To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation:

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash
flows of American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation (an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., effective May 1, 2003) for the period
January 1, 2003 through April 30, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements, the Company has restated
its financial statements for the period January 1, 2003 through April 30, 2003.

The purchase method of accounting was used to record the fair values of assets
      acquired and liabilities assumed by Prudential Financial, Inc. and
  "pushed-down" to the Company. This accounting has most notably resulted in
   decreased amortization and depreciation compared to periods prior to the
Acquisition. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the Company,
    when indirectly wholly-owned by Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., and the
 Company, currently indirectly wholly-owned by Prudential Financial, Inc., are
                   not comparable in many material respects.

The purchase method of accounting was used to record the fair values of assets
      acquired and liabilities assumed by Prudential Financial, Inc. and
  "pushed-down" to the Company. This accounting has most notably resulted in
   decreased amortization and depreciation compared to periods prior to the
Acquisition. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the Company,
    when indirectly wholly-owned by Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., and the
 Company, currently indirectly wholly-owned by Prudential Financial, Inc., are
                   not comparable in many material respect.

The purchase method of accounting was used to record the fair values of assets
      acquired and liabilities assumed by Prudential Financial, Inc. and
  "pushed-down" to the Company. This accounting has most notably resulted in
   decreased amortization and depreciation compared to periods prior to the
Acquisition. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the Company,
    when indirectly wholly-owned by Skandia Insurance Company Ltd., and the
 Company, currently indirectly wholly-owned by Prudential Financial, Inc., are
                   not comparable in many material respects.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BUSINESS

American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation (the "Company"), with its principal
offices in Shelton, Connecticut, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Prudential Financial, Inc. ("Prudential Financial"), a New Jersey corporation.
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Skandia, Inc. ("ASI"),
which in turn is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial.
On December 19, 2002, Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. (publ) ("SICL"), an
insurance company organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden, and the
ultimate parent company of the Company prior to May 1, 2003, entered into a
definitive purchase agreement with Prudential Financial whereby Prudential
Financial would acquire the Company and certain of its affiliates (the
"Acquisition"). On May 1, 2003, the initial phase of the Acquisition was
consummated. This included Prudential Financial acquiring 90% of the
outstanding common stock of Skandia U.S. Inc. ("SUSI"), an indirect parent of
the Company. On September 9, 2003, Prudential Financial acquired the remaining
10% of SUSI's outstanding common stock (see Notes 4 and 6 for additional
information on the Acquisition).

The Company develops long-term savings and retirement products, which are
distributed through its affiliated broker/dealer company, American Skandia
Marketing, Incorporated. The Company currently issues variable deferred and
immediate annuities for individuals and groups in the United States of America
and its territories.

Prior to April 30, 2003, the Company had a 99.9% ownership in Skandia Vida,
S.A. de C.V. ("Skandia Vida") which is a life insurance company domiciled in
Mexico. Skandia Vida had total shareholders' equity of $5.0 million as of
December 31, 2002 and had generated losses of $2.2 million and $2.7 million for
the four months ended April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002,
respectively. As part of the Acquisition, the Company sold its ownership
interest in Skandia Vida to SICL on April 30, 2003 for $4.6 million. This
transaction resulted in a loss of $422 thousand.

American Skandia, Inc. ("ASI"), the direct parent of the Company, intends to
make additional capital contributions to the Company, as needed, to enable it
to comply with its reserve requirements and fund expenses in connection with
its business. The Company has complied with the National Association of
Insurance Commissioner's ("NAIC") Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") reporting
requirements and has total adjusted capital well above required capital. The
Company expects to maintain statutory capital above 300% of Company Action
Level Risk Based Capital. Generally, ASI is under no obligation to make such
contributions and its assets do not back the benefits payable under the
Company's policyholder contracts. The Company received no capital contributions
during the year ended December 31, 2004 and eight months ended December 31,
2003. The Company received capital contributions of $2.2 million and $259.7
million during the four months ended April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31,
2002, respectively. Of this, $1.3 million and $4.5 million, received during the
four months ended April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002, was used to
support its investment in Skandia Vida.

The Company is engaged in a business that is highly competitive because of the
large number of stock and mutual life insurance companies and other entities
engaged in marketing insurance products, and individual and group annuities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Restatement of Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002 have been restated to reflect the following:

Interest credited to policyholder's account balances, previously classified
within "Change in contractowner accounts" within cash flows from financing
activities, is now reported as a component of cash flows from operating
activities.

Changes in trading account assets, previously classified within "Proceeds from
the sale of equity securities" and "Payments for the purchase of shares in
equity" within cash flows from investing activities have been reclassified to
cash flows from operating activities in "adjustments to reconcile net income to
cash provided by operating activities".

The net change in the policy loans receivable, previously reported in cash
flows operating activities, is now reported as a component of cash flows of
investing activities.

Changes related to stock based compensation and deferred compensation programs,
previously classified within cash flows from financing activities, have been
reclassified to cash flows from operating activities within "Other, net".

                                      F-8


As a result of the restatements, previously reported cash flows from (used in)
operating activities, cash flows from (used in) investing activities and cash
flows from (used in) financing activities were increased or reduced for the
year ended December 31, 2005, the eight months ended December 31, 2003, the
four months ended April 2003, and the year ended December 31, 2002 as follows:

The restatements had no impact on the total change in cash and cash equivalents
within the Statements of Cash Flows or on the Statements of Operations or
Statements of Financial Position.

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
until April 30, 2003, its ownership interest in Skandia Vida. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company
has extensive transactions and relationships with Prudential affiliates, as
more fully described in Footnote 13. Due to these relationships, it is possible
that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would
result from transactions among wholly unrelated parties.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, in particular deferred policy acquisition costs
("DAC") and future policy benefits, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Investments

Fixed maturities classified as "available for sale" are carried at fair value.
The amortized cost of fixed maturities is written down to estimated fair value
if a decline in value is considered to be other than temporary. See the
discussion below on realized investment gains and losses for a description of
the accounting for impairment adjustments. Unrealized gains and losses on fixed
maturities "available for sale" are included in "Accumulated other
comprehensive (loss) income", net of income taxes.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Equity securities, trading, as of the date of the Acquisition, the Company
changed its classification of equity securities held in support of a deferred
compensation plan from available -for sale to trading. New management made this
decision to align with Prudential Financial's accounting policy. Prior to
May 1, 2003, these equity securities were carried at estimated fair value with
unrealized gains and losses included in "Accumulated other comprehensive (loss)
income", net of income taxes. These equity securities were fair valued on
May 1, 2003 under purchase accounting and, therefore, there was no income
statement impact for the change in classification. Such investments are now
carried at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses reported in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, as a
component of "Other income". The cost of equity securities is written down to
estimated fair value when a decline in value is considered to be other than
temporary. See the discussion below on realized investment gains and losses for
a description of the accounting for impairment adjustments.

Policy loans are carried at unpaid principal balances.

Short-term investments consist of highly liquid debt instruments with a
maturity of greater than three months and less than twelve months when
purchased. These investments are carried at amortized cost, which because of
their short-term nature, approximates fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" as amended, on January 1, 2001. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact on the results of operations of the
Company.

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, financial indices, or the value of securities or
commodities. Derivative financial instruments used by the Company include swaps
and futures, and may be exchange-traded or contracted in the over-the-counter
market. Derivative positions are carried at estimated fair value, generally by
obtaining quoted market prices or through the use of pricing models. Values can
be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit
spreads, market volatility and liquidity. Values can also be affected by
changes in estimates and assumptions used in pricing models.

Derivatives are used to manage the characteristics of the Company's
asset/liability mix, manage the interest rate and currency characteristics of
assets or liabilities. Additionally, derivatives may be used to seek to reduce
exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks associated with assets
held or expected to be purchased or sold, and liabilities incurred or expected
to be incurred.

The Company designates derivatives as either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or unrecognized firm commitment ("fair value"
hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash
flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability ("cash
flow" hedge), (3) a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge ("foreign
currency" hedge), (4) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or
(5) a derivative that does not qualify for hedge accounting. During the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 none of the Company's derivatives
qualified for hedge accounting treatment.

If a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair
value, including net receipts and payments, are included in "Realized
investment gains (losses), net" without considering changes in the fair value
of the economically associated assets or liabilities.

The Company is a party to financial instruments that may contain derivative
instruments that are "embedded" in the financial instruments. At inception, the
Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded
derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of
the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e., the host contract)
and whether a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded
instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When it is
determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic characteristics
that are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the
host contract, and (2) a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify
as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is separated from the host
contract, carried at fair value, and changes in its fair value are included in
"Realized investment gains (losses), net."

Realized investment (losses) gains, net are computed using the specific
identification method. Costs of fixed maturities and equity securities are
adjusted for impairments, which are declines in value that are considered to be
other than temporary. Impairment adjustments are included in "Realized
investment (losses) gains, net". In evaluating whether a decline in value is
other than temporary, the Company considers several factors including, but not
limited to the following: (1) whether the decline is substantial; (2) the
duration (generally greater than six months); (3) the reasons for the decline
in value (credit event, interest related or market fluctuation); (4) the
Company's ability and intent to hold the investments for a period of time to
allow for a recovery of value; and (5) the financial condition of and near-term
prospects of the issuer.

American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

There are a number of significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the
process of monitoring impairments and determining if an impairment is other
than temporary. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
(1) the risk that our assessment of an issuer's ability to meet its obligations
could change, (2) the risk that the economic outlook could be worse than
expected or have more of an impact on the issuer than anticipated, (3) the risk
that we are making decisions based on fraudulent or misstated information in
the financial statements provided by issuers and (4) the risk that new
information obtained by us or changes in other facts and circumstances,
including those not related to the issuer, could lead us to change our intent
to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value. Any of these
situations could result in a change in our impairment determination, and hence
a charge to earnings in a future period.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, money
market instruments, and other debt issues with a maturity of three months or
less when purchased.

Valuation of business acquired

As a result of purchase accounting, the Company reports a financial asset
representing the valuation of business acquired ("VOBA"). VOBA represents the
present value of future profits embedded in acquired insurance and annuity
contracts. VOBA is determined by estimating the net present value of future
cash flows from the contracts in force at the date of acquisition. Future
positive cash flows generally include fees and other charges assessed to the
contracts as long as they remain in force as well as fees collected upon
surrender, if applicable, while future negative cash flows include costs to
administer contracts and benefit payments. The Company amortizes VOBA over the
effective life of the acquired contracts. VOBA is amortized in proportion to
estimated gross profits arising from the contracts and anticipated future
experience, which is evaluated regularly. The effect of changes in estimated
gross profits on unamortized VOBA is reflected in "General, administrative and
other expenses" in the period such estimates of expected future profits are
revised.

Deferred policy acquisition costs

The costs that vary with and that are related primarily to the production of
new insurance and annuity business are deferred to the extent such costs are
deemed recoverable from future profits. Such costs include commissions, costs
of policy issuance and underwriting, and variable expenses. DAC is subject to
recoverability testing at the end of each accounting period. DAC, for
applicable products, is adjusted for the impact of unrealized gains or losses
on investments as if these gains or losses had been realized, with
corresponding credits or charges included in "Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss)."

Policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the expected life of
the contracts (approximately 25 years) in proportion to estimated gross profits
arising principally from investment results, mortality and expense margins, and
surrender charges based on historical and anticipated future experience, which
is updated periodically. The effect of changes to estimated gross profits on
unamortized deferred acquisition costs is reflected in "General administrative
and other expenses" in the period such estimated gross profits are revised. The
deferred policy acquisition cost asset was assigned a fair value of zero, net
of tax, as part of purchase accounting.

As asset growth rates, during 2002 and 2001, were far below the Company's
long-term assumption, the adjustment to the short-term asset growth rate had
risen to a level, before being capped, that in management's opinion was
excessive in the current market environment. Based on an analysis of those
short-term rates, the related estimates of future gross profits and an
impairment study, management of the Company determined that the short-term
asset growth rate should be reset to the level of the long-term growth rate
expectation as of September 30, 2002. This resulted in an acceleration of
amortization of approximately $206.0 million during 2002.

Throughout 2002, the Company also updated its future estimated gross profits
with respect to certain mortality assumptions reflecting actual experience and
the decline in the equity markets resulting in additional increased
amortization of approximately $72.0 million.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and securities lending
transactions

Securities repurchase and resale agreements and securities borrowed and loaned
transactions are used to generate income, to borrow funds, or to facilitate
trading activity. Securities repurchase and resale agreements are generally
short-term in nature, and therefore, the carrying amounts of these instruments
approximate fair value. Securities repurchase and resale agreements are
collateralized principally by U.S. government and government agency securities.
Securities borrowed or loaned are collateralized principally by cash or U.S.
government securities. For securities repurchase agreements and securities
loaned transactions used to generate income, the cash received is typically
invested in cash equivalents, short-term investments or fixed maturities.

                                     F-11


American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Securities repurchase and resale agreements that satisfy certain criteria are
treated as collateralized financing arrangements. These agreements are carried
at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently resold or
reacquired, as specified in the respective agreements. For securities purchased
under agreements to resell, the Company's policy is to take possession or
control of the securities and to value the securities daily. Securities to be
resold are the same, or substantially the same, as the securities received. For
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the market value of the
securities to be repurchased is monitored, and additional collateral is
obtained where appropriate, to protect against credit exposure. Securities to
be repurchased are the same, or substantially the same as those sold. Income
and expenses related to these transactions are reported as "Net investment
income."

Securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions are treated as financing
arrangements and are recorded at the amount of cash advanced or received. With
respect to securities loaned transactions, the Company obtains collateral in an
amount equal to 102% and 105% of the fair value of the domestic and foreign
securities, respectively. The Company monitors the market value of the
securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis with additional collateral
obtained or provided as necessary. Substantially all of the Company's
securities borrowed transactions are with brokers and dealers, commercial banks
and institutional clients. Substantially all of the Company's securities loaned
transactions are with large brokerage firms. Income and expenses associated
with securities borrowing transactions are reported as "Net investment income."
Income and expenses associated with securities loaned transactions used to
generate income are generally reported as "Net investment income;" however, for
securities loaned transactions used for funding purposes the associated rebate
is reported as interest expense (included in "General, administrative and other
expenses").

Separate account assets and liabilities

Separate account assets and liabilities are reported at fair value and
represent segregated funds, which are invested for certain policyholders and
other customers. "Separate account assets" are predominately shares in American
Skandia Trust co-managed by American Skandia Investment Services, Incorporated
("ASISI") and Prudential Investments LLC, which utilizes various fund managers
as sub-advisors. The remaining assets are shares in other mutual funds, which
are managed by independent investment firms. The contract holder has the option
of directing funds to a wide variety of investment options, most of which
invest in mutual funds. The investment risk on the variable portion of a
contract is borne by the contract holder, except to the extent of any
guarantees by the Company, which are not separate account liabilities. The
assets of each account are legally segregated and are generally not subject to
claims that arise out of any other business of the Company. The investment
income and gains or losses for separate accounts accrue to the policyholders
and are not included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Comprehensive Income. Mortality, policy administration and surrender charges on
the accounts are included in "Policy charges and fee income". Asset management
fees calculated on account assets are included in "Asset management fees".

Included in "Separate account liabilities" are reserves of $1.8 billion at
December 31, 2003 relating to deferred annuity investment options for which the
contract holder is guaranteed a fixed rate of return. Prior to the adoption of
SOP 03-1, these reserves were calculated using the Commissioners Annuity
Reserve Valuation Method. "Separate account assets" of $1.8 billion at
December 31, 2003, consisting of fixed maturities, equity securities,
short-term securities, cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income,
accrued liabilities and amounts due to/from the General Account, are held in
support of these annuity obligations, pursuant to state regulation.

Included in the general account, within "Policyholders' account balances", is
the difference between the statutory liability, which is held in the separate
account, and the U.S. GAAP liability associated with the guaranteed, fixed rate
investment options. As of January 1, 2004, these assets and liabilities were
classified as assets and liabilities of the general account.

Deferred purchase credits

The Company provides sales inducements to contract holders, which reflect an
up-front bonus added to the contract holder's initial deposit for certain
annuity contracts. These costs are deferred and recognized in "Deferred
purchase credits". They are amortized using the same methodology and
assumptions used to amortize DAC. The amortization expense is included as a
component of "Interest credited to policyholders' account balances".

Prior to May 1, 2003, the Company deferred certain bonus credits applied to
contract holder deposits. The credit was reported as a contract holder
liability within "Separate account liabilities" and the deferred expense was
reported as a component of "Other assets". As the contract holder must keep the
contract in-force for 10 years to earn the bonus credit, the Company amortized
the deferred expense on a straight-line basis over 10 years. If the contract
holder surrenders the contract or the contract holder dies prior to the end of
10 years, the bonus credit is returned to the Company. This component of the
bonus credit was amortized in proportion to expected surrenders and mortality.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the unearned performance credit asset was $0
and $83.3 million, respectively. The deferred bonus credit asset was assigned a
fair value of zero as part of purchase accounting. Updated versions of the
Company's core products no longer contain this feature.

Other assets and other liabilities

"Other assets" consists primarily of a receivable from SICL and accruals of
fund manager income. "Other liabilities" consists primarily of accrued
expenses, technical overdrafts and a liability to the participants of a
deferred compensation plan.

"Other assets" also consists of state insurance licenses. Licenses to do
business in all states have been capitalized and reflected at the purchase
price of $4.0 million at December 31, 2003. Due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the cost of the licenses is no longer
being amortized but is subjected to an annual impairment test. As of
December 31, 2004, the Company estimated the fair value of the state insurance
licenses to be in excess of book value and, therefore, no impairment charge was
required.

Future policy benefits

The Company's liability for future policy benefits is primarily comprised of
the present value of estimated future payments to or on behalf of
policyholders, where the timing and amount of payment depends on policyholder
mortality, less the present value of future net premiums. Expected mortality is
generally based on the Company's historical experience or standard industry
tables. Interest rate assumptions are based on factors such as market
conditions and expected investment returns. Although mortality and interest
rate assumptions are "locked-in" upon the issuance of new insurance or annuity
business with fixed and guaranteed terms, significant changes in experience or
assumptions may require the Company to provide for expected future losses on a
product by establishing premium deficiency reserves. The Company's liability
for future policy benefits is also inclusive of liabilities for guarantee
benefits related to certain nontraditional long-duration life and annuity
contracts, which are discussed more fully in Note 7.

Policyholders' account balances

The Company's liability for policyholders' account balances represents the
contract value that has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder as of the
balance sheet date. This liability is generally equal to the accumulated
account deposits, plus interest credited, less policyholder withdrawals and
other charges assessed against the account balance. These policyholders'
account balances also include provision for benefits under non-life contingent
payout annuities.

Contingencies

Amounts related to contingencies are accrued if it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. Management evaluates
whether there are incremental legal or other costs directly associated with the
ultimate resolution of the matter that are reasonably estimable and, if so,
they are included in the accrual.

Insurance revenue and expense recognition

Revenues for variable deferred annuity contracts consist of charges against
contract owner account values or separate accounts for mortality and expense
risks, administration fees, surrender charges and an annual maintenance fee per
contract. Revenues for mortality and expense risk charges and administration
fees are recognized as assessed against the contract holder. Surrender charge
revenue is recognized when the surrender charge is assessed against the
contract holder at the time of surrender. Annual maintenance fees are earned
ratably throughout the year.

Benefit reserves for the variable investment options on annuity contracts
represent the account value of the contracts and are included in "Separate
account liabilities".

Revenues for variable immediate annuity and supplementary contracts with life
contingencies consist of certain charges against contract owner account values
including mortality and expense risks and administration fees. These charges
and fees are recognized as revenue as assessed against the contract holder.
Benefit reserves for variable immediate annuity contracts represent the account
value of the contracts and are included in "Separate account liabilities".

For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, revenues for the market value
adjusted fixed investment option on annuity contracts consist of separate
account investment income reduced by amounts credited to the contract holder
for interest. This net spread is included in "Net investment income (loss)" on
the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Benefit
reserves for these contracts represent the account value of the contracts plus
a market value adjustment, and are included in the general account
"Policyholders' account balances" to the extent in excess of the separate
account assets, typically for the market value adjustment at the reporting
date. As of January 1, 2004, assets and liabilities as well as related revenues
and expenses associated with the market value fixed investment option have been
classified and reported in a manner consistent with the general account.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenues for fixed immediate annuity and fixed supplementary contracts with and
without life contingencies consist of net investment income. In additon,
revenues for fixed immediate annuity contracts with life contingencies also
consist of single premium payments recognized as annuity considerations when
received. Benefit reserves for these contracts are based on applicable
actuarial standards with assumed interest rates that vary by issue year.
Reserves for contracts without life contingencies are included in
"Policyholders' account balances" while reserves for contracts with life
contingencies are included in "future policy benefits and other policyholder
liabilities". Assumed interest rates ranged from 5.50% to 8.25% at December 31,
2004 and 2003.

Revenues for variable life insurance contracts consist of charges against
contract owner account values or separate accounts for mortality and expense
risk fees, administration fees, cost of insurance fees, taxes and surrender
charges. Certain contracts also include charges against premium to pay state
premium taxes. All of these charges are recognized as revenue when assessed
against the contract holder. Benefit reserves for variable life insurance
contracts represent the account value of the contracts and are included in
"Separate account liabilities".

Certain annuity contracts provide the holder a guarantee that the benefit
received upon death will be no less than a minimum prescribed amount that is
based upon a combination of net deposits to the contract, net deposits to the
contract accumulated at a specified rate or the highest historical account
value on a contract anniversary. To the extent the guaranteed minimum death
benefit ("GMDB") exceeds the current account value at the time of death, the
Company incurs a cost that is recorded as "Policyholders' benefits" for the
period in which death occurs. GMDB and living benefit guarantees offered by the
Company are discussed in further detail in Note 7.

Premiums, benefits and expenses are stated net of reinsurance ceded to other
companies. Estimated reinsurance recoverables and the cost of reinsurance are
recognized over the life of the reinsured policies using assumptions consistent
with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Foreign currency translation adjustments

Prior to the acquisition, the financial position and results of operations of
Skandia Vida were measured using local currency as the functional currency.
Assets and liabilities were translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in
effect at the end of the period. Revenues, benefits and other expenses were
translated at the average rate prevailing during the period. Cumulative
translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from
period to period were charged or credited directly to "Other comprehensive
(loss) income." The cumulative effect of changes in foreign exchange rates was
included in "Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income".

Asset management fees

In accordance with an agreement with ASISI, the Company receives fee income
calculated on policyholder account balances invested in the American Skandia
Trust. In addition, the Company receives fees calculated on policyholder
account balances invested in funds managed by companies other than ASISI. Asset
management fees are recognized as income when earned. These revenues are
recorded as "Asset management fees" in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Income taxes

Prior to the acquisition of SUSI by Prudential Financial, the Company was
included in the consolidated federal income tax return of SUSI and filed
separate state income tax returns. Due to provisions in the Internal Revenue
Code, the Company will not be eligible to join in the filing of the Prudential
Financial consolidated federal income tax return until 2009. As a result, the
Company will file a separate federal tax return through 2008. In addition, the
Company will continue to file separate state income tax returns.

Deferred income taxes are recognized, based on enacted rates, when assets and
liabilities have different values for financial statement and tax reporting
purposes. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to
the amount expected to be realized.

Future fees payable to ASI

In a series of transactions with ASI, the Company sold certain rights to
receive a portion of future fees and contract charges expected to be realized
on designated blocks of deferred annuity contracts. The proceeds from the sales
have been recorded as a liability and are being amortized over the remaining
surrender charge period of the designated contracts using the interest method.

Stock options

Effective January 1, 2003, Prudential Financial changed its accounting for
employee stock options to adopt the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for stock Based Compensation" as amended, prospectively
for all new awards granted to employees on or after January 1, 2003.
Accordingly, results of operations of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and eight months ended December 31, 2003, include costs of
$742 thousand and $106 thousand, respectively, associated with stock-based
compensation issued by Prudential Financial to certain employees and
non-employees of the Company and the statements of financial position at
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, includes a reduction in equity for
deferred compensation. Prior to January 1, 2003, Prudential Financial accounted
for employee stock options using the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Under
this method, Prudential Financial and the Company did not recognize any
stock-based compensation costs as all options granted had an exercise price
equaled to the market value of Prudential Financial's Common Stock on the date
of grant. Prudential Financial and the Company account for non-employee stock
options using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 in accordance with Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue ("EITF") No. 96-18 "Accounting for Equity Instruments
That Are Issued to Other Than Employees" and related interpretations in
accounting for its non-employee stock options.

New accounting pronouncements

In March 2004, the EITF of the FASB reached a final consensus on Issue 03-1,
"The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain
Investments." This Issue establishes impairment models for determining whether
to record impairment losses associated with investments in certain equity and
debt securities. It also requires income to be accrued on a level-yield basis
following an impairment of debt securities, where reasonable estimates of the
timing and amount of future cash flows can be made. The Company's policy is
generally to record income only as cash is received following an impairment of
a debt security. In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP")
EITF 03-1-1, which defers the effective date of a substantial portion of EITF
03-1, from the third quarter of 2004, as originally required by the EITF, until
such time as FASB issues further implementation guidance, which is expected
sometime in 2005. The Company will continue to monitor developments concerning
this Issue and is currently unable to estimate the potential effects of
implementing EITF 03-1 on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities," which revised the original FIN No. 46 guidance issued in
January 2003. FIN No. 46(R) addresses whether certain types of entities,
referred to as variable interest entities ("VIEs"), should be consolidated in a
company's financial statements. A VIE is an entity that either (1) has equity
investors that lack certain essential characteristics of a controlling
financial interest (including the ability to control the entity, the obligation
to absorb the entity's expected losses and the right to receive the entity's
expected residual returns) or (2) lacks sufficient equity to finance its own
activities without financial support provided by other entities, which in turn
would be expected to absorb at least some of the expected losses of the VIE. An
entity should consolidate a VIE if, as the primary beneficiary, it stands to
absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses or to receive a majority of the
VIE's expected residual returns. On December 31, 2003, the Company adopted FIN
No. 46(R) for all special purpose entities ("SPEs") and for relationships with
all VIEs that began on or after February 1, 2003. On March 31, 2004, the
Company implemented FIN No. 46(R) for relationships with potential VIEs that
are not SPEs. The adoption of FIN No. 46(R) did not have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement
of Position ("SOP") 03-1, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises
for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts".
AcSEC issued the SOP 03-1 to address the need for interpretive guidance to be
developed in three areas: separate account presentation and valuation; the
accounting recognition given sales inducements (bonus interest, bonus credits,
persistency bonuses); and the classification and valuation of certain
long-duration contract liabilities.

The Company adopted SOP 3-01 effective January 1, 2004. The effect of initially
adopting SOP 03-1 was a charge of $17.1 million, net of $9.4 million of taxes,
which was reported as a "cumulative effect of accounting change, net of taxes"
in the results of operations for year ended December 31, 2004. This charge
reflects the net impact of converting certain individual market value adjusted
annuity contracts from separate account accounting treatment to general account
accounting treatment and the effect of establishing reserves for guaranteed
minimum death benefit provisions of the Company's annuity contracts. The
Company also recognized a cumulative effect of accounting change related to
unrealized investment gains within "Other comprehensive income, net of taxes"
of $3.4 million, net of $1.9 million of taxes. Upon adoption of SOP 3-01 $1.8
billion in "separate account assets" were reclassified resulting in a $1.7
billion increase in "fixed maturities, available for sale," as well as changes
in other non-separate account assets. Similarly, upon adoption, $1.8 billion in
"separate account liabilities" were reclassified resulting in increases in
"policyholders' account balances," as well as changes in other non-separate
account liabilities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

As of December 31, 2004, the death benefit coverage in force (representing the
amount that we would have to pay if all annuitants had died on that date) was
approximately $2.9 billion. The death benefit coverage in force represents the
excess of the guaranteed benefit amount over the account value. The GMDB
feature provides annuity contract holders with a guarantee that the benefit
received at death will be no less than a prescribed minimum amount. This
minimum amount is generally based on the net deposits paid into the contract
and, for greater than 80% of the business in force as of December 31, 2004,
this minimum guarantee is applicable only for the first ten contract years or
until a specified attained age. To the extent that the GMDB is higher than the
current account value at the time of death, the Company incurs a cost. This
results in increased annuity policy benefits in periods of declining financial
markets and in periods of stable financial markets following a decline.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company adopted SOP 03-1, which requires us to
record such a liability based on application of an expected benefit ratio to
"cumulative assessments" through the balance sheet date, and then subtracting
"cumulative excess payments" from that date. The GMDB reserve as of
December 31, 2004 amounted to $26.4 million. See Note 7 for further details.

In addition to establishing a liability associated with the GMDB feature, SOP
03-1 required a change in valuation and presentation of our liability
associated with the market value adjustment ("MVA") feature contained in
certain annuity contracts. The MVA feature requires the Company to pay to the
contract holder upon surrender the accreted value of the fund as well as a MVA
based on the crediting rates on the contract surrendered compared to crediting
rates on newly issued contracts. The MVA may increase or decrease the amount
due to the contract holder. At December 31, 2003, this liability was recorded
at market value, which considered the effects of unrealized gains and losses in
contract value resulting from changes in crediting rates. Upon adoption of SOP
03-1, the Company reclassified this liability from "Separate account
liabilities" to "Policyholders' account balances" and reduced it by $117.1
million to reflect accreted value, which excludes the effect of unrealized
gains and losses in contract value resulting from changes in crediting rates.
However, in valuing the valuation of business acquired ("VOBA") established at
the date of acquisition, we considered the effect of unrealized gains and
losses in contract value associated with annuities containing the MVA feature
on future cash flows. As a result, the reduction in the liability for the MVA
feature resulted in a net decrease in VOBA of $128.9 million, and lower future
amortization. See Note 7 for further details.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that an
intangible asset acquired either individually or with a group of other assets
shall initially be recognized and measured based on fair value. An intangible
asset with a finite life is amortized over its useful life to the reporting
entity; an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, including goodwill,
is not amortized. All intangible assets shall be tested for impairment in
accordance with the statement. The Company applied the new rules on the
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets in the first quarter of
2002. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not have a significant impact on the
Company's financial statements.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150
generally applies to instruments that are mandatorily redeemable, that
represent obligations that will be settled with a variable number of company
shares, or that represent an obligation to purchase a fixed number of company
shares. For instruments within its scope, the statement requires classification
as a liability with initial measurement at fair value. Subsequent measurement
depends upon the certainty of the terms of the settlement (such as amount and
timing) and whether the obligation will be settled by a transfer of assets or
by issuance of a fixed or variable number of equity shares. The Company's
adoption of SFAS No. 150, as of July 1, 2003, did not have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for
costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured
initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 146, such amounts were recorded upon the Company's
commitment to a restructuring plan. The Company will adopt this statement for
applicable transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2003.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 expands existing accounting guidance and
disclosure requirements for certain guarantees and requires the recognition of
a liability for the fair value of certain types of guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The January 1, 2003 adoption of the
Interpretation's guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position.

Reclassifications

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

As of the date of the Acquisition, the Company changed its classification of
equity securities held in support of a deferred compensation plan from
available for sale to trading. New management made this decision to align with
Prudential Financial's accounting policy. These equity securities were fair
valued on May 1, 2003 under purchase accounting and, therefore, there was no
income statement impact for the change in classification. Such investments are
now carried at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses reported
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, as a
component of "Other income".

All fixed maturities and equity securities, which are in an unrealized loss
position as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, have been in such a position for
less than 12 months as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Based on
the above information in conjunction with other factors as outlined in our
policy surrounding other than temporary impairments (see Note 2), we have
concluded that an adjustment for other than temporary impairments is not
warranted at December 31, 2004 or 2003. Writedowns for impairments which were
deemed to be other than temporary for equity securities was $3.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002. There were no writedowns during the other
periods.

3. INVESTMENTS (continued)

Securities Pledged and Special Deposits

The Company pledges investment securities it owns to unaffiliated parties
through securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions. At
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying value of fixed maturities available
for sale pledged to third parties as reported in the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Position were $33.4 million and $20.9 million, respectively.

Fixed maturities of $4.7 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively, were on deposit with governmental authorities or trustees
as required by certain insurance laws.

4. PURCHASE PRICE AND INTEGRATION

Prudential Financial's acquisition of SUSI was accounted for by applying the
purchase method of accounting prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141. The purchase accounting adjustments have been "pushed-down"
to the Company, as applicable. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities assumed
of SUSI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including the Company, were recorded
at their fair values as of the date of acquisition. The most significant
adjustments related to the value of the unamortized DAC asset being assigned a
value of zero, the future fees payable to ASI liability was decreased by $256.6
million and an asset for VOBA was established for $440.1 million. The
allocation of the purchase price attributed to the Company at May 1, 2003, was
as follows (in thousands):

Total investments at market value $    479,046
Cash and cash equivalents               28,018
VOBA                                   440,130

                                  ============

Included in other liabilities above is an accrual of approximately $55 million
representing costs relating to severance, consolidation of leased office space
and other exit costs expected to be incurred as a result of the integration of
the Company with Prudential Financial, of which $14.7 million has been paid
through December 31, 2004. The integration is expected to continue through the
first quarter of 2005. During 2003, the distribution, marketing and product
development functions as well as many administrative, support, and control
functions were combined and assimilated. In 2004, integration efforts included
consolidating systems platforms and operating functions. Key management from
both organizations have been retained, and all major decisions related to the
integration have been communicated. As of December 31, 2004, the integration of
the Company is substantially complete.

(1)The average expected life of VOBA was approximately 10 years from the date
   of acquisition.
(2)The interest accrual rates was 5.9% for the VOBA related to the businesses
   acquired.

Certain contracts issued by the Company include a market value adjustment
("MVA") feature that requires the Company to pay to the contractholder upon
surrender the accreted value of the fund as well as a market value adjustment
based on the crediting rates on the contract surrendered compared to crediting
rates on newly issued contracts or index rate at time of surrender, if
applicable. As of December 31, 2003, this liability was reflected at market
value, which considers the effects of unrealized gains and losses in contract
value resulting from changes in crediting rates. Upon the adoption of SOP 03-1
on January 1, 2004, the Company changed its accounting for American Skandia's
contracts containing MVA features as described previously under "New Accounting
Pronouncements." The Company's net VOBA balance decreased $130 million upon the
adoption of SOP 03-1, primarily due to the change in the liability for the MVA
feature since the expected cash flows on this business in force at the time of
acquisition that corresponded to obligations covered by SOP 03-1 were
considered in establishing the initial VOBA.

Estimated future net amortization of VOBA as of December 31, 2004 is as follows
  (in thousands):

2005                $ 37,084
2006                  31,901

7. CERTAIN NONTRADITIONAL LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS

The Company issues traditional variable annuity contracts through its separate
accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue
directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder. The Company
also issues variable annuity contracts with separate account options where the
Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder a return of no less
than (a) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals,
(b) total deposits made to the contract less any partial withdrawals plus a
minimum return ("minimum return"), or (c) the highest contract value on a
specified anniversary date minus any withdrawals following the contract
anniversary ("anniversary contract value"). These guarantees include benefits
that are payable in the event of death, annuitization or at specified dates
during the accumulation period.

The Company also issues annuity contracts with market value adjusted investment
options ("MVAs"), which provide for a return of principal plus a fixed rate of
return if held to maturity, or, alternatively, a "market adjusted value" if
surrendered prior to maturity. The market value adjustment may result in a gain
or loss to the Company, depending on crediting rates or an indexed rate at
surrender, as applicable.

The assets supporting the variable portion of both traditional variable
annuities and certain variable contracts with guarantees are carried at fair
value and reported as "Separate account assets" with an equivalent amount
reported as "Separate account liabilities." Amounts assessed against the
contract holders for mortality, administration, and other services are included
within revenue in "Policy charges and fee income" and changes in liabilities
for minimum guarantees are generally included in "Policyholders' benefits".

7. CERTAIN NONTRADITIONAL LONG-DURATION CONTRACTS (continued)

In 2004 there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general
account to a separate account.

For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the
net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death
benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. For
guarantees of benefits that are payable at annuitization, the net amount at
risk is generally defined as the present value of the minimum guaranteed
annuity payments available to the contract holder determined in accordance with
the terms of the contract in excess of the current account balance. For
guarantees of accumulation balances, the net amount at risk is generally
defined as the guaranteed minimum accumulation balance minus the current
account balance. The Company's contracts with guarantees may offer more than
one type of guarantee in each contract; therefore, the amounts listed may not
be mutually exclusive. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had the following
guarantees associated with its contracts, by product and guarantee type:

contracts with guarantees, inclusive of contracts with MVA features, were
invested in general account investment options.

Liabilities For Guarantee Benefits

The table below summarizes the changes in general account liabilities for
guarantees on variable contracts. The liabilities for GMDB and guaranteed
minimum income benefits ("GMIB") are included in the "Future policy benefits"
and the related changes in the liabilities are included in "Policyholders'
benefits.". Guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWB") and guaranteed
return option ("GRO") features are considered to be derivatives under SFAS
No. 133, and changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized through
"Realized investment gains (losses), net." At December 31, 2004, the
liabilities recorded related to these derivatives were insignificant.

The GMDB liability is determined each period end by estimating the accumulated
value of a percentage of the total assessments to date less the accumulated
value of the death benefits in excess of the account balance. The percentage of
assessments used is chosen such that, at the acquisition date the present value
of expected death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and the
percentage of the present value of total expected assessments over the lifetime
of the contracts are equal. The Company regularly evaluates the estimates used
and adjusts the additional GMDB liability balances, with a related charge or
credit to earnings, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that
earlier assumptions should be revised. The GMIB liability was determined at
December 31, 2004 by estimating the accumulated value of a percentage of the
total assessments to date less the accumulated value of the projected income
benefits in excess of the account balance.

The present value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance
and the present value of total expected assessments for GMDB's was determined
over a reasonable range of stochastically generated scenarios. For variable
annuities, 5,000 scenarios were stochastically generated and, from these, 200
scenarios were selected using a sampling technique.

The GRO features predominantly provide for a guaranteed return of initial
account value over a contractually defined period equal to seven years. One
other variation of the GRO feature has an additional optional benefit that will
provide for a base guarantee of account value seven years after the benefit is
effective and every anniversary date thereafter and, if elected, an enhanced
guarantee equal to the account value seven years after the effective date of
any "step-up" and every anniversary date thereafter. All guaranteed amounts
include any additional purchase payments and credits less withdrawals.
Significant or prolonged declines in the value of any variable investment
options a customer may choose as part of their GRO benefit may result in all or
a substantial portion of their account values being allocated to fixed
investment allocations, in conjunction with the Company's automatic rebalancing
program associated with this feature.

The GMWB features provide the contractholder with a guaranteed remaining
balance if the account value is reduced to zero through a combination of market
declines and withdrawals. The guaranteed remaining balance is generally equal
to the protected value under the contract, which is initially established as
the greater of the account value or cumulative premiums when withdrawals
commence, less cumulative withdrawals. The contractholder also has the option,
after a specified time period, to reset the guaranteed remaining balance to the
then-current account value, if greater.

Sales Inducements

The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the
policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize deferred
policy acquisition costs. These deferred sales inducements are included in
"Deferred Purchase Credits" in the Company's Statements of Financial Position.
The Company offers a bonus whereby the policyholder's initial account balance
is increased by an amount equal to a specified percentage of the customer's
initial deposit. Changes in deferred sales inducements are as follows:

8. REINSURANCE

The Company cedes insurance to other insurers in order to fund the cash strain
generated from commission costs on current sales and to limit its risk
exposure. The Company uses modified coinsurance reinsurance arrangements
whereby the reinsurer shares in the experience of a specified book of business.
These reinsurance transactions result in the Company receiving from the
reinsurer an upfront ceding commission on the book of business ceded in
exchange for the reinsurer receiving in the future, a percentage of the future
fees generated from that book of business. Such transfer does not relieve the
Company of its primary liability and, as such, failure of reinsurers to honor
their obligation could result in losses to the Company. The Company reduces
this risk by evaluating the financial condition and credit worthiness of
reinsurers.

The effect of reinsurance for the year ended December 31, 2004, eight months
ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003, and year ended

The Company's federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, totaling
approximately $64 million will expire, if not used, between 2009 and 2019.

Management believes that based on its historical pattern of taxable income, the
Company will produce sufficient income in the future to realize its deferred
tax assets. It is intended that the Company will join in the consolidated
federal income tax return of Prudential Financial once it becomes an eligible
company. A valuation allowance would be recorded in the event of a change in
management's assessment of the amount of the deferred tax asset that is
realizable.

10. STATUTORY NET INCOME AND SURPLUS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance
with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut
Insurance Department. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include
publications of the NAIC, as well as state laws, regulations and general
administrative rules. Statutory accounting practices primarily differ from U.S.
GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing
future policy benefit liabilities using different actuarial assumptions and
valuing investments, deferred taxes, and certain assets on a different basis.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

10. STATUTORY NET INCOME AND SURPLUS AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS (continued)

Statutory net income (loss) of the Company amounted to $101.1 million, ($13.7)
million and ($192.5) million, for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and
2002, respectively. Statutory surplus of the Company amounted to $399.0 million
and $329.5 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Without prior approval of its domiciliary commissioner, dividends to
shareholders are limited by the laws of the Company's state of incorporation,
Connecticut. The State of Connecticut restricts dividend payments to the
greater of 10% of the prior year's surplus or net gain from operations from the
prior year. Net gain from operations is defined as income after taxes but prior
to realized capital gains, as reported on the Summary of Operations. Based on
2004 earnings, there is capacity to pay a dividend of $99.2 million without
prior approval in 2005.

11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair values presented below have been determined using available
market information and by applying valuation methodologies. Considerable
judgment is applied in interpreting data to develop the estimates of fair
value. Estimated fair values 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 estimated fair values (for all other
financial instruments presented in the table, the carrying value approximates
estimated fair value).

Fixed maturities and Equity securities

Estimated fair values for fixed maturities and equity securities are based on
quoted market prices or estimates from independent pricing services.

The following table discloses the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of
the Company's financial instruments at December 31:

12. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

Contingencies

On an ongoing basis, our internal supervisory and control functions review the
quality of our sales, marketing, annuity administration and servicing, and
other customer interface procedures and practices and may recommend
modifications or enhancements. From time to time this review process results in
the discovery of product administration, servicing or other errors, including

cases, we offer customers appropriate remediation and may incur charges,
including the costs of such remediation, administrative costs and regulatory
fines.

12. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION (continued)

It is possible that the results of operations or the cash flow of the Company
in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected as a
result of payments in connection with the matters discussed above depending, in
part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. Management
believes, however, that the ultimate payments in connection with these matters,
after consideration of applicable reserves and indemnification, should not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course
of its businesses, including class actions and individual lawsuits. Pending
legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of the
businesses and operations that are specific to the Company and that are typical
of the businesses in which the Company operates. Class action and individual
lawsuits involve a variety of issues and/or allegations, which include sales
practices, underwriting practices, claims payment and procedures, premium
charges, policy servicing and breach of fiduciary duties to customers. We are
also subject to litigation arising out of our general business activities, such
as our investments and third party contracts. In certain of these matters, the
plaintiffs are seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive
or exemplary damages.

The Company and other American Skandia entities have received formal requests
for information from regulators including, among others, the New York Attorney
General's Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with
its variable annuity businesses. The Company and other American Skandia
entities are engaged in ongoing discussions with the above organizations and
are fully cooperating with them. The Company believes these matters are likely
to lead to proceedings and/or settlements. The Company has expanded the
disclosure in its variable annuity prospectuses concerning its policies and
procedures regarding market timing, and the discussions with the above
organizations have focused on the Company's previous disclosures relating to
these policies and procedures.

In recent years, a number of annuity companies have been named as defendants in
class action lawsuits relating to the use of variable annuities as funding
vehicles for tax-qualified retirement accounts. The Company was a defendant in
one lawsuit, a purported nationwide class action complaint, filed in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York in December 2002,
Donovan v. American Skandia Life Ass. Corp. et al. The complaint alleged that
the Company and certain of its affiliates violated federal securities laws in
marketing variable annuities and sought injunctive relief and compensatory
damages in unspecified amounts. In July 2003, the court granted the Company's
motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. As previously reported, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, upheld the dismissal in
May 2004. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied
plaintiffs petition for the appeal to be reheard en banc and plaintiffs sought
review by the United States Supreme Court, which request was denied.

The Company's parent and sole shareholder, ASI, initially was a named defendant
in six purported nationwide class action lawsuits. Each of these lawsuits
alleged that ASI and others violated federal securities laws in connection with
late trading and market timing activities and seeks remedies, including
compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts. The cases are as
follows: Lowinger v. Invesco Advantage Health Sciences Fund, et al., filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in
December, 2003 and served on ASI in February, 2004; Russo, et al. v. Invesco
Advantage Health Sciences Fund, et al., filed in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York in December, 2003, this suit has
not been served on ASI; Lori Weinrib v. Invesco Advantage Health Sciences Fund,
et al., filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York in January, 2004, this suit has not been served on ASI; Erhlich v.
Invesco Advantage Health Sciences Fund et al., filed in the United States
District Court for the District of Colorado in December, 2003, this suit was
served on ASI in February, 2004; Fattah v. Invesco Advantage Health Sciences
Fund, et al., filed in the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado in December, 2003, this suit has not been served on ASI. These cases
have been consolidated in multi-district litigation located in the Baltimore
Division of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.
Consolidated amended complaints were filed in the multi-district litigation in
September, 2004, and ASI was not named as a defendant.

The Company is also aware that ASI may be a defendant designated as one of
"Does 1-500" in a suit filed in October, 2003 in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California entitled Mike Sayegh v. Janus
Capital Corporation, et al. This suit alleges that various defendants engaged
in improper late trading and market timing activities in various funds also
named as defendants. The complaint further alleges that such activities were in
violation of California Business and Professional Code Section 17200. This suit
has not been served on ASI. This suit has been included in the multi-district
action, discussed above.

The Company's litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and given its
complexity and scope, the outcomes cannot be predicted. It is possible that the
results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in a particular quarterly
or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable
resolution of pending litigation and regulatory matters. Management believes,
however, that the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory
matters, after consideration of applicable reserves and indemnification, should
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

12. CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION (continued)

It should be noted that the judgments, settlements and expenses associated with
many of these lawsuits, administrative and regulatory matters, and
contingencies, including the complaints described above, may, in whole or in
part, after satisfaction of certain retention requirements, fall within Skandia
Insurance Company Ltd. (SICL) indemnification obligations to PFI and its
subsidiaries under the terms of the Acquisition. Those obligations of SICL
provide for indemnification of certain judgments, settlements, and costs and
expenses associated with lawsuits and other claims against the Company
("matters"), and apply only to matters, or groups of related matters, for which
the costs and expenses exceed $25,000 individually. Those obligations only
apply to such costs and expenses that exceed $10 million in the aggregate,
subject to reduction for insurance proceeds, certain accruals and any tax
benefit applicable to such amounts, and those obligations do not apply to the
extent that such aggregate exceeds $1 billion.

Cost Allocation Agreements with Affiliates

Certain operating costs (including rental of office space, furniture, and
equipment) have been charged to the Company at cost by American Skandia
Information Services and Technology Corporation ("ASIST"), an affiliated
company. ASLAC signed a written service agreement with ASIST for these services
executed and approved by the Connecticut Insurance Department in 1995. This
agreement automatically continues in effect from year to year and may be
terminated by either party upon 30 days written notice.

Allocated depreciation expense was $6.5 million, $4.2 million, $2.2 million,
and $7.4 million for the year ended December 31,2004, and the eight months
ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003, and the year ended
December 31, 2002, respectively. Allocated lease expense was $9.1 million, $4.6

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

The Company and ASM have a written Service Agreement, approved by the
Connecticut Insurance Department on September 13, 1996, whereby ASM pays, on
behalf of the Company, information consulting fees payable in connection with
the sale of the Company's insurance products. The Company reimburses ASM for
ASM's payment of such fees on the Company's behalf. The Company paid ASM $32.8
million, $21.4 million, $9.6 million and $34.2 million during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2004, eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months
ended April 30, 2003, and year ended December 31, 2002, respectively, pursuant
to the agreement. This Agreement will automatically continue in effect from
year to year. This Agreement may be terminated upon 30-calendar days' written
notice to the other party.

The Company pays commissions and certain other fees to ASM in consideration for
ASM's marketing and underwriting of the Company's products, which commissions
and fees are paid by ASM to unaffiliated broker-dealers who sell the Company's
products. Commissions and fees paid by the Company to ASM during the year ended
December 31, 2004, eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended
April 30, 2003, and year ended December 31, 2002 were $222.0 million, $136.5
million, $46.0 million and $193.4 million, respectively.

Reinsurance Agreements

During 2004, we entered into two new reinsurance agreements with affiliates as
part of our risk management and capital management strategies. We entered into
a 100% coinsurance agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America
providing for the reinsurance of our guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit
feature (GMWB). We also entered into a 100% coinsurance agreement with Pruco
Reinsurance providing for the reinsurance of our guaranteed return option
(GRO). In prior years, the Company entered into reinsurance agreements to
provide additional capacity for growth in supporting the cash flow strain from
the Company's variable annuity and variable life insurance business.

Debt Agreements
Short-term borrowing
The Company had a $10.0 million short-term loan payable to ASI at December 31,
2004 and 2003 as part of a revolving loan agreement. The loan had an interest
rate of 2.66% and matured on January 30, 2005. The loan was subsequently rolled
over with a new interest rate of 2.66% and a new maturity date of April 30,
2005. The total related interest expense to the Company was $232 thousand, $116
thousand, $60 thousand and $271 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2004,
eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003, and

respectively.

On January 3, 2002, the Company entered into a $150 million credit facility
agreement with ASI. This credit facility terminates on December 31, 2005 and
bears interest at the offered rate in the London interbank market (LIBOR) plus
0.35% per annum for the relevant interest period. Interest expense related to
these borrowings was $2.6 million, $534 thousand, $56 thousand and $2.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 2004, eight months ended December 31, 2003,
four months ended April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002. As of
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $126 million and $106 million was
outstanding under this credit facility. Accrued interest payable was $250
thousand and $153 thousand as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively.

On March 12, 2004, the Company entered into a $45 million loan with Prudential
Funding LLC. This loan matures on March 12, 2007 and has an interest rate of
2.78%. Interest paid related to these borrowings was $248 thousand for the year
ended December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, $45 million was outstanding
under this credit facility. Accrued interest payable was $73 thousand as of
December 31, 2004.

On May 1, 2004, the Company entered into a $500 million credit facility
agreement with Prudential Funding LLC. Effective December 1, 2004, the credit
facility agreement was increased to $750 million. Interest paid related to
these borrowings was $678 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2004. As of
December 31, 2004, $94 million was outstanding under this credit facility.
Accrued interest payable was $95 thousand as of December 31, 2004.

Surplus notes
The Company had issued surplus notes to ASI in exchange for cash. On May 1,
2003, the Company converted all outstanding surplus notes to additional paid-in
capital as part of the Acquisition. The conversion included the principal
amount of $110.0 million and related interest of $32.2 million. Surplus notes
outstanding as of December 31, 2002 was $110.0 million. Interest expense for
the eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003 and
year ended December 31, 2002 was $0, $3.0 million, and $10.9 million,
respectively. Payment of interest and repayment of principal for these notes
was subject to certain conditions and required approval by the Insurance
Commissioner of the State of Connecticut. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, $0 and
$29.2 million, respectively, of accrued interest on surplus notes was not
permitted for payment under these criteria.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

Future fees payable to ASI
In a series of transactions with ASI, the Company sold certain rights to
receive a portion of future fees and contract charges expected to be realized
on designated blocks of deferred annuity contracts.

The proceeds from the sales have been recorded as a liability and are being
amortized over the remaining surrender charge period of the designated
contracts using the interest method. The Company did not sell the right to
receive future fees and charges after the expiration of the surrender charge
period.

In connection with these sales, ASI, through special purpose trusts, issued
collateralized notes in private placements, which were secured by the rights to
receive future fees and charges purchased from the Company. As part of the
Acquisition, the notes issued by ASI were repaid.

Under the terms of the securitization purchase agreements, the rights sold
provide for ASI to receive a percentage (60%, 80% or 100% depending on the
underlying commission option) of future mortality and expense charges and
contingent deferred sales charges, after reinsurance, expected to be realized
over the remaining surrender charge period of the designated contracts
(generally 6 to 8 years). As a result of purchase accounting, the liability was
reduced to reflect the discounted estimated future payments to be made and has
been subsequently reduced by amortization according to a revised schedule. If
actual mortality and expense charges and contingent deferred sales charges are
less than those projected in the original amortization schedules, calculated on
a transaction by transaction basis, ASI has no recourse against the Company.

The Company has determined, using assumptions for lapses, mortality, free
withdrawals and a long-term fund growth rate of 8% on the Company's assets
under management, that the discounted estimated future payments to ASI would be
$222.6 million and $337.1 million as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

Payments, representing fees and charges in the aggregate amount, of $122.2
million, $94.3 million, $50.5 million and $186.8 million were made by the
Company to ASI during the year ended December 31,2004, eight months ended
December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31,
2002, respectively. Related expense (income) of $12.7 million, $11.1 million,
($11.6) million and $828 thousand has been included in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the year ended
December 31,2004, eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended
April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002, respectively.

The Commissioner of the State of Connecticut has approved the transfer of
future fees and charges; however, in the event that the Company becomes subject
to an order of liquidation or rehabilitation, the Commissioner has the ability
to restrict the payments due to ASI, into a restricted account, under the
Purchase Agreement subject to certain terms and conditions.

Inter-affiliate Asset Purchase
During the second quarter of 2004, the Company purchased bonds from an
affiliate company, The Prudential Insurance Company of America. The Company
purchased fixed maturity investments for $30.7 million, the acquisition-date
fair value, but reflected the cost of the investments at the historic amortized
cost to the affiliate. The difference between the historic amortized cost and
the fair value, net of taxes, was reflected as additional paid-in capital of
$(0.9) million. The fixed maturity investments are categorized in the Company's
consolidated balance sheet as fixed maturities available -for sale, and are
therefore carried at fair value, with the difference between amortized cost and
fair value reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income.

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

On July 1, 2003, the Company's employees transitioned from SICL's benefit plans
to Prudential Financial's. Prudential Financial sponsors a noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all of the Company's
employees. Benefits are generally based on career average earnings and credited
length of service. Prudential Financial's funding policy is to contribute
annually an amount necessary to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service
contribution guidelines.

Prudential plans also provide certain life insurance and health care benefits
for its retired employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents. The
health-care plan is contributory; the life insurance plan is noncontributory.

The costs relating to the aforementioned benefit plans amounted to $7.2 million
and $3.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and eight months
ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)

Prior to May 1, 2003, the Company had a 401(k) plan for which substantially all
employees are eligible. Under this plan, the Company provides a 50% match on
employees' contributions up to 6% of an employee's salary (for an aggregate
match of up to 3% of the employee's salary). Additionally, the Company may
contribute additional amounts based on profitability of the Company and certain
of its affiliates. Expenses (income) related to this program for the eight
months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003, and year
ended December 31, 2002 were ($70) thousand, $425 thousand and $719 thousand,
respectively. Company contributions to this plan on behalf of the participants
were $4 thousand, $896 thousand and $921 thousand for the eight months ended
December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003, and years ended
December 31, 2002, respectively.

Prior to July 1, 2003, the Company had a deferred compensation plan, which is
available to the field marketing staff and certain other employees. (Income)
expenses related to this program for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004,
eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003, and the
year ended December 31, 2002 were ($116) thousand, ($41) thousand, $279
thousand and $3.5 million, respectively. Company contributions to this plan on
behalf of the participants were $27 thousand, $126 thousand and $5.3 million
for the eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003,
and year ended December 31, 2002, respectively.

The Company and certain affiliates cooperatively have a long-term incentive
program under which units are awarded to executive officers and other
personnel. This plan terminated in March 2004. Prior to May 1, 2003, the
Company and certain affiliates also had a profit sharing program, which
benefits all employees below the officer level. These programs consist of
multiple plans with new plans instituted each year. Generally, participants
must remain employed by the Company or its affiliates at the time such units
are payable in order to receive any payments under the programs. The accrued
liability representing the value of these units was $74 thousand, $1.2 million
and $7.1 million as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. (Income)
expenses related to these programs for the twelve months ended December 31,
2004, eight months ended December 31, 2003, four months ended April 30, 2003
and year ended December 31, 2002 were $3 thousand, ($468) thousand, $249
thousand and $1.5 million, respectively. Payments under these programs were
$1.1 million, $1.0 million, $4.7 million, and $8.0 million for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2004, eight months ended December 31, 2003, four
months ended April 30, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002, respectively.

16. CONTRACT WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS

Approximately 99% of the Company's separate account liabilities are subject to
discretionary withdrawal by contract owners at market value or with market
value adjustment. Separate account assets, which are carried at fair value, are
adequate to pay such withdrawals, which are generally subject to surrender
charges ranging from 10% to 1% for contracts held less than 10 years.

17.SEGMENT REPORTING

Assets under management and sales for products other than variable annuities
have not been significant enough to warrant full segment disclosures as
required by SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," and the Company does not anticipate that they will be so
in the future due to changes in the Company's strategy to focus on its core
variable annuity business.
