lesser
of 35% of cumulative eligible non-life subsidiary losses or 35% of life
company taxable income.
As of January 1, 1993, the non-insurance subsidiaries of The Prudential
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Under SFAS No. 109, such subsidiaries
recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in their financial
statements. Included in "Income tax (benefit)/provision" are deferred
taxes of $(477) million, $21 million and $(8) million for the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The cumulative effect of
adopting SFAS No. 109 was not material.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had consolidated non-life tax loss
carryforwards of $598 million which will expire between 1998 and 2009, if
not utilized.
H. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate Account assets and liabilities, reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position at estimated market value, represent
segregated funds which are administered for pension and other clients. The
assets consist of common stocks, long-term bonds, real estate, mortgages
and short-term investments. The liabilities consist of reserves
established to meet withdrawal and future benefit payment contractual
provisions. Investment risks associated with market value changes are
generally borne by the clients, except to the extent of minimum guarantees
made by the Company with respect to certain accounts. Separate Account net
investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses,
benefit payments and change in reserves are included in "Current and
future benefits and claims."
I. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives used for trading purposes are recorded in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position at fair value at the reporting date.
Realized and unrealized changes in fair values are recognized in
"Broker-dealer revenue" and "Other income" in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations in the period in which the changes occur. Gains and losses
on hedges of existing assets or liabilities are included in the carrying
amount of those assets or liabilities and are deferred and recognized in
earnings in the same period as the underlying hedged item. For interest
rate swaps that qualify for settlement accounting, the interest
differential to be paid or received under the swap agreements is accrued
over the life of the agreements as a yield adjustment. Gains and losses on
early termination of derivatives that modify the characteristics of
designated assets and liabilities are deferred and are amortized as an
adjustment to the yield of the related assets or liabilities over their
remaining lives.
Derivatives used in activities that support life and health insurance and
annuity contracts are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses recorded in "Net unrealized investment (losses) and change in AVR."
Upon termination of derivatives supporting life and health insurance and
annuity contracts, the interest-related gains and losses are amortized
through the IMR.
2. RESTRICTED ASSETS AND SPECIAL DEPOSITS
Assets in the amounts of $5,901 million and $5,164 million at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, were on deposit with governmental authorities or
trustees as required by law.
Assets valued at $5,855 million and $4,430 million at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively, were maintained as compensating balances or pledged as
collateral for bank loans and other financing agreements.

Proceeds from the sale and maturity of fixed maturities during 1994, 1993 and
1992 were $82,834 million, $87,840 million and $73,326 million, respectively.
Gross gains of $693 million, $2,473 million and $2,034 million, and gross
losses of $2,009 million, $698 million and $530 million were realized on such
sales during 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively (see Note 1D).
The Company invests in both investment grade and non-investment grade
securities. The Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC rates the fixed
maturities held by insurers (which account for approximately 98% of the
Company's total fixed maturities balance at December 31, 1994 and 1993) for
regulatory purposes and groups investments into six categories ranging from
highest quality bonds to those in or near default. The lowest three NAIC
categories represent, for the most part, high-yield securities and are
defined by the NAIC as including any security with a public agency rating of
B+ or B1 or less.

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
A. PENSION PLANS
The Company has several defined benefit pension plans which cover
substantially all of its employees. The benefits are generally based on
career average earnings and credited length of service.
The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually the amount necessary
to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service contribution guidelines. The
pension plans are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" ("SFAS
No. 87").

Plan assets consist primarily of equity securities, bonds, real estate and
short-term investments, of which $4,155 million are included in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 1994.
In compliance with statutory accounting principles, The Prudential's
prepaid pension costs of $765 million and $784 million at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, were considered non-admitted assets. These
assets are excluded from the consolidated assets and the changes in these
non-admitted assets of ($19) million and $142 million in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, are reported in "General, administrative and other expenses"
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The components of the net periodic pension expense/(benefit) for 1994 and
1993 are as follows:

The net expense relating to the Company's pension plans is $28 million, $23
million and $29 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, which considers
the changes in The Prudential's non-admitted prepaid pension asset of $(19)
million, $142 million and $117 million, respectively.
As a result of a special early retirement program, net curtailment gains and
special termination benefits of approximately $156 million are included in
the net periodic pension expense for the year ended December 31, 1994.
The assumptions used in 1994 and 1993 to develop the accumulated pension
benefit obligation were:

B. POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company provides certain life insurance and health care benefits for
its retired employees. Substantially all of the Company's employees may
become eligible to receive a benefit if they retire after age 55 with at
least 10 years of service.
Effective in 1993, the costs of postretirement benefits, with respect to
The Prudential, are recognized in accordance with the accounting policy
issued by the NAIC. The NAIC's policy is similar to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," except that the NAIC policy excludes
non-vested employees. The Prudential has elected to amortize its
transition obligation over 20 years.
Prior to 1993, the Company's policy was to fund the cost of providing
these benefits in the years that the employees were providing services to
the Company. The Company defined this service period as originating at an
assumed entry age and terminating at an average retirement age. Annual
deposits to the fund were determined using the entry age normal actuarial
cost method, including amortization of prior service costs for employees'
services rendered prior to the initial funding of the plan. The provision
for the year ended December 31, 1992 was $143 million.
The Prudential's net periodic postretirement benefit cost required to be
recognized for 1994 and 1993, under the NAIC policy is $110 million and
$125 million, respectively. In 1994 and 1993, The Prudential voluntarily
accrued an additional $10 million and $62 million, respectively, which
represents a portion of the obligation for active non-vested employees
(the total of this obligation is $520 million and $594 million as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively).
Company funding of its postretirement benefit obligations totaled $31
million and $404 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company
contributes amounts to the plan in excess of covered expenses being paid.

In compliance with statutory accounting principles, The Prudential's prepaid
postretirement benefit costs of $127 million and $217 million at December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively, are considered non-admitted assets. These assets
are excluded from the consolidated assets and the changes in these

The net reduction to surplus relating to the Company's postretirement benefit
plans is $40 million and $412 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively, which
considers the changes in the non-admitted prepaid postretirement benefit cost
of $(90) million and $217 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
As a result of a special early retirement program, curtailment expenses and
special termination benefits of approximately $58 million are included in the
net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31,
1994.

The health care cost trend rates used varied from 9.1% to 13.9%, depending
on the plan, with one plan being graded to 6.5% by the year 2012 and all
others being graded to 6.0% by 2006. Increasing the health care cost trend
rate by one percentage point in each year would increase the
postretirement benefit obligation as of September 30, 1994, by $243
million and the total of the cost of newly eligible or vested employees
and interest cost for 1994 by $21 million.
In 1994, the Company changed its method of accounting for the recognition
of costs and obligations relating to severance, disability and related
benefits to former or inactive employees after employment, but before
retirement, to an accrual method. Previously, these benefits were expensed
when paid. The effect of this change was to decrease surplus by
approximately $160 million in 1994.
6. NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER BORROWINGS
Notes payable and other borrowings consisted of the following at December 31,

$268 million in 1998, $666 million in 1999, and $662 million thereafter. As
of December 31, 1994, the Company had $8,120 million in lines of credit from
numerous financial institutions of which $3,925 million were unused.
7. CAPITAL NOTES
In 1993, The Prudential issued 6.875% Fixed Rate Capital Notes ("the notes")
in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The notes mature on April
15, 2003, and may not be redeemed prior to maturity and will not be entitled
to any sinking fund. The notes are subordinated in right of payment to all
claims of policyholders and to senior indebtedness. Payment of the principal
amount of the notes at maturity is subject to the following conditions: (i)
The Prudential shall not be in payment default with respect to any senior
indebtedness or class of policyholders, (ii) no state or federal agency shall
have instituted proceedings seeking reorganization, rehabilitation or
liquidation of The Prudential, and (iii) immediately after making such
payment, Total Adjusted Capital would exceed 200% of its Authorized Control
Level Risk-Based Capital. The terms "Total Adjusted Capital" and "Authorized
Control Level" are defined by the Risk-Based Capital for Life and/or Health
Insurers Model Act. The payment of interest on the notes is subject to
satisfaction of conditions (i) and (ii) above. Unpaid accrued interest
amounted to $25 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993. The net proceeds from
the notes, approximately $298 million, were contributed to a voluntary
employee benefit association trust to prefund certain obligations of The
Prudential to provide postretirement medical and other benefits. This
resulted in a prepaid asset, which is non-admitted for statutory purposes.
The net increase to surplus from the issuance of the notes, including a tax
benefit of $104 million less the charge-off of the non-admitted asset of $217
million, was $185 million (see Note 5B).
8. SPECIAL SURPLUS FUND
The special surplus fund includes required contingency reserves of $1,097
million and $1,091 million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
9. FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
The fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available
information and reasonable valuation methodologies for those accounts for
which fair value disclosures are required. Considerable judgment is
necessarily applied in interpreting data to develop the estimates of fair
value. Accordingly, the estimates presented may not be realized in a current
market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The
following methods and assumptions were used in calculating the fair values.
(For all other financial instruments presented in the table, the carrying
value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.)

<PAGE> 13
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
FIXED MATURITIES. Fair values for fixed maturities, other than private
placement securities, are based on quoted market prices or estimates from
independent pricing services. Fair values for private placement securities
are estimated using a discounted cash flow model which considers the current
market spreads between the U.S. Treasury yield curve and corporate bond yield
curve, adjusted for the type of issue, its current quality and its remaining
average life. The fair value of certain non-performing private placement
securities is based on amounts provided by state regulatory authorities.
MORTGAGE LOANS. The fair value of residential mortgages is based on recent
market trades or quotes, adjusted where necessary for differences in risk
characteristics. The fair value of the commercial mortgage and agricultural
loan portfolio is primarily based upon the present value of the scheduled
cash flows discounted at the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate, adjusted for the
current market spread for a similar quality mortgage. For certain
non-performing and other loans, fair value is based upon the value of the
underlying collateral.
POLICY LOANS. The estimated fair value of policy loans is calculated using a
discounted cash flow model based upon current U.S. Treasury rates and
historical loan repayments.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The fair value of swap agreements is
estimated based on the present value of future cash flows under the
agreements discounted at the applicable zero coupon U.S. Treasury rate and
swap spread. The fair value of forwards and futures is estimated based on
market quotes for a transaction with similar terms, while the fair value of
options is based principally on market quotes. The fair value of loan
commitments is estimated based on fees actually charged or those currently
charged for similar arrangements, adjusted for changes in interest rates and
credit quality subsequent to origination.
INVESTMENT-TYPE INSURANCE CONTRACT LIABILITIES. Fair values for the Company's
investment-type insurance contract liabilities are estimated using a
discounted cash flow model, based on interest rates currently being offered
for similar contracts.
NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER BORROWINGS. The estimated fair value of notes payable
and other borrowings is based on the borrowing rates currently available to
the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.
The following table discloses the carrying amounts and estimated fair values
of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993:

A. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119, "Disclosures about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," effective for 1994, requires certain disclosures about
derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments with
similar characteristics ("derivatives"). Derivatives include swaps,
forwards, futures, options and loan commitments subject to market risk,
all of which are used by the Company in the normal course of business in
both trading and other than trading activities.
The Company uses derivatives in trading activities primarily to meet the
financing and hedging needs of its customers and to trade for its own
account. The Company also uses derivatives for purposes other than
trading to reduce exposure to interest rate, currency and other forms of
market risk.
The table below summarizes the Company's outstanding positions by
derivative instrument as of December 31,1994. The amounts presented are
classified as either trading or other than trading, based on
management's intent at the time of contract inception and throughout the
life of the contract. The table includes the estimated fair values of
outstanding derivative positions only and does not include the fair
values of associated financial and non-financial assets and liabilities,
which generally offset derivative fair values. The fair value amounts
presented do not reflect the netting of amounts pursuant to rights of
setoff, qualifying master netting agreements with counterparties or
collateral arrangements. The table shows that less than 5% of derivative
fair values were not reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statement
of Financial Position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
DERIVATIVES HELD FOR TRADING PURPOSES. The Company uses derivatives for
trading purposes in securities broker-dealer activities and in a
limited-purpose swap subsidiary. Net trading revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1994, relating to forwards, futures and swaps were $107 million,
$33 million and $8 million, respectively. Net trading revenues for options
were not material. Average fair value for trading derivatives in an asset
position during the year ended December 31, 1994, was $1,526 million and for
derivatives in a liability position was $1,671 million. Of those derivatives
held for trading purposes at December 31, 1994, 60.0% of notional consisted
of interest rate derivatives, 33.7% consisted of foreign exchange
derivatives, and 6.3% consisted of equity and commodity derivatives.
DERIVATIVES HELD FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN TRADING. Of the total notional of
derivatives held for purposes other than trading at December 31, 1994, 23.0%
were used by the Company to hedge its investment portfolio to reduce interest
rate, currency and other market risks, 75.8% were used to hedge interest rate
risk related to the Company's mortgage banking subsidiary activities, and
1.2% were used to hedge interest and currency risks associated with the
Company's debt issuances. Of those derivatives held for purposes other than
trading at December 31, 1994, 85.0% of notional consisted of interest rate
derivatives, 13.9% consisted of foreign exchange derivatives, and 1.1%
consisted of equity and commodity derivatives.
Derivatives used to hedge the Company's investment portfolio, including
futures, options and forwards, are typically short-term in nature and are
intended to minimize exposure to market fluctuations or to change the
characteristics of the Company's asset/liability mix, consistent with the
Company's risk management activities. At December 31, 1994, net gains of $0.7
million relating to futures used as hedges of anticipated bond investments
were deferred and included in "Other liabilities." The investments being
hedged are expected to be made in the first quarter of 1995. The Company's
mortgage banking subsidiary hedges the interest rate risk associated with
mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities held for sale and with unfunded
loans for which a rate of interest has been guaranteed. At December 31, 1994,
net gains of $0.8 million relating to forwards, futures and options used as
hedges of unfunded loan commitments were deferred as "Other liabilities." The
deferred gains were included in the carrying amounts of the loans when
funded, which is generally within sixty days from the commitment date. The
Company's mortgage banking subsidiary also hedges its exposure to future
changes in interest rates on interest-sensitive liabilities and hedges the
prepayment risk associated with its mortgage servicing portfolio. At December
31, 1994, net gains of $6.5 million relating to futures used as hedges of
anticipated borrowings were deferred and included in "Other liabilities." The
borrowings being hedged are expected to be issued by early 1996. The Company
also uses derivatives, particularly swaps and forwards, to manage the
interest rate and foreign exchange risks associated with its notes payable
and other borrowings.
B. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET CREDIT-RELATED INSTRUMENTS
During the normal course of its business, the Company is party to financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk such as commitments, financial
guarantees, loans sold with recourse and letters of credit. Commitments
include commitments to purchase and sell mortgage loans, the unfunded portion
of commitments to fund investments in private placement securities, and
unused credit card and home equity lines. The Company also provides financial
guarantees incidental to other transactions and letters of credit that
guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. These credit-related
financial instruments have off-balance-sheet credit risk because only their
origination fees, if any, and accruals for probable losses, if any, are
recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position until the
obligation under the instrument is fulfilled or expires. These instruments
can extend for several years and expirations are not concentrated in any
period. The Company seeks to control credit risk associated with these
instruments by limiting credit, maintaining collateral where customary and
appropriate, and performing other monitoring procedures.
The notional amount of these instruments, which represents the Company's
maximum exposure to credit loss from other parties' non-performance, was
$17,389 million and $18,666 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Because many of these amounts expire without being advanced in
whole or in part, the amounts do not represent future cash flows. The above
notional amounts include $4,150 million and $3,066 million of unused
available lines of credit under credit card and home equity commitments as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company has not experienced,
and does not anticipate experiencing, all of its customers exercising their
entire available lines of credit at any given point in time.
The estimated fair value of off-balance-sheet credit related instruments was
$(91.3) million and $13.0 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The total fair value at December 31, 1994, includes $(13.3)
million for fixed-rate loan commitments, which are subject to market risk.
The estimated fair value was determined based on fees currently charged for
similar arrangements, adjusted for changes in interest rate and credit
quality that occurred subsequent to origination.

THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
11. CONTINGENCIES
A. ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED CLAIMS
The Company receives claims under expired contracts which assert alleged
injuries and/or damages relating to or resulting from toxic torts, toxic
waste and other hazardous substances. The liabilities for such claims
cannot be estimated by traditional reserving techniques. As a result of
judicial decisions and legislative actions, the coverage afforded under
these contracts may be expanded beyond their original terms. Extensive
litigation between insurers and insureds over these issues continues and
the outcome is not predictable, nor is there any clear emerging trend.
In establishing the unpaid claim reserves for these losses, management
considered the available information. However, given the expansion of
coverage and liability by the courts and legislatures in the past, and
potential for other unfavorable trends in the future, the ultimate cost
of these claims could increase from the levels currently established.
B. LAWSUITS
Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the course of the
Company's business. In certain of these matters, large and/or
indeterminate amounts are sought.
In 1993, Prudential Securities Incorporated (PSI), a subsidiary of The
Prudential, entered into an agreement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and
state securities commissions whereby PSI agreed to pay $330 million into
a settlement fund to pay eligible claims on certain limited partnership
matters. Under this agreement, if partnership matter claims exceed the
established settlement fund, PSI is obligated to pay such additional
claims.
In October 1994, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of
New York (the "U.S. Attorney") filed a complaint against PSI in
connection with its sale of certain limited partnerships.
Simultaneously, PSI entered into an agreement to comply with certain
conditions for a period of three years, and to pay an additional $330
million into the settlement fund. At the end of the three-year period,
assuming PSI has fully complied with the terms of the agreement, the
U.S. Attorney will institute no further action.
In the opinion of management, PSI is in compliance with all provisions
of the aforementioned agreements and, after consideration of applicable
accruals, the ultimate liability of such litigation, including
partnership settlement matters, will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial position.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Several purported class actions and individual actions have been
brought against the Company on behalf of those persons who purchased life
insurance policies allegedly because of deceptive sales practices engaged
in by the Company and its insurance agents in violation of state and
federal laws. The sales practices alleged to have occurred are contrary to
Company policy. Some of these cases seek very substantial damages while
others seek unspecified compensatory, punitive and treble damages. The
majority of these cases were filed after March 1, 1995. The Company intends
to defend these cases vigorously.
In response to this litigaton, several state insurance departments have
initiated investigations or market conduct examinations relating to
Prudential's sales practices. The Attorney General of two states have also
made inquires.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and given the complexity
and scope of these suits, their outcome cannot be predicted. It is also not
possible to predict the likely results of any regulatory inquires or their
effect on this litigation or other litigation which might be initiated in
response to widespread media coverage of these matters.
Accordingly, management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the
amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome of
all pending litigation. It is possible that the results of operations or
cash flows of the Company in particular quarterly or annual periods could
be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable outcome of certain
pending litigation matters.
Management believes, however, that the ultimate outcome of all pending
litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
Newark, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
position of The Prudential Insurance Company of America and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
operations and changes in surplus and asset valuation reserve and of cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Prudential Insurance Company
of America and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

DETERMINATION OF SUBACCOUNT UNIT VALUES
AND OF THE AMOUNT OF MONTHLY VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS
A. Subaccount Unit Values
The value for each Subaccount Unit is computed as of the end of each "valuation
period" as defined on page 3 of the prospectus (also referred to in this section
as business day).
On any given business day the value of Units in each subaccount will be
determined by multiplying the value of a Unit of that subaccount for the
preceding business day by the net investment factor for that subaccount for the
current business day. The net investment factor for any business day is
determined by dividing the value of the assets of the subaccount for that day by
the value of the assets of the subaccount for the preceding business day
(ignoring, for this purpose, changes resulting from new purchase payments and
withdrawals), and subtracting from the result the daily equivalent of the up to
1.2% annual charge for expense risks and mortality risks. (See Charges under the
Contracts in the prospectus for the Account.) The value of the assets of a
subaccount is determined by multiplying the number of shares of the Series Fund
held by that subaccount by the net asset value of each share, and adding the
value of dividends declared by the Series Fund but not yet paid.
B. Determination of the Amount of Monthly Variable Annuity Payment
When a Contract owner elects to convert his or her Variable Account into monthly
variable annuity payments (an option available under the WVQ-83 Contract and the
QVIP-84 Contract, but not under the VIP-86 Contract), the number of Units
credited to him or her in each subaccount is first reduced to take into account
any applicable sales charge and any state premium taxes that may be payable. The
remaining Subaccount Units are then converted into a number of Subaccount
Annuity Units of equal aggregate value. As with Subaccount Units, the value of
each Subaccount Annuity Unit also changes daily in accordance with the
investment results of the underlying Series Fund Portfolio, after deduction of
the daily equivalent of the up to 1.2% annual charge for assuming expense and
mortality risks.
Built into the value of Subaccount Annuity Units is an assumption that the value
of a subaccount will grow by 3.5% each year. The reason for making this
assumption is explained more fully below. Accordingly, the value of a Subaccount
Annuity Unit always increases by an amount that is somewhat less than the
increase would have been had this assumption not been made and decreases by an
amount that is somewhat greater than the decrease would have been had the
assumption not been made. If the value of the assets of a subaccount increases
from one day to the next at a rate equivalent to 4.7% per year (3.5% plus the
annual charge of 1.2%) the Subaccount Annuity Unit Value will not change. If the
increase is less than at a rate of 4.7% per year the Subaccount Annuity Unit
Value will decrease.
To determine the amount of each monthly variable annuity payment, the first step
is to refer to the Schedule of Annuity Rates set forth in the Contract, relating
to the form of annuity selected by the Contract owner. For example, for a person
of 65 years of age who has selected a lifetime annuity with a guaranteed minimum
of 120 payments, the applicable schedules currently provide that 1000 Subaccount
Annuity Units will result in the payment each month of an amount equal to the
value of 5.20 Subaccount Annuity Units. (Due to the fact that the Schedule of
Annuity Rates set forth in the WVQ-83 Contract differs from that set forth in
the QVIP-84 Contract, the preceding sentence, as it applies to the WVQ-83
Contract, is modified. See item 3 under Differences Under the WVQ-83 Contract in
the prospectus for the Account.) The amount of the first variable annuity
payment made on the first day of the month will be equal to that number of
Subaccount Annuity Units multiplied by the Subaccount Annuity Unit Value at the
end of that day, if a business day, or otherwise at the end of the last
preceding business day. The amount of each subsequent variable annuity payment
made on the first day of the month will be equal to the number of Subaccount
Annuity Units multiplied by the Subaccount Annuity Unit Value at the end of the
last business day which is at least 5 days before the date the annuity payment
is due. (Under the WVQ-83 Contract, the amount of each variable annuity payment
made after the first payment is not determined as described in the preceding
sentence. See item 4 under Differences Under the WVQ-83 Contract in the
prospectus for the Account.)
As stated above, Subaccount Annuity Unit Values change in accordance with the
investment results of the subaccount but will not increase--and thus the amount
of each monthly variable payment will not increase--unless the value of the
assets in the subaccount increases, after deducting the up to 1.2% annual
charge, at a rate greater than 3.5% per year. This compensates for the fact that
the annuity rate schedules have been constructed upon the assumption that there
will be a 3.5% annual increase in the value of each subaccount.
C1
<PAGE>
Although a different assumption could have been made, namely that the
subaccounts will not increase in value, this would have resulted in smaller
variable annuity payments immediately after annuitization and larger payments in
later years. This would have been advantageous for annuitants who happen to live
very long but disadvantageous to those who happen to die earlier. The Prudential
believes that the 3.5% annual growth assumption is better for Contract owners,
because it produces a better balance between early and later variable annuity
payments.

The subsidiaries of The Prudential and short descriptions of each are listed
under Item 25 of Post-Effective Amendment No. 28 to the Form N-1A Registration
Statement for The Prudential Series Fund, Inc., Registration No. 2-80896, filed
February 1, 1995, the text of which is hereby incorporated.
ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS
As of February 24, 1995 there were 326,038 contract owners of qualified
Contracts offered by the Registrant.
ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION
The Prudential Directors' and Officers' Liability and Corporation Reimbursement
Program, purchased by The Prudential from Aetna Casualty & Surety Company, CNA
Insurance Company, Lloyds of London, Great American Insurance Company, Reliance
Insurance Company, Corporate Officers & Directors Assurance Ltd., A.C.E.
Insurance Company, Ltd., XL Insurance Company, Ltd., and Zurich-American
Insurance Company, provides coverage for "Loss" (as defined in the policies)
arising from any claim or claims by reason of any actual or alleged act, error,
misstatement, misleading statement, omission, or breach of duty by persons in
the discharge of their duties solely in their capacities as directors or
officers of The Prudential, any of its subsidiaries, or certain investment
companies affiliated with The Prudential. Coverage is also provided to the
individual directors or officers for such Loss, for which they shall not be
indemnified. Loss essentially is the legal liability on claims against a
director or officer, including adjudicated damages, settlements and reasonable
and necessary legal fees and expenses incurred in defense of adjudicatory
proceedings and appeals therefrom. Loss does not include punitive or exemplary
damages or the multiplied portion of any multiplied damage award, criminal or
civil fines or penalties imposed by law, taxes or wages, or matters which are
insurable under the law pursuant to which the policies are construed.
There are a number of exclusions from coverage. Among the matters excluded are
Losses arising as the result of (1) claims brought about or contributed to by
the criminal or deliberate fraudulent acts of a director or officer, and (2)
claims arising from actual or alleged performance of, or failure to perform,
services as, or in any capacity similar to, an investment adviser, investment
banker, underwriter, broker or dealer, as those terms are defined in the
Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, any rules or
regulations thereunder, or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or
regulation.
The limit of coverage under the Program for both individual and corporate
reimbursement coverage is $150,000,000. The retention for corporate
reimbursement coverage is $10,000,000 per loss.
The relevant provisions of New Jersey law permitting or requiring
indemnification, New Jersey being the state of organization of The Prudential,
can be found in Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated. The text
of The Prudential's by-law 27, which relates to indemnification of officers and
directors, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (6)(b) to this Registration
Statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
ITEM 29. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS
(a) Pruco Securities Corporation also acts as principal underwriter for the
Pruco Life PRUvider Variable Appreciable Account, the Pruco Life Variable
Universal Account, the Pruco Life Variable Insurance Account, the Pruco
Life

The Prudential Insurance Company
of America
Prudential Plaza
Newark, New Jersey 07102-3777
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Chief Counsel Variable Products of The Prudential
Insurance Company of America, I have reviewed the establishment of The
Prudential Qualified Individual Variable Contract Account (the "Account") on
October 12, 1982, by the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company
of America ("The Prudential") as a separate account for assets applicable to
certain qualified variable annuity contracts, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 17B:28-7 of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey. I am responsible for
oversight of the preparation and review of the Registration Statement on Form
N-4, as amended, filed by The Prudential with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (Registration No. 2-81318) under the Securities Act of 1933 for the
registration of certain qualified variable annuity contracts issued with respect
to the Account.
I am of the following opinion:
(1) The Prudential was duly organized under the laws of New Jersey and is
a validly existing corporation.
(2) The Account has been duly created and is validly existing as a
separate account pursuant to the aforesaid provisions of New Jersey
law.
(3) The portion of the assets held in the Account equal to the reserve and
other liabilities for variable benefits under the qualified variable
annuity contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of
any other business The Prudential may conduct.
(4) The qualified variable annuity contracts are legal and binding
obligations of The Prudential in accordance with their terms.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of law and
examined such records and other documents as I judged to be necessary or
appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
Clifford E. Kirsch
