MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PICA

AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017

(See Annex A for definitions of certain terms used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis)

Summary of Principal Differences between SAP and GAAP

The financial information for The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) in this

Management’s Discussion and Analysis has been prepared and presented in accordance with SAP. Certain

differences exist between SAP and GAAP which might be material to the financial information herein. The

matters described below summarize certain differences between SAP and GAAP that may be material. The

Company is responsible for preparing the summary below. The Company has not prepared a complete

reconciliation of its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures between SAP and

GAAP and has not quantified such differences. Accordingly, no assurance is provided that the following

summary of differences between SAP and GAAP is complete. In making an investment decision, investors

must rely upon their own examination of the Company, the terms of the offering and the financial information.

Potential investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding of the differences

between SAP and GAAP, and how those differences might affect the financial information herein.

The significant differences between SAP and GAAP are noted below:

The SAP financial statements of PICA do not consolidate its subsidiaries. The equity value of its

subsidiaries are recorded as preferred stock, common stock and other invested assets.

Under SAP, policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, and other costs incurred in connection

with acquiring new business, are expensed when incurred; under GAAP, such costs are deferred

and amortized either over the expected lives of the contracts or based on the level and timing of

either gross margins, gross profits or gross premiums, depending on the type of contract.

Under SAP, CRVM is used for the majority of individual insurance reserves; under GAAP, individual

insurance policyholder liabilities for traditional forms of insurance are generally established using

the net level premium method. For interest-sensitive policies, a liability for policyholder account

balances is established under GAAP based on the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of

the policyholder. Policy valuation assumptions used in the estimation of policyholder liabilities

are generally prescribed under SAP; under GAAP, policy valuation assumptions are based upon

best estimates as of the date the policy is issued, with provisions for the risk of adverse deviation.

Under SAP, CARVM is used for the majority of individual deferred annuity reserves; under GAAP,

individual deferred annuity policyholder liabilities are generally equal to the contract value that

has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder, in addition to liabilities for certain guarantees under

variable annuity contracts.

Under SAP, reinsurance reserve credits taken by ceding entities as a result of reinsurance contracts

are netted against the ceding entity’s policy and claim reserves and unpaid claims; under GAAP,

reinsurance recoverables are reported as assets.

Under SAP, IMR is established to capture realized investment gains and losses, net of tax, on the sale

of bonds and interest-related other-than-temporary impairment of bonds resulting from changes

in the general levels of interest rates, and is amortized into income over the remaining years to

2

expected maturity of the assets sold or impaired; under GAAP, no such reserve is required.

Under SAP, AVR based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC is established as a liability to offset

potential non-interest related investment losses, and changes in the AVR are charged or credited

directly to surplus; under GAAP, no such reserve is required.

Under SAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks are generally carried at amortized cost; under

GAAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks, other than those classified as held to maturity,

are carried at fair value.

Under SAP, certain assets designated as non-admitted are excluded from assets by a direct charge to

surplus; under GAAP, such assets are carried on the balance sheet with appropriate valuation

allowances.

Under SAP, surplus notes are recorded as a component of surplus; under GAAP, surplus notes are

recorded as debt.

Under SAP, an extraordinary distribution approved by PICA’s regulator may be recorded as a return

of capital; under GAAP, the distribution is recorded as a dividend when PICA has undistributed

retained earnings.

Under SAP, goodwill is subject to admissibility limits and is amortized over a period not to exceed

ten years; under GAAP, goodwill is subject to impairment testing and not amortized.

Under SAP, income tax expense is based upon taxes currently payable. Changes in deferred taxes are

generally reported in surplus and subject to admissibility limits; under GAAP, changes in deferred

taxes are generally recorded in income tax expense.

Under SAP, deposits to universal life contracts and immediate annuity contracts without life

contingencies are credited to revenue; under GAAP, such deposits are reported as increases to the

policyholder account balances.

Under SAP, certain contracts, in particular deferred annuities with mortality risk, are considered “life

contracts” and, accordingly, premiums associated with these contracts are reported as revenues.

Under GAAP, the Company’s deferred annuities are classified as either “insurance contracts” or

“investment contracts” and, accordingly, those annuities classified as investment contracts are not

reported as revenues. Amounts received for investment contracts are not reported as policy

liabilities and insurance reserves.

Under SAP, interest-related other-than-temporary impairments for bonds are determined based

primarily upon PICA’s intent to sell or inability to assert its intent and ability to hold the security

until recovery; under GAAP, other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities are based

primarily upon whether PICA intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required

to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

Under SAP, there is no concept of value of business acquired ("VOBA"); under GAAP, VOBA is

recorded as an asset.

Under SAP, an embedded derivative instrument shall not be separated from the host contract and

accounted for separately as a derivative instrument; under GAAP, the accounting and bifurcation

for embedded derivatives follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 - "Derivatives

and Hedging", with the change in fair value during each reporting period recorded within

“Realized investment gains (losses)."

Overview

PICA is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. The principal products and services of

PICA include individual life insurance and annuities, group insurance and pension and retirement products and

related services and administration. The results in the analysis below include the results of the Closed Block

division, which comprises the assets and related liabilities of the Closed Block. The principal executive offices

of PICA are located in Newark, New Jersey.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, PICA's admitted assets were $260 billion (including $136

billion held in separate accounts). Excluding separate accounts, assets were primarily comprised of a mix of

bonds, mortgage loans, contract loans, cash and short-term investments, other invested assets, and equity

investments designed to match the cash flow requirements of insurance liabilities.

Results of Operations

Net Income

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $228

million compared to $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase of $204 million

between periods includes a $416 million increase in operating income before income taxes, from $76 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $492 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which was

primarily driven by the following:

• A $271 million increase in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by lower reserves in

the annuities business due to more favorable market conditions in the current period compared to the same

period of 2016. Also, contributing to the increase were higher asset management fees and surrender

charges assumed from an affiliate, PLNJ, partially offset by higher assumed commissions. The

reinsurance agreement with PLNJ became effective in the second quarter of 2016;

• A $146 million increase in the retirement business primarily driven by higher spread income mainly due

to growth in the pension risk transfer business. Also contributing to the increase was higher income from

alternative investments;

• A $23 million increase in the international insurance business primarily driven by the renewal business

assumed from PGFL partially offset by an increase in commissions as a result of growth of U.S. dollar

denominated business assumed from PLICJ;

• A $14 million increase in the group insurance business primarily driven by higher spread income mainly

due to an increase in invested assets as a result of business growth; and

Partially offset by:

• A $38 million decrease in the corporate and other business primarily driven by higher compensation

related expenses.

The above increase in net income was partially offset by a $136 million increase in net realized capital losses,

from $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $163 million for the three months ended March

31, 2017. The components of net realized capital losses are discussed below under “Capital (Losses)/Gains.”

Net income also included a $76 million increase in the income tax provision from $25 million for the three

months ended March 31, 2016 to $101 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which is further

discussed below under “Income Tax Provision.”

4

Change in Statutory Capital and Surplus

For the three months ended March 31, 2017. Statutory capital (surplus plus AVR) increased $397 million,

from $13,445 million at December 31, 2016 to $13,842 million at March 31, 2017. The increase in capital for the

period ended March 31, 2017 was primarily driven by:

• Net income of $228 million, as discussed above under “Net Income”; and

• A $159 million change in unrealized capital gains (excluding deferred tax) primarily due to gains from

affiliated common stocks. The change in net unrealized capital gains are further discussed below under

“Capital (Losses)/Gains.”

Revenues

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Total revenues increased $129 million from $6,327 million for the

three months ended March 31, 2016 to $6,456 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase

in total revenues was primarily driven by a $179 million increase in premiums between periods from $4,565

million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $4,744 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The increase in premiums was primarily driven by:

• A $187 million increase in the international insurance business primarily driven by the reinsurance of

PGFL and PLICJ’s U.S. dollar denominated business as a result of business growth;

• A $132 million increase in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by assumed premiums

from PLNJ in the annuities business;

Partially offset by:

• A $129 million decrease in the retirement business primarily driven by lower sales of structured settlement

contracts; and

• A $16 million decrease in the group insurance business primarily driven by lower premiums on existing

experience rated contracts in the group life business. Partially offsetting this activity were higher sales

in the life and long-term disability businesses.

Additionally, contributing to the increase in total revenue was an increase in net investment income, which

includes IMR amortization, of $86 million from $1,237 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to

$1,323 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase was primarily driven by higher income

from alternative investments in the retirement business. Additionally, net investment income increased in the

international insurance business primarily due to an increase in invested assets as a result of continued business

growth.

Partially offsetting these increases in total revenue was a decrease in other income of $136 million, from $525

million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $389 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The decrease in other income was primarily driven by lower gains from separate accounts in the retirement

business.

5

Benefits

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Total benefits, surrenders and fund withdrawals increased $689

million from $5,908 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $6,597 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2017. The increase in total benefits, surrenders and fund withdrawals was primarily driven by:

• A $593 million increase in the retirement business mainly driven by an increase in separate account

withdrawals and benefits related to the pension risk transfer business;

• A $209 million increase in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by higher assumed

surrenders and benefits in the annuities business as a result of the reinsurance transaction with PLNJ.

Also, contributing to the increase were higher benefits in the life business driven by unfavorable mortality

experience;

• A $27 million increase in the international insurance business primarily due to higher assumed surrenders

and benefits from PGFL and PLICJ; and

Partially offset by:

• A $145 million decrease in the group insurance business primarily driven by a partial surrender of a large

TOLI contract during the first quarter of 2016.

Net Increase in Reserves

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Reserves increased $528 million for the three months ended March

31, 2017, compared to an increase of $1,186 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease

of $658 million in the change in reserves between years was primarily due to the following:

• A $480 million decrease in the retirement business primarily driven by favorable reserves experience

related to pension risk transfer business;

• A $274 million decrease in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by lower reserves in

the annuities business due to more favorable market conditions in the current period compared to the same

period of 2016;

Partially offset by:

• A $128 million increase in the international insurance business mainly due to an increase in assumed

reserves from the PGFL and PLICJ U.S. dollar denominated business.

Commissions

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Commissions increased $59 million from $163 million for the three

months ended March 31, 2016 to $222 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was

primarily driven by an increase in commissions in the international insurance business due to growth in U.S. dollar

denominated business assumed from PGFL and PLICJ. Additionally, assumed commissions increased in the

annuities business as a result of the reinsurance transaction with PLNJ.

6

Other Expenses

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Other expenses increased $39 million from $364 million for the

three months ended March 31, 2016 to $403 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase

between periods was primarily driven by higher compensation related expenses in the corporate and other

business. Partially offsetting these increases were lower expenses in the annuities business driven by adjustments

on reinsurance assumed related to the reinsurance transaction with PLNJ.

Net Transfer From Separate Accounts

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. The net transfer from the separate accounts was ($1,824) million for

the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a net transfer from the separate accounts of ($1,423) million

for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $401 million change was primarily driven by an increase in

separate account withdrawals as well as the impact of new pension risk transfer transactions in the retirement

business completed since the first quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting this activity was as a partial surrender in

the group insurance business of a large TOLI contract during the first quarter of 2016.

Dividends to Policyholders

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Dividends to policyholders decreased $15 million from $53 million

for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily

driven by adjustments related to participating contracts in the group insurance business as well as the continued

run-off of the Closed Block.

Income Tax Provision

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. The income tax expense increased $76 million from $25 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $101 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily due

to the increase in pretax book income. The income tax provision is calculated in accordance with SSAP No. 101,

Income Taxes. For interim periods, income taxes are computed using an estimated annual effective tax rate. The

rate is computed as the ratio of projected income tax provision for the entire year over projected statutory net gain

from operations for the year.

7

Capital (Losses)/Gains

2017 to 2016 Three Month Comparison. Net realized capital losses, after taxes and contribution to the IMR,

increased $136 million, from $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $163 million for the three

months ended March 31, 2017. The following table sets forth the components of net realized capital losses:

Net realized capital losses……….…...……………….. $ (163) $ (27) $ (136)

Net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were primarily driven by capital gains

tax, losses on derivatives and other-than-temporary impairments on bonds. For interim periods, the capital gains

tax is derived as the difference between the total tax and the income tax provision. The total tax is a function of

pre-tax book income and the use of the effective tax rate method. Derivative losses of $39 million were primarily

driven by equity swap settlements on short positions due to favorable market conditions in the current period. The

losses on bonds of $6 million include $21 million of other-than-temporary impairments.

Net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were primarily driven by realized capital

losses on bonds, partially offset by gains on other assets related to short-term investments and real estate. The

losses on bonds of $111 million include $52 million of other-than-temporary bond impairments. The IMR

transfers of $20 million were primarily driven by losses on bonds, partially offset by gains on short-term

investments and derivatives.

Change in net unrealized capital gains was $160 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and was

mainly due to affiliated common stock gains primarily driven by admittance of a previously non-admitted loan as

well as earnings from PICA’s insurance subsidiary, PRIAC.

Change in net unrealized capital gains was $646 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and was

mainly due to gains from derivatives as a result of a decrease in interest rates during the period. In addition,

affiliated common stock gains were driven by earnings from PICA’s insurance subsidiary, PLI. These gains were

partially offset by deferred taxes.

was 4.51% and 4.39%, respectively. The increase in the income yield was primarily driven by higher yield from

non-coupon investments for the three months ended 2017. The following table sets forth the income yield and

investment income, excluding realized investment gains (losses) and IMR amortization, for each major investment

category of PICA for the periods indicated.

Bonds

PICA held approximately 66% and 65% of its invested general account assets in bonds as of March 31, 2017

and December 31, 2016, respectively. These securities included both publicly-traded and privately-placed debt

securities representing an array of industry categories.

PICA manages its public portfolio to a risk profile directed by the CIO Organization and Risk Management

groups and to a profile that also reflects the local market environment impacting its insurance portfolio. PICA

seeks to employ relative value analysis both in credit selection and in purchasing and selling securities. The return

that PICA earns on the portfolio is reflected both as investment income and also as realized gains or losses on

investments.

PICA uses privately-placed corporate debt securities and commercial mortgage loans, which consist of well-

underwritten mortgages on diversified properties in terms of geography, property type and borrowers, to enhance

yield on its portfolio and to improve the overall diversification of the portfolio. Private placements typically offer

enhanced yields due to an illiquidity premium and generally offer enhanced credit protection in the form of

covenants. PICA’s origination capability offers the opportunity to lead transactions and gives it the opportunity

for better terms, including covenants and call protection, and to take advantage of innovative deal structures.

Asset-Backed Securities

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Industrial & miscellaneous (unaffiliated) carrying value

included approximately $0.3 billion ($0.4 billion fair value) and $0.4 billion ($0.4 billion fair value) of securities

collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, respectively. While there is no market standard definition, PICA defines

sub-prime mortgages as residential mortgages that are originated to weaker quality obligors as indicated by weaker

credit scores, as well as mortgages with higher loan-to-value ratios, or limited documentation.

The table above provides ratings assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies as of March 31, 2017,

including S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. In making its investment decisions, rather than relying solely on the rating

agencies’ evaluations, PICA assigns internal ratings to its asset-backed securities based upon its dedicated asset-

backed securities unit’s independent evaluation of the underlying collateral and securitization structure, including

any guarantees from monoline bond insurers.

The carrying value of asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages decreased from $0.4

billion ($0.4 billion fair value) as of December 31, 2016, to $0.3 billion ($0.4 billion fair value) as of March 31,

2017, primarily reflecting sales and paydowns.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, Industrial & miscellaneous (unaffiliated) carrying value

included approximately $4.6 billion ($4.7 billion fair value) and $4.7 billion ($4.8 billion fair value) of commercial

mortgage-backed securities, respectively.

Bond Credit Quality

The SVO evaluates the investments of insurers for statutory reporting purposes and assigns bonds to one of

six categories called "NAIC Designations." In general, NAIC Designations of "1" highest quality or "2" high

quality include bonds considered investment grade, which include securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moody's or

BBB- or higher by S&P. NAIC Designations of "3" through "6" generally include bonds referred to as below

investment grade, which include securities rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's and BB+ or lower by S&P. The NAIC

Designations for commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities,

including PICA’s asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, are based on security level

expected losses as modeled by an independent third-party (engaged by the NAIC) and the statutory carrying value

of the security, including any purchase discounts or impairment charges previously recognized.

As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents, and the

completion of the SVO filing process, the bond portfolio generally includes securities that have not yet been

designated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date. Pending receipt of SVO designations, the categorization of

these securities by NAIC Designation is based on the expected designations indicated by internal analysis.

The fair values of public bonds are based on quoted market prices or prices obtained from independent pricing

services. In order to validate reasonability, prices are obtained from multiple independent services where available

and are also reviewed by PICA’s internal asset managers through comparison with directly observed recent market

trades or comparison of all significant inputs used by the pricing service to our observations of those inputs in the

market. For investments in private bonds, this information is not available. For these private bonds, the fair value

is determined typically by using a discounted cash flow model, which relies upon the average of spread surveys

collected from private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions and takes

into account, among other factors, the credit quality of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private

bonds.

In determining the fair value of certain bonds, the discounted cash flow model may also use unobservable

inputs, which reflect PICA’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments of Bonds

PICA maintains separate monitoring processes for public and private bonds and creates watch lists to highlight

bonds that require special scrutiny and management. The public bond asset managers review on a quarterly basis

and more frequently when necessary to identify potential credit deterioration whether due to ratings downgrades,

unexpected price variances, and/or company or industry specific concerns.

For private placements, PICA’s credit and portfolio management processes help ensure prudent controls over

valuation and management. PICA has separate pricing and authorization processes to establish "checks and

balances" for new investments. PICA applies consistent standards of credit analysis and due diligence for all

transactions, whether they originate through its own in-house origination staff or through agents. PICA's regional

14

offices closely monitor the portfolios in their regions. PICA sets all valuation standards centrally, and assesses the

fair value of all investments quarterly. PICA’s private bond asset managers formally review all private bond

holdings on a quarterly basis or more frequently when necessary to identify potential credit deterioration whether

due to ratings downgrades, unexpected price variances, and/or company or industry specific concerns.

All bonds with unrealized losses are subject to review to identify other-than-temporary impairments in value.

In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, PICA considers several factors including, but

not limited to, the following:

• the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, currency or interest rate related, including general credit

spread widening);

• PICA's ability and intent to hold its investment for a period of time to allow for recovery of value;

• PICA's intent to sell its investment before recovery of the cost of the investment;

• the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer; and

• the extent and duration of the decline.

In determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, PICA places a greater emphasis on analysis

of the underlying credit versus the extent and duration of a decline in value. PICA’s credit analysis of an

investment includes determining whether the issuer is current on its contractual payments, evaluating whether it

is probable that PICA will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security,

and analyzing PICA’s overall ability to recover the carrying value of the investment. PICA continues to utilize

valuation declines as a potential indicator of credit deterioration, and applies additional levels of scrutiny in its

analysis as the severity and duration of the decline increases.

Under SSAP No. 43R, an other-than-temporary impairment occurs when the entity does not expect (on a

discounted basis) to recover the entire cost basis of a loan-backed or structured security. The amount of the other-

than-temporary impairment recognized as a realized loss equals the difference between the investment's cost basis

and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in

the debt security prior to impairment. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected becomes the new

cost basis of the investment. Additionally, if an entity wrote the security down to fair value due to the intent to

sell or because it does not have the ability and intent to hold a security in an unrealized loss position for a period

of time sufficient to recover the cost of the security, the non-interest related portion of the other-than-temporary

impairment losses is recorded through the AVR while the interest related other-than-temporary impairment losses

is recorded through the IMR.

Preferred Stock

PICA held less than 1% of its invested general account assets in preferred stock as of both March 31, 2017

and December 31, 2016.

Common Stocks

PICA held approximately 6% and 5% of its invested general account assets in common stock as of March 31,

2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Substantially all of PICA's unaffiliated common stocks are publicly-

traded on national securities exchanges.

Impairments of Common Stocks

Common stocks with unrealized losses are subject to review to identify other-than-temporary impairments in

value. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, PICA consistently considers several

factors including, but not limited to, the following:

15

• the extent and the duration of the decline; including, but not limited to, the following general guidelines:

o declines in value greater than 20%, maintained for six months or greater;

o declines in value maintained for one year or greater; and

o declines in value greater than 50%.

• the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, currency or market fluctuation);

• PICA’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value,

including common stock managed by independent third parties where we do not have management

discretion; and

• the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer.

PICA generally recognizes other-than-temporary impairments for securities with declines in value greater

than 50% maintained for six months or greater or with any decline in value maintained for one year or greater. In

addition, in making its determinations PICA continues to analyze the financial condition and near-term prospects

of the issuer, including an assessment of the issuer’s capital position, and considers its ability and intent to hold

the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value.

When it has been determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment, PICA records a write down

in its Statement of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus within "Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)"

to the estimated fair value, which reduces the cost basis. The new cost basis of an impaired security is not adjusted

for subsequent increases in estimated fair value. Estimated fair values for publicly traded common stock are based

on quoted market prices or prices obtained from independent pricing services. Estimated fair values for privately

traded common stock are determined using valuation and discounted cash flow models that require a substantial

level of judgment.

PICA’s mortgage loans are geographically dispersed throughout the United States (with the largest

concentrations in California ($4.9 billion), New York ($1.7 billion), and Texas ($1.7 billion)) and include loans

secured by properties in Europe as of March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017, PICA’s investments in mortgage loans had a weighted average debt service coverage

ratio of 2.37 times, and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 52%. Loan-to-value and debt service coverage

ratios are measures commonly used to assess the quality of mortgage loans. The loan-to-value ratio compares the

amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan, and is commonly expressed

as a percentage. A loan-to-value ratio less than 100% indicates an excess of collateral value over the loan amount.

Loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% indicate that the loan amount exceeds the collateral value. The debt service

coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments. Debt service coverage

ratios less than 1.0 times indicate that property operations do not generate enough income to cover the loan’s

current debt payments. A debt service coverage ratio greater than 1.0 times indicates an excess of net operating

income over the debt service payments.

The values utilized in calculating these loan-to-value ratios are developed as part of PICA’s periodic review

of the mortgage loan portfolio, which includes an internal evaluation of the underlying collateral value. PICA’s

periodic review also includes a quality re-rating process, whereby it updates the internal quality rating originally

assigned at underwriting based on the proprietary quality rating system mentioned above.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate Quality

Ongoing review of the portfolio is performed and loans are placed on watch list status based on a predefined

set of criteria, where they are assigned to one of the following categories. PICA classifies loans as closely

monitored when it determines there is a collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential

loss of principal or interest. Loans not in good standing are those loans where PICA has concluded that there is a

high probability of loss of principal, such as when the loan is in the process of foreclosure or the borrower is in

bankruptcy. PICA’s workout and special servicing professionals manage the loans on the watch list. As described

below, in determining PICA’s allowance for losses, it evaluates each loan on the watch list to determine if it is

probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.

PICA establishes an allowance for losses to provide for the risk of credit losses inherent in the lending process.

The allowance includes loan-specific reserves for loans that are determined to be impaired as a result of PICA’s

loan review process. PICA defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it estimates it is probable that amounts

due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The loan specific loss allowance

is based on PICA’s assessment as to ultimate collectability of loan principal and interest. Valuation allowances

for an impaired loan are recorded based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s

effective interest rate or based on the fair value of the collateral less the estimated costs to obtain and sell. The

valuation allowance for mortgage loans can increase or decrease from period to period based on these factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash resources to meet the payment obligations of PICA.

Capital refers to the long term financial resources available to support the operation of PICA’s businesses, fund

business growth, and provide a cushion to withstand adverse circumstances.

PICA's principal cash flow sources from insurance, annuities and guaranteed products are premiums and

annuity considerations, investment and fee income, and investment maturities and sales. PICA supplements these

cash inflows with financing activities. PICA’s cash outflow requirements principally relate to benefits, claims,

dividends paid to policyholders, and payments to contract holders in connection with surrenders, withdrawals and

net policy loan activity. Benefits include the payment of benefits under life insurance, annuity and guaranteed

products. PICA’s uses of cash also include commissions, general and administrative expenses, purchases of

investments, and debt service and repayments in connection with financing activities, as well as dividend

payments to its parent, PFI.

Some of PICA's products, such as guaranteed products offered to institutional customers, provide for payment

of accumulated funds to the contract holder at a specified maturity date unless the contract holder elects to roll

over the funds into another contract with PICA. PICA regularly monitors its liquidity requirements associated

with policyholder and contract holder obligations so that it can manage cash inflows to match anticipated cash

outflow requirements.

In addition, PICA has several subsidiaries that are subject to regulatory limitations on the payment of

dividends to PICA.

PICA is subject to regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends. New Jersey insurance law provides

that, except in the case of extraordinary dividends (as described below), all dividends or distributions paid by

PICA may be paid only from unassigned surplus, as determined pursuant to SAP, less unrealized capital gains

and revaluation of assets. PICA must give prior notification to the Commissioner of its intent to pay any dividend

or distribution. Also, if any dividend, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding

twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the prior calendar year’s statutory surplus or (ii) the prior calendar

year’s statutory net gain from operations (excluding realized capital gains), the dividend is considered to be an

“extraordinary dividend” and the prior approval of the Commissioner is required for payment of the dividend.

Moreover, the Commissioner is authorized to disallow the payment of any dividend or distribution, even if the

dividend is not an “extraordinary dividend”, if it determines that PICA does not have a reasonable surplus as to

policyholders relative to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs or if it finds PICA to be in a

hazardous financial condition.

In June 2016, PICA paid a dividend of $900 million to its parent, PFI, of which $463 million was an

extraordinary dividend and $437 million was an ordinary dividend. Of the $900 million dividend, $542 million

was recorded as a return of capital and $358 million was recorded as dividend to stockholders. The extraordinary

dividend was approved by the Commissioner in May 2016.

In April 2016, PICA paid a dividend of $2,118 million to its parent, PFI, of which $1,513 million was an

extraordinary dividend and $605 million was an ordinary dividend. The dividend was recorded as dividend to

stockholders. The extraordinary dividend was approved by the Commissioner in April 2016.

Net cash provided by operations was $224 million and $374 million for the three months ended March 31,

2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The fluctuation between periods was primarily driven by a decrease in

other income, partially offset by a decrease in federal income taxes paid.

21

Net cash (used in) investing activities was ($973) million and ($3,259) million for the three months ended

March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The fluctuation between periods was principally driven by a

decrease in net investments in bonds. PICA’s cash flows from investment activities result from repayments of

principal, proceeds from maturities and sales of invested assets and investment income, net of amounts reinvested.

The primary liquidity risks with respect to these cash flows are the risk of default by debtors or bond insurers,

PICA counterparties’ willingness to extend repurchase and/or securities lending arrangements and market

volatility. PICA closely manages these risks through our credit risk management process and regular monitoring

of our liquidity position.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($129) million and $1,247 million for three months

ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The fluctuation between periods was principally driven

by a change in collateralization of derivatives between periods.

Included in financing activity above were contractually scheduled withdrawals and prepayments of general

account GICs totaling $1,620 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Because these contractual

withdrawals, as well as the level of surrenders experienced, were consistent with PICA's assumptions in asset

liability management, the associated cash outflows did not have an adverse impact on PICA’s overall liquidity.

PICA believes that cash flows from its insurance, annuity and guaranteed products operations are adequate to

satisfy the current liquidity requirements of these operations based on its current liability structure and considering

a variety of reasonably foreseeable stress scenarios. The continued adequacy of this liquidity will depend upon

factors including future securities market conditions, changes in interest rate levels, policyholder perceptions of

PICA's financial strength and the relative safety of competing products, each of which could lead to reduced cash

inflows or increased cash outflows. In addition, market volatility can impact the level of capital required to support

PICA’s businesses, particularly PICA’s annuity business.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, PICA had cash and short-term investments of approximately

$3.4 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, and investment grade bonds with a fair market value of $76 billion and

$75 billion, respectively.

Financing

PF, a wholly owned subsidiary of PICA, continues to serve as a source of financing for PICA and its

subsidiaries, as well as for other subsidiaries of PFI. PF operates under a support agreement with PICA whereby

PICA has agreed to maintain PF's positive tangible net worth at all times. PF borrows funds primarily through

the direct issuance of commercial paper. PF’s outstanding loans to other subsidiaries of PFI have declined over

time as it transitions into a financing company primarily for PICA and its remaining subsidiaries. As of March

31, 2017, PF had a tangible net worth of $20 million and short-term and long-term notes outstanding of $657

million and $221 million, respectively.

PF maintains a commercial paper program with an authorized capacity of $7 billion. PF's outstanding

commercial paper was $657 million as of March 31, 2017, representing an increase of $131 million from

December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the weighted average maturity of PF’s outstanding commercial paper

was 34 days, none of which was due overnight. As of March 31, 2017, the majority of these proceeds were utilized

to fund short-term cash flow timing mismatches and the working capital needs of PF’s affiliates, while the

remainder was primarily held in cash and cash equivalents. The daily average commercial paper outstanding for

the three months ended March 31, 2017 under this program was $940 million. The weighted average interest rates

on these borrowings were 0.69% and 0.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

PFI has issued a subordinated guarantee covering PF’s commercial paper program.

As of March 31, 2017, PFI and PF maintained a $4.0 billion unsecured committed credit facility expiring in

April 2020. Borrowings under this credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, and PFI expects that

22

it may borrow under this facility from time to time to fund its working capital needs. In addition, amounts under

this credit facility may be drawn in the form of standby letters of credit that can be used to meet PFI’s operating

needs. The credit facility contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default and

borrowings under the facility are not contingent on PFI’s credit ratings nor subject to material adverse change

clauses. As of March 31, 2017, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

Borrowings under this credit facility are conditioned on the continued satisfaction of customary financial

covenants, including PFI’s maintenance of consolidated net worth of at least $18.985 billion, which is calculated

as U.S. GAAP equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), equity of noncontrolling

interests and equity attributable to the Closed Block. As of March 31, 2017, PFI was in compliance with the

covenants under this credit facility.

PICA maintains a Funding Agreement Notes Issuance Program pursuant to which Delaware statutory trusts

issue medium-term notes and commercial paper secured by funding agreements issued to the trusts by the

Company. Under this program, the maximum authorized amount is $15 billion of medium-term notes and $3

billion of commercial paper. The outstanding commercial paper and notes have fixed or floating interest rates

that range from 0.0% to 2.6% and original maturities ranging from seven days to five years. As a result, the

medium-term notes and commercial paper are included, along with liabilities relating to other funding agreements,

in the line item “Policyholders’ account balances” and not in the line item “Notes payable and other borrowings”

on PICA’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus.

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such notes and

commercial paper totaled $4.1 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. Included in the amounts at March 31, 2017

and December 31, 2016 is the medium-term note liability, which is carried at amortized cost, of $3.2 billion and

$3.2 billion, respectively, and short-term note liability of $0.9 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

On September 13, 2016, a Delaware trust issued in a private placement $350 million in aggregate principal

amount of 1.450% Medium-Term Notes due September 13, 2019.

On June 27, 2016, a Delaware trust issued in a private placement $100 million in aggregate principal amount

of Floating Rate Medium-Term Notes due June 27, 2018.

On June 3, 2016, a Delaware trust issued in a private placement $500 million in aggregate principal amount

of 2.200% Medium-Term Notes due June 3, 2021.

PICA’s ability to issue new notes under this program will depend on market conditions. PICA intends to

repay the maturing notes and commercial paper through a combination of cash flows from asset maturities, asset

sales, and internal sources of funds such as PF.

PICA is a member of the FHLBNY. Membership allows PICA access to the FHLBNY’s financial services,

including the ability to obtain collateralized advances and to issue collateralized funding agreements. FHLBNY

borrowings and funding agreements are collateralized by qualifying mortgage-related assets or U.S. Treasury

securities, the fair value of which must be maintained at certain specified levels relative to outstanding borrowings.

FHLBNY membership requires PICA to own member stock and borrowings require the purchase of activity-based

stock in an amount equal to 4.5% of outstanding borrowings. Under FHLBNY guidelines, if PICA’s financial

strength ratings decline below A/A2/A Stable by S&P/Moody’s/Fitch, respectively, and the FHLBNY does not

receive written assurances from the NJDOBI regarding PICA’s solvency, new borrowings from the FHLBNY

would be limited to a term of 90 days or less. Currently there are no restrictions on the term of borrowings from

the FHLBNY. All FHLBNY stock purchased by PICA is classified as restricted general account investments

within “Other invested assets” and the carrying value of these investments was $78 million and $78 million as of

March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

23

NJDOBI permits PICA to pledge collateral to the FHLBNY in an amount of up to 5% of its prior year-end

statutory net admitted assets, excluding separate account assets. Based on PICA’s statutory net admitted assets as

of December 31, 2016, the 5% limitation equates to a maximum amount of pledged assets of $6.2 billion and an

estimated maximum borrowing capacity (after taking into account required collateralization levels) of

approximately $5.3 billion of which $1 billion was outstanding. Nevertheless, FHLBNY borrowings are subject

to the FHLBNY’s discretion and to the availability of qualifying assets at PICA.

As of March 31, 2017, PICA had pledged assets with a fair value of $1.2 billion supporting outstanding

funding agreements totaling $1.0 billion, which are included in “Policyholders’ account balances.” The fair value

of qualifying assets that were available to PICA, but not pledged, amounted to $5.8 billion as of March 31, 2017.

PICA had no other advances outstanding under the FHLBNY facility as of March 31, 2017.

PRIAC is a member of the FHLBB. Membership allows PRIAC access to collateralized advances. PRIAC’s

membership in FHLBB requires the ownership of member stock and borrowings from FHLBB require the

purchase of FHLBB activity-based stock in an amount between 3.0% and 4.5% of outstanding borrowings,

depending on the maturity date of the obligation. As of March 31, 2017, PRIAC had no advances outstanding

under the FHLBB facility. All FHLBB stock purchased by PRIAC is classified as restricted general account

investments within " Other invested assets" and the carrying value of these investments was $10 million and $10

million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Under Connecticut state insurance law, without the prior consent of the Connecticut Insurance Department,

the amount of assets insurers may pledge to secure debt obligations is limited to the lesser of 5% of prior-year

statutory admitted assets or 25% of prior-year statutory surplus, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity for

PRIAC under the FHLBB facility of approximately $0.2 billion as of March 31, 2017.

Non-Insurance Contractual Obligations

The following table presents PICA's contractual cash flow commitments on notes payable and other

borrowings and surplus notes, excluding interest payable, as of March 31, 2017. This table does not reflect PICA's

obligations under its insurance, annuity and guaranteed products contracts.

(1) The amounts for notes payable and other borrowings represent scheduled principal repayments on debt. The amount reported on

the balance sheet of the statutory financial statements represents the carrying value. The balance sheet amount was $275 million

and $182 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. PICA had accrued interest of $2 million outstanding

as of March 31, 2017.

(2) The amounts for surplus notes represent the aggregate principal amounts. The amount reported in the capital and surplus section

of the statutory financial statements represents the current statement value.

In addition to the amounts shown above, PICA is a party to operating leases for which its future minimum

lease payments under non-cancelable leases were $334 million and $341 million as of March 31, 2017 and

24

December 31, 2016, respectively.

During the normal course of its business, PICA utilizes financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit

risk such as commitments and financial guarantees. Commitments primarily include commitments to fund

investments in private placement securities, limited partnerships and other investments, as well as commitments

to originate mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these commitments were $3,385

million and $4,636 million, respectively.

Certain contracts underwritten by the Retirement business include guarantees related to financial assets owned

by the guaranteed party. These contracts are accounted for as derivatives, at fair value. As of March 31, 2017,

these contracts in force carried a total guaranteed value of $78 billion. These guarantees are supported by collateral

that is not reflected on PICA’s balance sheet. This collateral had a fair value of $78 billion as of March 31, 2017.

Contingencies

PICA has entered into reinsurance agreements with PLICJ, PGFL, PLICK, and other foreign entities, all of

which are affiliates of PICA. In each case, PICA has agreed to reinsure certain individual life insurance policies

through excess risk term contracts. Furthermore, PICA has agreed to co-insure U.S. dollar-denominated policies

sold by PLICJ and PGFL. For these reinsurance policies assumed, PICA has retroceded a portion of these risks

to affiliated companies.

PICA has committed to repurchase securities under master repurchase agreements in the amount of $4,921

million and holds cash collateral for loaned securities of $1,210 million as of March 31, 2017. PICA conducts

asset-based or secured financing, including transactions such as securities lending, repurchase agreements and

mortgage dollar rolls, to earn spread income, to borrow funds, or to facilitate trading activity. These programs are

primarily driven by portfolio holdings of securities that are lendable based on counterparty demand for these

securities in the marketplace. The collateral received in connection with these programs is primarily used to

purchase securities in PICA’s short-term spread portfolios. Investments held in the short-term spread portfolio

include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mortgage loans and fixed maturities, including

mortgage- and asset-backed securities, with a weighted average life at time of purchase by the short-term

portfolios of four years or less. Floating rate assets comprise the majority of our short-term spread portfolio.

These short-term portfolios are subject to specific investment policy statements, which among other things, do not

allow for significant asset/liability interest rate duration mismatch.

Capital

The Risk Based Capital, or RBC, ratio is the primary measure by which PICA evaluates its capital adequacy.

PICA’s RBC ratio is managed to a level consistent with a “AA” ratings objective; however, ratings agencies take

into account a variety of factors in assigning ratings to PICA. RBC is determined by statutory formulas that

consider risks related to the type and quality of the invested assets, insurance-related risks associated with an

insurer’s products, interest rate risks and general business risks. The RBC ratio calculations are intended to assist

insurance regulators in measuring the adequacy of an insurer’s statutory capitalization. PICA reported an RBC

ratio of 457% as of December 31, 2016, which exceeds the minimum levels required by applicable insurance

regulations. The level of statutory capital of PICA can be materially impacted by interest rate and equity market

fluctuations, changes in the values of derivatives, the level of impairments recorded, and credit quality migration

of the investment portfolio, among other items. Further, a recapture of business subject to reinsurance

arrangements due to defaults by, or credit quality migration affecting, the reinsurers could result in higher required

statutory capital levels. The level of statutory capital of PICA is also affected by statutory accounting rules, which

are subject to change by insurance regulators. (The inclusion of RBC measures is intended solely for the

information of investors and is not intended for the purpose of ranking any insurance company or for use in

connection with any marketing, advertising or promotional activities.)

25

PICA employs a Capital Protection Framework to ensure that sufficient capital resources are available to

maintain adequate capitalization and competitive RBC ratio and solvency margins under various stress scenarios.

The Capital Protection Framework incorporates the potential impacts from market related stresses, including

equity markets, real estate, interest rates, credit losses, and foreign currency exchange rates. Potential sources of

capital include on-balance sheet capital, derivatives, reinsurance and contingent sources of capital. Although we

continue to enhance our approach, we believe we currently have access to sufficient resources to maintain

adequate capitalization and competitive RBC ratios and solvency margins under a range of potential stress

scenarios.

Ratings Developments

Ratings

Financial strength ratings (which are sometimes referred to as “claims-paying” ratings) and credit ratings are

important factors affecting public confidence in an insurer and its competitive position in marketing products.

PICA’s credit ratings are also important for its ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and for the cost

of such financing. Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations continually review the financial

performance and financial condition of the entities they rate, including PICA and its rated affiliates.

A downgrade in the credit or financial strength ratings of PICA or its rated affiliates could potentially, among

other things, limit PICA’s ability to market products, reduce its competitiveness, increase the number or value of

policy surrenders and withdrawals, increase borrowing costs and potentially make it more difficult to borrow

funds, adversely affect the availability of financial guarantees, such as letters of credit, cause additional collateral

requirements or other required payments under certain agreements, allow counterparties to terminate derivative

agreements and/or hurt PICA’s relationships with creditors, distributors or trading counterparties, thereby

potentially negatively affecting its profitability, liquidity and/or capital. In addition, PICA considers its own risk

of non-performance in determining the fair value of its liabilities. Therefore, changes in its credit or financial

strength ratings may affect the fair value of its liabilities.

Financial strength ratings represent the opinions of rating agencies regarding the financial ability of an

insurance company to meet its obligations under an insurance policy. Credit ratings represent the opinions of

rating agencies regarding an entity’s ability to repay its indebtedness. The following table summarizes the

financial strength ratings for PICA as of March 31, 2017.

S&P(1) Moody's(2)

A.M.

Best(3) Fitch(4)

Financial Strength Ratings: AA- A1 A+ AA-

(1) S&P financial strength ratings for insurance companies range from “AAA (extremely strong)” to “D (default).” A rating of

AA- is the fourth highest of twenty-three rating categories.

(2) Moody's insurance financial strength ratings range from “Aaa (exceptional)” to “C (lowest).” A rating of A1 is the fifth

highest of twenty-one rating categories. Numeric modifiers are used to refer to the ranking within the group—with 1 being

the highest and 3 being the lowest. These modifiers are used to indicate relative strength within a category.

(3) A.M. Best financial strength ratings for insurance companies currently range from “A++ (superior)” to “S (suspended).” A

rating of A+ is the second highest of sixteen rating categories.

(4) Fitch financial strength ratings range from “AAA (exceptionally strong)” to “C (distressed).” A rating of AA- is the fourth

highest of nineteen rating categories.

26

The ratings set forth above reflect current opinions of each rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated

independently of any other rating. These ratings are reviewed periodically and may be changed at any time by

the rating agencies. As a result, there is no assurance that PICA will maintain its current ratings in the future.

Rating agencies use an “outlook” statement for both industry sectors and individual companies. For an

industry sector, a Stable outlook generally implies that over the next 12-18 months, the rating agency expects

ratings to remain unchanged among companies in the sector. This year, Moody’s and A.M. Best changed the

Rating Outlook on the U.S. life insurance industry to Negative from Stable. Fitch and S&P continued to keep the

life insurance industry on Stable outlook; however, Fitch revised its Sector Outlook for U.S. life insurers to

Negative. For a particular company, an outlook generally indicates a medium- or long-term trend (generally six

months to two years) in credit fundamentals, which if continued, may lead to a rating change. These indicators

are not necessarily a precursor of a rating change nor do they preclude a rating agency from changing a rating at

any time without notice. Currently, Fitch has all of the Company’s ratings on Positive outlook; A.M. Best,

Moody’s and S&P have all of PICA’s ratings on Stable outlook.

In May 2017, Fitch affirmed the Company’s ratings and revised the company outlook for Prudential Insurance

and certain other affiliated insurance companies from Negative to Stable. A rating agency company outlook

generally indicates a medium-or long-term trend (generally six months to two years) in credit fundamentals, which

if continued, may lead to a rating change. These indicators are not necessarily a precursor of a rating change nor

do they preclude a rating agency from changing a rating at any time without notice.

On November 15, 2016, Moody’s revised its Rating Outlook on the U.S. life insurance industry to Negative.

Moody’s outlook indicates their expectations for the fundamental credit conditions driving the U.S. life insurance

industry over the next 12-18 months. The change in the outlook is a result of increased pressure on life insurers’

sales, revenues and profitability due to persistent low interest rates and weak economic growth, together with

regulatory pressures on product distribution. The change in outlook back to Stable from Negative can occur with

a gradual, steady increase in long-term interest rates in 2017, underpinned by strong equity market levels and an

improvement in economic growth.

On December 7, 2016, A.M. Best revised its Rating Outlook on the U.S. life insurance industry to Negative.

The revision of the Rating Outlook to Negative reflects A.M. Best’s view that the industry is entering into a period

of increased volatility across both economic and regulatory fronts. A.M. Best’s outlook indicates that there is

uncertainty around the slow premium growth for life and other products, disruption from merger and acquisition

activity, and the industry’s historic slow incremental approach in the face of a rapidly changing landscape.

Requirements to post collateral or make other payments, as a result of ratings downgrades, under certain

agreements, including derivative agreements, can be satisfied in cash or by posting permissible securities held by

PICA and/or its affiliate subject to the agreements. In addition, a ratings downgrade by A.M. Best to "A-" for

PICA would require PICA to either post collateral or a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $1.5 billion,

based on the level of statutory reserves related to the variable annuity business acquired from Allstate Financial.

Management believes that the posting of such collateral would not be a material liquidity event for PICA.

In view of the difficulties experienced in recent years by many financial institutions, the rating agencies have

heightened the level of scrutiny that they apply to such institutions, have increased the frequency and scope of

their credit reviews, have requested additional information from the companies that they rate, and may adjust

upward the capital and other requirements employed in the rating agency models for maintenance of certain ratings

levels, such as the financial strength ratings currently held by PICA. In addition, actions PICA might take to access

third party financing or to realign its capital structure may in turn cause rating agencies to reevaluate PICA’s

ratings.

27

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

PICA is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its businesses. Pending legal and

regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of PICA’s businesses and operations that are specific to

it and proceedings that are typical of the businesses in which it operates, including in both cases businesses that

have been either divested or placed in wind-down status. Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf

of various alleged classes of complainants. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs are seeking large and/or

indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages. The outcome of litigation or a regulatory

matter, and the amount or range of potential loss at any particular time, is often inherently uncertain. PICA

establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the

amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be

reasonably possible, but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established but

the matter, if material, is disclosed. PICA estimates that as of March 31, 2017, the aggregate range of reasonably

possible losses in excess of accruals established for those litigation and regulatory matters for which such an

estimate currently can be made is less than $250 million. Any estimate is not an indication of expected loss, if

any, or PICA’s maximum possible loss exposure on such matters. PICA reviews relevant information with respect

to its litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly and annual basis and updates its accruals, disclosures and

estimates of reasonably possible loss based on such reviews.

For a discussion of PICA’s litigations and regulatory matters, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of PICA as of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2016-

Litigation and Regulatory Matters” in the Offering Circular dated May 10, 2017, relating to the $15,000,000,000

Global Medium Term Note Program of PRICOA Global Funding I.

Summary

PICA’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and

scope, their outcomes cannot be predicted. It is possible that PICA’s results of operations or cash flow in a

particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending

litigation and regulatory matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. In

light of the unpredictability of PICA’s litigation and regulatory matters, it is also possible that in certain cases an

ultimate unfavorable resolution of one or more pending litigation or regulatory matters could have a material

adverse effect on PICA’s financial position. Management believes, however, that, based on information currently

known to it, the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory matters, after consideration of applicable

reserves and rights to indemnification is not likely to have a material adverse effect on PICA’s financial position.

THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016

1. BUSINESS

The Prudential Insurance Company of America (the “Company”, “Prudential Insurance”

or “PICA”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential

Financial”). The principal products and services of PICA include individual life insurance

and annuities, group insurance and pension and retirement products and related services

and administration.

Through March 31, 2016, the Company reinsured the majority of its variable annuity living

benefit guarantees to an affiliated reinsurance company, Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. (“Pruco

Re”). Effective April 1, 2016, the Company recaptured the risks related to its variable

annuity living benefit riders that were previously reinsured to Pruco Re. In addition, the

Company reinsured variable annuity base contracts, along with the living benefit riders,

from Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("PLNJ"). This reinsurance agreement

covers new and in force business and excludes business reinsured externally. The product

risks related to the reinsured business are being managed within the Company. In addition,

the living benefit hedging program related to the reinsured living benefit riders is managed

within the Company.

For the coinsurance component of the reinsurance agreement with PLNJ, the Company

received invested assets of approximately $0.7 billion and established reserves of $0.7

billion. For the Modified coinsurance (“Modco”) component of the reinsurance agreement,

the initial Modco transactions were reported on a net basis on the Statement of Operations

and Changes in Capital and Surplus for both the ceding and assuming companies. The

Modco reserve balance on the effective date of this new reinsurance agreement was $8.4

billion.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES

The Company, domiciled in the state of New Jersey, prepares its statutory financial

statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New

Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”). Prescribed statutory

accounting practices (“SAP”) include publications of the National Association of Insurance

Commissioners (“NAIC”), state laws, regulations and general administrative rules.

Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so

prescribed. NAIC SAP reporting differs from generally accepted accounting principles in

the United States of America (“GAAP”). NAIC SAP is designed to address the concerns

of regulators. GAAP is designed to meet the varying needs of the different users of

financial statements. NAIC SAP is considered to be more conservative than GAAP in

certain respects and attempts to determine at the financial statement date an insurer’s ability

to pay claims in the future. GAAP, on the other hand, stresses measurement of emerging

earnings of a business from period to period, by matching revenue to expense.

Management has assessed the non-insurance entities subject to SSAP No. 97, “Investments

in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities”, and, based upon the amount of capital

that these entities represent and PICA’s strong capital position, management has decided

not to obtain GAAP audits for 23 entities as of March 31, 2017. Management has therefore

valued these entities for purposes of its financial statements at zero. At the end of future

fiscal years, management may decide to obtain U.S. GAAP audits for entities subject to

35

SSAP No. 97 and thereby restore their equity value for purposes of inclusion in capital and

surplus.

Annex 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PICA

AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017

(See Annex A for definitions of certain terms used in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis)

Summary of Principal Differences between SAP and GAAP

The financial information for The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA” or the

“Company”) in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis has been prepared and presented in accordance

with SAP. Certain differences exist between SAP and GAAP which might be material to the financial

information herein. The matters described below summarize certain differences between SAP and GAAP that

may be material. The Company is responsible for preparing the summary below. The Company has not

prepared a complete reconciliation of its consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures

between SAP and GAAP and has not quantified such differences. Accordingly, no assurance is provided that

the following summary of differences between SAP and GAAP is complete. In making an investment

decision, investors must rely upon their own examination of the Company, the terms of the offering and the

financial information. Potential investors should consult their own professional advisors for an understanding

of the differences between SAP and GAAP, and how those differences might affect the financial information

herein.

The significant differences between SAP and GAAP are noted below:

The SAP financial statements of PICA do not consolidate its subsidiaries. The equity value of its

subsidiaries are recorded as preferred stock, common stock and other invested assets.

Under SAP, policy acquisition costs, such as commissions, and other costs incurred in connection

with acquiring new business, are expensed when incurred; under GAAP, such costs are deferred

and amortized either over the expected lives of the contracts or based on the level and timing of

either gross margins, gross profits or gross premiums, depending on the type of contract.

Under SAP, CRVM is used for the majority of individual insurance reserves; under GAAP, individual

insurance policyholder liabilities for traditional forms of insurance are generally established using

the net level premium method. For interest-sensitive policies, a liability for policyholder account

balances is established under GAAP based on the contract value that has accrued to the benefit of

the policyholder. Policy valuation assumptions used in the estimation of policyholder liabilities

are generally prescribed under SAP; under GAAP, policy valuation assumptions are based upon

best estimates as of the date the policy is issued, with provisions for the risk of adverse deviation.

Under SAP, CARVM is used for the majority of individual deferred annuity reserves; under GAAP,

individual deferred annuity policyholder liabilities are generally equal to the contract value that

has accrued to the benefit of the policyholder, in addition to liabilities for certain guarantees under

variable annuity contracts.

Under SAP, reinsurance reserve credits taken by ceding entities as a result of reinsurance contracts

are netted against the ceding entity’s policy and claim reserves and unpaid claims; under GAAP,

reinsurance recoverables are reported as assets.

Under SAP, IMR is established to capture realized investment gains and losses, net of tax, on the sale

of bonds and interest-related other-than-temporary impairment of bonds resulting from changes

2

in the general levels of interest rates, and is amortized into income over the remaining years to

expected maturity of the assets sold or impaired; under GAAP, no such reserve is required.

Under SAP, AVR based upon a formula prescribed by the NAIC is established as a liability to offset

potential non-interest related investment losses, and changes in the AVR are charged or credited

directly to surplus; under GAAP, no such reserve is required.

Under SAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks are generally carried at amortized cost; under

GAAP, investments in bonds and preferred stocks, other than those classified as held to maturity,

are carried at fair value.

Under SAP, certain assets designated as non-admitted are excluded from assets by a direct charge to

surplus; under GAAP, such assets are carried on the balance sheet with appropriate valuation

allowances.

Under SAP, surplus notes are recorded as a component of surplus; under GAAP, surplus notes are

recorded as debt.

Under SAP, an extraordinary distribution approved by PICA’s regulator may be recorded as a return

of capital; under GAAP, the distribution is recorded as a dividend when PICA has undistributed

retained earnings.

Under SAP, goodwill is subject to admissibility limits and is amortized over a period not to exceed

ten years; under GAAP, goodwill is subject to impairment testing and not amortized.

Under SAP, income tax expense is based upon taxes currently payable. Changes in deferred taxes are

generally reported in surplus and subject to admissibility limits; under GAAP, changes in deferred

taxes are generally recorded in income tax expense.

Under SAP, deposits to universal life contracts and immediate annuity contracts without life

contingencies are credited to revenue; under GAAP, such deposits are reported as increases to the

policyholder account balances.

Under SAP, certain contracts, in particular deferred annuities with mortality risk, are considered “life

contracts” and, accordingly, premiums associated with these contracts are reported as revenues.

Under GAAP, the Company’s deferred annuities are classified as either “insurance contracts” or

“investment contracts” and, accordingly, those annuities classified as investment contracts are not

reported as revenues. Amounts received for investment contracts are not reported as policy

liabilities and insurance reserves.

Under SAP, interest-related other-than-temporary impairments for bonds are determined based

primarily upon PICA’s intent to sell or inability to assert its intent and ability to hold the security

until recovery; under GAAP, other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities are based

primarily upon whether PICA intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required

to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.

Under SAP, there is no concept of value of business acquired ("VOBA"); under GAAP, VOBA is

recorded as an asset.

Under SAP, an embedded derivative instrument shall not be separated from the host contract and

accounted for separately as a derivative instrument; under GAAP, the accounting and bifurcation

for embedded derivatives follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815 - "Derivatives

and Hedging", with the change in fair value during each reporting period recorded within

“Realized investment gains (losses)."

Overview

PICA is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. The principal products and services of

PICA include individual life insurance and annuities, group insurance and pension and retirement products and

related services and administration. The results in the analysis below include the results of the Closed Block

division, which comprises the assets and related liabilities of the Closed Block. The principal executive offices

of PICA are located in Newark, New Jersey.

As of June 30, 2017, PICA's admitted assets were $261 billion (including $136 billion held in separate

accounts), compared to $260 billion (including $136 billion held in separate accounts) as of December 31, 2016.

Excluding separate accounts, assets were primarily comprised of a mix of bonds, mortgage loans, contract loans,

cash and short-term investments, other invested assets, and equity investments designed to match the cash flow

requirements of insurance liabilities.

Results of Operations

Net Income

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $463 million

compared to $1,662 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $1,199 million between

periods includes a $1,518 million decrease in operating income before income taxes, from $2,507 million for the

six months ended June 30, 2016 to $989 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which was primarily

driven by the following:

• A $1,659 million decrease in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by a dividend of

$2,594 million from PICA’s subsidiary, PLI, in the second quarter of 2016. This decrease was partially

offset by an increase in reserves in the prior year due to a reserve methodology change in conjunction

with a 2016 reinsurance transaction with an affiliate, PLNJ, in the annuities business, as well as lower

reserves in 2017 due to favorable market conditions; and

• A $12 million decrease in the corporate and other business primarily driven by higher compensation

related expenses;

Partially offset by:

• A $82 million increase in the retirement business primarily driven by higher spread income mainly due

to growth in the pension risk transfer business. Also contributing to the increase was higher income in

2017 from alternative investments. Partially offsetting these increases was a dividend of $147 million

from PICA’s subsidiary, PRIAC, in the second quarter of 2016 as well as higher compensation related

expenses in the current period;

• A $39 million increase in the group insurance business primarily driven by favorable underwriting

experience in the life and disability businesses. Additionally, spread income increased mainly due to an

increase in invested assets as a result of business growth; and

• A $32 million increase in the international insurance business primarily driven by the renewal business

assumed from PGFL partially offset by an increase in commissions as a result of growth of U.S. dollar

denominated business assumed from PLICJ.

The above decrease in net income was partially offset by a $198 million decrease in the income tax provision

from $433 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $235 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017,

which is further discussed below under “Income Tax Provision.”

4

Net income also included a $121 million decrease in net realized capital losses, from $412 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2016 to $291 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The components of net

realized capital losses are discussed below under “Capital (Losses)/Gains.”

Change in Statutory Capital and Surplus

For the six months ended June 30, 2017. Statutory capital (surplus plus AVR) increased $303 million, from

$13,445 million at December 31, 2016 to $13,748 million at June 30, 2017. The increase in capital for the period

ended June 30, 2017 was primarily driven by:

• A $749 million change in unrealized capital gains (excluding deferred tax) primarily due to gains from

affiliated common stocks, derivatives and other long-term invested assets. The change in net unrealized

capital gains is further discussed below under “Capital (Losses)/Gains”; and

• Net income of $463 million, as discussed above under “Net Income”;

Partially offset by:

• A $1,000 million dividend paid by PICA to its parent, PFI, during the second quarter of 2017. The

dividend is further discussed below under “Liquidity.”

Revenues

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Total revenues decreased $1,565 million from $16,304 million for the

six months ended June 30, 2016 to $14,739 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in total

revenues was primarily driven by a $2,670 million decrease in net investment income, which includes IMR

amortization, from $5,200 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $2,530 million for the six months

ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily driven by dividends from PICA’s subsidiaries, PLI and PRIAC

in the second quarter of 2016, as discussed above under “Net Income.” Additionally, contributing to the decrease

in total revenue was a decrease in other income of $149 million, from $845 million for the six months ended June

30, 2016 to $696 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in other income was primarily

driven by lower gains from separate accounts in the retirement business.

Partially offsetting these decreases in total revenues was an increase in premiums of $1,254 million, from

$10,259 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $11,513 million for the six months ended June 30,

2017. The increase in premiums was primarily driven by:

• A $1,586 million increase in the retirement business primarily due to a significant pension risk transfer

transaction completed in the second quarter of 2017 as well as an increase in separate account deposits.

There was no comparable pension risk transfer transaction during the first half of 2016; and

• A $303 million increase in the international insurance business driven by the reinsurance of PGFL and

PLICJ’s U.S. dollar denominated business as a result of business growth;

Partially offset by:

• A $615 million decrease in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by premiums initially

assumed as part of the reinsurance transaction with PLNJ in the annuities business in the second quarter

of 2016; and

5

• A $28 million decrease in the group insurance business primarily driven by premium returns related to

TOLI contracts, partially offset by higher sales in the life and disability businesses.

Benefits

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Total benefits, surrenders and fund withdrawals increased $1,062

million from $12,370 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $13,432 million for the six months ended

June 30, 2017. The increase in total benefits, surrenders and fund withdrawals was primarily driven by:

• A $692 million increase in the retirement business primarily driven by an increase in separate account

withdrawals as well as benefit payments related to the pension risk transfer business;

• A $303 million increase in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by higher assumed

surrenders and benefits in the annuities business as a result of the reinsurance transaction with PLNJ.

Also contributing to the increase were higher benefits in the life business driven by unfavorable mortality

experience;

• A $48 million increase in the international insurance business primarily due to higher assumed surrenders

and benefits from PGFL and PLICJ; and

• A $10 million increase in the group insurance business primarily driven by higher separate account

withdrawals between periods, partially offset by lower benefits due to favorable mortality experience.

Net Increase in Reserves

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Reserves increased $832 million for the six months ended June 30,

2017, compared to an increase of $3,158 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $2,326

million in the change in reserves between years was primarily due to the following:

• A $1,595 million decrease in the individual life and annuity business primarily driven by the reinsurance

transaction with PLNJ in the annuities business effective in the second quarter of 2016 as well as

favorable equity markets in 2017;

• A $773 million decrease in the retirement business primarily driven by favorable reserve experience

related to pension risk transfer business; and

• A $154 million decrease in the group insurance business primarily due to a repayment of a large policy

loan;

Partially offset by:

• A $205 million increase in the international insurance business due to an increase in assumed reserves

from the PGFL and PLICJ U.S. dollar denominated business.

Commissions

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Commissions decreased $279 million from $724 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2016 to $445 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily

driven by the initial ceding commission related to the reinsurance transaction in the annuities business with PLNJ

6

in the second quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting this decrease are higher commissions in the international

insurance business due to growth in U.S. dollar denominated business assumed from PLICJ and PGFL.

Other Expenses

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Other expenses decreased $189 million from $871 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2016 to $682 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease between

periods was primarily driven by lower expenses in the individual life and annuity business mainly due to

adjustments on reinsurance assumed related to reinsurance transactions with PLNJ and The Hartford Financial

Services Group. This increase was partially offset by an increase in the retirement and corporate and other

businesses primarily due to higher compensation related expenses.

Net Transfer From Separate Accounts

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. The net transfer from the separate accounts was ($1,666) million for

the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net transfer from the separate accounts of ($3,377) million for

the six months ended June 30, 2016. The $1,711 million change was primarily driven by the impact of a significant

pension risk transfer transaction in the retirement business completed in the second quarter of 2017. Also

contributing to the change in net transfers from separate accounts was the initial CARVM benefit in the annuities

business as a result of the reinsurance transaction with PLNJ during the second quarter of 2016. Furthermore,

there was a partial surrender in the group insurance business of a large TOLI contract during the first quarter of

2016.

Dividends to Policyholders

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Dividends to policyholders decreased $26 million from $51 million for

the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily driven by a

reclassification of premium refunds related to participating contracts in the group insurance business. Effective

in the first quarter of 2017, group insurance premium returns related to participating contracts which were

previously reported as dividends to policyholders are now recorded as a reduction of premiums in accordance

with SSAP 66 “Retrospectively rated contracts.”

Income Tax Provision

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. The income tax expense decreased $198 million from $433 million for

the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $235 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to the

decrease in pretax book income. The income tax provision is calculated in accordance with SSAP No. 101,

Income Taxes. For interim periods, income taxes are computed using an estimated annual effective tax rate. The

rate is computed as the ratio of projected income tax provision for the entire year over projected statutory net gain

from operations for the year.

2017 to 2016 Six Month Comparison. Net realized capital losses, after taxes and contribution to the IMR,

decreased $121 million, from $412 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $291 million for the six

months ended June 30, 2017. The following table sets forth the components of net realized capital losses:

Net realized capital losses……….…...……………….. $ (291) $ (412) $ 121

Net realized capital losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily driven by capital gains tax,

IMR transfers and losses on derivatives. For interim periods, the capital gains tax is derived as the difference

between the total tax and the income tax provision. The total tax is a function of pre-tax book income and the use

of the effective tax rate method. The IMR transfers of $54 million during the period were mainly driven by interest

related trading gains on derivatives due to net long treasury futures as a result of a decrease in interest rates during

the period. Derivative losses, excluded from IMR transfers, were $53 million and primarily driven by equity swap

settlements on short positions due to favorable equity market conditions. The gains on bonds of $3 million include

$39 million of other-than-temporary impairments.

Net realized capital losses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily driven by capital gains tax.

Additionally, realized capital losses on bonds were partially offset by gains on other assets related to short-term

investments and real estate. The IMR transfers of $26 million during the period were primarily driven by losses

on bonds and derivatives, partially offset by gains on short term investments. The losses on bonds in the first half

of 2016 of $111 million include $55 million of other-than-temporary impairments.

Change in net unrealized capital gains was $614 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The change

was mainly due to $301 million of affiliated common stock gains primarily driven by earnings from PICA’s

subsidiaries, PRIAC, COLICO and PLI. Additionally, unrealized gains reflect $222 million in derivatives gains

due net long interest rate swaps as a result of a decrease in interest rates during the period. Unrealized gains of

$48 million in other long-term invested assets also contributed to the change in unrealized capital gains.

Change in net unrealized capital losses was $1,040 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The

change was mainly due to $1,815 million of affiliated common stock unrealized losses which primarily reflect

dividends that were distributed in the second quarter of 2016 by PICA’s subsidiaries, PLI, PRIAC and PLIC.

Additionally, unrealized losses reflect $417 million in deferred taxes. Partially offsetting these losses was $1,185

million of gains from derivatives as a result of a decrease in interest rates during the period.

Investment Results

Summary of Investments

PICA's general account investment portfolio consists of public and private bonds, stocks, mortgage loans on

real estate, real estate, contract loans, and other invested assets such as joint ventures and limited partnerships.

The composition of PICA's portfolio reflects, within the discipline provided by its risk management approach, its

need for competitive results and the selection of diverse investment alternatives available primarily through its

asset management segment. The size of PICA's portfolio enables it to invest in asset classes that may be

unavailable to the typical investor.

The following table sets forth the composition of PICA's invested assets as of the dates indicated in accordance

with SAP.

The overall income yield on PICA's invested assets after investment expenses, but excluding net realized

investment gains (losses) and IMR amortization, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 was

4.32% and 9.37%, respectively. The decrease in the income yield was primarily due to the decrease in dividends

from PICA’s subsidiaries over the six months ended 2017. The following table sets forth the income yield and

investment income, excluding realized investment gains (losses) and IMR amortization, for each major investment

Bonds

PICA held approximately 66% and 65% of its invested general account assets in bonds as of June 30, 2017

and December 31, 2016, respectively. These securities included both publicly-traded and privately-placed debt

securities representing an array of industry categories.

PICA manages its public portfolio to a risk profile directed by the CIO Organization and Risk Management

groups and to a profile that also reflects the local market environment impacting its insurance portfolio. PICA

seeks to employ relative value analysis both in credit selection and in purchasing and selling securities. The return

that PICA earns on the portfolio is reflected both as investment income and also as realized gains or losses on

investments.

PICA uses privately-placed corporate debt securities and commercial mortgage loans, which consist of well-

underwritten mortgages on diversified properties in terms of geography, property type and borrowers, to enhance

yield on its portfolio and to improve the overall diversification of the portfolio. Private placements typically offer

enhanced yields due to an illiquidity premium and generally offer enhanced credit protection in the form of

covenants. PICA’s origination capability offers the opportunity to lead transactions and gives it the opportunity

for better terms, including covenants and call protection, and to take advantage of innovative deal structures.

Asset-Backed Securities

As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Industrial & miscellaneous (unaffiliated) carrying value

included approximately $0.3 billion ($0.4 billion fair value) and $0.4 billion ($0.4 billion fair value) of securities

collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, respectively. While there is no market standard definition, PICA defines

sub-prime mortgages as residential mortgages that are originated to weaker quality obligors as indicated by weaker

credit scores, as well as mortgages with higher loan-to-value ratios, or limited documentation.

(2) The tables above provide ratings as assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies as of June 30, 2017. (3) There were no agency commercial mortgage-backed securities included in the table above as of June 30, 2017.

The table above provides ratings assigned by nationally recognized rating agencies as of June 30, 2017,

including S&P, Moody’s and Fitch. In making its investment decisions, rather than relying solely on the rating

agencies’ evaluations, PICA assigns internal ratings to its asset-backed securities based upon its dedicated asset-

backed securities unit’s independent evaluation of the underlying collateral and securitization structure, including

any guarantees from monoline bond insurers.

The amortized cost of asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages decreased from $0.4

billion ($0.4 billion fair value) as of December 31, 2016, to $0.3 billion ($0.4 billion fair value) as of June 30,

2017, primarily reflecting sales and paydowns.

Bond Credit Quality

The SVO evaluates the investments of insurers for statutory reporting purposes and assigns bonds to one of

six categories called "NAIC Designations." In general, NAIC Designations of "1" highest quality or "2" high

quality include bonds considered investment grade, which include securities rated Baa3 or higher by Moody's or

BBB- or higher by S&P. NAIC Designations of "3" through "6" generally include bonds referred to as below

investment grade, which include securities rated Ba1 or lower by Moody's and BB+ or lower by S&P. The NAIC

Designations for commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities,

including PICA’s asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, are based on security level

expected losses as modeled by an independent third-party (engaged by the NAIC) and the statutory carrying value

of the security, including any purchase discounts or impairment charges previously recognized.

As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents, and the

completion of the SVO filing process, the bond portfolio generally includes securities that have not yet been

designated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date. Pending receipt of SVO designations, the categorization of

these securities by NAIC Designation is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.

12

The fair values of public bonds are based on quoted market prices or prices obtained from independent pricing

services. In order to validate reasonability, prices are obtained from multiple independent services where available

and are also reviewed by PICA’s internal asset managers through comparison with directly observed recent market

trades or comparison of all significant inputs used by the pricing service to our observations of those inputs in the

market. For investments in private bonds, this information is not available. For these private bonds, the fair value

is determined typically by using a discounted cash flow model, which relies upon the average of spread surveys

collected from private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions and takes

into account, among other factors, the credit quality of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private

bonds.

In determining the fair value of certain bonds, the discounted cash flow model may also use unobservable

inputs, which reflect PICA’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments of Bonds

PICA maintains separate monitoring processes for public and private bonds and creates watch lists to highlight

bonds that require special scrutiny and management. The public bond asset managers review on a quarterly basis

and more frequently when necessary to identify potential credit deterioration whether due to ratings downgrades,

unexpected price variances, and/or company or industry specific concerns.

For private placements, PICA’s credit and portfolio management processes help ensure prudent controls over

valuation and management. PICA has separate pricing and authorization processes to establish "checks and

balances" for new investments. PICA applies consistent standards of credit analysis and due diligence for all

transactions, whether they originate through its own in-house origination staff or through agents. PICA's regional

offices closely monitor the portfolios in their regions. PICA sets all valuation standards centrally, and assesses the

fair value of all investments quarterly. PICA’s private bond asset managers formally review all private bond

holdings on a quarterly basis or more frequently when necessary to identify potential credit deterioration whether

due to ratings downgrades, unexpected price variances, and/or company or industry specific concerns.

All bonds with unrealized losses are subject to review to identify other-than-temporary impairments in value.

In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, PICA considers several factors including, but

not limited to, the following:

• the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, currency or interest rate related, including general credit

spread widening);

• PICA's ability and intent to hold its investment for a period of time to allow for recovery of value;

• PICA's intent to sell its investment before recovery of the cost of the investment;

• the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer; and

• the extent and duration of the decline.

In determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, PICA places a greater emphasis on analysis

of the underlying credit versus the extent and duration of a decline in value. PICA’s credit analysis of an

investment includes determining whether the issuer is current on its contractual payments, evaluating whether it

is probable that PICA will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security,

and analyzing PICA’s overall ability to recover the carrying value of the investment. PICA continues to utilize

valuation declines as a potential indicator of credit deterioration, and applies additional levels of scrutiny in its

analysis as the severity and duration of the decline increases.

Under SSAP No. 43R, an other-than-temporary impairment occurs when the entity does not expect (on a

discounted basis) to recover the entire cost basis of a loan-backed or structured security. The amount of the other-

than-temporary impairment recognized as a realized loss equals the difference between the investment's cost basis

and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in

the debt security prior to impairment. The present value of cash flows expected to be collected becomes the new

cost basis of the investment. Additionally, if an entity wrote the security down to fair value due to the intent to

sell or because it does not have the ability and intent to hold a security in an unrealized loss position for a period

of time sufficient to recover the cost of the security, the non-interest related portion of the other-than-temporary

impairment losses is recorded through the AVR while the interest related other-than-temporary impairment losses

is recorded through the IMR.

Preferred Stock

PICA held less than 1% of its invested general account assets in preferred stock as of both June 30, 2017 and

December 31, 2016.

Common Stocks

PICA held approximately 6% and 5% of its invested general account assets in common stock as of June 30,

2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Substantially all of PICA's unaffiliated common stocks are publicly-

traded on national securities exchanges.

Impairments of Common Stocks

Common stocks with unrealized losses are subject to review to identify other-than-temporary impairments in

value. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, PICA consistently considers several

factors including, but not limited to, the following:

• the extent and the duration of the decline; including, but not limited to, the following general guidelines:

o declines in value greater than 20%, maintained for six months or greater;

o declines in value maintained for one year or greater; and

o declines in value greater than 50%.

• the reasons for the decline in value (credit event, currency or market fluctuation);

• PICA’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value,

including common stock managed by independent third parties where we do not have management

discretion; and

• the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer.

PICA generally recognizes other-than-temporary impairments for securities with declines in value greater

than 50% maintained for six months or greater or with any decline in value maintained for one year or greater. In

addition, in making its determinations PICA continues to analyze the financial condition and near-term prospects

of the issuer, including an assessment of the issuer’s capital position, and considers its ability and intent to hold

the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value.

When it has been determined that there is an other-than-temporary impairment, PICA records a write down

in its Statement of Operations and Changes in Capital and Surplus within "Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)"

to the estimated fair value, which reduces the cost basis. The new cost basis of an impaired security is not adjusted

for subsequent increases in estimated fair value. Estimated fair values for publicly traded common stock are based

on quoted market prices or prices obtained from independent pricing services. Estimated fair values for privately

traded common stock are determined using valuation and discounted cash flow models that require a substantial

level of judgment.

PICA originates mortgage loans on real estate using a dedicated investment staff through various regional

offices in the U.S. and International offices primarily in London. All loans are underwritten consistently to PICA's

standards using a proprietary quality rating system that has been developed from its experience in real estate and

mortgage lending.

PICA’s mortgage loans are geographically dispersed throughout the United States (with the largest

concentrations in California ($4.8 billion), Texas ($1.8 billion) and New York ($1.7 billion)) and include loans

secured by properties in Europe as of June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, PICA’s investments in mortgage loans had a weighted average debt service coverage

ratio of 2.38 times, and a weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 53%. Loan-to-value and debt service coverage

ratios are measures commonly used to assess the quality of mortgage loans. The loan-to-value ratio compares the

amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan, and is commonly expressed

as a percentage. A loan-to-value ratio less than 100% indicates an excess of collateral value over the loan amount.

Loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% indicate that the loan amount exceeds the collateral value. The debt service

coverage ratio compares a property’s net operating income to its debt service payments. Debt service coverage

ratios less than 1.0 times indicate that property operations do not generate enough income to cover the loan’s

current debt payments. A debt service coverage ratio greater than 1.0 times indicates an excess of net operating

income over the debt service payments.

The values utilized in calculating these loan-to-value ratios are developed as part of PICA’s periodic review

of the mortgage loan portfolio, which includes an internal evaluation of the underlying collateral value. PICA’s

periodic review also includes a quality re-rating process, whereby it updates the internal quality rating originally

assigned at underwriting based on the proprietary quality rating system mentioned above.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of PICA’s mortgage loans on real estate portfolio by year of

origination as of the date indicated.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate Quality

Ongoing review of the portfolio is performed and loans are placed on watch list status based on a predefined

set of criteria, where they are assigned to one of the following categories. PICA classifies loans as closely

monitored when it determines there is a collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential

loss of principal or interest. Loans not in good standing are those loans where PICA has concluded that there is a

high probability of loss of principal, such as when the loan is in the process of foreclosure or the borrower is in

bankruptcy. PICA’s workout and special servicing professionals manage the loans on the watch list. As described

below, in determining PICA’s allowance for losses, it evaluates each loan on the watch list to determine if it is

probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.

PICA establishes an allowance for losses to provide for the risk of credit losses inherent in the lending process.

The allowance includes loan-specific reserves for loans that are determined to be impaired as a result of PICA’s

loan review process. PICA defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it estimates it is probable that amounts

due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The loan specific loss allowance

is based on PICA’s assessment as to ultimate collectability of loan principal and interest. Valuation allowances

for an impaired loan are recorded based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s

effective interest rate or based on the fair value of the collateral less the estimated costs to obtain and sell. The

valuation allowance for mortgage loans can increase or decrease from period to period based on these factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash resources to meet the payment obligations of PICA.

Capital refers to the long term financial resources available to support the operations of PICA’s businesses, fund

business growth, and provide a cushion to withstand adverse circumstances. PICA’s ability to generate and

maintain sufficient liquidity and capital depends on the profitability of its businesses, general economic conditions

and its access to the capital markets including through its affiliates as described herein.

PICA's principal cash flow sources from insurance, annuities and guaranteed products are premiums and

annuity considerations, investment and fee income, and investment maturities and sales. PICA supplements these

cash inflows with financing activities. PICA’s cash outflow requirements principally relate to benefits, claims,

dividends paid to policyholders, and payments to contract holders in connection with surrenders, withdrawals and

net policy loan activity. Benefits include the payment of benefits under life insurance, annuity and guaranteed

products. PICA’s uses of cash also include commissions, general and administrative expenses, purchases of

investments, and debt service and repayments in connection with financing activities, as well as dividend

payments to its parent, PFI.

Some of PICA's products, such as guaranteed products offered to institutional customers, provide for payment

of accumulated funds to the contract holder at a specified maturity date unless the contract holder elects to roll

over the funds into another contract with PICA. PICA regularly monitors its liquidity requirements associated

with policyholder and contract holder obligations so that it can manage cash inflows to match anticipated cash

outflow requirements.

In addition, PICA has several subsidiaries that are subject to regulatory limitations on the payment of

dividends to PICA.

PICA is subject to regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends. New Jersey insurance law provides

that, except in the case of extraordinary dividends (as described below), all dividends or distributions paid by

PICA may be paid only from unassigned surplus, as determined pursuant to SAP, less unrealized capital gains

and revaluation of assets. PICA must give prior notification to the Commissioner of its intent to pay any dividend

or distribution. Also, if any dividend, together with other dividends or distributions made within the preceding

twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of the prior calendar year’s statutory surplus or (ii) the prior calendar

year’s statutory net gain from operations (excluding realized capital gains), the dividend is considered to be an

“extraordinary dividend” and the prior approval of the Commissioner is required for payment of the dividend.

Moreover, the Commissioner is authorized to disallow the payment of any dividend or distribution, even if the

dividend is not an “extraordinary dividend”, if it determines that PICA does not have a reasonable surplus as to

policyholders relative to its outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs or if it finds PICA to be in a

hazardous financial condition.

In June 2017, PICA paid an ordinary dividend of $1,000 million to its parent, PFI, which was approved by

the Commissioner in June 2017.

In June 2016, PICA paid a dividend of $900 million to its parent, PFI, of which $463 million was an

extraordinary dividend and $437 million was an ordinary dividend. Of the $900 million dividend, $542 million

was recorded as a return of capital and $358 million was recorded as dividend to stockholders. The extraordinary

dividend was approved by the Commissioner in May 2016.

In April 2016, PICA paid a dividend of $2,118 million to its parent, PFI, of which $1,513 million was an

extraordinary dividend and $605 million was an ordinary dividend. The dividend was recorded as dividend to

stockholders. The extraordinary dividend was approved by the Commissioner in April 2016.

20

Net cash provided by operations was $1,554 million and $2,330 million for the six months ended June 30,

2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The fluctuation between periods was primarily driven by an increase in

benefits and claims paid, partially offset by an increase in premiums.

Net cash (used in) investing activities was ($604) million and ($4,746) million for the six months ended June

30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The fluctuation between periods was principally driven by a decrease

in net investments in bonds. PICA’s cash flows from investment activities result from repayments of principal,

proceeds from maturities and sales of invested assets and investment income, net of amounts reinvested. The

primary liquidity risks with respect to these cash flows are the risk of default by debtors or bond insurers, PICA

counterparties’ willingness to extend repurchase and/or securities lending arrangements and market volatility.

PICA closely manages these risks through our credit risk management process and regular monitoring of our

liquidity position.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($1,603) million and $2,233 million for the six months

ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. The fluctuation between periods was principally driven by

a reduction in collateralization of derivatives between periods. Additionally, contributing to the change was a $1

billion dividend payment by PICA to PFI in the second quarter of 2017.

Included in operating activity above were contractually scheduled withdrawals and prepayments of general

account GICs totaling $3,110 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Because these contractual

withdrawals, as well as the level of surrenders experienced, were consistent with PICA's assumptions in asset

liability management, the associated cash outflows did not have an adverse impact on PICA’s overall liquidity.

PICA believes that cash flows from its insurance, annuity and guaranteed products operations are adequate to

satisfy the current liquidity requirements of these operations based on its current liability structure and considering

a variety of reasonably foreseeable stress scenarios. The continued adequacy of this liquidity will depend upon

factors including future securities market conditions, changes in interest rate levels, policyholder perceptions of

PICA's financial strength and the relative safety of competing products, each of which could lead to reduced cash

inflows or increased cash outflows. In addition, market volatility can impact the level of capital required to support

PICA’s businesses, particularly PICA’s annuity business.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, PICA had cash and short-term investments of approximately

$3.6 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, and investment grade bonds with a fair market value of $78 billion and

$75 billion, respectively.

Financing

PF, a wholly owned subsidiary of PICA, continues to serve as a source of financing for PICA and its

subsidiaries, as well as for other subsidiaries of PFI. PF operates under a support agreement with PICA whereby

PICA has agreed to maintain PF's positive tangible net worth at all times. PF borrows funds primarily through

the direct issuance of commercial paper. PF’s outstanding loans to other subsidiaries of PFI have declined over

time as it transitions into a financing company primarily for PICA and its remaining subsidiaries. As of June 30,

2017, PF had a tangible net worth of $21 million and short-term and long-term notes outstanding of $817 million

and $221 million, respectively.

PF maintains a commercial paper program with an authorized capacity of $7 billion. PF's outstanding

commercial paper was $817 million as of June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $292 million from December

31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the weighted average maturity of PF’s outstanding commercial paper was 26 days,

none of which was due overnight. As of June 30, 2017, the majority of these proceeds were utilized to fund short-

term cash flow timing mismatches and the working capital needs of PF’s affiliates, while the remainder was

primarily held in cash and cash equivalents. The daily average commercial paper outstanding for the six months

ended June 30, 2017 under this program was $1,013 million. The weighted average interest rates on these

21

borrowings were 0.82% and 0.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. PFI has issued

a subordinated guarantee covering PF’s commercial paper program.

In July 2017, PFI amended and restated its $4.0 billion five-year credit facility that has both PFI and PF as

borrowers and a syndicate of financial institutions as lenders, extending the term of the facility to July 2022.

Borrowings under this credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes, and PFI expects that it may

borrow under the facility from time to time to fund its working capital needs and those of its subsidiaries. In

addition, amounts under the credit facility may be drawn in the form of standby letters of credit that can be used

to meet the operating needs of PFI and its subsidiaries. The credit facility contains representations and warranties,

covenants and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, and borrowings under the facility are

not contingent on the borrowers’ credit ratings nor subject to material adverse change clauses. Borrowings under

the credit facility are conditioned on the continued satisfaction of customary conditions, including the maintenance

by PFI of consolidated net worth of at least $20.958 billion, which for this purpose is calculated as U.S. GAAP

equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), equity of noncontrolling interests and equity

attributable to the Closed Block. As of June 30, 2017, PFI was in compliance with the covenants under the credit

facility. As of June 30, 2017, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

PICA maintains a Funding Agreement Notes Issuance Program under which Delaware statutory trusts issue

medium-term notes and/or short-term commercial paper to investors that are secured by funding agreements

issued to the trusts by the Company. Under this program, the maximum authorized amount is $15 billion of

medium-term notes and $3 billion of commercial paper. The outstanding commercial paper and notes have fixed

or floating interest rates that range from 0.0% to 2.6% and original maturities ranging from twelve days to five

years. Under SAP, the medium-term notes and commercial paper are included, along with liabilities relating to

other funding agreements, in the line item “Policyholders’ account balances” and not in the line item “Notes

payable and other borrowings” on PICA’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and

Surplus.

As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such notes and

commercial paper totaled $4.1 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. Included in the amounts at June 30, 2017

and December 31, 2016 is the medium-term note liability, which is carried at amortized cost, of $3.2 billion and

$3.2 billion, respectively, and short-term note liability of $0.9 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively.

On September 13, 2016, a Delaware trust issued in a private placement $350 million in aggregate principal

amount of 1.450% Medium-Term Notes due September 13, 2019.

On June 27, 2016, a Delaware trust issued in a private placement $100 million in aggregate principal amount

of Floating Rate Medium-Term Notes due June 27, 2018.

On June 3, 2016, a Delaware trust issued in a private placement $500 million in aggregate principal amount

of 2.200% Medium-Term Notes due June 3, 2021.

PICA’s ability to issue new notes under this program will depend on market conditions. PICA intends to

repay the maturing notes and commercial paper through a combination of cash flows from asset maturities, asset

sales, and internal sources of funds such as PF.

PICA is a member of the FHLBNY. Membership allows PICA access to the FHLBNY’s financial services,

including the ability to obtain collateralized advances and to issue collateralized funding agreements. FHLBNY

borrowings and funding agreements are collateralized by qualifying mortgage-related assets or U.S. Treasury

securities, the fair value of which must be maintained at certain specified levels relative to outstanding borrowings.

FHLBNY membership requires PICA to own member stock and borrowings require the purchase of activity-based

stock in an amount equal to 4.5% of outstanding borrowings. Under FHLBNY guidelines, if PICA’s financial

strength ratings decline below A/A2/A Stable by S&P/Moody’s/Fitch, respectively, and the FHLBNY does not

receive written assurances from the NJDOBI regarding PICA’s solvency, new borrowings from the FHLBNY

22

would be limited to a term of 90 days or less. Currently there are no restrictions on the term of borrowings from

the FHLBNY. All FHLBNY stock purchased by PICA is classified as restricted general account investments

within “Other invested assets” and the carrying value of these investments was $80 million and $78 million as of

June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NJDOBI permits PICA to pledge collateral to the FHLBNY in an amount of up to 5% of its prior year-end

statutory net admitted assets, excluding separate account assets. Based on PICA’s statutory net admitted assets as

of December 31, 2016, the 5% limitation equates to a maximum amount of pledged assets of $6.2 billion and an

estimated maximum borrowing capacity (after taking into account required collateralization levels) of

approximately $5.3 billion of which $1 billion was outstanding. Nevertheless, FHLBNY borrowings are subject

to the FHLBNY’s discretion and to the availability of qualifying assets at PICA.

As of June 30, 2017, PICA had pledged assets with a fair value of $1.3 billion supporting outstanding funding

agreements totaling $1.0 billion, which are included in “Policyholders’ account balances.” The fair value of

qualifying assets that were available to PICA, but not pledged, amounted to $6.0 billion as of June 30, 2017. PICA

had no other advances outstanding under the FHLBNY facility as of June 30, 2017.

PRIAC is a member of the FHLBB. Membership allows PRIAC access to collateralized advances. PRIAC’s

membership in FHLBB requires the ownership of member stock and borrowings from FHLBB require the

purchase of FHLBB activity-based stock in an amount between 3.0% and 4.5% of outstanding borrowings,

depending on the maturity date of the obligation. As of June 30, 2017, PRIAC had no advances outstanding under

the FHLBB facility. All FHLBB stock purchased by PRIAC is classified as restricted general account investments

within " Other invested assets" and the carrying value of these investments was $9 million and $10 million as of

June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Under Connecticut state insurance law, without the prior consent of the Connecticut Insurance Department,

the amount of assets insurers may pledge to secure debt obligations is limited to the lesser of 5% of prior-year

statutory admitted assets or 25% of prior-year statutory surplus, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity for

PRIAC under the FHLBB facility of approximately $0.2 billion as of June 30, 2017.

Non-Insurance Contractual Obligations

The following table presents PICA's contractual cash flow commitments on notes payable and other

borrowings and surplus notes, excluding interest payable, as of June 30, 2017. This table does not reflect PICA's

and $182 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. PICA had accrued interest of $1 million outstanding

as of June 30, 2017.

23

(2) The amounts for surplus notes represent the aggregate principal amounts. The amount reported in the capital and surplus section

of the statutory financial statements represents the current statement value.

In addition to the amounts shown above, PICA is a party to operating leases for which its future minimum

lease payments under non-cancelable leases were $360 million and $341 million as of June 30, 2017 and

December 31, 2016, respectively.

During the normal course of its business, PICA utilizes financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit

risk such as commitments and financial guarantees. Commitments primarily include commitments to fund

investments in private placement securities, limited partnerships and other investments, as well as commitments

to originate mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these commitments were $4,544 million

and $4,636 million, respectively.

Certain contracts underwritten by the Retirement business include guarantees related to financial assets owned

by the guaranteed party. These contracts are accounted for as derivatives, at fair value. As of June 30, 2017, these

contracts in force carried a total guaranteed value of $77 billion. These guarantees are supported by collateral that

is not reflected on PICA’s balance sheet. This collateral had a fair value of $78 billion as of June 30, 2017.

Contingencies

PICA has entered into reinsurance agreements with PLICJ, PGFL, PLICK, and other foreign entities, all of

which are affiliates of PICA. In each case, PICA has agreed to reinsure certain individual life insurance policies

through excess risk term contracts. Furthermore, PICA has agreed to co-insure U.S. dollar-denominated policies

sold by PLICJ and PGFL. For these reinsurance policies assumed, PICA has retroceded a portion of these risks

to affiliated companies.

PICA has committed to repurchase securities under master repurchase agreements in the amount of $4,764

million and holds cash collateral for loaned securities of $1,650 million as of June 30, 2017. PICA conducts asset-

based or secured financing, including transactions such as securities lending, repurchase agreements and mortgage

dollar rolls, to earn spread income, to borrow funds, or to facilitate trading activity. These programs are primarily

driven by portfolio holdings of securities that are lendable based on counterparty demand for these securities in

the marketplace. The collateral received in connection with these programs is primarily used to purchase securities

in PICA’s short-term spread portfolios. Investments held in the short-term spread portfolio include cash and cash

equivalents, short-term investments, mortgage loans and fixed maturities, including mortgage- and asset-backed

securities, with a weighted average life at time of purchase by the short-term portfolios of four years or less.

Floating rate assets comprise the majority of our short-term spread portfolio. These short-term portfolios are

subject to specific investment policy statements, which among other things, do not allow for significant

asset/liability interest rate duration mismatch.

Capital

The Risk Based Capital, or RBC, ratio is the primary measure by which PICA evaluates its capital adequacy.

PICA’s RBC ratio is managed to a level consistent with a “AA” ratings objective; however, ratings agencies take

into account a variety of factors in assigning ratings to PICA. RBC is determined by statutory formulas that

consider risks related to the type and quality of the invested assets, insurance-related risks associated with an

insurer’s products, interest rate risks and general business risks. The RBC ratio calculations are intended to assist

insurance regulators in measuring the adequacy of an insurer’s statutory capitalization. PICA reported an RBC

ratio of 457% as of December 31, 2016, which exceeds the minimum levels required by applicable insurance

regulations. The level of statutory capital of PICA can be materially impacted by interest rate and equity market

fluctuations, changes in the values of derivatives, the level of impairments recorded, and credit quality migration

of the investment portfolio, among other items. Further, a recapture of business subject to reinsurance

24

arrangements due to defaults by, or credit quality migration affecting, the reinsurers could result in higher required

statutory capital levels. The level of statutory capital of PICA is also affected by statutory accounting rules, which

are subject to change by insurance regulators. The inclusion of RBC measures is intended solely for the

information of investors and is not intended for the purpose of ranking any insurance company or for use in

connection with any marketing, advertising or promotional activities.

PICA employs a “Capital Protection Framework” to ensure that sufficient capital resources are available to

maintain adequate capitalization and competitive RBC ratio and solvency margins under various stress scenarios.

The Capital Protection Framework incorporates the potential impacts from market related stresses, including

equity markets, real estate, interest rates, credit losses, and foreign currency exchange rates. In evaluating these

potential impacts, the Company assesses risk holistically at the enterprise level, recognizing that its business mix

may produce results that partially offset on a net basis. The Capital Protection Framework accommodates periodic

volatility within ranges that we deem acceptable, while also providing for potential sources of capital, including

on-balance sheet capital, derivatives, reinsurance and contingent sources of capital. We believe we currently have

access to sufficient resources to maintain adequate capitalization and competitive RBC ratios and solvency

margins under a range of potential stress scenarios.

Ratings Developments

Ratings

Financial strength ratings (which are sometimes referred to as “claims-paying” ratings) and credit ratings are

important factors affecting public confidence in an insurer and its competitive position in marketing products.

PICA’s credit ratings are also important for its ability to raise capital through the issuance of debt and for the cost

of such financing. Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations continually review the financial

performance and financial condition of the entities they rate, including PICA and its rated affiliates.

A downgrade in the credit or financial strength ratings of PICA or its rated affiliates could potentially, among

other things, limit PICA’s ability to market products, reduce its competitiveness, increase the number or value of

policy surrenders and withdrawals, increase borrowing costs and potentially make it more difficult to borrow

funds, adversely affect the availability of financial guarantees, such as letters of credit, cause additional collateral

requirements or other required payments under certain agreements, allow counterparties to terminate derivative

agreements and/or hurt PICA’s relationships with creditors, distributors or trading counterparties, thereby

potentially negatively affecting its profitability, liquidity and/or capital. In addition, PICA considers its own risk

of non-performance in determining the fair value of its liabilities. Therefore, changes in its credit or financial

strength ratings may affect the fair value of its liabilities.

Financial strength ratings represent the opinions of rating agencies regarding the financial ability of an

insurance company to meet its obligations under an insurance policy. Credit ratings represent the opinions of

rating agencies regarding an entity’s ability to repay its indebtedness. The following table summarizes the

financial strength ratings for PICA as of June 30, 2017.

S&P(1) Moody's(2)

A.M.

Best(3) Fitch(4)

Financial Strength Ratings: AA- A1 A+ AA-

(1) S&P financial strength ratings for insurance companies range from “AAA (extremely strong)” to “D (default).” A rating of

AA- is the fourth highest of twenty-three rating categories.

(2) Moody's insurance financial strength ratings range from “Aaa (exceptional)” to “C (lowest).” A rating of A1 is the fifth

highest of twenty-one rating categories. Numeric modifiers are used to refer to the ranking within the group—with 1 being

the highest and 3 being the lowest. These modifiers are used to indicate relative strength within a category.

25

(3) A.M. Best financial strength ratings for insurance companies currently range from “A++ (superior)” to “S (suspended).” A

rating of A+ is the second highest of sixteen rating categories.

(4) Fitch financial strength ratings range from “AAA (exceptionally strong)” to “C (distressed).” A rating of AA- is the fourth

highest of nineteen rating categories.

The ratings set forth above reflect current opinions of each rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated

independently of any other rating. These ratings are reviewed periodically and may be changed at any time by

the rating agencies. As a result, there is no assurance that PICA will maintain its current ratings in the future.

Rating agencies use an “outlook” statement for both industry sectors and individual companies. For an

industry sector, a Stable outlook generally implies that over the next 12-18 months, the rating agency expects

ratings to remain unchanged among companies in the sector. This year, Moody’s and A.M. Best changed the

Rating Outlook on the U.S. life insurance industry to Negative from Stable. Fitch and S&P continued to keep the

life insurance industry on Stable outlook; however, Fitch revised its Sector Outlook for U.S. life insurers to

Negative. For a particular company, an outlook generally indicates a medium- or long-term trend (generally six

months to two years) in credit fundamentals, which if continued, may lead to a rating change. These indicators

are not necessarily a precursor of a rating change nor do they preclude a rating agency from changing a rating at

any time without notice. Currently, Fitch has all of the Company’s ratings on Positive outlook; A.M. Best,

Moody’s and S&P have all of PICA’s ratings on Stable outlook.

In May 2017, Fitch affirmed the Company’s ratings and revised the company outlook for Prudential Insurance

and certain other affiliated insurance companies from Negative to Stable. A rating agency company outlook

generally indicates a medium-or long-term trend (generally six months to two years) in credit fundamentals, which

if continued, may lead to a rating change. These indicators are not necessarily a precursor of a rating change nor

do they preclude a rating agency from changing a rating at any time without notice.

On November 15, 2016, Moody’s revised its Rating Outlook on the U.S. life insurance industry to Negative.

Moody’s outlook indicates their expectations for the fundamental credit conditions driving the U.S. life insurance

industry over the next 12-18 months. The change in the outlook is a result of increased pressure on life insurers’

sales, revenues and profitability due to persistent low interest rates and weak economic growth, together with

regulatory pressures on product distribution. The change in outlook back to Stable from Negative can occur with

a gradual, steady increase in long-term interest rates in 2017, underpinned by strong equity market levels and an

improvement in economic growth.

On December 7, 2016, A.M. Best revised its Rating Outlook on the U.S. life insurance industry to Negative.

The revision of the Rating Outlook to Negative reflects A.M. Best’s view that the industry is entering into a period

of increased volatility across both economic and regulatory fronts. A.M. Best’s outlook indicates that there is

uncertainty around the slow premium growth for life and other products, disruption from merger and acquisition

activity, and the industry’s historic slow incremental approach in the face of a rapidly changing landscape.

Requirements to post collateral or make other payments, as a result of ratings downgrades, under certain

agreements, including derivative agreements, can be satisfied in cash or by posting permissible securities held by

PICA and/or its affiliate subject to the agreements. In addition, a ratings downgrade by A.M. Best to "A-" for

PICA would require PICA to either post collateral or a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $1.5 billion,

based on the level of statutory reserves related to the variable annuity business acquired from Allstate Financial.

Management believes that the posting of such collateral would not be a material liquidity event for PICA.

In view of the difficulties experienced in recent years by many financial institutions, the rating agencies have

heightened the level of scrutiny that they apply to such institutions, have increased the frequency and scope of

their credit reviews, have requested additional information from the companies that they rate, and may adjust

upward the capital and other requirements employed in the rating agency models for maintenance of certain ratings

levels, such as the financial strength ratings currently held by PICA. In addition, actions PICA might take to access

26

third party financing or to realign its capital structure may in turn cause rating agencies to reevaluate PICA’s

ratings.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

PICA is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its businesses. Pending legal and

regulatory actions include proceedings relating to aspects of PICA’s businesses and operations that are specific to

it and proceedings that are typical of the businesses in which it operates, including in both cases businesses that

have been either divested or placed in wind-down status. Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf

of various alleged classes of complainants. In certain of these matters, the plaintiffs are seeking large and/or

indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages. The outcome of litigation or a regulatory

matter, and the amount or range of potential loss at any particular time, is often inherently uncertain. PICA

establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the

amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be

reasonably possible, but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established but

the matter, if material, is disclosed. PICA estimates that as of June 30, 2017, the aggregate range of reasonably

possible losses in excess of accruals established for those litigation and regulatory matters for which such an

estimate currently can be made is less than $250 million. Any estimate is not an indication of expected loss, if

any, or PICA’s maximum possible loss exposure on such matters. PICA reviews relevant information with respect

to its litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly and annual basis and updates its accruals, disclosures and

estimates of reasonably possible loss based on such reviews.

The following discussion of litigation and regulatory matters provides an update of those matters discussed in

PICA’s Offering Circular dated May 10, 2017 and should be read in conjunction with the complete descriptions

provided in the Offering Circular.

Rosen, et al. v. PRIAC, et al.

In March 2017, Plaintiff filed a voluntary notice of dismissal with prejudice as to Ferguson Enterprises, Inc.

and Capital Partners, LLC d/b/a Captrust Financial Advisors.

Bouder v. PFI

In August 2017, the Court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the parties’ class action

settlement.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) Trustee Litigation

PICA et al. v. Citibank N.A.

In April 2017, Citibank filed a motion for summary judgment in the federal court action. In June 2017, the

state court issued a decision regarding Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint: (i) sustaining

Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims concerning Citibank’s pre-Event of Default obligations; (ii) dismissing

Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims concerning Citibank’s post-Event of Default obligations; (iii) sustaining

Plaintiffs’ implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing claim; (iv) dismissing Plaintiffs’ claim for breach of

fiduciary duty; and (v) dismissing Plaintiffs’ claim for breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest. In July 2017,

Citibank filed an appeal to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department, from the

June 2017 decision denying, in part, its motion to dismiss.

27

PICA et al. v. Deutsche Bank, et al.

In February 2017, the Court issued a decision regarding Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended

complaint: (i) sustaining Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims concerning the failure to remedy known servicing

violations as to all sixty two trusts at issue; (ii) sustaining Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims concerning the

failure to enforce seller representation and warranty claims as to forty one trusts, and dismissing such claims as to

the remaining twenty one trusts; (iii) dismissing Plaintiffs’ claim for breach of fiduciary duty; and (iv) dismissing

Plaintiffs’ claim for breach of duty to avoid conflicts of interest.

PICA et al. v. HSBC, et al.

In January 2017, Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking class certification and appointing class representatives and

class counsel.

PICA et al. v. Wells Fargo Bank, et al.

In March 2017, the federal court issued an order concerning Defendant’s motion to dismiss as to the Indenture

trusts: (i) sustaining plaintiffs’ breach of contract claims; plaintiffs’ claims for violations of the Trust Indenture

Act of 1939; and plaintiffs’ claims for breach of the duty to avoid conflicts of interest; and (ii) dismissing plaintiffs’

claims for breach of fiduciary duty as duplicative of the sustained contract claims. In May 2017, Wells Fargo filed

a third-party complaint for contribution against PGIM, Inc., alleging that, in the event the Prudential Plaintiff

Funds prevail on their claims for damages against Wells Fargo, PGIM must contribute to the award due to PGIM’s

alleged breach of duties owed to the Funds in managing the Funds’ RMBS investments. In June 2017, Wells Fargo

filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in New York state court.

On an ongoing basis, PICA’s internal supervisory and control functions review the quality of sales, marketing

and other customer interface procedures and practices and may recommend modifications or enhancement. From

time to time, this review process results in the discovery of product administration, servicing or other errors,

including errors relating to the timing or amount of payments or contract values due to customers or other parties.

In certain cases, if appropriate, PICA may offer customers remediation and may incur charges, including the cost

of such remediation, administrative costs and regulatory fines.

Summary

PICA’s litigation and regulatory matters are subject to many uncertainties, and given their complexity and

scope, their outcome cannot be predicted. It is possible that PICA’s results of operations or cash flow in a

particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of pending

litigation and regulatory matters depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. In

light of the unpredictability of PICA’s litigation and regulatory matters, it is also possible that in certain cases an

ultimate unfavorable resolution of one or more pending litigation or regulatory matters could have a material

adverse effect on PICA’s financial position. Management believes, however, that, based on information currently

known to it, the ultimate outcome of all pending litigation and regulatory matters, after consideration of applicable

reserves and rights to indemnification is not likely to have a material adverse effect on PICA’s financial position.

Regulatory Developments

Fiduciary Rules

The U.S. Department of Labor’s (“DOL”) new fiduciary rules became applicable, in part, on June 9, 2017,

with certain additional provisions scheduled to become applicable on January 1, 2018. In connection with the

ongoing examination of the rules as directed by President Trump in February 2017, the DOL has issued a request

for information seeking public comment on the rules and a possible delay of the January 1, 2018 applicability

28

date. The Secretary of Labor has also stated that he will seek to engage with the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Commission (the “SEC”) on the rules and, in June 2017, the Chairman of the SEC issued a public statement

soliciting comments on the standard of conduct for investment advisers and broker-dealers when they provide

advice to retail investors. In addition, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) has formed

an Annuity Suitability Working Group which is considering the development of enhanced standards for the sale

of annuities. PICA cannot predict what impact these developments will have on the rules or the standard of

conduct applicable to some of its businesses.

Regulation as a Designated Financial Company

Presidential Memorandum Regarding the Financial Stability Oversight Council—In April 2017, President

Trump issued a memorandum directing the Secretary of the Treasury, among other things, to conduct a review of

the Financial Stability Oversight Council's (the “Council”) process for designating non-bank financial companies

(“Designated Financial Companies”) for supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve

System (the “FRB”) and to report conclusions to the President within 180 days regarding issues raised in the

memorandum, and recommendations for process improvements, including necessary legislative changes. PICA

cannot predict what impact the review will ultimately have on the designation process or PICA.

The Financial CHOICE Act—In June 2017, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Financial CHOICE

Act, which would amend certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

(“Dodd-Frank”), including the authority of the Council to designate non-bank financial companies for FRB

supervision. PICA cannot predict whether this or other legislation impacting Dodd-Frank will ultimately be passed

into law, or how such legislation will impact PICA.

Resolution Planning—In July 2017, the FRB and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced that

for Designated Financial Companies the next resolution plan filing deadline will be delayed from December 31,

2017 to December 31, 2018.

“Risk Factors” in the Offering Circular dated May 10, 2017, relating to the $15,000,000,000 Global Medium

Term Note Program of PRICOA Global Funding I.

THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

1. BUSINESS

The Prudential Insurance Company of America (the “Company”, “Prudential Insurance”

or “PICA”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential

Financial”). The principal products and services of PICA include individual life insurance

and annuities, group insurance and pension and retirement products and related services

and administration.

Through March 31, 2016, the Company reinsured the majority of its variable annuity living

benefit guarantees to an affiliated reinsurance company, Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. (“Pruco

Re”). Effective April 1, 2016, the Company recaptured the risks related to its variable

annuity living benefit riders that were previously reinsured to Pruco Re. In addition, the

Company reinsured variable annuity base contracts, along with the living benefit riders,

from Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("PLNJ"). This reinsurance agreement

covers new and in force business and excludes business reinsured externally. The product

risks related to the reinsured business are being managed within the Company. In addition,

the living benefit hedging program related to the reinsured living benefit riders is managed

within the Company.

For the coinsurance component of the reinsurance agreement with PLNJ, the Company

received invested assets of approximately $0.7 billion and established reserves of $0.7

billion. For the Modified coinsurance (“Modco”) component of the reinsurance agreement,

the initial Modco transactions were reported on a net basis on the Statement of Operations

and Changes in Capital and Surplus for both the ceding and assuming companies. The

Modco reserve balance on the effective date of this new reinsurance agreement was $8.4

billion.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRINCIPLES

The Company, domiciled in the state of New Jersey, prepares its statutory financial

statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New

Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “Department”). Prescribed statutory

accounting practices (“SAP”) include publications of the National Association of Insurance

Commissioners (“NAIC”), state laws, regulations and general administrative rules.

Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not so

prescribed. NAIC SAP reporting differs from generally accepted accounting principles in

the United States of America (“GAAP”). NAIC SAP is designed to address the concerns

of regulators. GAAP is designed to meet the varying needs of the different users of

financial statements. NAIC SAP is considered to be more conservative than GAAP in

certain respects and attempts to determine at the financial statement date an insurer’s ability

to pay claims in the future. GAAP, on the other hand, stresses measurement of emerging

earnings of a business from period to period, by matching revenue to expense.

Management has assessed the non-insurance entities subject to SSAP No. 97, “Investments

in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities”, and, based upon the amount of capital

that these entities represent and PICA’s strong capital position, management has decided

not to obtain GAAP audits for 22 entities as of June 30, 2017. Management has therefore

valued these entities for purposes of its financial statements at zero. At the end of future

fiscal years, management may decide to obtain U.S. GAAP audits for entities subject to

36

SSAP No. 97 and thereby restore their equity value for purposes of inclusion in capital and

surplus.
