Letter to Planholders |
• | DEAR PLANHOLDER |
The U.S. stock market slowed in 2004 following a particularly strong performance in 2003. Some investors still seem to be watching developments from the sidelines. This reaction is understandable, given the unsettled global political climate and the potential for rising short-term interest rates. However, too much time on the sidelines can make it difficult to achieve long-term goals. We recommend a different approach.
A broadly diversified portfolio through asset allocation can help you better manage downside risk by avoiding overexposure to any specific asset class. And this strategy may better position your investments to capture more upside performance as asset classes rotate in and out of favor.
Your investment professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that takes into account your reasons for investing, the time you have to reach your goals, and the amount of risk you feel comfortable assuming. With the proper asset allocation in your portfolio, it will be easier for you to stay focused on achieving your long-term goals.
Prudential is committed to providing you with the financial solutions to help you grow and protect your wealth. We thank you for your confidence in our products and look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely, | ||
David R. Odenath, Jr. | ||

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUDENTIAL’S GIBRALTAR FUND, INC.
(unaudited)
General |
Prudential’s Gibraltar Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 14, 1968 and was reincorporated in the State of Maryland effective May 1, 1997. It is registered as an open-end, diversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The investment objective of the fund is growth of capital to the extent compatible with a concern for preservation of principal by investing in common stocks and other securities convertible into common stock. The Fund was organized by The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) to serve as the investment medium for the variable contract accounts of The Prudential Financial Security Program (“FSP”). The Fund does not sell its shares to the public. The accounts will redeem shares of the Fund to the extent necessary to provide benefits under the contracts or for such other purposes as may be consistent with the contracts.
Note 1: | Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Securities traded on a securities exchange and are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded via Nasdaq are valued at the official closing price as provided by Nasdaq. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Securities for which quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures.
Short-term securities which mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term securities which mature in more than sixty days are valued at current market quotations.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.
Custody Fee Credits: The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby uninvested monies earn credits which reduce the fees charged by the custodian. Such custody fee credits are presented as a reduction of gross expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.
Dividends and Distributions: The fund expects to pay dividends of net investment income semi-annually and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in-capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to it’s shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of receivable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
C1
Note 2: | Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has a management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”). Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a to a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). The subadvisory agreement provides that Jennison will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. PI pays for the services of Jennison, compensation of officers of the Fund, costs related to shareholder reporting, occupancy and certain clerical and administrative expenses of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.55 of 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Fund has a distribution agreement with Prudential Investment Series LLC (“PIMS”) which acts as distributor of the shares of the fund. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor of shares of the Fund.
PI, PICA, PIMS and Jennison are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc.
Note 3: | Portfolio Securities |
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 aggregated $86,611,005 and $96,782,802, respectively.
Note 4: | Tax Information |
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of June 30, 2003 were as follows:
Tax Basis | Appreciation | Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation | |||||||
$ | 192,848,596 | $ | 34,447,428 | $ | 2,586,533 | $ | 31,860,895 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis is attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward at December 31, 2003 of approximately $94,463,000 of which, $26,559,000 expires in 2009, $54,968,000 expires in 2010 and $12,936,000 expires in 2011. Accordingly, no capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward.
Note 5: | Change in Independent Auditors |
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was previously the independent auditors for the Fund. The decision to change the independent auditors was approved by the Audit Committee and by the Board of Trustees in a meeting held on September 2, 2003, resulting in KPMG LLP’s appointment as independent auditors of the Fund.
The reports of the financial statements of the Fund audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP through the year ended December 31, 2003 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope of accounting principles. There were no disagreements between the Fund and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures.
