Based on current conditions and assumptions as to future events on all policies inforce, the Company expects to amortize approximately 10 percent of the December 31, 2013 balance of the present value of future profits in 2014, 9 percent in 2015, 8 percent in 2016, 7 percent in 2017 and 7 percent in 2018. The discount rate used to determine the amortization of the present value of future profits averaged approximately 5 percent in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, we are required to amortize the present value of future profits in relation to estimated gross profits for interest-sensitive life products and annuity products. Such guidance also requires that estimates of expected gross profits used as a basis for amortization be evaluated regularly, and that the total amortization recorded to date be adjusted by a charge or credit to the statement of operations, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier estimates should be revised.
