PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF NEW JERSEY
SINGLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS
This prospectus describes the DISCOVERY(R) Life Plus Contract*, a variable life
insurance contract (the "Contract") issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company of
New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"), a stock life insurance company that is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("The Prudential"). The Contract requires payment of a premium of at
least $10,000 upon issuance.
The Contract provides lifetime insurance coverage, as long as the Contract is
not surrendered or in default beyond its days of grace, and also provides a cash
surrender value if the Contract is surrendered during the insured's lifetime.
The death benefit will be the face amount of insurance stated in the Contract or
under certain circumstances a higher amount. The cash surrender value of the
Contract varies daily to reflect investment performance, and the imposition of
charges. There is no guaranteed minimum cash surrender value, and if investment
performance is sufficiently poor for a sufficiently long time, the cash
surrender value could decline to zero.
Following a deduction for applicable premium taxes, the premium payment will be
allocated as the owner directs in one or more of the following ways. It may be
allocated to one or more of the subaccounts of the Pruco Life of New Jersey
Single Premium Variable Life Account (the "Account"), to a FIXED-RATE OPTION or
to a real estate investment option funded by another separate account of Pruco
Life of New Jersey. The assets of each subaccount will be invested in a
corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund").
The attached prospectus for the Series Fund and the Series Fund's statement of
additional information describe the investment objectives of and risks of
investing in the fifteen portfolios of the Series Fund currently available to
Contract owners: the MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO, the DIVERSIFIED BOND PORTFOLIO, the
GOVERNMENT INCOME PORTFOLIO, two ZERO COUPON BOND PORTFOLIOS with different
liquidation dates--2000 and 2005, the CONSERVATIVE BALANCED PORTFOLIO, the
FLEXIBLE MANAGED PORTFOLIO, the HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO, the STOCK INDEX
PORTFOLIO, the EQUITY INCOME PORTFOLIO, the EQUITY PORTFOLIO, the PRUDENTIAL
JENNISON PORTFOLIO, the SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCK PORTFOLIO, the GLOBAL
PORTFOLIO, and the NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO. Interest is credited daily upon
any portion of the premium payment allocated to the fixed-rate option at a rate
periodically declared by Pruco Life of New Jersey in its sole discretion.
Selection of the real estate investment option involves allocation of part or
all of the premium payment to the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract
Real Property Account (the "REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT"), a separate account of Pruco
Life of New Jersey that, through a partnership, invests primarily in
income-producing real property. The Real Property Account is described in a
prospectus that is attached to this one. This prospectus describes the Contract
generally and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Single Premium Variable Life Account.
The Contract is a Modified Endowment Contract under federal tax law. Any policy
loan, surrender or other pre-death distribution may result in adverse tax
consequences, and, if the insured is less than age 59 1/2, a 10% tax penalty.
----------------------------------------------------------
This prospectus provides information a prospective investor should know before
deciding to purchase a Contract. It may not be advantageous to replace existing
insurance with a Contract described in this prospectus, and if a prospective
investor already owns a flexible premium life insurance contract, the benefits
and costs of purchasing additional insurance under the existing Contract should
be compared with the benefits and costs of purchasing the Contract described
herein. In making this comparison, a qualified tax advisor should be consulted.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
The DISCOVERY Life Plus Contract (the "Contract") provides a way to invest in
one or more securities portfolios with different investment objectives, while at
the same time providing lifetime insurance protection. The DISCOVERY Life Plus
Contract is a variable whole life insurance contract. It is called a "variable"
contract because the value of the Contract depends upon the investment results
of the investment option[s] selected. Under current law, no tax is payable upon
any increase in the value of the Contract until amounts are distributed under
the Contract. The owner may surrender the Contract in full and in that way
withdraw the full cash surrender value of the Contract. Neither partial
surrenders nor Contract splits are permitted. The Contract owner may, however,
borrow against the value of the Contract. See LOANS, page 9.
Because the Contract is a Modified Endowment Contract under federal tax law,
loans and other distributions made during the insured's lifetime are includible
in gross income on an income-first basis. A 10% penalty tax may be imposed on
income distributed before the insured attains age 59 1/2. See TAX TREATMENT OF
CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 15.
The Contract is purchased by making an initial premium payment. Generally, the
minimum initial payment is $10,000. For insureds aged 76 through 85, the minimum
initial payment is $50,000. Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco
Life of New Jersey") deducts the amount needed to pay state and/or local premium
taxes attributable to the Contract and allocates the remainder to the variable
investment option[s] selected by the owner and/or to the fixed-rate option. The
assets of each subaccount are invested in a corresponding portfolio of The
Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"), a series mutual fund for which
The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential") is the investment
advisor. The Series Fund currently has fifteen 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 DIVERSIFIED BOND PORTFOLIO (formerly the Bond Portfolio) is invested
primarily in high quality medium-term corporate and government debt securities;
the GOVERNMENT INCOME PORTFOLIO (formerly 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 ZERO COUPON BOND PORTFOLIOS 2000 and 2005 are invested primarily in debt
obligations of the United States Treasury and investment grade corporations that
have been issued without interest coupons or stripped of their unmatured
interest coupons, interest coupons that have been stripped from such debt
obligations, and receipts and certificates for such stripped debt obligations
and stripped coupons; the CONSERVATIVE BALANCED PORTFOLIO (formerly 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 FLEXIBLE MANAGED
PORTFOLIO (formerly 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
EQUITY INCOME PORTFOLIO (formerly 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 EQUITY PORTFOLIO (formerly the
Common Stock Portfolio) is invested primarily in common stocks; the PRUDENTIAL
JENNISON PORTFOLIO (formerly 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 PORTFOLIO (formerly the Global Equity Portfolio) is invested
primarily in common stocks and common stock equivalents (such as convertible
debt securities) of foreign and domestic 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 5.
The Contract owner may also invest a portion of the premium payment in The Pruco
Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real Property
Account"), which, through a partnership, invests primarily in income-producing
real property. If a Contract owner elects to invest in the real estate
investment option, the assets will be maintained in a subaccount of the Real
Property Account related to the Contract that provides the mechanism and
maintains the records whereby various Contract charges are made. The investment
objectives of
2
<PAGE>
the Real Property Account and the partnership are described briefly under PRUCO
LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT on page 7.
All of the premium payment may be allocated to one subaccount, to the fixed-rate
option funded by Pruco Life of New Jersey's general account or to the Real
Property Account. Alternatively, the premium payment may be divided among any of
the subaccounts, the fixed-rate option, and the Real Property Account.
The value of the Contract will vary to reflect the investment results of the
variable investment option[s] in which money is invested and the amount of
interest credited on amounts allocated to the fixed-rate option. The total
amount attributable to a Contract held in the variable investment options and
under the fixed-rate option, plus the principal amount of any Contract loan, is
referred to herein interchangeably as the "Contract fund" or "the amount
credited under the Contract".
The purchaser of a Contract decides what the amount of the initial premium will
be (so long as it is at least $10,000; $50,000 for issue ages 76 through 85) and
from this amount the initial amount of life insurance (i.e., the face amount) is
determined. Although the cash surrender value of the Contract (i.e., the
Contract fund minus any Contract debt and any applicable sales charge deducted
upon surrender) will begin to vary immediately to reflect the investment results
of any amount invested in the variable investment options, the amount of life
insurance will ordinarily not change for several years and may not change at
all. If investment results are sufficiently favorable, however, the amount of
insurance will eventually increase and thereafter will vary in amount reflecting
investment results and the application of factors that vary with the insured's
attained age. But it will never be less than the face amount. See AMOUNT OF LIFE
INSURANCE, page 11.
Pruco Life of New Jersey deducts certain charges from premium payments and from
the amounts held in the designated investment options. In addition, Pruco Life
of New Jersey makes certain additional charges if a Contract is surrendered
during the first 6 Contract years. All these charges, which are largely designed
to cover insurance costs and risks as well as sales and administrative expenses,
are fully described under CHARGES on page 9. In brief, and subject to that
fuller description, the following diagram outlines the charges which may be
made:
3
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PREMIUM PAYMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Less charge for premium taxes. (Under certain
circumstances, this charge may be reduced or
eliminated, see item 1 under CHARGES, page 9).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTED PREMIUM AMOUNT
o To be invested in one or a combination of:
o One or more of the fifteen available portfolios of the Series
Fund.
o The Real Property Account.
o The Fixed Rate Option.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAILY CHARGES
o A daily charge equivalent to an annual rate of up to 0.35% is deducted
from the assets of each of the variable investment options for
administrative expenses.
o A daily charge equivalent to an annual rate of up to 0.9% is deducted
from the assets of each of the variable investment options for
mortality and expense risks.
o Management fees and expenses are deducted from the assets of the
Series Fund and the Real Property Account.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MONTHLY CHARGES
o A charge for insurance protection is deducted monthly. Generally, this
charge is imposed in an amount equal to 0.05% of the Contract fund per
month. However, if the Contract fund falls so low as to make a charge
of 0.05% per month inadequate, the charge may be increased to the
amount permitted by the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality
Table ("1980 CSO Table").
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL CHARGES
o If the Contract is surrendered during the first 6 years, a contingent
deferred sales charge is assessed; the maximum contingent deferred
sales charge during the first year is 9% of the amount credited under
the Contract. Thereafter, this charge decreases by one percent per
year until, in the sixth Contract year, it is equal to 4% of the
amount credited under the Contract. In the seventh and subsequent
Contract years there is no charge. The sales charge will never be
greater than 9% of the initial premium payment.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the charges listed above, and in particular because of the
significant charges deducted upon early surrender, prospective purchasers should
purchase a Contract only if they intend and have the financial capability to
keep it in force for a substantial period.
Funds may be transferred among the subaccounts and to the fixed-rate option and
the Real Property Account up to four times each year. There are limitations on
transfers out of the fixed-rate option and into and out of the Real Property
Account. See TRANSFERS, page 8.
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 7.
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.
That document, together with its attached application, constitutes the entire
agreement between the owner and Pruco Life of New Jersey and should be retained
by the owner.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY, PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY
SINGLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT, AND THE
VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE
CONTRACT
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey") is a
stock life insurance company, organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of
New Jersey. It is licensed to sell life insurance and annuities only in the
States of New Jersey and New York. These Contracts are not offered in any state
in which the necessary approvals have not yet been obtained.
Pruco Life of New Jersey is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pruco Life Insurance
Company, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential, a mutual
insurance company founded in 1875 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. As
of December 31, 1995, The Prudential has invested over $127 million in Pruco
Life of New Jersey through its subsidiary Pruco Life Insurance Company in
connection with Pruco Life of New Jersey's organization and operation. The
Prudential intends from time to time to make additional capital contributions to
Pruco Life of New Jersey as needed to enable it to meet its reserve requirements
and expenses in connection with its business. However, The Prudential is under
no obligation to make such contributions and its assets do not back the benefits
payable under the Contract. Pruco Life of New Jersey's financial statements
begin on page B1 and should be considered only as bearing upon Pruco Life of New
Jersey's ability to meet its obligations under the Contracts.
PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY SINGLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT
The Pruco Life of New Jersey Single Premium Variable Life Account (the
"Account") was established on April 15, 1985 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey's other assets.
The obligations to Contract owners and beneficiaries arising under the Contract
are general corporate obligations of Pruco Life of New Jersey. Pruco Life of New
Jersey is also the legal owner of the assets in the Account. Pruco Life of New
Jersey 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey
conducts. In addition to these assets, the Account's assets may include funds
contributed by Pruco Life of New Jersey to commence operation of the Account and
may include accumulations of the charges Pruco Life of New Jersey makes against
the Account. From time to time these additional assets will be transferred to
Pruco Life of New Jersey's general account. Before making any such transfer,
Pruco Life of New Jersey 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey. There are currently fifteen 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 begin on page A1.
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. On
October 31, 1986, the Pruco Life Series Fund, Inc., an open-end, diversified
management investment company which sold its shares only to separate accounts of
Pruco Life of New Jersey and Pruco Life Insurance Company, was merged into the
Series Fund. Prior to that date, the Account invested only in shares of the
Pruco Life Series Fund, Inc. The Account will purchase and redeem shares from
the Series Fund at net asset value. Shares will be redeemed to the extent
necessary for Pruco Life of New Jersey 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.

<PAGE>
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 Prudential Jennison 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

Some investment management fees and expenses charged to the Series Fund may be
higher than those that were previously charged to the Pruco Life Series Fund,
Inc. (0.4%), in which the Account previously invested. For the Money Market,
Diversified Bond, Zero Coupon Bond 2000, Conservative Balanced, Flexible
Managed, and Equity Portfolios, Pruco Life of New Jersey will make daily
adjustments that will offset the effect on Contract owners of any higher
investment management fees and expenses charged against the Series Fund. Pruco
Life of New Jersey also makes, on a non-guaranteed basis, daily adjustments to
ensure that the portfolio expenses indirectly borne by a Contract owner
investing in the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolio 2005 will not exceed the investment
management fee. Without such adjustments the portfolio expenses indirectly borne
by a Contract owner, expressed as a percentage of the average daily net assets
by portfolio, would have been 0.44% for the Money Market Portfolio, 0.44% for
the Diversified Bond Portfolio, 0.48% for the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolio 2000,
0.49% for the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolio 2005, 0.58% for the Conservative
Balanced Portfolio, 0.63% for the Flexible Managed Portfolio, and 0.48% for the
Equity Portfolio during 1995. Pruco Life of New Jersey does not intend to
discontinue the adjustments for the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolio 2005 in the
future, although it retains the right to do so. No such offset will be made with
respect to the remaining portfolios.
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.

PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
The Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the "Real
Property Account") is a separate account of Pruco Life of New Jersey that,
through a general partnership formed by The Prudential and two of its
subsidiaries, invests primarily in income-producing real property such as office
buildings, shopping centers, agricultural land, hotels, apartments or industrial
properties. It also invests in mortgage loans and other real estate-related
investments, including sale-leaseback transactions. The objectives of the Real
Property Account and the partnership are to preserve and protect capital,
provide for compounding of income as a result of reinvestment of cash flow from
investments, and provide for increases over time in the amount of such income
through appreciation in the value of assets.
The partnership has entered into an investment management agreement with The
Prudential, under which The Prudential selects the properties and other
investments held by the partnership. The Prudential charges the partnership a
daily fee for investment management which amounts to 1.25% per year of the
average daily gross assets of the partnership.

DETAILED INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE CONTRACT
OWNERS
REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF A CONTRACT
For insureds below the age of 76, the minimum initial premium payment is
$10,000. For insureds aged 76 through 85, the minimum initial premium payment is
$50,000. Before issuing any Contract, Pruco Life of New Jersey requires evidence
of insurability which may include a medical examination. The Contract will only
be issued on insureds who are classified as standard risks following Pruco Life
of New Jersey's regular underwriting process. Insurance protection will begin on
the date the initial payment and completed application are received. On the date
the initial payment is received in the Pruco Life of New Jersey Home Office, the
amount credited under the Contract begins to vary to reflect the investment
results of the variable investment option[s] which have been chosen or the
interest rate declared for the fixed-rate option. If the application is not
approved, because the current underwriting requirements are not met, the premium
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, within 45 days after Part I of the application
for insurance is signed or within 10 days after Pruco Life of New Jersey mails
or delivers a Notice of Withdrawal Right, whichever is latest. 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey Home Office
specified in the Contract. A Contract returned according to this provision shall
be deemed void from the beginning. The Contract owner will then receive a refund
of all premium payments made, plus or minus any change due to investment
experience in the value of the invested portion of the premiums, 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 premium payments
made, with no adjustment for investment experience.
ALLOCATION OF THE PREMIUM PAYMENT
The Contract owner determines how the initial premium payment, after the
deduction for any applicable state and/or local premium taxes, will be allocated
among the subaccounts, the fixed-rate option, and the Real Property Account. The
owner may choose to allocate nothing to a particular subaccount or to the
fixed-rate option or the Real Property Account, but any allocation made must be
at least 10% and may not be a fractional percent.
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, but including the Real Property
Account. At issue, the minimum amount initially designated for transfer under
this feature must be the greater of $10,000 and 10% of the initial premium
payment. After issue, Pruco Life
7
<PAGE>
of New Jersey will accept an amount less than $10,000 provided it brings the
balance in any current Dollar Cost Averaging account up to $10,000. 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey'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, provided the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is
open on that date. If the NYSE is not open on the Monthly Date, the transfer
will take effect as of the end of the valuation period on the next day that the
NYSE is open. If the Monthly Date does not occur in a particular month (e.g.,
February 30), the transfer will take effect as of the end of the valuation
period on the last day of the month that the NYSE is open. 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.
TRANSFERS
The Contract owner may transfer the portion of the Contract fund allocated to
any of the subaccounts, the fixed-rate option or the Real Property Account
without charge and without any federal income tax liability. Transfers must be
in amounts of $300 or more or the total amount in the subaccounts, if less, and
must not cause the amount credited in any subaccount to be less than $300,
unless the entire amount in that subaccount is transferred. The Contract owner
may transfer amounts by proper written notice to a Pruco Life of New Jersey Home
Office, or by telephone, provided the Contract owner is enrolled to use the
Telephone Transfer System. A Contract owner will automatically be enrolled to
use the Telephone Transfer System unless the Contract owner elects not to have
this privilege. Pruco Life of New Jersey has adopted procedures designed to
ensure that requests by telephone are genuine. Pruco Life of New Jersey will not
be held liable for following telephone instructions that it reasonably believes
to be genuine. Pruco Life of New Jersey 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.
Transfers among subaccounts will take effect as of the end of the valuation
period in which a proper transfer request is received at a Pruco Life of New
Jersey Home Office. The owner may make up to four transfers a year, either among
the subaccounts or from the subaccounts to the fixed-rate option or the Real
Property Account.
In addition, the entire amount of the Contract fund in the subaccounts may be
transferred to the fixed-rate option at any time. A Contract owner who wishes to
convert his or her variable Contract to a fixed-benefit Contract must request a
complete transfer of funds to the fixed-rate option and should also change his
or her allocation instructions regarding any future premiums.
On the liquidation date of a Zero Coupon Bond Subaccount, all the shares held by
it in the corresponding portfolio of the Series Fund will be redeemed and the
proceeds of the redemption applicable to each Contract will be transferred to
the Money Market Subaccount unless the Contract owner directs that it be
transferred to another subaccount. Affected Contract owners will be notified in
writing and given the opportunity to transfer their proceeds to another
subaccount prior to the liquidation date. A transfer that occurs upon the
liquidation date of a Zero Coupon Bond Subaccount will not be counted as one of
the four permissible transfers in a Contract year.
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 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) $5,000. Such 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey Home Office. These
limits are subject to change in the future. Transfers to and from the Real
Property Account are subject to restrictions described in a separate prospectus
for that investment option.
SURRENDERS
The Contract owner may surrender the Contract at any time for its full cash
surrender value (which takes into account the contingent deferred sales charge,
if any, and any Contract debt). Neither partial surrenders nor Contract splits
are permitted. To surrender a Contract, the owner must deliver or mail it,
together with a written request in a form that meets Pruco Life of New Jersey's
needs, to a Pruco Life of New Jersey Home Office. The cash surrender value of
the surrendered Contract will be determined as of the date such notice is
received in the Home Office. See WHEN PROCEEDS ARE PAID, page 15. Surrender of
the Contract may have tax consequences. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS,
page 15.
8
<PAGE>
LOANS
The Contract owner may borrow from Pruco Life of New Jersey up to the "loan
value" of the Contract using only the Contract as security for the loan.
Contractually, loans will be made only on or after the first Contract
anniversary. However, as an administrative practice, Pruco Life of New Jersey
allows loans to be made during the first Contract year. This practice may
change. The loan value of a Contract is 90% of an amount equal to its Contract
fund, reduced by any charges due upon surrender. However, Pruco Life of New
Jersey will, on a non-contractual basis, increase the loan value by permitting a
Contract owner to borrow up to 100% of the portion of the Contract fund
attributable to the fixed-rate option (or any portion of the Contract fund
attributable to a prior loan supported by the fixed-rate option), reduced by any
charges due upon surrender. Loans will be treated as distributions for tax
purposes. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS, page 15.
When a loan is taken, the amounts allocated to the subaccount[s], the fixed-rate
option or the Real Property Account will be reduced by the amount of any loan.
The reduction will generally be made in the same proportions as the value in
each subaccount, the fixed-rate option, and the Real Property Account bears to
the total value of the Contract. As explained below, however, the principal
amount of the loan continues to be part of the Contract owner's total Contract
fund.
Pruco Life of New Jersey will charge interest at the rate of 6% per year on any
outstanding loan and, if the interest is not paid on the Contract anniversary,
the amount of the interest will be added to the loan. Although the amount of the
loan will be withdrawn from the variable investment options and the fixed-rate
option, Pruco Life of New Jersey will nevertheless credit the amount withdrawn
with interest daily at an effective annual rate of either 5.5% or 4%. The loan
plus the interest credited thereon to the Contract owner remain part of the
Contract fund. Determination of the applicable interest rate credited to the
Contract owner on the loan amount is made as follows. The loan amount is divided
into two parts, the "target loan amount" and the remainder. The target loan
amount for any Contract year is 10% of the initial premium for each Contract
year. Thus in the first year it is 10% of the premium payment, in the second
year 20% of the premium payment, and so on. Any borrowed amount that is part of
the target loan amount is credited with interest daily at an effective annual
rate of 5.5%. Amounts borrowed in excess of the target loan amount, and second
loans in any year, are credited daily with interest at an effective annual rate
of 4%. Thus the net cost of the loan to the Contract owner is about 0.5% per
year on the target loan amount and 2% per year on amounts in excess of the
target loan amount and on second loans in any year; however, since the amount
borrowed is not invested in the variable investment option[s] the cash surrender
value does not, to that extent, participate in either favorable or unfavorable
investment performance. Upon each Contract anniversary any outstanding loan up
to the new target loan amount will be credited interest at the 5.5% rate even if
some of that loan had been credited interest at 4% in the prior year.
Repayment of a loan does not restore the Contract fund or cash surrender value
to what it would have been had no loan been taken, since the loaned amount did
not reflect investment experience during the period the loan was outstanding.
This may also have an effect on the death benefit.
In addition, it should be recognized that a Contract loan will increase the
difference between the gross investment return in the underlying portfolio[s] of
the Series Fund and the net return in the selected subaccount[s]. This is
because the cost of insurance charge (see item 4 under CHARGES, below) is not
reduced by the making of a Contract loan while the amount in the subaccount[s]
from which such charges are deducted is reduced by the amount of the loan.
CHARGES
1. DEDUCTION FROM PREMIUM PAYMENTS. Upon purchase of this Contract, a premium
tax is generally payable. Based on the statutory rate, Pruco Life of New Jersey
will deduct the maximum amount of premium taxes applicable to the particular
Contract from the initial premium payment. These statutory rates vary by state
and local jurisdiction. The most common level of premium taxes is 2% of the
premium. The tax rates in those jurisdictions that impose a tax generally range
from 0.75% to 5%(but in some instances may exceed 5%). The amount remaining
after the deduction of premium taxes will be allocated to the investment
option[s] as the owner directs. However, if (a) the sum of the initial premiums
under the Contract and all other DISCOVERY Life Plus and DISCOVERY Life
Contracts issued on the same insured equal $50,000 or more, or (b) Contracts are
purchased on all children of a parent or all grandchildren of a grandparent,
each Contract has an initial premium of $25,000 or more and the total initial
premiums add up to $50,000 or more, Pruco Life of New Jersey will deduct for
initial and additional premium taxes only the portion of the applicable state
premium taxes which is in excess of 4% of the premium, and any applicable local
premium taxes. If total premiums under the Contract and all other DISCOVERY Life
Plus and DISCOVERY Life Contracts issued on the same insured equal or exceed
$50,000, any premium taxes previously deducted will be used to increase the
Contract fund on the most recent Contract. Thus, in many cases, if a Contract is
purchased with an initial premium of $50,000 or more, there will be no deduction
from the payment and the entire amount
9
<PAGE>
will be invested as the owner directs. During 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life of New
Jersey received no money in charges for payment of state premium taxes.
2. SALES CHARGES ON SURRENDERS. A contingent deferred sales charge may be
imposed upon surrender of this Contract. This charge compensates Pruco Life of
New Jersey for paying all of the expenses of selling and distributing the
Contracts, including sales commissions, printing of prospectuses, preparation of
sales literature, and other promotional activities. As stated earlier, on page
3, no sales charge will be made if the Contract is surrendered after the sixth
Contract year. If the Contract is surrendered in the first year, the charge will
be 9% of the amount credited under the Contract. For each year after the first
that the Contract is in effect, the contingent deferred sales charge as a
percentage of the Contract fund is reduced by 1% until it reaches 4% in year 6.
However, in no event will the sales charge be greater than 9% of the initial
premium payment. If there is an outstanding loan, the amount of any deferred
sales charge will be computed as if the loan had been repaid immediately before
the surrender. No deferred sales charge is applicable to the death benefit, no
matter when that may become payable. During 1995 and 1994, Pruco Life of New
Jersey received a total of $556 and $343,915, respectively, in sales charges on
surrenders of the Contracts.
3. ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE. There is a charge imposed to reimburse Pruco Life of
New Jersey for the expenses it incurs in administering the Contracts, which
includes such things as underwriting the Contract, conducting any medical
examinations, establishing and maintaining records, and providing reports to
Contract owners. This charge will be assessed by deducting, from the assets of
each of the variable investment options, a percentage of those assets equivalent
to an effective annual rate of up to 0.35% (.00095723%, daily). During 1995 and
1994, Pruco Life of New Jersey received a total of approximately $149,296 and
$148,697, respectively, in annual administrative charges under the Contracts.
This administrative charge is guaranteed never to be increased above an
effective annual rate of 0.35% over the life of the Contracts and is intended to
cover the average anticipated administrative expenses to be incurred over the
periods these Contracts are in force. This fee contains no element of
anticipated profit. Because this administrative charge is a percentage of
assets, however, there is no necessary relationship between the amount of the
charge imposed on a particular Contract and the amount of administrative
expenses that may be attributable to that Contract.
4. CHARGE FOR INSURANCE PROTECTION. Immediately after the Contract is issued the
amount of insurance payable upon death of the insured (the face amount) will be
substantially higher than the initial premium payment. As the insured grows
older, and if investment results (or interest credited) have been reasonably
favorable, the difference between the Contract fund and the amount payable to
the beneficiary in the event of the insured's death will become smaller. But the
death benefit will always be higher than the Contract fund. To enable Pruco Life
of New Jersey to pay this additional amount, it makes a monthly charge
commencing on the Contract date, the date the Contract is issued. The National
Association of Insurance Commissioners publishes mortality tables from which it
can be determined what an appropriate monthly charge for this purpose should be,
depending upon the insured's age and sex (except where unisex rates apply). One
set of such tables is known as the 1980 CSO Table. Although Pruco Life of New
Jersey has the contractual right to charge maximum cost of insurance rates,
based on the 1980 CSO Table, the actual cost of insurance charge will generally
be lower than that specified by the 1980 CSO Table. Except as explained in the
next paragraph, the charge will be imposed on each of the Contract's Monthly
dates (i.e., the Contract date and the same day of each succeeding month) in an
amount equal to 0.05% per month of the Contract fund on such dates. The sum of
12 monthly mortality charges is likely to be between 0.6% and 0.65% per Contract
year of the Contract fund. The exact percentage is uncertain because the
Contract fund varies in amount daily. If the Contract fund remains level
throughout the entire Contract year, the sum of the charges would be 0.6% of the
Contract fund. If the Contract fund declined uniformly throughout the year, the
sum would be less than 0.6%. If the Contract fund increased uniformly throughout
the year, the sum would be greater than 0.6%. (For example, at a 12% gross rate
of return, the sum of the monthly charges would be approximately 0.65%.)
The monthly insurance charge generally will be assessed at a rate of 0.05% per
month of the Contract fund, unless as a result of very unfavorable investment
experience, the Contract fund falls so low as to make a monthly charge based
upon a rate of 0.05% per month inadequate. In that event, the charge may be
increased to the amount permitted by the 1980 CSO Table. This higher charge
would generally be assessed only when the Contract fund is at least 40% lower
than that which would exist were a net rate of 6% earned in the applicable
variable investment option[s] and maximum mortality charges based on the 1980
CSO Table deducted. In practice, this will require that the return average
somewhat less than 6% for several years or that a substantial depreciation in
the Contract fund occur in a particular year. For example, for a male who buys a
Contract at age 35, investment results could average a net return of 2.22% per
year for about 19 years before Pruco Life of New Jersey will make a higher cost
of insurance charge. As another example, for a male who buys a Contract at age
40 and experiences an average net return of 6% per year for 8 years, it would
take a loss of about 43% in the ninth year (which could
10
<PAGE>
occur if the assets were held in the Equity Subaccount and there was a
substantial market drop) in order to bring about an increase in the insurance
charge.
5. CHARGES FOR ASSUMING MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISKS. Pruco Life of New Jersey
makes a charge for assuming the risk that its estimates of longevity and of the
expenses it expects to incur, over the lengthy periods that this Contract may be
in effect--estimates that are the basis for the level of the other charges it
makes under the Contracts--will turn out to be incorrect. The mortality and
expense risk charge will be made by deducting daily, from the assets of each of
the subaccounts and/or the Real Property Account, a percentage of those assets
equivalent to an effective annual rate of up to 0.9% (.00245475%, daily). During
1995 and 1994, Pruco Life of New Jersey received a total of approximately
$382,860 and $381,325, respectively, in mortality and expense risk charges under
the Contracts.
6. EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE SERIES FUND. Subject to certain caps and offsets,
the charges and expenses of the Series Fund 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 5. 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. Higher charges and expenses are incurred if the Real Property
Account is selected, as described in the attached prospectus for the Real
Property Account.
7. TOTAL CHARGES AND CONTRACT VALUES. As may be seen from the foregoing
description, the amount credited under the Contract at the outset of the
Contract will be less than the initial premium payment by the amount of the
premium tax payable, unless the initial premium payment satisfies Pruco Life of
New Jersey's standards for elimination or reduction of the premium tax charge as
explained in item 1 above. Thereafter, assuming a total Series Fund expense
ratio of 0.51% (taking into account any applicable offsets described under THE
PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC. on page 5), a cost of insurance charge of 0.05% per
month and no Contract debt, the amount credited under the Contract will vary at
a rate that is approximately 2.41% to 2.36% lower than the gross investment
return of the underlying portfolio of the Series Fund in which the assets held
under the Contract are invested.
AMOUNT OF LIFE INSURANCE
As stated earlier, when the Contract is issued Pruco Life of New Jersey will
determine what the initial amount of life insurance will be for the initial
premium payment. That amount will be shown on the cover page of the Contract and
is called the "face amount". The face amount will be calculated by Pruco Life of
New Jersey as the amount of whole life insurance that can be provided for the
insured by the initial premium, after the deduction of any applicable state and
local premium taxes. This calculation is based on the 1980 CSO Table and an
interest rate of at least 6%. The amount payable to the beneficiary upon the
insured's death will never be less than the face amount as long as the Contract
remains in force, except that it will be reduced by the amount of any
outstanding loan plus interest. But the Contract's death benefit may be higher
than the face amount, depending upon the length of time the Contract is in force
and the Contract's investment results.
1. SOME TYPICAL FACE AMOUNTS. The following table shows for insureds of various
ages what the face amount of insurance will be for an initial premium payment of
$10,000 or $50,000. The table assumes that at issuance the fixed-rate option is
not being credited more than 6% (if a higher rate is being credited under the
fixed-rate option, the face amount will be slightly higher) and, for the $10,000
premium payment, assumes a total state and local premium tax rate of 2%.

In some states the figures in the above table for males will apply to both males
and females. The table does not apply to certain Contracts issued to employers
and employee organizations based on unisex rates. See LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
RELATING TO SEX-DISTINCT PREMIUMS AND BENEFITS, page 18.
2. INCREASE IN DEATH BENEFIT DUE TO FAVORABLE INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. It is
likely that the amount of insurance will not change for several years after the
Contract date. Then, if investment experience is sufficiently favorable (by
which is generally meant an average annual net return of greater than 6%), the
death benefit may increase. The Contract provides that the death benefit will
never be less than the face amount or a stated multiple (which changes every
year with the attained age of the insured) of the Contract fund. Representative
multiples for insureds are shown in the table below.
----------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFIT IS NO LESS THAN
AGE OF INSURED THE CONTRACT FUND TIMES THE

----------------------------------------------------------
Thus, for a male of 55 who purchased a Contract with a face amount of $133,307
when he was 35 for a premium payment of $20,000, if the Contract fund has
increased to $122,160 due to a gross return in the selected Series Fund
portfolios of 12%, the death benefit payable will be $195,456 at the end of 20
years, based on the assumptions reflected in the table on page T1. If the
Contract fund were to drop subsequently because of unfavorable investment
results, the death benefit would also drop, but not below the face amount. In
some states the figures in the above table for males will apply to both males
and females. The table does not apply to certain Contracts issued to employers
and employee organizations based on unisex rates. See LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
RELATING TO SEX-DISTINCT PREMIUMS AND BENEFITS, page 18.
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
If the investment results of a Contract's variable investment option[s] have
been so unfavorable that the net cash surrender value on any Monthly date has
decreased to zero or less, the Contract will go into default.
Should this happen, Pruco Life of New Jersey will send the Contract owner a
notice of default setting forth the payment necessary to keep the Contract in
force. This payment must be received at the Pruco Life of New Jersey Home Office
within the 61 day grace period after the notice of default is mailed or the
Contract will lapse. A Contract that lapses with an outstanding Contract loan
may have tax consequences. See TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS on page 15.
A Contract that has lapsed may be reinstated within 3 years after the date of
default unless the Contract has been surrendered for its cash surrender value.
To reinstate a lapsed Contract, Pruco Life of New Jersey requires renewed
evidence of insurability, and submission of certain payments due under the
Contract.
A Contract that has lapsed has no value and provides no benefits.
ADDITIONAL PREMIUM PAYMENTS
After the Contract has been in force for several years, the Contract owner may
be allowed the option of paying additional premium payments in order to increase
his or her Contract fund. Such premium payments are allowed when they will not
cause the Contract to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes and
will not then increase the amount of insurance. Upon request, Pruco Life of New
Jersey will tell the Contract owner whether an additional premium payment can be
made and what its maximum amount is. If the owner does make an additional
premium payment, the amount of that payment, less any applicable premium taxes
which may be payable, will increase the Contract fund but not the death benefit.
These premium payments will not increase the maximum possible deferred sales
charge. An additional premium payment will not be accepted by Pruco Life of New
Jersey
12
<PAGE>
if it would, through the application of the multiples shown on page 11,
immediately result in an increase in the death benefit.
Several factors affect when additional premium payments may be made. For
example, the Contract years in which a female issue age 55 may make additional
payments depend upon investment performance. Based upon a hypothetical gross
annual rate of return of 8% in the selected Series Fund portfolio[s], and upon
the assumptions reflected in the table on page T1, an additional payment may
first be made in year 12, and additional payments may be made as late as year
20.
LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT
Contract applicants may elect to add the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT(sm) to their
Contracts at issue, subject to Pruco Life of New Jersey's receipt of
satisfactory evidence of insurability. The benefit may vary state-by-state. It
can generally be added only to Contracts with face amounts of $50,000 or more or
when the aggregate face amounts of the insured's eligible contracts equal
$50,000 or more.
The LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT allows the Contract owner to elect to receive an
accelerated payment of all or part of the Contract's death benefit, adjusted to
reflect current value, at a time when certain special needs exist. The adjusted
death benefit will always be less than the death benefit, but will generally be
greater than the Contract's cash surrender value. Depending upon state
regulatory approval, one or both of the following options may be available. A
Pruco Life of New Jersey representative should be consulted as to whether
additional options may be available.
TERMINAL ILLNESS OPTION. This option is available if the insured is diagnosed as
terminally ill with a life expectancy of 6 months or less. When satisfactory
evidence is provided, Pruco Life of New Jersey will provide an accelerated
payment of the portion of the death benefit selected by the Contract owner as a
LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT. The Contract owner may (1) elect to receive the benefit in
a single sum or (2) receive equal monthly payments for 6 months. If the insured
dies before all of the payments have been made, the present value of the
remaining payments will be paid to the beneficiary designated in the Living
Needs Benefit claim form in a single sum.
NURSING HOME OPTION. This option is available after the insured has been
confined to an eligible nursing home for 6 months or more. When satisfactory
evidence is provided, including certification by a licensed physician, that the
insured is expected to remain in the nursing home until death, Pruco Life of New
Jersey will provide an accelerated payment of the portion of the death benefit
selected by the Contract owner as a LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT. The Contract owner may
(1) elect to receive the benefit in a single sum or (2) receive equal monthly
payments for a specified number of years (not more than 10 nor less than 2),
depending upon the age of the insured. If the insured dies before all of the
payments have been made, the present value of the remaining payments will be
paid to the beneficiary designated in the Living Needs Benefit claim form in a
single sum.
All or part of the Contract's death benefit may be accelerated under the Living
Needs Benefit. If the benefit is only partially accelerated, a death benefit of
at least $25,000 must remain under the Contract. Pruco Life of New Jersey
reserves the right to determine the minimum amount that may be accelerated.
The LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT is available only to the extent regulatory approval has
been obtained. If desired by a Contract owner, the benefit must be requested on
the Contract's application. There is no charge for adding the benefit to the
Contract. However, an administrative charge (not to exceed $150) will be made at
the time the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT is paid.
No benefit will be payable if the Contract owner is required to elect it in
order to meet the claims of creditors or to obtain a government benefit. Pruco
Life of New Jersey can furnish details about the amount of LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT
that is available to an eligible Contract owner under a particular Contract, and
the adjusted premium payments that would be in effect if less than the entire
death benefit is accelerated.
The Contract owner should consider whether adding this settlement option is
appropriate in his or her given situation. Adding the LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT to
the Contract has no adverse consequences; however, electing to use it could.
Contract owners should consult a qualified tax advisor before electing to
receive this benefit. Unlike a death benefit received by a beneficiary after the
death of an insured, receipt of a LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT payment may give rise to
a federal or state income tax. Receipt of a LIVING NEEDS BENEFIT payment may
also affect a Contract owner's eligibility for certain government benefits or
entitlements.
ILLUSTRATIONS OF CASH SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH BENEFITS, AND ACCUMULATED
PREMIUMS
The tables in this prospectus have been prepared to help show how values under
this Contract change with investment performance of the Account. The tables
assume that no portion of the Contract fund is allocated to the fixed-rate
option or the Real Property Account. The tables illustrate how cash surrender
values (reflecting the deduction of deferred sales charges, if any) and death
benefits under Contracts issued on an insured of a given age
13
<PAGE>
would vary over time if the return on the assets held in the Series Fund
portfolios were a uniform, gross, after tax, annual rate of 0%, 4%, 8%, and 12%.
The death benefits and cash surrender values would be different from those shown
if the returns averaged 0%, 4%, 8%, and 12% but fluctuated over and under those
averages throughout the years. For the hypothetical returns of 0% and 4%, the
tables also show when the Contract would go into default, at which time
additional payments would be needed to keep it in force.
The amounts shown for the death benefit and cash surrender value as of each
Contract anniversary reflect the fact that the net investment return on the
assets held in the subaccounts is lower than the gross after tax return of the
portfolios. This is because these tables assume a total Series Fund expense
ratio of 0.51% (taking into account the offsets described under THE PRUDENTIAL
SERIES FUND, INC. on page 5) and also reflect the daily charge to the Account
for the cost of administration, which is equivalent to an effective annual
charge of 0.35%, and the daily charge to the Account for assuming mortality and
expense risks, which is equivalent to an effective annual charge of 0.9%. The
actual fees and expenses of the portfolios associated with a particular Contract
may be more or less than 0.51% and will depend on which subaccounts are
selected. Based on the above assumptions, gross annual rates of return of 0%,
4%, 8%, and 12% thus correspond in the tables to approximate net annual rates of
return of -1.76%, 2.24%, 6.24%, and 10.24%.
The tables on pages T1 and T3 also reflect the fact that Pruco Life of New
Jersey generally makes its monthly charge for providing insurance protection at
an amount equal to 0.05% per month (approximately 0.6% to 0.65% per year) of the
assets in the subaccounts attributable to the Contract, even though it has the
contractual right to charge a higher amount. Where the amount credited under a
Contract falls to such a level as to make this monthly charge inadequate in
Pruco Life of New Jersey's judgment (i.e., where the Contract fund value is at
least 40% below that which would exist were a net rate of 6% earned in the
applicable subaccounts and maximum mortality charges deducted), Pruco Life of
New Jersey will deduct the maximum monthly mortality charge. See CHARGE FOR
INSURANCE PROTECTION, page 10. The 0% and 4% columns in the tables on pages T1
and T3 reflect the deduction of these larger mortality charges in later years in
accordance with this standard. The tables on pages T2 and T4 reflect the
deduction of the maximum cost of insurance charge at all times, even though
Pruco Life of New Jersey does not currently intend to charge the maximum
contractual cost of insurance rates other than under the circumstances where the
Contract fund value falls to a specified level, as explained above. All of the
tables reflect the deduction of a sales charge in the calculation of the cash
surrender value during the first 6 Contract years.
The tables also reflect the fact that no charges for federal or state income
taxes are currently made against the Account. If such a charge is made in the
future, it will take a higher gross rate of return than it does now to produce
the net after-tax returns shown in the tables.

(1) Illustrated values assume no deduction for state and/or local premium taxes,
no Contract loan, and the deduction of maximum monthly cost of insurance
charges. The cash surrender values reflect the contingent deferred sales
charges applicable to surrenders within the first 6 Contract years. The face
amount is based upon the assumption that at issuance the fixed-rate option
is not being credited more than 6%.
(2) Based on a gross return of 0% and the deduction of maximum cost of insurance
charges, the Contract would go into default in policy year 18 unless an
additional premium payment was made. Based on a gross return of 4% and the
deduction of maximum cost of insurance charges, the Contract would go into
default in policy year 24 unless an additional premium payment was made.
THE HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT RATES OF RETURN SHOWN ABOVE AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED A REPRESENTATION OF
PAST OR FUTURE INVESTMENT RATES OF RETURN. ACTUAL RATES OF RETURN MAY BE MORE OR
LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN AND WILL DEPEND ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS INCLUDING THE
INVESTMENT ALLOCATIONS MADE BY AN OWNER, PREVAILING INTEREST RATES, AND RATES OF
INFLATION. THE DEATH BENEFIT AND CASH SURRENDER VALUE FOR A CONTRACT WOULD BE
DIFFERENT FROM THOSE SHOWN IF THE ACTUAL RATES OF RETURN AVERAGED 0%, 4%, 8%,
AND 12% OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS BUT ALSO FLUCTUATED ABOVE OR BELOW THOSE AVERAGES
FOR INDIVIDUAL CONTRACT YEARS. NO REPRESENTATIONS CAN BE MADE BY PRUCO LIFE OF
NEW JERSEY OR THE SERIES FUND THAT THESE HYPOTHETICAL RATES OF RETURN CAN BE
ACHIEVED FOR ANY ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

WHEN PROCEEDS ARE PAID
Pruco Life of New Jersey will generally pay any death benefit, cash surrender
value or loan proceeds within 7 days after receipt at a Pruco Life of New Jersey
Home Office of all the documents required for such a payment. Other than the
death benefit, which is determined as of the date of death, the amount will be
determined as of the end of the valuation period in which the necessary
documents are received. However, Pruco Life of New Jersey may delay payment of
proceeds from the subaccount[s] and the portion of the death benefit due under
the Contract in excess of the face amount 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 cash surrender value allocated to the
fixed-rate option, Pruco Life of New Jersey expects to pay the cash surrender
value promptly upon request. However, Pruco Life of New Jersey has the right to
delay payment of such cash surrender value for up to 6 months (or a shorter
period if required by applicable law). Pruco Life of New Jersey 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).
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
Pruco Life of New Jersey 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.
TAX TREATMENT OF CONTRACT BENEFITS
Each prospective purchaser is urged to consult a qualified tax advisor. The
following discussion is not intended as tax advice, and it is not a complete
statement of what the effect of federal income taxes will be under all
circumstances. Rather, it provides information about how Pruco Life of New
Jersey believes the current laws apply in the most commonly occurring
circumstances. There is no guarantee, however, that the current federal income
tax laws, regulations or interpretations will not change.
TREATMENT AS LIFE INSURANCE. The Contract will be treated as "life insurance,"
as long as it satisfies certain definitional tests set forth in Section 7702 of
the Code and as long as the underlying investments for the Contract satisfies
diversification requirements under Section 817(h) of the Code. (For further
detail on diversification requirements, see DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES
in the attached prospectus for the Series Fund.)
Pruco Life of New Jersey believes that the Contract meets these definitional and
diversification requirements and accordingly will be treated as life insurance
for tax purposes. This means that: (1) except as noted below, the Contract owner
should not be taxed on any part of the Contract fund, including additions
attributable to interest, dividends or appreciation, until amounts are
distributed under the Contract; and (2) the death benefit should be excludible
from the gross income of the beneficiary under Section 101(a) of the Code.
However, Section 7702 of the Code which defines life insurance for tax purposes
gives the Secretary of the Treasury authority to prescribe regulations to carry
out the purposes of the Section. In this regard, proposed regulations governing
mortality charges were issued in 1991 and proposed regulations under Sections
101, 7702 and 7702A governing the treatment of life insurance policies that
provide accelerated death benefits were issued in 1992. None of these proposed
regulations has yet been finalized. Additional regulations under Section 7702
may also be promulgated in the future. Moreover, 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 rulings under Section 817(d) relating to the
definition of a variable contract.
Pruco Life of New Jersey intends to comply with final regulations issued under
Sections 7702 and 817. Therefore, it reserves the right to make such changes as
it deems necessary to assure that the Contract continues to qualify as life
insurance for tax purposes. Any such changes will apply uniformly to affected
Contract owners and will be made only after advance written notice to affected
Contract owners.
PRE-DEATH DISTRIBUTIONS. Section 7702A of the Code provides rules regarding the
federal income tax treatment of loans and other pre-death distributions from the
Contract if issued after June 20, 1988. It provides that, with
15
<PAGE>
respect to life insurance policies issued after June 20, 1988, which, like the
Contract, provide for the payment of premiums faster than would be allowed under
a policy providing for paid-up insurance after the payment of seven level annual
premiums: (1) policy loans are treated as distributions; (2) all distributions
from the policy before the death of the insured are generally includible in
gross income on an income first basis (i.e., distributions are includible in
income to the extent the Contract fund exceeds the gross premiums paid for the
Contract increased by the amount of any loans previously includible in income
and reduced by any untaxed amounts previously received other than the amount of
any loans excludible from income). In addition, pre-death distributions from
such Contracts (including full surrenders) will be subject to a penalty of 10
percent of the amount includible in income unless the amount is distributed on
or after age 59 1/2, on account of the taxpayer's disability, or as a life
annuity. It is presently unclear how the penalty tax provisions apply to
Contracts owned by nonnatural persons such as corporations.
Under certain circumstances, Modified Endowment Contracts issued during any
calendar year will be treated as a single contract for purposes of applying the
above rules.
Section 7702A does not change the treatment of death benefit proceeds under the
Contract. Accordingly, as stated previously, such amounts are excludible from
the gross income of the beneficiary. Also, Section 7702A does not change the
general rule that a Contract owner is not taxed on any part of the Contract
fund, including additions attributable to interest, dividends or appreciation,
unless amounts are distributed.
WITHHOLDING. The taxable portion of any amounts received under the Contract will
be subject to withholding to meet federal income tax obligations if the Contract
owner fails to elect that no taxes be withheld or in certain other
circumstances. Contract owners who do not provide a social security number or
other taxpayer identification number will not be permitted to elect out of
withholding. All recipients of such amounts may be subject to penalties under
the estimated tax payment rules if withholding and estimated tax payments are
not sufficient.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS. Transfer of the Contract to a new owner or assignment
of the Contract may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances. In the
case of a transfer of the contract for a valuable consideration, the death
benefit may be subject to federal income taxes under section 101(a) of the Code.
In addition, 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.
The individual situation of each owner or beneficiary will determine the federal
estate taxes and the state and local estate, inheritance, and other taxes due if
the owner or insured dies.
Deductions for interest paid or accrued on Contract debt or on other loans
incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Contract will be disallowed under
Section 264 of the Code. The Congress is also considering legislation to deny
interest deductions generally for loans on business-owned policies. For
business-owned life insurance, Section 264(a)(1) of the Code also precludes
business Contract owners from deducting premium payments. The code also imposes
an indirect tax upon additions to the Contract fund or the receipt of death
benefits under business-owned life insurance policies under certain
circumstances by way of the corporate alternative minimum tax.
TAXES ON PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY. 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 Pruco Life of New
Jersey. No charge is currently being made to the Account for company federal
income taxes. Pruco Life of New Jersey 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 Account.
Under current laws Pruco Life of New Jersey may incur state and local taxes (in
addition to premium taxes). At present, these other taxes are not significant
and they are not charged against the Contracts or the Account. If there is a
material change in applicable state or local tax laws, the imposition of any
such taxes upon Pruco Life of New Jersey that are attributable to the Account
may result in a corresponding charge against the Account.
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 PRUCO
LIFE OF NEW JERSEY 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.
16
<PAGE>
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
Pruco Life of New Jersey's general assets. Sometimes this is referred to as
Pruco Life of New Jersey's general account, which consists of all assets owned
by Pruco Life of New Jersey other than those in the Account and in other
separate accounts that have been or may be established by Pruco Life of New
Jersey. Subject to applicable law, Pruco Life of New Jersey has sole discretion
over the investment of the assets of the general account, and Contract owners do
not share in the investment experience of those assets. Instead, Pruco Life of
New Jersey guarantees that the part of the Contract fund allocated to the
fixed-rate option will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate that
Pruco Life of New Jersey 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 third Contract
anniversary following the date of the allocation. Thereafter, a new crediting
rate will be declared each year, and will remain in effect for the calendar
year. Pruco Life of New Jersey reserves the right to change this practice. Pruco
Life of New Jersey is not obligated to credit interest at a 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-rate option are subject to strict limits. (See
TRANSFERS, page 8). The payment of any cash surrender value attributable to the
fixed-rate option may be delayed up to 6 months (see WHEN PROCEEDS ARE PAID,
15).
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. Pruco
Life of New Jersey 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,
Pruco Life of New Jersey 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey 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
regulations, or their current interpretation, change so as to permit Pruco Life
of New Jersey 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey instructions will be
determined as of the record date chosen by the Board of Directors of the Series
Fund. Pruco Life of New Jersey will furnish Contract owners with proper forms
and proxies to enable them to give these instructions. Pruco Life of New Jersey
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.
Pruco Life of New Jersey may, if required by state insurance regulations,
disregard voting instructions if such instructions would require shares to be
voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment objectives
of one or more of the Series Fund's portfolios, or to approve or disapprove an
investment advisory contract for the Series Fund. In addition, Pruco Life of New
Jersey itself may disregard voting instructions that would require changes in
the investment policy or investment advisor of one or more of the Series Fund's
portfolios, provided that Pruco Life of New Jersey reasonably disapproves such
changes in accordance with applicable federal regulations. If Pruco Life of New
Jersey does disregard voting instructions, it will advise Contract owners of
that action and its reasons for such action in the next annual or semi-annual
report to Contract owners.
17
<PAGE>
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.
The maximum commission that will be paid to the representative is 3% of the
premium received, and the amount paid to the broker-dealer to cover both the
individual representative's commission and other distribution expenses will not
exceed 5.5% of the premium. The representative may be required to return all of
the first year commission if the Contract is not continued through the first
year. 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. Pruco Life of New Jersey 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 Pruco Life of New Jersey's surplus, which may include the amounts
derived from the mortality and expense risk charge, described in Item 5 under
CHARGES, page 9.
SUBSTITUTION OF SERIES FUND SHARES
Although Pruco Life of New Jersey 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, Pruco Life of New Jersey 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.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO SEX-DISTINCT PREMIUMS AND BENEFITS
The Contract generally employs mortality tables that distinguish between males
and females. Thus, initial amounts of insurance that a given premium will buy,
cost of insurance charges, and benefits under Contracts issued on males and
females of the same age will generally differ. However, in those states that
have adopted regulations prohibiting sex-distinct insurance rates, initial
amounts of insurance, cost of insurance charges and benefits will be based on
male mortality tables whether the insured is male or female. In addition,
employers and employee organizations considering purchase of a Contract should
consult their legal advisors to determine whether purchase of a Contract based
on sex-distinct actuarial tables is consistent with Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 or other applicable law. Pruco Life of New Jersey may offer
the Contract with unisex mortality rates to such prospective purchasers.
OTHER GENERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS
BENEFICIARY. The beneficiary is designated and named in the application by the
Contract owner. Thereafter, the owner may change the beneficiary, provided it is
in accordance with the terms of the Contract. Should the insured die with no
surviving beneficiary, the insured's estate will become the beneficiary.
INCONTESTABILITY. After the Contract has been in force during the insured's
lifetime for 2 years from the Contract date, Pruco Life of New Jersey will not
contest its liability under the Contract in accordance with its terms.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX. If the insured's stated age or sex (except where
unisex rates apply) or both are incorrect in the Contract, Pruco Life of New
Jersey will adjust the benefits payable, as required by law, to reflect what the
premium would have purchased for the correct age and sex.
SUICIDE EXCLUSION. Generally, if the insured, whether sane or insane, dies by
suicide within 2 years from the Contract date, Pruco Life of New Jersey will pay
no more under the Contract than the sum of the premiums paid.
ASSIGNMENT. This Contract may not be assigned if such assignment would violate
any federal, state or local law or regulation. Generally, the Contract may not
be assigned to another insurance company without Pruco Life's consent. Pruco
Life of New Jersey assumes no responsibility for the validity or sufficiency of
any assignment, and it will not be obligated to comply with any assignment
unless it has received a copy at one of its Home Offices.
SETTLEMENT OPTIONS. The Contract grants to most owners, or to the beneficiary, a
wide variety of optional ways of receiving Contract proceeds, other than in a
lump sum. Any Pruco Life of New Jersey representative authorized to sell this
Contract can explain these options upon request.

STATE REGULATION
Pruco Life of New Jersey is subject to regulation and supervision by the
Department of Insurance of the State of New Jersey, which periodically examines

PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY SINGLE PREMIUM VARIABLE LIFE ACCOUNT
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994
NOTE 1: GENERAL
Pruco Life of New Jersey Single Premium Variable Life Account (the "Account")
was established on April 15, 1985 under New Jersey law as a separate investment
account of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New
Jersey") which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pruco Life Insurance Company (an
Arizona domiciled company) and is indirectly wholly-owned by The Prudential
Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential"). The assets of the Account are
segregated from Pruco Life of New Jersey's other assets.
The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a unit investment trust. There are sixteen 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.
The Zero Coupon 1995 subaccount was liquidated on November 15, 1995. On that
date, all shares held in the corresponding portfolio of the Series Fund were
redeemed and the redemption proceeds were transferred to the Money Market
subaccount, unless otherwise directed, in accordance with the prospectus.
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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993
1. GENERAL
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (the Company), a stock life
insurance company domiciled in the State of New Jersey, is an indirect
subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (The Prudential),
a mutual life insurance company, and a direct subsidiary of Pruco Life
Insurance Company (Pruco Life), a stock life insurance company domiciled in
the State of Arizona. The Company markets individual life insurance and
single-pay deferred annuities through The Prudential's sales force.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The 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 the National
Associations of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and their respective
domiciliary home state insurance departments. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices include publications of the NAIC, state laws,
regulations and general administrative rules. Permitted statutory
accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so
prescribed.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1994 financial
statements and footnotes to conform to the 1995 presentation. Included
in the Statement of Operations are certain items which, under statutory
accounting practices, are charged or credited directly to surplus.
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, 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").
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.
Management has used estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the
financial statements that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The following is a reconciliation of Statutory Net Income with net
income per the financial statements.

B. FUTURE APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
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 not allowing such financial
statements to be referred to as having been prepared in accordance with
B-3
<PAGE>
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993
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 judgement. The Company is assessing
the impact of Interpretation No. 40 on its consolidated financial
statements, such effort has not been completed. Management currently
believes surplus will increase significantly.
C. INVESTMENTS
Fixed maturities are stated at amortized cost. Short-term investments
are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Policy loans are stated primarily at unpaid principal balances.
Realized investment gains and losses are reported based on specific
identification of the investments sold.
D. 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 7% of individual life insurance reserves are determined
using the net level premium method, or by using the greater of net
level premium reserve or the policy cash value. About 93% 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.
Reserves for deferred individual annuity contracts are determined using
the Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM) and the Net
Level Premium Method.
For life insurance and annuities, unpaid claims include estimates of
both death benefits on reported claims and those which are incurred but
not reported.
Reserves for other deposit funds or other liabilities with life
contingencies reflect the contract deposit account or experience
accumulation for the contract and any purchased annuity reserves.
E. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED EXPENSES
Premium revenues are recognized as income over the premium paying
period of the related policy. Annuity considerations are recognized as
revenue when received. Expenses, including new business acquisition
costs such as commissions, are charged to operations as incurred.
F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Company is a member of a group of affiliated companies which join
in filing a consolidated federal tax return. Pursuant to a tax
allocation agreement, current tax liabilities are determined for
individual companies based upon their separate return basis taxable
income. Members with taxable income incur an amount in lieu of the
separate return basis federal tax. Members with a loss for tax purposes
recognize a current benefit in proportion to the amount of their losses
utilized in computing consolidated taxable income. Differences between
estimated liabilities and actual payments are included in the current
year's operations as an adjustment to the provision in lieu of income
taxes. For the year 1993, the Company was allocated a portion of the
consolidated income tax liability attributable to Section 809 in the
Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to as the "Equity Tax"). Since
1994, the Company has no longer been allocated this Equity Tax.
Taxes on the Company are calculated under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 which provides that life insurance companies be taxed on their
gain from operations after dividends to policyholders. In calculating

G. ASSET VALUATION RESERVE AND INTEREST MAINTENANCE RESERVE
The Asset Valuation Reserve (AVR) and the Interest Maintenance Reserve
(IMR) are required for life insurance companies under NAIC regulations.
The AVR is calculated based on a statutory formula and designed to
mitigate the effects of valuation and credit-related losses on
unassigned surplus.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993
The components of AVR at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
FIXED MATURITIES
($000,s)
----------------
Beginning of Year 1994 -- AVR .................... $ 5,306
Additions ........................................ 206
Deductions ....................................... -
-------
End of Year 1994 -- AVR .......................... $ 5,512

Additions ........................................ 237
Deductions ....................................... -
=======
End of Year 1995 -- AVR .......................... $ 5,749
=======
The IMR captures net realized capital gains and losses resulting from
changes in the general level of interest rates. These gains and losses
are amortized into investment income over the expected remaining life
of the investment sold. The IMR balance was $8.2 million, and $ 6.9
million at December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively. "Net realized
investment gains/(losses)" of $2.3 million and $(5.5) million were
deferred in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Amortized into "Net investment
income" were $1.1 million and $2.0 million of IMR for the year ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
H. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Separate accounts represent funds for which investment income and
investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is
borne by, the policyholders. Assets are carried at market value.
Deposits to such accounts are included in revenues with a corresponding
liability increase included in benefits and expenses. The assets of
each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that
arise out of any other business of the Company. Consequently,
management believes that is appropriate to combine Separate Account
policyholder net investment income and net realized and unrealized
capital gains/(losses) along with benefit payments and change in
reserves in "Current and future benefits and claims". Policyholder net
investment income and net realized and unrealized gains/(losses) for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $152 million,
$(7) million and $86 million, respectively.

Proceeds from the sale/maturity of fixed maturities during 1995, 1994 and
1993 were $553.7 million, $705.9 million and $443.9 million, respectively.
Gross gains of $6.8 million, $3.3 million and $13.4 million and gross
losses of $3.2 million, $11.6 million and $.2 million were realized on
those sales during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company invests in both investment grade and non-investment grade
securities. The Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC rates fixed
maturities held by insurers (SVO rated securities accounted for
approximately 94.3% and 99.0% of the Company's total fixed maturities
balances at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively) 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. At December 31, 1995 the Company held two securities at statement
value of $4.5 million with a NAIC rating of 4. At December 31, 1994, the
Company held no securities in the three lowest NAIC categories.
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A. SERVICE AGREEMENTS
The Company, The Prudential, Pruco Life, and Pruco Securities
Corporation, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Prudential,
operate under service and lease agreements whereby services of
officers and employees, supplies, use of equipment and office space

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993
B. EMPLOYEES BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential which,
sponsors several defined benefit pension plans that cover
substantially all of its employees. Benefits are generally based on
career average earnings and credited length of service. The
Prudential's funding policy is to contribute annually the amount
necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service contribution
guidelines.
No pension expense for contributions to the plan was allocated to the
Company in 1995, 1994 or 1993 because the plan was subject to the full
funding limitation under the Internal Revenue Code.
POSTRETIREMENT LIFE AND HEALTH BENEFITS
The Prudential also sponsors certain life insurance and health care
benefits for its retired employees. Substantially all employees may
become eligible to receive a benefit if they retire after age 55 with
at least 10 years of service. Postretirement benefits, with respect to
The Prudential, are recognized in accordance with prescribed NAIC
policy. The Prudential has elected to amortized its obligation over
twenty years. A provision for contributions to the postretirement fund
is included in the net cost of services allocated to the Company
discussed above for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
C. REINSURANCE
The Company currently has one reinsurance agreement in place with The
Prudential (the reinsurer). Specifically: a Yearly Renewable Term
agreement in which the Company may offer and the reinsurer may accept
reinsurance on any life in excess of the Company's maximum limit of
retention ($2.5 million). This agreement had no material effect on net
income for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993.
D. OTHER TRANSACTIONS
The Company has issued approximately 375 variable appreciable life
contracts to The Prudential for the purpose of funding non-qualified
pension benefits for certain employees. Included in insurance premiums
and annuity considerations are $12 million each for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, which are attributable to these
contracts.
7. DIVIDENDS
The Company is subject to New Jersey law which limits the amount of
dividends that insurance companies can pay to stockholders. The maximum
dividend that may be paid in any 12 month period without prior approval of
the New Jersey Commissioner of Insurance is limited to the greater of 10%
of surplus as of December 31 of the preceding year or the net gain from
operations of the preceding calendar year. Based on these limitations, the
Company would be permitted a maximum of $26 million in dividend
distributions in 1996, all of which could be paid in cash, without the
approval from The Department of Insurance of the State of New Jersey.
8. FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
The fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available
information and reasonable valuation methodologies for only 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.
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.
POLICY LOANS. The estimated fair value is calculated using a discounted
cash flow model based upon current U.S. Treasury rates and historical loan
repayments.
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.
The following table discloses the carrying amounts and estimated fair
values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and
1994.

appointed by The Prudential and the Company. The Prudential has agreed to
indemnify the Company for any and all losses resulting from such
litigation.

Newark, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Pruco Life
Insurance Company of New Jersey (the "Company") as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Pruco Life Insurance Company of New
Jersey as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995

UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic information,
documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or regulation of the
Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to authority conferred
in that section.
UNDERTAKING WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION
The Prudential Directors' and Officers' Liability and Corporation Reimbursement
Insurance Program, purchased by The Prudential from Aetna Casualty & Surety
Company, CNA Insurance Companies, 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 reimbursement for "Loss" (as defined
in the policies) which the Company pays as indemnification to its directors or
officers resulting from any claim for any actual or alleged act, error,
misstatement, misleading statement, omission, or breach of duty by persons in
the discharge of their duties 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 uninsurable 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 fraudulent acts or omissions or the willful violation of any law
by a director or officer, (2) claims based on or attributable to directors or
officers gaining personal profit or advantage to which they were not legally
entitled, and (3) 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
and Pruco Life of New Jersey, can be found in Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey
Statutes Annotated. The text of The Prudential's by-law 26 permitting or
requiring indemnification, which relates to indemnification of officers and
directors, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.A.(6)(b) of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-6, Registration No. 33-61079, filed April 25, 1996, on
behalf of The Prudential Variable Appreciable Account. The text of Pruco Life of
New Jersey's by-laws, Article V, which relates to indemnification of officers
and directors, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.A.(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.

Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Chief Legal Officer and Assistant Secretary of Pruco Life
Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey"), I have reviewed
the establishment of Pruco Life of New Jersey Single Premium Variable Life
Account (the "Account") on April 15, 1985 by the Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors of Pruco Life of New Jersey as a separate account for assets
applicable to certain single premium variable life insurance contracts, pursuant
to the provisions of Section 17B:28-7 of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey. I
was responsible for oversight of the preparation and review of the Registration
Statement on Form S-6, as amended, filed by Pruco Life of New Jersey with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration Number 2-99537) under the
Securities Act of 1933 for the registration of certain single premium variable
life insurance contracts issued with respect to the Account.
I am of the following opinion:
(1) Pruco Life of New Jersey 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
single premium variable life insurance contracts is not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business
Pruco Life of New Jersey may conduct.
(4) The single premium variable life insurance contracts are legal
and binding obligations of Pruco Life of New Jersey 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

Exhibit 6
April 25, 1996
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey
213 Washington Street
Newark, New Jersey 07102-2992
To Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by Pruco Life
Insurance Company of New Jersey of flexible premium variable life insurance
contracts ("Contracts") under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus
included in Post-Effective Amendment No. 20 to Registration Statement No.
2-99537 on Form S-6 describes the Contracts. I have reviewed the Contract form
and I have participated in the preparation and review of the Registration
Statement and Exhibits thereto. In my opinion:
(1) The illustrations of face amounts of insurance included in the
section entitled "Some typical face amounts" ("Amount of Life
Insurance"), based on the assumptions stated in the
illustrations, are consistent with the provisions of the
Contract.
(2) The illustrations of the death benefits included in the
section entitled "Increase in death benefit due to favorable
investment experience" ("Amount of Life Insurance"), based on
the assumptions stated in the illustrations, are consistent
with the provisions of the Contract.
(3) The illustrations of cash surrender values and death benefits
included in the section entitled "Illustrations", based on the
assumptions stated in the illustrations, are consistent with
the provisions of the Contract. The rate structure of the
Contract has not been designed so as to make the relationship
between the premium and benefits, as shown in the
illustrations, appear more favorable to a prospective
purchaser of a Contract for male age 35 or female age 55, than
to prospective purchasers of Contracts on insureds of other
ages.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.
Very truly yours,
Paul Haley FSA, CLU, ChFC
Vice President
The Prudential Insurance Company of America
