In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts listed above comprising Separate Account VL I of Talcott Resolution Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year then ended (or for the period listed in the table above), the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (or for the period listed in the table above), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the period listed in the table above), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Account’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Account’s in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing
SA-3

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the mutual fund companies. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Sub-Accounts are invested in mutual funds (the “Funds”) of the same name. The Account may invest in one or more share classes of a fund. A contract owner's unitized performance correlates with the share class associated with the contract owner's product.

If a fund is subject to a merger by the fund manager, the Sub-Account invested in the surviving fund acquires the net assets of the Sub-Account associated with the merging fund on the date disclosed. These amounts are recorded at fair value and are reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as a net transfer and purchases and sales in Note 4. For the period ended December 31, 2020, the following transfers due to fund mergers were as follows:

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor Company’s other assets and liabilities and are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor Company may conduct.


2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The Account is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946-Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account, which are in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

a)    Security Transactions - Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on the sales of securities are computed using the average cost method. Dividend income is either accrued daily or as of the ex-dividend date depending on the Funds and are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds. Net realized gain distributions are accrued as of the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds. Net realized gain distributions represent those dividends from the Funds, which are characterized as capital gains under tax regulations.

b)    Unit Transactions - Unit transactions are executed based on the unit values calculated at the close of the business day.

c)    Federal Income Taxes - The operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of the Sponsor Company, which is taxed as an insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Sponsor Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to the contract owners. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Account for federal income taxes. The Sponsor Company will review periodically the status of this policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

d)    Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets resulting from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates contained within the financial statements are the fair value measurements.

e)    Mortality Risk - The mortality risk is fully borne by the Sponsor Company. In the event of a death, any contractual payments due in excess of the contract owner account value are the obligation of the Sponsor Company. The transfer of the existing contract owner account value is included in Death Benefits on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

f)    Fair Value Measurements - The Sub-Accounts’ investments are carried at fair value in the Account’s financial statements. The investments in shares of the Funds are valued at the December 31, 2020 closing

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

net asset value as determined by the appropriate fund manager. For financial instruments that are carried at fair value, a hierarchy is used to place the instruments into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) by prioritizing the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Account can access at the measurement date. Level 1 investments include mutual funds.

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than unadjusted quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3: Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment is used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2020, the Sub-Accounts invest in mutual funds that are carried at fair value and represent Level 1 investments under the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no Level 2 or Level 3 investments in the Sub-Accounts.

g)    Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions - The federal audits have been completed through 2013, the statute of limitations is closed through the 2016 tax year and the Sponsor Company is not currently under examination for any open years. Management evaluates whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required at December 31, 2020.

h) Novel Coronavirus - The impact of the outbreak and continuing spread of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") and the related disruption to the worldwide economy are affecting companies across all industries. Worldwide health emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus have caused severe disruption resulting in an economic slowdown. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 public health crises on the financial markets and overall economy are uncertain, as is the efficacy of government and central bank interventions. Additionally, we are unable to determine what, if any, actions our regulators may take in response to the COVID-19 public health crises and its impact on financial markets. At this time, the Sponsor Company is not able to reliably estimate the length and severity of the COVID-19 public health crises and, as such, cannot quantify its impact on the financial results, liquidity and capital resources of the Sponsor Company and its operations in future periods.

3.    Administration of the Account and Related Charges:
Each Sub-Account is charged certain fees, according to contract terms, as follows:

a)    Cost of Insurance - In accordance with terms of the contracts, the Sponsor Company makes deductions for costs of insurance charges ("COI"), which relate to the death benefit component of the contract. The COI is calculated based on several factors including age, gender, risk class, timing of premium payments, investment performance of the Sub-Account, the death benefit amount, fees and charges assessed and outstanding policy loans. Because a contract’s account value and death benefit may vary from month to month, the cost of insurance charge may also vary. These charges are deducted through the redemption of units from applicable contract owners’ accounts and are included on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

b)    Mortality and Expense Risk Charges - The Sponsor Company, as an issuer of variable life contracts, assesses mortality and expense risk charges for which it receives a maximum annual fee of 1.40% of the Sub-Account’s average daily net assets. These expenses are deducted through the redemption of units from applicable contract owners’ accounts and are reflected in cost of insurance and other fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

c)    Administrative Charges - The Sponsor Company provides administrative services to the Account and charges the Account a maximum annual rate of $30 or a maximum of $10 plus $0.03 per $1,000 of basic face amount, or $15 plus $0.05 per $1,000 of supplemental face amount at the policy issue date for these services. These charges are deducted through the redemption of units from applicable contract owners’ accounts and are reflected in cost of insurance and other fees on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

d)    Rider Charges - The Sponsor Company will charge an expense for various rider charges, which are deducted through the redemption of units from applicable contract owners’ accounts and are included in cost of insurance and other fees in the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The various rider charges are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
6.    Financial Highlights (continued):
*    This represents the annualized contract expenses of the Sub-Account for the period indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the Funds and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units. Where the expense ratio is the same for each unit value, it is presented in both the lowest and highest columns.
**    These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the Funds, net of management fees assessed by the Funds’ manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, if any, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Funds in which the Sub-Account invests. Where the investment income ratio is the same for each unit value, it is presented in both the lowest and highest columns.
***    This represents the total return for the period indicated and reflects a deduction only for expenses assessed through the daily unit value calculation. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Account. The total return is calculated for the period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.
#    Rounded units/unit fair values. Where only one unit value exists, it is presented in both the lowest and highest columns.

7. Subsequent Events:

On January 18, 2021, the Sponsor Company’s indirect owners, Hopmeadow Holdings GP LLC and Hopmeadow Holdings LP, entered into a definitive agreement to merge Hopmeadow Holdings LP with a subsidiary of Sixth Street, a leading global investment firm. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021.

Deloitte & Touche LLP City Place I, 33rd Floor 185 Asylum Street Hartford, CT 06103-3402 USA Tel: +1 860 725 3000 Fax: +1 860 725 3500 www.deloitte.com INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company (the "Company"), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Connecticut Insurance Department. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statutory-basis financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America As described in Note 2 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Connecticut Insurance Department, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the Connecticut Insurance Department.


 
The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory-basis of accounting described in Note 2 to the statutory-basis financial statements and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material. Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020. Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting In our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Connecticut Insurance Department as described in Note 2 to the statutory-basis financial statements. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 13 to the statutory-basis financial statements, on January 18, 2021, the Company’s indirect owners, Hopmeadow Holdings GP LLC and Hopmeadow Holdings LP, entered into a definitive agreement to merge Hopmeadow Holdings LP with a subsidiary of Sixth Street. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. If consummated, the merger would result in a change of ownership and control of the Company and its life and annuity operating subsidiaries. April 8, 2021

TALCOTT RESOLUTION LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES TO STATUTORY-BASIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020, 2019 AND 2018 1. Organization and Description of Business Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“TLA” or the “Company”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company ("TL"), which is a direct subsidiary of Talcott Resolution Life, Inc. ("TLI"). On May 31, 2018, Hartford Holdings, Inc. (“HHI”), an indirect parent company of the Company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of The Hartford, sold all of the issued and outstanding equity of Talcott Resolution Life, Inc. ("TLI") (formerly Hartford Life, Inc.), TL's parent, to a group of investors led by Cornell Capital LLC, Atlas Merchant Capital LLC, TRB Advisors LP, Global Atlantic Financial Group, Pine Brook and J. Safra Group. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the investor group formed Hopmeadow Holdings, LP, a limited partnership, that acquired TLI and its life and annuity insurance operating subsidiaries consisting primarily of TL and the Company. As part of the transaction, the Company has a new indirect parent company. In April 2018, the Company's direct parent, Hartford Life International Holding Company ("HLIHC"), was dissolved and the Company became a direct subsidiary of TL. The Company maintains a complete line of fixed and variable annuities, universal and traditional individual life insurance and benefit products such as disability insurance. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of TLA have been prepared in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by State of Connecticut Insurance Department ("the Department"). The Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining solvency under the State of Connecticut Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Connecticut. A difference prescribed by Connecticut state law allows the Company to receive a reinsurance reserve credit for a reinsurance treaty that provides for a limited right of unilateral cancellation by the reinsurer. Even if the Company did not obtain reinsurance reserve credit for this reinsurance treaty, the Company's risk-based capital would not have triggered a regulatory event. 7

NAIC SAP (5-6-7=8) 61 5 $ 578,016,692 $ 947,981,587 $ 1,087,185,096 The Company does not follow any other prescribed or permitted statutory accounting practices that have a material effect on statutory surplus, statutory net income or risk-based capital of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NAIC SAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include those used in determining the liability for aggregate reserves for life, accident and health, and fixed and variable annuity policies; evaluation of other-than-temporary impairments ("OTTI"); valuation of derivatives; and contingencies relating to corporate litigation and regulatory matters. Certain of these estimates are particularly sensitive to market conditions, and deterioration and/or volatility in the worldwide debt or equity markets could have a material impact on the statutory-basis financial statements. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts recorded are adequate. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year presentation. Accounting practices and procedures as prescribed or permitted by the Department are different in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The more significant differences are: 1. for statutory purposes, policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and selling expenses, etc.) and sales inducements are charged to expense when incurred rather than capitalized and amortized for GAAP purposes; 2. recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are generally recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying period of the contract and which for GAAP purposes, for universal life policies and investment products, generally only consist of charges assessed to policy account balances for cost of insurance, policy administration and surrenders. For GAAP, when policy charges received relate to coverage or services to be provided in the future, the charges are recognized as revenue on a pro-rata basis over the expected life and gross profit stream of the policy. Also, for GAAP purposes, premiums for traditional life insurance policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from policyholders; 3. development of liabilities for future benefits, which for statutory purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality assumptions prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), which may vary considerably from interest and mortality assumptions used under GAAP. Additionally for GAAP, reserves for guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”) are based on models that involve a range of scenarios and assumptions, including those regarding expected market rates of return and volatility, contract surrender rates and mortality 8


 
experience, and, reserves for guaranteed withdrawal benefits are considered embedded derivatives and reported at fair value; 4. exclusion of certain assets designated as nonadmitted assets from the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus for statutory purposes by directly charging surplus; 5. establishment of a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset Valuation Reserve (“AVR”)) for statutory purposes; as well as the deferral and amortization of realized gains and losses, caused by changes in interest rates during the period the asset is held, into income over the original life to maturity of the asset sold (Interest Maintenance Reserve (“IMR”)) for statutory purposes; whereas on a GAAP basis, no such formula reserve is required and realized gains and losses are recognized in the period the asset is sold; 6. the reporting of reserves and benefits, net of reinsurance ceded for statutory purposes; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are reported gross of reinsurance with reserve credits presented as recoverable assets, net of an allowance for expected credit losses: 7. for statutory purposes, investments in unaffiliated bonds, other than loan-backed and structured securities, rated in NAIC classes 1 through 5 are carried at amortized cost, and unaffiliated bonds, other than loan-backed and structured securities, rated in NAIC class 6 are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Loan-backed bonds and structured securities are carried at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 43 - Revised ("43R") (Loan-backed and Structured Securities). GAAP requires that fixed maturities and loan-backed and structured securities be classified as "held-to-maturity,” "available-for-sale" or "trading,” based on the Company's intentions with respect to the ultimate disposition of the security and its ability to affect those intentions. The Company's bonds and loan-backed securities were classified on a GAAP basis as "available-for-sale" and accordingly, these investments were reflected at fair value with the corresponding impact included as a separate component of Stockholder's Equity; 8. for statutory purposes, Separate Account liabilities are calculated using prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the market value of Separate Account assets, less applicable surrender charges. The Separate Account surplus generated by these reserving methods is recorded as an amount due to or from Separate Accounts on the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, with changes reflected in the Statements of Operations. On a GAAP basis, Separate Account assets and liabilities must meet specific conditions to qualify as a Separate Account asset or liability. Amounts reported for Separate Account assets and liabilities are based upon the fair value of the underlying assets; 9. the consolidation of financial statements for GAAP reporting, whereas statutory accounting requires standalone financial statements with earnings of subsidiaries reflected as changes in unrealized gains or losses in surplus; 10. deferred income taxes, which provide for statutory/tax temporary differences, are subject to limitation and are charged directly to surplus, whereas, GAAP would include GAAP/tax temporary differences recognized as a component of net income; 11. comprehensive income and its components are not presented in the statutory-basis financial statements; 12. for statutory purposes derivative instruments that qualify for hedging, replication, or income generation are accounted for in a manner consistent with the hedged item, cash instrument and covered asset, respectively, which is typically amortized cost. Derivative instruments held for other investment and risk management activities, which do not receive hedge accounting treatment, receive fair value accounting for statutory purposes and are recorded at fair value with corresponding changes in value reported in unrealized gains and losses within surplus. For GAAP, derivative instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in value reported in earnings, with the exception of cash flow hedges and net investment hedges of a foreign operation, which are carried at fair value with changes in value reported as a separate component of Stockholder’s Equity. 13. embedded derivatives for statutory accounting are not bifurcated from the host contract, whereas, GAAP accounting requires the embedded derivative to be bifurcated from the host instrument, accounted for and reported separately. 9


 
14. for statutory purposes securities that are in an unrealized loss position are reviewed to determine if an OTTI is present based on (a) the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than cost or amortized cost, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (c) whether the debtor is current on contractually obligated payments; if the decline is determined other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and the previous cost less impairment becomes the new cost basis. For GAAP, credit impairment is recognized through an allowance for credit losses as opposed to a direct write down of the security and improvements in expected cash flows are recognized immediately in income as a reduction in the allowance; the amount of time a security is in an unrealized loss position is not considered when assessing impairment. Aggregate Reserves for Life and Accident and Health Policies and Contracts and Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits were computed in accordance with applicable actuarial standards. Reserves for life insurance policies are generally based on the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables and various valuation rates ranging from 2.00% to 6.00%. Fixed Accumulation and On- benefit annuity reserves are based principally on individual and group annuity mortality tables at various rates ranging from 1.00% to 11.00% and using the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“CARVM”). Variable Annuity reserves are calculated based on Section 21 of the Valuation Manual Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Variable Annuities ("VM-21") and Actuarial Guidelines XLIII CARVM for Variable Annuities ("AG43"). Accident and health reserves are established using a two year preliminary term method and morbidity tables based primarily on Company experience. For non-interest sensitive ordinary life plans, the Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of insured. Return of the unearned portion of the final premium is governed by the terms of the contract. The Company does not have any forms for which the cash values are in excess of the legally computed reserve. Extra premiums are charged for substandard lives, in addition to the regular gross premiums for the true age. Mean reserves for traditional insurance products are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the true age, and adding one-half (1/2) of the extra premium charge for the year. For plans with explicit mortality charges, mean reserves are based on appropriate multiples of standard rates of mortality. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $12,464,067 and $11,141,055, respectively, of insurance in force, subject to 100% reinsurance to The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation set by the State of Connecticut. Reserves to cover the above insurance at December 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $104,426 and $140,561 respectively, also subject to 100% reinsurance to Prudential. The Company has established Separate Accounts to segregate the assets and liabilities of certain life insurance, pension and annuity contracts that must be segregated from the Company's General Account assets under the terms of its contracts. The assets consist primarily of marketable securities and are reported at fair value. Premiums, benefits and expenses relating to these contracts are reported in the Statements of Operations.

Combined Total ((6) and (10)) $ 6,114,131,020 Investments Investments in unaffiliated bonds, other than loan-backed and structured securities, rated in NAIC classes 1-5 are carried at amortized cost and unaffiliated bonds rated in NAIC class 6 are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Short-term investments include all investments whose maturities, at the time of acquisition, are one year or less and are stated at amortized cost. Money market mutual funds, which are included in cash equivalents, are reported at fair value. Unaffiliated common stocks are carried at fair value. Investments in stocks of subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated (“SCA”) companies are based on the net worth of the subsidiary in accordance with SSAP No. 97 (Investment in Subsidiary, Controlled, and Affiliated Entities, a replacement of SSAP No. 88). The change in the carrying value is recorded as a change in net unrealized capital gains (losses), a component of unassigned surplus. Unaffiliated preferred stocks are carried at cost, lower of cost or amortized cost, or fair value depending on the assigned credit rating and whether the preferred stock is redeemable or non-redeemable. Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at the outstanding principal balance, less any allowances for credit losses. Loan-backed bonds and structured securities are carried at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value in accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 43R. Significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions are accounted for using the prospective method, except for highly rated fixed rate securities, which use the retrospective method. The Company has ownership interests in joint ventures, investment partnerships and limited liability companies. The Company carries these interests based upon audited financial statements in accordance with SSAP No. 48 (Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies). Contract loans are carried at outstanding balances, which approximates fair value. Interest income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans on real estate is recognized when earned on the constant effective yield method based on estimated timing of cash flows. The amortization of premium and accretion of discount for fixed maturities also takes into consideration call and maturity dates that produce the lowest yield. For fixed rate securitized financial assets subject to prepayment risk, yields are recalculated and adjusted periodically to reflect historical and/or estimated future repayments using the retrospective method; however, if these investments are impaired, any yield adjustments are made using the prospective method. The Company has not elected under SSAP No. 43R to use the book value as of January 1, 1994 as the cost for applying the retrospective adjustment method to securities purchased prior to that date. Investment income on variable rate and interest only securities is determined using the prospective method. Prepayment fees on bonds and mortgage loans on real estate are recorded in net investment income when earned. Dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date. For partnership investments, income is earned when cash distributions of income are received. For impaired debt securities, the Company accretes the new cost basis to the estimated future cash flows over the expected remaining life of the security by prospectively adjusting the security’s yield. Due and accrued investment income amounts over 90 days past due are nonadmitted. There was no investment income due and accrued excluded from surplus at December 31, 2020 and 2019. Net realized gains and losses from investment sales represent the difference between the sales proceeds and the cost or amortized cost of the investment sold, determined on a specific identification basis. Net realized capital gains and losses also result from termination or settlement of derivative contracts that do not qualify, or are not designated, as a hedge for accounting purposes. Impairments are recognized within net realized capital losses when investment declines in value are deemed other- than-temporary. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are also recognized within net realized capital gains and losses. 14


 
The AVR is designed to provide a standardized reserving process for realized and unrealized losses due to default and equity risks associated with invested assets in accordance with SSAP No. 7 (Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve). The AVR balances were $134,693,701 and $128,507,852 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additionally, the IMR captures net realized capital gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, resulting from changes in interest rates and amortizes these gains or losses into income over the life of the bond, preferred stock or mortgage loan sold or adjusts the IMR when an insurer reinsures a block of its in-force liabilities. The IMR balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $101,434,239 and $86,725,788, respectively. The net capital gains captured in the IMR, net of taxes, in 2020, 2019 and 2018 were $23,547,563, $17,318,892 and $196,740,460, respectively. The amount of income amortized from the IMR, net of taxes, included in the Company’s Statements of Operations in 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $8,839,112, $4,762,176 and $11,798,898, respectively. Realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes, not included in the IMR are reported in the Statements of Operations. The Company’s accounting policy requires that a decline in the value of a bond or equity security below its cost or amortized cost basis be assessed to determine if the decline is other-than-temporary. In addition, for securities expected to be sold, an OTTI charge is recognized if the Company does not expect the fair value of a security to recover to its cost or amortized cost basis prior to the expected date of sale. The previous cost basis less the impairment becomes the new cost basis. The Company has a security monitoring process overseen by a committee of investment and accounting professionals that identifies securities that, due to certain characteristics, as described below, are subjected to an enhanced analysis on a quarterly basis. Securities that are in an unrealized loss position are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if an OTTI is present based on certain quantitative and qualitative factors. The primary factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value for securities not subject to SSAP No. 43R is other-than-temporary include: (a) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost or amortized cost, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (c) whether the debtor is current on contractually obligated payments. Once an impairment charge has been recorded, the Company continues to review the impaired securities for further OTTI on an ongoing basis. For securities that are not subject to SSAP No. 43R, if the decline in value of a bond or equity security is other-than-temporary, a charge is recorded in net realized capital losses equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. For certain securitized financial assets with contractual cash flows (including asset-backed securities), SSAP No. 43R requires the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security. If management determines that its best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield prior to the impairment are less than its amortized cost, then an OTTI charge is recognized equal to the difference between the amortized cost and the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield prior to the impairment. The Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield prior to the impairment becomes its new cost basis. Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with certain internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the underlying collateral. As a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Projections of expected future cash flows may change based upon new information regarding the performance of the underlying collateral. In addition, if the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold a security subject to the provisions of SSAP No. 43R until the recovery of value, the security is written down to fair value. Net realized capital losses resulting from write-downs for OTTI on corporate and asset-backed bonds were $4,753,109, $2,342,362, and $1,697,596 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net realized capital losses resulting from write-downs for OTTI on equities were $0 and immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. See additional information on OTTI in Section J of Note 3. Mortgage loans on real estate are considered to be impaired when management estimates that, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For mortgage loans on real estate that are determined to be impaired, a valuation allowance is established for the difference between the carrying amount and the Company’s share of the fair value of the collateral. Additionally, a loss contingency valuation allowance is established for estimated probable credit losses on certain homogenous groups of loans. Changes in valuation allowances are recorded in net unrealized capital gains and losses. Interest income on an impaired loan is accrued to the extent it is deemed collectable and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured terms. Interest 15


 
income on defaulted loans is recognized when received. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $0 and immaterial impaired mortgage loans on real estate with related allowances for credit losses, respectively. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with SSAP No. 86, Derivatives ("SSAP No. 86"). On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as hedging, replication, or held for other investment and/or risk management activities. The Company’s derivative transactions are permitted uses of derivatives under the derivative use plans required by the Department. Derivatives used in hedging relationships are accounted for in a manner consistent with the hedged item. Typically, cost paid or consideration received at inception of a contract is reported on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability, respectively. Periodic cash flows and accruals are recorded in a manner consistent with the hedged item. Derivatives used in replication relationships are accounted for in a manner consistent with the cash instrument and the replicated asset. Typically, cost paid or consideration received at inception of the contract is recorded on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability, respectively. Periodic cash flows and accruals of income/expense are recorded as a component of derivative net investment income. Upon termination of the derivative, any gain or loss is recognized as a derivative capital gain or loss. Derivatives used in income generation relationships are accounted for in a manner consistent with the associated covered asset. Typically, consideration received at inception of the contract is recorded on the balance sheet as a derivative liability. Periodic cash flows and accruals of income/expense are recorded as a component of derivative net investment income. Upon termination, any remaining derivative liability, along with any disposition payments are recorded as a derivative capital gain or loss. Derivatives held for other investment and/or risk management activities are reported at fair value in accordance with SSAP No. 86 and the changes in fair value are recorded in derivative unrealized gains and losses. Periodic cash flows and accruals of income/expense are recorded as components of derivative net investment income. Adoption of Accounting Standards In 2020, the NAIC adopted SSAP No. 108, Derivatives Hedging Variable Annuity Guarantees. This standard establishes statutory accounting principles to address certain limited derivative transactions hedging variable annuity guarantees subject to fluctuations as a result of interest rate sensitivity. It was effective January 1. 2020, and there was no impact upon adoption of this guidance. In 2019, the NAIC amended SSAP No. 101R - Income Taxes to reflect the impact of the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act along with clarification to certain admittance guidance for deferred tax assets. It was effective December 31, 2019, and there was no material impact to the Company. In 2019, the NAIC adopted revisions drafted by the Life Actuarial Task Force to Section 21 of the Valuation Manual Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Variable Annuities ("VM-21") and Actuarial Guideline XLIII CARVM for Variable Annuities ("AG 43") which provided comprehensive updates to the CARVM. The revisions adopted to VM-21 and AG 43 represented an accounting change that must be recognized as a change in valuation basis under SSAP No. 51R-Life contracts. They were effective January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted in 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company early adopted the valuation changes under AG 43. The impact of this valuation basis change is a decrease to Aggregate reserves for future benefits on the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus with a corresponding increase to surplus of approximately $57 million recorded through Change in reserve on account of change in valuation basis on the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus. . Recently Issued Accounting Standards In 2020, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP No. 86 – Derivatives to ensure reporting consistency for derivatives with financing components. The Company is adopting these revisions effective January 1, 2021 as required by the guidance. The revised guidance requires reporting derivatives gross of any amounts owed to/from the reporting entity from the acquisition or writing of the derivative (derivative premiums payable and receivable). Upon adoption, the Company will separately report derivative premiums payable and receivable as components of Receivables from 16


 
securities and Payables for securities reflecting amounts currently netted in Derivatives assets and Derivatives liabilities for derivatives which include financing components. In 2020, the NAIC revised SSAP No. 32 – Preferred Stock to update definitions, measurement, and impairment guidance for preferred stock. Adoption of this guidance will modify the measurement of the Company’s perpetual preferred stock with NAIC ratings 1-3 from amortized cost to fair value. This is effective January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted in 2020. The Company will adopt this guidance in 2021, and the impact is not expected to be material to the Company. Other Items The continuing impact of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the related disruption to the worldwide economy are affecting companies across all industries. Worldwide health emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus have caused severe disruption resulting in an economic slowdown. The duration and impact of the ongoing COVID-19 public health crises on the financial markets, overall economy and our operations are still uncertain, as is the efficacy of government and central bank interventions. Additionally, further actions regulators may take in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis could impact financial markets and our operations. At this time, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the length and severity of the COVID-19 public health crises and, as such, cannot fully quantify its impact on the financial results, liquidity and capital resources of the Company and its operations in future periods. The Company has reviewed COVID-19 related Interpretations from the Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group of the NAIC. These interpretations as well as relief granted to customers to date have not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 3. Investments a.

e. Investments - Derivative Instruments Overview The Company utilizes a variety of OTC derivatives, including OTC-cleared transactions, and exchange-traded derivative instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy. The types of instruments may include swaps, caps, floors, forwards, futures and options to achieve one of four Company-approved objectives: to hedge risk arising from interest rate, equity market, credit spread and issuer default, price or currency exchange rate risk or volatility; to manage liquidity; to control transaction costs; or to enter into replication transactions. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as hedging (fair value, cash flow, or net investment in a foreign operation), replication, or held for other investment and/or risk management activities, which primarily involves managing asset or liability related risks which do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86. The Company’s derivative transactions are used in strategies permitted under the derivative use plans required by the Department. Interest rate swaps, equity, and index swaps involve the periodic exchange of payments with other parties, at specified intervals, calculated using agreed upon rates or indices and notional principal amounts. Generally, no cash or principal payments are exchanged at the inception of the contract. Typically, at the time a swap is entered into, the cash flow streams exchanged by the counterparties are equal in value. Credit default swaps entitle one party to receive a periodic fee in exchange for an obligation to compensate the other party should a credit event occur on the part of the referenced issuer. Forward contracts are customized commitments that specify a rate of interest or currency exchange rate to be paid or received on an obligation beginning on a future start date and are typically settled in cash. Financial futures are standardized commitments to either purchase or sell designated financial instruments at a future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash or through delivery of the underlying instrument. Futures contracts trade on organized exchanges. Margin requirements for futures are met by pledging securities or cash, and changes in the futures’ contract values are settled daily in cash. Option contracts grant the purchaser, for a premium payment, the right to either purchase from or sell to the issuer a financial instrument at a specified price, within a specified period or on a stated date. Swaption contracts grant the purchaser, for a premium payment, the right to enter into an interest rate swap with the issuer on a specified future date. Foreign currency swaps exchange an initial principal amount in two currencies, agreeing to re-exchange the currencies at a future date, at an agreed upon exchange rate. There may also be a periodic exchange of payments at specified intervals calculated using agreed upon rates and exchanged principal amounts. The Company clears interest rate swap and certain credit default swap derivative transactions through central clearing houses. OTC-cleared derivatives require initial collateral at the inception of the trade in the form of cash or highly liquid collateral, such as U.S. Treasuries and government agency investments. Central clearing houses also require additional cash collateral as variation margin based on daily market value movements. In addition, OTC-cleared transactions include price alignment interest either received or paid on the variation margin, which is reflected in net investment income. 19


 
Strategies The notional value, fair value, and carrying value of derivative instruments used during the years 2020 and 2019 are disclosed in the table presented below. During the years 2020 and 2019, the Company did not transact in or hold any positions related to net investment hedges in a foreign operation or income generation transactions. The notional amounts of derivative contracts represent the basis upon which pay or receive amounts are calculated and are not reflective of credit risk. The fair value of derivative instruments are based upon widely accepted pricing valuation models which utilize independent third-party data as inputs or independent broker quotations. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the average fair values for derivatives held for other investment and/or risk management activities were $11,923,396 and $3,163,467, respectively. The Company did not have any unrealized gains or losses during 2020 and 2019 representing the component of the derivative instruments gain or loss from derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting.

The foreign fixed maturities and liabilities are hedged to minimize cash flow fluctuations due to changes in currency rates. Replication Transactions Interest rate swaps and swaptions: The Company enters into interest rate swaps and swaptions to manage duration between assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps to terminate existing swaps in hedging relationships, thereby offsetting the changes in value in the original swap. Other Investment and/or Risk Management Activities The table below presents realized capital gains and (losses) on derivative instruments used for other investment and/or risk management activities.

In addition, the Company may enter into credit default swaps to terminate existing swaps in hedging relationships, thereby offsetting the changes in value of the original swap. 20


 
Foreign currency swaps and forwards: The Company enters into foreign currency swaps and forwards to hedge the foreign currency exposures in certain of its foreign fixed maturity investments. Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefits (“GMWB”) hedging derivatives: The Company utilizes GMWB hedging derivatives as part of an actively managed program designed to hedge a portion of the capital market risk exposures of the non- reinsured GMWB riders due to changes in interest rates, equity market levels, and equity volatility. These derivatives include customized swaps, interest rates swaps and futures, and equity swaps, options and futures, on certain indices including the S&P 500 index, EAFE index and NASDAQ index. During 2020, the Company closed the dynamic hedging program as the targeted risk exposure was no longer significant. Any risks covered previously under the dynamic hedging program are now covered by the macro hedge program. Equity index swaps, options, and futures: The Company enters into equity index swaps and futures to hedge equity risk of equity common stock investments. The Company also enters into equity index options to economically hedge the equity risk associated with various equity indexed products. Interest rate swaps and swaptions: The Company enters into interest rate swaps and swaptions to manage duration between assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company may enter into interest rate swaps to terminate existing swaps in hedging relationships, thereby offsetting the changes in value in the original swap. Macro hedge program: The Company utilizes equity options, swaps, futures, and foreign currency options to hedge against a decline in the equity markets and the resulting statutory surplus and capital impact primarily arising from GMDB and GMWB obligations. Included are equity options with financing premiums for which the premium is paid at the end of the derivative contract. Credit Risk Assumed through Credit Derivatives The Company enters into credit default swaps that assume credit risk of a single entity or referenced index in order to synthetically replicate investment transactions that would be permissible under the Company's investment policies. The Company will receive periodic payments based on an agreed upon rate and notional amount and will only make a payment if there is a credit event. A credit event payment will typically be equal to the notional value of the swap contract less the value of the referenced security issuer’s debt obligation after the occurrence of the credit event. A credit event is generally defined as a default on contractually obligated interest or principal payments or bankruptcy of the referenced entity. The credit default swaps in which the Company assumes credit risk primarily reference investment grade single corporate issuers and baskets, which include standard diversified portfolios of corporate and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") issuers. The diversified portfolios of corporate issuers are established within sector concentration limits and may be divided into tranches that possess different credit ratings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not hold any credit derivatives that assume credit risk. The following table presents the notional amount, fair value, carrying value, weighted average years to maturity, underlying referenced credit obligation type and average credit ratings, and offsetting notional amount, fair value, and carrying value for credit derivatives in which the Company is assuming credit risk as of December 31, 2019: (Amounts in thousands) Underlying Referenced Credit Obligation(s) Credit Derivative type by derivative risk exposure Notional Amount [2] Fair Value Carrying Value Weighted Average Years to Maturity Type Average Credit Rating [1] Offsetting Notional Amount [3] Offsetting Fair Value [3] Offsetting Carrying Value [3] Single name credit default swaps Investment grade risk exposure $ 33,800 $ 339 $ 775 2 years Corporate Credit/ Foreign Gov.

[1] The average credit ratings are based on availability and the midpoint of the applicable ratings among Moody’s, S&P, Fitch, and Morningstar. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used. [2] Notional amount is equal to the maximum potential future loss amount. These derivatives are governed by agreements, clearing house rules, and applicable law which include collateral posting requirements. There is no specific collateral related to these contracts or recourse provisions included in the contracts to offset losses. [3] The Company has entered into offsetting credit default swaps to terminate certain existing credit default swaps, thereby offsetting the future changes in value of, or losses paid, related to the original swap. [4] Comprised of swaps of standard market indices of diversified portfolios of corporate and CMBS issuers referenced through credit default swaps. These swaps are subsequently valued based upon the observable standard market index. Credit Risk The Company’s derivative counterparty exposure policy establishes market-based credit limits, favors long-term financial stability and creditworthiness of the counterparty and typically requires credit enhancement/credit risk reducing agreements. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high quality counterparties primarily rated A or better, which are monitored and evaluated by the Company’s risk management team and reviewed by senior management. OTC-cleared transactions reduce risk due to their ability to require daily variation margin, monitor the Company's ability to request additional collateral in the event of a counterparty downgrade, and act as an independent valuation source. The Company has developed credit exposure thresholds which are based upon counterparty ratings. Credit exposures are measured using the market value of the derivatives, resulting in amounts owed to the Company by its counterparties or potential payment obligations from the Company to its counterparties. Credit exposures are generally quantified daily based on the prior business day’s market value and collateral is pledged to and held by, or on behalf of, the Company to the extent the current value of derivatives exceeds the contractual thresholds. In accordance with industry standards and the contractual agreements, collateral is typically settled on the next business day. The Company has exposure to credit risk for amounts below the exposure thresholds which are uncollateralized, as well as for market fluctuations that may occur between contractual settlement periods of collateral movements. Counterparty exposure thresholds are developed for each of the counterparties based upon their ratings. The maximum uncollateralized threshold for a derivative counterparty is $10 million. In addition, the Company monitors counterparty credit exposure on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with Company policies and statutory limitations. The Company also generally requires that OTC derivative contracts be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement which is structured by legal entity and by counterparty. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company had no losses on derivative instruments due to counterparty nonperformance. f. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company aims to maintain a diversified investment portfolio including issuer, sector and geographic stratification, where applicable, and has established certain exposure limits, diversification standards and review procedures to mitigate credit risk. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company is not exposed to any credit concentration risk of a single issuer, excluding U.S. government and certain U.S. government agencies, greater than 10% of the Company’s capital and surplus. 22

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to call or prepayment provisions. Asset-backed securities (“ABS”), including mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, (are distributed to maturity year based on the Company’s estimate of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining lives of the securities. These estimates are developed using prepayment speeds provided in broker consensus data. Such estimates are derived from prepayment speeds experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the applicable underlying collateral. Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates. Statement Estimated Maturity Value Fair Value Due in one year or less $ 529,384,254 $ 533,402,978 Due after one year through five years 1,191,249,209 1,238,908,854 Due after five years through ten years 1,030,374,710 1,183,284,978 Due after ten years 2,086,133,051 2,748,334,288 Total $ 4,837,141,224 $ 5,703,931,098 At December 31, 2020 and 2019, securities with a statement value of $4,144,462 and $4,144,366, respectively, were on deposit with government agencies as required by law in various jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business. h. Mortgage Loans on Real Estate The Company had a maximum and minimum lending rate of 4.77% and 3.00% for loans during 2020 and had a maximum and minimum lending rate of 5.72% and 3.20% during 2019. During 2020 and 2019, the Company did not reduce interest rates on any outstanding mortgage loans on real estate. For loans held as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the highest loan to value percentage of any one loan at the time of loan origination, exclusive of insured, guaranteed, purchase money mortgages or construction loans was 71.5% and 69.7%, respectively. There were no taxes, assessments or amounts advanced and not included in the mortgage loan total. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not hold mortgages with interest more than 180 days past due. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were $0 and immaterial amounts of impaired loans with $0 and immaterial related allowances for credit losses, and the interest income recognized during the period the loans were impaired was also $0 and immaterial, respectively. i. Restructured Debt in which the Company is a Creditor The Company had no recorded investments in restructered loans, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. j. Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies The Company has no investments in joint ventures, partnerships or limited liability companies that exceed 10% of admitted assets. The Company recognized OTTI of $15,018,180, $1,923,072 and $6,485,136 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, on certain limited partnerships and one state tax credit limited liability company (LLC). The partnerships were impaired because their cost basis sustained a decline in value that the Company determined to be other-than- temporary. The OTTI were determined as the difference between the fair value from the partnership financial statements and the carrying value of the investments based on the equity method of accounting. The state tax credit LLC was impaired because the Company recovered a portion of the cost of the investment through receipt of tax credits and other tax benefits and not through investment activity. The LLC OTTI was determined as the difference between the remaining expected future tax credits and other tax benefits expected to be received over the life of the investment and the carrying value of the investment. k. Repurchase Agreements and Other Collateral Transactions 24


 
From time to time, the Company enters into repurchase agreements to manage liquidity or to earn incremental spread income. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which one party (transferor) agrees to sell securities to another party (transferee) in return for cash (or securities), with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same securities at a specified price at a later date. A dollar roll is a type of repurchase transaction where a mortgage-backed security is sold with an agreement to repurchase substantially the same security at a specified time in the future. These transactions generally have a contractual maturity of 90 days or less. Therefore, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate fair value. Under repurchase agreements, the Company transfers collateral of U.S. government and government agency securities and receives cash. For the repurchase agreements, the Company obtains cash in an amount equal to at least 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred when necessary and provide the counterparty the right to sell or re-pledge the securities transferred. The cash received from the repurchase program is typically invested in short-term investments or bonds and is reported as an asset on the Company's Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. Repurchase agreements include master netting provisions that provide both counterparties the right to offset claims and apply securities held by them with respect of their obligations in the event of default. The Company accounts for the repurchase agreements as collateralized borrowings. The securities transferred under repurchase agreements are included in bonds, with the obligation to repurchase those securities recorded in other liabilities in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value and amortized cost of the US. goverment securities transferred were $162,067,181 and 110,202,238 respectively, with maturities greater than 3 years. The corresponding liability to repurchase was $158,756,325 with a contractual maturity less than one year as of December 31, 2020. The securities acquired from the use of the collateral in connection with the repurchase agreement transactions were short-term investments with amortized cost approximating fair value of $158,756,325 with a maturity date less than 360 as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no outstanding repurchase agreements. The Company also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements where the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same or substantially the same securities. The agreements require additional collateral to be transferred to the Company when necessary and the Company has the right to sell or re-pledge the securities received. The agreements have a contractual maturity of one year or less, and are accounted for as collateralized financing. The receivable for reverse repurchase agreements, included within Short-term investments on the Company's Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $8,529,737 and $2,955,307, respectively, with a fair value of $8,508,412 and $2,952,351, respectively. Reinvested proceeds from repurchase agreements transactions consist of short-term, high quality investments and U.S. government and government agency securities. These can be sold and used to meet collateral calls in a stress scenario. In addition, the liquidity resources of most of its general account investment portfolio are available to meet any potential cash demand when securities are returned to the Company. The potential impacts of repurchase agreements on the Company’s liquidity and capital position are stress tested monthly, under Talcott's Liquidity Risk Policy. The Company also enters into various collateral arrangements in connection with its derivative instruments, which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, securities pledged of $287,378,566 and $130,276,878, respectively, were included in Bonds and Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, on the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. The counterparties have the right to sell or re-pledge these securities. The Company also pledged cash collateral associated with derivative instruments with a statement value of $39,666,465 and $34,309,079, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in Other invested assets, on the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company accepted cash collateral associated with derivative instruments with a statement value of $93,719,979 and $170,792,087, respectively, which was invested and recorded in the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus in Bonds and Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with a corresponding amount recorded in Collateral on derivatives reported in Liabilities. The Company also accepted securities collateral as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $0 and $9,269,217, respectively, of which the Company has the ability to sell or repledge. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not repledge securities and did not sell any securities collateral. In addition, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, noncash collateral accepted was held in separate custodial accounts and was not included in the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. 25


 
l. Security Unrealized Loss Aging The Company has a security monitoring process overseen by a committee of investment and accounting professionals that, on a quarterly basis, identifies securities in an unrealized loss position that could potentially be other-than-temporarily impaired. For further discussion regarding the Company’s OTTI policy, see Note 2. Due to the issuers’ continued satisfaction of the securities’ obligations in accordance with their contractual terms and the expectation that they will continue to do so, as well as the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial condition and other objective evidence, the Company believes that the prices of the securities in the sectors identified in the tables below were temporarily depressed as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The following table presents amortized cost or statement value, fair value, and unrealized losses for the Company’s bond and equity securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, 2020 Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Amortized Unrealized Amortized Unrealized Amortized Unrealized (Amounts in thousands) Cost Fair Value Losses Cost Fair Value Losses Cost Fair Value Losses U.S. government and government agencies & authorities: Guaranteed & sponsored - excluding asset-backed $ 111,452 $ 105,938 $ (5,514) $ — $ — $ — $ 111,452 $ 105,938 $ (5,514) Guaranteed & sponsored - asset-backed 37,719 36,906 (813) 442 420 (22) 38,161 37,326 (835) All other corporate - excluding asset-backed 54,299 50,412 (3,887) 2,314 2,024 (290) 56,613 52,436 (4,177) All other corporate - asset-backed 150,376 145,745 (4,631) 99,044 98,213 (831) 249,420 243,958 (5,462) Short-term investments 17,558 17,534 (24) — — — 17,558 17,534 (24) Total fixed maturities 371,404 356,535 (14,869) 101,800 100,657 (1,143) 473,204 457,192 (16,012) Common stock-unaffiliated — — — 722 — (722) 722 — (722) Total stocks — — — 722 — (722) 722 — (722) Total securities $ 371,404 $ 356,535 $ (14,869) $ 102,522 $ 100,657 $ (1,865) $ 473,926 $ 457,192 $ (16,734) December 31, 2019 Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or More Total Amortized Unrealized Amortized Unrealized Amortized Unrealized (Amounts in thousands) Cost Fair Value Losses Cost Fair Value Losses Cost Fair Value Losses U.S. government and government agencies & authorities: Guaranteed & sponsored - excluding asset-backed $ — $ — $ — $ 3,189 $ 3,186 $ (3) $ 3,189 $ 3,186 $ (3) Guaranteed & sponsored - asset-backed 19,037 18,713 (324) 4,240 4,187 (53) 23,277 22,900 (377) States, municipalities & political subdivisions 7,805 7,787 (18) — — — 7,805 7,787 (18) International governments 1,914 1,904 (10) — — — 1,914 1,904 (10) All other corporate - excluding asset-backed 46,654 46,298 (356) 24,761 23,052 (1,709) 71,415 69,350 (2,065) All other corporate - asset-backed 115,474 114,787 (687) 140,534 139,049 (1,485) 256,008 253,836 (2,172) Short-term investments 88,116 88,075 (41) — — — 88,116 88,075 (41) Total fixed maturities 279,000 277,564 (1,436) 172,724 169,474 (3,250) 451,724 447,038 (4,686) Common stock-unaffiliated — — — 722 — (722) 722 — (722) Total stocks — — — 722 — (722) 722 — (722) Total securities $ 279,000 $ 277,564 $ (1,436) $ 173,446 $ 169,474 $ (3,972) $ 452,446 $ 447,038 $ (5,408) As of December 31, 2020, fixed maturities, comprised of 103 securities, accounted for approximately 96% of the Company’s total unrealized loss amount. The securities were primarily related to US. government agency securities, commercial mortgage- back securities, and corporate securities concentrated in the energy and transportation sectors. These sectors were depressed primarily due to an increase in interest rates and/or widening of credit spreads since the securities were purchased. As of December 31, 2020, 99% of the securities in an unrealized loss position were depressed less than 20% of amortized cost. The increase in fixed maturities unrealized losses during 2020 was primarily attributable to widening credit spreads on higher yielding corporate securities and asset-backed securities. Most of the securities depressed for twelve months or more primarily related to collateralized loan obligations and corporate securities concentrated in the energy sector. Collateralized loan obligations were primarily depressed because current market spreads are wider than spreads at the securities respective purchase dates. Corporate securities were depressed because of an 26


 
increase in interest rate and/or the securities have floating rate coupons and have long-dated maturities, and current credit spreads are wider than when these securities were purchased. As of December 31, 2020, the Company does not have an intention to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position, and for loan-backed and structured securities, has the intent and ability to hold these securities until values recover. Furthermore, based upon the Company’s cash flow modeling and the expected continuation of contractually required principal and interest payments, the Company has deemed these securities to be temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, fixed maturities, comprised of 145 securities, accounted for approximately 87% of the Company’s total unrealized loss amount. The securities were primarily related to collateralized debt obligations securities, corporate securities concentrated in the energy sector, and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These sectors were depressed primarily due to an increase in interest rates and/or widening of credit spreads since the securities were purchased. As of December 31, 2019, 99% of the securities in an unrealized loss position were depressed less than 20% of amortized cost. The decrease in unrealized losses during 2019 was primarily attributable to tighter credit spreads. m. Loan-backed and Structured Securities OTTI For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize losses for OTTI on loan-backed and structured securities due to the intent to sell impaired securities or due to the inability or lack of intent to retain an investment in a security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. n. 5GI Securities A 5GI is assigned by the NAIC Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) to certain obligations when an insurer certifies that the documentation necessary to permit a full credit analysis of a security does not exist, that the issuer or Obligator is current on all contracted interest and principal pay downs and that the insurer has the expectation of ultimate payment of all contracted payments. The 5GI securities for the Company are immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 4. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is determined based on the "exit price" notion which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Financial instruments carried at fair value in the Company’s financial statements include certain bonds, stocks, derivatives, and Separate Account assets. The Company's investment manager for the Company's general account (a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940), with oversight by the Company's Investment Management Department and its Finance and Investment Committee ("FIC"), a committee co-chaired by the Chief Investment Officer and the Chief Risk Officer of the Company, estimates the fair value for financial assets held in the Company's general account and guaranteed separate accounts based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The Company reviews its investment manager's pricing policy on a periodic basis, with any changes to be approved by the FIC. The Company reserves the right to take exception to its investment manager's pricing of a particular asset and, with FIC's approval, to adjust the price received from its investment manager for that particular asset. The Company estimates the fair value for financial liabilities based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad Levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability, or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain one or more significant unobservable inputs as there is little or no observable market for these assets and liabilities, considerable judgment is used to 27


 
determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges. In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability position may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Company's investment manager will determine the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. In most cases, both observable (e.g., changes in interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in risk assumptions) inputs are used in the determination of fair values that the Company's investment manager has classified within Level 3. Consequently, these values and the related gains and losses are based upon both observable and unobservable inputs. The Company’s bonds included in Level 3 are classified as such because these securities are primarily within illiquid markets and/or priced by independent brokers. The following table presents assets and (liabilities) carried at fair value by hierarchy level: As of December 31, 2020 (Amounts in thousands) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Net Asset Value (NAV) Total a.

Valuation Techniques, Procedures and Controls The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices where available and where prices represent reasonable estimates of fair value. The Company also determines fair values based on future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. Fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s default spreads, liquidity and, where appropriate, risk margins on unobservable parameters. The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values for the financial instruments listed in the preceding tables. The fair value process is monitored by the Valuation Committee of the Company's investment manager, which is a cross- functional group of senior management that meets at least quarterly. The purpose of the committee is to oversee the pricing policy and procedures by ensuring objective and reliable valuation practices and pricing of financial instruments as well as addressing valuation issues and approving changes to valuation methodologies and pricing sources. There are also two working groups under the Valuation Committee of the Company's investment manager, a Securities Valuation Group and a Derivatives Valuation Group, which include various investment, operations, accounting, compliance and risk management professionals that meet on a regular basis, to review market data trends, pricing and trading statistics and results, and any proposed pricing methodology changes. 29


 
In addition, the Finance and Investment Committee of the Company, co-chaired by its Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for the approval and monitoring of the Valuation Policy of the Company as well as the adjudication of any valuation disputes thereunder. The Valuation Policy addresses valuation of all financial instruments held in the general account and guaranteed separate accounts of the Company, including all derivative positions. The Finance and Investment Committee meets regularly, and its members include a cross-functional group of senior management as well as various investment, accounting, finance, and risk management professionals. Bonds and Stocks The fair value of bonds and stocks in an active and orderly market (e.g., not distressed or forced liquidation) are determined by the Company's investment manager using a "waterfall" approach after considering the following pricing sources: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities, prices from third-party pricing services, independent broker quotations, or internal matrix pricing processes. Typical inputs used by these pricing sources include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and/or estimated cash flows, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Most bonds do not trade daily. Based on the typical trading volumes and the lack of quoted market prices for bonds, third-party pricing services utilize matrix pricing to derive security prices. Matrix pricing relies on securities' relationships to other benchmark quoted securities, which trade more frequently. Pricing services utilize recently reported trades of identical or similar securities making adjustments through the reporting date based on the preceding outlined available market observable information. If there are no recently reported trades, the third-party pricing services may develop a security price using expected future cash flows based upon collateral performance and discounted at an estimated market rate. Both matrix pricing and discounted cash flow techniques develop prices by factoring in the time value for cash flows and risk, including liquidity and credit. Prices from third-party pricing services may be unavailable for securities that are rarely traded or are traded only in privately negotiated transactions. As a result, certain securities are priced via independent broker quotations which utilize inputs that may be difficult to corroborate with observable market based data. Additionally, the majority of these independent broker quotations are non-binding. The Company's investment manager utilizes an internally developed matrix pricing process for private placement securities for which the Company is unable to obtain a price from a third-party pricing service. The process is similar to the third-party pricing services. The Company's investment manager develops credit spreads each month using market based data for public securities adjusted for credit spread differentials between public and private securities which are obtained from a survey of multiple private placement brokers. The credit spreads determined through this survey approach are based upon the issuer’s financial strength and term to maturity, utilizing independent public security index and trade information and adjusting for the non-public nature of the securities. Credit spreads combined with risk-free rates are applied to contractual cash flows to develop a price. The Company's investment manager performs ongoing analyses of the prices and credit spreads received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. In addition, the Company's investment manager ensures that prices received from independent brokers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through the use of internal and external cash flow models utilizing spreads, and when available, market indices. As a result of these analyses, if the Company's investment manager determines that there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party is adjusted accordingly and approved by the Valuation Committee of the Company's investment manager. The Company's investment manager conducts other specific monitoring controls around pricing. Daily, weekly and monthly analyses identify price changes over pre-determined thresholds for bonds and equity securities. Monthly analyses identify prices that have not changed, and missing prices. Also, on a monthly basis, a second source validation is performed on most sectors. Analyses are conducted by a dedicated pricing unit that follows up with trading and investment sector professionals and challenges prices with vendors when the estimated assumptions used differs from what the Company's investment manager feels a market participant would use. Examples of other procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of third-party pricing services’ methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends and back testing recent trades. The Company's investment manager has analyzed the third-party pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs, and has also evaluated the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Most prices provided by third-party pricing services 30


 
are classified into Level 2 because the inputs used in pricing the securities are observable. Due to the lack of transparency in the process that brokers use to develop prices, most valuations that are based on brokers’ prices are classified as Level 3. Some valuations may be classified as Level 2 if the price can be corroborated with observable market data. Derivative Instruments Derivative instruments are fair valued using pricing valuation models for OTC derivatives that utilize independent market data inputs, quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives and OTC-cleared derivatives, or independent broker quotations. The Company performs ongoing analysis of the valuations, assumptions, and methodologies used to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. The Company performs various controls on derivative valuations which include both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Analyses are conducted by a cross-functional group of investment, actuarial, risk and information technology professionals that analyze impacts of changes in the market environment and investigate variances. There is a monthly analysis to identify market value changes greater than pre-defined thresholds, stale prices, missing prices and zero prices. Also on a monthly basis, a second source validation, typically to broker quotations, is performed for certain of the more complex derivatives and all new deals during the month. A model validation review is performed on any new models, which typically includes detailed documentation and validation to a second source. As to certain derivatives that are held by the Company as well as its investment manager's other clients, the Company's investment manager performs ongoing analysis of the valuations, assumptions, and methodologies used to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. On a daily basis, the Company's investment manager compares market valuations to counterparty valuations for all OTC derivatives held by the Company for collateral purposes. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instrument may not be classified with the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore the realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives reported in Level 3 may not reflect the offsetting impact of the realized and unrealized gains and losses of the associated assets and liabilities. Valuation Inputs for Investments For Level 1 investments, which are comprised of exchange-traded securities and open-ended mutual funds, valuations are based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. For the Company’s Level 2 and 3 bonds and stocks, typical inputs used by pricing techniques include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and/or estimated cash flows, prepayment speeds, and default rates. A description of additional inputs used in the Company’s Level 2 and Level 3 measurements is included in the following discussion: Level 2 The fair values of most of the Company’s Level 2 investments are determined by management after considering prices received from third-party pricing services. These investments include mostly bonds and preferred stocks. Asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities - Primary inputs also include monthly payment information, collateral performance, which varies by vintage year and includes delinquency rates, collateral valuation loss severity rates, collateral refinancing assumptions, and credit default swap indices. Commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities prices also include estimates of the rate of future principal prepayments over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment speeds previously experienced at the interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. All other corporate bonds, including surplus debentures - Primary inputs also include observations of credit default swap curves related to the issuer, and political events in emerging market economies where applicable. State, municipalities and political subdivisions - Primary inputs also include Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board reported trades notices, and issuer financial statements. 31


 
Credit derivatives - Primary inputs include the swap yield curve and credit default swap curves. Equity derivatives - Primary inputs include equity index levels. Foreign exchange derivatives - Primary inputs include the swap yield curve, currency spot and forward rates, and cross currency basis curves. Interest rate derivatives - Primary input is the swap yield curve. Level 3 Most of the Company’s securities classified as Level 3 include less liquid securities such as lower quality asset-backed securities, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities primarily backed by sub-prime loans. Also included in Level 3 are securities valued based on broker prices or broker spreads, without adjustments. Primary inputs for non- broker priced investments, including structured securities, are consistent with the typical inputs used in Level 2 measurements noted above, but are Level 3 due to their less liquid markets. Additionally, certain long-dated securities are priced based on third-party pricing services, including municipal securities, foreign government/government agency securities, and bank loans. Primary inputs for these long-dated securities are consistent with the typical inputs used in the preceding noted Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, but include benchmark interest rate or credit spread assumptions that are not observable in the marketplace. Also included in Level 3 are certain derivative instruments that either have significant unobservable inputs or are valued based on broker quotations. Significant inputs for these derivative contracts primarily include the typical inputs used in the Level 1 and Level 2 measurements noted above, but also may include equity and interest rate volatility and swap yield curves beyond observable limits. Separate Account assets Non-guaranteed Separate Account assets are primarily invested in mutual funds and are valued by the underlying mutual funds in accordance to their valuation policies and procedures. Significant Unobservable Inputs for Level 3 Assets Measured at Fair Values The following tables present information about significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 assets measured at fair value. The tables exclude corporate securities for which fair values are predominantly based on broker quotations. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any material Level 3 bonds measured at fair value that were not based on broker quotations.

Changes are based on long positions, unless otherwise noted. Changes in fair value will be inversely impacted for short positions. 32


 
[2] Level 3 macro hedge derivatives excludes those for which the Company bases fair value on broker quotations as noted in the following discussion. Securities and derivatives for which the Company bases fair value on broker quotations predominately include corporate bonds and certain credit derivatives. Due to the lack of transparency in the process brokers use to develop prices for these investments, the Company does not have access to the significant unobservable inputs brokers use to price these securities and derivatives. The Company believes however, the types of inputs brokers may use would likely be similar to those used to price securities and derivatives for which inputs are available to the Company, and therefore may include, but not be limited to, loss severity rates, constant prepayment rates, constant default rates and credit spreads. Therefore, similar to non-broker priced securities and derivatives, generally, increases in these inputs would cause fair values to decrease. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no significant adjustments were made by the Company to broker prices received. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) The tables below provides a roll-forward of financial instruments measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Total Realized/ Unrealized Gains Fair Value Transfers Transfers (Losses) Included in: Fair Value as of into out of Net Purchases/ Sales/ as of (Amounts in thousands) Jan.1, 2020 Level 3 [2] Level 3 [2] Income [1] Surplus Increases Decreases Settlements Dec. 31, 2020 Assets All other corporate bonds – asset-backed $ 8 $ — $ — $ — $ 19 $ — $ — $ (26) $ 1 Common stocks - unaffiliated 1,961 — — — — 7 (407) — 1,561 Total bonds and stocks 1,969 — — — 19 7 (407) (26) 1,562 Derivatives GMWB hedging instruments 21,512 — — — (21,512) — — — — Total derivatives [3] 21,512 — — — (21,512) — — — — Total assets $ 23,481 $ — $ — $ — $ (21,493) $ 7 $ (407) $ (26) $ 1,562 Liabilities Derivatives Macro hedge program $ (73,961) $ — $ — $ (191,158) $ 251,472 $ (69,653) $ — $ (163,478) $ (246,778) Total derivatives (3) (73,961) — — (191,158) 251,472 (69,653) — (163,478) (246,778) Total liabilities $ (73,961) $ — $ — $ (191,158) $ 251,472 $ (69,653) $ — $ (163,478) $ (246,778) [1] All amounts in this column are reported in net realized capital gains (losses).

The valuation methodologies used to determine the fair values of bonds, stocks and derivatives are described in the above Fair Value Measurements section of this note. The amortized cost of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments approximates fair value. Fair values for mortgage loans on real estate were estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on current lending rates for similar type loans. Current lending rates reflect changes in credit spreads and the remaining terms of the loans. The carrying amounts of the liability for deposit-type contracts and Separate Account liabilities approximate their fair values. The fair values of contract loans were determined using current loan coupon rates which reflect the current rates available under the contracts. As a result, the fair values approximate the carrying value of the contract loans. At December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company had no investments where it was not practicable to estimate fair value. 5.

The amount of federal income taxes incurred in the current year and each preceding year that will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses are: 2020 — 2019 — 2018 — 3. The aggregate amount of deposits reported as admitted assets under Section 6603 of the IRS Code was $0 as of December 31, 2020. F. Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return 1. The Company’s federal income tax return is consolidated within TL’s consolidated federal income tax return. The consolidated federal income tax return includes the following entities: Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company American Maturity Life Insurance Company 2. Federal Income Tax Allocation Estimated tax payments are made quarterly (if necessary), at which time intercompany tax balances are settled. In the subsequent year, additional settlements (if necessary) are made on the unextended due date of the return and at the time that the return is filed. The method of allocation among affiliates of the Company is subject to written agreement approved by the Board of Directors and based upon separate return calculations with current credit for net losses to the extent the losses provide a benefit in the consolidated tax return. 39


 
6. Reinsurance The amount of reinsurance recoverables from and payables to affiliated and unaffiliated reinsurers were $62,741,182 and $18,544,854 respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and $55,758,749 and $8,346,847 respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The effect of reinsurance as of and for the years ended December 31 is summarized as follows: 2020 Direct Assumed Ceded Net Aggregate reserves for future benefits $ 18,554,505,102 $ 881,152,754 $ (14,570,720,964) $ 4,864,936,892 Liability for deposit-type contracts 1,001,789,492 211,245 (802,735,820) 199,264,917 Policy and contract claim liabilities 238,345,043 25,774,263 (235,999,674) 28,119,632 Premium and annuity considerations 880,100,276 83,906,116 (828,502,897) 135,503,495 Death, annuity, disability and other benefits 1,475,763,618 116,452,362 (1,280,400,605) 311,815,375 Surrenders and other fund withdrawals 2,805,063,678 174,708,943 (424,779,670) 2,554,992,951 2019 Direct Assumed Ceded Net Aggregate reserves for future benefits $ 18,147,479,094 $ 911,775,436 $ (14,086,416,027) $ 4,972,838,503 Liability for deposit-type contracts 1,100,972,887 1,581,507 (886,412,156) 216,142,238 Policy and contract claim liabilities 212,998,764 21,177,790 (210,465,997) 23,710,557 Premium and annuity considerations 929,895,496 86,020,928 (895,909,672) 120,006,752 Death, annuity, disability and other benefits 1,439,811,752 124,279,834 (1,275,376,109) 288,715,477 Surrenders and other fund withdrawals 3,387,486,154 182,415,714 (472,619,284) 3,097,282,584 2018 Direct Assumed Ceded Net Aggregate reserves for future benefits $ 18,158,158,608 $ 945,895,582 $ (13,870,725,332) $ 5,233,328,858 Liability for deposit-type contracts 1,204,076,689 247,955,369 (976,688,549) 475,343,509 Policy and contract claim liabilities 152,006,971 25,022,229 (149,662,542) 27,366,658 Premium and annuity considerations 1,026,148,635 90,521,601 (2,735,139,940) (1,618,469,704) Death, annuity, disability and other benefits 1,263,080,747 107,257,969 (1,027,017,105) 343,321,611 Surrenders and other fund withdrawals 3,898,586,530 175,281,904 (526,234,814) 3,547,633,620 a. External reinsurance Immediately following the close of the Talcott Resolution sale transaction (see Note 1), the Company and TL entered into reinsurance agreements with Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Global Atlantic Financial Group. Pursuant to the reinsurance agreements, the Company ceded, on an 85% quota share basis, the Company’s variable and fixed payout annuity contracts and period certain structured settlement contracts. Additionally, standard lives structured settlement contracts were ceded on a 75% quota share basis. The net impact of this reinsurance transaction on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition included the transfer of reserves, deposit liabilities and IMR totaling approximately $2.5 billion, offset by cash and invested assets totaling $2.7 billion at market value. The Company realized gains of $258 million and received a ceding commission of $141 million, before tax. The net gain totaling $73 million, after tax, was deferred as a component of Other than special surplus funds on the Company’s Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus, and will be amortized over a period of 25 years as earnings are projected to emerge from this block of business. Amortization amounts, which are recorded as Commission and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded on the Statements of Operation and as amortization and a decrease of Gain on inforce reinsurance on the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus totaled $4.7 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company cedes insurance to unaffiliated insurers in order to limit its maximum losses. Such agreements do not relieve the Company from its primary liability to policyholders. The inability or unwillingness of a reinsurer to meet its financial obligations to the Company, including the impact of any insolvency or rehabilitation proceedings involving a reinsurer that could affect the Company's access to collateral held in trust, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company reduces this risk by evaluating the financial condition of reinsurers and monitoring for possible concentrations of credit risk. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has two reinsurance-related concentrations of credit risk greater than 10% of the Company’s capital and surplus. The concentrations, which are actively 40


 
monitored, are as follows: reserve credits totaling $13.3 billion for Prudential Financial Inc. ("Prudential") offset by $12.1 billion of market value of assets held in trust, for a net exposure of $1.2 billion. In addition, reserve credits totaling $2.0 billion for Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company are offset by $2.5 billion of market value of assets held in trust, for no net exposure. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had two reinsurance-related concentrations of credit risk greater than 10% of the Company’s capital and surplus. The concentrations, which were actively monitored, were as follows: reserve credits totaling $12.7 billion for Prudential offset by $10.8 billion of market value of assets held in trust, for a net exposure of $1.9 billion. In addition, reserve credits totaling $2.2 billion for Commonwealth Annuity and Life Insurance Company offset by $2.6 billion of market value of assets held in trust, for no net exposure. The Company has a reinsurance agreement under which the reinsurer has a limited right to unilaterally cancel the reinsurance for reasons other than for nonpayment of premium or other similar credits. The estimated amount of aggregate reduction in the Company’s surplus of this limited right to unilaterally cancel this reinsurance agreement by the reinsurer for which cancellation results in a net obligation of the Company to the reinsurer, and for which such obligation is not presently accrued is $43,673,148 in 2020, an increase of $12,370,401 from the 2019 balance of $31,302,747. The total amount of reinsurance credits taken for this agreement was $55,282,466 in 2020, an increase of $15,658,736 from the 2019 balance of $39,623,730. On January 2, 2013, The Hartford completed the sale of its Individual Life insurance business to Prudential. As part of this transaction a reinsurance gain of approximately $600 million, before tax, was deferred and will be amortized over 20 years as earnings are estimated to emerge from the business reinsured. Amortization amounts, which are recorded as Commissions and expense allowances on reinsurance ceded on the Statements of Operations and as Amortization and decreases of gain on inforce reinsurance on the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus, totaled $19.0 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. b. Reinsurance Assumed from Affiliates TL and TLA received approval from the State of Connecticut Department of Insurance in January 2018, to enter into an assumption reinsurance agreement effective February 1, 2018. Pursuant to this agreement, TL transferred approximately $4.6 billion of reserves and $0.1 billion of associated IMR liability along with cash and invested assets with a book value totaling $4.7 billion, equal to the liabilities, to TLA. This assumption reinsurance transaction was considered a non- economic transaction and TLA and TL received no material impacts to surplus as a result of this transaction. Assumption reinsurance is reported as direct reserves in the table above. 7. Related Party Transactions Transactions between the Company and its affiliates, relate principally to tax settlements, reinsurance, insurance coverages, rental and service fees, capital contributions, returns of capital and payments of dividends. Substantially all general insurance expenses related to the Company, including rent and benefit plan expenses, are initially paid by TL. Direct expenses are allocated using specific identification and indirect expenses are allocated using other applicable methods. Indirect expenses include those for corporate areas which, depending on type, are allocated based on either a percentage of direct expenses or on utilization. The Company reported $0 and $176 as receivables from parent, subsidiaries and affiliates as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company reported $10,779,853 and $131,359,329 as payable to parents, subsidiaries and affiliates as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amounts are settled in accordance with terms of the agreements. Effective June 1, 2018, TL entered into an Intercompany Liquidity Agreement (the “Liquidity Agreement”) with TLA. The Liquidity Agreement allows for short-term advances of funds between TL, TLA and certain TL subsidiaries who become parties to the Liquidity Agreement in the future. The Company had no issued and outstanding notes as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. As part of the Talcott Resolution sale transaction (see Note 1), the Company funded a pre-closing return of capital to TL totaling $309.5 million. This return of capital included amounts that HHI paid to the Company and its affiliated for certain assets that were transferred to HHI related to the reallocation of alternative minimum tax credits and other tax settlements. In 41


 
addition, as part of the agreement, HHI reimbursed the Company for leakage as defined in the agreement be contributing capital totaling $37.6 million to the Company before closing. On September 18, 2020, TLA paid a dividend of $400,000,000 to TL, the Company's parent. On September 16, 2019, Talcott Resolution received permission from the Department to pay an extraordinary dividend (as a return of capital) of $250,000,000 from TLA to TL. TLA paid the dividend on September 17, 2019. Related party transactions may not be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred on a stand-alone basis. For additional information, see Notes 5, 6, 8 and 11. 8. Retirement Plans, Other Postretirement Benefit Plans and Postemployment Benefits As of June 1, 2018, Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company adopted a investment and savings plan, the Talcott 401(k) Plan and a non-qualified savings plan, the Talcott Resolution Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective December 31, 2018, both plans were assigned to Talcott Resolution Life Inc., the Company's indirect parent. Substantially all U.S. employees of the Company are eligible to participate in Talcott 401 (k) Plan under which designated contributions can be invested in a variety of investments. The Company's contributions include a non-elective contribution of 2% of eligible compensation and a dollar-for- dollar matching contribution of up to 6% of eligible compensation contributed by the employee each pay period. The Talcott Resolution Deferred Compensation Savings Plan has a 6% matching contribution for eligible compensation earned in excess of the 401(a)(17) limit, currently $275,000. Eligible compensation includes salary and bonuses and participants can defer up to 80% of their eligible pay. The costs allocated to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were immaterial. The Company participates in Talcott sponsored postemployment plans that provide for medical and salary replacement benefits for employees on long-term disability. The expenses allocated to the Company for long term disability were not material to the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 9. Debt The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”). Membership allows the Company access to collateralized advances, which may be used to support various spread-based businesses or to enhance liquidity management. FHLB membership requires the Company to own member stock and borrowings require the purchase of activity-based stock in an amount (generally between 3.0% and 4.0% of the principal balance) based upon the term of the outstanding advances. FHLB stock held by the Company is classified within Common and preferred stocks on the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no advances outstanding. State law limits the Company's ability to pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber its assets. The amount of advances that can be taken by the Company are dependent on the assets pledged by the Company to secure the advances, and are therefore subject to this legal limit. The pledge limit is recalculated annually based on statutory admitted assets and capital and surplus. For 2020 and 2019, the Company's pledge limits were $155 million and $245 million. The Company would need to seek prior written approval from the Department in order to exceed this limit. If the Company were to pursue borrowing additional amounts under its estimated capacity it may have to purchase additional shares of activity stock.

Capital and Surplus and Shareholder Dividend Restrictions Dividend Restrictions The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid to shareholders by Connecticut domiciled insurance companies, without prior approval of the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner (the “Commissioner”), is generally restricted to the greater of 10% of surplus as of the preceding December 31st or the net gain from operations after dividends to policyholders, federal income taxes and before realized capital gains or (losses) for the previous year. In addition, if any dividend exceeds the insurer's earned surplus, it requires the prior approval of the Commissioner. Dividends are paid as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with state statutes and regulations, and are not cumulative. Dividends paid totaled $400 million and $250 million (as a return of capital) in 2020 and 2019, respectively. For additional information, see Note 7. No dividends were paid in 2018. With respect to dividends to its parent, TL, the Company’s dividend limitation under the holding company laws of Connecticut is $334,109,047 in 2021. Unassigned Funds The portion of unassigned funds represented or reduced by each item below at December 31 was as follows: 2020 2019 Unrealized capital losses, gross of tax $ (224,889,772) $ (298,629,852) Asset valuation reserve (134,693,701) (128,507,852) Nonadmitted asset values (40,454,760) (70,109,152) Separate Account expense allowance 33,780,546 43,935,527 11. Separate Accounts The Company maintained Separate Account assets totaling $28,430,266,880 and $27,243,815,730 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company utilizes Separate Accounts to record and account for assets and liabilities for particular lines of business. For the current reporting year, the Company recorded assets and liabilities for individual variable annuities, variable life and variable universal life product lines in the Separate Accounts. 43


 
The Separate Account classifications are supported by state statute and are in accordance with the domiciliary state procedures for approving items within the Separate Accounts. Separate Account assets are segregated from other investments and reported at fair value. Some assets are considered legally insulated whereas others are not legally insulated from the General Account. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s Separate Account statement included legally insulated assets of $28,430,266,880 and $27,243,815,730, respectively. Separate Account liabilities are determined in accordance with prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the market value less applicable surrender charges. The resulting surplus is recorded in the General Account Statements of Operations as a component of Net transfers from Separate Accounts. The Company’s Separate Accounts are non-guaranteed, wherein the policyholder assumes substantially all the investment risks and rewards. Investment income (including investment gains and losses) and interest credited to policyholders on Separate Account assets are not separately reflected in the Statements of Operations. Separate Account fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $515,178,848, $533,685,441 and $575,989,832 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are recorded as a component of fee income on the Company’s Statements of Operations. An analysis of the Separate Accounts as of December 31, 2020 is as follows: Indexed Nonindexed Guaranteed Less Than or Equal to 4% Nonindexed Guaranteed More Than 4% Nonguaranteed Separate Accounts Total Premium considerations or deposits for the year ended December 31, 2020 $ — $ — $ — $ 285,780,328 $ 285,780,328 Reserves at year-end: For accounts with assets at: Fair value $ — $ — $ — $ 28,369,933,867 $ 28,369,933,867 Amortized cost — — — — — Total reserves $ — $ — $ — $ 28,369,933,867 $ 28,369,933,867 By withdrawal characteristics: Subject to discretionary withdrawal $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — With market value adjustment — — — — — At book value without market value adjustment and with surrender charge of 5% or more — — — — — At fair value — — — 28,048,820,141 28,048,820,141 At book value without market value adjustment and with surrender charge of less than 5% — — — — — Subtotal — — — 28,048,820,141 28,048,820,141 Not subject to discretionary withdrawal — — — 321,113,726 321,113,726 Total $ — $ — $ — $ 28,369,933,867 $ 28,369,933,867 Below is a reconciliation of net transfers from Separate Accounts: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Transfer to Separate Accounts 285,780,328 $ 293,283,966 $ 320,805,640 Transfer from Separate Accounts 2,882,960,715 3,388,130,028 3,836,797,059 Net Transfer from Separate Accounts (2,597,180,387) (3,094,846,062) (3,515,991,419) Internal exchanges and other Separate Account activity (7,948,104) (8,041,963) (11,772,160) Transfer from Separate Accounts on the Statements of Operations $ (2,605,128,491) $ (3,102,888,025) $ (3,527,763,579) 12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities a. Litigation The Company is or may become involved in various legal actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the financial condition of the Company. 44


 
b. Guaranty Funds In all states, insurers licensed to transact certain classes of insurance are required to become members of a guaranty fund. In most states, in the event of the insolvency of an insurer writing any such class of insurance in the state, members of the funds are assessed to pay certain claims of the insolvent insurer. A particular state’s fund assesses its members based on their respective written premiums in the state for the classes of insurance in which the insolvent insurer was engaged. Assessments are generally limited for any year to one or two percent of premiums written per year, depending on the state. Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Part of the assessments paid by/refunded to the Company pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes. The Company paid immaterial net guaranty fund assessments in 2020, 2019, and 2018. The Company had immaterial guaranty fund receivables as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. c. Contingent Commitments As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has outstanding commitments totaling $283,651,910 and $227,227,134, respectively, of which $232,421,082 and $179,967,557, respectively, is committed to fund limited partnership and other alternative investments, which may be called by the partnership during the commitment period to fund the purchase of new investments and partnership expenses. Additionally, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, $47,560,178 and $29,402,077, respectively, is largely related to commercial whole loans. The remaining outstanding commitments of $3,670,650 and $17,857,500 are related to various funding obligations associated with private placement securities, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Detail of Other Contingent Commitments 1 Nature and Circumstances of Guarantee and Key Attributes, Including Date and Duration of Agreement 2 Liability Recognition of Guarantee 3 Ultimate Financial Statement Impact if Action Under the Guarantee is Required 4 Maximum Potential Amount of Future Payments the Guarantor Could be Required to Make 5 Current Status of Payment or Performance Risk of Guarantee Effective February 1, 2018, TLA guaranteed the obligations of Talcott Resolution Comprehensive Employee Benefit Service Company ("TCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, with respect to certain structured settlement liability obligations to provide an increased level of security to claimants under such structured settlements; these obligations were assumed from TL on February 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no liability was recorded for this guarantee, as TCB was able to meet these policyholder obligations.. $ — Increase in Investments in SCA, Dividends to stockholders (capital contribution), Expense, or Other Unlimited (1) The guaranteed affiliate maintains surplus in addition to policyholder reserves. The payment or performance risk of this guarantee is low as It is unlikely that this guarantee will be triggered. (1) There is no limit on the Company's guarantee to pay policyholder obligations on behalf of the affiliate for the contracts covered in the guarantee agreement. d. Leases Transactions with The Hartford include rental facilities and equipment. Rent paid by the Company to The Hartford for its share of space occupied and equipment used by the Company was $1,088,395, $1,020,253 and $1,196,952 in 2020. 2019 and 2018, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments are immaterial. The principal executive office of the Company, together with its parent and other life insurance affiliates, is located in Windsor, Connecticut. e. Tax Matters 45


 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to 2016, with the exception of net operating loss carryforwards utilized in open tax years. Management believes that adequate provision has been made in the financial statements for any potential adjustments that may result from tax examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years. The Separate Account dividend received deduction (“DRD”) is estimated for the current year using information from the most recent return, adjusted for current year equity market performance and other appropriate factors, including estimated levels of corporate dividend payments and level of policy owner equity account balances. The actual current year DRD can vary from estimates based on, but not limited to, changes in eligible dividends received in the mutual funds, amounts of distributions from these mutual funds and the Company’s taxable income before the DRD. The Company recorded benefits of $11,683,415, $14,693,111, and $25,866,633 related to the Separate Account DRD for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. 13.
