PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
VARIABLE UNIVERSAL ACCOUNT
PRUSELECT(SM) I
Variable Life
Insurance Contracts
This prospectus describes certain individual flexible premium variable universal
life insurance contracts issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"),
a stock life insurance company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential"), to employers,
trusts, associations or similar entities for the purpose of providing insurance
on the lives of selected employees. Pruco Life calls these contracts its
Pruselect(SM) I Variable Life Insurance Contracts* (the "Contract"). As of
January 1, 1992, these Contracts are no longer available for sale. These
Contracts provide individual universal life insurance coverage with flexible
premium payments and variable investment options. In general, the owner, not the
insured employee, makes all the premium payments and receives the benefits under
the Contracts. The Contracts may be used for such purposes as funding the
owner's liabilities for retiree medical benefits or other non-qualified employee
benefits.
The Contracts provide a death benefit and cash surrender value. The cash
surrender value generally increases with the payment of each premium, decreases
to reflect charges made by Pruco Life, and varies daily with investment
performance of the chosen investment options. There is no guaranteed minimum
cash surrender value. The death benefit generally remains fixed in the amount or
amounts scheduled at the outset of the Contract (the "face amount"), unless it
is increased by Pruco Life to maintain the Contract's status as life insurance
under the Internal Revenue Code.
The Contracts provide a variety of investment options. The invested portion
of premiums may be invested in one or more of the sixteen current investment
subaccounts of the Pruco Life Variable Universal Account (the "Account"). The
assets of each subaccount of the Account are 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 the risks of investing in
the sixteen portfolios of the Series Fund currently available under the
Contracts: the Money Market Portfolio, the Bond Portfolio, the Government
Securities Portfolio, three Zero Coupon Bond Portfolios with different
liquidation dates--1995 (not available for investment after November 14, 1995),
2000, and 2005, the Conservatively Managed Flexible Portfolio, the Aggressively
Managed Flexible Portfolio, the High Yield Bond Portfolio, the Stock Index
Portfolio, the High Dividend Stock Portfolio, the Common Stock Portfolio, the
Growth Stock Portfolio, the Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio, the Global
Equity Portfolio, and the Natural Resources Portfolio. Other subaccounts and
portfolios may be offered in the future.
REPLACING EXISTING INSURANCE WITH A CONTRACT DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS MAY
NOT BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. IF YOU CURRENTLY OWN A FLEXIBLE PREMIUM LIFE INSURANCE
CONTRACT, THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF PURCHASING ADDITIONAL LIFE INSURANCE UNDER
THE EXISTING POLICY SHOULD BE COMPARED WITH THE BENEFITS AND COSTS OF PURCHASING
THE CONTRACT DESCRIBED IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IN MAKING THIS COMPARISON, YOU SHOULD
CONSULT WITH A QUALIFIED TAX ADVISOR.
PLEASE READ THIS PROSPECTUS AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. IT IS ATTACHED TO
A CURRENT PROSPECTUS FOR THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRACT
This prospectus describes individual flexible premium variable universal life
insurance contracts (the "Contract") that are offered by Pruco Life Insurance
Company ("Pruco Life") to employers, trusts, associations or similar entities
and that provide insurance on the lives of covered employees or other insured
individuals. As of January 1, 1992, these Contracts are no longer available for
sale. In general the owner, and not the insured, makes the premium payments and
receives the benefits under the Contracts; the original owner may, however, be
able to assign certain of the Contract rights.
The Contract provides flexibility with respect to the payment of premiums. A
minimum initial premium must be paid for the Contract to be issued. Thereafter,
the Contract owner may generally select the amount and timing of premium
payments. The Contract will typically set forth a schedule of annual target
premiums that the owner may pay, but the owner need not adhere to that schedule
and instead may vary the timing and amount of premiums. See Premiums, page 5.
Payment of any specific premium level is not required to ensure that the
Contract remains in force. Rather, the Contract will remain in force as long as
the Contract fund is sufficient to pay the monthly charges. Conversely, the
payment of any specified premium level does not guarantee that the Contract will
not lapse. See Lapse and Reinstatement, page 12.
There are circumstances, such as the payment of aggregate premiums in excess of
the sum of the annual "7-pay" premiums as defined by the Internal Revenue Code,
under which the Contract may become a Modified Endowment Contract under federal
tax law. If it does, loans and other pre-death distributions are includible in
gross income on an income-first basis. Under a Modified Endowment Contract, a
10% penalty tax may be imposed on distributions of income under certain
circumstances.
Prospective and current Contract owners are advised to consult a qualified tax
advisor before taking steps that may affect whether the Contract becomes a
Modified Endowment Contract. See Tax Treatment of Contract Benefits, page 10.
The Contract owner may choose to have the premiums (after deduction of a $2
administrative charge, the applicable premium tax charge, and a sales load of up
to 7%) invested in one or more of sixteen subaccounts of the Pruco Life Variable
Universal Account (the "Account"). Each subaccount is invested in a
corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"),
a series mutual fund to which The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The
Prudential") acts as the investment advisor. Information about the Series Fund
portfolios can be found under The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. on page 3 and in
the attached prospectus for the Series Fund.
Because the assets that relate to the Contract may be invested in these various
investment options, the Contract offers an opportunity for the cash surrender
value to appreciate more rapidly than it would under comparable fixed-benefit
insurance. But the owner must accept the risk that if investment performance of
the chosen option[s] is unfavorable the cash surrender value may not appreciate
as rapidly and, indeed, may decrease in value.
Pruco Life deducts certain charges from each premium payment and from the
amounts held in the designated investment options. 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 and Expenses on page
6. In brief, and subject to that fuller description, the following charges may
be made: (1) a charge for premium taxes (the most common level is 2% of the
premium) is deducted from each premium payment; (2) a $2 charge is deducted from
each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs; (3) a
front-end sales load of up to 7% of the remaining premium is deducted after the
above two charges have been deducted; (4) a monthly administrative charge of up
to $3 plus up to $0.04 per $1,000 of face amount of insurance is deducted from
the Contract fund; (5) a monthly charge for anticipated mortality (the "cost of
insurance charge") is deducted, with the maximum charge based on 100% of the
1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables ("1980 CSO Tables"), with
appropriate adjustments for substandard rating classes; (6) a daily charge
equivalent to an annual rate of up to 0.9% is deducted from the assets of the
subaccounts for mortality and expense risks; (7) an administrative processing
charge of up to $15 will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of
cash surrender value or decrease in face amount; and (8) certain fees and
expenses are deducted from the assets of the Series Fund. Under certain
circumstances, Contract owners may receive a refund of a portion of the sales
charge. See Refunds of Sales Charges, page 7.
For a limited time, a Contract may be returned in accordance with the terms of
the "free look" provision. See Short-Term Cancellation Right or "Free Look",
page 5.
This summary provides only a brief overview of the more significant aspects of
the Contract. Further detail is provided in the subsequent sections of this
prospectus and in the Contract. That document, together with the
2
<PAGE>
application attached to it, constitutes the entire agreement between the owner
and Pruco Life and should be retained.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, PRUCO LIFE
VARIABLE UNIVERSAL ACCOUNT, AND THE VARIABLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS
AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT
Pruco Life Insurance Company. Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life") is a
stock life insurance company, organized in 1971 under the laws of the State of
Arizona. It is licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in the District of
Columbia, Guam, and in all states except New York. These Contracts are not
offered in any state in which the necessary approvals have not yet been
obtained. Pruco Life 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, 1994, The Prudential has invested over $442 million in Pruco
Life in connection with Pruco Life's organization and operation. The Prudential
intends from time to time to make additional capital contributions to Pruco Life
as needed to enable it to meet its reserve requirements and expenses in
connection with its business. The Prudential is under no obligation to make such
contributions and its assets do not back the benefits payable under the
Contract. Pruco Life's consolidated financial statements begin on page B1 and
should be considered only as bearing upon Pruco Life's ability to meet its
obligations under the Contracts.
Pruco Life Variable Universal Account. The Pruco Life Variable Universal Account
(the "Account") was established on April 17, 1989 under Arizona 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's other assets.
The obligations to Contract owners and beneficiaries arising under the Contracts
are general corporate obligations of Pruco Life. Pruco Life is also the legal
owner of the assets in the Account. Pruco Life 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 conducts. In addition to these assets, the Account's assets may
include funds contributed by Pruco Life to commence operation of the Account and
may include accumulations of the charges Pruco Life makes against the Account.
From time to time these additional assets will be transferred to Pruco Life's
general account. Before making any such transfer, Pruco Life 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. There are currently sixteen 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. 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 to provide benefits under the Contract and to transfer assets
from one subaccount to another, as requested by Contract owners. Any dividend or
capital gain distribution received from a portfolio of the Series Fund will be
reinvested immediately at net asset value in shares of that portfolio and
retained as assets of the corresponding subaccount.
The Prudential is the investment advisor for the assets of each of the
portfolios of the Series Fund. The Prudential's principal business address is
Prudential Plaza, Newark, New Jersey 07102-3777. The Prudential has a Service
Agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary The Prudential Investment Corporation
("PIC"), which provides that, subject to The Prudential's supervision, PIC will
furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the
Series Fund. In addition, The Prudential has entered into a Subadvisory
Agreement with its wholly-owned subsidiary Jennison Associates Capital
Corporation ("Jennison"), under which Jennison furnishes investment advisory
services in connection with the management of the Growth Stock Portfolio.
Further detail is provided in the prospectus and statement of additional
information for the Series Fund. The Prudential, PIC, and Jennison are
registered as investment advisors under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

<PAGE>
As an investment advisor, The Prudential charges the Series Fund a daily
investment management fee as compensation for its services. The following table
shows the investment management fee charged for each portfolio of the Series
Fund available for investment by Contract owners.
Annual Investment Management Fee as
Portfolio a Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets
- --------- -----------------------------------------
Stock Index Portfolio 0.35%
Money Market Portfolio 0.40%
Bond Portfolio 0.40%
Government Securities Portfolio 0.40%
Zero Coupon Bond Portfolios 0.40%
High Dividend Stock Portfolio 0.40%
Small Capitalization Stock Portfolio 0.40%
Common Stock Portfolio 0.45%
Natural Resources Portfolio 0.45%
Conservatively Managed Flexible Portfolio 0.55%
High Yield Bond Portfolio 0.55%
Aggressively Managed Flexible Portfolio 0.60%
Growth Stock Portfolio 0.60%
Global Equity Portfolio 0.75%
In addition to the investment management fee, each portfolio incurs certain
expenses, such as accounting and custodian fees. Pruco Life, on a non-guaranteed
basis, makes daily adjustments that will offset the effect on Contract owners of
some of these expenses incurred by certain portfolios. Pruco Life currently
makes such adjustments to ensure that the portfolio expenses indirectly borne by
a Contract owner investing in: (1) the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolios will not
exceed the investment management fee; (2) the Stock Index Portfolio will not
exceed the investment management fee plus 0.05% of the average daily net assets
of the portfolio; and (3) the High Yield Bond, High Dividend Stock and Natural
Resources Portfolios will not exceed the investment management fee plus 0.1% of
the average daily net assets of the portfolio.
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 0.60% for the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolio 1995 and
2005, 0.51% for the Zero Coupon Bond Portfolio 2000, 0.42% for the Stock Index
Portfolio, 0.52% for the High Dividend Stock Portfolio, and 0.61% for the
Natural Resources Portfolio during 1994. No such adjustment was necessary for
the High Yield Bond Portfolio during 1994. Pruco Life does not intend to
discontinue these adjustments in the future, although it retains the right to do
so.
It is conceivable that in the future it may become disadvantageous for both
variable life insurance and variable annuity contract separate accounts to
invest in the same underlying mutual fund. Although neither the companies which
invest in the Series Fund, nor the Series Fund currently foresees any such
disadvantage, the Series Fund's Board of Directors intends to monitor events in
order to identify any material conflict between variable life insurance and
variable annuity contract owners and to determine what action, if any, should be
taken in response thereto. Material conflicts could result from such things as:
(1) changes in state insurance law; (2) changes in federal income tax law; (3)
changes in the investment management of any portfolio of the Series Fund; or (4)
differences between voting instructions given by variable life insurance and
variable annuity contract owners.
A full description of the Series Fund, its investment objectives, management,
policies, and restrictions, its expenses, the risks attendant to investment
therein--including any risks associated with investment in the High Yield Bond
Portfolio, and all other aspects of its operation is contained in the attached
prospectus for the Series Fund and in its statement of additional information,
which should be read in conjunction with this prospectus. There is no assurance
that the investment objectives will be met.
DETAILED INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE CONTRACT OWNERS
Requirements for Issuance of a Contract. As of January 1, 1992, these Contracts
are no longer available for sale. Pruco Life offers the Contracts on both an
individually underwritten basis and a guaranteed issue basis. Underwritten
Contracts require individualized evidence of the insured's insurability and
rating class. Guaranteed issue Contracts may be issued in certain circumstances
on certain associated individuals, such as those employees of a company who meet
certain criteria established by Pruco Life. Pruco Life will set from time to
time certain minimum face amounts that it will offer. The minimum face amount
offered may depend on whether the Contract is issued on an underwritten or
guaranteed issue basis (the face amount is the minimum death benefit, absent
Contract debt or default). The minimum face amounts currently offered are
$100,000 for an underwritten Contract and $50,000 for a Contract issued on a
guaranteed issue basis, although Pruco Life may in its discretion reduce
4
<PAGE>
the minimum face amounts of the Contracts it will issue. A Contract owner may
establish a schedule of face amounts under which the face amount will change on
designated dates.
The Contract may generally be issued on insureds between the ages of 20 and 75
for underwritten Contracts, and between ages 20 and 64 for guaranteed issue
Contracts. In its discretion, Pruco Life may issue the Contract on insureds of
other ages.
Short-Term Cancellation Right or "Free Look". Generally, a Contract may be
returned for a refund within 10 days after it is received by the Contract owner.
Some states allow a longer period of time during which a Contract may be
returned for a refund. A refund can be requested by mailing or delivering the
Contract to the representative who sold it or to the Pruco Life 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.
Premiums. Pruco Life will set a minimum initial premium for issuance of a
Contract. Moreover, a Contract will typically contain a schedule of annual
target premiums that the owner may pay. However, the Contract owner need not
follow that schedule and has considerable flexibility with respect to the timing
and amount of payments. The minimum premium Pruco Life will accept is $25 and
Pruco Life reserves the right to limit premiums over the target amount in any
year to $10,000. Moreover, Pruco Life may refuse to accept a premium that will
immediately result in an increase in the death benefit. See Death Benefit, page
8. The amount of premium payments made by the owner will affect the size of the
Contract's cash surrender value and the likelihood of lapse and may affect the
size of the death benefit. Payment of premiums in excess of certain amounts will
cause the Contract to become a Modified Endowment Contract, which affects the
tax treatment of pre-death distributions under the Contract. See Tax Treatment
of Contract Benefits, page 10.
Allocation of Premiums. The following rules govern the allocation of premiums by
Contract owners. On the Contract date (the date the Contract is issued, as
specified in the Contract), the applicable premium tax charge (most frequently
2%), the $2 processing charge, and the front-end sales charge of up to 7% of the
remaining premium are deducted from the initial premium, and the first monthly
deductions are made. See Charges and Expenses, page 6. Except as provided below,
the remainder of the initial premium will be allocated among the subaccounts
according to the allocation specified by the Contract owner. In states which
require a return of premium with no adjustment for investment experience to a
Contract owner who exercises his or her short-term cancellation right, the
initial premium remaining after deduction of the charges described above will be
allocated to the Money Market Subaccount until the end of the "free-look"
period. Thus, to the extent that the receipt of the first premium precedes the
Contract date, there will be a period during which the Contract owner's initial
premium will not be invested.
The premium tax charge, the $2 per payment charge, and the front-end sales load
also apply to all subsequent premium payments (however, the front-end sales load
on premiums after the first year is generally reduced to 5%, but Pruco Life
reserves the contractual right to charge up to 7%); the remainder of such
subsequent premiums will be invested in accordance with the investment
allocation previously designated. The invested portion of all subsequent
premiums is invested in the selected subaccount[s] as of the end of the
valuation period in which the premium is received at the Pruco Life Home Office
stated in the Contract. Provided the Contract is not in default, the Contract
owner may change the way in which premiums are allocated among the subaccounts
by giving written notice or by telephoning the Pruco Life Home Office, once a
written telephone transfer authorization form has been completed. There is no
charge for reallocating future premiums. The percentage of the invested premium
that may be allocated to a particular subaccount must be at least 10% on the
date the allocation takes effect. All percentage allocations must be in whole
numbers. For example, 33% can be selected but 33 1/3% cannot. Of course, the
total allocation to all selected subaccount[s] must equal 100%.
Transfers. If the Contract is not in default, the Contract owner may, up to four
times in each Contract year, transfer amounts from one subaccount to another
subaccount. All or a portion of the amount credited to a subaccount may be
transferred. The minimum transfer is the lesser of $250 or the amount the
Contract owner has invested in the particular investment option.
Transfers among subaccounts will take effect as of the end of the valuation
period in which a proper transfer request is received at the Pruco Life Home
Office. The request may be in terms of dollars, such as a request to transfer
$10,000 from one subaccount to another, or may be in terms of a percentage
reallocation among subaccounts. In the latter case, as with premium
reallocations, the percentages must be in whole numbers. The Contract owner may
transfer amounts by proper written notice to a Pruco Life Home Office or by
telephone, provided the Contract owner is enrolled to use the Telephone Transfer
System. Pruco Life cannot guarantee that
5
<PAGE>
owners will be able to get through to complete a telephone transfer during peak
periods such as periods of drastic economic or market change.
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 of a Zero Coupon Bond Subaccount will not be counted as one of the
four permissible transfers in a Contract year.
Charges and Expenses. The total amount invested at any time under the Contract
(the "Contract fund") consists of the amount relating to the Contract held in
the Account and the principal amount of any Contract loan plus the amount of
interest credited upon the loan to the Contract owner.
All charges made by Pruco Life, whether deducted from premiums or from the
Contract fund, are set forth below.
1. A charge is deducted from each premium payment to compensate Pruco Life for
paying premium taxes. These taxes vary by state and in some states by
locality. The most common level of premium taxes is 2% of the premium. The
tax rates currently in effect in those states that impose a tax range from
0.75% to 5%. During 1994 and 1993, Pruco Life received a total of
approximately $81,162 and $70,544, respectively, in charges for payment of
premium taxes.
2. An administrative charge of $2 is deducted from each premium payment to
cover the cost of collecting and processing premiums. Pruco Life does not
expect to make a profit on this charge. During 1994 and 1993, Pruco Life
received a total of approximately $690 and $1,949, respectively, in
processing charges.
3. There is a charge to compensate Pruco Life for the cost of selling the
Contract. This cost includes sales commissions, advertising, and the
printing of prospectuses and sales literature. This charge is called the
"sales load" and consists of a deduction of up to 7% of the premium
remaining after the premium tax charge and the $2 premium processing charge
have been deducted. On a non-guaranteed basis, Pruco Life intends to charge
the 7% sales load on first year payments and only a 5% sales load on
subsequent payments. A portion of the sales load may be refunded if the
Contract is surrendered during the first 3 Contract years or if aggregate
first year premiums under all Contracts of this type purchased by the owner
exceed an amount determined by Pruco Life (currently $5 million). See
Refunds of Sales Charges, page 7. During 1994 and 1993 Pruco Life received
a total of approximately $185,265 and $169,043, respectively, in sales load
charges.
4. On each Monthly date, (i.e., the Contract date and the same day of each
succeeding month), the Contract fund is reduced by an administrative charge
of up to $3 plus up to $0.04 per $1,000 of face amount of insurance (but
currently on a non-guaranteed basis of not more than $6 per month). This
charge is to compensate Pruco Life for administrative expenses incurred,
among other things, in issuing the Contracts, processing claims, paying
cash surrender values and death benefits, keeping records, and
communicating with Contract owners. Pruco Life does not expect to make a
profit from this administrative charge. During 1994 and 1993, Pruco Life
received a total of approximately $37,630 and $51,325, respectively, in
monthly administrative charges.
5. Pruco Life deducts a mortality charge (also referred to as a "cost of
insurance charge") from the Contract fund on each Monthly date to cover
anticipated mortality costs. When an insured dies, the amount of the death
benefit paid to the beneficiary is larger than the Contract fund. The
mortality charges are designed to enable Pruco Life to pay this larger
death benefit. The charge is determined by multiplying the applicable "net
amount at risk" (the amount by which the death benefit, computed as if
there were no Contract debt, exceeds the Contract fund) by a mortality rate
based upon the insured's sex, issue age and current attained age, and the
anticipated mortality for that class of persons. The maximum rate that
Pruco Life may charge for underwritten Contracts which are not in a
substandard risk class is 100% of the applicable rates of the
non-smoker/smoker 1980 CSO Tables. The maximum rate that Pruco Life may
charge under Contracts issued on a guaranteed issue basis which are not in
a substandard risk class is 100% of the applicable rates of the composite
1980 CSO Tables. Higher rates apply if the insured is determined to be in a
substandard risk class. Current cost of insurance rates are typically lower
than the maximum rates.
6. An extra risk charge may be deducted monthly for aviation, occupational or
temporary extra risks.
7. A charge is made to compensate Pruco Life for assuming mortality and
expense risks. This is done by deducting daily, from the assets of each of
the subaccounts, a percentage of those assets up to an effective annual
rate of 0.9%. Pruco Life currently intends to charge only 0.6% on these
Contracts, but reserves the right to make the full 0.9% charge. The
mortality risk assumed is that insureds may live for a shorter period
6
<PAGE>
of time than Pruco Life estimated when it determined what mortality charges
to make. The expense risk assumed is that expenses will be greater than
Pruco Life estimated in fixing its administrative charges. Pruco Life will
realize a gain from this risk charge to the extent it is not needed to
provide benefits and pay expenses under the Contracts. During 1994 and
1993, Pruco Life received a total of approximately $193,493 and $169,134,
respectively, in mortality and expense risk charges.
8. An administrative processing charge of up to $15 will be made in connection
with each partial withdrawal of cash surrender value or decrease in face
amount. See Partial Withdrawal of Cash Surrender Value, page 8, and Changes
in Face Amount, page 9.
9. The earnings of the Account are taxed as part of the operations of Pruco
Life. Under the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Pruco Life
does not expect to incur federal income taxes on earnings of the Account to
the extent the earnings are credited under the Contracts. For this reason,
no charge is being made currently to the Account for company federal income
taxes. Pruco Life 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
Contracts. Under current laws, Pruco Life may incur state and local taxes
(in addition to premium taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes
are not significant and they are not charged against the Contracts or the
Account. If there is a material change in the applicable state or local tax
laws, the imposition of any such taxes upon Pruco Life that are
attributable to the Account may result in a corresponding charge against
the Account.
10. The Account purchases shares of the Series Fund at net asset value. The net
asset value of those shares reflects management fees and expenses already
deducted from the assets of the Series Fund. The fees and expenses for the
Series Fund are briefly described under The Prudential Series Fund, Inc. on
page 3 in connection with a general description of the Series Fund. More
detailed information is contained in the attached prospectus for the Series
Fund.
The maximum deductions and charges described above will not be increased by
Pruco Life with respect to any Contract in effect regardless of any changes in
longevity or increases in expenses. Where current charges are lower than maximum
charges, Pruco Life reserves the right to modify the current charges on a
uniform basis, although it has no present intention to do so.
The Contract owner may specify the subaccount[s] from which the monthly
deductions are made. If the amount held in a selected subaccount is insufficient
or if no selection is made by the owner, the monthly charges will be deducted
based on the portions of the Contract fund invested in each of the selected
subaccount[s].
Refunds of Sales Charges. If the Contract is not in default, Pruco Life will,
upon full surrender of the Contract within the first 3 Contract years, return
any sales charges deducted from premiums paid within the 365 days prior to the
date Pruco Life receives the surrender request at its Home Office.
Furthermore, Pruco Life's sales expenses may be lower if an owner pays more than
$5 million (or some alternative amount set by Pruco Life) in aggregate first
year premiums on all Pruco Life Contracts of this type that the owner purchased.
Reductions in sales expenses may, on a non-guaranteed basis, lead to refunds of
a portion of the sales load. Thus, currently, at the end of the first Contract
year, Pruco Life intends to refund a portion of the sales load for such
Contracts. It will do so by adding an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate first
year premiums between $5 million to $10 million and 6% of the premiums in excess
of $10 million, plus such interest thereon as Pruco Life in its discretion
determines, to the Contract fund after the end of the first Contract year.
Additional non-guaranteed refunds of sales load may be made based on such
factors as total aggregate premiums of a certain amount over a given period of
time and the persistency of the Contracts.
Reduction of Charges. In addition to the refund of sales charges noted above,
Pruco Life reserves the right to reduce the sales charges and/or other charges
on certain multiple life sales, where it is expected that the amount or nature
of such multiple sales will result in savings of sales, administrative or other
costs. Pruco Life determines both the eligibility for such reduced charges, as
well as the amount of such reductions, by considering the following factors: (1)
the number of individuals; (2) the total amount of premium payments expected to
be received from these Contracts; (3) the nature of the association between
these individuals, and the expected persistency of the individual Contracts; (4)
the purpose for which the individual Contracts are purchased and whether that
purpose makes it likely that costs will be reduced; and (5) any other
circumstances which Pruco Life believes to be relevant in determining whether
reduced costs may be expected. Some of the reductions in charges for these sales
may be contractually guaranteed; other reductions may be withdrawn or modified
by Pruco Life on a uniform basis. Pruco Life's reductions in charges for these
Contracts will not be unfairly discriminatory to the interests of any Contract
owners.
Cash Surrender Value. A Contract has a cash surrender value which the owner may
obtain while the insured is living by surrender of the Contract. Surrender of a
Contract may have tax consequences. See Tax Treatment of Contract Benefits, page
10. Unlike traditional fixed-benefit insurance, however, a Contract's cash
surrender value
7
<PAGE>
is not known in advance because it varies daily with the investment performance
of the selected subaccount[s]. It also varies with the amount of invested
premiums and charges deducted from the Account. The cash surrender value equals
the Contract fund plus any refund of sales charges due minus any Contract debt
arising from any outstanding loan. The owner may withdraw part of the cash
surrender value under certain conditions. See Partial Withdrawal of Cash
Surrender Value, page 8 and Tax Treatment of Contract Benefits, page 10.
There is no minimum cash surrender value. If the Contract fund is insufficient
to pay monthly charges, the Contract will lapse in 61 days unless a payment
sufficient to keep the Contract in force is received. See Lapse and
Reinstatement, page 12.
The tables on pages T1 through T8 illustrate what the cash surrender values
would be for representative Contracts, assuming certain uniform hypothetical
investment results in the selected Series Fund portfolio[s].
Death Benefit. At issue, the Contract will specify a face amount or perhaps a
series of face amounts applicable at different times. Assuming that there is no
Contract debt and that the Contract is not in default, the death benefit on any
date is equal to the greater of: (1) the current face amount; and (2) the
Contract fund before deduction of any monthly charges due on that date, plus a
return of any sales charges due upon surrender during the first 3 Contract
years, divided by the net single premium per $1 at the insured's attained age.
This second alternative ensures that the death benefit will not be less than the
amount of life insurance that could be provided for an invested single premium
amount equal to the Contract fund plus any refund of sales charges due on
surrender. The death benefit proceeds will be reduced to reflect any Contract
debt.
If the Contract is in default and the insured dies in the 61-day grace period,
the death benefit less any overdue charges is payable. If the insured dies past
the grace period, no death benefit is payable. See Lapse and Reinstatement, page
12.
Under the second alternative described above, the death benefit may be increased
based on the size of the Contract fund and the insured's attained age. Such an
increase ensures that the Contract will satisfy the Internal Revenue Code's
definition of life insurance. The death benefit may thereafter vary based on the
size of the Contract fund and the insured's attained age, but will not decrease
below the face amount. The net single premium is used only in the calculation of
the death benefit, not for premium payment purposes. The following is a table of
illustrative net single premiums for $1 of death benefit.

Whenever the death benefit is determined in this way, Pruco Life reserves the
right to refuse to accept further premium payments.
With Pruco Life's consent, a Contract owner may be able to decrease the face
amount of the Contract. See Changes in Face Amount, page 9.
Partial Withdrawal of Cash Surrender Value. Contract owners may make withdrawals
from the Contract fund. Such withdrawals may have tax consequences. See Tax
Treatment of Contract Benefits, page 10. A Contract
8
<PAGE>
owner may make up to four withdrawals per year, subject to certain requirements.
The amount withdrawn must be at least $2,000 (in some states the minimum
withdrawal amount may be lower), and there is an administrative processing fee
of up to $15. The amount withdrawn plus the administrative processing fee of up
to $15 will be taken proportionately from the Contract fund based on the portion
of the total Contract fund in a particular subaccount. A Contract owner may not
designate the subaccount[s] from which a withdrawal is to be taken, although
Contract owners may make up to four transfers each Contract year. See Transfers,
page 5. An amount withdrawn may not be repaid except as a premium subject to the
applicable charges. All requests for withdrawals must be made in writing. Upon
request, Pruco Life will tell a Contract owner how much may be withdrawn.
Whenever a withdrawal is made, the face amount may be reduced in order to
prevent the net amount at risk from increasing.
No partial withdrawal will be permitted if it would result in a new current face
amount of less than $100,000 under an underwritten Contract or $50,000 under a
Contract issued on a guaranteed issue basis. It is important to note, however,
that if the face amount is decreased at any time during the first 7 Contract
years, there is a danger that the Contract might be classified as a Modified
Endowment Contract. Before making any withdrawal which causes a decrease in face
amount, a Contract owner should consult with his or her tax advisor and Pruco
Life representative. See Tax Treatment of Contract Benefits, page 10. Contract
owners who make a partial withdrawal will be sent replacement Contract pages
showing the new face amount. A withdrawal may affect target premiums and monthly
deductions.
Changes in Face Amount. Although there is no contractual right to do so, Pruco
Life may permit a Contract owner to decrease the Contract's face amount without
withdrawing a portion of the Contract fund. This can be done to reduce monthly
charges. There is an administrative processing fee of up to $15 for such a
decrease. Contract owners should carefully consider the tax consequences before
requesting a decrease in face amount; if a decrease is effected, especially
during the first 7 Contract years, the Contract may become a Modified Endowment
Contract. See Tax Treatment of Contract Benefits, page 10. No decrease will be
allowed below the minimum face amounts. Decreases in face amount may also be
combined with cash withdrawals. Furthermore, Pruco Life may in its discretion
allow an owner to increase a Contract's face amount based on such factors as
changes in the insured's salary.
Increases in a Contract's face amount may also affect whether the Contract is a
Modified Endowment Contract. See Tax Treatment of Contract Benefits, page 10.
Illustrations of Cash Surrender Values, Death Benefits, and Accumulated
Premiums. The following eight tables have been prepared to show how certain
values under a Contract change with investment performance of the Account over
an extended period of time. The tables assume that there is no Contract debt.
The tables illustrate how cash surrender values and death benefits of a Contract
issued on an insured of a given age would vary over time if the return on assets
in the selected Series Fund portfolios were a uniform, after-tax, annual rate of
0%, 6%, and 12%. The first four tables assume certain target premiums were paid
annually for all years, and the remaining tables assume payment of certain
higher annual premiums (the 7-pay premiums, i.e., the maximum annual premiums
that may be paid in the first 7 years without the Contract becoming a Modified
Endowment Contract under federal tax law) for 7 years. The death benefits and
cash surrender values would be different from those shown if the returns
averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% but fluctuated over and under those averages throughout
the years. The tables also show the values of the premiums accumulated at 4%
interest.
The tables reflect the fact that the net return on the assets held in the
subaccounts is lower than the gross after-tax return of the Series Fund's
portfolios. This is because these tables assume an investment management fee and
other estimated Series Fund expenses totalling 0.58%. The 0.58% figure is based
on an average of the current management fees and expenses of the sixteen
portfolios, taking into account any applicable expense caps or expense
reimbursement arrangements. Actual fees and expenses of the portfolios
associated with a Contract may be more or less than 0.58%, will vary from year
to year, and will depend on how the Contract fund is allocated.
The tables also reflect the daily charge to the Account for assuming mortality
and expense risks, the monthly administrative charge, and the monthly mortality
charge. As their headings indicate, the following tables alternate between
tables reflecting Pruco Life's current charges and tables reflecting the
deduction of the maximum contractual charges. They reflect the refund of the
prior year's sales charges applicable to surrenders in the first 3 Contract
years, but no other refunds of sales charges such as that based on aggregate
first year premiums in excess of $5 million. All tables assume a premium tax
charge of 2% and reflect the fact that no charges for Federal or state income
taxes are currently made against the Account. The tables relate to underwritten
contracts on preferred risk insureds.
Upon request, Pruco Life will furnish a comparable illustration based on a
proposed Contract's specific circumstances.

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%, 6%, 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 OR
THE SERIES FUND THAT THESE HYPOTHETICAL RATES OF RETURN CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR ANY
ONE YEAR OR SUSTAINED OVER ANY PERIOD OF TIME.
T8
<PAGE>
Contract Loans. The Contract owner may borrow from Pruco Life up to the "loan
value" of the Contract, using the Contract as the only security for the loan.
The loan value of a Contract is 90% of its Contract fund, if the Contract is not
in default. The minimum amount that may be borrowed at any one time is $500
unless the loan is used to pay premiums on a life insurance policy issued by
Pruco Life or its affiliates.
The Contract provides a choice of fixed or variable loan interest rates. Under
the fixed loan interest rate provision, interest charged on a loan accrues daily
at a fixed effective annual rate of 5.5%. Under the variable loan interest rate
provision, interest charged on any loan will accrue daily at an annual rate
Pruco Life determines at the start of each Contract year (instead of at the
fixed 5.5% rate). This interest rate will not exceed the greatest of (1) the
"Published Monthly Average" for the calendar month ending 2 months before the
calendar month of the Contract anniversary; (2) 5%; or (3) any rate required by
law in the state of issue of the Contract. The "Published Monthly Average" means
Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average-Monthly Average Corporates, as published by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or any successor to that service, or if that
average is no longer published, a substantially similar average established by
the insurance regulator where the Contract is issued. For example, the Published
Monthly Average in 1994 ranged from 7.25% to 8.94%.
Interest payments on any loan are due at the end of each Contract year. If
interest is not paid when due, it is added to the principal amount of the loan.
The term "Contract debt" means the amount of all outstanding loans plus any
interest accrued but not yet due. If at any time the Contract debt exceeds the
Contract fund, Pruco Life will notify the Contract owner of its intent to
terminate the Contract in 61 days, within which time the owner may repay all or
enough of the loan to keep the Contract in force.
When a loan is made, an amount equal to the loan proceeds will be
transferred out of the applicable subaccount[s]. The reduction will generally be
made in the same proportions as the value in each subaccount bears to the total
value of the Contract. While a fixed-rate loan is outstanding, the amount that
was so transferred will continue to be treated as part of the Contract fund but
it will be credited with the assumed effective annual rate of return of 4%
rather than with the actual rate of return of the applicable subaccount[s].
While a loan made pursuant to the variable loan interest rate provision is
outstanding, the amount that was so transferred is credited with an effective
annual rate of 4% or an effective annual rate that is 1% less than the loan
interest rate for the Contract year, whichever is greater. If a loan remains
outstanding at a time when Pruco Life fixes a new rate, the new interest rate
will apply.
Should the death benefit become payable while a loan is outstanding, or should
the Contract be surrendered, any Contract debt will be deducted from the
proceeds otherwise payable.
A loan will have a permanent effect on a Contract's cash surrender value and may
have a permanent effect on the death benefit because the investment results of
the selected subaccount[s] will apply only to the amount remaining in those
subaccount[s]. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is
likely to be. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable. If investment
results are greater than the rate being credited upon the amount of the loan
while the loan is outstanding, Contract values will not increase as rapidly as
they would have if no loan had been made. If investment results are below that
rate, Contract values will be higher than they would have been had no loan been
made. Loan repayments are allocated to the investment options in proportion to
the amount invested in each option at the time of repayment.
The tax treatment of Contract loans depends on whether the Contract is
classified as a Modified Endowment Contract for federal tax purposes. See Tax
Treatment of Contract Benefits, this page.
When Proceeds Are Paid. Pruco Life will generally pay any death benefit, cash
surrender value, withdrawal or loan proceeds within 7 days after receipt at a
Pruco Life Home Office of all the documents required of 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 may delay payment of proceeds from
the subaccount[s] and the variable portion of the death benefit due under the
Contract 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.
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 believes the tax laws apply in the most commonly occurring
circumstances. There is no guarantee, however, that the current federal income
tax laws and regulations or interpretations will not change.
Treatment as Life Insurance. Under current law, the Contract will be treated as
"life insurance," as long as it satisfies certain definitional tests set forth
in section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and as long as the
underlying investments for the Contract satisfy diversification requirements
under section 817(h) of the
10
<PAGE>
Code. (For further detail on diversification requirements, see DIVIDENDS,
DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES in the attached prospectus for the Series Fund.)
Pruco Life believes that it has taken adequate steps to cause the Contract to 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; 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 under section 7702 in 1991 but have not yet been
finalized. The mortality charges for substandard risks under the Contract do not
comply with the proposed regulations. Consequently, if such regulations are
finalized in their current form, the Contract insuring a substandard risk may
not qualify as life insurance for federal tax purposes or may be classified as a
modified endowment contract.
Additional regulations under section 7702 may be promulgated in the future. It
is unclear whether such regulations will have any impact on the Contract.
Moreover, in connection with the issuance of temporary regulations 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 intends to comply with final regulations issued under sections 7702
and 817, and therefore reserves the right to make such changes as it deems
necessary to assure such compliance. Any such changes will apply uniformly to
affected Contract owners and will be made only after advance written notice to
Contract owners.
Pre-Death Distributions. The taxation of pre-death distributions depends on
whether the Contract is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. The
following discussion first deals with distributions under Contracts not so
classified, and then with Modified Endowment Contracts.
1. A surrender or lapse of the Contract may have tax consequences. Upon
surrender, the owner will not be taxed on the cash surrender value except
for the amount, if any, that exceeds the gross premiums paid less the
untaxed portion of any prior withdrawals. The amount of any unpaid Contract
debt will, upon surrender, be added to the cash surrender value and
treated, for this purpose, as if it had been received. Any loss incurred
upon surrender may not be deductible. The tax consequences of a surrender
may differ if the proceeds are received under any income payment settlement
option.
Extra premiums for optional benefits and riders generally do not count in
computing gross premiums paid, which in turn determine what part of
withdrawals or surrenders might be taxed.
A withdrawal generally is not taxable unless it exceeds total premiums paid
to the date of withdrawal, less the untaxed portion of any prior
withdrawals. However, under certain limited circumstances, in the first 15
Contract years all or a portion of a withdrawal may be taxable if the cash
surrender value plus any unpaid Contract debt exceeds the total premiums
paid less the untaxed portion of any prior withdrawals, even if total
withdrawals do not exceed total premiums paid to date.
Loans received under the Contract will ordinarily be treated as
indebtedness of the owner and will not be considered to be distributions
subject to tax.
2. Some of the above rules are changed if the Contract is classified as a
Modified Endowment Contract under Section 7702A of the Code. This Contract
could be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under at least two
circumstances: if aggregate premiums in excess of the sum of the annual
"7-pay" premiums as defined by the Code are paid; or if a decrease in the
face amount of insurance is made during the first 7 Contract years.
Moreover, increases in a Contract's face amount after the Contract date may
also affect whether the Contract is a Modified Endowment Contract. Contract
owners contemplating any of these steps should first consult a qualified
tax advisor and their Pruco Life representative.
If the Contract is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, then
pre-death distributions, including loans, withdrawals and surrenders are
includible in income to the extent that the Contract's cash surrender value
plus any unpaid Contract debt 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. These rules may also apply
to pre-death distributions, including loans, made during the 2 year period
prior to the Contract becoming a Modified Endowment Contract.
In addition, pre-death distributions from such Contracts (including full
surrenders) will be subject to a penalty of 10 per cent of the amount
includible in income unless the amount is distributed on or after age
59 1/2, on
11
<PAGE>
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 non-natural persons such as corporations.
Under certain circumstances, the Code requires two or more Modified
Endowment Contracts issued during a calendar year period to be treated as a
single contract for purposes of applying the above rules.
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, assignment of
the Contract, or change of insureds under 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)(2) of the Code. In addition, a transfer of the Contract to
or the designation of a beneficiary who is either 37 1/2 years younger than the
Contract owner or a grandchild of the Contract owner may have Generation
Skipping Transfer tax consequences under section 2601 of the Code.
In certain circumstances, deductions for interest paid or accrued on Contract
debt or other loans that are incurred or continued to purchase or carry the
Contract may be denied under section 163 of the Code or under section 264 of the
Code. Contract owners should consult a tax advisor regarding the application of
these provisions to their circumstances.
Business-owned life insurance is subject to additional rules. Section 264(a)(1)
of the Code generally precludes business Contract owners from deducting premium
payments. Under section 264(a)(4) of the Code, a deduction is not allowed for
any interest paid or accrued on any Contract debt on an insurance policy to the
extent the indebtedness exceeds $50,000 per officer, employee or financially
interested person. 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.
The individual situation of each Contract 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.
In the event of the assignment of Contract benefits to natural persons, estate
or inheritance taxes may be due under certain circumstances. This depends on
individual circumstances.
Contracts owned by entities other than an employer may be subject to
restrictions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"). These Contract owners should consult a qualified tax advisor
regarding any ERISA implications.
Lapse and Reinstatement. If the Contract fund on any Monthly date has decreased
to zero or less, or if a Contract's debt should exceed its Contract fund, the
Contract fund will go into default.
Should this happen, Pruco Life 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 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, page 10.
A Contract that has lapsed may be reinstated within 5 years after the date of
default unless the Contract has been surrendered for its cash surrender value.
To reinstate a lapsed Contract, Pruco Life 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. Such a
Contract may become a Modified Endowment Contract. See Tax Treatment of Contract
Benefits, page 10.
Legal Considerations Relating to Sex-Distinct Premiums and Benefits. The
Contracts employ mortality tables that distinguish between males and females.
Thus, benefits under Contracts issued on males and females of the same age will
differ. The Contract is not available in those states that have adopted
regulations prohibiting sex-distinct insurance rates. Moreover, the Contract may
not be assigned if to do so would violate regulations or laws relating to
sex-distinct insurance rates.
Exchange Right Available in Some States. In some states the owner may have the
right within the first 2 Contract years after a Contract is issued, so long as
the Contract is not in default, to exchange the Contract for a Life Paid Up at
age 85 plan on the insured's life issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of
America. This is a general account policy with guaranteed minimum values. No
evidence of insurability will be required to make an exchange. The new policy
will have the same issue date and risk classification for the insured as the
original Contract. The
12
<PAGE>
exchange may be subject to an equitable adjustment in premiums and values, and a
payment may be required. Before effecting such an exchange, an owner may wish to
obtain tax advice.
Reduced Paid-Up Insurance Option Available in Some States. In some states,
Contract owners will have the right to take the cash surrender value and use it
to acquire fixed reduced paid-up insurance, which provides insurance coverage
for the lifetime of the insured. The insurance amount depends on the cash
surrender value and the age, sex, and rating class of the insured. Fixed reduced
paid-up insurance has a cash surrender value and a loan value. Acquisition of
reduced paid-up insurance within the first 7 Contract years may result in the
Contract becoming a Modified Endowment Contract. See Tax Treatment of Contract
Benefits, page 10.
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.
Incontestability. After the Contract has been in force during the insured's
lifetime for 2 years from the Contract date or, with respect to any change in
the Contract that requires Pruco Life's approval and could increase its
liability, after the change has been in effect during the insured's lifetime for
2 years from the effective date of the change, Pruco Life 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 will
adjust the death benefits payable, as required by law, to reflect the correct
age and sex. Any death benefit will be based on what the most recent charge for
mortality would have provided at 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 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 or to an employee benefit plan without
Pruco Life's consent. Pruco Life 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 representative authorized to sell this Contract can
explain these options upon request.
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 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 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 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 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 instructions will be determined as of
the record date chosen by the Board of Directors of the Series Fund. Pruco Life
will furnish Contract owners with proper forms and proxies to enable them to
give these instructions. Pruco Life 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.
13
<PAGE>
Pruco Life 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 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 reasonably disapproves such changes in accordance with
applicable federal regulations. If Pruco Life 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.
Substitution of Series Fund Shares. Although Pruco Life 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 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.
Reports to Contract Owners. Once each Contract year (except where the Contract
is in force as fixed reduced paid-up insurance), 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 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.
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 07080-2398. 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 12% of premiums
received in the first year up to certain limits. Additional first year premiums
and premiums in later years may generate up to a 4% commission. Moreover, trail
commissions of up to 0.2% of the Contract fund may be paid on Contract
anniversaries. The representative may be required to return all or part of the
first year commission if the Contract is not continued through the second year.
Representatives who meet certain productivity, profitability, and persistency
standards with regard to the sale of the Contract may be eligible for additional
compensation.
Sales expenses in any year are not equal to the deduction for sales load in that
year. Pruco Life 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's surplus which may include the amounts derived from the
mortality and expense risk charge described in item 7 under Charges and
Expenses, page 6.
State Regulation. Pruco Life is subject to regulation and supervision by the
Department of Insurance of the State of Arizona, which periodically examines its
operations and financial condition. It is also subject to the insurance laws and
regulations of all jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business.
Pruco Life is required to submit annual statements of its operations, including
financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various jurisdictions
in which it does business to determine solvency and compliance with local
insurance laws and regulations.
In addition to the annual statements referred to above, Pruco Life is required
to file with Arizona and other jurisdictions a separate statement with respect
to the operations of all its variable contract accounts, in a form promulgated
by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE VARIABLE UNIVERSAL ACCOUNT
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND DECEMBER 31, 1993
NOTE 1: GENERAL
Pruco Life Variable Universal Account (the "Account") was established on April
17, 1989 under Arizona law as a separate investment account of Pruco Life
Insurance Company ("Pruco Life") which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Prudential Insurance Company of America ("The Prudential"). The assets of the
Account are segregated from Pruco Life's other assets. The two products that
invest in the Account are Pruselect I and Pruselect II.
The Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a unit investment trust. There are fourteen subaccounts within the Account,
each of which invests only in a corresponding portfolio of The Prudential Series
Fund, Inc. (the "Series Fund"). The Series Fund is a diversified open-end
management investment company, and is managed by The Prudential.
NOTE 2: INVESTMENT INFORMATION FOR THE PRUDENTIAL SERIES FUND, INC. PORTFOLIOS
The net asset value per share for each portfolio of the Series Fund, the number
of shares of each portfolio held by the subaccounts of the Account and the
aggregate cost of investments in such shares at December 31, 1994 were as

NOTE 3: CHARGES AND EXPENSES
A. Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
The mortality risk and expense risk charges at an effective annual rate of
up to 0.90% may be applied daily against the net assets representing equity
of Contract owners held in each subaccount. Pruco Life currently intends to
charge only 0.60% on these Contracts, but reserves the right to make the
full 0.90% charge.
B. Partial Withdrawal Charge
A $15 charge is imposed in connection with partial withdrawals of the cash
surrender value from certain variable life insurance contracts.
A10
<PAGE>
C. Expense Reimbursement
The Account is reimbursed by Pruco Life, on a non-guaranteed basis, for
expenses incurred by the Series Fund in excess of the effective rate of
0.40% for all Zero Coupon Bond Portfolios and for the Stock Index Portfolio,
0.50% for the High Dividend Stock Portfolio, 0.55% for the Natural Resources
Portfolio, and 0.65% for the High Yield Bond Portfolio of the average daily
net assets of these portfolios.
NOTE 4: TAXES
The operations of the subaccounts form a part of, and are taxed with, the
operations of Pruco Life. Under the Internal Revenue Code, all ordinary income
and capital gains allocated to the Contract owners are not taxed to Pruco Life.
As a result, the net asset values of the subaccounts are not affected by federal
income taxes on distributions received by the subaccounts.
NOTE 5: NET INCREASE (DECREASE) IN NET ASSETS RESULTING FROM SURPLUS TRANSFERS
The increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from surplus transfers
represents the net contributions of Pruco Life to the Account.
NOTE 6: RESTATEMENT
Subsequent to the issuance of the Account's previously issued December 31, 1993
financial statements, Pruco Life determined that in the High Yield Bond
subaccount, net assets and net increase in net assets resulting from operations
were overstated by approximately $1,024 due to the overvaluation of a security
held in the High Yield Bond Portfolio of the Series Fund at December 31, 1993.
Accordingly, the comparative 1993 financial information included in the
statements of changes in net assets of the Account has been restated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Contract Owners of
Pruco Life Variable Universal
Account and the Board of Directors
of Pruco Life Insurance Company
Newark, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Pruco Life Variable
Universal Account of Pruco Life Insurance Company (comprising, respectively, the
Money Market, Bond, Common Stock, Aggressively Managed Flexible, Conservatively
Managed Flexible, Zero Coupon Bond 1995, Zero Coupon Bond 2000, High Yield Bond,
Stock Index, High Dividend Stock, Natural Resources, Global Equity, Government
Securities and Zero Coupon Bond 2005 subaccounts) as of December 31, 1994, the
related statements of operations for the periods presented in the year then
ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods
presented in the two years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1994. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts
constituting the Pruco Life Variable Universal Account as of December 31, 1994,
the results of their operations, and the changes in their net assets for the
respective stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 6, the 1993 financial statements of Pruco Life Variable
Universal Account have been restated.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Principles
A. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated accounts of
Pruco Life Insurance Company (Pruco Life), a stock life insurance company,
and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). Pruco Life is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America
(The Prudential), a mutual life insurance company. The Company markets
individual life insurance and single pay deferred annuities primarily
through The Prudential's sales force. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
B. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are presented in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which for mutual life insurance
companies and their life insurance subsidiaries are statutory accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by state regulatory authorities in the
domiciliary states. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1992
and 1993 financial statements and footnotes to conform to the 1994
presentation. Included in the Statement of Operations are certain items
which, under statutory accounting practices, are charged or credited
directly to surplus.
In 1994, The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 94-5 "Disclosures of Certain Matters in the
Financial Statements of Insurance Enterprises" ("SOP 94-5") which requires
insurance enterprises to disclose in their financial statements the
accounting methods used in their statutory financial statements that are
permitted by the state insurance departments rather than prescribed
statutory accounting practices.
Pruco Life Insurance Company, domiciled in the State of Arizona, prepares
its statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by the Arizona Department of Insurance ("the
Department"), and its insurance subsidiaries prepare statutory financial
statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by their domiciliary home state insurance department. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices include publications of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), state laws, regulations, and general
administrative rules. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass
all accounting practices not so prescribed.
The Company has established guaranty fund liabilities for the insolvencies
of certain life insurance companies. The liabilities were established net
of premium tax credits and federal income tax. Prescribed statutory
accounting practices do not address the establishment of liabilities for
guaranty fund assessments.
The Company, with permission from the Department, prepares an Annual
Report that differs from the Annual Statement filed with the Department in
that subsidiaries are consolidated and certain financial statement
captions are presented differently.

C. Future Application of Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Financial
Interpretation No. 40, "Applicability of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles to Mutual Life Insurance and Other Enterprises", which, as
amended is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
Interpretation No. 40 changes the current practice of the Company with
respect to utilizing statutory basis financial statements for general
purposes in that it would not allow such financial statements to be
referred to as having been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Interpretation No. 40 requires GAAP financial statements to apply all GAAP
pronouncements, unless specifically exempted. Implementation of the
Interpretation will require significant effort and judgment as to
determining GAAP for insurance operations.
The Company is currently unable to determine the impact of Interpretation
No. 40 on its financial statements.

E. Investments
Fixed maturities, which include long-term bonds and redeemable preferred
stock, are stated primarily at amortized cost. Certain investments in this
category were non-income producing at December 31, 1994 and 1993. These
investments amounted to $13.2 million and $2 million, respectively. Equity
securities, which consist primarily of common stock, are carried at market
value which is based on quoted market prices, where available, or prices
provided by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (NAIC)
Securities Valuation Office (SVO).
Mortgage loans are carried at the lower of the fair value of the
underlying property or unpaid principal balance. At December 31, 1994, one
loan was in foreclosure in the amount of $6 million. At December 31, 1993,
aside from one loan in foreclosure, one mortgage, in the amount of $3
million, was in default.
Policy loans are stated primarily at unpaid principal balances.
All the Company's real estate investments were acquired through
foreclosure during 1994 and 1993. These properties are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value less disposition costs. Fair value is
considered to be the amount that could reasonably be expected in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in forced or liquidation
sale. Depreciation on these properties for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1993 was $456 thousand and $289 thousand, respectively.
Other long-term investments, which consist solely of limited partnerships,
are valued at the aggregate net equity in the partnerships. There were no
non-income producing investments in this category at December 31, 1994.
Certain investments in this category were non-income producing at December
31, 1993. These investments amounted to $118 thousand.
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates
fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992
Realized investment gains and losses are reported based on specific
identification of the investments sold.
F. 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 a 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 individual annuity contracts are determined using the
Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.
For life insurance, unpaid claims include estimates of both the death
benefits on reported claims and those which are incurred but not reported.
G. Revenue Recognition and Related Expenses
Premium revenues are recognized as income over the premium paying period
of the related policies. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue
when received. Expenses, including new business acquisition costs such as
commissions, are charged to operations as incurred.
H. Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve
The Asset Valuation Reserve (AVR) and the Interest Maintenance Reserve
(IMR) are required reserves for assets of life insurance companies. AVR is
calculated based on a statutory formula and designed to mitigate the
effect of valuation and credit related losses on unassigned surplus.
The components of AVR at December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

The IMR is designed to reduce the fluctuations of surplus resulting from
market interest rate movements. Predominantly all interest rate related
realized capital gains and losses are deferred and amortized into
investment income over the remaining life of the investment sold. The IMR
balance was $21.8 million and $46.5 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. "Net realized investment gains/(losses)" of $(19.9) million
and $19.2 million were deferred in 1994 and 1993, respectively. Amortized
into "Net investment income" were $4.8 million and $6.7 million of IMR for
the year ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
I. 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
B-6
<PAGE>
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992
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 years 1993 and 1992, the Company was allocated a
portion of the consolidated income tax liability attributable to Section
809 of the Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to as "Equity Tax").
Beginning in 1994, the Company will no longer be 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 this tax,
the Code requires the capitalization and amortization of policy
acquisition expenses.
J. 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. Each account has specific investment
objectives. 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 it 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, 1994, 1993 and
1992 were ($28) million, $443 million and $223 million, respectively.
2. Federal Income Taxes
The following is a reconciliation of the Company's federal tax provision as
computed at the federal tax rate with that computed at the Company's
effective tax rate. The below amounts include federal income tax applicable
to prior years, where appropriate.

</TABLE>
Proceeds from the sale/maturity of debt securities during 1994, 1993 and
1992 were $2.7 billion, $1.7 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. Gross
gains of $16.8 million, $44.5 million and $90.4 million and gross losses
of $49.8 million, $12.0 million and $20.8 million were realized on those
sales during 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
The Company invests in both investment grade and non-investment grade
securities. The SVO of the NAIC rates fixed maturities held by insurers
(SVO rated securities accounted for approximately 93.6% and 93.0% of the
Company's total fixed maturities balances at both December 31, 1994 and
1993) for regulatory purposes and groups investments into six categories
ranging from highest quality bonds to those in or near default. The lowest
three NAIC categories represent, for the most part, high-yield securities
and are defined by the NAIC as including any security with a public agency
rating of B+ or B1 or less.
Included in "fixed maturities" are securities that are classified by the
NAIC as being in the lowest three rating categories. These approximated
1.5% and 1.6% of the Company's assets at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The amount by which the market value of these securities
exceeded the carrying value was approximately $(.9) million and 1.0
million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
5. Related Party Transactions
A. Service Agreements
The Company, The Prudential, Pruco Life of New Jersey 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 are provided.
The net cost of these services allocated to the Company were $78 million,
$98 million, and $71 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993,
and 1992, respectively.
In a reorganization of the parent's Individual Insurance Department,
effective January 1, 1993, the corporate staff of the Company was absorbed
by the parent. The costs associated with these employees, which were
previously borne by the Company, are now charged to the Company under the
service and lease agreements with the parent.
B. Employee Benefit Plans
Pension Plans
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential which sponsors
a defined benefit pension plan. The defined benefit pension plan is
generally based on career average earnings and credit 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 1994, 1993 or 1992 because the plan was subject to the full
funding limitation under the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
For the Years Ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992
Postretirement Life and Health Benefits
The Prudential also sponsors postretirement defined benefit plans which
provide certain life insurance and health care benefits. Substantially all
employees may become eligible to receive a benefit if they retire after
age 55 with at least 10 years of service. Prior to 1993, The Prudential's
policy was to fund the cost of providing these benefits in the years that
the employees were providing services to the Company. Effective for 1993,
The Prudential has recognized the cost of these benefits in accordance
with the accounting policy issued by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC). The NAIC's policy is similar to SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions"
except that the NAIC policy excludes non-vested employees and only allows
the transition obligation to be recognized immediately or amortized over
twenty years. The Prudential has elected to amortize its transition
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, 1994, 1993
and 1992.
C. Reinsurance
The Company currently has two reinsurance agreements in place with The
Prudential (the reinsurer). Specifically: reinsurance of a Group Annuity
Contract, whereby the reinsurer, in consideration for a single premium
payment by the Company, provides Reinsurance equal to 100% of all payments
due under the Contract; and, 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).
These agreements had no material effect on net income for the years ended
December 1994, 1993, and 1992.
D. Other Transactions
A certificate of deposit issued by The Prudential Bank and Trust Company
of $50 million as of December 31, 1993 was not renewed in 1994. The
Company also received a $9 million payment settlement of a promissory note
from Pruco Inc. during 1993.
The Company has issued approximately 375 variable universal life contracts
to The Prudential for the purpose of funding non-qualified pension
benefits for certain employees. Included in insurance premiums and annuity
considerations for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 are
respectively, $12 million, $12 million and $13 million, which are
attributable to these contracts.
6. Dividends
The Company is subject to Arizona law which limits the amount of dividends
that insurance companies can pay to stockholders. The maximum dividend which
may be paid in any 12 month period without notification or approval is
limited to the lesser of 10% of surplus as of December 31 of the preceding
year or the net gain from operations of the preceding calendar year. Cash
dividends may only be paid out of surplus derived from realized net profits.
Based on these limitations and the Company's surplus position at December 31,
1994, the Company would be permitted a maximum of $60 million in dividend
distributions in 1995, all of which could be paid in cash, without approval
from The State of Arizona Department of Insurance.
7. 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.
Mortgage Loans. The fair value of the commercial mortgage and agricultural
loan portfolio is primarily based upon the present value of the scheduled
cash flows discounted at the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate, adjusted for the
current market spread for a similar quality mortgage. For certain
non-performing and other loans, fair value is based upon the value of the
underlying collateral.
Policy Loans. The estimated fair value 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, 1994 and 1993.

Various lawsuits against the Company have arisen in the course of the
Company's business. In certain of these matters, large and/or indeterminate
amounts are sought. In the opinion of the Company, any ultimate liability
which would result from such litigation would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position.

officers of The Prudential, any of its subsidiaries, or certain investment
companies affiliated with The Prudential. Coverage is also provided to the
individual directors or officers for such Loss, for which they shall not be
indemnified. Loss essentially is the legal liability on claims against a
director or officer, including adjudicated damages, settlements and reasonable
and necessary legal fees and expenses incurred in defense of adjudicatory
proceedings and appeals therefrom. Loss does not include punitive or exemplary
damages or the multiplied portion of any multiplied damage award, criminal or
civil fines or penalties imposed by law, taxes or wages, or matters which are
insurable under the law pursuant to which the policies are construed.
There are a number of exclusions from coverage. Among the matters excluded are
Losses arising as the result of (1) claims brought about or contributed to by
the criminal or deliberate fraudulent acts of a director or officer, and (2)
claims arising from actual or alleged performance of, or failure to perform,
services as, or in any capacity similar to, an investment adviser, investment
banker, underwriter, broker or dealer, as those terms are defined in the
Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, any rules or
regulations thereunder, or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or
regulation.
The limit of coverage under the Program for both individual and corporate
reimbursement coverage is $150,000,000. The retention for corporate
reimbursement coverage is $10,000,000 per loss.
The relevant provisions of New Jersey law permitting or requiring
indemnification, New Jersey being the state of organization of The Prudential,
can be found in Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated. The
relevant provisions of Arizona law, Arizona being the state of organization of
Pruco Life, can be found in Section 10-005 of the Arizona Statutes Annotated.
The text of The Prudential's by-law 27, which relates to indemnification of
officers and directors, is incorporated by reference to Exhibit (8) (ii) of
Post-Effective Amendment No. 26 to Form N-3, Registration No. 2-76580, filed
April xx, 1995, on behalf of The Prudential Variable Contract Account-10. The
text of Pruco Life's by-laws, Article VIII, 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.

Exhibit 3
April 24, 1995
Pruco Life Insurance Company
213 Washington Street
Newark, New Jersey 07102-2992
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Chief Legal Officer and Assistant Secretary of Pruco Life
Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), I have reviewed the establishment on April 17,
1989 of Pruco Life Variable Universal Account (the "Account") by the Executive
Committee of the Board of Directors of Pruco Life as a separate account for
assets applicable to certain variable life insurance contracts, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 20-651 of the Arizona Insurance Code. I am responsible for
oversight of the preparation and review of the Registration Statement on Form
S-6, as amended, filed by Pruco Life with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(Registration No. 33-29181 and 33-38271) under the Securities Act of 1933 for
the registration of certain variable universal life insurance contracts issued
with respect to the Account.
I am of the following opinion:
(1) Pruco Life was duly organized under the laws of Arizona 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 Arizona law.
(3) The portion of the assets held in the Account equal to the reserve and
other liabilities for variable benefits under the variable universal
life insurance contracts is not chargeable with liabilities arising
out of any other business Pruco Life may conduct.
(4) The variable universal life insurance contracts are legal and binding
obligations of Pruco Life 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 24, 1995
Pruco Life Insurance Company
213 Washington Street
Newark, New Jersey 07102-2992
To Pruco Life Insurance Company:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by Pruco Life
Insurance Company of variable universal life insurance contracts ("Contracts")
under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus included in Post-Effective
Amendment No. 8 to Registration Statement No. 33-29181 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 cash surrender values and death benefits included
in the prospectus 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 premiums and
benefits, as shown in the illustrations, appear more favorable to a
prospective purchaser of a Contract for male age 35 or male age 55,
than to prospective purchasers of Contracts on males of other ages or
on females.
(2) The illustrations of the effect of an increase in the Contract fund on
the increase in insurance amount shown in the section entitled "Death
Benefit" is consistent with the provisions of the Contract.
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,
John D. Coffin, FCAS, MAAA
Vice President and Assistant Actuary
The Prudential Insurance Company of America
