THE PHOENIX COMPANIES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006




1. Organization and Operations


Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., its subsidiaries and certain sponsored collateralized obligation trusts as described in Note 11. The Phoenix Companies, Inc. is a holding company and our operations are conducted through subsidiaries, the principal ones of which are Phoenix Life Insurance Company, or Phoenix Life, and Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd., or PXP. We have eliminated significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidating these financial statements.



2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies


We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. We have reclassified certain amounts for 2006 to conform with 2007 presentation.


Use of estimates


In preparing these financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We employ significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of deferred policy acquisition costs; policyholder liabilities and accruals; the valuation of intangible assets; the valuation of investments in debt and equity securities and venture capital partnerships; the valuation of deferred tax assets; pension and other postemployment benefits liabilities; and accruals for contingent liabilities. Our significant accounting policies are presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Our interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In our opinion, we have included all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Financial results for the three-month period in 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 2007. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Adoption of new accounting standards


The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $4.0 million increase in reserves for uncertain tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. Including the cumulative effect adjustment, we had approximately $23.9 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would, if recognized, impact the annual effective tax rate upon recognition is approximately $21.0 million. There were no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the first quarter of 2007.


7




It is anticipated that any changes within the next twelve months to the uncertain tax positions recorded as of March 31, 2007 will not result in a material change to our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. We do not anticipate that there will be additional payments made or refunds received within the next twelve months with respect to the years under audit. We do not anticipate any increases to the unrecognized tax benefits that would have a significant impact on the financial position of the Company.


Phoenix and its subsidiaries file consolidated, combined, unitary or separate income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by federal, state and local or foreign authorities for tax years prior to 2002, with the exception of one subsidiary state examination. Our consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns for 2003 and 2002 are currently being examined and we anticipate that the examination will be completed by March 31, 2008. Management has determined that the examination will not result in a material change to our financial position.


We recognize interest and penalties related to amounts accrued on uncertain tax positions and amounts paid or refunded from federal and state income tax authorities in tax expense. The interest and penalties recorded during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 did not have a material impact on the effective tax rate for those periods. We did not have an accrual for the payment of interest or penalties as of January 1, 2007.


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), or SFAS 158. SFAS 158 requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status through comprehensive income in the period in which the changes occur. The funded status of a plan is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation as defined by SFAS 158. Additional minimum pension liabilities, or AML, and related intangible assets are derecognized upon adoption of the new standard. SFAS 158 also requires increased disclosures surrounding defined benefit postretirement plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The new guidance also requires that the plan assets and benefit obligation be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year end effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 158 as of December 31, 2006. The effect, as of that date, increased assets by $9.8 million, increased liabilities by $39.4 million and decreased equity, through accumulated other comprehensive income, by $29.6 million. See Note 13 to these financial statements for additional information related to employee benefit plans.


In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, or SAB 108. SAB 108 provides guidance for how errors should be evaluated to assess materiality from a quantitative perspective. SAB 108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions by either restating prior financial statements or recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. We adopted SAB 108 on December 31, 2006 with no effect to the financial statements.


In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, or SFAS 156. SFAS 156 provides guidance on recognition and disclosure of servicing assets and liabilities and is effective beginning January 1, 2007. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2007 with no material impact on our financial position and results of operations.


Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, or SFAS 155. SFAS 155 resolves certain issues surrounding the accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Our adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.


8




Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Staff Position Nos. SFAS 115-1 and SFAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, or FSP 115-1. FSP 115-1 provides guidance as to the determination of other-than-temporarily impaired securities and requires certain financial disclosures with respect to unrealized losses. These accounting and disclosure requirements largely codify our existing practices as to other-than-temporarily impaired securities and thus, our adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.


Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R), which requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements at the fair value of the instruments issued. In addition, the accounting for certain grants of equity awards to individuals who are retirement eligible on the date of grant has been clarified. SFAS 123(R) states that an employee’s share based award becomes vested at the date that the employee’s right to receive or retain equity shares is no longer contingent on the satisfaction of a market, performance or service condition. Accordingly, awards granted to retirement eligible employees are not contingent on satisfying a service condition and, therefore, are recognized at fair value on the date of the grant. Additionally, the period over which cost is recognized for awards granted to those who become retirement eligible before the vesting date, will be from the grant date to the retirement eligible date rather than to the vesting date.


In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee, or AcSEC, of the AICPA issued Statement of Position 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts, or SOP 05-1. SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred policy acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, or SFAS No. 97. The SOP defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. This SOP is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2007 with no material effect on our financial position and results of operations.


Accounting standards not yet adopted


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, or SFAS 159. SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and early adoption is permitted provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, at the same time. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on our financial position and results of operations.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or SFAS 157. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 provides guidance on how to measure fair value when required under existing accounting standards. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (“Level 1, 2 and 3”). Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting our estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will focus on the inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and the effects of the measurements in the financial statements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged only in the initial quarter of an entity’s fiscal year. Adoption of this statement is expected to have an impact on our financial statements; however, the timing for adoption and impact has not yet been determined.

3. Business Combinations and Dispositions


Harris Insight Funds


On May 18, 2006, we acquired the rights to advise, distribute and administer the Harris Insight® Funds, now known as the Insight Funds, from Harris Investment Management, Inc., or Harris. Harris continues to manage the majority of the Insight Funds as subadviser. There were $8.0 billion of assets under management related to the Insight Funds at March 31, 2007.


Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC


As a result of a step acquisition completed in 2005, PXP owns 100% of Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC, or KAR. In connection with the purchase, we issued promissory notes to the sellers in the amount of $67.0 million to finance the remainder of the acquisition, of which $9.8 million was paid on January 3, 2006. The remainder plus deferred interest was paid on January 2, 2007. The interest rate on the notes was 4.75%.


Lombard International Assurance S.A.


On January 11, 2005, we disposed of our interests in Lombard International Assurance S.A., or Lombard, for consideration of $59.0 million. In the first quarter of 2007, 2006 and 2005, we realized after-tax gains of $8.9 million, $6.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively, which included earn-out gain consideration received. We do not expect any further consideration related to this sale going forward.


PFG Holdings, Inc.


In 2003, we acquired the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc., or PFG, the holding company for our private placement operation, for initial consideration of $16.7 million. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to $77.4 million to the selling shareholders, including $4.0 million during 2007 based on certain financial performance targets being met, and the balance in 2008 based on the appraised value of PFG as of December 31, 2007. We made no payments during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 related to this obligation.



4. Business Segments


We are a manufacturer of insurance, annuity and investment products. We provide products and services through a wide variety of third-party financial professionals and institutional consultants.


We have two reportable operating segments—Life and Annuity and Asset Management. Businesses that are not sufficiently material to warrant separate disclosure as well as interest expense on indebtedness are included in Corporate and Other.


The Life and Annuity segment includes individual life insurance and annuity products including universal life, variable universal life, term life and fixed and variable annuities. It also includes the results of our closed block, which consists primarily of participating whole life products. We allocate capital to our Life and Annuity segment based on risk-based capital for our insurance products. We used 300% of risk-based capital levels for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Capital within our life insurance companies that is unallocated is included in Corporate and Other operations.


Within Asset Management, we focus on two customer groups—retail investors and institutional clients. We provide investment management services to retail customers through open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and managed accounts. Managed accounts include intermediary programs sponsored and distributed by non-


10




affiliated broker-dealers, and direct managed accounts which are sold and administered by us. We also provide transfer agency, accounting and administrative services to our open-end mutual funds.


Through our institutional group, we provide investment management services primarily to corporations, multi-employer retirement funds and foundations, as well as to endowment and special purpose funds. In addition, we manage structured finance products, including collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, backed by portfolios of assets, for example, public high yield bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities or bank loans. See Note 11 to these financial statements for additional information.


Our investment management services are provided by wholly owned managers as well as unaffiliated managers through sub-advisory agreements. We provide managers with consolidated distribution and administrative support, thereby allowing each manager to focus on investment management. We monitor the quality of the managers’ products by assessing their performance, style consistency and the discipline with which they apply their investment processes.


Asset Management’s capital is its historical capital.


Corporate and Other includes corporate operations that are not allocated to business segments. Corporate operations consist primarily of:

 

· 

 

interest expense;

· 

 

wind-down businesses which include group pension, guaranteed investment contract business and international operations that do not meet the criteria to be separately disclosed; and

· 

 

investment income on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral, as well as interest expense on non-recourse collateralized obligations, both related to two consolidated collateralized obligation trusts we sponsor.


The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in our “Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 2 to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We allocate net investment income based on the assets allocated to the segments. We allocate certain costs and expenses to the segments based on a review of the nature of the costs, time studies and other methodologies.


In managing our business, we analyze segment performance on the basis of “operating income” which does not equate to “net income” as determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, it is the measure of profit or loss we use to evaluate performance, allocate resources and manage our operations.


Operating income is calculated by excluding realized investment gains (losses) and certain other items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments. The size and timing of realized investment gains and losses are often subject to our discretion. Certain other items are also excluded from operating income if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. While some of these items may be significant components of net income in accordance with GAAP, we believe that operating income, and measures that are derived from or incorporate operating income, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the earnings attributable to the ongoing operations of the business.


The criteria used to identify an item that will be excluded from operating income include: whether the item is infrequent and is material to the segment’s income; or whether it results from a change in regulatory requirements, or relates to other unusual circumstances. Items excluded from operating income may vary from period to period. Because these items are excluded based on our discretion, inconsistencies in the application of our selection criteria may exist. Operating income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies. However, we believe that the presentation of operating income as measured for management purposes enhances the understanding of results of operations by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors of our business.

5. Demutualization and Closed Block


In 1999, we began the process of reorganizing and demutualizing our then principal operating company, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company. We completed the process in June 2001, when all policyholder membership interests in this mutual company were extinguished and eligible policyholders of the mutual company received shares of common stock of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., together with cash and policy credits, as compensation. To protect the future dividends of these policyholders, we also established a closed block for their existing policies.


Because closed block liabilities exceed closed block assets, we have a net closed block liability at each period-end. This net liability represents the maximum future earnings contribution to be recognized from the closed block and the change in this net liability each period is in the earnings contribution recognized from the closed block for the period. To the extent that actual cash flows differ from amounts anticipated, we may adjust policyholder dividends. If the closed block has excess funds, those funds will be available only to the closed block policyholders. However, if the closed block has insufficient funds to make policy benefit payments that are guaranteed, the payments will be made from assets outside of the closed block.

During 2005, we issued $67.0 million of promissory notes in connection with our acquisition of the minority interest in KAR. The first installment of $9.8 million plus interest was paid on January 3, 2006. The remaining installment of $57.2 million plus deferred interest was paid in January 2007. The interest rate on the notes was 4.75%. See Note 3 to these financial statements for more information on our acquisition of KAR.


Our 7.15% surplus notes are an obligation of Phoenix Life and are due December 15, 2034. The carrying value of the 2034 notes is net of $1.0 million of unamortized original issue discount. Interest payments are at an annual rate of 7.15%, require the prior approval of the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York and may be made only out of surplus funds which the Superintendent determines to be available for such payments under New York Insurance Law. The notes may be redeemed at the option of Phoenix Life at any time at the “make-whole” redemption price set forth in the offering circular. New York Insurance Law provides that the notes are not part of the legal liabilities of Phoenix Life.


On June 6, 2006, we amended and restated our existing $150 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility, dated as of November 22, 2004 (the “Original Facility” and as so amended and restated, the “Amended Facility”). The financing commitments under the Amended Facility will terminate on June 6, 2009. The amendments to the terms of the Original Facility set forth in the Amended Facility include, but are not limited to, (i) the elimination of a $750 million limit on aggregate indebtedness, (ii) the modification of certain covenants and other provisions to permit a monetization or securitization of the closed block of specified life and annuity policies established in the Plan of Reorganization of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, and (iii) the permission of

acquisitions and joint ventures which satisfy certain additional specified conditions. These conditions include, among other things, majority lender consent in the event the aggregate amount of consideration payable exceeds $400 million in respect of all acquisitions and joint ventures during the term of the agreement, excluding those to which the lenders have previously provided consent.


We were in compliance with all of our credit facility covenants at March 31, 2007.


Common stock dividends


On April 26, 2007, we declared a dividend of $0.16 per share, payable on July 11, 2007 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2007. In the prior year, we declared a dividend of $0.16 per share on April 27, 2006 to our shareholders of record on June 13, 2006; we paid that dividend on July 11, 2006.



10. Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features


Separate account products are those for which a separate investment and liability account is maintained on behalf of the policyholder. Investment objectives for these separate accounts vary by fund account type, as outlined in the applicable fund prospectus or separate account plan of operations. Our separate account products include variable annuities and variable life insurance contracts. The assets supporting these contracts are carried at fair value and reported as Separate account assets with an equivalent amount reported as Separate account liabilities. Amounts assessed against the policyholder for mortality, administration, and other services are included within revenue in Insurance and investment product fees. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to a separate account.


Many of our variable contracts offer various guaranteed minimum death, accumulation, withdrawal and income benefits. These benefits are offered in various forms as described in the footnotes to the table below. We currently reinsure a significant portion of the death benefit guarantees associated with our in-force block of business. We establish policy benefit liabilities for minimum death and income benefit guarantees relating to certain annuity policies as follows:

 

· 

 

Liabilities associated with the guaranteed minimum death benefit, or GMDB, are determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating the liabilities are generally consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs.

· 

 

Liabilities associated with the guaranteed minimum income benefit, or GMIB, are determined by estimating the expected value of the income benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used for calculating such guaranteed income benefit liabilities are generally consistent with those used for calculating the guaranteed death benefit liabilities.


For annuities with GMDB, 500 stochastically generated scenarios were used. For annuities with GMIB, we used 1,000 stochastically generated scenarios.

The reinsurance recoverable asset related to the GMDB was $39.2 million and $39.2 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.


The GMDB and GMIB guarantees are recorded in policy liabilities and accruals on our balance sheet. Changes in the liability are recorded in policy benefits, excluding policyholder dividends, on our statement of operations. In a manner consistent with our policy for deferred policy acquisition costs, we regularly evaluate estimates used and adjust the additional liability balances, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.


We also offer certain variable products with a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, or GMWB, and a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit, or GMAB.


The GMWB guarantees the policyholder a minimum amount of withdrawals and benefit payments over time, regardless of the investment performance of the contract, subject to an annual limit. Optional resets are available. In addition, we introduced a feature for these contracts beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 that allows the policyholder to receive the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount for as long as they are alive.


The GMAB rider provides the contract holder with a minimum accumulation of their purchase payments deposited within a specific time period, adjusted for withdrawals, after a specified amount of time determined at the time of issuance of the variable annuity contract.


The GMWB and GMAB represent embedded derivatives in the variable annuity contracts that are required to be reported separately from the host variable annuity contract. They are carried at fair value and reported in policyholder deposit funds. The fair value of the GMWB and GMAB obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the lives of the contracts, incorporating expectations concerning policyholder behavior. As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions.


As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the embedded derivative for GMWB and GMAB was immaterial. There were no benefit payments made for the GMWB or GMAB during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 or 2006.


23




As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 100% of the aggregate account value with the GMWB and GMAB features was not reinsured. In order to minimize the volatility associated with the unreinsured liabilities, we have established an alternative risk management strategy. In 2006, we began hedging our GMAB exposure using equity options, equity futures and swaps. These investments are included in other investments on our balance sheet.


For those guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. For guarantees of benefits that are payable upon annuitization, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity payments available to the policy holder determined in accordance with the terms of the contract in excess of the current account balance. For guarantees of accumulation balances, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the guaranteed minimum accumulation balance minus the current account balance.

_______

(1)

Return of premium: The death benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals).

(2)

Step Up: The death benefit is the greater of current account value, premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) or the annual step up amount prior to the eldest original owner attaining a certain age. On and after the eldest original owner attains that age, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or the death benefit at the end of the contract year prior to the eldest original owner’s attaining that age plus premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) made since that date.

(3)

EEB: The death benefit is the greater of the premiums paid (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) or the current account value plus the EEB. The EEB is an additional amount designed to reduce the impact of taxes associated with distributing contract gains upon death.

(4)

Greater of Annual Step Up and Annual Roll Up: The death benefit is the greater of premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals), the annual step up amount, the annual roll up amount or the currant account value prior to the eldest original owner attaining age 81. On and after the eldest original owner attained age 81, the death benefit is the greater of current account value or the death benefit at the end of the contract year prior to the eldest original owner’s attained age of 81 plus premium payments (less any adjusted partial withdrawals) made since that date.


Liabilities for universal life are generally determined by estimating the expected value of losses when death benefits exceed revenues and recognizing those benefits ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used in estimating these liabilities are consistent with those used for amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. A single set of best estimate assumptions is used since these insurance benefits do not vary significantly with capital markets volatility. At March 31, 2007, we held additional universal life benefit reserves of $17.2 million.

11. Investments Pledged as Collateral and Non-recourse Collateralized Obligations


We are involved with various entities in the normal course of business that are deemed to be variable interest entities and, as a result, we are deemed to hold interests in those entities. We serve as the investment advisor to eight collateralized obligation trusts that were organized to take advantage of bond market arbitrage opportunities, including the two in the table below. These eight collateralized obligation trusts are investment trusts with aggregate assets of $5.1 billion that are primarily invested in a variety of fixed income securities acquired from third parties. These collateralized obligation trusts, in turn, issued tranched collateralized obligations and residual equity securities to third parties, as well as to our principal life insurance subsidiary’s general account. The collateralized obligation trusts reside in bankruptcy remote special purpose entities for which we provide neither recourse nor guarantees. Accordingly, our sole financial exposure to these collateralized obligation trusts stems from our life insurance subsidiary’s general account direct investment in certain debt or equity securities issued by these collateralized obligation trusts and our asset management affiliates’ advisory services. Our maximum exposure to loss with respect to our life insurance subsidiary’s direct investment in the eight collateralized obligation trusts is $10.1 million at March 31, 2007 (none of which relates to trusts that are consolidated). Of that exposure, $8.4 million (none of which relates to trusts that are consolidated) relates to investment grade debt securities.


We consolidated two collateralized obligation trusts as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, we had no direct investment in these two consolidated collateralized obligation trusts. We recognized investment income on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral, net of interest expense on collateralized obligations and applicable minority interest of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the consolidated collateralized obligation trusts.


Assets pledged as collateral are comprised of available-for-sale debt and equity securities at fair value of $252.2 million and $267.8 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. In addition, cash and accrued investment income of $11.3 million and $5.0 million are included in these amounts at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

There are no minority interest liabilities related to third-party equity investments in the consolidated variable interest entities at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Gross unrealized losses related to debt securities pledged as collateral whose fair value is less than the security’s amortized cost total $20.7 million at March 31, 2007. Debt securities with a fair value less than 80% of the security’s amortized cost total $1.7 million at March 31, 2007. The majority of these debt securities are investment grade issues that continue to perform to their original contractual terms at March 31, 2007.


We recognized no charge to earnings in the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to the other-than-temporary impairment of debt securities pledged as collateral.


The effect of the method of consolidation of the collateralized debt obligation trusts was to increase our net income by $0.2 million and decrease it $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and to decrease our stockholders’ equity by $71.3 million and $71.2 million as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.


The above impact to net income and stockholders’ equity primarily relate to realized and unrealized investment and derivative cash flow gains and losses within the collateralized obligation trusts, which will ultimately be borne by third-party investors in the non-recourse collateralized obligations. Accordingly, these losses and any future gains or losses under this method of consolidation will ultimately reverse upon the deconsolidation, maturity or other liquidation of the non-recourse collateralized obligations.


GAAP requires us to consolidate all the assets and liabilities of these collateralized obligation trusts, which results in the recognition of realized and unrealized losses even though we have no legal obligation to fund such losses in the settlement of the collateralized obligations.


The amount of derivative cash flow hedge ineffectiveness recognized on these collateralized obligation trusts for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 decreased realized gains of $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.



12. Income Taxes


For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the effective income tax rates applicable to income from continuing operations differ from the 35.0% U.S. federal statutory tax rate. Items giving rise to the differences and the effects are as follows:

(254.6%)


Our effective income tax expense rate of 29.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 varies from the expected annual effective tax rate applied to recurring items of 31.3% primarily due to the effects of realized gain adjustments, as described further in Note 17. The estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to recurring income items for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 was 30.8%. Throughout the year, we will re-evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate and make adjustments as necessary.


Our federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the IRS and estimated provisions are routinely provided in the financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The current periods being audited by the IRS are the 2003 and 2002 tax years. While it is often difficult to predict the outcome of these audits, including the timing of any resolution of any particular tax matter, we believe that our reserves, as recorded on the balance


26




sheet, are adequate for all open tax years. Unfavorable resolution of any particular issue could result in additional use of cash to pay liabilities that would be deemed owed to the IRS. Additionally, any unfavorable or favorable resolution of any particular issue could result in an increase or decrease, respectively, to our effective income tax rate to the extent that our estimates differ from the ultimate resolution.


See Note 2 to these financial statements for information regarding the implementation of FIN 48.

Stock options


We have stock option plans under which we grant options for a fixed number of common shares to employees and non-employee directors. Our options have an exercise price equal to the market value of the shares at the date of grant. Each option, once vested, entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock. The employees’ options vest over a three-year period while the directors’ options vested immediately. For stock options awarded, we recognize expense over the vesting period equal to their fair value at issuance.

16. Contingent Liabilities


Litigation and Arbitration


We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation and arbitration naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, employer, investor, investment advisor or taxpayer. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all legal or arbitration proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. We believe that the outcomes of our litigation and arbitration matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and arbitration, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.


Regulatory Matters


State regulatory bodies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD, and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted.


29




For example, during 2004 and 2003, the New York State Insurance Department conducted its routine quinquennial financial and market conduct examination of Phoenix Life and its New York domiciled life insurance subsidiary and the SEC conducted examinations of certain Phoenix Life variable products and certain Phoenix Life affiliated investment advisers and mutual funds. The New York State Insurance Department’s report, for the five-year period ending December 31, 2002, cited no material violations. In 2004, the NASD also commenced examinations of two Phoenix broker-dealers; the examinations were closed in April 2005 and November 2004, respectively.


In February 2005, the NASD notified the Company that it was asserting violations of trade reporting rules by a PXP subsidiary. The Company responded to the NASD allegations in May 2005. Thereafter, in January 2007, the NASD notified the Company that the matter was being referred for potential violations and possible action.  On May 3, 2007, the NASD accepted a letter of acceptance, waiver and consent submitted by the PXP subsidiary to resolve this matter.  Without admitting or denying the NASD’s findings, in accordance with the terms of the letter the PXP subsidiary agreed to a censure, to pay a fine of $8,000 and to revise its supervisory procedures.


In addition, Federal and state regulatory authorities from time to time make inquiries and conduct examinations regarding compliance by Phoenix Life and its subsidiaries with securities and other laws and regulations affecting their registered products. We endeavor to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted. There has been a significant increase in federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies, with a number of recent regulatory inquiries focusing on late-trading, market timing and valuation issues. Our products entitle us to impose restrictions on transfers between separate account sub-accounts associated with our variable products.


In 2005 and 2004, the Boston District Office of the SEC conducted a compliance examination of certain of the Company’s affiliates that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Following the examination, the staff of the Boston District Office issued a deficiency letter primarily focused on perceived weaknesses in procedures for monitoring trading to prevent market timing activity. The staff requested the Company to conduct an analysis as to whether shareholders, policyholders and contract holders who invested in the funds that may have been affected by undetected market timing activity had suffered harm and to advise the staff whether the Company believes reimbursement is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. A third party was retained to assist the Company in preparing the analysis. Based on this analysis, the Company advised the SEC that it does not believe that reimbursement is appropriate.


Over the past several years, a number of companies have announced settlements of enforcement actions with various regulatory agencies, primarily the SEC and the New York Attorney General’s Office. While no such action has been initiated against us, it is possible that one or more regulatory agencies may pursue this type of action against us in the future.


Financial services companies have also been the subject of broad industry inquiries by state regulators and attorneys general which do not appear to be company-specific. In this regard, in 2004, we received a subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General’s office requesting information regarding certain distribution practices since 1998. Over 40 companies received such a subpoena. We cooperated fully and have had no further inquiry since filing our response.


In May 2005, we received a subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General’s office and an inquiry from the Connecticut Insurance Department requesting information regarding finite reinsurance. We cooperated fully and have had no further inquiry since responding.


These types of regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify, may seek recovery of indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, and the nature and magnitude of their outcomes may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending inquiries, investigations, legal proceedings and other regulatory actions, or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, we believe that their outcomes are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to


30




have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions and the inherent unpredictability of regulatory matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.


Discontinued Reinsurance Operations


In 1999, we discontinued our reinsurance operations through a combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain retained group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off. We adopted a formal plan to stop writing new contracts covering these risks and to end the existing contracts as soon as those contracts would permit. However, we remain liable for claims under contracts which have not been commuted.


For example, we participate in a workers’ compensation reinsurance pool formerly managed by Unicover Managers, Inc., or Unicover. The pool ceased accepting new risks in early 1999. Further, we were a retrocessionaire (meaning a reinsurer of other reinsurers) of the Unicover pool. We have been involved in disputes relating to the activities of Unicover. These disputes have been substantially resolved or settled.


Our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance operations also include other (non-Unicover) workers’ compensation reinsurance contracts and personal accident reinsurance contracts, including contracts assumed in the London market. We are engaged in arbitrations, disputes or investigations with several ceding companies over the validity of, or amount of liabilities assumed under, their contracts. These arbitrations, disputes and investigations are in various stages.


We bought retrocessional reinsurance for a significant portion of our assumed reinsurance liabilities. Some of the retrocessionaires have disputed the validity of, or amount of liabilities assumed under, their contracts with us. Most of these disputes with retrocessionaires have been resolved or settled. The remaining arbitrations and disputes are at various stages.


We have established reserves for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves are based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect from our retrocessionaires and the likely legal and administrative costs of winding down the business.


We expect our reserves and reinsurance to cover the run-off of the business; however, unfavorable or favorable claims and/or reinsurance recovery experience is reasonably possible and could result in our recognition of additional losses or gains, respectively, in future years. Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings, as well as the lack of sufficient claims information, the range of any reasonably possible additional future losses or gains is not currently estimable. However, it is our opinion, based on current information and after consideration of the provisions made in these financial statements, that any future adverse or favorable development of recorded reserves and/or reinsurance recoverables will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Nevertheless, it is possible that future developments could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods.

17. Accounting Adjustment


During the first quarter of 2007, we identified certain items that required adjustment. The adjustments relate primarily to two areas:

 

·  

 

Overaccrual of interest expense. Between 2002 and 2006, interest was accrued on a note payable for more than was owed. The effect was immaterial in any one period and accumulated over several years to an overaccrual of approximately $1.4 million after-tax.

·  

 

Under reporting of realized investment gains. We did not reflect approximately $2.7 million of after-tax realized investment gains associated primarily with the sale of a subsidiary in 1999. Instead, these gains were recognized as unrealized gains and included in accumulated other comprehensive income.


Management has evaluated the financial impact of the previously mentioned accounting adjustments and concluded that the effect both individually and in the aggregate was not material to the current year or any prior period. Accordingly, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Instead, we have recorded a cumulative increase to net income in the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $4.1 million after-tax for these adjustments. Of the $4.1 million after-tax adjustment, $2.7 million was related to net realized investment gains and $1.4 million was related to interest expense on indebtedness.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


The discussion in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements. These include statements relating to trends in, or representing management’s beliefs about our future strategies, operations and financial results, as well as other statements including, but not limited to, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “should” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning trends and future developments and their potential effects on us. They are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties which include, among others: (i) movements in the equity markets and interest rates that affect our investment results, the fees we earn from our assets under management, the demand for our variable products and our pension funding obligations; (ii) the possibility that mortality rates or persistency may differ significantly from our pricing expectations; (iii) the availability, pricing and adequacy of reinsurance coverage generally and the inability or unwillingness of our reinsurers to meet their obligations to us specifically; (iv) our dependence on non-affiliated distributors for our product sales, (v) downgrades in the financial strength ratings of our subsidiaries or in our credit ratings; (vi) our dependence on third parties to maintain critical business and administrative functions; (vii) the ability of independent trustees of our mutual funds and closed-end funds, intermediary program sponsors, managed account clients and institutional asset management clients to terminate their relationships with us; (viii) our ability to attract and retain key personnel in a competitive environment; (ix) the poor relative investment performance of some of our equity management strategies and the resulting outflows in our assets under management; (x) the possibility that the goodwill or intangible assets associated with our asset management business could become impaired, requiring a charge to earnings; (xi) heightened competition, including with respect to pricing, entry of new competitors and the development of new products and services by new and existing competitors; (xii) our primary reliance, as a holding company, on dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries to meet debt payment obligations, particularly since our insurance subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory restrictions; (xiii) the potential need to fund deficiencies in our closed block; (xiv) legislative, regulatory, accounting or tax developments that may affect us directly, or indirectly through the cost of, or demand for, our products or services; (xv) legal or regulatory actions; and (xvi) other risks and uncertainties described herein or in any of our filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview


For an overview of our current business and an explanation of the key drivers of our revenues, expenses and overall profitability, please see the “Overview” discussion in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Recent Acquisitions and Dispositions


Harris Insight Funds


On May 18, 2006, we acquired the rights to advise, distribute and administer the Harris Insight® Funds, now known as the Insight Funds, from Harris Investment Management, Inc., or Harris. Harris continues to manage the majority of the Insight Funds as subadviser. There were $8.0 billion of assets under management related to the Insight Funds at March 31, 2007.


Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC


As a result of a step acquisition completed in 2005, Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd., or PXP, owns 100% of Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC, or KAR. In connection with the purchase, we issued promissory notes to the sellers in the amount of $67.0 million to finance the remainder of the acquisition, of which $9.8 million was paid on January 3, 2006. The remainder plus deferred interest was paid on January 2, 2007. The interest rate on the notes was 4.75%.


Lombard International Assurance S.A.


On January 11, 2005, we disposed of our interests in Lombard International Assurance S.A., or Lombard, for consideration of $59.0 million. In the first quarter of 2007, 2006 and 2005, we realized after-tax gains of $8.9 million, $6.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively, which included earn-out gain consideration received. We do not expect any further consideration related to this sale going forward.


PFG Holdings, Inc.


In 2003, we acquired the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc., or PFG, the holding company for our private placement operation, for initial consideration of $16.7 million. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to $77.4 million to the selling shareholders, including $4.0 million during 2007 based on certain financial performance targets being met, and the balance in 2008 based on the appraised value of PFG as of December 31, 2007. We made no payments during the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 related to this obligation.


The Demutualization


Phoenix Home Life demutualized on June 25, 2001 by converting from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company, or Phoenix Life. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for detailed information regarding the demutualization and closed block.


Impact of New Accounting Standards


For a discussion of accounting standards, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.


34




Critical Accounting Estimates


The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting estimates are reflective of significant judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.


See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of those critical accounting estimates.


Executive Overview and Outlook


Consolidated Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007


Consolidated net income was $50.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, a significant increase from net income of $1.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 results reflected solid mortality and persistency for our Life and Annuity segment along with the strong growth from our inforce business over the last several years and improved investment income. The prior year period included an intangible asset impairment charge of $20.1 million, after tax, that did not recur for the first quarter of 2007.


Total life sales, excluding private placements, of $62.3 million were slightly ahead of our expectations and lower that in the first quarter of 2006, which was unusually strong. Annuity deposits increased 44% from the prior year period, reflecting our expanded distribution reach and broader product offerings. Net outflows in annuities declined to $101.5 million from $253.6 million. Asset Management sales had positive overall net flows of $810.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 primarily from strong mutual fund sales and structured products.


Consolidated Financial Condition as of March 31, 2007


Stockholders’ equity increased by $52.7 million to $2,288.8 million at March 31, 2007, due primarily to the increase in net income. Total assets increased $162.1 million to $29.2 billion at March 31, 2007, due primarily to a $221.0 million increase in separate account assets which resulted from strong investment performance for the quarter. This increase was partially offset by a $53.4 million decrease in mortgage loans and a $29.7 million decrease in available-for-sale debt securities. The decrease in mortgages was due to the sale of almost all our remaining mortgages. The decrease in debt securities was necessary to fund withdrawals of policyholder deposit funds, primarily related to discontinued products.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 vs. March 31, 2006


Total revenues increased $25.1million primarily due to the following:

 

· 

 

Investment income, net of expenses, increased 11%, in the first quarter of 2007 from the same period in 2006 due to strong investment performance due primarily to higher income from venture capital, policy loans and other invested assets due to the overall favorable liquidity environment.

· 

 

Insurance and investment product fees increased 13%, in the first quarter of 2007 over the same period in 2006 due to a $14.7 million increase in universal life fees, mainly cost of insurance, or COI, fees resulting from growth of the in-force block of business. Investment product fees increased due primarily to an increase in average assets under management compared to the prior year quarter.


Partially offsetting these increases were the following:


· 

 

Premiums decreased 6% primarily due to a $13.3 million decrease in premiums on the traditional life insurance block, which is comprised mainly of participating life insurance policies which we no longer sell. However, policyholder benefits decreased $5.8 million related to the reduction of in-force policies for traditional life insurance.

· 

 

Net realized investment gains decreased 26% due primarily to significantly lower debt security transaction gains of $5.2 million as compared to $25.3 million in the same period of 2006. The first quarter of 2007 included $13.7 million pre-tax gains related to the Lombard earn-out as compared to $10.0 million pre-tax gains in the same period in 2006. Net realized investment gains also include a favorable adjustment related to prior periods. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on these adjustments.


36




Total benefits and expenses decreased $48.2 million primarily due to the following:

 

· 

 

In the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a $32.5 million impairment charge on $33.4 million of identified intangible assets related to certain investment management contracts. This impairment resulted from the termination of the associated management contracts and related lost revenues. We did not have an impairment charge in the first quarter of 2007.

· 

 

Policyholder benefits decreased 5% in the first quarter of 2007 from the same period in 2006 due principally to lower benefits and reserve changes for participating life insurance of $5.8 million related to the reduction of in-force policies. Interest credited for annuities decreased $7.8 million as a result of the decline in general account funds on deposit, primarily related to discontinued products.

· 

 

Other operating expenses decreased 5% principally due to lower commissions and premium taxes as a result of lower sales over the first quarter of 2006.


Partially offsetting this decrease is the following:

 

· 

 

Policy acquisition cost amortization increased 45% in the first quarter of 2007 over the same period in 2006 due to the higher insurance margins used for the amortization of deferred acquisition costs.


Income before income taxes and minority interest increased $73.3 million primarily due to higher insurance and investment product fees, strong investment performance, lower operating expenses and an intangible asset impairment that did not recur in 2007.


Income tax expense increased to $21.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to an income tax benefit of $2.8 million recorded in the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to pre-tax income of $72.2 million in the 2007 quarter compared to a pre-tax loss of $1.1 million in the 2006 quarter.


Life insurance sales were strong and in line with our expectations for the year. Total life insurance sales were $62.3 million for the first quarter of 2007. Current assumption Universal Life continues to account for the largest percentage of premium, although our mix of business is becoming more diversified, with total variable universal life sales up 126% from the prior year. Our sales were well diversified in terms of distribution, with no single relationship accounting for more than 25% of total sales.


Annuity sales also gained momentum. Annuity deposits for the year, excluding private placements, increased 44% to $132.5 million from $92.2 million. Annuity net outflows, excluding private placements and discontinued products were $25 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $69 million in the comparable period in 2006. Private placement life and annuity deposits, which are not included in the life sales or annuity deposits, were $65.6 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $11.9 million for 2006. Deposits from private placement sales can vary widely quarter to quarter because they involve fewer but significantly larger cases.


Assets under management at March 31, 2007 were $45.7 billion as compared to $37.1 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of 23%. Net positive flows were $810.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared with negative flows of $1.7 billion in the prior year’s first quarter. The positive net flows for the first quarter of 2007 included a $1.5 billion CDO issuance offset by a $227 million liquidation of an existing collateralized bond obligation, or CBO, and net redemptions in some of our other products. Mutual fund sales reached $1.2 billion, an increase of 81% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $640.4 million in the first quarter of 2006. First quarter of 2006 net outflows were driven by redemptions in some of our underperforming equity strategies, primarily related to institutional products and managed accounts.


We ended the first quarter of 2007 in a strong financial position. Stockholders’ equity was $2,288.8 million at March 31, 2007, up from $2,236.1 million at December 31, 2006. This increase was principally due to the increase in net income. Phoenix Life’s statutory capital, surplus and AVR grew $46.2 million to $1,166.5 million at March 31, 2007 from $1,120.3 million December 31, 2006, and we ended the first quarter of 2007 with an estimated risk-based capital ratio well above 400%.


37




Key drivers for continued growth in Life include:

 

· 

 

Strong underwriting expertise, especially for large policies.

· 

 

A complete and competitive core product portfolio, enhanced by innovative products and programs.

· 

 

Expanding distribution, including within our existing State Farm relationship and with new Brokerage General Agency relationships.


In annuities, we are focused on continued improvement through competitive products, focused leadership and targeted distribution strategy.


Key drivers for growth in Asset Management are to:

 

· 

 

leverage our strong-performing proprietary strategies through institutional mandates in defined contribution and defined benefit markets and through structured products;

· 

 

increase mutual fund sales through our enhanced product line-up and focused distribution relationships; and

· 

 

build the business around shared operations, using a consolidated platform for both affiliated advisors and sub-advisors.


Results of Operations by Segment


In managing our business, we analyze segment performance on the basis of “operating income” which does not equate to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, it is the measure of profit or loss used by our management to evaluate performance, allocate resources and manage our operations. We believe that operating income, and measures that are derived from or incorporate operating income, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors as well, because they identify the earnings of, and underlying profitability factors affecting, the ongoing operations of our business.


Operating income is calculated by excluding realized investment gains (losses) and certain other items because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments. The size and timing of realized investment gains (losses) are often subject to our discretion. Certain other items are also excluded from operating income if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. The criteria used to identify an item that will be excluded from operating income include: whether the item is infrequent and is material to the segment’s income; or whether it results from a change in regulatory requirements, or relates to other unusual circumstances.


Items excluded from operating income may vary from period to period. Because these items are excluded based on our discretion, inconsistencies in the application of our selection criteria may exist. Some of these items may be significant components of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, operating income, and other measures that are derived from or incorporate operating income, are not substitutes for net income determined in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies.

Segment Allocations


We allocate capital to our Life and Annuity segment based on risk-based capital, or RBC, for our insurance products. We used a 300% risk-based capital ratio for allocations in 2007 and 2006. Capital within our Life Companies that is unallocated is included in Corporate and Other. Asset Management’s capital is its historical capital. We allocate net investment income based on the assets allocated to the segments. We allocate tax benefits related to tax-advantaged investments to the segment that holds the investment. We allocate certain costs and expenses to the segments based on a review of the nature of the costs, time studies and other methodologies.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 vs. March 31, 2006


Life and Annuity net income and operating income increased in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of higher revenues resulting from an increase in insurance and investment product fees and net investment income.


Insurance and investment product fees increased 15% due principally to higher universal life fees of $12.5 million, primarily cost of insurance fees, resulting from higher sales and growth of inforce business. These revenue increases were partially offset by premium revenue decreasing 6%. This decrease was primarily due to a $13.3 million


39




decrease in participating life insurance premiums. Since our demutualization in 2001, we no longer sell participating life policies, resulting in a decline in renewal participating life premiums.


Net investment income in the first quarter of 2007 improved significantly compared to the prior year period due to higher income from venture capital, policy loans and other invested assets due to the overall favorable liquidity environment.


Total segment benefits and expenses in the first quarter of 2007 increased slightly compared to the prior year period, in large measure due to increased policy acquisition cost amortization due to the higher insurance margins used for the amortization of deferred acquisition costs. This increase was substantially offset by the decline in policy benefits, including policyholder dividends, and the decline in other operating expenses. Policy benefits, including policyholder dividends decreased 1% due principally to lower benefits and reserve changes for participating life insurance and lower interest credited for annuities. Other operating expenses, which include non-deferrable policy acquisition costs and general and administrative costs, decreased 7% due to lower commissions, premium taxes and controllable expenses.

Universal life pre-tax operating income increased 122% primarily due to higher cost of insurance fees, higher net investment income and favorable mortality, partially offset by the increase in deferred policy acquisition cost amortization which resulted from higher insurance margins.


Traditional life pre-tax operating income increased 85% primarily due to higher investment income due to strong investment performance, favorable claims for term insurance and on an older block of corporate-owned life insurance, and lower expenses.


Annuity pre-tax operating income increased 21% primarily due to improved insurance margins and lower commission expenses that resulted from lower account balances in our discontinued products.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 vs. March 31, 2006


Asset Management net income and operating income increased in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the prior year period due primarily to an increase in fees and an impairment charge in the first quarter of 2006 that did not recur.


In the first quarter of 2006, we performed an interim test for impairment on certain definite-lived intangible assets as a result of significant outflows related to these retail products. As a result of these tests, we recorded a $32.5 million pre-tax impairment charge against certain definite-lived intangible assets. In connection with this impairment, as required by SFAS 142, we also performed a test for impairment of the asset management goodwill. No impairment of goodwill was deemed necessary.


Investment product fees and broker-dealer commission and distribution fee revenues increased significantly in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year period. Investment product fees increased 8%. This increase was due primarily to an increase in average assets under management compared to the prior year. Broker-dealer commission and distribution fee revenues increased by 26% due to an increased amount of mutual fund assets under management. Approximately 34% of our management fee revenues were based on assets as of the beginning of a quarter, which causes fee revenues to lag behind changes in assets under management.


Expenses increased during the first quarter of 2007, partially attributable to increased sales of retail products during the period. Specifically, other operating expenses increased 7% due to an increase of $2.7 million in distribution and administration expenses and an increase of $1.5 million in employment expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million due to a reduction in office lease expense and an overall reduction in most general expenses. Distribution and administration expenses increased in 2007 due to the increased amount of mutual fund business. The increase in employment expenses was due to higher incentive compensation (particularly sales incentives), partially offset by a lower salary expense because of a smaller number of employees.


Assets under management were $45.7 billion and $37.1 billion at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in assets under management since March 31, 2006 is due to the acquisition of the contracts to manage the Insight Funds and positive investment performance, partially offset by a $1.7 billion reduction in money market mutual funds, a $0.6 billion reduction in institutional cash management accounts and net outflows of $1.8 billion.


Sales of retail products in 2007 were $1.5 billion, which were $0.5 billion higher than in the prior year period. There was an 81% increase in mutual fund sales, but this was modestly offset by a 12% decrease in managed account sales. Redemptions from existing accounts were $1.6 billion, a 23% improvement versus 2006. Sales of institutional accounts in 2007 were $0.3 billion, a $0.3 billion decrease versus 2006. Lost accounts and withdrawals from existing accounts were $0.5 billion, a 45% improvement versus 2006. Sales of structured financial products were $1.5 billion higher in 2007 due to the issuance of a new product in 2007 versus no new products in 2006. Redemptions for structured products in 2007 were modestly higher than 2006 due to the liquidation of one CBO in 2007.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 vs. March 31, 2006


Corporate and Other net income increased and operating loss decreased in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of higher investment income from the investment of equity units proceeds, lower interest expense from the pay down of debt and lower corporate expenses. It also reflects a favorable $1.4 million after-tax adjustment related to an overaccrual of interest in prior periods. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on these adjustments.


General Account


The invested assets in the Life Companies’ general account are generally of high quality and broadly diversified across asset classes, sectors and individual credits and issuers. Our investment professionals manage these general account assets in investment segments that support specific product liabilities. These investment segments have distinct investment policies that are structured to support the financial characteristics of the related liabilities within them. Segmentation of assets allows us to manage the risks and measure returns on capital for our various businesses and products.


Separate Accounts


Separate account assets are managed in accordance with the specific investment contracts and guidelines relating to our variable products. We generally do not bear any investment risk on assets held in separate accounts. Rather, we receive investment management fees based on assets under management. Assets held in separate accounts are not available to satisfy general account obligations.


Debt and Equity Securities Pledged as Collateral and Non-recourse Collateralized Obligations


Investments pledged as collateral trusts are assets held for the benefit of those institutional clients, which have investments in structured bond products offered and managed by our asset management subsidiary.


See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q as well as Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Enterprise Risk Management


We have implemented a comprehensive, enterprise-wide risk management program, overseen by our Chief Risk Officer, who reports to the Chief Financial Officer. We have also established an Enterprise Risk Management Committee, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, to ensure our risk management principles are followed and our objectives are accomplished. In addition, we have established several management committees overseeing and addressing issues pertaining to all our major risks—product, market and operations—and capital management.


See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our enterprise risk management. There were no material changes in our exposure to operational and market risk exposure at March 31, 2007 in comparison to December 31, 2006.


Debt and Equity Securities Held in Our General Account


Our general account debt securities portfolios consist primarily of investment-grade publicly traded and privately placed corporate bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. As of March 31, 2007, our general account held debt securities with a carrying value of $12,667.1 million, representing 80.7% of total general account investments. Public debt securities represented 74.9% of total debt securities, with the remaining 25.1% represented by private debt securities.


On our consolidated balance sheet we consolidate debt and equity securities that are pledged as collateral for the settlement of collateralized obligation liabilities related to two collateralized obligation trusts we sponsor. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on these debt and equity securities pledged as collateral.

We manage credit risk through industry and issuer diversification. Maximum exposure to an issuer is defined by quality ratings, with higher quality issuers having larger exposure limits. Our investment approach emphasizes a high level of industry diversification. The top five industry holdings as of March 31, 2007 in our debt securities portfolios are banking (6.9%), diversified financial services (4.0%), insurance (3.4%), electrical utilities (3.3%) and real estate investment trusts (2.1%).

Impairment losses on debt and equity securities increased to $1.0 million for the 2007 quarter as compared to $0.9 million for the 2006 quarter. Affiliate transactions of $13.7 million in 2007 and $10.0 million in 2006 are attributable to the Lombard earn-out associated with the sale of Lombard that occurred in the first quarter of 2005.

Total net unrealized gains on debt and equity securities as of March 31, 2007 were $181.0 million (unrealized gains of $320.3 million less unrealized losses of $139.3 million). Of that net amount, net unrealized losses of $21.1 million were outside the closed block ($17.0 million after applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred income taxes) and net unrealized gains of $159.9 million were in the closed block ($0.0 million after applicable policyholder dividend obligation).


At the end of each reporting period, we review all securities for potential recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment. We maintain a watch list of securities in default, near default or otherwise considered by our investment professionals as being distressed, potentially distressed or requiring a heightened level of scrutiny. We also identify securities whose carrying value has been below amortized cost on a continuous basis for zero to six months, greater than six months to 12 months and greater than 12 months. This analysis is provided for investment grade and non-investment grade securities and closed block and outside of closed block securities. Using this analysis, coupled with our watch list, we review all securities whose fair value is less than 80% of amortized cost (significant unrealized loss) with emphasis on below investment grade securities with a continuous significant unrealized loss in excess of six months. In addition, we review securities that had experienced lesser percentage declines in value on a more selective basis to determine if a security is other-than-temporarily impaired.


48




Our assessment of whether an investment by us in a debt or equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired includes whether the issuer has:

 

· 

 

defaulted on payment obligations;

· 

 

declared that it will default at a future point outside the current reporting period;

· 

 

announced that a restructuring will occur outside the current reporting period;

· 

 

severe liquidity problems that cannot be resolved;

· 

 

filed for bankruptcy;

· 

 

a financial condition which suggests that future payments are highly unlikely;

· 

 

deteriorating financial condition and quality of assets;

· 

 

sustained significant losses during the current year;

· 

 

announced adverse changes or events such as changes or planned changes in senior management, restructurings, or a sale of assets; and/or

· 

 

been affected by any other factors that indicate that the fair value of the investment may have been negatively impacted.

The following tables present certain information with respect to our gross unrealized losses with respect to our investments in general account debt securities, both outside and inside the closed block, as of March 31, 2007. In the tables, we separately present information that is applicable to unrealized losses both outside and inside the closed block. We believe it is unlikely that there would be any effect on our net income related to the realization of investment losses inside the closed block due to the current sufficiency of the policyholder dividend obligation liability in the closed block. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding the closed block. Applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes further reduce the effect on our comprehensive income.

For debt securities in the closed block with gross unrealized losses, 89.0% of the unrealized losses pertain to investment grade securities and 11.0% of the unrealized losses pertain to below investment grade securities.


In determining that the securities giving rise to unrealized losses were not other-than-temporarily impaired, we considered many factors, including those cited previously. In making these evaluations, we must exercise considerable judgment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our judgments and that such differences may require the future recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges that could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. In addition, the value of, and the realization of any loss on, a debt security or equity security is subject to numerous risks, including interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The magnitude of any loss incurred by us may be affected by the relative concentration of our investments in any one issuer or industry. We have established specific policies limiting the concentration of our investments in any single issuer and industry and believe our investment portfolio is prudently diversified.

Lombard International Assurance S.A.


On January 11, 2005, we disposed of our interests in Lombard International Assurance S.A., or Lombard, for consideration of $59.0 million. In the first quarter of 2007, 2006 and 2005, we realized after-tax gains of $8.9 million, $6.5 million and $9.3 million, respectively, which included earn-out gain consideration received. We do not expect any further consideration related to this sale going forward.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments such as debt and equity securities. These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations.


Liquidity refers to the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its cash requirements. The following discussion includes both liquidity and capital resources as these subjects are interrelated.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 vs. March 31, 2006


Cash from continuing operations was relatively flat with 2006. Fees collected and investment income received increased $21.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively and policy acquisition costs and expenses paid decreased $15.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively. These increases to cash were offset by lower premiums received of $18.1 million and higher benefits and dividends paid of $34.3 million.


Cash from continuing operations investing activities decreased due principally to lower net sales, related mainly to lower withdrawals of policyholder deposit funds (as described below in financing activities), that reduced the need to generate cash to fund the withdrawals.


Cash used for financing activities decreased due primarily to proceeds received from the settlement of the equity units of $153.7 million in 2006 and the pay off of the KAR debt of $57.2 million in 2007 compared with $9.8 million in 2006. These decreases were partially offset by lower withdrawals of policyholder deposit funds of $96.5 million in 2007 from 2006.


See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on financing activities.


The Phoenix Companies, Inc. Sources and Uses of Cash


Our primary sources of liquidity have been dividends from Phoenix Life and interest income received from PXP. Under New York Insurance Law, Phoenix Life can pay stockholder dividends to the holding company in any calendar year without prior approval from the New York Superintendent of Insurance in the amount of the lesser of 10% of Phoenix Life’s surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or Phoenix


52




Life’s statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Phoenix Life is able to pay a dividend of $92.2 million in 2007 under this provision.


On April 26, 2007, the Phoenix Life Board of Directors declared a dividend of $30.0 million to its sole shareholder, The Phoenix Companies, Inc., which was paid on April 30, 2007. During 2006, the Phoenix Life Board of Directors paid total dividends of $87.5 million to its sole shareholder, The Phoenix Companies, Inc.


On April 26, 2007, we declared a dividend of $0.16 per share, payable on July 11, 2007 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2007. In the prior year, we declared a dividend of $0.16 per share on April 27, 2006 to our shareholders of record on June 13, 2006; we paid that dividend on July 11, 2006.


See Note 22 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on Phoenix Life statutory financial information and regulatory matters.


We sponsor postemployment benefit plans through pension and savings plans and postretirement health care and life insurance for employees of Phoenix Life and PXP. Funding of these obligations is provided by Phoenix Life and PXP on a 100% cost reimbursement basis through administrative services agreements with the holding company. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.


PXP pays interest to the holding company on its debt from the holding company. The holding company does not expect to receive dividends from PXP in the near term because this subsidiary will likely use a substantial portion of its cash flows from operations to repay intercompany debt, including debt to the holding company and interest on debt.


On June 6, 2006, we amended and restated our existing $150 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility, dated as of November 22, 2004 (the “Original Facility” and as so amended and restated, the “Amended Facility”). The financing commitments under the Amended Facility will terminate on June 6, 2009. The amendments to the terms of the Original Facility set forth in the Amended Facility include, but are not limited to: (i) the elimination of a $750 million limit on aggregate indebtedness, (ii) the modification of certain covenants and other provisions to permit a monetization or securitization of the closed block of specified life and annuity policies established in the Plan of Reorganization of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, and (iii) the permission of acquisitions and joint ventures which satisfy certain additional specified conditions. These conditions include, among other things, majority lender consent in the event the aggregate amount of consideration payable exceeds $400 million in respect of all acquisitions and joint ventures during the term of the agreement, excluding those to which the lenders have previously provided consent.


We were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Amended Facility at March 31, 2007.


Ratings


Rating agencies assign Phoenix Life financial strength ratings and assign us debt ratings based in each case on their opinions of the relevant company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. Ratings changes may result in increased or decreased interest costs in connection with future borrowings. Such an increase or decrease would affect our earnings and could affect our ability to finance our future growth. Downgrades may also trigger defaults or repurchase obligations. The financial strength and debt ratings as of March 31, 2007 were as follows:

On March 15, 2007, Standard & Poor’s lowered its senior debt rating on the Company to BBB- from BBB and lowered its financial strength ratings on the Company’s life insurance subsidiaries, including Phoenix Life, to A- from A, while assigning a stable outlook to all of these companies.


These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of our securities.


See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on financing activities.


See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more information on our contingent liabilities.


Life Companies Sources and Uses of Cash


The Life Companies’ liquidity requirements principally relate to: the liabilities associated with various life insurance and annuity products; the payment of dividends by Phoenix Life to us; operating expenses; contributions to subsidiaries; and payment of principal and interest by Phoenix Life on its outstanding debt obligations. Liabilities arising from life insurance and annuity products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans. The Life Companies also have liabilities arising from the runoff of the remaining group accident and health reinsurance discontinued operations.


Historically, our Life Companies have used cash flow from operations and investment activities to fund liquidity requirements. Their principal cash inflows from life insurance and annuities activities come from premiums, annuity deposits and charges on insurance policies and annuity contracts. In the case of Phoenix Life, cash inflows also include dividends, distributions and other payments from affiliates. Principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, proceeds from maturities, sales of invested assets and investment income. The principal cash inflows from our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance operations come from recoveries from other retrocessionaires and investment activities.


See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to liquidity and capital resources related to our Life Companies.


Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. (PXP) Sources and Uses of Cash


PXP’s liquidity requirements are primarily to fund operating expenses and pay its debt and interest obligations. PXP also requires liquidity to fund any potential acquisitions. Historically, PXP’s principal source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. We expect that cash flow from operations will continue to be its principal source of working capital. Its current sources of liquidity also include a revolving credit facility under which it has direct borrowing rights subject to our unconditional guarantee. We believe that PXP’s current and anticipated sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its present and anticipated needs.


See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to liquidity and capital resources related to PXP.

Three months ended March 31, 2007 vs. December 31, 2006


Mortgage loans decreased 74% due to the sale of certain mortgages, principal paydowns and closings with no new purchases.


Other investments increased 10% due primarily to higher real estate partnership investments and increases in derivative asset balances.


Venture capital assets increased 21% due primarily to additional contributions of $23.0 million.


55




Cash decreased 15% due to cash used for financing activities of $165.1 million, offset by cash from investing activities and operating activities of $103.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The cash used for financing activities was primarily related to the pay off of the KAR debt of $57.2 million, and payments of net policyholder deposit fund withdrawals of $101.2 million.

Deferred policy acquisition costs increased 2% due to the deferral of policy acquisition costs of $77.9 million related primarily to universal life sales. This increase was offset by the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of $43.4 million and $5.4 million related to the effect of unrealized investment gains included in other comprehensive income. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.


Separate account assets increased 2% due primarily to favorable investment performance. The separate account liability increased by a corresponding amount.


Policyholder deposit funds decreased 5% due to net outflows, primarily from discontinued annuity products.


Indebtedness decreased 8% due to repayments of the KAR promissory notes of $57.2 million. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for detailed information regarding financing activities.


Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments


As of March 31, 2007, there were no significant changes to our outstanding contractual obligations and commercial commitments as disclosed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Commitments Related to Recent Business Combinations


Under the terms of purchase agreements related to certain recent business combinations, we are subject to certain contractual obligations and commitments related to additional purchase consideration and other purchase arrangements as described in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


As of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for information on variable interest entities.


Reinsurance


We maintain life reinsurance programs designed to protect against large or unusual losses in our life insurance business. Based on our review of their financial statements, reputations in the reinsurance marketplace and other relevant information, we believe that we have no material exposure to uncollectible life reinsurance.


56




Statutory Capital and Surplus and Risk Based Capital


Phoenix Life’s consolidated statutory basis capital and surplus (including AVR) increased from $1,134.8 million at December 31, 2006 to $1,181.5 million at March 31, 2007. The principal factors resulting in this increase are gains from operations of $21.5 million, net realized gains of $7.0 million, higher unrealized gains and a positive change in non-admitted assets.


At March 31, 2007, Phoenix Life’s and each of its insurance subsidiaries’ estimated Total Adjusted Capital levels were in excess of 400% of Company Action Level.


On April 26, 2007, the Phoenix Life Board of Directors declared a dividend of $30.0 million to its sole shareholder, The Phoenix Companies, Inc., which was paid on April 30, 2007. During 2006, the Phoenix Life Board of Directors paid total dividends of $87.5 million to its sole shareholder, The Phoenix Companies, Inc.


Net Capital Requirements


Our broker-dealer subsidiaries are each subject to the net capital requirements imposed on registered broker-dealers by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each is also required to maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that does not exceed 15:1. At March 31, 2007, the largest of these subsidiaries had net capital of approximately $6.7 million, which is $5.9 million in excess of its required minimum net capital of $0.8 million. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital for that subsidiary was 0.7:1. The ratios of aggregate indebtedness to net capital for each of our other broker-dealer subsidiaries were also below the regulatory ratio at March 31, 2007 and their respective net capital each exceeded the applicable regulatory minimum.


Obligations Related to Pension and Postretirement Employee Benefit Plans


As of March 31, 2007, there were no material changes to our obligations related to pension and postretirement employee benefit plans as described in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.


Related Party Transactions


State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, or State Farm, currently owns of record more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we made payments of $14.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively, to State Farm entities for this compensation.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


For information about our management of market risk, see the Enterprise Risk Management section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.



ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can


57




only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


During the three months ended on March 31, 2007, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


58




PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. In addition, various regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers and other laws and regulations affecting our registered products. It is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all legal or regulatory proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. We believe that the outcomes of our litigation and regulatory matters are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation and regulatory matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.



ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


There are no material changes to our Risk Factors as described in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
