Forward-Looking Statement Disclosure
Certain of the statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including but not limited to those in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Words such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "includes," "plans,"
"assumes," "estimates," "projects," "intends", or variations of such words are generally part of forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are made based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their
potential effects upon American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation ("the Company").  There can be no assurance that future
developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by management.  These forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of
future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that could cause actual results to
differ, possibly materially, from expectations or estimates reflected in such forward-looking statements, including without
limitation: general economic, market and political conditions, including the performance of financial markets, interest rate
fluctuations and the continuing negative impact of the current economic environment; various domestic or international military or
terrorist activities or conflicts; volatility in the securities markets; reestimates of our reserves for future policy benefits and
claims; changes in our assumptions related to deferred policy acquisition costs; our exposure to contingent liabilities; catastrophe
losses; investment losses and defaults; changes in our claims-paying or credit ratings; competition in our product lines and for
personnel; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and foreign securities markets;  the impact of changing regulation or
accounting practices; adverse litigation results; and changes in tax law.  The Company does not intend, and is under no obligation,
to update any particular forward-looking statement included in this document.

     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 will most notably result in decreased amortization and
      depreciation reported in future periods. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of the Company, when indirectly
 wholly-owned by Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. and the Company, currently indirectly majority-owned by Prudential Financial, Inc. are
                                               not comparable in all material respects.

     The purchase method of accounting was used to record the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Prudential

1.       ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION

         American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation (the "Company"), with its principal offices in Shelton, Connecticut, is an indirect
         majority-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. ("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, a New
         Jersey corporation, whereby Prudential Financial would acquire the Company and certain of its affiliates (the "Acquisition").
         On May 1, 2003, the first step of the Acquisition was consummated.  This step included Prudential Financial acquiring 90% of
         Skandia U.S. Inc.'s ("SUSI"), an indirect parent of the Company, outstanding common stock.  Under an agreement entered into on
         May 1, 2003 ("the date of acquisition"), Prudential Financial has the right to acquire the remaining 10% of SUSI's outstanding
         common stock beginning July 30, 2003, which right extends to September 13, 2003.  Additionally, under the same agreement, SICL
         has the right to require Prudential Financial to acquire the remaining 10% of SUSI's common stock beginning September 8, 2003,
         which right extends to September 13, 2003 (see Notes 9 and 10 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 ("ASM").  The Company currently issues variable deferred and immediate
         annuities for individuals and groups in the United States of America and its territories.

2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions
         to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include
         all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
         all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
         Operating results for the two month period ended June 30, 2003, the four month period ended April 30, 2003 and the one month
         period ended April 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
         31, 2003.  In addition, the purchase method of accounting was used to record the fair values of assets acquired and
         liabilities assumed by Prudential Financial and "pushed-down" to the Company.  This accounting will most notably result in
         decreased amortization and depreciation reported in future periods.  Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements of
         the Company, when indirectly wholly-owned by Skandia Insurance Company Ltd. and the Company, currently indirectly
         majority-owned by Prudential Financial are not comparable in all material respects.

         consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

3.       NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In July, 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") of the American Institute Of Certified Public
         Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 03-01, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for
         Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts."  AcSEC has developed the SOP to address the
         evolution of product designs since the issuance of SFAS No. 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises," and
         SFAS No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains
         and Losses from the Sale of Investments" and 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 long-duration contract liabilities.

         The most significant accounting implications of the SOP are as follows: (1) reporting and measuring assets and liabilities
         of separate account products as general account assets and liabilities when specified criteria are not met; (2) reporting
         and measuring seed money in separate accounts as general account assets based on the insurer's proportionate beneficial
         interest in the separate account's underlying assets; (3) capitalizing sales inducements that meet specified criteria and
         amortizing such amounts over the life of the contracts using the same methodology as used for amortizing deferred
         acquisition costs, but immediately expensing those sales inducements accrued or credited if such criteria are not met; (4)
         recognizing contract holder liabilities for: (a) modified guaranteed (market value adjusted) annuities at accreted balances
         that do not include the then current market value surrender adjustment, (b) two-tier annuities at the lower
         (non-annuitization) tier account value, (c) persistency bonuses at amounts that are not reduced for expected forfeitures,
         (d) group pension participating and similar general account "pass through" contracts that are not accounted for under SFAS
         No. 133 at amounts based on the fair value of the assets or index that determines the investment return pass through; (5)
         establishing an additional liability for guaranteed minimum death and similar mortality and morbidity benefits only for
         contracts determined to have mortality and morbidity risk that is other than nominal and when the risk charges made for a
         period are not proportionate to the risk borne during that period; and (6) for contracts containing an annuitization
         benefits contract feature, if such contract feature is not accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 establishing
         an additional liability for the contract feature if the present value of expected annuitization payments at the expected
         annuitization date exceeds the expected account balance at the expected annuitization date.

         The provisions of the SOP are effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003, and, as
         such, the Company will adopt the SOP effective January 1, 2004. The effect of initially adopting this SOP will be reported
         as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle with restatement of prior financial statements

3.       NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

         prohibited.  The Company is currently completing the assessment of the impact of the proposed SOP on its operations;
         however, we do not believe that the implementation of the SOP will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
         financial position.

4.       TRADING SECURITIES

         As of the date of 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 Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income, as a
         component of "Other Income".

5.       SHORT-TERM BORROWING AND SURPLUS NOTES

         As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had a $10,000 short-term loan payable to its parent company, American
         Skandia, Inc. ("ASI") as part of a revolving loan agreement.  This loan has an interest rate of 1.71% and matures on July
         30, 2003.  Interest expense related to this borrowing amounted to $29 for the two months ended June 30, 2003 and $14 and $60
         for the one and four months ended April 30, 2003, respectively.

         On January 3, 2002, the Company entered into a $150,000 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 percent per
         annum for the relevant interest period.  Interest expense related to these borrowings was $97 for the two months ended June
         30, 2003 and $38 and $56 for the one and four months ended April 30, 2003, respectively.  As of June 30, 2003, $35,000 was
         outstanding under this credit facility.

         On May 1, 2003, the Company converted surplus notes to paid in capital as part of the Acquisition.  The conversion included
         the principal amount of $110,000 and related interest of $32,225.  Interest expense for the four and one month ended April
         30, 2003 was $2,995 and $749, respectively.

6.       FOREIGN ENTITY

         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 $5,023 as of December 31, 2002 and
         had generated losses of $2,207 and $374 for the four and one months ended April 30, 2003, respectively, and $1,410 and $717
         for the six and three months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.  As part of the Acquisition, the Company sold its ownership
         interest in Skandia Vida to SICL on April 30, 2003 for $4,625.  This transaction resulted in a loss of $422.

7.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company recorded income tax expense (benefit) of $11,786 for the two months ended June 30, 2003, ($9,122) and ($352) for
         the four and one months ended April 30, 2003, respectively, and ($10,043) and ($11,746) for the six and three months ended
         June 30, 2002, respectively.  The effective income tax rate for all periods presented varied from the corporate rate of 35%
         due primarily to the deduction for dividends received.

8.       DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS

         The costs of acquiring new business, which vary with and are primarily related to new business generated, are being
         deferred, net of reinsurance.  These costs include commissions, costs of contract issuance, and certain selling expenses
         that vary with production.  The deferred policy acquisition cost asset was assigned a fair value of zero, net of tax, as
         part of purchase accounting.  Amortization expense (benefit) related to deferred acquisition costs was $268 for the two
         months ended June 30, 2003, ($9,807) and $46,791 for the one and four months ended April 30, 2003, respectively, and
         $133,875 and $93,562 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

9.       PURCHASE PRICE

         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 through "push-down" accounting.  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 allocation of the purchase price attributed to the Company at May 1, 2003, was as follows:

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

        Other assets at fair value                                     352,235
        Separate account assets                                     22,311,085

                                                                    ----------
           Total purchase price                                 $      487,545
                                                                    ----------
                                                                    ----------
10.      VALUATION OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED

         VOBA represents the present value of future profits embedded in the acquired contracts. The VOBA is determined by estimating
         the net present value of future cash flows expected to result from contracts in force at the date of the transaction. Future
         positive cash flows include fees and other charges assessed to the contracts for as long as they remain in force as well as
         fees collected upon surrender, while future negative cash flows include costs to administer the contracts, and benefit
         payments including payments under the guaranteed minimum death benefit ("GMDB") provisions of the contracts. VOBA will be
         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 upon historical and
         estimated future experience, which is updated periodically.

10.      VALUATION OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED (continued)

         The GMDB 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 based on the net deposits paid into the contract, the net deposits
         accumulated at a specified rate, the highest historical account value on a contract anniversary, or the greatest of these
         values, depending on features offered in various contracts and elected by the contract holders. These contracts generally
         require payment of additional charges for guarantees other than those based on net deposits paid into the contract. To the
         extent that the guaranteed minimum death benefit is higher than the current account value at the time of death, the Company
         may incur a loss on the contract.   This results in increased annuity policy benefits in periods of declining financial
         markets, and also in periods of stable financial markets following a decline. Current accounting literature does not
         prescribe recognition of a liability for the expected future net costs associated with these guarantees, and accordingly,
         the historical consolidated statements of financial position and the unaudited interim statements of financial position of
         the Company do not reflect a liability corresponding to these projected future obligations for death benefits in excess of
         annuity account values. However, AICPA Statement of Position 03-01, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for
         Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts" (the "SOP"), effective for fiscal years beginning
         after December 15, 2003, requires the recording of a liability associated with these guarantees under certain
         circumstances.  For contracts classified as insurance contracts that have amounts assessed against contractholders each
         period for the insurance benefit features that are assessed in a manner that is expected to result in profits in earlier
         years and subsequent losses from that insurance benefit function, a liability is required to be established in addition to
         the account balance to recognize the portion of such assessments that compensates the insurance enterprise for benefits to
         be provided in future periods.  In valuing the contracts acquired, the Company considered the negative cash flows of future
         benefit obligations associated with the GMDB on those contracts.

         Upon adoption of the SOP on January 1, 2004, the Company will establish an explicit liability for GMDB associated with the
         acquired contracts.   This will result in an increase in VOBA and higher future amortization.  The higher amortization will
         be partially offset by lower benefit expenses, as a portion of the future guaranteed minimum death benefit costs would be
         charged against the explicit GMDB liability.

         Details of VOBA and related interest and amortization for the two months ended June 30, 2003 is as follows:

11.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         In accordance with a revenue sharing agreement with American Skandia Investment Services, Incorporated, the Company receives
         fee income from policyholder account balances invested in the American Skandia Trust.  These revenues are recorded as "Asset
         management fees" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

12.      CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION

         The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of their businesses, including class actions.
         Pending legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of the business 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.

         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 is currently 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 alleges that the Company and
         certain of its affiliates violated federal securities laws in marketing variable annuities and seeks injunctive relief and
         compensatory damages in unspecified amounts.  In July 2003, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint
         with prejudice.  The time to appeal has not expired.

         The Company's litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and given the 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 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, including the
         Donovan complaint, may fall within the purview of SICL's indemnification obligations to Prudential Financial and its
         subsidiaries, including the Company, pursuant to the agreement governing the Acquisition.  Those obligations of SICL provide
         for indemnification of certain judgments, settlements and expenses associated with lawsuits of the Company, which have costs
         and expenses in excess of $25 individually.  Further, SICL's indemnification obligations arise only in the event that a
         total of $10,000 is spent by Prudential Financial in connection with the resolution of lawsuits and other various matters
         involving the Company and any of its parent companies and affiliates, subject to the Acquisition.  Amounts applied toward
         this $10,000 retention are subject to reduction for insurance proceeds, certain accruals and any tax benefit applicable to
         such amounts.  Similarly, any tax cost incurred would be added to any such amounts to be applied toward this retention.

13.      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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the June 30,
2003 unaudited financial statements and the notes included herein, as well as Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation's (the "Company") 2002 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

For purposes of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, no explicit distinction is
made between the pre-purchase accounting periods and the post purchase accounting periods.

General

The Company, with its principal offices in Shelton, Connecticut, is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc.
("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, a New Jersey corporation, whereby Prudential Financial would acquire the Company and
certain of its affiliates (the "Acquisition").  On May 1, 2003, the first step of the Acquisition was consummated.  This step included
Prudential Financial acquiring 90% of Skandia U.S., Inc.'s ("SUSI"), an indirect parent of the Company, outstanding common stock.
Under an agreement entered into on May 1, 2003 ("the date of acquisition"), Prudential Financial has the right to acquire the remaining
10% of SUSI's outstanding common stock beginning July 30, 2003, which right extends to September 13, 2003.  Additionally, under the
same agreement, SICL has the right to require Prudential Financial to acquire the remaining 10% of SUSI's common stock beginning
September 8, 2003, which right extends to September 13, 2003 (see Notes 9 and 10 in the June 30, 2003 financial statements included
herein for additional information on the Acquisition).

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.  As part of the Acquisition, the Company sold its ownership interest in Skandia Vida to SICL on April
30, 2003 for $4,625.  This transaction resulted in a loss of $422.

The Company was established in 1988 and is a significant provider of variable annuity contracts for the individual market in the
United States.  Affiliates of the Company sponsor and distribute shares of registered investment companies ("mutual funds").  Because
these mutual funds are not sponsored or distributed by the Company, such products are not discussed herein and are not reflected in
the Company's financial statements.

The Company's products are sold primarily to individuals to provide for long-term savings and retirement and to address the economic
impact of premature death, estate planning concerns and supplemental retirement needs.  The investment performance of the mutual
funds supporting the variable annuity contracts, which is principally correlated to equity market performance, can significantly
impact the market for the Company's products.


Products and Distribution

 The Company offers a wide array of annuities, including: a) certain deferred and immediate annuities that are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including variable annuities with fixed interest rate investment options that include a market
value adjustment feature; b) certain other fixed deferred annuities that are not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission; and c) fixed, adjustable and variable immediate annuities.

The Company sells its wide array of annuity products through multiple distribution channels including, (a) independent financial
planners; (b) broker-dealers that generally are members of the New York Stock Exchange, including "wirehouse" and regional
broker-dealer firms; and (c) broker-dealers affiliated with banks or that specialize in marketing to customers of banks.  Although
the Company is active in each of those distribution channels, the majority of the Company's sales have come from independent
financial planners.  The Company has selling agreements with approximately twelve hundred broker/dealer firms and financial
institutions.

Although many of the Company's competitors have acquired or are looking to acquire their distribution channels as a means of securing
sales, the Company has not done so.  Instead, the Company believes its success is dependent on its ability to enhance its
relationships with both the selling firms and their registered representatives.  In cooperation with its affiliated broker-dealer,
American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated, the Company uses marketing teams to provide support to its primary distribution channels.
In addition, the Company also offers a number of private label and proprietary products distributed by select large distributors.

Results of Operations

Annuity and life insurance sales for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $1,502,733 and $798,838,
respectively, compared to sales of $1,763,271 and $951,385, respectively, for the same periods in 2002.  The Company believes that
its sales, generally consistent with the variable annuity industry, have been negatively impacted by the equity markets continued
poor performance and volatility during 2002 and into early 2003.  In addition, ratings downgrades and uncertainty around the
Company's ownership further deteriorated sales levels, principally beginning in the third quarter of 2002.  Sales have improved in the
second quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter.  The Company believes that this is primarily due to the close of the
transaction with Prudential Financial, as well as improvement in the equity markets and the overall economic outlook.

Average assets under management were $22,157,265 in the first six months of 2003 and $25,148,491 for the equivalent 2002 period,
representing a decrease of 12%.  This decrease can be attributed to the poor fund performance in 2002 which deteriorated asset
levels, as well as higher than expected lapses driven by factors similar to those impacting sales.  As a result of lower average
assets under management, asset-based fees, including mortality and expense ("M&E") charges, which are reported in "Policy Charges and
Fee Income", and asset management fees decreased in 2003 compared to 2002.  This decrease in asset-based fees was partially offset by
higher surrender charge revenue due to the increased lapses.

Net investment income increased for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 principally
driven by increased net investment results of $8,812 and $12,933 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, on
the Company's separate account supporting its fixed, market value adjusted investment option.

Net realized investment gains (losses) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003 decreased compared to the same periods in
2002.  This decline resulted primarily from increased hedge related losses from the Company's derivative investments of $29,430 and
$29,949 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.  Hedge related losses were partially offset by increased
realized gains of $5,560 and $2,628 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, on sales of fixed maturities.

Policyholders' benefits increased for the six and three months of 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002 principally driven by a
$12,325 and $4,043 increase of guaranteed minimum death benefit claims for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, due to the decline in fund performance over the comparable prior year periods.  Guaranteed minimum death benefit
payments were $32,702 and $14,312 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $20,377 and $10,269,
respectively, for the same periods in 2002.  As of June 30, 2003, 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 $4.8 billion.  The death benefit coverage in force
represents the excess of the guaranteed benefit amount over the account value.  The guaranteed minimum death benefit 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
June 30, 2003, this minimum guarantee is applicable only for the first ten contract years or until a specified attained age.  To the
extent that the guaranteed minimum death benefit is higher than the current account value at the time of death, we incur 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.  Current accounting literature does not prescribe advance recognition of the expected future net costs
associated with these guarantees, and accordingly, we currently do not record a liability corresponding to these projected future
obligations for death benefits in excess of annuity account values.  However, we consider the expected net costs associated with
these guarantees in our calculations of expected gross profits on variable annuity business, on which our periodic evaluations of
unamortized deferred policy acquisition costs and valuation of business acquired ("VOBA") are based.  AICPA Statement of Position
03-01, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate
Accounts." (the "SOP"), effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003, will require the
recording of a liability for the expected net costs associated with these guarantees under certain circumstances.  For contracts
classified as insurance contracts that have amounts assessed against contractholders each period for the insurance benefit features
that are assessed in a manner that is expected to result in profits in earlier years and subsequent losses from that insurance
benefit function, a liability is required to be established in addition to the account balance to recognize the portion of such
assessments that compensates the insurance enterprise for benefits to be provided in future periods.  In valuing the contracts
acquired, the Company considered the negative cash flows of future benefit obligations associated with the GMDB on those contracts.

Upon adoption of the SOP on January 1, 2004, the Company will establish an explicit liability for GMDB associated with the acquired
contracts.   This will result in an increase in VOBA and higher future amortization.  The higher amortization will be partially
offset by lower benefit expenses, as a portion of the future guaranteed minimum death benefit costs would be charged against the
explicit GMDB liability.

Interest credited to policyholders' account balances decreased for the first six and three months of 2003 compared to the same
periods in 2002 primarily due to decreased amortization of deferred purchase credits consistent with decreased amortization of
deferred acquisition costs.  See discussion on amortization of deferred acquisition costs below.









 Underwriting, acquisition and other insurance expenses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

 Commissions for the first six and three months of 2003 declined in comparison to the same period in 2002 primarily due to a decline
in asset based commissions consistent with the decline in assets under management and a decline in initial commissions consistent
with the decline in sales over the same periods.  General operating expenses decreased during the first six and three months of 2003
as compared to the same periods in the prior year principally as a result of a $10,275 and $1,722 decrease in interest expense for
the six and three months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, related to the future fees payable to ASI liability.  Interest expense on
these obligations is driven by the cash flows from the underlying annuity contracts acting as collateral.  As a result of the
depressed asset values of those annuity contracts, driven by the weak equity markets, the cash flows, and therefore the interest
expense, has decreased from prior year levels.  The decline in acquisition costs deferred was consistent with the decline in initial
commissions described above.  Amortization of deferred acquisition costs decreased for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003,
as compared to the same periods in 2002.  As of the date of acquisition, the Company's deferred acquisition cost asset was assigned a
fair value of zero, consistent with purchase accounting guidance.  Amortization of the Company's deferred acquisition costs
subsequent to the acquisition was $268 for the two months ended June 30, 2003.  In addition, at the date of the acquisition, the
Company established an asset for the value of business acquired (see Note 10 in the June 30, 2003 financial statements included
herein for further discussion).  Amortization of this asset amounted to $11,300 for the two months ended June 30, 2003.

The Company's income tax expense (benefit) varies with increases or decreases in income (loss) from operations.  The effective income
tax rate varied from the corporate rate of 35% due primarily to the deduction for dividends received.

 Total assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2003 increased $920,254 and $1,086,950, respectively, from December 31, 2002.  This change
resulted primarily from the improving equity markets over the first six months of 2003, in particular the months of May and June, 2003
partially offset by purchase accounting adjustments.


Significant Accounting Policies

In accordance with purchase accounting guidelines, the Company "fair valued" its assets and liabilities as of the date of
acquisition.  The most significant adjustments related to the value of the unamortized deferred acquisition cost asset being assigned
a value of zero, the future fees payable to ASI liability was decreased by $256,634 and an asset for the value of business acquired
was established for $440,130 (see Notes 9 and 10 in the June 30, 2003 financial statements included herein for further discussion).

As of the date of 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 Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income, as a component of Other Income.

For additional information on the Company's significant accounting policies, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 The Company's liquidity requirements have generally been met by cash from insurance operations, investment activities, borrowings
from ASI, reinsurance, capital contributions and securitization transactions with ASI.

The Company's cash from insurance operations is primarily comprised of fees generated off of assets under management, less commission
expense on sales, sales and marketing expenses and other operating expenses.  Fund performance driven by the equity markets directly
impacts assets under management and therefore, the fees the Company can generate off of those assets.  During the first half of 2003,
assets under management declined consistent with the equity market declines over the same period in the prior year resulting in
reductions in fee revenues.

 In order to fund the cash strain generated from acquisition costs on historical and on-going sales, the Company has relied on cash
generated from its direct insurance operations as well as reinsurance and securitization transactions.  The Company has used 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 the future fees generated from that book of business.  These reinsurance agreements
also mitigate the recoverability risk associated with the payment of up-front commissions and other acquisition costs.  Similarly,
the Company has entered into securitization transactions whereby the Company issues to ASI, in exchange for cash, the right to
receive future fees generated off of a specific book of business.

 As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had short-term borrowings of $45,000 and $10,000, respectively, and had
 long-term surplus notes liabilities of $110,000 at December 31, 2002.  On May 1, 2003, the Company converted surplus notes to paid in
 capital as part of purchase accounting adjustments.  The conversion included the principal amount of $110,000 and related interest of
 $32,225.

 As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, shareholder's equity totaled $516,365 and $683,061, respectively.  The Company received
capital contributions of $2,183 from ASI during 2003.  Of this, $1,284 was received to support its investment in Skandia Vida, which was
sold to SICL on April 30, 2003 (see Note 4 in the June 30, 2003 financial statements for further discussion).  Purchase accounting
adjustments, including assigning the Company's deferred acquisition cost asset a fair value of zero, net of tax, partially offset by the
establishment of a VOBA asset and the fair value adjustment to the liability for future fees payable to ASI, related to the sale of the
Company to Prudential Financial contributed to the change in shareholder's equity in 2003.

 The National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") requires insurance companies to report information regarding minimum Risk
Based Capital ("RBC") requirements.  These requirements are intended to allow insurance regulators to identify companies that may need
regulatory attention.  The RBC model law requires that insurance companies apply various factors to asset, premium and reserve items, all
of which have inherent risks.  The formula includes components for asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk.  The
Company has complied with the NAIC's RBC reporting requirements and has total adjusted capital well above required capital.

The Company has sold variable annuity contracts containing guaranteed minimum death benefits (GMDBs) that reduce on a
dollar-for-dollar basis when a partial withdrawal occurs. Currently there is ambiguity as to the correct interpretation and
application of Actuarial Guideline XXXIII, "Determining CARVM Reserves for Annuity Contracts with Elective Benefits" (AG XXXIII) and
Actuarial Guideline XXXIV, "Variable Annuity Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit Reserves" (AG XXXIV) in determining statutory reserves
for these products.  In calculating the statutory GMDB reserves for these variable annuity contracts under AG XXXIV, the Company does
not consider the potential benefit stream where all policyholders immediately elect to maximize partial withdrawals under these
policies.  This is consistent with the method applied in the prior year.

At the time of issuance of these financial statements, neither the NAIC nor the Connecticut Insurance Department, which is ultimately
responsible for determining the appropriate reserving methods for the statutory financial statements of Connecticut-domiciled
insurance companies, has provided specific guidance as to the correct interpretation of AG XXXIII and AG XXXIV with respect to
statutory GMDB reserves required for variable annuity contracts containing dollar-for-dollar withdrawal provisions. However, the
Connecticut Insurance Department conducted a financial examination on the Company during 2001 and the statutory reserves calculated
under the current method were deemed to meet minimum standards for Companies domiciled in the State of Connecticut.  As a result, the
Connecticut Insurance Department has allowed the Company to continue to follow its current method of reserving on a statutory basis
for these variable annuity contracts. until such time that guidance is issued that clarifies the ambiguity between AG XXXIII and AG
XXXIV.

Although ambiguity exists, alternative interpretations of AG XXXIII and AG XXXIV, under which contractholders are assumed to
immediately maximize partial withdrawals, could result in an increase in statutory reserves that would be significantly in excess of
statutory surplus, resulting in a statutory surplus deficit.

(an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc., beginning May 1, 2003)


ITEM 3.       QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of change in the value of financial instruments as a result of absolute or relative changes in interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates or equity or commodity prices. To varying degrees, the investment activities supporting all of
our products and services generate market risks.  There have been no material changes to the Company's market risk exposures from
December 31, 2002.  The Company has provided a discussion of its market risks in Item 7A of Part II of the December 31, 2002 Form
10-K.

ITEM 4.       CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In order to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of June 30, 2003.  Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2003, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to us (and our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.  There
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2003, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II.      OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of their businesses, including class actions. Pending
legal and regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of the business 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.

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 is currently 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 alleges that the Company and certain of its
affiliates violated federal securities laws in marketing variable annuities and seeks injunctive relief and compensatory damages in
unspecified amounts.  In July 2003, the court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice.  The time to
appeal has not expired.

The Company's litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and given the 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 should not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

It should be noted that the judgments, settlements and expenses associated with many of these lawsuits, including the Donovan
complaint, may fall within the purview of SICL's indemnification obligations to Prudential Financial and its subsidiaries, including
the Company, pursuant to the agreement governing the Acquisition.  Those obligations of SICL provide for indemnification of certain
judgments, settlements and expenses associated with lawsuits of the Company, which have costs and expenses in excess of $25
individually.  Further, SICL's indemnification obligations arise only in the event that a total of $10,000 is spent by Prudential
Financial in connection with the resolution of lawsuits and other various matters involving the Company and any of its parent
companies and affiliates, subject to the Acquisition.  Amounts applied toward this $10,000 retention are subject to reduction for
insurance proceeds, certain accruals and any tax benefit applicable to such amounts.  Similarly, any tax cost incurred would be added
to any such amounts to be applied toward this retention.

(a)      Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
                    supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated

                    that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control
                    over financial reporting; and

5.       The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control

                    financial information; and

(b)      Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the
                    registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
