FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  
 
          The Company’s management has made in this report, and from time to time may make in its public filings and press releases as well as in oral presentations and discussions, forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s operations, economic performance, prospects and financial condition. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, discussions concerning the Company’s potential exposure to market risks, as well as statements expressing management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions, as indicated by words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “projects,” “should,” “probably,” “risk,” “target,” “goals,” “objectives,” or similar expressions. The Company claims the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements as set forth in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements due to a number of important factors including those discussed elsewhere in this report and in the Company’s other public filings, press releases, oral presentations and discussions and the following: venture capital gains or losses could differ significantly from our assumptions because of further significant changes in equity values; fees from assets under management could be significantly higher or lower than we have assumed if there are further major movements in the equity markets; the value of our overall investment portfolio could fluctuate significantly as a result of additional major changes in the equity and debt markets generally; actual death claims experience could differ significantly from our mortality assumptions; we may have as-yet unascertained tax liabilities; sales of variable products, mutual funds and equity securities could differ materially from our assumptions because of further unexpected developments in the equity markets and changes in demand for such products; major changes in interest rates could affect our earnings; we could have liability from as-yet unknown or unquantified litigation and claims; pending or known litigation or claims could result in larger settlements or judgments than we anticipate; the Company may have higher operating expenses than anticipated; changes in law or regulation, including tax laws, could materially affect the demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s net income after tax; and the Company may not achieve the assumed economic benefits of consolidating acquired enterprises. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

THE MONY GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES  
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED  
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
 
1.    Organization and Description of Business:  
 
          On November 16, 1998, pursuant to its Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which was approved by the New York Superintendent of Insurance on the same day (the “Plan Effective Date”), The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York (“MONY”) converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company (the “Demutualization”) and became a wholly owned subsidiary of The MONY Group Inc. (“MONY Group”), a Delaware corporation organized on June 24, 1997. In connection with the Plan, MONY established a closed block (“Closed Block”) to fund the guaranteed benefits and dividends of certain participating insurance policies, and eligible policyholders received cash, policy credits, or shares of common stock of the MONY Group in exchange for their membership interests in MONY. Also, on November 16, 1998, the MONY Group consummated an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of approximately 12.9 million shares of its common stock and MONY changed its name to MONY Life Insurance Company. The shares of common stock issued in the Offering are in addition to approximately 34.3 million shares of common stock of the MONY Group distributed to the aforementioned policyholders. As used in these financial statements, the “Company” shall be a reference to MONY Group and its direct and indirect subsidiaries; “MONY Life” shall be a reference to MONY Life Insurance Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and the “Transaction” shall be a collective reference to the Plan and Offerings.  
 
          The Company is primarily engaged in the business of providing a wide range of life insurance, annuity, and investment products and services to higher income individuals, particularly family builders, pre-retirees, and small business owners. In addition, as a result of the acquisitions of Advest Group Inc. (“Advest”) and Matrix Capital Markets Group Inc. and Matrix Private Equities, Inc. (referred to together as “Matrix”) during the first quarter of 2001 (see Note 2), the Company provides trading, investment banking and trust services, and has significantly enhanced its asset management services and securities brokerage offerings.  
 
          The Company distributes its products and services primarily through its career agency sales force, Advest financial advisors and various complementary distribution channels. Complementary distribution includes: (i) sales of mutual funds by Enterprise Capital Management, a Company subsidiary, through third-party broker dealers, (ii) sales of Protection Products sold by U.S. Financial Life Insurance Company (“USFL”), also a Company subsidiary, through brokerage general agencies, (iii) sales of corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) products by the Company’s corporate marketing team and (iv) sales of a variety of financial products and services through the Company’s Trusted Securities Advisors Corp. subsidiary. The Company primarily sells its products in all 50 of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.  
 
2.    Acquisitions:  
 
          On January 31, 2001, the Company completed a merger in which it acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Advest in exchange for approximately $308.2 million of consideration (including transaction and other acquisition related expenses of approximately $15.0 million) consisting of cash of approximately $165.9 million and 3.9 million shares of common stock of the MONY Group with a fair value of approximately $142.3 million. As a result of the merger, Advest became a wholly owned subsidiary of MONY Group Inc. Advest, through its principal operating subsidiaries Advest Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and Advest Bank and Trust Company, a federal savings bank, provides diversified financial services including, securities brokerage, trading, investment banking, trust and asset management services. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill recorded in connection with the transaction approximated $157.2 million and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years. Goodwill was increased by $22.2 million during the second quarter primarily reflecting cost incurred in connection with the outsourcing of Advest’s clearing operations which was contemplated at the date of acquisition. In connection with the transaction, a retention program was established for certain Advest personnel, which is expected to cost, on a present value basis, approximately $45.0 million over the five-year period commencing from the date the transaction was consummated. Pursuant to the terms of this retention program the Company expects to record a charge of $7.5 million in each of the two 12 month periods following the date the transaction was consummated and $10.0 million in each of the three succeeding 12 month periods. In addition, a separate retention program was established for certain of Advest’s key management personnel that could result in total costs of approximately $15.0 million, depending upon the achievement of specified performance goals, over the two year period following the date the Advest Acquisition was consummated.  
 
          Effective January 1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Matrix for $12.1 million in cash, plus the obligation to make certain contingent payments in the event that Matrix achieves certain profit goals. Matrix primarily provides investment banking services to middle market companies. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill recorded in connection with the transaction was approximately $11.1 million and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years.  
 
3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:  
 
 
Basis of Presentation  
 
          The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2000, which are presented in MONY Group’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (“MONY Group’s 2000 Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made in the amounts presented for the comparative prior periods to conform those periods to the current presentation.  
 
 
New Accounting Pronouncements  
 
          On December 26, 2000 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 00-3, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Demutualizations and Formations of Mutual Insurance Holding Companies and For Certain Long-Duration Participating Contracts (“SOP 00-3”). SOP 00-3 provides guidance with respect to accounting for Demutualizations and requires, among other things, that (i) Closed Block assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses should be displayed in financial statements combined with all other assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses outside the Closed Block, and (ii) Demutualization expenses be classified as a single line item within income from continuing operations. The guidance in SOP 00-3 requires restatement of financial statements presented for years prior to its issuance and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000, except as it pertains to demutualization expenses which was effective immediately upon its issuance. The financial statements herein reflect the adoption of SOP 00-3. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and balance sheets presented herein for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 have been restated from those previously reported in the prior year to conform the presentation thereof to that required by SOP 00-3.  
 
          In the first quarter of 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The corresponding derivative gains and losses should be reported based on the hedge relationship, if any, that exists. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133, are required to be reported in earnings. SFAS 133, is effective for all fiscal quarters of the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 did not have a significant affect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  
 
          In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, a replacement of SFAS No. 125 (“SFAS 140”). SFAS No. 140 specifies the accounting and reporting requirements for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral, recognition and measurement of servicing assets and liabilities and the extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. This statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Adoption of the new requirements did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  
 
          In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). SFAS 141 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for all business combinations. This statement requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase accounting method and abolishes the use of the pooling-of-interest method, requires separate recognition of intangible assets that can be identified and named, and expands required disclosures. All of the Company’s past business combinations have been accounted for under the purchase accounting method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This statement has no effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.  
 
          In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). This statement addresses (i) how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition and (ii) how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Under SFAS 142, Company’s will no longer amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over a predetermined period of time. SFAS 142 requires companies to evaluate recoverability of goodwill at least annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. FAS 142 requires amortization of identified intangibles with finite useful lives over their expected useful lives. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of SFAS 142 on its financial position and results of operations, but does not expect it to have an adverse material effect.  
 
 
New Accounting Policies  
 
          Following is a summary of significant accounting policies for certain new line items appearing in the Company’s 2001 financial statements for the first time due to the acquisition of Advest.  
 
 
Receivables from and payables to brokerage customers  
 
          Receivables from and payables to brokerage customers arise from cash and margin transactions executed by Advest on their behalf. In virtually all instances, receivables are collateralized by securities with market values in excess of the amounts due. The collateral is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. A reserve for doubtful accounts is established based upon reviews of individual credit risks, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. Included in payables to brokerage customers are free credit balances of $168.3 million as of June 30, 2001. Advest pays interest on credit balances when the customer has indicated that the funds are for reinvestment purposes.  
 
 
Collateralized financing transactions  
 
          Securities loaned and borrowed are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount of cash collateral received or advanced. The fee received or paid by Advest is recorded as interest revenue or expense and is reflected in Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues and other operating costs and expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statement of income. The initial collateral advanced or received has a market value in excess of the market value of the underlying securities. The Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary.  
 
          Advest utilizes short-term repurchase agreements as supplementary short-term financing and delivers U.S. Treasury securities as collateral for cash received. These repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financings. The fee paid by Advest is recorded as interest expense. Advest monitors the market value of securities transferred on a daily basis, and obtains or refunds collateral as necessary.  
 
 
Securities  
 
          Advest’s trading securities and securities sold, not yet purchased are valued at market with unrealized gains and losses reflected in current period revenues from principal transactions or investment banking. Periodically, Advest receives stock warrants in connection with its investment banking activities. Warrants are carried at their fair value which is determined using the Black-Scholes model or another standard option valuation technique.The value of such warrants and changes therein are reflected in earnings.  
 
          At June 30, 2001, trading securities, securities pledged as collateral and securities sold, not yet purchased consisted of:

Investment banking  
 
          Investment banking revenues are recorded, net of expenses, on the settlement date for management fees and sales concessions, and on the dates the underwriting syndications are closed for underwriting fees. Investment banking revenues are included in Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues in the consolidated statement of income.  
 
 
Short term borrowings  
 
          In the ordinary course of business, primarily to facilitate securities settlements and finance margin debits and trading inventories, Advest obtains bank loans which are collateralized by its trading securities and customers’ margin securities. The loans are payable on demand and bear interest based on the federal funds rate. At June 30, 2001, Advest had $392.7 million in bank loans all collateralized by firm and customer securities. The weighted average interest rate on bank loans outstanding at June 30, 2001, was 5.03%.  
 
4.    Segment Information:  
 
          For management and reporting purposes, the Company’s business is organized in three principal operating segments, the “Protection Products” segment, the “Accumulation Products” segment and the “Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking” segment. Substantially all of the Company’s other business activities are combined and reported in the “Other Products” segment.  
 
          Products comprising the Protection Products segment primarily includes a wide range of insurance products, including: whole life, term life, universal life, variable universal life, corporate-owned life insurance, last survivor variable universal life, last survivor universal life, group universal life, last survivor whole life and special-risk products. In addition, included in the protection products segment are: (i) the assets and liabilities transferred pursuant to the Group Pension Transaction, as well as the Group Pension Profits derived therefrom (see Note 5), (ii) the Closed Block assets and liabilities, as well as all the related revenues and expenses relating thereto.  
 
          The Accumulation Products segment primarily includes flexible premium variable annuities, single premium deferred annuities, single premium immediate annuities, proprietary mutual funds, investment management services, and certain other financial services products.  
 
          The Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment is comprised of the operations of Advest, Matrix and MONY Securities Corporation (“MSC”). Advest provides diversified financial services including securities brokerage, trading, investment banking, trust and asset management services. Matrix is a middle market investment bank specializing in merger and acquisition services for a middle market client base. MSC is a securities broker dealer that transacts customer trades primarily in securities and mutual funds. In addition to selling the Company’s Protection and Accumulation Products, MSC provides the Company’s career agency distribution system access to other non-proprietary investment products (including stocks, bonds, limited partnership interests, tax-exempt unit investment trusts and other investment securities). MSC was previously reported in the Other Products segment. The segmented data presented below as of December 31, 2000 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 has been restated from that reported in the prior year period to reflect the reclassification of MSC from the Other Products segment to the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment.  
 
          The Company’s Other Products segments primarily consists of an insurance brokerage operation and certain lines of insurance business no longer written by the Company (the “run-off businesses”).The insurance brokerage operation provides the Company’s career agency sales force with access to variable life, annuity, small group health and specialty insurance products written by other carriers to meet the insurance and investment needs of its customers. The run off businesses primarily consist of group life and health business as well as group pension business that was not included in the Group Pension Transaction (see Note 5).  
 
          Amounts reported as “reconciling amounts” in the table below primarily relate to: (i) contracts issued by the Company relating to its employee benefit plans and, (ii) assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the MONY Group.  
 
          Set forth in the following table is certain financial information with respect to the Company’s operating segments as well as amounts not allocated to the segments as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for each the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

6.    Commitments and Contingencies:  
 
          Since late 1995 a number of purported class actions have been commenced in various state and federal courts against the Company alleging that it engaged in deceptive sales practices in connection with the sale of whole and universal life insurance policies from the early 1980s through the mid 1990s. Although the claims asserted in each case are not identical, they seek substantially the same relief under essentially the same theories of recovery (i.e., breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent supervision and training, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and violation of state insurance and/or deceptive business practice laws). Plaintiffs in these cases seek primarily equitable relief (e.g., reformation, specific performance, mandatory injunctive relief prohibiting the Company from canceling policies for failure to make required premium payments, imposition of a constructive trust and creation of a claims resolution facility to adjudicate any individual issues remaining after resolution of all class-wide issues) as opposed to compensatory damages, although they also seek compensatory damages in unspecified amounts. The Company has answered the complaints in each action (except for one being voluntarily held in abeyance). The Company has denied any wrongdoing and has asserted numerous affirmative defenses.  
 
          On June 7, 1996, the New York State Supreme Court certified one of those cases, Goshen v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life Insurance Company of America (now known as DeFilippo, et al v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life Insurance Company of America), the first of the class actions filed, as a nationwide class consisting of all persons or entities who have, or at the time of the policy’s termination had, an ownership interest in a whole or universal life insurance policy issued by MONY and sold on an alleged “vanishing premium” basis during the period January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1995. On March 27, 1997, MONY filed a motion to dismiss or, alternatively, for summary judgment on all counts of the complaint. All of the other putative class actions have been consolidated and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and/or are being held in abeyance pending the outcome of the Goshen case.  
 
          On October 21, 1997, the New York State Supreme Court granted MONY’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims filed in the Goshen case against MONY. On December 20, 1999, the New York State Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of all but one of the claims in the Goshen case (a claim under New York’s General Business Law), which has been remanded back to the New York State Supreme Court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. The New York State Supreme Court has subsequently reaffirmed that, for purposes of the remaining New York General Business Law claim, the class is now limited to New York purchasers only, and has further held that the New York General Business Law claims of all class members whose claims accrued prior to November 29, 1992 are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. MONY intends to defend itself vigorously against the sole remaining claim. There can be no assurance, however, that the present litigation relating to sales practices will not have a material adverse effect on MONY.  
 
          On November 16, 1999, The MONY Group Inc. and MONY Life Insurance Company were served with a complaint in an action entitled Calvin Chatlos, M.D., and Alvin H. Clement, On Behalf of Themselves And All Others Similarly Situated v. The MONY Life Insurance Company, The MONY Group Inc., and Neil D. Levin, Superintendent, New York Department of Insurance, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action purports to be brought as a class action on behalf of all individuals who had an ownership interest in one or more in-force life insurance policies issued by MONY Life Insurance Company as of November 16, 1998. The complaint alleges that (i) the New York Superintendent of Insurance, Neil D. Levin, violated Section 7312 of the New York Insurance Law by approving the plan of demutualization, which plaintiffs claim was not fair and adequate, primarily because it allegedly failed to provide for sufficient assets for the mechanism established under the plan to preserve reasonable dividend expectations of the closed block, and (ii) MONY violated Section 7312 by failing to develop and submit to the Superintendent a plan of demutualization that was fair and adequate. The plaintiffs seek equitable relief in the form of an order vacating and/or modifying the Superintendent’s order approving the plan of demutualization and/or directing the Superintendent to order MONY to increase the assets in the closed block, as well as unspecified monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief.  
 
          In early January 2000, MONY and the New York Superintendent wrote to the District Court seeking a pre-motion conference preliminary to the filing of a motion to dismiss the federal complaint on jurisdictional, federal abstention and timeliness grounds and for failure to state a claim. Following receipt of those letters, plaintiffs’ counsel offered voluntarily to dismiss their complaint, and a stipulation and order to that effect was thereafter filed and approved by the court.  
 
          On March 27, 2000, plaintiffs filed a new action in New York State Supreme Court bearing the same caption and naming the same defendants as the previously filed federal action. The state court complaint differs from the complaint previously filed in federal court in two primary respects. First, it no longer asserts a claim for damages against the Superintendent, nor does its prayer for relief seek entry of an order vacating or modifying the Superintendent’s decision or requiring the Superintendent to direct MONY to place additional assets into the closed block. Rather, it seeks an accounting and an order from the Court directing MONY to transfer additional assets to the closed block.  
 
          Second, the new complaint contains claims for breach of contract and fiduciary duty, as well as new allegations regarding the adequacy of the disclosures contained in the Policyholder Information Booklet distributed to policyholders soliciting their approval of the plan of demutualization (which plaintiffs claim violated both the Insurance Law and MONY’s fiduciary duties).  
 
          In order to challenge successfully the New York Superintendent’s approval of the plan, plaintiffs would have to sustain the burden of showing that such approval was arbitrary and capricious or an abuse of discretion, made in violation of lawful procedures, affected by an error of law or not supported by substantial evidence. In addition, Section 7312 provides that MONY may ask the court to require the challenging party to give security for the reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred by MONY or the Superintendent or for which MONY may become liable, to which security MONY shall have recourse in such amount as the court shall determine upon the termination of the action.  

 
          MONY and the Superintendent moved to dismiss the state court complaint in its entirety on a variety of grounds. On April 20, 2001, the New York Supreme Court granted both motions and dismissed all claims against MONY and the Superintendent. On June 29, 2001 plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the New York Appellate Division, appealing the dismissal of the claims against MONY and the Superintendent. MONY intends to defend itself vigorously against plaintiffs’ appeal. There can be no assurance, however, that the present litigation will not have a material adverse effect on MONY.  
 
          In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is involved in various other legal actions and proceedings (some of which involve demands for unspecified damages) in connection with its business. In the opinion of management of the Company, resolution of contingent liabilities, income taxes and other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.  
 
          At June 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to contribute capital to its equity partnership investments of $153.1 million and commitments to purchase $47.2 million of private fixed and floating rate maturity securities with interest rates ranging from 6.55% to 11.50%.  
 
          At June 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to issue $6.1 million of fixed rate agricultural loans with periodic interest rate reset dates. The initial interest rates on such loans range from approximately 7.50% to 7.87%. In addition, the Company had commitments to issue $119.0 million of fixed rate and floating rate commercial mortgage loans with interest rates ranging from 6.60% to 8.65%.  
 
          At June 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to issue $16.4 million of mezzanine financing with pay rates ranging from 9.00% to 15.50%.  
 
          In addition, the Company maintains a bank line of credit facility with domestic banks aggregating $150.0 million, with a scheduled renewal date in June 2002. In accordance with certain covenants under these lines of credit, the Company is required to maintain a certain statutory tangible net worth and debt to capitalization ratio. The purpose of this facility is to provide additional liquidity for any unanticipated short-term cash needs the Company might experience and also to serve as support for the Company’s $150.0 million commercial paper program which was activated in the third quarter of 2000. The Company has complied with all covenants under these lines of credit, has not borrowed against these lines of credit since their inception, and does not have any commercial paper outstanding as of June 30, 2001.  
 
          At June 30, 2001, Advest was contingently liable under bank letter of credit agreements in the amount of $5.3 million, which are collateralized by securities held in customer accounts.

          For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, there were $4.7 million and $4.5 million in charges for other than temporary impairments on fixed maturities in the Closed Block. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, there were $4.7 million and $7.5 million, respectively, in charges for other than temporary impairments on fixed maturity securities in the Closed Block.  
 
8.    Extraordinary Item and Other Items:  
 
          (a)  On March 8, 2000, the MONY Group issued $300.0 million principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2010 and bear interest at 8.35% per annum. The principal amount of the Senior Notes is payable at maturity and interest is payable semi-annually. The net proceeds to the MONY Group from the issuance of the Senior Notes, after deducting underwriting commissions and other expenses (primarily legal and accounting fees), were approximately $296.6 million. Approximately $280.0 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes was used by the MONY Group Company to finance the repurchase, on March 8, 2000, by MONY Life of all of its outstanding $115.0 million face amount 9.5% coupon surplus notes, and $116.5 million face amount of its $125.0 million face amount 11.25% coupon surplus notes (hereafter referred to as the “9.5% Notes” and “11.25% Notes”, respectively), which were outstanding at December 31, 1999. The balance of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes will be used by the MONY Group Company for general corporate purposes.  
 
          As a result of the repurchase of the 9.5% Notes and substantially all of the 11.25% Notes, the Company recorded a before tax loss of $56.5 million ($36.7 million after tax) during the first quarter of 2000. The loss resulted from the premium paid by MONY Life to the holders of the 9.5% Notes and the 11.25% Notes reflecting the excess of their fair value over their carrying value on the Company’s books at the date of the transaction of approximately $7.0 million and $49.5 million, respectively. This loss is reported, net of tax, as an extraordinary item on the Company’s income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000.  
 
          (b)  Since January 2000, the Company has had a common share repurchase program in place. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company announced a plan to repurchase an additional 2.5 million common shares, bringing the total authorized share repurchase to approximately 4.9 million shares. Under the plan, the Company may repurchase such shares from time to time, as market conditions and other factors warrant. The plan may be discontinued at anytime. As of June 30, 2001, 1,898,689 million shares had been repurchased at an aggregate cost of approximately $61.0 million.  
 
9.    Subsequent Events:  
 
          In August 2001, MONY Life paid dividends to MONY Group in the amount of $100 million.

Three-month Period Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to the Three-month Period Ended June 30, 2000.  
 
          Premiums — Premium revenue was $173.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 1.8% from $176.5 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of lower premiums in the Protection Products segment of $4.7 million. This decrease was primarily a result of lower renewal premiums of $9.4 million due to the reduction of the in-force block, offset by an increase in single premiums of $1.5 million, and an increase of $3.4 million in premiums from special risk term insurance products offered by U.S. Financial Life Insurance Company (“USFL”). The increase in new premiums written by USFL is primarily attributable to the expansion of its distribution and the improvement of its financial strength ratings since being acquired by the Company. Management believes that the decrease in traditional life insurance premiums is consistent with industry trends, particularly the continuing shift by consumers from traditional protection products to asset accumulation products. See “New Business Information” for a discussion regarding period to period sales and related trends.  
 
          Universal life and investment-type product policy fees — Universal life and investment-type product policy fees were $52.3 million for three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 6.4% from $55.9 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily a result of lower fees in the Protection Products segment and Accumulation Products segment of $1.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The decrease in the Protection Products segment was primarily related to lower fees from universal life (“UL”) and variable universal life (“VUL”) of $3.7 million, offset by higher fees earned from USFL of $2.5 million. The decrease in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily due to lower mortality and expense charges of $1.3 million, and a $1.9 million decrease in surrender charges in the Company’s flexible payment variable annuity (“FPVA”) product. The decrease in mortality and expense charges is due to lower fund values resulting from stock market declines. The decrease in surrender charges reflects the positive effects of the efforts of the Company’s conservation unit and other measures designed to improve persistency.  
 
          Net investment income and realized gains on investments — Net investment income was $189.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $40.0 million, or 17.4%, from $229.5 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net investment income is primarily related to a decrease in income recorded by the Company from its investments in limited partnership interests. Such partnerships provide venture capital funding to companies through the purchase of, or investment in equity securities issued by such companies. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company had income of $6.3 million relating to such partnership investments, a decrease of $37.7 million from $44.0 million recorded for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2001, invested assets, excluding trading portfolio assets of $640.5 million, were $10,998.5 million (including cumulative unrealized gains of $32.4 million on fixed maturity securities) compared to $10,755.5 million (including cumulative unrealized losses of $222.5 million on fixed maturity securities) for the prior year period. At June 30, 2001, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans and real estate represented approximately 59.3%, 16.0% and 1.9%, respectively, of total invested assets (excluding trading portfolio assets), as compared to 59.7%, 17.4% and 3.6%, respectively, at June 30, 2000. The annualized yield on the Company’s invested assets, including limited partnership interests, before and after realized gains/(losses) on investments was 6.9% and 7.0%, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 8.3% and 7.9%, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. See “Investments — Results by Asset Category.”  
 
          Net realized capital gains were $3.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $11.9 million, from losses of $8.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The following table sets forth the components of net realized gains (losses) by investment category for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000.

          Net investment income and net realized gains on investments are allocated to the Company’s segments based on the assets allocated to such segments to support the associated liabilities of each segment and to maintain a targeted regulatory risk-based capital level for each segment.  
 
          Group Pension Profits — Group pension profits were $9.3 million for the three-month period ending June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.2 million or 14.8% from $8.1 million reported in the corresponding prior year period. The increase is primarily due to higher capital gains of $2.0 million due to bond prepayment and sales gains in 2001, offset with a $0.8 million decrease in operating income due to the run-off of the Group Pension business.  
 
          For summary financial information relating to the Group Pension profits, refer to Note 5 of the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. Management expects that Group Pension Profits will decline in future periods through the termination of the Group Pension Transaction on December 31, 2002 consistent with the continuing run-off of the underlying business.  
 
          Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking Revenues — Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues were $99.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $83.8 million compared to $16.0 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Advest in the first quarter of 2001. Revenues for Advest for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001, were $87.5 million. See “New Business Information.”  

 
          Other income — Other income (which consists primarily of fees earned by the Company’s mutual fund management and insurance brokerage operations, as well as, revenues from interest on deposits held under financial reinsurance arrangements, certain other asset management fees, and other miscellaneous revenues) was $41.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 9.5%, from $46.1 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower income of $4.5 million in the Accumulation Products segment which was primarily attributable to lower fees earned from the Company’s mutual fund management operations. The Company’s mutual fund management operations reported $23.2 million in fees from advisory, underwriting and distribution services in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $26.6 million in the comparable prior year period, as assets under management decreased to approximately $7.6 billion at June 30, 2001 from $8.8 billion at June 30, 2000. In addition, income from supplementary contracts decreased $1.7 million in the three-month period June 30, 2001 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 as lower interest rates on new supplementary contracts makes them less attractive.  
 
          Benefits to policyholders — Benefits to policyholders were $194.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 3.9%, from $202.4 million reported for comparable prior year period. The decrease consisted primarily of lower benefits of approximately $4.6 million and $1.8 million in the Company’s Protection Products segment and Accumulation Products segment, respectively. The decrease of $4.6 million in the Protection Products segment was primarily due to lower death benefits of $3.5 million, and lower surrenders of $6.1 million, offset by an increase in USFL of $4.5 million. The decrease of $1.8 million in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily the result of a decrease in benefits on supplementary contracts of $3.3 million due to the decline in the reserve, offset by increases in immediate annuity sales which resulted in increased reserve changes of $1.0 million.  
 
          Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances — Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances was $27.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.2 million, or 4.7%, from $25.8 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The increase was the result of higher interest crediting of $2.3 million in the Company’s Protection Products segment which was primarily attributable to the Company’s Corporate Sponsored VUL (“CSVUL”) business. This was offset by lower interest crediting of $1.3 million in the Company’s Accumulation Products segment primarily due to lower interest crediting on single premium deferred annuities (“SPDA”) of $0.7 million. During the second quarter of 2001, SPDA account value decreased approximately $8.0 million to $274.8 million as compared to $282.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease in account value in 2001 was primarily due to continuing withdrawals, which management believes partially reflects consumer preferences for separate account products.  
 
          Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs — Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) was $28.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 23.9%, from $37.2 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The decrease consisted primarily of lower DAC amortization in the Protection Products segment and the Accumulation Products segment of $5.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The decrease in DAC amortization in the Protection Products segment was due primarily to a decrease of $3.4 million in the Closed Block due to revised estimates reflecting better than expected profitability and a $2.7 million decrease in universal life. The decrease in DAC amortization in the Accumulation Products segment primarily resulted from lower amortization of $3.0 million relating to the Company’s FPVA business due to a decline in FPVA inforce business and the exchange activity to the new variable annuity products where better persistency is anticipated.  
 
          Dividends to policyholders — Dividends to policyholders were $60.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $7.9 million, or 15.0%, from $52.7 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The increase, substantially all of which occurred in the Protection Products segment, resulted from an increase in deferred dividend liability established in the Closed Block as of June 30, 2001, as compared to June 30, 2000.  
 
          Other operating costs and expenses — Other operating costs and expenses were $226.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $93.2 million, or 69.8%, from $133.6 million reported for the comparable prior year period. This increase consisted of $90.2 million relating to Advest which is reported in the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment and $5.2 higher interest expense from Senior Notes used to finance the Advest acquisition combined with higher interest on the company’s benefit plan expenses of $6.6 million. Offsetting these increases was $ 8.1 million lower compensation costs.  
 
 
Six-month Period Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to the Six-month Period Ended June 30, 2000.  
 
          Premiums — Premium revenue was $338.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 0.9% from $341.5 million reported for the comparable prior year period ended June 30, 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the Protection Products segment of $5.6 million. This decrease was a result of lower renewal premiums of $16.5 million due to the reduction of the in-force block, offset by an increase of $8.9 million in premiums from special risk term insurance products offered by USFL. The increase in new premiums written by USFL is primarily attributable to the expansion of its distribution, the improvement of its financial strength ratings since being acquired by the Company. Management believes that the decrease in traditional life insurance premiums is consistent with industry trends, particularly the continuing shift by consumers from traditional protection products to asset accumulation products. See “New Business Information” for a discussion regarding period to period sales and related trends.  
 
          Universal life and investment-type product policy fees — Universal life and investment-type product policy fees were $102.0 million for six-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 3.6% from $105.8 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily a result of lower fees in the Accumulation Products segment of $7.0 million, offset by higher fees in the Protection Product segment of $3.1 million. The decrease in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily due to lower mortality and expense charges of $2.4 million, and a $4.1 million decrease in surrender charges in the Company’s flexible payment variable annuity (“FPVA”) product. The decrease in FPVA mortality and expense charges is due to lower fund balances resulting from stock market declines. The decrease in surrender charges reflects the positive effects of the efforts of the Company’s conservation unit and other measures designed to improve persistency. The increase in the Protection Products segment was primarily attributable to higher fees earned from USFL of $3.5 million, higher fees earned on corporate sponsored variable universal life universal life (“CSVUL”) of $1.8 million, offset by lower fees earned on universal life (“UL”) and group universal life (“GUL”) of $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.  
 
          Net investment income and realized gains on investment — Net investment income was $373.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $208.1 million, or 35.8%, from $581.3 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net investment income is primarily related to a decrease in income recorded by the Company from its investments in limited partnership interests. Such partnerships provide venture capital funding to companies through the purchase of or investment in equity securities issued by such companies. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company had income of $1.5 million relating to such partnership investments, a decrease of $208.3 million from $209.8 million recorded for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. As of June 30, 2001, invested assets excluding trading portfolio assets of $640.5 million were $10,998.5 million (including cumulative unrealized gains of $32.4 million on fixed maturity securities) compared to $10,755.5 million (including cumulative unrealized losses of $222.5 million on fixed maturity securities) for the prior year period. At June 30, 2001, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans and real estate represented approximately 59.3%, 16.0% and 1.9%, respectively, of total invested assets (excluding trading portfolio assets), as compared to 59.7%, 17.4% and 3.6%, respectively, at June 30, 2000. The annualized yield on the Company’s invested assets, including limited partnership interests, before and after realized gains/(losses) on investments was 6.7% and 6.8%, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 10.5% and 10.7%, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. See “Investments —Results by Asset Category.”  
 
          Net realized capital gains were $5.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $4.2 million, from gains of $9.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The following table sets forth the components of net realized gains (losses) by investment category for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2000.

          Group Pension Profits — Group Pension Profits were $19.2 million for six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.0 million or 5.5% from $18.2 million reported in the corresponding prior year period. The increase is due to higher capital gains of $3.0 million due to sales and prepayment gains on bonds in 2001, offset with $2.0 million decrease in operating income due to the run-off of the group pension business. See “Notes to Unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Group Pension Transaction”.  
 
          For summary financial information relating to the Group Pension profits, refer to Note 5 of the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Management expects that Group Pension Profits will decline in future periods through the termination of the Group Pension Transaction on December 31, 2002 consistent with the continuing run-off of the underlying business.  
 
          Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking Revenues — Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues were $170.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $136.5 million compared $34.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Advest and Matrix in the first quarter of 2001. Revenues for Advest for the period January 31, 2001 (date of acquisition) through June 30, 2001, were $145.9 million. See “New Business Information.”  
 
          Other income — Other income (which consists primarily of fees earned by the Company’s mutual fund management and insurance brokerage operations, as well as revenues from interest on deposits held under financial reinsurance arrangements, certain other asset management fees, and other miscellaneous revenues) was $72.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $15.3 million, or 17.5%, from $87.3 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower income of $6.5 million in the Protection Products segment and $9.6 million the Accumulation Products segment, respectively.  
 
          The decrease in income recorded in the Protection Products was primarily due to the decrease in cash surrender value of the Company’s corporate owned life insurance (“COLI”) contract as a result of unfavorable market conditions. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company purchased a COLI contract from a third party insurance company to better hedge the changes in the value of the Company’s non-qualified employee compensation plans. The decrease in income recorded in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily attributable to lower fees earned from the Company’s mutual fund management operations. The Company’s mutual fund management operations reported $47.0 million in fees from advisory, underwriting and distribution services in the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $53.9 million in the comparable prior year period, as assets under management decreased to approximately $7.6 billion at June 30, 2001 from $8.8 billion at June 30, 2000. In addition, income from supplementary contracts decreased $2.0 million in the six-month period June 30, 2001 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 as interest rates on new supplementary contracts were decreased making them less attractive.  

 
          Benefits to policyholders — Benefits to policyholders were $392.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $9.1 million, or 2.4%, from $383.1 million reported for comparable prior year period. The increase consisted primarily of higher death benefits of approximately $8.2 million, and $1.1 million in the Company’s Protection Products segment, and Other Products segment, respectively, offset by $1.2 million in lower benefits in the Accumulation Products segment. The increase of $8.2 million in the Protection Products segment was due to higher death benefits of $5.7 million, and higher reserves of $10.2 million which is consistent with the growth of the traditional in-force block, offset by lower surrenders of $17.5 million and an increase in USFL benefits of $9.2 million. The increase in the Other Products segment was due primarily to a release of a reserve on a long term disability claim. The decrease of $1.2 million in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily the result of a decrease in supplementary contracts of $3.8 million due to the decline in the reserves. This was offset by increases in immediate annuity benefit payments and reserve changes of $1.9 million.  
 
          Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances — Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances was $55.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.0%, from $54.2 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The increase was the result of higher interest crediting of $4.3 million in the Company’s Protection Product segment due primarily to a $3.5 million increase in CSVUL. This was offset by lower interest crediting of $3.5 million in the Company’s Accumulation Products segment primarily due to lower interest crediting on single premium deferred annuities (“SPDA”) of $1.7 million. During the second quarter of 2001, SPDA account value decreased approximately $20.5 million to $274.8 million as compared to $295.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in account value in 2001 was primarily due to continuing withdrawals, which management believes partially reflects consumer preferences for separate account products.  
 
          Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs — Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) was $65.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $9.2 million, or 12.3%, from $74.7 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The decrease consisted primarily of lower DAC amortization in the Protection Product segment and the Accumulation Products segment of $5.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The decrease in DAC in the Protection product segment was due to lower universal life and variable universal life of $4.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively due to higher death claims. The decrease in DAC amortization in the Accumulation Products segment primarily resulted from lower amortization in FPVA of $4.2 million due to an adjustment to future expected profitability due to higher surrender charges received per dollar of surrender benefits and lower anticipated trailer costs.  
 
          Dividends to policyholders — Dividends to policyholders were $115.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $5.3 million, or 4.8%, from $109.9 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The increase, substantially all of which occurred in the Protection Products segment, resulted from an increase in the deferred dividend liability established in the Closed Block as of June 30, 2001, as compared to June 30, 2000.  
 
          Other operating costs and expenses — Other operating costs and expenses were $401.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $128.4 million, or 47.1%, from $272.6 million reported for the comparable prior year period. This increase consisted of $150.0 million for the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment, resulting from the acquisition of Advest and $10.3 higher interest expense resulting from the financing of the Advest acquisition. Offsetting these increases was $30.0 million lower compensation.  
 
New Business Information  
 
          The Company distributes its Protection and Accumulation products primarily through its career agency sales force and various complementary distribution channels which include: (i) sales of proprietary retail mutual funds through third party broker-dealers, (ii) sales of Protection Products by the Company’s USFL subsidiary through brokerage general agencies, (iii) sales of COLI products by the Company’s corporate marketing team, and (iv) sales of a variety of financial products and services through the Company’s Trusted Advisors subsidiary. The table below and discussion which follows present certain information with respect to the Company’s sales of protection and accumulation products during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 by source of distribution. Management uses this information to measure the Company’s sales production from period to period by source of distribution.  
 
          The amounts presented with respect to life insurance sales represent annualized statutory-basis premiums. Annualized premiums in the Protection Products segment represent the total premium scheduled to be collected on a policy or contract over a twelve-month period. Pursuant to the terms of certain of the policies and contracts issued by the Company, premiums and deposits may be paid or deposited on a monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual basis. Annualized premium does not apply to single premium paying business. All premiums received on COLI business and single premium paying policies during the periods presented are included. Statutory basis premiums are used in lieu of GAAP basis premiums because, in accordance with statutory accounting practices, revenues from all classes of long-duration contracts are measured on the same basis, whereas GAAP provides different revenue recognition rules for different classes of long-duration contracts as defined by the requirements of SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, and SOP 95-1, Accounting for Certain Insurance Activities of Mutual Life Insurance Enterprises. The amounts presented with respect to annuity and mutual fund sales represent deposits made by customers during the periods presented.  
 
          The amounts presented with respect to the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment represent fees earned by Advest, Matrix and MSC primarily from securities brokerage, investment banking and asset management services.

Protection Product Segment  
 
 
Protection Products Segment — New Business Information for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000  
 
          Total new annualized and single life insurance premiums for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 were $47.8 million, compared with $56.8 million during the comparable prior year period. Recurring premiums increased to $28.4 million during the quarter compared to $23.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000. USFL sales were $12.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001, compared to $11.2 million during the comparable 2000 period due to an increase in universal life sales.  

 
          New life insurance premiums (first-year and single premiums) through the career network remained steady for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001at $21.2 million compared to $23.0 million for the comparable prior year period.

Sales of COLI and BOLI were $13 million, compared with $21 million during the second quarter of 2000. The decrease in sales reflects an increase in competition in the marketplace. In addition, corporate sales are large-premium cases, which typically generate revenues that can fluctuate considerably from quarter-to-quarter.

Accumulation Products Segment — New Business Information for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2000  
 
          Accumulation sales were $458 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $599 million in the comparable prior year period.

2001 Restructuring  
 
          In 2001, the Company announced its intention to restructure its businesses and reduce expenses by approximately $35 million. Management expects such plans to be substantially finalized by year end. As a result the Company expects to incur restructuring charges aggregating at least $50 million in the future. As part of this initiative, Advest announced in June 2001 a plan to outsource its back office processing operations which will result in cost savings of approximately $12 million. See Note 2 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include elsewhere herein.  
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources  
 
 
MONY Group  
 
          MONY Group’s cash flow consists of investment income from its invested assets (including interest from the inter-company surplus notes, as hereafter defined) and dividends from MONY Life, if declared and paid, offset by expenses incurred in connection with the administration of MONY Group’s affairs and interest expense on its outstanding indebtedness. As a holding company, MONY Group’s ability to meet its cash requirements, pay interest expense on its outstanding indebtedness, and pay dividends on its Common Stock substantially depend upon payments from its subsidiaries, including the receipt of; (i) dividends, (ii) interest income on the inter-company surplus notes, and (iii) other payments. The payment of dividends by MONY Life to MONY Group is regulated under state insurance law. In addition, payments of principal and interest on the inter-company surplus notes can only be made with the prior approval of the New York Superintendent whenever, in his judgment, the financial condition of such insurer warrants. Such payments may be made only out of surplus funds which are available for such payments under the New York Insurance Law.  
 
          In August 2001, MONY Life paid a dividend to MONY Group in the amount of $100.0 million.  
 
 
Issuance of Senior Notes and Repurchase of Senior Notes  
 
          On January 12, 2000, the MONY Group filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register certain securities (the “Shelf Registration”). This registration, provides the Company with a vehicle to offer various securities to the public, when it deems appropriate, to raise proceeds up to an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion in the aggregate for all issuances of securities thereunder. See the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include elsewhere herein.  
 
 
Capitalization  
 
          The Company’s total capitalization, excluding accumulated comprehensive income and short term debt, increased to $2,760.4 million at June 30, 2001, as compared to $2,597.0 million at December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in paid in capital from the issuance of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Advest. The Company’s debt to equity and debt to total capitalization ratios (excluding accumulated comprehensive income and short term debt) decreased to 26.9% and 21.2% at June 30, 2001, respectively, from 28.0% and 22.0% at December 31, 2000, respectively.  
 
 
MONY Life  
 
          MONY Life’s cash inflows are provided mainly from life insurance premiums, annuity considerations and deposit funds, investment income and maturities and sales of invested assets. Cash outflows primarily relate to the liabilities associated with its various life insurance and annuity products, dividends to policyholders, operating expenses, income taxes, acquisitions of invested assets, and principal and interest on its outstanding debt obligations. The life insurance and annuity liabilities relate to the MONY Life’s obligation to make benefit payments under its insurance and annuity contracts, as well as the need to make payments in connection with policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans.

          Annuity surrenders have decreased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the comparable prior year period reflecting the Company’s conservation efforts and positive effects of the exchange program.  
 
          The Company’s principle sources of liquidity to meet cash outflows are its portfolio of liquid assets and its net operating cash flow. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 the net cash outflow from operations was $(52.8) million, a $(23.2) million decrease from June 30, 2000 which was $(29.6) million. The decrease primarily relates to lower payments from the Group Pension Transaction, higher interest payments on corporate debt, net operating cash outflow on recently acquired subsidiaries and higher general expenses offset in part by lower tax payments. The Company’s liquid assets include substantial U.S. Treasury holdings, short-term money market investments and marketable long-term fixed maturity securities. Management believes that the Company’s sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its anticipated needs. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had readily marketable fixed maturity securities with a carrying value of $6,527.4 million (including fixed maturities in the Closed Block), which were comprised of $3,498.0 million public and $3,029.4 million private fixed maturity securities. At that date, approximately 91.7% of the Company’s fixed maturity securities were designated in NAIC rating categories 1 and 2 (considered investment grade, with a rating of “Baa” or higher by Moody’s or “BBB” or higher by S&P). In addition, at June 30, 2001 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $760.7 million (including cash and cash equivalents in the Closed Block).  

INVESTMENTS  
 
          The Company’s invested assets are allocated between the Closed Block and operations outside the Closed Block. In view of the similar asset quality characteristics of the major asset categories in the two portfolios, the invested assets in the Closed Block have been combined with the Company’s invested assets outside the Closed Block for purposes of the following discussion and analysis. In addition, the following discussion excludes invested assets transferred in the Group Pension Transaction. Accordingly, this discussion should be read in conjunction with the summary financial information regarding assets transferred in the Group Pension Transaction presented in Note 5 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  
 
          The following discussion analyzes the results of the major categories of general account invested assets, which includes invested assets of the Closed Block and excludes trading securities of Advest.

The decrease in net investment income yields was primarily due to a decrease in limited partnership income included in the equity securities asset category of $37.7 million and $208.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The net investment income yields excluding the limited partnership income are 6.9% and 6.9% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively and 6.9% and 6.9% for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively.  
 
          The yield on general account invested assets (including net realized gains and losses on investments) was 7.0% and 7.9% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 6.8% and 10.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  
 
Fixed Maturities  
 
          Fixed maturities consist of publicly traded debt securities, privately placed debt securities and small amounts of redeemable preferred stock, and represented 59.3% and 59.6% of total invested assets at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.  
 
          The Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the bond investments of insurers for regulatory reporting purposes and assigns securities to one of six investment categories called “NAIC Designations”. The NAIC Designations closely mirror the Nationally Recognized Securities Rating Organizations’ credit ratings for marketable bonds. NAIC Designations 1 and 2 include bonds considered investment grade (“Baa” or higher by Moody’s, or “BBB” or higher by S&P) by such rating organizations. NAIC Designations 3 through 6 are referred to as below investment grade (“Ba” or lower by Moody’s, or “BB” or lower by S&P).  
 
          The following table presents the Company’s fixed maturities by NAIC Designation and the equivalent ratings of the Nationally Recognized Rating Organizations as of the dates indicated, as well as the percentage, based on fair value, that each designation comprises.

          Of the Company’s total portfolio of fixed maturity securities at June 30, 2001, 91.7% were investment grade and 8.3% were below-investment grade, based on designations assigned by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC.  
 
          The Company reviews all fixed maturity securities at least once each quarter and identifies investments that management concludes require additional monitoring. Among the criteria are: (i) violation of financial covenants, (ii) public securities trading at a substantial discount as a result of specific credit concerns, and (iii) other subjective factors relating to the issuer.  
 
          The Company defines problem securities in the fixed maturity category as securities (i) as to which principal and/or interest payments are in default or are to be restructured pursuant to commenced negotiations or (ii) issued by a company that went into bankruptcy subsequent to the acquisition of such securities or (iii) are deemed to have other than temporary impairments to value.  
 
          The Company defines potential problem securities in the fixed maturity category as securities that are deemed to be experiencing significant operating problems or difficult industry conditions. Typically these credits are experiencing or anticipating liquidity constraints, having difficulty meeting projections/budgets and would most likely be considered a below investment grade risk.  
 
          The Company defines restructured securities in the fixed maturity category as securities where a concession has been granted to the borrower related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that the Company would not have otherwise considered. The Company restructures certain securities in instances where a determination was made that greater economic value will be realized under the new terms than through liquidation or other disposition. The terms of the restructure generally involve some or all of the following characteristics: a reduction in the interest rate, an extension of the maturity date and a partial forgiveness of principal and/or interest. There were no restructured fixed maturities at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.  
 
          As of June 30, 2001 the fair value of the Company’s problem, potential problem and restructured fixed maturities were $50.9 million, $19.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, which, in the aggregate, represented approximately 1.1% of total fixed maturities. As of December 31, 2000, the fair value of the Company’s problem, potential problem and restructured fixed maturities were $54.1 million, $6.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively, which, in the aggregate, represented approximately 0.9% of total fixed maturities.  
 
          At June 30, 2001, the Company’s largest unaffiliated single concentration of fixed maturities was $245.6 million of Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) which represents 2.2% of total invested assets. The largest non-government issuer consists of $202.1 million of notes purchased in connection with the Group Pension Transaction. These notes represent approximately 1.8% of total invested assets at June 30, 2001. No other individual non-government issuer represents more than 0.5% of total invested assets.  

 
          The Company held approximately $1,067.8 million and $1,103.9 million of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Of such amounts, $321.5 million and $338.9 million, or 30.1% and 30.7%, respectively, represented agency-issued pass-through and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) secured by Federal National Mortgage Association, FHLMC, Government National Mortgage Association and Canadian Housing Authority collateral. The balance of such amounts were comprised of other types of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Company believes that its active monitoring of its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and the limited extent of its holdings of more volatile types of mortgage-backed securities mitigate the Company’s exposure to losses from prepayment risk associated with interest rate fluctuations for this portfolio. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, 84.1% and 84.5%, respectively, of the Company’s mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities were assigned an NAIC Designation of 1 at such dates.

Commercial Mortgage Loans  
 
          For commercial mortgages, the carrying value of the largest amount loaned on any one single property aggregated $48.6 million and represented less than 0.5% of general account invested assets as of June 30, 2001. Amounts loaned on 20 properties were $20.0 million or greater, representing in the aggregate 37.9% of the total carrying value of the commercial loan portfolio at the same date. Total mortgage loans to the five largest borrowers accounted in the aggregate for approximately 20.7% of the total carrying value of the commercial loan portfolio and less than 2.8% of total invested assets at June 30, 2001.

          At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had investments in approximately 55 and 53 different limited partnerships which represented 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively, of the Company’s general account invested assets. Investment results for the portfolio are dependent upon, among other things, general market conditions for initial and secondary offerings of common stock. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, investment income from equity partnership interests (which is comprised primarily of the Company’s pro rata share of income reported by partnerships accounted for under the equity method and income recognized upon distribution for partnership investments accounted for under the cost method) was approximately $6.3 million and $44.0 million and $1.5 million and $209.8 million, respectively.

ITEM 3.  
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK  
 
          Quantitative and qualitative disclosure regarding the Company’s exposures to market risk, as well as the Company’s objectives, policies and strategies relating to the management of such risks, is set forth in the MONY Group’s 2000 Annual Report. The relative sensitivity to changes in fair value from interest rates and equity prices at June 30, 2001 is not materially different from that presented in MONY Group’s 2000 Annual Report except as described below with respect to the recently acquired subsidiary, Advest.  
 
Risk Management  
 
          During its normal course of business, Advest engages in the trading of securities, primarily fixed income, in both a proprietary and market making capacity, and holds securities for trading, rather than investment, purposes. Advest makes a market in certain investment-grade corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds and over-the-counter equities in order to facilitate order flow and accommodate its retail and institutional customers. During the past two years, Advest significantly increased its institutional corporate bond, government agency and mortgage-backed securities trading activities.  
 
Market Risk  
 
          Market risk represents the potential change in the value of financial instruments due to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity and commodity prices. In the course of its trading and hedging activities, the Company is exposed to interest rate and equity price risk.  
 
          The Company is exposed to market risk arising from changes in interest rates. Advest’s management seeks to reduce the risk of its trading portfolio on an aggregate basis. Its risk management activities include inventory and hedging policies. Inventory policies reflect the level of aggregate short and long positions that may be held for trading and are specified by product line. Risk management strategies also include the use of derivatives, principally exchange-traded futures contracts.  
 
          The Company is exposed to equity price risk as a result of making a market in over-the-counter equity securities. Equity price risk arises from changes in the price and volatility of equity securities. In April 1999, a comprehensive review was completed of Advest’s NASDAQ trading activities and the decision was made to reduce overnight inventory and more aggressively manage the number of stocks in which it made a market.  
 
 
Trading Accounts (Value at Risk Analysis)  
 
          For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s market risk disclosure requirements, the Company has performed a value at risk analysis of its trading financial instruments and derivatives. The value at risk calculation uses standard statistical techniques to measure the potential loss in fair value based upon a one-day holding period and a 95% confidence level. These total firm, institutional plus retail positions, computations are performed monthly in order to achieve a better understanding of our entire firm’s risk/return profile. The establishment of improved management controls includes, as needed, the extension of our monitoring process to the security, product, trader, department, and firm wide levels. Most significantly, Advest’s institutional book of business, which represents the vast majority of our usual holdings, is typically monitored daily. Although value at risk models are sophisticated, they can be limited, as historical data is not always an accurate predictor of future conditions. Accordingly, Advest manages its market exposure through other measures, including predetermined trading authorization levels and the hedging requirement policy described previously.  

 
          At June 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 and 1999 Advest’s value at risk for each component of market risk and in total was as follows:

          The potential future loss represented by the total value at risk falls within predetermined levels of loss that are not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Note that in a year over year comparison of an increase in VaR from June 2000 to June 2001 of only about 15% reflected an increase position of more than 45%. Similarly, on a quarter over quarter comparison, there was more than a 50% decrease in VaR. On a per dollar basis, the VaR of June 30, 2000 is the lowest value since we began computing the VaR monthly from November 30, 1999 and yearly from September 30, 1997. This is attributable somewhat to diminishing volatility, while it can be mostly attributed to a favorable mix of securities and their corresponding diversification effects.  
 
          The value at risk estimate has limitations that should be considered in evaluating the company’s potential future losses based on the year-end portfolio positions. Recent market conditions may result in statistical relationships that result in a higher value at risk than would be estimated from the same portfolio under different market conditions. In addition, a critical risk management strategy is the active management of portfolio levels to mitigate market risk. The Company’s, and in particular Advest’s, market risk exposure will continue to change with changes in the portfolio and market conditions.
