NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The preparation of the accompanying unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions (including normal, recurring accruals) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of the financial position of MLOA and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of MLOA for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The terms “third quarter 2011” and “third quarter 2010” refer to the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The terms “first nine months of 2011” and “first nine months of 2010” refer to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2) ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Changes

In April 2011, the FASB issued new guidance for a creditor’s determination of whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The new guidance provided additional guidance to creditors for evaluating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a TDR. The new guidance required creditors to evaluate modifications and restructurings of receivables using a more principles-based approach, which may result in more modifications and restructurings being considered TDR. The financial reporting implications of being classified as a TDR are that the creditor is required to:

• Consider the receivable impaired when calculating the allowance for credit losses; and

• Provide additional disclosures about its troubled debt restructuring activities in accordance with the requirements of recently issued guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses.

The new guidance was effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on MLOA’s financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance for improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, for Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. This guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 except for disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements which was effective for the first quarter of 2011. These new disclosures have been included in the Notes to MLOA’s financial statements, as appropriate.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The guidance is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities with the option of performing a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted for certain companies. Management does not expect that implementation of this guidance will have a material impact on MLOA’s financial statements.

8

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance to amend the existing alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. The amendments eliminate the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. An entity can elect to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements. This guidance will not change the items that constitute net income and other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not expect that implementation of this guidance will have a material impact on MLOA’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure requirements to enhance comparability between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The changes to the existing guidance include how and when the valuation premise of highest and best use applies, the application of premiums and discounts, as well as new required disclosures. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited. Management does not expect that implementation of this guidance will have a material impact on MLOA’s financial statements.

For the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, proceeds received on sales of fixed maturities classified as AFS amounted to $10 million and $63 million, respectively. Gross gains of $1 million and $3 million and gross losses of $1 million and $2 million were realized on these sales for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The change in unrealized investment gains (losses) related to fixed maturities classified as AFS for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010 amounted to $34 million and $139 million, respectively.

MLOA’s investments in fixed maturity securities do not include concentrations of credit risk of any single issuer greater than 10% of the shareholder’s equity of MLOA, other than securities of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies and certain securities guaranteed by the U.S. government. MLOA maintains a diversified portfolio of corporate securities across industries and issuers and does not have exposure to any single issuer in excess of 1.2% of total investments. The largest exposures to a single issuer of corporate securities held at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $27 million and $27 million, respectively. Corporate high yield securities, consisting primarily of public high yield bonds, are classified as other than investment grade by the various rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa3/BBB- or the NAIC designation of 3 (medium grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, approximately $165 million and $175 million, or 8.8% and 9.6%, of the $1,879 million and $1,826 million aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by MLOA were considered to be other than investment grade. These securities had net unrealized losses of $36 million and $30 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

MLOA does not originate, purchase or warehouse residential mortgages and is not in the mortgage servicing business. MLOA’s fixed maturity investment portfolio includes RMBS backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages comprised of loans made by banks or mortgage lenders to residential borrowers with lower credit ratings. The criteria used to categorize such subprime borrowers include FICO scores, interest rates charged, debt-to-income ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Alt-A residential mortgages are mortgage loans where the risk profile falls between prime and subprime; borrowers typically have clean credit histories but the mortgage loan has an increased risk profile due to higher loan-to-value and debt-to-income ratios and/or inadequate documentation of the borrowers’ income. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, MLOA owned $4 million

17

and $5 million, respectively, in RMBS backed by subprime residential mortgage loans and no RMBS backed by Alt-A residential mortgage loans. RMBS backed by subprime and Alt-A residential mortgages are fixed income investments supporting General Account liabilities.

At September 30, 2011, the carrying value of fixed maturities which were non-income producing for the twelve months preceding that date was $2 million.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and 2010, investment income is shown net of investment expenses of $1 million, $3 million, $1 million and $3 million, respectively.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans on real estate are placed on nonaccrual status once management believes the collection of accrued interest is doubtful. Once mortgage loans on real estate are classified as nonaccrual loans, interest income is recognized under the cash basis of accounting and the resumption of the interest accrual would commence only after all past due interest has been collected or the mortgage loan on real estate has been restructured to where the collection of interest is considered likely. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, the carrying values of commercial and agricultural mortgage loans on real estate that had been classified as nonaccrual loans were $7 million and $9 million for commercial and $0 million and $0 million for agricultural, respectively.

5) FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting guidance established a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as an entity’s own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

MLOA defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value determinations are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such adjustments do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time MLOA’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

⁽¹⁾  Includes publicly traded agency pass-through securities and collateralized obligations.

⁽²⁾  Includes credit-tranched securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages and other asset types and credit tenant loans.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, investments classified as Level 1 comprise approximately 43.7% and 50.5% of invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily include redeemable preferred stock, cash equivalents and Separate Accounts assets. Fair value measurements classified as Level 1 include exchange-traded prices of fixed maturities, equity securities and net asset values for transacting subscriptions and redemptions of mutual fund shares held by Separate Accounts. Cash equivalents classified as Level 1 include money market accounts, overnight commercial paper and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, and are carried at cost as a proxy for fair value measurement due to their short-term nature.

23

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, investments classified as Level 2 comprise approximately 54.9% and 47.9% of invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily include U.S. government and agency securities and certain corporate debt securities, such as private fixed maturities. As market quotes generally are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures are determined utilizing relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable securities and often are based on model pricing techniques that effectively discount prospective cash flows to present value using appropriate sector-adjusted credit spreads commensurate with the security’s duration, also taking into consideration issuer-specific credit quality and liquidity. These valuation methodologies have been studied and evaluated by MLOA and the resulting prices determined to be representative of exit values.

Observable inputs generally used to measure the fair value of securities classified as Level 2 include benchmark yields, reported secondary trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data. Additional observable inputs are used when available, and as may be appropriate, for certain security types, such as prepayment, default, and collateral information for the purpose of measuring the fair value of mortgage- and asset-backed securities. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, approximately $29 million and $35 million of AAA-rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as Level 2 for which the observability of market inputs to their pricing models is supported by sufficient, albeit more recently contracted, market activity in these sectors.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, investments classified as Level 3 comprise approximately 1.4% and 1.6% of invested assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily include corporate debt securities. Determinations to classify fair value measures within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy generally are based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. Included in the Level 3 classification at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were approximately $0 million and $18 million of fixed maturities with indicative pricing obtained from brokers that otherwise could not be corroborated to market observable data. MLOA applies various due-diligence procedures, as considered appropriate, to validate these non-binding broker quotes for reasonableness, based on its understanding of the markets, including use of internally-developed assumptions about inputs a market participant would use to price the security. In addition, approximately $36 million and $42 million of mortgage- and asset-backed securities, including CMBS, are classified as Level 3 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011, MLOA continued to apply a risk-adjusted present value technique to estimate the fair value of CMBS securities below the senior AAA tranche due to ongoing insufficient frequency and volume of observable trading activity in these securities. In applying this valuation methodology, MLOA adjusted the projected cash flows of these securities for origination year, default metrics, and level of subordination, with the objective of maximizing observable inputs, and weighted the result with a 10% attribution to pricing sourced from a third party service whose process placed significant reliance on market trading activity.

Level 3 also includes the GMIB reinsurance asset which is accounted for as a derivative contract. The GMIB reinsurance asset’s fair value reflects the present value of reinsurance premiums and recoveries and risk margins over a range of market consistent economic scenarios. The valuation of the GMIB asset incorporates significant non-observable assumptions related to policyholder behavior, risk margins and projections of equity Separate Account funds consistent with the S&P 500 Index. Incremental adjustment is made to the resulting fair values of the GMIB asset to reflect changes in the claims-paying ratings of counterparties to the reinsurance treaties and of MLOA, respectively. After giving consideration to collateral arrangements, MLOA made no adjustment to reduce the fair value of its GMIB asset at September 30, 2011 to recognize incremental counterparty non-performance risk.

In the first nine months of 2011, AFS fixed maturities with fair values of $5 million and $0 million were transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 2 and out of Level 2 and into Level 1, respectively, principally due to the availability of trading activity and/or market observable inputs to measure and validate their fair values. In addition, AFS fixed maturities with fair value of $0 million were transferred into the Level 3 classification. These transfers in the aggregate represent approximately 0.75% of total equity at September 30, 2011.

In the first nine months of 2010, AFS fixed maturities with fair values of $9 million and $1 million were transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 2 and out of Level 2 and into Level 1, respectively, principally due to the availability of trading activity and/or market observable inputs to measure and validate their fair values. In addition, AFS fixed maturities with fair value of $2 million were transferred into the Level 3 classification. These transfers in the aggregate represent approximately 1.8% of total equity at September 30, 2010.

6) GMDB, GMIB AND NO LAPSE GUARANTEE FEATURES

A) Variable Annuity Contracts – GMDB and GMIB

MLOA has certain variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features in-force that guarantee one of the following:

• Return of Premium: the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals);

• Ratchet: the benefit is the greatest of current account value, premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals), or the highest account value on any anniversary up to contractually specified ages (adjusted for withdrawals);

• Roll-Up: the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals) accumulated at contractually specified interest rates up to specified ages; or

• Combo: the benefit is the greater of the ratchet benefit or the roll-up benefit, which may include a five year or an annual reset.

The following table summarizes the GMDB and GMIB liabilities, before reinsurance ceded, reflected in the General Account in future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities:

	GMDB			GMIB			Total

The September 30, 2011 values for variable annuity contracts in-force on such date with GMDB and GMIB features are presented in the following table. For contracts with the GMDB feature, the net amount at risk in the event of death is the amount by which the GMDB benefits exceed related account values. For contracts with the GMIB feature, the net amount at risk in the event of annuitization is the amount by which the present value of the GMIB benefits exceeds related account values, taking into account the relationship between current annuity purchase rates and the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB guarantees may also offer GMIB guarantees in the same contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive:

	Return of   Premium			Ratchet			Roll-Up			Combo			Total
	(Dollars In Millions)
GMDB:

B) Separate Account Investments by Investment Category Underlying GMDB and GMIB Features

The total account values of variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features include amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest option which is part of the General Account and variable investment options that invest through Separate Accounts in variable insurance trusts. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of assets, by major investment category, held by Separate Accounts that support variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. The investment performance of the assets impacts the related account values and, consequently, the net amount of risk associated with the GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB benefits and guarantees may also offer GMIB benefits and guarantees in each contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive:

Investment in Variable Insurance Trust Mutual Funds

C) Variable and Interest-Sensitive Life Insurance Policies - No Lapse Guarantee

The no lapse guarantee feature contained in variable and interest-sensitive life insurance policies keeps them in force in situations where the policy value is not sufficient to cover monthly charges then due. The no lapse guarantee remains in effect so long as the policy meets a contractually specified premium funding test and certain other requirements. At both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, MLOA had liabilities of $1 million for no lapse guarantees reflected in the General Account in Future policy benefits and other policyholders liabilities.

7) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under its service agreement with AXA Equitable, personnel services, employee benefits, facilities, supplies and equipment are provided to MLOA to conduct its business. The associated costs related to the service agreements are allocated to MLOA based on methods that management believes are reasonable, including a review of the nature of such costs and activities performed to support MLOA. As a result of such allocations, MLOA incurred expenses of $13 million, $39 million, $12 million and $37 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and of 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, MLOA reported a payable to AXA Equitable in connection with its service agreement of $11 million and $8 million, respectively.

Various AXA affiliates cede a portion of their life, health and catastrophe insurance business through reinsurance agreements to AXA Global Life (and AXA Cessions in 2009 and prior), AXA affiliated reinsurers. AXA Global Life, in turn, retrocedes a quota share portion of these risks to AXA Equitable and MLOA on a one-year term basis. Premiums and experience refunds earned in third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and 2010 under this arrangement were $($2,000), $115,000, $(58,000) and $233,000, respectively. Claims and expenses paid in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and 2010 were $77,000, $121,000, $(44,000) and $130,000, respectively.

31

MLOA ceded new variable life policies on an excess of retention basis with AXA Equitable and reinsured the no lapse guarantee riders through AXA Financial (Bermuda) Ltd. MLOA reported $82,000, $248,000, $87,000 and $265,000 of ceded premiums for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and of 2010, respectively.

In addition to the AXA Equitable service agreement, MLOA has various other service and investment advisory agreements with affiliates. The expenses incurred by MLOA related to these agreements were $488,000, $1,446,000, $495,000 and $1,498,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and of 2010, respectively.

8) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 and 2010, MLOA recognized compensation cost (credit) of $(448,000), $406,000, $330,000 and $1,173,000, respectively, for share-based payment arrangements.

9) INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for interim periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been computed using an estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is revised, if necessary, at the end of each successive interim period to reflect the current estimate of the annual effective tax rate. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflected a benefit in the amount of $19 million related to the determination that the valuation allowance previously established on deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carry forwards was no longer necessary and a $4 million benefit in settlement of refund claims for tax years 1994 - 1997.

10) LITIGATION

There have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in specific litigations previously reported in MLOA’s Notes to Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, except as set forth below:

Insurance Regulatory Matters

MLOA, along with other life insurance industry companies, has been the subject of various examinations regarding its unclaimed property and escheatment procedures. For example, MLOA has been contacted by a third party auditor acting on behalf of a number of U.S. state jurisdictions reviewing compliance with unclaimed property laws of those jurisdictions. MLOA is cooperating with these examinations.

A number of lawsuits have been filed against life and health insurers in the jurisdictions in which MLOA does business involving insurers’ sales practices, alleged agent misconduct, alleged failure to properly supervise agents, contract administration and other matters. Some of the lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments against other insurers, including material amounts of punitive damages, or in substantial settlements. In some states, juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages. MLOA, like other life and health insurers, from time to time is involved in such litigations. Some of these actions and proceedings filed against MLOA have been brought on behalf of various alleged classes of claimants and certain of these claimants seek damages of unspecified amounts. While the ultimate outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management no such matter is likely to have a material adverse effect on MLOA’s financial position or results of operations. However, it should be noted that the frequency of large damage awards, including large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given matter.

Although the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters cannot be predicted with certainty, MLOA’s management believes that the ultimate resolution of the matters described above should not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of MLOA. MLOA’s management cannot make an estimate of loss, if any, or predict whether or not such litigations and regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on MLOA’s results of operations in any particular period.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis is omitted pursuant to General Instruction H of Form 10-Q. The management narrative for MLOA that follows should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere herein, with the information provided under “Forward-looking Statements” included elsewhere in this report and with the management narrative found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and “Risk Factors” sections included in MLOA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”).

CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS

Our business and results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the capital markets and the economy, generally. Stressed conditions in the economy and volatility and disruptions in the capital markets and/or particular asset classes can have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Recent unfavorable events, including among other things, sluggish economic data (such as persistent high unemployment, weak job creation and declining consumer confidence), concerns over European sovereign debt and the downgrade by Standard & Poors (“S&P”) of the United States’ debt from AAA to AA+ led to declines and increased volatility in the capital markets during third quarter 2011. These events also renewed fears of a double dip recession and may further disrupt economic activity and the recovery in the United States and elsewhere. In addition, recent actions by the United States Federal Reserve including, but not limited to, its decision to keep the federal funds rate exceptionally low through mid-2013 contributed to the decline of long-term interest rates during third quarter 2011. As a result of these events, the S&P 500 declined by approximately 14.3% during the third quarter 2011 and the ten year U.S. Treasury yield decreased by approximately 127 basis points from 3.18% at June 30, 2011 to 1.91% at September 30, 2011.

As a result of these events, many of the risks we face, including those arising from weak economic conditions, equity market declines and/or volatility, interest rate fluctuations and/or prolonged periods of low interest rates could affect (and, in some cases in third quarter 2011, did affect) our business, results of operations and financial condition. For additional information on the risk we face, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in the 2010 Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Net earnings were $52 million for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $64 million from net losses of $12 million in the first nine months of 2010, primarily due to negative DAC and VOBA amortization for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to amortization in the comparable 2010 period and lower impairment of fixed maturities in the current period.

Income tax benefit decreased $2 million in the first nine months of 2011 to $8 million as compared to $10 million in the comparable 2010 period. In first quarter of 2011, management reviewed the intercompany tax sharing agreement between MLOA and MONY Life and determined that the valuation allowance previously established on deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carry forwards was no longer necessary. Consequently, the tax benefit for MLOA for the first nine months of 2011 reflected a release of $19 million of valuation allowances related to prior periods and a $4 million tax benefit in settlement of refund claims for tax years 1994-1997. This more than offset the tax expense on $44 million of pre-tax earnings. The tax benefit in the first nine months of 2010 was due to pre-tax losses of $22 million.

Earnings before income taxes were $44 million in the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $66 million from loss before income taxes of $22 million in the 2010 period.

Revenues. Total revenues for the first nine months of 2011 increased $30 million to $218 million from $188 million for the first nine months of 2010.

Universal life and investment-type product policy fee income decreased $4 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $89 million from $93 million for the comparable 2010 period primarily due to higher initial fee liability capitalization resulting from the unlocking of assumptions due to better lapse experience in interest sensitive life products.

Net investment income decreased $4 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $86 million from $90 million for the first nine months of 2010 principally due to lower investment income on fixed maturities.

Investment losses, net decreased $28 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $2 million from $30 million for the comparable 2010 period due to writedowns of $1 million on fixed maturities during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $35 million in writedowns in the 2010 period, all of which related to CMBS securities for both periods, partially offset by losses on sales of fixed maturities in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to gains the 2010 period.

34

Benefits and Other Deductions. Total benefits and other deductions for the first nine months of 2011 decreased $36 million to $174 million from $210 million for the comparable 2010 period.

Policyholders’ benefits increased $11 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $81 million from $70 million for the first nine months of 2010 primarily due to a $5 million higher increase in reserves for supplementary contracts for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the comparable 2010 period and a $2 million charge for unreported death claims.

Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances decreased $9 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $43 million from $52 million for the comparable 2010 period primarily related to lower fund values.

Compensation and benefits expense decreased $1 million to $23 million for the first nine months of 2011 from $24 million for the first nine months of 2010 due to lower allocated salary expenses partially offset by higher allocated benefit expenses.

Commissions increased $3 million for the first nine months of 2011 to $29 million from $26 million for the comparable 2010 period due to higher first year commissions on increased sales of life insurance and annuity products.

Amortization of DAC and VOBA decreased $40 million for the first nine months of 2011 (negative amortization of $7 million for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to amortization of $33 million for the comparable 2010 period). The negative amortization for the first nine months of 2011 resulted from unlocking of assumptions due to better lapse experience in annuities and interest sensitive-life products. In the first nine months of 2010 revised estimates of future reinsurance costs and other updates resulted in amortization expense.

Premiums and Deposits. Total premiums and deposits for life insurance and annuity products increased by $7 million from $205 million during the first nine months of 2010 to $212 million for the first nine months of 2011. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in annuity deposits of $5 million and an increase in renewals of life insurance products of $2 million.

Surrenders and Withdrawals. Surrenders and withdrawals decreased from $311 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $267 million in the comparable 2011 period. The decrease is attributable to a $31 million decrease for variable and interest-sensitive life products and by a $13 million decrease for individual annuities. The annualized annuities surrender rate increased to 17.38% in the first nine months of 2011 from 16.34% in the first nine months of 2010 and the variable and interest-sensitive life surrender rates decreased to 5.86% in the first nine months of 2011 from 8.28% in 2010.
