You bear the investment risk if you allocate your premium payments to the variable account.

 

If you choose the fixed option, we will invest your premium payments in the guaranteed interest account where your payments will grow at the rate of at least 4.0% annually. We take the investment risk of premium payments allocated to the guaranteed interest account.

 

The amount of life insurance may, and your Policy’s value will, depend on the investment experience of the options you choose.

 

If you already own a life insurance policy, it might not be to your advantage to replace your existing insurance coverage with this Policy or to finance the purchase or maintenance of this Policy through a loan or through withdrawals from another policy.

 

An investment in this Policy is not a bank deposit. Neither the U.S. government nor any governmental agency insures or guarantees your investment in the Policy.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved this Policy or determined that this prospectus is accurate or complete. Anyone who tells you otherwise is committing a federal crime.

BENEFIT AND RISK SUMMARY

 

This summary provides with a brief overview of the benefits and risks associated with the Policy. You should read the entire prospectus before purchasing the Policy. Important details regarding the Policy are contained in other sections of this Prospectus. Please consult your agent and refer to your Policy for details. If you are already entitled to favorable tax treatment, you should satisfy yourself that this Policy meets your other financial goals before you buy it. For your convenience, we have defined certain terms we use in the Glossary at the end of the Prospectus. We only offer this Policy in New York.

 

Policy Benefits

 

Life Insurance Protection

 

The Policy provides a means for you to accumulate life insurance that can generally pass free of federal and state income taxes to your Beneficiaries.

 

We will pay your Beneficiary a Death Benefit after the death of the Insured while this Policy is in effect. There are three decisions you must make about the Death Benefit. First, when you apply for your Policy, you must decide how much life insurance coverage (the Specified Amount) you need on the Insured’s life. Second, you must choose a Death Benefit option. Finally, you must decide which death benefit compliance test you would like – the Cash Value Accumulation Test (this test generally will not limit the amount you pay into the Policy), or the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test.

 

We offer two Death Benefit options. Under Option 1, the Death Benefit equals the greater of: (a) the Specified Amount in force on the date of the Insured’s death; or (b) the Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s death multiplied by a death benefit percentage. Under Option 2, the Death Benefit equals the greater of: (a) the Specified Amount in force on the date of the Insured’s death plus the Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s death; or (b) the Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s death multiplied by a death benefit percentage.

 

You may change the Specified Amount and the Death Benefit option that you selected. Changing the Specified Amount or the Death Benefit Option may have tax consequences.

 

During the grace period, your Policy (including the Death Benefit) will remain in effect subject to certain conditions. See “Termination.”

 

Cash Benefits

 

You may borrow against your Policy for up to 90% of your Policy’s Cash Value, less any accrued loan interest due on the next Policy anniversary. If you do, we will transfer an amount equal to the loan from the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account to the Loan Account as collateral for the loan. We charge interest on the loan, and we credit interest on amounts in the Loan Account. We deduct Outstanding Debt (i.e., the amount of your loan plus interest due) from Death Benefit proceeds and from the amount you receive at surrender. A loan may have tax consequences.

 

You may request a partial surrender at any time before the maturity date. Partial surrenders must be for at least $500. A partial surrender may decrease the Specified Amount and may decrease your Death Benefit, and we may assess a $10 partial surrender fee against your remaining Fund Value. Also, a partial surrender may have tax consequences.

 

While the Insured is alive, you can surrender your Policy at any time for its Cash Value. However, if you surrender your Policy within 30 days of a policy anniversary, we will calculate the Fund Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account so that it will not be less than your Fund Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account on that policy anniversary, as adjusted for transactions since that policy anniversary. A surrender charge may apply. A surrender may have tax consequences.

 

1


Table of Contents
If the Insured is alive on the maturity date, we will pay the Cash Value to the Owner unless you elected to defer the maturity date under the Policy provisions or the provisions of the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider.

 

You decide how we pay proceeds under the Policy. We may pay the Cash Value and the Death Benefit proceeds as a lump sum or under one of our settlement options.

 

Variety of Investment Options

 

You may allocate your net premiums (your premium payment less the deductions we take) among the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account.

 

The Subaccounts invest in a wide variety of Funds that cover a broad spectrum of investment objectives and risk tolerances. Amounts invested in the Subaccounts will go up and down in value depending on the investment experience of the Fund portfolio in which the Subaccount is invested.

 

The Guaranteed Interest Account is part of our General Account. We will credit interest of at least 4.0% annually on amounts invested in the Guaranteed Interest Account.

 

As your needs or financial goals change, you can change your investment mix. You may transfer Fund Value among any of the Subaccounts or between the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account while continuing to defer current income taxes.

 

Supplemental Insurance Benefits

 

You may add additional insurance and other benefits to your Policy by rider. Please see “Other Benefits” for a description of the other optional benefits that we offer.

 

Policy Risks

 

Possible Adverse Tax Consequences

 

In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. We expect that the Policy will generally be deemed a life insurance contract under federal tax law, and that the death benefit paid to the beneficiary will generally not be subject to federal income tax. However, due to lack of guidance, there is less certainty in this regard with respect to Policies issued on a special risk class basis and policies with term riders added and it is not clear whether such policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements particularly if you pay the full amount of premiums permitted under the policy and you select the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

 

Depending on the total amount of premiums you pay, your Policy may be treated as a modified endowment contract (MEC) under federal tax laws. If this occurs, partial or full surrenders, pledges, as well as Policy loans, will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent there are earnings in the Policy. In addition, a 10% penalty tax may be imposed on the taxable portion of certain partial or full surrenders, pledges and loans. If the Policy is not treated as a MEC, full and partial surrenders will not be subject to tax to the extent of your investment in the Policy. Amounts in excess of your investment in the Policy, while subject to tax as ordinary income, will not be subject to a 10% penalty tax, and pledges and loans should not be taxable. You should consult a qualified tax advisor for assistance in all tax matters involving your Policy.

 

Policy Termination

 

If the value of your Policy can no longer cover the Policy’s monthly charges and any loan interest due, your Policy will be in default and a grace period will begin. There is a risk that if partial surrenders, loans, and

 

2


Table of Contents
 

charges reduce your Cash Value to too low an amount and/or if the investment experience of your selected Subaccounts is unfavorable, then your Policy could terminate. In that case, you will have a 61-day grace period to make a sufficient payment. If you do not make a sufficient payment before the grace period ends, your Policy will terminate without value; all rights and benefits under your Policy, including your insurance coverage, will end. (Special rules, however, apply during the first three Policy Years—your Policy will not lapse if your Policy’s Cash Value is greater than zero or the premiums you paid minus partial surrenders and Outstanding Debt is of a certain amount). After termination, you may reinstate your Policy within five years subject to certain conditions.

 

Partial Surrender Limitations

 

The minimum partial surrender amount is $500 (plus the applicable partial surrender fee). There must be at least $500 remaining in Cash Value after a partial surrender. Partial surrenders may reduce the Death Benefit and the Specified Amount in your Policy, and will reduce the Fund Value of your Policy. A partial surrender charge of $10 will apply to the remaining Fund Value. Federal income taxes and a penalty tax may apply to partial surrenders.

 

Effects of Policy Loans

 

A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will affect your Policy’s Fund Value over time because we transfer the amount of the loan from the Subaccounts and/or the Guaranteed Interest Account to the Loan Account and hold it as collateral. We then credit a fixed interest rate to the loan collateral. As a result, the loan collateral does not participate in the investment results of the Subaccounts and does not participate in the interest credited to the Guaranteed Interest Account. The longer the loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be. Depending on the performance of the Subaccounts and the extent, if any, of the difference in the interest rates credited to the Guaranteed Interest Account and the Loan Account, the effect could be favorable or unfavorable.

 

A Policy loan also reduces Death Benefit proceeds. A loan could make it more likely that a Policy would terminate. There is a risk if the loan reduces your Cash Value to too low an amount and investment experience is unfavorable, that the Policy will lapse, resulting in adverse tax consequences. You must submit a sufficient payment during the grace period to avoid the Policy’s termination without value and the end of insurance coverage.

 

Policy is Suited Only for Long-Term Protection

 

We designed the Policy to meet long-term financial goals. You should not purchase this Policy if you intend to surrender all or part of your Fund Value in the near future. Please note, if you surrender your Policy in the early Policy Years, the surrender charge may be significant.

 

Portfolio Risks

 

The value of your Policy is tied to the investment performance of the Fund portfolios and allocation percentages you choose. If those portfolios perform poorly, the value of your Policy will decrease. Values allocated to the portfolios are not guaranteed. Because we continue to deduct charges from Fund Value, if investment results are too low, the Cash Value of your Policy may fall to zero. In that case, the Policy will terminate without value and insurance coverage will no longer be in effect, unless you make an additional payment sufficient to prevent a termination during the 61-day grace period. On the other hand, if investment experience is sufficiently favorable and you have kept the Policy in force for a substantial time, you may be able to draw upon Fund Value through partial surrenders and Policy loans. Poor investment performance may also lower the amount of the death benefit payable under the Policy. The Funds provide a comprehensive description of the risks of each portfolio in their prospectuses.

1 The sales charge varies by Policy Year and premium amount and will be 1.45% of gross premium plus 4.00% of gross premium up to a certain premium amount in Policy Years 1-10 and will be 1.45% in Policy Years 11 and later. The Policy will contain more specific information.
2 We reserve the right to increase or decrease the current or maximum charge for taxes resulting from a change in tax law or from any change in the relevant tax cost to us.
3 We do not assess this charge if you purchased the Policy in connection with an individual qualified plan or in other situations where the premiums received are not subject to this tax.
4 The surrender charge varies based on the Insured’s issue age, gender, smoking status, risk class, and the number of years since Policy issue or any increases in Specified Amount.

The surrender charge shown may not be representative of the charge that a particular Owner will pay. Please see your Policy for more information about the surrender charge that applies to your Policy.

5 The minimum guaranteed and current surrender charge is based on an Insured with the following characteristics: female, issue age 0, surrendering in Policy year 1; the maximum guaranteed and current surrender charge is based on an Insured with the following characteristics: male, standard, non-tobacco, issue age 85, surrendering in Policy year 1.
6 The cost of insurance charge and the cost of insurance charge for the Term Life Term Rider vary based on the Insured’s issue age or age on date of increase, gender and risk class, the duration of the Policy, and the Specified Amount. The cost of insurance charge shown the table may not be representative of the charge that a particular Owner will pay. Please see your Policy for more information about the guaranteed cost of insurance charge that applies to your Policy. You may obtain more information about your cost of insurance charge from your agent or by contacting us at the address noted on the cover page of this prospectus.
7 The minimum guaranteed cost of insurance charge assumes an Insured with the following characteristics: female, tobacco, standard, issue age 4, 0 years since Policy issue; the minimum current cost of insurance charge assumes an Insured with the following characteristics: female, non-tobacco, ultimate select, Specified Amount of $500,000 or greater, issue age 4, 0 years since Policy issue; the maximum guaranteed cost of insurance charge assumes an Insured with the following characteristics: all Insureds with attained age 99; the maximum current cost of insurance charge assumes an Insured with the following characteristics: male, tobacco, standard, Specified Amount of less than $500,000, issue age 85, 14 years since Policy issue.

10 A coverage segment is the initial Specified Amount; each increase in Specified Amount is its own coverage segment.
11 The loan interest spread charge is the difference between the amount of interest we charge you for a loan and the amount of interest we credit to the amount held in the Loan Account to secure your loan. The amount of interest we currently charge on loans is equal to an effective annual rate of 5.00% for Policy years 1-20 and an effective annual rate of 4.25% for Policy years 21 and later. We guarantee that we will not charge you an effective annual rate of interest that is greater than the rate we currently charge on loans. The amount of interest we currently credit to the amount held in the Loan Account to secure your loan is equal to an effective annual rate of 4.0% and is guaranteed not to be less than this rate. We currently anticipate that the interest we charge on loans will be an effective annual rate of 4.0% for Policy years 21 and later resulting in an anticipated loan interest spread of 0% in Policy years 21+.

The following table shows the range of the total fees and expenses charged by the portfolios in which the Subaccounts invest. The purpose of the table is to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses that you will bear indirectly by investing in the Subaccounts. The table reflects total operating expenses for the portfolios for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. Expenses of the portfolios may be higher or lower in future years than the figures stated below. For more information on the fees and expenses described in this table, see the prospectus for each portfolio.

We offer other variable life insurance policies which may also invest in the same (or many of the same) Fund Portfolios offered under the Policy. These policies may have different charges that could affect their subaccounts performing and they may offer different benefits.

 

ILLUSTRATIONS

 

The following tables illustrate how the key financial elements of the Policy work, specifically, how the Death Proceeds, Fund Values and Cash Values could vary over an extended period of time. In addition, each table compares these values with premiums paid accumulated with interest.

 

The Policies illustrated include the following:

 

Sex


   Age

  

Risk Class


   Benefit
Option


   Specified
Amount


Male

   35    Standard Non-tobacco    1    $ 250,000

Male

   35    Standard Non-tobacco    2    $ 250,000

Female

   35    Standard Non-tobacco    1    $ 250,000

Female

   35    Standard Non-tobacco    2    $ 250,000

 

The tables show how Death Proceeds, Fund Values and Cash Values of a hypothetical Policy could vary over an extended period of time if the Subaccounts of the Variable Account had constant hypothetical gross annual investment returns of 0%, 6% or 10% over the periods indicated in each table. If the annual investment returns are not constant the Death Proceeds, Fund Values and Cash Values will be different if the returns averaged 0%, 6% or 10% over a period of years but went above or below those figures in individual Policy years. Depending on the timing and degree of fluctuation, the actual values could be substantially less than these shown, and may, under certain circumstances, result in the lapse of the Policy unless the Owner pays more than the stated premium. These illustrations assume that no Policy loan has been taken. The amounts shown would differ if unisex rates were used.

 

The amounts shown for Death Proceeds, Fund Values and Cash Values reflect the fact the net investment return on the Policy is lower than the gross investment return on the Subaccounts of the Variable Account. This results from the charges levied against the Subaccounts of the Variable Account (i.e., the mortality and expense risk charge) as well as the premium loads, administrative charges and Surrender Charges.

 

These charges include the charge against the Subaccounts for mortality and expense risks and the effect on each Subaccount’s investment experience of the charge to portfolio assets for investment management and direct expenses. The mortality and expense risk fee is .35% annually on a guaranteed basis. We currently plan to reduce the mortality and expense risk charge after the 20th Policy year to 0.10% annually. This reduction is reflected in the “Current Charges” table below. The tables also reflect a deduction for a daily investment advisory fee and for other expenses of the Portfolio at a rate equivalent to an annual rate of 0.95% of the arithmetic average daily net assets of the Portfolio. This hypothetical rate is representative of the average maximum investment advisory fee and other expenses of the Portfolios applicable to the Subaccounts of the Variable Account, Actual fees and other expenses vary by Portfolio.

 

The effect of these investment management, direct expenses and mortality and expense risk charges on a 0% gross rate of return would result in a net rate of return of -0.95%, on 6% it would be 5.05%, and on 10% it would be 9.05%.

 

11


Table of Contents

The tables assume the deduction of charges including administrative and sales charges. For each age, there are tables for death benefit Option 1 and 2 and each option is illustrated using current and guaranteed policy cost factors. The tables reflect the fact that the Company does not currently make any charge against the Variable Account for state or federal taxes. If such a charge is made in the future, it will take a higher rate of return to produce after-tax returns of 0%, 6% or 10%.

 

The difference between the Fund Value and the Cash Value in the first 14 years is the Surrender Charge.

 

The Company will furnish, upon request, a comparable illustration based on the age, gender and risk classification of the proposed Insured, and the initial Specified Amount and Scheduled Premium Payments of their choice.

* Gross annual investment returns do not reflect deductions of the average investment advisory fees of the Funds. Values reflect net investment returns of -0.95%, 5.05%, and 9.05%, which correspond to gross investment returns of 0.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

 

The hypothetical investment results are illustrative only, and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown, and will depend on a number of factors, including the investment allocations by policyowners, and the different investment rates of return earned by the portfolios underlying the Subaccounts. The Cash Value, Fund Value and Death Proceeds for a Policy would be different from those shown if the actual rates of investment return applicable to the Policy averaged 0.0%, 6.0%, or 10.0% over a period of years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Policy years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical rates of return can be achieved for any one year, or sustained over any period of time.

* Gross annual investment returns do not reflect deductions of the average investment advisory fees of the Funds. Values reflect net investment returns of -0.95%, 5.05%, and 9.05%, which correspond to gross investment returns of 0.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

 

The hypothetical investment results are illustrative only, and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown, and will depend on a number of factors, including the investment allocations by policyowners, and the different investment rates of return earned by the portfolios underlying the Subaccounts. The Cash Value, Fund Value and Death Proceeds for a Policy would be different from those shown if the actual rates of investment return applicable to the Policy averaged 0.0%, 6.0%, or 10.0% over a period of years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Policy years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical rates of return can be achieved for any one year, or sustained over any period of time.

Premiums are assumed to be paid at the beginning of the year. All other values are at the end of the year.

 

* Gross annual investment returns do not reflect deductions of the average investment advisory fees of the Funds. Values reflect net investment returns of -0.95%, 5.05%, and 9.05%, which correspond to gross investment returns of 0.0%, 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively.

 

The hypothetical investment results are illustrative only, and should not be deemed a representation of past or future investment results. Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown, and will depend on a number of factors, including the investment allocations by policyowners, and the different investment rates of return earned by the portfolios underlying the Subaccounts. The Cash Value, Fund Value and Death Proceeds for a Policy would be different from those shown if the actual rates of investment return applicable to the Policy averaged 0.0%, 6.0%, or 10.0% over a period of years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Policy years. No representations can be made that these hypothetical rates of return can be achieved for any one year, or sustained over any period of time.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

 

We are a stock life insurance company organized in the State of New York. Our principal offices are located at 1740 Broadway, New York, New York 10019. We are obligated to pay all benefits under the Policy. On September 17, 2003, MONY Group Inc. (“MONY Group”), the ultimate parent of MONY Life Insurance Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”) and AIMA Acquisition Co., which was subsequently amended on February 22, 2004 (hereafter referred to collectively as the “AXA Agreement”), pursuant to which MONY Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial in a cash transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion. Under the terms of the AXA Agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of AXA Financial and MONY Group, MONY Group’s shareholders will receive $31.00 for each share of MONY Group’s common stock. The acquisition contemplated by the AXA Agreement is subject to various regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, including the approval of MONY Group’s shareholders. A special meeting of MONY Group’s shareholders is scheduled for May 18, 2004 to vote on the proposed acquisition of MONY Group by AXA Financial. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2004.

 

MONY VARIABLE ACCOUNT L

 

We established MONY Variable Account L as a separate account under New York law on November 28, 1990. We divided the Variable Account into subdivisions called Subaccounts. Each Subaccount invests exclusively in shares of a designated portfolio of the Funds.

 

The assets in the Variable Account belong to us. Assets equal to the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account will not be charged with liabilities that arise from any other business that we conduct. Realized or unrealized income gains or losses from assets allocated to the Variable Account and of each Subaccount are credited to or charged against the Variable Account and that Subaccount without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company. We reserve the right to credit or charge a Subaccount in a different manner if required, or appropriate, by reason of a change in law. We may from time to time transfer to our General Account, assets which exceed the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account.

 

Changes to the Variable Account

 

We may add new Subaccounts that are not available under the Policy. We may substitute a portfolio for another portfolio of that Fund or of another Fund, if in our judgment, the portfolio no longer suits the purposes of the Policy due to a change in its investment objectives or restrictions. The new portfolio may have higher fees and charges than the one it replaced, and not all portfolios may be available to all classes of Policies. No substitution may take place without prior notice to you and prior approval of the SEC and insurance regulatory authorities, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and applicable law.

 

We may also, where permitted by law:

 

  combine the Variable Account with any of our other separate accounts;

 

  deregister the Variable Account under the 1940 Act; and

 

  operate the Variable Account as a management company under the 1940 Act.

 

We will notify you of any changes we make.

 

THE PORTFOLIOS

 

You decide the Subaccounts to which you direct premium payments or transfer Fund Value. There is a separate Subaccount which corresponds to each portfolio of a Fund offered in the Policy.

 

21


Table of Contents

Each Fund is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company under the 1940 Act. The assets of each portfolio are separate from other portfolios of a Fund and each portfolio has separate investment objectives and policies. As a result, the investment performance of one portfolio has no effect on the investment performance of any other portfolio.

 

Janus Aspen Series Capital Appreciation is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. A non-diversified Fund may hold a larger position in a smaller number of securities than a diversified Fund. This means that a single security’s increase or decrease in value may have a greater impact on the return and net asset value of a non-diversified Fund than a diversified Fund.

 

Before you choose a Subaccount to allocate your premium payments and transfer Fund Value, carefully read the prospectus for each Fund, along with this prospectus. Please call your agent or our Operations Center to obtain each Fund prospectus. We summarize the investment objectives of each portfolio below. There is no assurance that any of the portfolios will meet these objectives. You should know that during extended periods of low interest rates, the yields of the MONY Money Market Subaccount may become extremely low and possibly negative.

 

The investment objectives and policies of certain portfolios are similar to the investment objectives and policies of other portfolios that may be managed by the same investment adviser or manager. The investment results of the portfolios, however, may be higher or lower than the results of such portfolios. There can be no assurance, and no representation is made, that the investment results of any of the portfolios will be comparable to the investment results of any other portfolio, even if the other portfolio has the same investment adviser or manager.

Table of Contents

We have entered into agreements with either the investment adviser or distributor of each of the Funds under which the adviser or distributor pays us a fee ordinarily based upon an annual average percentage of the average aggregate net amount we have invested on behalf of the Variable Account and other separate accounts. These percentages differ, and some investment advisers or distributors pay us more than others. The percentages range from 0 to 25 basis points. These agreements reflect administrative services we provide. The amounts we receive under these agreements may be significant. In addition, our affiliate, MONY Securities Corporation, the principal underwriter for the Policies, will receive 12b-1 fees deducted from portfolio assets of certain Funds for providing distribution and shareholder support services to the portfolios.

 

Your Right to Vote Portfolio Shares

 

As required by law, we will vote portfolio shares held in the Variable Account at any regular and special meetings of the shareholders of the Funds. We will exercise these voting rights based on the instructions received from Owners having the voting interest in corresponding Subaccounts of the Variable Account. We may elect to vote the shares of the Funds in our own right if the 1940 Act or any regulations thereunder is amended, and as a result, we determine that it is permitted to vote the shares of the Funds in our right.

 

We will determine the number of votes which you have the right to cast by dividing your Fund Value in a Subaccount that corresponds to the portfolio by $100. Fractional votes will be counted. The number of Owner votes will be determined as of the date we set. However, such date will not be more than 90 days before the date established by the corresponding Fund for determining shareholders eligible to vote at that Fund’s meeting. If required by the SEC, we reserve the right to determine the voting rights in a different fashion. You may cast your voting instructions in person or by proxy.

 

We will vote portfolio shares for which we received no timely instructions in proportion to the voting instructions which are received for all Policies participating in that Subaccount. We will apply voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted on a pro-rata basis to reduce the number of votes eligible to be cast.

 

Disregard of Voting Instructions

 

We may disregard voting instructions when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, if, (1) the instructions require that voting rights be exercised so as to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of a portfolio, or (2) to approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions of changes initiated by Owners or the investment adviser (or portfolio manager) of a portfolio. Our disapproval of such change must be reasonable and must be based on a good faith determination that the change would be contrary to state law or otherwise inappropriate, considering the portfolio’s objectives and purpose, and considering the effect the change would have on us. If we do disregard voting instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action will be included in the next report to Owners.

 

THE GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT

 

Due to certain exemptive and exclusionary provisions of the federal securities laws, we have not registered interests in the Guaranteed Interest Account or our General Account under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the Guaranteed Interest Account nor any interest therein is generally subject to the provisions of these Acts and, as a result, the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Guaranteed Interest Account. Disclosures regarding the Guaranteed Interest Account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the prospectus. For more details regarding the Guaranteed Interest Account, please see your Policy.

 

You may allocate all or a portion of your net premiums and transfer Fund Value to our Guaranteed Interest Account. Amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account become part of the General Account, which

 

25


Table of Contents

supports insurance and annuity obligations. The amounts allocated to the General Account are subject to the liabilities arising from the businesses we conduct. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over the investment of the assets of the General Account.

 

We guarantee that we will credit the Fund Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account with a minimum interest rate of 0.0107% compounded daily, for a minimum effective annual rate of 4.0%. We may, in our sole discretion, declare current interest in excess of the 4.0% effective annual rate. We may declare excess interest based on such factors including, but not limited to, regulatory and tax requirements, sales commissions, and administrative expenses borne by us, general economic trends, and competitive factors. We cannot predict or guarantee future excess interest rates.

 

Before the beginning of each calendar month, we will declare an interest rate. The declared rate will apply to premium payments and transfers into the Guaranteed Interest Account made during the calendar month. To obtain the rate, please contact your agent. The calendar year and month the payment or transfer is made determines the “generation” of such monies. The current interest may be credited from the date of the payment or transfer for a period of 12 months beginning the first day of the monthly generation to which the payment or transfer is assigned. After the first 12 months, a renewal interest rate may be declared for a new 12-month period. At the end of the renewal period, all monies will earn an interest rate which is declared monthly and applies for a one-month period. Any rate we declare in excess of the minimum interest rate may be changed or discontinued by us at anytime after it is declared, but such change or discontinuance will only affect the crediting of interest that accrues after the change or discontinuance.

 

We bear the full investment risk for the Fund Value allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account.

 

THE POLICY

 

We designed the Policy to meet the needs of individuals as well as for corporations who provide coverage and benefits for key employees.

 

Applying for a Policy

 

To purchase a Policy, you must complete an application and then have your agent submit it to us at our Operations Center. After you have done this, it can sometimes take several weeks for us to gather and evaluate the information we need to decide whether to issue a Policy to you and if so, what the Insured’s risk class should be. After we approve an application for a Policy and assign the appropriate risk class, we will prepare the Policy for delivery.

 

You must pay an initial premium of a sufficient amount before or at the time we deliver your Policy. (If you submit your initial premium with your application, we will place your premium in our General Account where it will earn interest at an effective annual rate of at least 4.0%). See “Premiums.” Coverage generally becomes effective on the Policy Date. We will not pay a Death Benefit before the Policy Date unless temporary insurance coverage, as discussed below, was in effect.

 

We will issue a Policy covering an Insured who is up to and including age 85, providing we receive evidence of insurability that satisfies us. If a qualified plan will own the Policy, the Insured cannot be less than 18 years old or more than 70 years old. Required evidence of insurability may include, among other things, a medical examination of the Insured. We may reject an application for any lawful reason.

 

Temporary Insurance Coverage

 

You may apply for temporary insurance coverage. To be eligible for such coverage, the Insured must be between the ages of 15 days and 71 years old and must be able to satisfactorily answer several health questions. Your initial premium must be in the amount of at least the Minimum Monthly Premium (see below) for the Policy for

 

26


Table of Contents

which you applied. This coverage will take effect on the date you sign the application and pay the premium. Temporary insurance coverage will end on the earliest of:

 

  the policy release date (i.e., the date we authorize the Policy to be delivered to you), if the Policy is issued as applied for;

 

  the 15th day after the policy release date or the date the Policy takes effect, if the policy is issued other than as applied for; no later than 90 days from the date the temporary insurance agreement is signed; the 45th day after the form is signed if you have not finished the last required medical exam; 5 days after we send notice to you that we declined to issue any Policy; and

 

  the date you tell us that the Policy will be refused.

 

We will pay a Death Benefit if the Insured dies during the period of temporary coverage. This Death Benefit will be:

 

  1. the insurance coverage applied for (including any optional riders) up to $500,000, less

 

  2. the deductions from premium and the monthly deduction due prior to the date of death.

 

We hold the premiums paid for temporary insurance coverage in our General Account until the policy release date. If we issue the Policy, we will apply these amounts to your Policy. Please contact your agent and see the Statement of Additional Information for more information about temporary insurance coverage rates based on a younger insurance age.

 

Backdating

 

We will not backdate a Policy for more than six months (a shorter period is required in certain states) before the date of your application. For a backdated Policy, Monthly Deductions will begin on the backdated Policy Date. You therefore will incur charges before you otherwise would have if you had not backdated your Policy, and your initial premium payment must be in an amount sufficient to cover the extra Monthly Deduction charges for the backdating period.

 

Owner

 

You have all of the rights and benefits under the Policy while the Insured is living. These rights include the right to change the Beneficiary, to assign the Policy, to transfer Fund Value, or make full or partial surrenders. Assigning the Policy, and full and partial surrenders may have tax consequences.

 

Canceling the Policy

 

You may cancel a Policy during the “Right to Return Policy” period by returning it to us at our Operations Center, or to the agent who sold it, and receive a refund of the full amount of the premium paid. The Right to Return Policy period runs for the later of (a) 10 days after you receive the Policy; (b) 45 days after you signed the application; or (c) 10 days after we mail or deliver a notice of withdrawal right.

 

PREMIUMS

 

General

 

We will usually credit your initial premium payment to the Policy on the later of the date we approve your Policy or the date we receive your payment. We will credit any subsequent premium to the Policy on the Business Day we receive it at our Operations Center. If you submit your premium payment to your agent, we will not begin processing the premium payment until we have received it from your agent’s selling firm.

Table of Contents

If you have selected the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test, the total premiums you pay may not exceed guideline premium limitations for the insurance set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We may reject any premium, or any portion of a premium, that would result in the Policy being disqualified as life insurance under the Code. Further, we reserve the right to reject all or a portion of any premium payment if part (b) (Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s death multiplied by a death benefit percentage) under either Death Benefit Option 1 or Death Benefit Option 2 is in effect.

 

We will promptly refund any rejected premium. We will tell you before we process a transaction, whether once we process the transaction, your Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract under the Code.

 

Initial Premium

 

You must pay an amount equal to at least the Minimum Monthly Premium to put the Policy in effect. However, if you want to pay premiums less often than monthly, the premium required to put the Policy in effect is equal to the Minimum Monthly Premium multiplied by 12 divided by the frequency of the scheduled premium payments.

 

We base your Minimum Monthly Premium on a number of factors. These factors include:

 

  1. your Specified Amount;

 

  2. any riders you added to the Policy; and

 

  3. the Insured’s age, smoking status, gender (unless unisex rates apply), and risk class.

 

We show the Minimum Monthly Premium in your Policy. After you pay this initial premium, subject to the limitations described below, you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments to reflect your varying financial conditions.

 

Tax-Free “Section 1035” Exchanges

 

You can generally exchange one life insurance policy for another on the life of the same insured in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, you should compare both policies carefully. Remember that if you exchange another policy for the one described in this prospectus, you might have to pay a surrender charge on your old policy and there will be a new Surrender Charge for this Policy and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different. If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, you may have to pay federal income and penalty taxes on the exchange. You should not exchange another policy for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this Policy (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this Policy through an exchange or otherwise).

 

Scheduled Premiums

 

Your initial Minimum Monthly Premium is the only premium payment you must make under the Policy. However, you greatly increase your risk of Policy termination if you do not regularly pay premiums at least as large as the Minimum Monthly Premium. Paying your Minimum Monthly Premiums will not necessarily keep your Policy in force. Additional premiums may be necessary to keep the Policy in force.

 

You may make your premium payments according to the schedule you established when you applied for the Policy. This scheduled premium payment provides for the payment of level premiums at fixed intervals over a specified period of time, and equals, at least, the Minimum Monthly Premium multiplied by 12 divided by the scheduled premium payment frequency. We will send you a premium reminder notice for the scheduled premium payment amount on an annual, semiannual or quarterly basis, at your option.

 

28


Table of Contents

You should change the amount of your scheduled premium payments if:

 

  you increase your Specified Amount;

 

  you change your Death Benefit option;

 

  you change or add a rider;

 

  you take a partial surrender when you have elected Death Benefit Option 1 (see “Death Benefit”); or

 

  you select Subaccounts that experience adverse investment performance.

 

You can change the amount and interval of payment of scheduled premiums at any time by writing us at our Operations Center. However, the new payment interval must satisfy our rules in use at the time of the change.

 

We will issue an endorsement to your Policy after you increase the Specified Amount that will provide you with the increased Minimum Monthly Premium amount.

 

Electronic Payments

 

You may have your bank automatically pay your premiums to us. If you authorize us, we will withdraw premiums from your bank account each month by electronic funds transfer. Based on your Policy Date, we may require that up to two Minimum Monthly Premiums be paid in cash before premiums may be paid by electronic funds transfer to the Company.

 

Unscheduled Premiums

 

In general, you may make premium payments at any time and in any amount. However, we may reject or limit any unscheduled premium payment that would result in an immediate increase in the Death Benefit payable, unless you provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability at the time of payment. If satisfactory evidence of insurability is not received, we may return the payment in whole or in part. In addition, we will reject all or a part of a premium payment and return it to you if the premium would exceed the maximum premium limitations prescribed by the federal income tax law definition of life insurance.

 

Repayment of Outstanding Debt

 

We will treat payments you send to us as premium payments, and not as repayment of Outstanding Debt, unless you request otherwise. If you request that the payment be treated as a repayment of Outstanding Debt, any part of a payment that exceeds the amount of Outstanding Debt will be applied to your Fund Value as a premium payment. Applicable taxes and sales charges are only deducted from any payment that constitutes a premium payment.

 

Allocating Premiums

 

When you apply for a Policy, you specify the percentage of your net premium payments we are to allocate to the Subaccounts and to the Guaranteed Interest Account. Allocations must be in whole percentages, no allocation may be for less than 5% of a net premium, and allocation percentages must total 100%. You may change your allocations at any time by writing or calling our Operations Center. The change will apply to your net premium payments you make within 7 days after we receive your instructions.

 

We will allocate your initial premium payment to our General Account until the end of the “Right to Return Policy” period. At the end of that period, we will transfer your Net Premium to the Subaccounts and/or Guaranteed Interest Account you designated. After the “Right to Return Policy” period, we will allocate your net premiums to the Subaccounts and/or Guaranteed Account on the Business Day that we receive the premium payment.

 

29


Table of Contents

If you make an unscheduled premium payment, you may specify an allocation choice that differs from your allocation choice for your scheduled premium payments. This choice will not change your allocation choice for future scheduled premiums. Your allocation must be whole numbers only, each allocation must be for at least 5% of the unscheduled net premium, and the total must be 100% of the unscheduled net premium.

 

HOW YOUR FUND VALUE VARIES

 

Fund Value

 

Fund Value is the entire amount we hold under your Policy for you. Fund Value serves as the starting point for calculating certain values under a Policy. It is the sum of the total amount under the Policy in each Subaccount, the amount held in the Guaranteed Interest Account, and the amount held in the Loan Account. We determine Fund Value first on your Policy Date, and after that, on each Business Day. Your Fund Value will vary to reflect the performance of the Subaccounts to which you have allocated amounts and interest we credit on amounts in the Guaranteed Interest Account, and will also vary to reflect Outstanding Debt, charges for the Monthly Deduction, mortality and expense risk charges, partial surrenders, and loan repayments. Your Fund Value may be more or less than the premiums you paid.

 

Cash Value

 

Your Cash Value on any Business Day is the Fund Value reduced by any surrender charge and any Outstanding Debt.

 

Subaccount Values

 

On any Business Day, the value of a subaccount equals the number of Units we credit to the Policy multiplied by the Unit value for that Day. We make the calculation before the purchase or redemption of Units on that Day.

 

Every time you allocate or transfer money to or from a subaccount, we convert that dollar amount into Units. When you make allocations to a subaccount, either by premium allocation, transfer of Fund Value, transfer of loan interest from the General Account, or repayment of a loan, we credit your Policy with Units in a subaccount. When we assess the Monthly Deduction, and when you take a loan, a partial surrender, or transfer from a Subaccount, we decrease the number of Units you hold in a subaccount.

 

Subaccount Unit Value

 

The unit value of each Subaccount on its first Business Day was set at $10.00. To determine the unit value of a Subaccount on any later Business Day, the Company takes the prior Business Day’s Unit Value and multiplies it by the Net Investment Factor for the current Business Day. The New Investment Factor is used to measure the investment performance of a Subaccount from one Business Day to the next. The Net Investment factor for each Subaccount equals:

 

  (1) the net asset value per share of each portfolio held in the Subaccount at the end of the current Business Day, plus the share amount of any dividend or capital gains distributed by the portfolio held in the Subaccount on the current Business Day, divided by

 

  (2) the net asset value per share of each portfolio held in the Subaccount at the end of the prior Business Day, minus

 

  (3) the daily mortality and expense risk charge and any other applicable charges adjusted for the number of days in the period.

 

30


Table of Contents

The unit value of these Subaccounts may increase, decrease or remain the same from Business Day to Business Day. The unit value depends on the investment performance of the portfolio of the Fund in which the Subaccount invests and any expenses and charges deducted from MONY Variable Account L. The Owner bears the entire investment risk. Owners should periodically review their allocations of payments and values in light of market conditions and overall financial planning requirements.

 

Guaranteed Interest Account Value

 

On any Business Day, Fund Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account is:

 

  the accumulated value with interest on the net premiums allocated and amounts transferred to, the Guaranteed Interest Account before that Day; minus

 

  withdrawals from the Guaranteed Interest Account before that Day for any partial surrender and its fee, any amounts transferred from the Guaranteed Interest Account and the transfer charge, if any, and any Monthly Deductions.

 

TRANSFERS

 

After the Right to Return Policy period has ended, you may transfer all or a portion of your Fund Value between and among the Subaccounts of the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account subject to certain conditions. Transfers from a Subaccount will take effect at the end of the Business Day we receive your request at our Operations Center. Transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Account will take effect on the policy anniversary, or if later, on the Business Day that falls on, or next follows, the date we receive your request at our Operations Center. We may postpone transfers to, from, or among the Subaccounts under certain circumstances. See “Transfers by Third Parties” and “Payments and Telephone/Facsimile/Web Transactions.”

 

We restrict transfers from the Guaranteed Interest Account. You may only transfer Fund Value from the Guaranteed Interest Account once each Policy Year. We must receive your request to transfer Fund Value from the Guaranteed Interest Account within 10 days before or 30 days after a policy anniversary.

 

When thinking about a transfer of Fund Value, you should consider the inherent risk involved. Frequent transfers based on short-term expectations may increase the risk that a transfer will be made at an inopportune time. We consider a request for a transfer to be one transaction. We may charge for transfers. See “Charges and Deductions.”

 

Transfers By Third Parties

 

As a general rule and as a convenience to you, we allow you to give a third party the right to effect transfers on your behalf. However, when the same third party makes transfers for many Owners, the result can be simultaneous transfers involving large amounts of Fund Value. Such transfers can disrupt the orderly management of the portfolios underlying the Policy, can result in higher costs to Owners, and are generally not compatible with the long-range goals of Owners. We believe that such simultaneous transfers effected by such third parties are not in the best interests of all shareholders of the Funds, and the managements of the Funds share this position.

 

Therefore, to the extent necessary to reduce the adverse effects of simultaneous transfers made by third parties who make transfers on behalf of multiple Owners, we may not honor such transfers. We will notify you in writing if we do not process a transfer request. Also, we will institute procedures to assure that the transfer requests that we receive have, in fact, been made by the Owners in whose names they have been submitted. These procedures will not, however, prevent Owners from making their own transfer requests.

Table of Contents

DEATH BENEFITS

 

As long as your Policy is in effect and before the maturity date, we will pay the Death Benefit proceeds upon receipt at our Operations Center of satisfactory proof of the Insured’s death. We may postpone payment of the death benefit under certain conditions. See “Payments and Telephone/Facsimile/Web Transactions.” We will pay the proceeds to the Beneficiary.

 

Amount of Death Benefit Proceeds Payable

 

The amount of Death Benefit proceeds payable equals:

 

  1. the Policy’s Death Benefit; plus

 

  2. any insurance proceeds provided by rider; less

 

  3. any Outstanding Debt, and if the death of the Insured occurs during any period for which a Monthly Deduction has not been made, any Monthly Deduction that may apply to that period, including the deduction for the month of death.

 

Under certain circumstances, we may further adjust the amount of the Death Benefit proceeds payable. See “Incontestability,” and “Misstatement of Age or Sex,” and “Suicide Exclusion.”

 

Death Benefit Options

 

When you apply for the Policy, you have to make three choices about your Death Benefit. First, you must select the death benefit compliance test; second you must tell us how much life insurance you want on the Insured; and finally, you must select a Death Benefit option.

 

The Policy must satisfy alternative death benefit compliance tests to qualify as life insurance under section 7702 of the Code: the Cash Value Accumulation Test or the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test. Each test effectively requires that the Policy’s Death Benefit, plus any outstanding loans and accrued interest thereon, and any unpaid Monthly Deductions, always be equal to or greater than the Fund Value multiplied by a certain death benefit percentage. Under the Cash Value Accumulation test, the death benefit percentages vary by Insured’s attained age, gender and smoking status and in general, will not limit the amount you can pay into the Policy; under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test, the death benefit percentages vary by the Insured’s attained age, and will limit the amount you pay into the Policy. Your minimum Death Benefit will generally be larger should you select the Cash Value Accumulation Test, while your Fund Value will generally be greater in the long term under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test because your amount at risk will be lower which may result in lower cost of insurance charges in later Policy Years. In most situations, the Death Benefit that results from the Cash Value Accumulation Test will be more than the Death Benefit that results from the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test. However, under the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test, the premiums you pay into the Policy will be limited. Under the Cash Value Accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may be paid in premiums as long as there is enough Death Benefit in relation to Fund Value at all times. Once you choose the test, you cannot change it.

 

You also must tell us how much life insurance coverage you want on the life of the Insured. We call this the Specified Amount. The minimum Specified Amount is $50,000.

 

Finally, you tell us whether you want Death Benefit Option 1 or Death Benefit Option 2. If you prefer to have premium payments and any favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing Death Benefit, you should consider choosing Death Benefit Option 2. If you are satisfied with the amount of the insured’s existing insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and any favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in Fund value (thus reducing the cost of insurance charges), you should consider choosing Death Benefit Option 1. If you do not select a Death Benefit Option, we will assume you selected Death Benefit Option 2. Subject to certain restrictions, you may change your Death Benefit Option (see below).

 

32


Table of Contents

Under Death Benefit Option 1, your Death Benefit will be the greater of:

 

  a. the Specified Amount in effect on the date of the Insured’s death; or

 

  b. Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s death multiplied by a death benefit percentage.

 

Under Death Benefit Option 2, your Death Benefit will be the greater of:

 

  a. the Specified Amount in effect on the date of the Insured’s death, plus Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s Death; or

 

  b. Fund Value on the date of the Insured’s death multiplied by a death benefit percentage.

 

The death benefit percentage will vary by the death benefit compliance test you selected. A table showing the death benefit percentages is in your Policy.

 

Examples of Options 1 and 2

 

The following examples demonstrate how we calculate the Death Benefit under Options 1 and 2. The examples show two Policies with the same Specified Amount, but Fund Values that vary as shown. We assume that the Insured is age 65 at the time of death and that there is no Outstanding Debt. We also assume that the date of death was on a Monthly Anniversary Day. Policy 1 shows what your Death Benefit would be for a Policy with low Fund Value. Policy 2 shows what your Death Benefit would be for a Policy with a higher Fund Value.

 

     Policy 1

     Policy 2

Specified Amount

   $ 100,000      $ 100,000

     120%        120 %

Death Benefit under Option 1

   $ 100,000      $ 102,000

Death Benefit under Option 2

   $ 135,000      $ 185,000

 

Changes in Death Benefit Options

 

You may change the Death Benefit option under your Policy by writing us at our Operations Center. If you change from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2, you must provide us with satisfactory evidence of insurability. We do not require evidence of insurability if you change from Death Benefit Option 2 to Death Benefit Option 1. The effective date of a change will be the Monthly Anniversary Day on or next after we accept the change.

 

If you change from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2, we will reduce your Policy’s Specified Amount by the amount of the Policy’s Fund Value at the date of the change. We will not permit you to change from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2 if the change would result in a new Specified Amount of less than $50,000.

 

If you change from Death Benefit Option 2 to Death Benefit Option 1, we will increase the Specified Amount of your Policy by the amount of the Policy’s Fund Value at the date of the change. The change to Death Benefit Option 1 will generally reduce the Death Benefit payable in the future.

 

We will automatically change your Death Benefit option to Death Benefit Option 2 if the Insured becomes disabled and the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Benefit rider is in effect. Additional information about the riders available under the Policy is available from your agent.

 

A change in the Death Benefit option may affect the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge varies with the amount at risk. Generally, the amount at risk is the amount by which the Death Benefit exceeds Fund

 

33


Table of Contents

Value. See “Deductions from Fund Value – The Monthly Deduction.” If the Policy’s Death Benefit is not based on the death benefit percentage under Death Benefit Option 1 or Death Benefit Option 2, changing from Option 2 to Option 1 will generally decrease the amount at risk. Therefore, this change may decrease the cost of insurance charges. Changing from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2 will generally result in an amount at risk that remains level. However, such a change will result in an increase in the cost of insurance charges over time because the cost of insurance rates increase with the Insured’s age. Changing the Death Benefit Option may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser before changing the Death Benefit Option.

 

Changing the Specified Amount

 

You may change the Specified Amount under your Policy subject to the conditions described below.

 

Increasing the Specified Amount will generally increase your Policy’s Death Benefit. Decreasing the Specified Amount will generally decrease your Policy’s Death Benefit. The amount of change in the Death Benefit depends on (1) the Death Benefit option chosen, and (2) whether the Death Benefit under the Policy is being computed using the death benefit percentage at the time of the change. Changing the Specified Amount could affect the subsequent level of Policy values. For example, an increase in Specified Amount may increase the amount at risk, which will increase your cost of insurance charges over time. Conversely, a decrease in Specified Amount may decrease the amount at risk, which may decrease your cost of insurance over time. We offer a term life insurance rider. Depending on your circumstances, it may be more cost effective for you to purchase this rider rather than increasing your Specified Amount.

 

We will not permit any change that would result in your Policy being disqualified as a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. However, changing the Specified Amount may have other tax consequences. You should consult a tax adviser before changing the Specified Amount.

 

Increases

 

You may increase the Specified Amount by submitting a written application and evidence of insurability to us at our Operations Center. The increase will take effect on the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on, or next follows, the date we approve it.

 

You can only increase the Specified Amount until the Insured’s age 85.

 

Your cost of insurance charges will increase.

 

The increase will create a new “coverage segment.” There will be a surrender charge associated with this coverage segment. We will allocate Fund Value after the increase first to the original coverage segment, and then to each coverage segment in order of the increases.

 

Your Minimum Monthly Premium will increase, and we will make this adjustment prospectively to reflect the increase.

 

If the Specified Amount is increased when a premium payment is received, we will process the increase before we process the premium payment.

 

Decreases

 

You may decrease the Specified Amount (or the amount of term insurance added by rider) by submitting a written application to us at our Operations Center. The decrease will take effect on the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on, or next follows, the date we approve it.

 

You may not decrease the Specified Amount below $50,000.

 

 

34


Table of Contents
We will apply any decrease in your Specified Amount (whether requested by you or resulting from a partial surrender or a Death Benefit option change):

 

  1. to reduce the coverage segments of Specified Amount associated with the most recent increases in Specified Amount; then

 

  2. to the next most recent increases successively; and last

 

  3. to the original Specified Amount.

 

Your Minimum Monthly Premium will not be adjusted for the decrease in the Specified Amount.

 

If the Specified Amount is decreased when a premium payment is received, we will process the decrease before we process the premium payment.

 

Rider coverages may be affected by a decrease in Specified Amount.

 

We will reject a decrease in Specified Amount, if, to effect the decrease, payments to you would have to be made from Fund Value for compliance with the guideline premium limitations, and the amount of the payments would exceed the Cash Value of your Policy.

 

If a requested change is not approved, we will send you a written notice of our decision.

 

OTHER OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS

 

Subject to certain requirements, you may elect to add one or more optional insurance benefits when you apply for your Policy. These other optional benefits are added to your Policy by an addendum called a rider. As applicable, a charge is deducted monthly from the Fund Value for each optional benefit added to your policy. You can cancel these benefits at any time. Certain restrictions may apply, and are described in the applicable rider. In addition, adding or canceling these benefits may have an effect on your Policy’s status as a modified endowment contract.

 

The following riders are available under the Policy:

 

Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider

 

This rider provides the option to extend coverage beyond the original maturity date of the Policy until the date death proceeds become payable such that the death benefit at maturity is determined in the same manner as it was prior to the original maturity date. Death proceeds payable upon the Insured’s death on and after the original maturity date will equal the Death Benefit as determined under the Policy using 101% as the applicable percentage of Fund Value. There is a monthly cost for this rider which is deducted monthly from the Fund Value.

 

This rider must be elected at least 30 days but no more than 90 days before the original maturity date. If you elect this rider, the Policy provisions relating to maturity extension will not be effective. If you elect to end this rider, we will automatically provide coverage under the Policy provisions relating to maturity extension. Adding this rider to a policy and continuing the policy beyond the policy’s maturity date may have tax consequences. (See “Tax Considerations”)

 

Term Life Term Rider

 

This rider provides additional death benefits on the life of the Insured until the Insured reaches age 80. You may convert the rider coverage without evidence of insurability to any level premium, level face amount permanent policy of insurance offered by us. The conversion must occur before the Insured’s age 65 or 5 years from the issue of the rider, whichever is later.

 

35


Table of Contents

Spouse’s Yearly Renewable Term Rider

 

This rider provides for term insurance benefits on the life of the Insured’s spouse, to the spouse’s age 80.

 

Purchase Option Rider

 

This rider provides the option to purchase additional coverage as specified in the rider at specific ages or after specific events without providing additional evidence that the Insured remains insurable.

 

Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider

 

This rider provides for the waiver of certain charges while the Insured has a covered disability and the Policy is in effect. While the Insured is disabled, no deductions are made for (1) monthly administrative charges, (2) Monthly Expense Charges, (3) cost of insurance charges, and (4) rider charges.

 

Children’s Term Life Insurance Rider

 

This rider provides term insurance coverage on the lives of the children of the Insured under age 18. The coverage continues to the policy anniversary after the child’s 22nd birthday.

 

Contact our Operations Center or your agent for additional information about the riders.

 

BENEFITS AT MATURITY

 

The maturity date for this Policy unless you elect to extend it under the Policy provisions or by electing the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider is the policy anniversary following the Insured’s 100th birthday. If the Insured is living on the maturity date, we will pay to you, as an endowment benefit, the Fund Value of the Policy. We will not accept premiums, nor will we take Monthly Deductions, after the maturity date. Payment of the benefit may be deferred until the date of the Insured’s death under the Policy provisions or the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider. Under the policy provisions, the death proceeds payable upon the surviving Insured’s death equal the Cash Value of the Policy at the original maturity date multiplied by a death benefit percentage of 101%. Under the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider, the death benefit payable upon the Insured’s death on and after the original maturity date will equal the Death Benefit as determined under the Policy using 101% as the applicable percentage of Fund Value.

 

If you elect the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider, Policy provisions relating to maturity extension will not be effective. If you elect to end the rider, we will automatically provide coverage under the Policy provisions relating to maturity extension. Please see the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider or your agent for more information.

 

SURRENDERS AND PARTIAL SURRENDERS

 

Surrenders

 

You may cancel and surrender your Policy at any time before the Insured dies by sending a written request together with the Policy to our Operations Center. Your Policy will terminate at end of the Business Day we receive your request.

 

The amount you will receive will be your Policy’s Fund Value less (1) any surrender charge, and (2) any Outstanding Debt. However, if you surrender your Policy within 30 days of a policy anniversary, we will calculate your Fund Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account as follows. On the Business Day we determine your Cash Value, your Fund Value in the Guaranteed Interest Account will not be less than the Cash Value in the

 

36


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Interest Account as of that policy anniversary, less adjustments for partial surrenders (including fees), transfers (including transfer fees) and policy loans taken since that policy anniversary. Unless you select an optional payment plan, we will pay any proceeds in a lump sum.

 

A surrender may have adverse tax consequences. See “Tax Considerations.”

 

Partial Surrenders

 

Until the maturity date, you may make a partial surrender at any time from your Policy by writing us at our Operations Center. We will process your partial surrender request at the end of the Business Day we receive your request.

 

Your partial surrender must be for at least $500 (plus its fee). We will not allow a partial surrender if your Fund Value after the partial surrender (including the partial surrender fee) would be less than $500 or would result in a Specified Amount in force of less than $50,000. If you have taken a loan on your Policy, the amount of the partial surrender is limited so that the loan amount, after the partial surrender, is not greater than 90% of Cash Value, less any accrued loan interest due on the next Policy anniversary.

 

You must allocate an amount or percent of your Fund Value in the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account from which we are to take your partial surrender. Allocations by percentages must be in whole percentages and the minimum percentage is 10% against any Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account. Percentages must total 100%. We will reject an allocation which does not comply with the rules or if there is not enough Fund Value in a Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account to provide its share of the allocation. If the Insured dies after the request for a partial surrender is sent to us and before it is effected, the amount of the partial surrender will be deducted from the Death Benefit proceeds. We will determine the Death Benefit proceeds taking into account the amount surrendered.

 

Effect of Partial Surrenders on Fund Value and Death Benefit Proceeds

 

When you make a partial surrender and you selected Death Benefit Option 1, we decrease the Specified Amount of your Policy by the amount of the partial surrender (excluding its fee). If you selected Death Benefit Option 2, a partial surrender will not change the Specified Amount of your Policy. However, if the Death Benefit is not equal to the Fund Value times a death benefit percentage, we will reduce the Death Benefit by the amount of the partial surrender (including its fee). Under either Death Benefit Option, if the Death Benefit is based on the Fund Value times the applicable death benefit percentage, the Death Benefit may decrease by an amount greater than the partial surrender.

 

There is a fee of $10 for each partial surrender. Partial surrenders may have adverse tax consequences. See “Tax Considerations.”

 

LOANS

 

You may borrow up to 90% of your Cash Value, less any accrued loan interest due on the next Policy anniversary, at any time by writing us at our Operations Center. (If you request a loan on a Monthly Anniversary Day, the maximum loan is reduced by the Monthly Deduction due on that day.) Your Policy is the only security for the loan. A loan may have tax consequences. You should consult your tax adviser before borrowing from your Policy.

 

To secure a loan, we transfer an amount equal to the loan proceeds from Fund Value in the Variable Account and the Guaranteed Interest Account to our Loan Account. You tell us from where we are to transfer this Fund Value. You can specify loan allocations by amount or percentages. Allocations by percentage must be in whole percentages and the minimum percentage is 5% against any Subaccount or the Guaranteed Interest Account. If

 

37


Table of Contents

you do not specify an allocation, or if we cannot process your loan allocations because they do not comply with our rules or there is not enough Fund Value in a Subaccount and/or the Guaranteed Interest Account to comply with your request, we will reject your request for a loan. We pay interest monthly on amounts allocated to our Loan Account at an annual rate not less than 4.0%. We may pay excess interest in our sole discretion. We will allocate amounts in the Loan Account that exceed your Outstanding Debt to the Variable Account and/or Guaranteed Interest Account as we determine.

 

We normally pay the amount of the loan within seven calendar days after we receive a proper request for a loan at our Operations Center. We may postpone payment of loan under certain conditions. See “Payments and Telephone Transactions.”

 

We charge interest on a loan. Loan interest is payable in arrears on each policy anniversary, and varies by the number of years since we issued your Policy. The interest you must pay on the loan is as follows:

 

Policy Year


  

Interest Due

(at an annual rate)


 

1 through 20

   5.00 %

21 and after

   4.25 %

 

If you do not pay the interest when due, it will become part of the loan and accrue interest accordingly. To secure this “new” loan, we will deduct amounts from the Fund Value of each Subaccount and/or the Guaranteed Interest Account in the same proportion that each bears to total Fund Value on the policy anniversary.

 

You may repay all or part of the Outstanding Debt (i.e., your loan amount plus interest on the loan) at any time by sending the repayment to our Operations Center. We will credit repayments on the Business Day that we receive them. You must clearly mark a repayment as a loan repayment or it will be credited as a premium.

 

If a loan repayment is made which exceeds the Outstanding Debt, we will consider the excess to be part of a scheduled premium payment, and the payment will be subject to the rules on acceptance of premium payments.

 

Upon each loan repayment, we will transfer an amount equal to the loan repayment from the Loan Account to the Variable Account and/or Guaranteed Interest Account according to your current premium allocation instructions.

 

We deduct any Outstanding Debt from your Cash Value and the Death Benefit proceeds payable on the Insured’s death.

 

Effects of Policy Loans

 

A loan affects the Policy because we reduce Death Benefit proceeds and Cash Value under the Policy by the amount of Outstanding Debt. Repaying the loan causes the Death Benefit proceeds and Fund Value to increase by the amount of the repayment. As long as there is Outstanding Debt, we will hold an amount in the Loan Account equal to the loan amount as collateral. This amount is not affected by the Variable Account’s investment performance or interest we credit on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account. Amounts transferred from the Variable Account as collateral will affect the Fund Value of your Policy because we credit such amounts with an interest rate we declare rather than a rate of return reflecting the investment performance of the Variable Account.

 

There are risks involved in taking a loan, a few of which include the potential for your Policy to terminate if, after your third policy anniversary (or, in some instances, the third anniversary following an increase in Specified Amount), projected earnings taking into account Outstanding Debt are not achieved. A loan may have adverse tax consequences. See “Tax Considerations.”

 

We will notify you if your Policy is in risk of termination and has entered a 61-day grace period. See “Termination.”

TERMINATION

 

General

 

Your Policy will remain in effect as long as:

 

  1. it has a Cash Value greater than zero; and

 

  2. you make any required additional premium payments during the 61-day grace period.

 

If your Policy does not meet the conditions specified above, it will be in default. In that case, we will mail you a notice of insufficient premium that will inform you of the premium you must pay to keep your Policy in effect. You must pay this premium amount within the 61-day grace period from the date we send notice to you. If you do not pay the required premium, your Policy will end.

 

As discussed below, we have special rules relating to termination during the first three Policy Years and for three Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount if that increase became effective during the first three Policy Years.

 

Special Rules for First Three Policy Years

 

During the first three Policy Years (or the first three Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount during that period), we guarantee that your Policy will not lapse if, on each Monthly Anniversary Day, either:

 

  Your Policy’s Cash Value is greater than zero; or

 

  The sum of the premiums paid minus all partial surrenders (excluding related fees), minus any Outstanding Debt, is greater than or equal to the Minimum Monthly Premium times the number of months your Policy has been in effect (or number of months from the most recent increase in Specified Amount). We refer to this as the minimum monthly premium test.

 

Your Policy may be at risk of termination if:

 

  The insufficiency occurs after the first three Policy Years; or

 

  The minimum monthly premium test has not been met during the first three Policy Years (as described above).

 

Amounts You Must Pay to Keep Your Policy in Effect

 

If you receive a notice of insufficient premium, you must pay the amount stated in the notice to keep your Policy in effect. In general, the amount you must pay will vary based on the Policy Year of your Policy.

 

During the first three Policy Years (or within three years of an increase in Specified Amount during that period), you must pay:

 

  1. any unpaid Minimum Monthly Premium; plus

 

  2. one succeeding Minimum Monthly Premium.

 

After the third policy anniversary (or after three years from the most recent increase in Specified Amount during that period), you must pay:

 

  1. any unpaid Monthly Deduction; plus

 

  2. an amount equal to two succeeding Monthly Deductions (plus the amount of the deductions from premiums for various taxes and the sales charge).

 

39


Table of Contents

Your Policy Will Remain in Effect During the Grace Period

 

Your Policy will remain in effect through the grace period. This means that if the Insured should die during the grace period, a Death Benefit would still be payable, although we generally would reduce the Death Benefit proceeds by the unpaid Monthly Deduction as well as the Monthly Deduction for the month of death and by the amount of any Outstanding Debt. If you do not pay the required premium before the grace period ends, your Policy will terminate. It will have no value and no benefits will be payable. However, you may reinstate your Policy within certain circumstances.

 

Reinstatement

 

If you have not surrendered your Policy and it is before the maturity date, you may reinstate your Policy within five years after the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls at the beginning of the grace period. To reinstate your Policy, you must provide us the following four items:

 

  1. a written application received at our Operations Center within five years of the end of the grace period;

 

  2. satisfactory evidence to us of the insurability of the Insured;

 

  3. payment of a premium large enough to cover:

 

  a. the balance we told you in the notice of insufficient premium that was necessary to keep your Policy in effect; and

 

  b. an amount sufficient to keep your Policy in force for at least one month from the reinstatement date; and

 

  4. payment or reinstatement of any Outstanding Debt you owe us on the Policy, plus payment of interest on any reinstated Debt from the beginning of the grace period to the end of the grace period at the rate which applies to policy loans on the date of reinstatement. This is an annual rate of 5.00% for Policy Years 1-20 and 4.25% for Policy Years 21 and after.

 

We will reinstate any surrender charge that would have been outstanding on the date of reinstatement had the Policy remained in force.

 

Your Fund Value on the date of reinstatement will be based on the reinstated surrender charge, the net premium paid, the reinstated Outstanding Debt, and any Monthly Deduction due on the reinstatement date. Should we reinstate your Policy, your Policy will be reinstated on the Monthly Anniversary Day that falls on, or immediately precedes, the date we approved your application for reinstatement. At that time, we will allocate Fund Value minus Outstanding Debt (if applicable) among the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account according to your most recent scheduled premium payment allocation instructions.

 

PAYMENTS AND TELEPHONE/FACSIMILE/WEB TRANSACTIONS

 

You may send your written request for payment or transfer request to our Operations Center or give it to one of our authorized agents. We will ordinarily pay any Death Benefit proceeds, loan proceeds or surrender or partial surrender proceeds in a lump sum within seven days after receipt at our Operations Center of all the documents required for such a payment.

 

Other than the Death Benefit proceeds, which we determine as of the date the Insured’s death, the amount we pay or transfer, as appropriate, is as of the end of the Business Day during which our Operations Center receives all required documents. We may pay your surrender proceeds or Death Benefit proceeds as a lump sum or under one of the settlement options available under the Policy. Contact our your agent or our Operations Center for more information regarding the settlement options.

 

40


Table of Contents

Any Death Benefit proceeds that we pay in one lump sum will include interest from the date of death to the date of payment. We will pay interest on the proceeds at a rate of not less than 2 3/4% per year.

 

We may delay making a payment or processing a transfer request if:

 

  the New York Stock Exchange is closed on other than customary weekend and holiday closing or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC;

 

  an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Account’s net assets; or

 

  for such other periods as the SEC by order may permit.

 

We may also defer making payments attributable to a check that has not cleared the bank on which it is drawn. We reserve the right to defer payments from the Guaranteed Interest Account for up to six months.

 

If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a premium payment. We may also be required to provide additional information about your account to government regulators. In addition, we may be required to block an Owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, loans or death benefits, until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator.

 

Telephone/Facsimile/Web Transactions

 

You may request a transfer of Fund Value or change allocation instructions for future premiums by telephone, facsimile or via the Web if you have completed and signed a telephone/facsimile/Web transfer authorization form, and we have received that form at our Operations Center. You may elect these privileges when you apply for the Policy. These privileges are subject to our rules and conditions, and we have reserved the right to modify or terminate these privileges. We will process your telephone, facsimile or Web instructions as of the end of the Business Day that we receive them, subject to the limitations stated in this section and the Transfer section of the prospectus. We will only accept telephone, facsimile or Web transfer and allocation instructions if they are complete and correct.

 

We have adopted guidelines (which we believe to be reasonable) relating to telephone/facsimile/Web transfers and allocation instructions. These guidelines, among other things, outline procedures to be followed which are designed to prevent unauthorized instructions (such as recording your telephone transfer and allocation instructions). If these procedures are followed, we will not be liable for, and you will therefore bear the entire risk of, any loss as a result of our following telephone/facsimile/Web instructions if such instructions prove to be fraudulent. A copy of the guidelines and our form for electing telephone/facsimile/Web transfer privileges is available from your agent or by calling us at 1-800-487-6669.

 

Please note that our telephone or internet system may not always be available. Any telephone or internet system, whether it is yours, your service provider’s, or your registered representative’s, can experience unscheduled outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our system handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. If your are experiencing problems, you may make your transaction request by writing our Operations Center.

 

CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS

 

We will deduct the charges described below to cover our costs and expenses, services provided, and risks assumed under the Policies. We incur certain costs and expenses for the distribution and administration of the Policies and for providing the benefits payable thereunder.

 

41


Table of Contents

Services and benefits we provide:

 

  the Death Benefit, surrender benefit and loan benefit under the Policy;

 

  investment options, including premium allocations;

 

  administration of elective benefits; and

 

  the distribution of reports to Owners.

 

Costs and expenses we incur:

 

  processing applications for and issuing the Policies;

 

  maintaining records;

 

  administering settlement options;

 

  furnishing accounting and valuation services (including the calculation and monitoring of daily Subaccount values);

 

  reconciling and depositing cash receipts;

 

  those associated with underwriting applications and increases in Specified Amount;

 

  sales and marketing expense, including compensation paid in connection with the sales of the Policies;

 

  providing toll-free inquiry services;

 

  other costs of doing business, such as federal, state and local premium taxes and other taxes and fees.

 

The risks we assume include:

 

  that the Insured may live for a shorter period of time than estimated, resulting in the payment of greater Death Benefits than expected; and

 

  that the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Policies will exceed the charges deducted.

 

The amount of a charge may not necessarily correspond to the costs associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the designation of the charge. For example, surrender charges we collect may not fully cover all of the sales and distribution expenses we actually incur. We also may realize a profit on one or more of the charges. We may use any such profits for any corporate purpose, including the payment of sales expenses.

 

Deductions from Premium Payments

 

We deduct a sales charge and a tax charge from each premium payment before we apply that payment to your Fund Value. The sales charge is a percentage of each premium paid. The amount of the sales charge will be 1.45% of gross premium plus 4.00% of gross premium up to a certain premium amount in Policy Years 1-10 and will be 1.45% of gross premium in Policy Years 11 and later. Your policy will contain more specific information.

 

We also deduct a tax charge for state and local premium taxes and for federal tax on deferred acquisition costs. The state and local premium tax charge is currently 0.8% of your premium payment (this corresponds to the premium tax charged in New York). The federal tax charge for deferred acquisition costs of the Company is currently 1.25% of your premium payment and is used to cover our estimated cost for federal income tax treatment of deferred acquisition costs. We will not deduct the federal tax deferred acquisition cost charge where the premiums received from you are not subject to this tax. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the charge for taxes due to any change in tax law or due to any change in the cost to us.

Table of Contents

Deductions from the Variable Account

 

We deduct a daily maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 0.001% from each Subaccount. This corresponds to a maximum annual rate of .35% of net assets for the first 20 Policy years. For Policy years 21 and later, we currently plan to reduce this mortality and expense risk charge to 0.10% annually. We do not assess this charge against assets in the Guaranteed Interest Account or in the Loan Account. The mortality and expense risk charge is part of the net investment factor calculation we make. See “How Your Fund Value Varies.”

 

The mortality and expense risk charge compensates us for assuming mortality and expense risks under the Policies. The mortality risk we assume is that Insureds, as a group, may live for a shorter period of time than estimated. Therefore, the cost of insurance charges specified in the Policy will not be enough to meet our actual claims. The expense risk we assume is that other expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policies and operating the Variable Account will be greater than the amount estimated when setting the charges for these expenses.

 

Deductions from Fund Value – The Monthly Deduction

 

We take a Monthly Deduction from the Fund Value on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Anniversary Day. We will make the deduction by canceling Units in each Subaccount and withdrawing amounts from the Subaccount. We will take the Monthly Deduction on a pro-rata basis from the Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account (i.e., in the same proportion that the value in each Subaccount and the Guaranteed Interest Account bears to the sum of all Subaccounts and the Guaranteed Interest Account on the Monthly Anniversary Day). Because portions of the Monthly Deduction can vary from month-to-month, the Monthly Deduction will also vary.

 

The Monthly Deduction equals:

 

  The cost of insurance charge for the Policy; plus

 

  The administrative charge; plus

 

  The Monthly Expense Charge; plus

 

  The charges for any optional insurance benefits.

 

Cost of Insurance.  We assess a monthly cost of insurance charge to compensate us for insuring the Death Benefit (i.e., the anticipated cost of paying a death benefit that exceeds your Fund Value). Depending on a number of factors (such as gender, age, risk class, and policy duration), the cost of insurance charge may vary from Policy to Policy and from Monthly Anniversary Day to Monthly Anniversary Day. To determine your cost of insurance charge on a Monthly Anniversary Day, we multiply the cost of insurance rate at the Insured’s attained age by the amount at risk and divide that amount by 1,000.

 

The amount at risk depends in part on the Death Benefit Option that you selected and your Policy’s Fund Value on the Monthly Anniversary Day. Other factors that affect the amount at risk include investment performance, payment of premiums, and charges to the Policy. If you elected Death Benefit Option 1, your amount at risk on a Monthly Anniversary Day is the difference between 1 and 2 where:

 

  1. is the Death Benefit that would have been payable in the event of the death of the Insured on that Monthly Anniversary Day divided by 1.003274; and

 

  2. is the Fund Value on that Monthly Anniversary Day before we assess the Monthly Deduction.

 

43


Table of Contents

If you elected Death Benefit Option 2, your amount at risk on a Monthly Anniversary Day is equal to the sum of 1 and 2 where:

 

  1. your Specified Amount in force; and

 

  2. the excess between the Death Benefit payable on that Monthly Anniversary Day, less Fund Value on that Day, less the Specified Amount in force.

 

The cost of insurance rate for the Insured is based on age, gender, and risk class. We currently place Insureds into the following risk classes when we issue the Policy: Ultimate Select, Select Non-tobacco, Select Tobacco, Standard Non-tobacco, Standard Tobacco, or Special Class. The original risk class applies to the initial Specified Amount. The cost of insurance rate generally increases with the age of the Insured.

 

We calculate the insurance rate separately for the initial Specified Amount and for any increase in Specified Amount. A different risk class may apply to any increase, based on the Insured’s circumstances at the time of the increase in Specified Amount.

 

We may change the insurance rates from time to time at our sole discretion, but we guarantee that the insurance rates we charge will never exceed the maximum rates shown in your Policy. These rates are based on the 1980 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The maximum insurance rates are based on the Insured’s age last birthday at the start of the Policy Year. The rates we currently charge are, at most ages, lower than the maximum permitted under the Policies, and depend on our expectation of future experience with respect to investment earnings, mortality, expenses, persistency, and taxes. A change in rates will apply to all persons of the same age, gender (where applicable), and risk class and whose Policies have been in effect for the same length of time.

 

Our insurance rates distinguish between women and men. We offer Policies based on unisex mortality tables if required by law.

 

Administrative Charge.  We deduct a $25.00 charge each month to compensate us for administrative expenses during the first Policy Year. In Policy Years 2 and later, we deduct a $7.50 charge each month to compensate us for administrative expenses.

 

Monthly Expense Charge.  We deduct this charge during the first 4 Policy Years and for 4 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. This charge is made per $1,000 of Specified Amount based on the Insured’s age on the Policy Date (or date of the increase), gender, and smoking status. We show the maximum amount of these charges in the “Fee Table” section of this Prospectus.

 

Optional Insurance Benefits Charge.  We charge you each month for the optional insurance benefits you added to your Policy by rider. We state these charges in the Fee Table and your rider. We describe the charges for the Term Life Term Rider, the Purchase Option Rider and the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider. The charge for the Term Life Term Rider is deducted on the date the rider is issued and on each Monthly Anniversary Day. The charge for the Term Life Term Rider, which is based on the cost of insurance charges and on the Insured’s age, sex, risk class and the number of years after the rider is issued, has a guaranteed range of $0.08 to $10.45 per $1,000 of term insurance purchased. The charge for the Purchase Option Rider is deducted on the date the rider is issued and on each Monthly Anniversary Day until the Policy anniversary that follows the Insured’s 49th birthday. This charge varies based on the Insured’s age, and has a guaranteed range from $0.05 to $0.36 per $1,000 of purchase option insurance. The charge for the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider is also deducted when we issue the Rider and on each Monthly Anniversary Day. The guaranteed maximum charge for the Enhanced Maturity Extension Rider is $0.01 per $1,000 of Specified Amount plus term insurance.

Transaction Charges

 

Surrender Charge.  We assess a surrender charge against Fund Value upon a full surrender of the Policy to reimburse us for the costs of selling the Policies. We base the surrender charge on a factor per $1,000 of initial Specified Amount (or upon an increase in Specified Amount); this factor grades from 80% to zero over 15 years for Insured’s age 70 or younger (over 11 years for Insured issue ages 71-85) based on a schedule. The factors per $1,000 vary by issue age, gender, and risk class. The grading percentages (as shown below) vary based on issue age and number of full years since we issued the Policy (or since we increased the Specified Amount).

Example: If a male Insured age 35 purchases a Policy with a Specified Amount of $100,000, the per $1,000 of initial Specified Amount surrender charge factor would be $6.40 (Standard Non-Tobacco). The maximum surrender charge during the first seven Policy Years would be 80% of (100 x 6.40) or $512.00.

 

The maximum surrender charge per $1,000 of initial Specified Amount factor would be $47.60 based upon the assumptions described above and if the Policy were purchased by a male insured age 78 through 85, standard tobacco, or age 81 through 85 select tobacco.

 

We do not assess a surrender charge for partial surrenders. We do, however, assess a partial surrender fee on each partial surrender.

 

Partial Surrender Fee.  We deduct a partial surrender fee of $10 on each partial surrender you make. We allocate the fee between your remaining Fund Value in the Subaccounts and in the Guaranteed Interest Account on a pro-rata basis, based on the allocation percentages you specified for the partial surrender.

 

Transfer Charge.  We reserve, the right to assess a $25 transfer charge for each transfer you make after the 12th transfer in any Policy Year. We do not currently assess this charge. If we assess a transfer charge, first we will allocate the transfer charge against the elected Subaccounts and/or the Guaranteed Interest Account from which you are requesting that Fund Value be transferred.

 

Illustration Projection Report Charge.  You may request that we prepare an illustration projection report at any time after the first policy anniversary by writing us at the Operations Center. The illustration projection report will project future benefits and values under your Policy. We may impose a charge for each illustration projection report we prepare. We will notify you in advance of the amount of the charge.

 

Other Charges.  We may charge the Subaccounts for federal income taxes that we incur and are attributable to the Variable Account. No such charge is currently assessed. In addition, there are fees and charges deducted from the assets of the Funds. These deductions are described in each Fund’s prospectus.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

Introduction

 

The following provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover all tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisors should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the present federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

Tax Status of the Policy

 

In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under federal tax law, a policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we believe that the policy should generally satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance with respect to policies issued on a special risk class basis and policies with term riders added and it is not clear whether such policies will in all cases satisfy the applicable requirements particularly if you pay the full amount of premiums permitted under the policy and you select the guideline premium/cash value corridor test. If it is subsequently determined that a policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, we may take appropriate steps to bring the policy into compliance with such requirements and we reserve the right to restrict policy transactions in order to do so.

 

In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying Variable Account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although published guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the policies, we believe that the owner of a policy should not be treated as the owner of the MONY Variable Account L assets. We reserve the right to modify the policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying Variable Account assets.

 

In addition, the Code requires that the investments of MONY Variable Account L be “adequately diversified” in order for the policies to be treated as life insurance contracts for federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the Variable Account, through the Funds, will satisfy these diversification requirements.

 

The following discussion assumes that the policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.

 

Treatment of Policy Benefits

 

General.  We believe that the death benefit under a policy should generally be excludible from the gross income of the beneficiary. Federal, state and local transfer, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary. A tax advisor should be consulted on these consequences.

 

Generally, the policy owner will not be deemed to be in actual constructive receipt of the policy cash value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loans are taken out from or secured by a policy, the tax consequences depend on whether the policy is classified as a “Modified Endowment Contract.”

 

Modified Endowment Contracts.  Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as Modified Endowment Contracts, with less favorable income tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the policy’s flexibility with respect to premium payments and benefits, each policy’s

 

46


Table of Contents

circumstances will determine whether the policy is a Modified Endowment Contract. In general, however, a policy will be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract if the amount of premiums paid into the policy causes the policy to fail the “7-pay test.” A policy will fail the 7-pay test if at any time in the first seven policy years, the amount paid into the policy exceeds the sum of the level premiums that would have been paid at that point under a policy that provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual payments.

 

If there is a reduction in the benefits under the policy during the first seven policy years, for example, as a result of a partial withdrawal, the 7-pay test will have to be reapplied as if the policy had originally been issued at the reduced face amount. If there is a “material change” in the policy’s benefits or other terms, even after the first seven policy years, the policy may have to be retested as if it were a newly issued policy. A material change can occur, for example, when there is an increase in the death benefit which is due to the payment of an unnecessary premium. Unnecessary premiums are premiums paid into the policy which are not needed in order to provide a death benefit equal to the lowest death benefit that was payable in the first seven policy years. To prevent your policy from becoming a Modified Endowment Contract, it may be necessary to limit premium payments or to limit reductions in benefits. A current or prospective policy owner should consult with a competent advisor to determine whether a policy transaction will cause the policy to be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract.

 

Distributions Other Than Death Benefits from Modified Endowment Contracts.  Policies classified as Modified Endowment Contracts are subject to the following tax rules:

 

  1. All distributions other than death benefits, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, from a Modified Endowment Contract will be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income and then as tax-free recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy only after all gain in the Policy has been distributed.

 

  2. Loans taken from or secured by a policy classified as a Modified Endowment Contract are treated as distributions and taxed accordingly.

 

  3. A 10 percent additional penalty tax is imposed on the amount subject to tax except where the distribution or loan is made when the policy owner has attained age 59 1/2 or is disabled, or where the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the policy owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the policy owner and the policy owner’s beneficiary or designated beneficiary. A corporate or other non-natural person owner will not meet any of these exceptions.

 

If a policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract, distributions that occur during the contract year will be taxed as distributions from a Modified Endowment Contract. In addition, distributions from a policy within two years before it becomes a Modified Endowment Contract may be taxed in this manner. This means that a distribution made from a policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract could later become taxable as a distribution from a Modified Endowment Contract.

 

Distributions Other Than Death Benefits from Policies that are not Modified Endowment Contracts.

Distributions other than death benefits from a policy that is not classified as a Modified Endowment Contract are generally treated first as a recovery of the policy owner’s investment in the policy and only after the recovery of all investment in the policy as taxable income. However, certain distributions which must be made in order to enable the policy to continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes if policy benefits are reduced during the first 15 Policy years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax.

 

Loans from or secured by a policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract are generally not treated as distributions. However, the tax consequences associated with loans after the twentieth policy year are less clear and a tax adviser should be consulted about such loans.

 

Finally, neither distributions from nor loans from or secured by a policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract are subject to the 10 percent additional penalty tax.

 

47


Table of Contents

Investment in the Policy.  Your investment in the policy is generally your aggregate premiums. When a distribution is taken from the policy, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax-free.

 

Policy Loans.  In general, interest on a policy loan will not be deductible. If a policy loan is outstanding when a policy is canceled or lapses, the amount of the outstanding in Outstanding Debt will be added to the amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a tax adviser as to the tax consequences.

 

Multiple Policies.  All Modified Endowment Contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same policy owner during any calendar year can be treated as one Modified Endowment Contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the policy owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.

 

Withholding.  To the extent that policy distributions are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding for the recipient’s federal income tax liability. Recipients can generally elect, however, not to have tax withheld from distributions.

 

Continuation of Policy Beyond Age 100.  The tax consequences of continuing the policy beyond the insured’s 100th year are unclear. You should consult a tax adviser if you intend to keep the policy in force beyond the insured’s 100th year.

 

Business Uses of Policy.   Businesses can use the policies in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, tax exempt and nonexempt welfare benefit plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances. If you are purchasing the policy for any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, you should consult a qualified tax adviser. In recent years, moreover, Congress has adopted new rules relating to life insurance owned by businesses. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a tax adviser.

 

Split Dollar Arrangements.  The IRS and the Treasury Department have recently issued guidance that substantially affects split-dollar arrangements. Consult a qualified tax adviser before entering into or paying additional premiums with respect to such arrangements.

 

Alternative Minimum Tax.  There may also be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the Owner is subject to that tax.

 

Other Tax Considerations.  The transfer of the policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. For example, the transfer of the policy to, or the designation as a beneficiary or, or the payment of proceeds to, a person who is assigned to a generation which is two or more generations below the generation assignment of the owner may have generation-skipping transfer tax consequences under federal tax law. The individual situation of each owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes.

 

Possible Tax Law Changes.  Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could change by legislation or otherwise. Consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the policy.

 

Our Income Taxes

 

Currently we do not deduct a charge from the Variable Account for federal income taxes. We reserve the right to charge MONY America Variable Account L for any future federal income taxes we may incur.

 

48


Table of Contents

Under current laws, we may incur state and local taxes in addition to premium taxes. These additional taxes are not now significant and we are not currently charging for them. If they increase, we may deduct charges for such additional taxes.

 

OTHER POLICY INFORMATION

 

Exchange Privilege

 

During the first 24 months following the Policy Date, you may exchange your Policy for a policy where the investment experience is guaranteed. To accomplish this, the entire amount in the Subaccounts of the Variable Account is transferred to the Guaranteed Interest Account. All future premiums are allocated to the Guaranteed Interest Account. This serves as an exchange of your Policy for the equivalent of a flexible premium universal life policy. No charge is imposed on the transfer when you exercise the exchange privilege.

 

Paid-up Insurance

 

You may change to guaranteed paid-up insurance on a Policy anniversary. At that time, the Specified Amount will be reduced to an amount that the Cash Value will maintain in effect until the maturity date when applied as a net single premium. However, the maximum amount of Cash Value applied will not be greater than necessary to provide an amount at risk equal to the amount at risk immediately before this option becomes effective. We will refund to you any Cash Value in excess of the amount we applied.

 

Assignment

 

You may assign any interest in your Policy to another person. You must send written notice of the assignment to us at our Operations Center. The assignment will take effect once we have recorded the assignment. We may rely solely on the statement of the assignee as to the amount of his or her interest. All assignments will be subject to Outstanding Debt and any action we took before the assignment took effect. Please see your Policy for more information.

 

Settlement Options

 

We offer several settlement options as alternatives to the payment of Death Benefit proceeds or Cash Value in a lump sum.

 

In selecting a settlement option: (1) the proceeds applied must be at least $1,000; and (2) the payee cannot be a corporation, association, or fiduciary. We will make payments under a settlement option monthly unless you or the payee request that we make the payments quarterly, semiannually or annually. If payments of the chosen frequency would be less than $25 each, we may use a less frequent payment basis.

 

You, while the Insured is living, or your payee (not more than one month after the proceeds become payable) may select a settlement option by writing us at our Operations Center. Please see your Policy for more information about the settlement options.

 

Misstatement of Age or Sex

 

If you misstated the Insured’s age or sex in your application, we will adjust the Death Benefit proceeds.

 

Suicide Exclusion

 

If the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the Policy Date or reinstatement date, we will limit the Death Benefit proceeds to the premium payments less any partial surrender amounts (and their

 

49


Table of Contents

fees) and any Outstanding Debt. If an Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the effective date of any increase in the Specified Amount, the amount payable with respect to that increase will be limited to the cost of insurance charges you paid with respect to such increase.

 

Incontestability

 

The Policy limits our right to contest the Policy as issued or as increased, except for material misstatements contained in the application or a supplemental application, after it has been in force during the Insured’s lifetime for a minimum period, generally for two years from the Policy Date, or effective date of the increase in Specified Amount.

 

Other Changes to Your Policy

 

At any time, we may make such changes in the Policy as are necessary:

 

  to assure compliance at all times with the definition of life insurance prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code;

 

  to make the Policy, our operations, or the operation of the Variable Account conform with any law or regulation issued by any government agency to which they are subject; or

 

  to reflect a change in the operation of the Variable Account, if allowed by the Policy.

 

Only one of our executive officers has the right to change the Policy. No agent has the authority to change the Policy or waive any of its terms. An executive officer of the Company must sign all endorsements, amendments, or riders to be valid.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

Sale of the Policies

 

We have entered into a distribution agreement with MONY Securities Corporation (“MSC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MONY Life Insurance Company, to act as principal underwriter and for the distribution and sale of the Policies. MSC is registered as a broker dealer under the Securities Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as with the securities commissions in the states in which it operates, and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). The Policies are sold by individuals who are registered representatives of MSC and who are also licensed as life insurance agents for the Company. The Policies may also be sold through other broker-dealers authorized by MSC and applicable law to do so.

 

MSC offers the Policies through its registered representatives who are registered with the NASD and with the states in which they do business. More information about MSC and its registered persons is available at http://www.nasdr.com or by calling 1-800-289-9999. You also can obtain an investor brochure from NASD Regulation describing its Public Disclosure Program.

 

Compensation payable to MSC’s sales representatives for the sale of the Policies will be based upon the following schedule. After issue of the Policy, commissions will equal at most 50% of premiums paid up to a maximum amount. Thereafter, commissions will equal at most 3.8% of any additional premiums plus, beginning in the second Policy Year on each succeeding quarterly anniversary for so long as the policy shall remain in effect, an annualized rate of 0.25% of the Fund Value of the Policy. Upon any subsequent increase in Specified Amount, commissions will equal at most 50% of premiums paid on or after the increase up to a maximum amount. Thereafter, commissions will return to no more than the 3.8% level. Further, registered representatives may be eligible to receive certain bonuses and other benefits based on the amount of earned commissions.

 

 

50


Table of Contents

In addition, registered representatives who meet specified production levels may qualify, under sales incentive programs adopted by the Company, to receive non-cash compensation such as expense-paid trips, expense-paid educational seminars and merchandise. The Company makes no separate deductions, other than previously described, from premiums to pay sales commissions or sales expenses.

 

MSC will receive 12b-1 fees from certain of the Funds as compensation for providing certain distribution and shareholder support services.

 

MSC may enter into selling agreements with other broker dealers that are members of the NASD and whose representatives are authorized by applicable law to sell variable life insurance policies. Commissions paid to these broker dealers for their representatives will not exceed the commissions described above. The selling agreement does not restrict these broker dealers from retaining a portion of commissions.

 

Commissions or overrides may also be paid to broker-dealers providing wholesaling services such as sales support and training for sales representatives who sell the Policies. MSC may pay certain selling firms additional amounts for sales promotions relating to the Policies and costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives. The terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling broker-dealers.

 

We intend to recapture commissions and other sales expenses through fees and charges imposed under the Policy. Commissions paid on the Policy, including other incentives or payments, are not charged directly to the Policy owners or the Variable Account.

 

Other Information

 

We filed a registration statement with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the Policies being offered here. This prospectus does not include all of the information set forth in the registration statement (including the Statement of Additional Information), its amendments, and exhibits. Statements in this prospectus about the content of the Policies and other legal instruments are summaries. For the complete text of those Policies and instruments, please refer to those documents as filed with the SEC. You may obtain these documents from the SEC’s principal office in Washington, D.C., upon payment of the SEC’s prescribed fees, or by assessing the SEC’s website at http//www.sec.gov.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company, like all other companies, is involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving insurance companies, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that at the present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on us or the Variable Account.

 

Recently, there has been a significant increase in federal and state regulatory activity in the financial services industry relating to numerous issues, including market timing and late trading of mutual fund and variable insurance products. The Company, like many others in the financial services industry, has received requests for information from the SEC seeking documentation and other information relating to these issues. In addition, the SEC has recently conducted an on-site examination of the Company’s variable separate accounts. The Company has been responding to these requests and continues to cooperate fully with the regulators.

 

POLICY ILLUSTRATIONS

 

Upon request, the Company will send you an illustration of future benefits under the Policy based on both guaranteed and current cost assumptions. You should obtain a personalized illustration before purchasing a Policy.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

 

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

 

MONY Life Insurance Company issues the Policies. We are currently licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in all 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

 

The Company was founded in 1842 as The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. In 1998, The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York converted to a stock company through demutualization and was renamed MONY Life Insurance Company. The demutualization did not have any material effect on the obligations of the Company under the policies or on MONY Variable Account L.

 

MONY Securities Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the principal underwriter for the Policies.

 

We are subject to regulation by the state of New York and regulation by the Superintendent of Insurance in New York. We file an annual statement with the state of New York, and periodically, the Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New York assesses our liabilities and reserves and those of the Variable Account and assesses their adequacy. We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of other states in which we are licensed to operate.

 

MONY VARIABLE ACCOUNT L

 

The Variable Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), and meets the definition of a separate account under the federal securities laws.

 

ADDITIONAL POLICY INFORMATION

 

THE POLICY

 

The Policy, any attached riders and/or endorsements, the application and any supplemental applications make up the entire contract. Only statements made in the applications can be used to void the Policy or to deny a claim. We assume that all statements in an application are made to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person(s) who made them, and, in the absence of fraud, those statements are considered representations and not warranties. We rely on those statements when we issue or change a Policy.

 

PAID-UP INSURANCE

 

On any policy anniversary, you may change to guaranteed paid-up insurance. At the time of the change, we will reduce the Policy’s Specified Amount to an amount that the Policy’s Cash Value will keep in effect until the maturity date when applied as a single net premium. The maximum amount of Cash Value that we will apply will not be any greater than needed to provide an amount at risk that is equal to the amount at risk immediately prior to this option becoming effective. You will be refunded any Cash Value in excess of the amount we applied. You can discuss with your agent to learn more about this option.

 

The net single premium rates will be based on: (a) the 1980 CSO mortality tables at the Insured’s gender and attained age and class of risk on the later of the policy date and the most recent increase in coverage under the policy; and (b) 4.0% interest. On and after the effective date, the Cash Value of the paid-up coverage will equal the present value of future guaranteed benefits based on the net single premium rates described above without regard to any loans.

 

To obtain paid-up insurance, we must receive a written request 30 days before the policy anniversary date on which it becomes effective. The endorsement issued to reflect the change to paid-up insurance will show the reduced Specified Amount and the guaranteed Cash Value on the effective date and each policy anniversary thereafter.

 

(1)


Table of Contents

Once the paid-up insurance option is effective the following conditions apply:

 

  1. It may not be revoked.

 

  2. The Company will not accept any further premium.

 

  3. No further optional policy changes may be made.

 

  4. The Policy is no longer subject to the administrative charge and the Monthly Expense Charge.

 

  5. Any surrender charge, loan balance and loan interest which existed immediately before the effective date will be set to zero.

 

  6. Any partial surrender will result in a recalculation of the Specified Amount and Cash Value.

 

  7. Any additional benefits provided by rider will terminate.

 

The Death Benefit will equal the reduced Specified Amount.

 

OUR RIGHT TO CONTEST THE POLICY

 

In issuing the Policy, we rely on all statements made by or for you and/or the Insured in the application or in a supplemental application. Therefore, we may contest the validity of the Policy based on material misstatements made in the application (or any supplemental application).

 

However, we will not contest the Policy as issued or as increased, except for material misstatements contained in the application or a supplemental application, after it has been in force during the Insured’s lifetime for a minimum period, generally for two years from the Policy Date, or effective date of the increase in Specified Amount.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

This Policy is non-participating. We do not pay dividends on the Policy.

 

BENEFICIARY

 

You name the Beneficiary when you apply for the Policy. You may designate if the Beneficiary has to be living or surviving at the Insured’s death. If you so designate, then, unless otherwise provided, that Beneficiary must be living on the 14th day after the Insured’s death or, if earlier, the date we receive due proof of the Insured’s death. The share of the Death Benefit proceeds of any Beneficiary who is not living on the earlier day will be payable to remaining Beneficiaries. Unless provided in the Beneficiary designation, if there is no Beneficiary named or living on the date of the Insured’s death, we will pay the Death Benefit proceeds to the Insured’s executors or administrators.

 

You may change the Beneficiary, unless you have given up this right, as long as the Insured is living by writing us at our Operations Center. The change will take effect when we record it retroactively as of the date the request was signed. The change will be subject to any payment we made before we received notice of the change of Beneficiary at our Operations Center.

 

ASSIGNING THE POLICY

 

You may assign any interest in your Policy to another person. You must send written notice of the assignment to us at our Administrative Office. The assignment will take effect once we have recorded the assignment. We may rely solely on the statement of the assignee as to the amount of his or her interest. All assignments will be subject to Outstanding Debt. Assignment of a Policy may have adverse tax consequences. Consult the section on “Tax Considerations” in the Prospectus for more information.

Table of Contents

THE PORTFOLIOS

 

We will purchase shares of the portfolios at net asset value and direct them to the corresponding Subaccount. We will redeem sufficient shares of the appropriate portfolios at net asset value to pay surrender/partial surrender proceeds or other purposes described in your Policy. In general, we will automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions received from a portfolio in shares of the distributing portfolio at net asset value on the date of distribution. In other words, we do not pay portfolio dividends or portfolio distributions out to Owners as additional Units, but instead reflect them in Unit values. We may elect not to reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions.

 

Shares of Fund portfolios are not sold directly to the general public. They are offered to insurance company separate accounts to support variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and to qualified plans.

 

When shares are sold to both variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, this is called “mixed funding.” When shares are sold to insurance companies that are not affiliated with each other, this is called “shared funding.” Currently, we do not foresee any disadvantages to Owners due to mixed or shared funding. However, differences in tax treatment or other considerations may at some time create conflict of interests between owners of various contracts. The Company and the Boards of Directors of the Funds, and any other insurance companies that participate in the Funds are required to monitor events to identify material conflicts. If there is a conflict because of mixed or shared funding, a company might be required to withdraw the investment of one or more of its separate accounts from the Funds. This might force the Funds to sell securities at disadvantageous prices. See the prospectuses for the Funds.

 

SETTLEMENT OPTIONS

 

We offer the following settlement options as alternatives to the payment of Death Benefit proceeds or Cash Value in a lump sum:

 

Option 1. Interest Income – Under this option, we hold the proceeds and credit the interest earned on those proceeds to the payee. We set the rate of interest for each year, but that rate will never be less than 2 3/4 a year. This Option will continue until the earlier of the date the payee dies or the date you elect another settlement option.

 

Option 2. Income for Specified Period – Under this option, the payee receives an income for the number of years chosen. We then calculate an income that will be based on the Minimum Monthly Income Table 2 for that period. Note that the longer the period selected (i.e., number of years) the lower the dollar amount per $1,000 of proceeds. Payments may be increased by additional interest as we may determine for each year.

 

Option 3. Single Life Income – Under this option, a number of years called the period certain is chosen. We will then pay income to a single payee for as long as that payee lives or for the number of years chosen (the period certain), whichever is longer. If the payee dies after the end of the period certain, the income payments will stop. The period certain elected may be: (a) 0, 10, or 20 years; or (b) until the total income payments equal the proceeds applied (this is called a refund period certain).

 

We will calculate the amount of the income payments on the date the proceeds become payable. This amount will be at least as much as the applicable amount shown in the Minimum Monthly Income Table 3 shown in your Policy. The income amounts are based on the 1983 Table “a” (discrete functions, without projections for future mortality) with a 3 1/2 interest.

 

If the income payments for the period certain elected are the same as income payments based on another available longer period certain, we will deem an election to have been made for the longer period certain.

 

Option 3A. Joint Life Income – We pay income during the joint lifetime of two people (the payee and another person). That means if one person dies, we will continue to pay the same income (or a lesser income) to the survivor for as long as the survivor lives.

 

(3)


Table of Contents

The survivor may receive the same dollar amount that we were paying before the first payee died or two-thirds of that amount depending on the election made at the time of settlement. Note that if the lesser (two-thirds) amount paid to the survivor is elected, the dollar amount payable while both persons are living will be larger than it would have been if the same amount paid to the survivor had been elected.

 

We will calculate the amount of income payable while both persons are living (the joint lifetime) on the date the proceeds become payable. This amount will be at least as much as the applicable amount shown in the Minimum Monthly Income Table 3A shown in your Policy. The minimum income amounts are based on the 1983 Table “a” (discrete functions, without projections for future mortality) with 3 1/2 interest.

 

If a person for whom Option 3A is chosen dies before the first income amount is payable, the survivor will receive settlement instead under Option 3 with 10 years certain.

 

Option 4. Income of Specified Amount – Under this option, the dollar amount of the income payments is chosen. We will pay that amount for as long as the proceeds and interest last but, the dollar amount chosen must add up to a yearly amount of at least 10% of the proceeds applied. Interest will be credited annually on the balance of the proceeds. We set the rate of interest for each year, but that rate will never be less than 2 3/4 a year.

 

We also may pay proceeds under any other option to which we and the payee may agree.

 

Before paying Option 3 or 3A, we will require proof of age of the payee that satisfies us.

 

Even if the death benefit under the Policy is excludible from income, payments under Settlement Options may not be excludible in full. This is because earnings on the death benefit after the insured’s death are taxable and payments under the Settlement Options generally include such earnings. You should consult a tax adviser as to the tax treatment of payments under the Settlement Options.

 

SALE OF THE POLICIES

 

MSC is the principal underwriter for the Policies. MSC may enter into selling agreements with other broker dealers that are members of the NASD and whose representatives are authorized by law to sell variable life insurance policies.

MSC may pay additional compensation from its own resources to broker dealers based on the level of Policy sales or premium payments.

 

MSC also acts as principal underwriter for other variable products and distributes non-proprietary variable products and mutual funds.

 

We offer the Policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the Policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering.

MSC passes through commissions it receives and does not retain any override as distributor for the Policies. However, under the distribution agreement with MSC, we pay the following sales expenses: sales representative training allowances; deferred compensation and insurance benefits of registered persons; advertising expenses; and all other expenses of distributing the Policies. We also pay for MSC’s operating and other expenses as it relates to the Policies.

 

Because sales representatives of MSC are also insurance agents of the Company, they are eligible for various cash benefits, such as bonuses, insurance benefits and financing arrangements, and non-cash compensation programs that the Company offers. These programs include conferences, seminars, meals, sporting events, theater performances, payment for travel, lodging and entertainment, prizes, and awards, subject to applicable regulatory requirements. Sales of the Policies may help sales representatives qualify for such benefits. Sales representatives may receive other payments from the Company for services that do not directly involve the sale of the Policies, including payments made for the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature, and similar services. In addition, MSC sales representatives who meet certain Company productivity, persistency and length of service standards may be eligible for additional compensation.

 

We may pay certain broker-dealers an additional bonus after the first Policy year for sales by their sales representatives, which may be up to the amount of the basic commission for the particular Policy year. These broker-dealers may share the bonus or other additional compensation with their sales representatives. In addition, we may reimburse these broker-dealers for portions of their Policy sales expenses.

 

Certain Funds have adopted a distribution plan in connection with its 12b-1 shares and pay MSC for its costs in distributing these shares, all or some of which may be passed on to a selling broker-dealer that has entered into a selling agreement with MSC. Each distribution plan has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which allows funds to pay fees to those who sell and distribute fund shares out of fund assets. The 12b-1 fees are in consideration of distribution services and expenses incurred in the performance of MSC’s obligations under an agreement with that Fund. Under the distribution plans up to 0.25% is paid to MSC for its distribution-related services and expenses under this agreement. The advisers for certain Funds may, from time to time use their management fee revenue, as well as their past profits or their other resources as may be permitted by regulatory rules, to make payments for distribution services to MSC, which may in turn pay part or all of such compensation to a broker-dealer of record with whom it has entered into a selling agreement.

 

Sales charges deducted from premium payments, as well as Proceeds from the contingent deferred sales charge on the Policies are retained by us and used to defray the expenses we incur in paying for distribution-related services under the distribution agreement, such as the payment of commissions. Commissions paid on the Policy, including other incentives or payments, are not charged directly to the Policy Owners or the Variable Account.

 

From time to time the Company, in conjunction with MSC, may conduct special sales programs.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

POLICIES ISSUED IN CONJUNCTION WITH EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

Policies may be acquired in conjunction with employee benefit plans (“EBS Policies”), including the funding of qualified pension plans meeting the requirements of Section 401 of the Code. For EBS Policies, the maximum mortality rates used to determine the monthly cost of insurance charge are based on the Commissioners’ 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables NB and SB. Under these tables, mortality rates are the same for male and female insureds of a particular attained age and premium class. Illustrations reflecting the premiums and charges for EBS Policies will be provided upon request to purchasers of these Policies. There is no provision for misstatement of sex in the EBS Policies. Also, the rates used to determine the amount payable under a particular settlement option will be the same for male and female insureds.

LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING UNISEX ACTUARIAL TABLES

 

In 1983, the United States Supreme Court held in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that optional annuity benefits provided under an employee’s deferred compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, vary between men and women on the basis of sex. In that case, the Supreme Court applied its decision only to benefits derived from contributions made on or after August 1, 1983. Subsequent decisions of lower federal courts indicate that, in other factual circumstances, the Title VII prohibition of sex-distinct benefits may apply at an earlier date. In addition, legislative, regulatory, or decisional authority of some states may prohibit the use of sex-distinct mortality tables under certain circumstances. The Policies, other than Policies issued in states which require “unisex” policies (currently Montana), are based upon actuarial tables which distinguish between men and women and, thus, the Policy provides different benefits to men and women of the same age. Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of these authorities on any employment-related insurance or benefits program before purchasing the Policy.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Board of Directors of

MONY Life Insurance Company and the

Contractholders of Subaccounts of MONY Variable Account L

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Subaccounts of MONY Variable Account L at December 31, 2003, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of MONY Life Insurance Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments at December 31, 2003 by correspondence with the underlying funds’ transfer agents, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MONY

 

Variable Account L

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

1.  Organization and Business

 

MONY Variable Account L (the “Variable Account”) is a separate investment account established on November 28, 1990 by MONY Life Insurance Company (“MONY”), under the laws of the State of New York.

 

The Variable Account operates as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Variable Account holds assets that are segregated from all of MONY‘s other assets and, at present, is used to support Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance policies, which include Variable Life (MONY Strategist), Variable Universal Life (MONY Equity Master, MONY Custom Equity Master, MONY Custom Estate Master and MONY Variable Universal Life), and MONY Survivorship Variable Universal Life, collectively, the Variable Life Insurance Policies. These policies are issued by MONY.

 

There are sixty-one MONY Life subaccounts within the Variable Account, each of which invests only in a corresponding portfolio of the MONY Series Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”), the Enterprise Accumulation Trust (“Enterprise”), Alger American Fund, INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Lord Abbett Series Fund, MFS Variable Insurance Trust, PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, PBHG Insurance Series Fund, AIM Variable Insurance Funds, Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust, Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products, Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc., Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Dreyfus Investment Portfolios, The Universal Institutional Funds, or Janus Aspen Series (collectively, the “Funds). The Funds are registered under the 1940 Act as open-end, management investment companies. The Fund and Enterprise are affiliated with MONY.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Variable Account combined all subaccounts investing in the same class of the same portfolio of the Funds. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are presented for each portfolio of the Funds rather than for each Variable Life Insurance Policy as if the subaccounts were combined on January 1, 2002. Combining these subaccounts had no effect on the net assets of the subaccounts or unit values of the Variable Life Insurance Policies.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of the Funds which were distributed by MONY to the Policyholders.

 

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investments:

 

The investment in shares of each of the respective Funds’ portfolios is stated at value which is the net asset value of the respective portfolio, as reported by such portfolio. Net asset values are based upon market or fair valuations of the securities held in each of the corresponding portfolios of the Funds. For the Money Market Portfolio, the net asset value is based on the amortized cost of the securities held, which approximates market value.

 

Investment Transactions and Investment Income:

 

Investments in the portfolios of the Funds are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on redemption of investments in the portfolios of the Funds are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions of net realized gains are recorded on ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions received are reinvested in additional shares of the respective portfolios of the Funds.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Taxes:

 

MONY is currently taxed as a life insurance company and will include the Variable Account’s operations in its tax return. MONY does not expect, based on current tax law, to incur any income tax burden upon the earnings or realized gains attributable to the Variable Account. Based on this expectation, no charges are currently being deducted from the Variable Account for federal income tax purposes.

 

3.  Related Party Transactions

 

MONY is the legal owner of the assets held by the Variable Account.

 

Policy premiums received from MONY by the Variable Account represent gross policy premiums recorded by MONY less deductions retained as compensation for certain sales distribution expenses and premium taxes.

 

The cost of insurance, administration charges, and, if applicable, the cost of any optional benefits added by riders to the insurance policies are deducted monthly from the cash value of the contract to compensate MONY. A surrender charge may be imposed by MONY when a full or partial surrender is requested by the policyholders. These deductions are treated as contractholder redemptions by the Variable Account. The amount deducted for the Variable Account for the year ended December 31, 2003 aggregated $7,156,247.

 

MONY receives from the Variable Account the amounts deducted for mortality and expense risks at an annual rate of 0.35% to 0.75% of average daily net assets of each of the MONY Variable Life subaccounts.

 

Enterprise Capital Management, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MONY, acts as investment adviser to the portfolios of Enterprise, and it receives amounts paid by Enterprise for those services.

 

MONY and MONY Life Insurance Company of America (“MONY America”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MONY, receive fees directly from certain Funds for maintaining and servicing policyholders’ accounts. During the year ended December 31, 2003, MONY received $13,628 in aggregate from certain Funds in connection with MONY Life subaccounts.

 

MONY America acts as investment adviser to the Fund and receives amounts paid by the Fund for those services.

 

On September 17, 2003, The MONY Group, Inc. (“MONY Group,” the ultimate parent of MONY and MONY America) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”), and AIMA Acquisition Co. (“AIMA”), which was subsequently amended on February 22, 2004 (hereafter referred to collectively as the “AXA Agreement”), pursuant to which MONY Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial. The acquisition contemplated by the AXA Agreement is subject to various regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, including the approval of MONY Group’s shareholders. A special meeting of MONY Group’s shareholders is scheduled for May 18, 2004 to vote on the proposed acquisition of MONY Group by AXA Financial. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2004.

 

On January 13, 2004 and February 4, 2004 the Board of Trustees of Enterprise and the Board of Directors of the Fund (collectively “the Trusts”), respectively, approved resolutions to merge the Trusts into the EQ Advisors Trust, a registered investment company managed by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, a subsidiary of AXA Financial. These mergers are subject to the approvals of the shareholders of each of the Trusts and are conditional upon completion of the proposed acquisition of MONY Group by AXA Financial.

5.  Financial Highlights

 

The Variable Life Insurance Policies have unique combinations of features and fees that are charged against the contract owner’s account balance. Differences in the fee structures result in a variety of unit values, expense ratios and total returns.

 

Effective for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Variable Account has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 03-5 Financial Highlights of Separate Accounts: An Amendment to the Audit and Accounting Guide Audits of Investment Companies, which requires the disclosure of ranges for certain financial highlights information. The following table was developed by determining which Variable Life Insurance Policies funded by the Variable Account have the lowest and highest expense ratio. Only product designs within each subaccount that had units outstanding throughout the year ended December 31, 2003 were considered when determining the lowest and highest expense ratio. The summary may not reflect the minimum and maximum contract charges offered by MONY as contract owners may not have selected all available and applicable contract options discussed in Note 1. The ranges for the total return ratio and unit value correspond to the product groupings that produced the lowest and highest expense ratios.

* This ratio represents the amount of dividend income, excluding distributions from net realized gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying fund, net of investment advisory fees assessed by the underlying fund’s investment adviser and other expenses of the underlying fund, divided by the average net assets of the subaccount. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the net asset value per Unit. The recognition of dividend income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** This ratio represents the annual contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to net asset value per Unit. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts by redemption of Units and expenses of the respective underlying fund are excluded from this ratio.
*** Represents the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund and reflects deductions for all items included in the Expense Ratio. The Total Return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of Units; the Total Return would have been lower had such expenses been included in the calculation. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. The Total Return is calculated for the year ended December 31, 2003 or from the commencement of operations of the Subaccount.
(^) Annualized.

* This ratio represents the amount of dividend income, excluding distributions from net realized gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying fund, net of investment advisory fees assessed by the underlying fund’s investment adviser and other expenses of the underlying fund, divided by the average net assets of the subaccount. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the net asset value per Unit. The recognition of dividend income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** This ratio represents the annual contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to net asset value per Unit. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts by redemption of Units and expenses of the respective underlying fund are excluded from this ratio.
*** Represents the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the Expense Ratio. The Total Return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of Units; the Total Return would have been lower had such expenses been included in the calculation. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

* This ratio represents the amount of dividend income, excluding distributions from net realized gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying fund, net of investment advisory fees assessed by the underlying fund’s investment adviser and other expenses of the underlying fund, divided by the average net assets of the subaccount. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the net asset value per Unit. The recognition of dividend income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** This ratio represents the annual contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to net asset value per Unit. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts by redemption of Units and expenses of the respective underlying fund are excluded from this ratio.
*** Represents the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the Expense Ratio. The Total Return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of Units; the Total Return would have been lower had such expenses been included in the calculation. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

  * This ratio represents the amount of dividend income, excluding distributions from net realized gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying fund, net of investment advisory fees assessed by the underlying fund’s investment adviser and other expenses of the underlying fund, divided by the average net assets of the subaccount. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the net asset value per Unit. The recognition of dividend income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.
  ** This ratio represents the annual contract expenses of the separate account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to net asset value per Unit. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts by redemption of Units and expenses of the respective underlying fund are excluded from this ratio.
  *** Represents the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the Expense Ratio. The Total Return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of Units; the Total Return would have been lower had such expenses been included in the calculation. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of changes in shareholder’s equity and statements of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MONY Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.  Organization and Description of Business:

 

MONY Life Insurance Company (“MONY Life”) and its subsidiaries (MONY Life and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), provide life insurance, annuities, corporate-owned and bank-owned life insurance (“COLI and BOLI”), mutual funds, securities brokerage, securities trading, business and estate planning and trust services. The Company distributes its products and services through Retail and Wholesale distribution channels. The Company’s Retail distribution channels are comprised of (i) the career agency sales force operated by MONY Life, and (ii) financial advisors and account executives of the Company’s securities broker dealer subsidiary. The Company’s Wholesale distribution channel is comprised of (i) MONY Partners, a division of MONY Life, (ii) independent third party insurance brokerage general agencies and securities broker dealers and (iii) its corporate marketing team which markets COLI and BOLI products. For the year ended December 31, 2003, Retail distribution accounted for approximately 17.6% and 42.6% of sales of protection and accumulation products, respectively, while Wholesale distribution accounted for 82.4% and 57.4% of sales of protection and accumulation products, respectively. The Company principally sells its products in all 50 of the United States, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and currently insures or provides other financial services to more than one million individuals.

 

MONY Life’s principal wholly owned direct and indirect operating subsidiaries include: (i) MONY Life Insurance Company of America (“MLOA”), an Arizona domiciled life insurance company, (ii) Enterprise Capital Management (“Enterprise”), a distributor of both proprietary and non-proprietary mutual funds, (iii) U.S. Financial Life Insurance Company (“USFL”), an Ohio domiciled insurer underwriting specialty risk life insurance business, (iv) MONY Securities Corporation (“MSC”), a registered securities broker-dealer and investment advisor whose products and services are distributed through MONY Life’s career agency sales force as well as through a network of accounting professionals, (v) MONY Brokerage, Inc. (“MBI”), a licensed insurance broker, which principally provides MONY Life’s career agency sales force with access to life, annuity, small group health, and specialty insurance products written by other insurance companies so they can meet the insurance and investment needs of their customers, (vi) MONY Consultoria e Corretagem de Seguros Ltda., a Brazilian domiciled insurance brokerage subsidiary, which principally provides insurance brokerage services to unaffiliated third party insurance companies in Brazil, (vii) MONY Bank & Trust Company of the Americas, Ltd. (“MBT”), a Cayman Islands bank and trust company, which provides investment and trust services to nationals of certain Latin American countries, and (viii) MONY Life Insurance Company of the Americas, Ltd. (“MLICA”), a Cayman Islands based insurance company, which provides life insurance and annuity products to nationals of certain Latin American countries.

 

On February 27, 2002, The MONY Group Inc. (“MONY Group”), MONY Life’s ultimate parent, formed MONY Holdings, LLC (“MONY Holdings”) as a downstream, wholly-owned holding company of the MONY Group. MONY Group formed MONY Holdings for the purpose of issuing debt tied to the performance of the Closed Block Business within MONY Life (see Note 21). On April 30, 2002, MONY Holdings commenced its operations and through a structured financing tied to the performance of the Closed Block Business within MONY Life, issued $300.0 million of floating rate insured debt securities (the “Insured Notes”) in a private placement. In addition, MONY Group, pursuant to the terms of the structured financing, transferred all of its ownership interest in MONY Life to MONY Holdings. Other than activities related to servicing the Insured Notes in accordance with the Insured Notes indenture and its ownership interest in MONY Life, MONY Holdings has no operations and engages in no other activities.

 

Proceeds to MONY Holdings from the issuance of the Insured Notes, after all offering and other related expenses, were approximately $292.6 million. Of this amount, $60.0 million was deposited in a debt service coverage account (the “DSCA”), pursuant to the terms of the note indenture, to provide collateral for the payment of interest and principal on the Insured Notes and the balance of approximately $232.6 million was distributed to MONY Group in the form of a dividend. The Insured Notes mature on January 21, 2017. The Insured Notes pay interest only through January 21, 2008 at which time principal payments will begin to be made pursuant to an amortization schedule. Interest on the Insured Notes is payable quarterly at an annual rate equal to three month LIBOR plus 0.55%. Concurrent with the issuance of the Insured Notes, MONY Holdings entered into an interest rate swap contract (the “Swap”), which locked in a fixed rate of interest on the Insured Notes at 6.44%. Including debt issuance costs of $7.4 million and the cost of the insurance policy (75 basis points per annum) (the “Insurance Policy”), which guarantees the scheduled principal and interest payments on the Insured Notes, the all-in cost of the indebtedness is 7.36%. See Note 22 for further information regarding the Insured Notes.

2.  Proposed Merger with AXA Financial, Inc.:

 

On September 17, 2003, MONY Group entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”), and AIMA Acquisition Co. (“AIMA”), which was subsequently amended on February 22, 2004 (hereafter referred to collectively as the “AXA Agreement”), pursuant to which MONY Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial in a cash transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion. Under the terms of the AXA Agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of AXA Financial and MONY Group, MONY Group’s shareholders will receive $31.00 for each share of MONY Group’s common stock. The acquisition contemplated by the AXA Agreement is subject to various regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, including the approval of MONY Group’s shareholders. A special meeting of MONY Group’s shareholders is scheduled for May 18, 2004 to vote on the proposed acquisition of MONY Group by AXA Financial. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2004. See Note 18 for further information regarding the pending merger transaction.

 

The Company incurred merger related expenses totaling $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 in connection with MONY Group’s pending merger transaction with AXA Financial. These expenses are reflected under the caption “other operating costs and expenses” in the Company’s statement of income and comprehensive income.

 

3.  The Closed Block:

 

On November 16, 1998, the Company, pursuant to the New York Insurance Law, established a closed block (the “Closed Block”) of certain participating insurance policies (the “Closed Block in force business”) as defined in its plan of demutualization (the “Plan”). In conjunction therewith, the Company allocated assets to the Closed Block that are expected to produce cash flows which, together with anticipated revenues from the Closed Block in force business, are expected to be sufficient to support the Closed Block in force business, including but not limited to the payment of claims and surrender benefits, certain expenses and taxes, and for the continuation of dividend scales in effect at the date of the Company’s demutualization (assuming the experience underlying such dividend scales continues), and for appropriate adjustments in such scales if the experience changes. To determine the amount of assets to allocate to the Closed Block in order to provide sufficient funding for the aforementioned payments, the Company forecasted the expected cash flows from the Closed Block in force business and mathematically determined the cash flows that would need to be provided from assets allocated to the Closed Block to fully fund the aforementioned payments. Assets were then allocated to the Closed Block accordingly. The aforementioned forecast consists of a cash flow projection for each year over the estimated life of the policies in the Closed Block. The earnings from such expected cash flows from the Closed Block in force business and the assets allocated to the Closed Block are referred to as the “glide path earnings”.

 

All the cash flows from the assets allocated to the Closed Block and the Closed Block in force business inure solely to the benefit of the owners of policies included in the Closed Block. The assets and liabilities allocated to the Closed Block at the date of its formation (November 16, 1998, which was the effective date of the Company’s demutualization) were recorded in the Company’s financial statements at their historical carrying values. The carrying value of the assets allocated to the Closed Block is less than the carrying value of the Closed Block liabilities at the effective date of the Company’s demutualization. The excess of the Closed Block liabilities over the Closed Block assets at the effective date of the Company’s demutualization represents the total estimated future post-tax contribution expected to emerge from the operation of the Closed Block, which will be recognized in the Company’s income over the period the policies and the contracts in the Closed Block remain in force.

 

To the extent that the actual cash flows, subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s demutualization, from the assets allocated to the Closed Block and the Closed Block in force business are, in the aggregate, more favorable than assumed in establishing the Closed Block, total dividends paid to the Closed Block policyholders in future years will be greater than the total dividends that would have been paid to such policyholders if dividend scales used to determine Closed Block cash flows had been continued. Conversely, to the extent that the actual cash flows, subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s demutualization, from the assets allocated to the Closed Block and the Closed Block in force business are, in the aggregate, less favorable than assumed in establishing the Closed Block, total dividends paid to the Closed Block policyholders in future years will be less than the total dividends that would have been paid to such policyholders if dividend scales used to determine Closed Block cash flows

3.  The Closed Block: (continued)

 

had been continued. Accordingly, the recognition of the estimated ultimate aggregate future post-tax contribution expected to emerge from the operation of the Closed Block is not affected by the ultimate aggregate actual experience of the Closed Block assets and the Closed Block in force business subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s demutualization, except in the event that the actual experience of the Closed Block assets and the Closed Block in force business subsequent to the effective date of the Company’s demutualization is not sufficient to pay the guaranteed benefits on the policies in the Closed Block, in which case the Company will be required to fund any such deficiency from its general account assets outside of the Closed Block.

 

However, because the decision to increase or decrease dividend scales is based on revised estimates as to the ultimate profitability of the Closed Block such actions will not necessarily coincide with periodic reports of the results of the Closed Block. Accordingly, actual earnings that emerge from the Closed Block may either be more or less than the expected Closed Block earnings (or “glide path earnings”). In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position 00-3 “Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Demutualizations and Formations of Mutual Insurance Holding Companies and for Certain Long-Duration Participating Contracts”, actual Closed Block earnings in excess of expected Closed Block earnings (or the “glide path earnings”) in any period are recorded as an additional liability to Closed Block policyholders (referred to as the “deferred dividend liability”) because such excess earnings inure solely to the benefit of the policyholders in the Closed Block. If actual Closed Block earnings are less than expected Closed Block earnings (or the “glide path earnings”) in any period the difference is charged against the balance of any existing deferred dividend liability. If the deferred dividend liability is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any such remaining amount, not absorbed, will remain in earnings for the period and an adjustment will be made to get back on the glide path when earnings emerge in future periods that are sufficient to offset such remaining accumulated difference or through a subsequent reduction in dividend scales. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the deferred dividend liability was $65.7 million and $33.2 million, respectively.

 

Since the Closed Block has been funded to provide for payment of guaranteed benefits and the continuation of current payable dividends on the policies included therein, it will not be necessary to use general funds to pay guaranteed benefits unless the in force business in the Closed Block experiences very substantial ongoing adverse experience in investment, mortality, persistency or other experience factors. The Company regularly (at least quarterly) monitors the experience from the Closed Block and may make changes to the dividend scale, when appropriate, to ensure that the profits are distributed to the Closed Block policyholders in a fair and equitable manner. In addition, annually the New York Insurance Department requires the filing of an independent auditor’s report on the operations of the Closed Block.

 

4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Basis of Presentation —

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The most significant estimates made in conjunction with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include those used in determining (i) deferred policy acquisition costs, (ii) the liability for future policy benefits, (iii) valuation allowances for mortgage loans and charges for the impairment of invested assets, (iv) pension costs, (v) costs associated with contingencies, (vi) litigation and restructuring charges and (vii) income taxes. Certain reclassifications have been made in the amounts presented for prior years to conform those years to the current year’s presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation —

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MONY Life and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)

 

Valuation of Investments and Realized Gains and Losses —

 

The Company’s fixed maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale and trading and are reported at estimated fair value. The Company’s equity securities are comprised of investments in common stocks and venture capital limited partnerships. The Company’s investments in common stocks are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at estimated fair value. The Company’s investments in venture capital limited partnerships are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting or at estimated fair value (with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income) depending upon the Company’s percentage ownership of the partnership and the date it was acquired. In general, partnership interests acquired after May 18, 1995 are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting if the Company’s ownership interest in the partnership exceeds three percent, whereas, if the partnership was acquired prior to May 18, 1995, the equity method would be applied only if the Company’s ownership interest is 20 percent or greater. In the unlikely event that the Company’s ownership interest in a partnership exceeded 50 percent the partnership would be consolidated. In all other circumstances, the Company accounts for its investments in venture capital limited partnerships at estimated fair value. Because the underlying partnerships are required under GAAP to mark their investment portfolios to market and report changes in such market value through their earnings, the Company’s earnings will reflect its pro rata share of such mark to market adjustment if it accounts for the partnership investment under the equity method. With respect to partnerships accounted for at fair value, there will be no impact on the Company’s earnings until: (i) the underlying investments held by the partnership are distributed to the Company, or (ii) the underlying investments held by the partnership are sold by the partnership and the proceeds distributed to the Company, or (iii) an impairment of the Company’s investment in the partnership is determined to exist. Unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale and common stocks are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred income taxes and an adjustment for the effect on deferred policy acquisition costs that would have occurred if such gains and losses had been realized. Unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturity securities classified as trading securities are reflected in current period earnings. The cost of all fixed maturity securities and common stock is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary. Fixed maturity securities deemed to be other than temporarily impaired are analyzed to assess whether such investments should be placed on non-accrual status. A fixed maturity security would be placed on non-accrual status when management believes it will not receive all principal and interest payments according to the original terms. Any cash received on non-accrual status securities is applied against the outstanding principal. These adjustments are reflected as realized losses on investments. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at their unpaid principal balances, net of valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are established for the excess of the carrying value of a mortgage loan over its estimated fair value when the loan is considered to be impaired. Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Estimated fair value is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, or the loan’s observable market price (if considered to be a practical expedient), or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and if foreclosure of the loan is considered probable. The provision for loss is reported as a realized loss on investment. Loans in foreclosure and loans considered to be impaired, other than restructured loans, are placed on non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual status mortgage loans is included in investment income in the period received. Interest income on restructured mortgage loans is accrued at the restructured loans’ respective interest rates.

 

Real estate held for investment, as well as related improvements, is generally stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which may range from 5 to 40 years. Cost is adjusted for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are based on the estimated fair value of the real estate, which is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows from the real estate discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks. Impairment losses on real estate held for investment are reported as realized losses on investments.

4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)

 

Real estate investments meeting the following criteria are classified as “real estate to be disposed of” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the results therefrom are reported as “discontinued operations” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income as a result of the Company’s adoption in 2002 of Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”):

 

  Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits the organization to a plan to sell the property;

 

  The property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;

 

  An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated and are continuing;

 

  The sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year;

 

  The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

 

  Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

 

Real estate to be disposed of is carried at the lower of its carrying value at the time of classification as “to be disposed of” or fair value less estimated selling costs.

 

Policy loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances.

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

Collateralized Financing Transactions —

 

Securities loaned and borrowed are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount of cash collateral received or advanced. The fee received or paid by the Company is recorded as interest revenue or expense and is reflected in other income and other operating costs and expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The initial collateral advanced or received has a higher market value than the underlying securities. The Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary.

 

The Company utilizes short-term repurchase agreements as supplementary short-term financing and delivers U.S. Treasury securities as collateral for cash received. These repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financings. The fee paid by the Company is recorded as interest. The Company monitors the market value of securities transferred on a daily basis, and provides additional collateral as necessary.

 

Recognition of Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits —

 

Premiums from participating and non-participating traditional life, health and annuity policies with life contingencies are recognized as premium income when due. Benefits and expenses are matched with such income so as to result in the recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This match is accomplished by means of the provision for liabilities for future policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition costs.

4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)

 

Premiums from universal life and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to policyholders’ account balances. Revenue from these types of products consists of amounts assessed during the period against policyholders’ account balances for policy administration charges, cost of insurance and surrender charges, and mortality and expense charges on variable contracts. Policy benefits charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of the related policyholders’ account balance.

 

Commissions —

 

The Company earns commissions from clients for execution of securities, mutual funds, and insurance transactions. Commission income and related expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis.

 

Deferred Sales Commissions —

 

The Company, through Enterprise, sells Class B and C shares, which are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). At the time of sale, the Company pays commissions to brokers and dealers for sales of Enterprise Group of Funds Class B and C shares. Class B commissions paid are deferred and amortized on the lesser of six years straight-line, or the period during which related distribution and CDSC revenues are earned. The Company evaluates recoverability through ongoing estimates of future revenues from Class B shares. Class C share commissions are expensed when paid.

 

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DPAC”) —

 

The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting, agency, and policy issue expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new insurance business, are deferred.

 

For participating traditional life policies, DPAC is amortized over the expected life of the contracts (30 years) as a constant percentage based on the present value of estimated gross margins expected to be realized over the life of the contracts using discount rates that grade down from 7.22% in 2004 to 6.97% in the year 2026. Estimated gross margins include anticipated premiums and investment results less claims and administrative expenses, changes in the net level premium reserve and expected annual policyholder dividends.

 

For universal life products and investment-type products, DPAC is amortized over the expected life of the contracts (ranging from 15 to 30 years) as a constant percentage based on the present value of estimated gross profits expected to be realized over the life of the contracts using the initial locked in discount rate. For non-participating term policies, DPAC is amortized over the expected life of the contracts (ranging from 10 to 20 years) in proportion to premium revenue recognized. The discount rate for all products is 8.0%. Estimated gross profits arise principally from investment results, mortality and expense margins and surrender charges.

 

The Company conducts programs from time-to-time that allow annuity contract holders to exchange older annuity contracts for new annuity products sold at no cost. The Company has determined that the old and new products are substantially similar and, as such, the Company retains previously recorded DPAC related to the exchanged contract.

 

DPAC is subject to recoverability testing at the time of policy issuance and loss recognition testing at the end of each accounting period. The effect on the amortization of DPAC of revisions in estimated experience is reflected in earnings in the period such estimates are revised. In addition, the effect on the DPAC asset that would result from the realization of unrealized gains (losses) is recognized through an offset to other comprehensive income as of the balance sheet date.

 

Future Policy Benefits and Policyholders’ Account Balances —

 

Future policy benefit liabilities for participating traditional life policies are calculated using a net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions equal to guaranteed mortality and dividend fund interest rates. The liability for annual dividends represents the accrual of annual dividends earned. Dividend fund interest assumptions range from 2.0% to 5.5%.

4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)

 

Policyholders’ account balances for universal life and investment-type contracts represent an accumulation of gross premium payments plus credited interest less expense and mortality charges and withdrawals. The weighted average interest crediting rate for universal life products was approximately 5.5%, 5.6% and 5.9% for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The weighted average interest crediting rate for investment-type products was approximately 4.2%, 4.3% and 4.5% for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

Dividends to Policyholders —

 

Dividends to policyholders reflected on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income is comprised of policyholder dividends payable in the current year and the change in the deferred dividend liability. Dividends payable to policyholders are determined annually by the board of directors of MONY Life. All but a de minimus amount of dividends paid to policyholders are on policies in the Closed Block. Refer to Note 3 for a more detailed explanation of policyholder dividends, as well as the deferred dividend liability. The change in the deferred dividend liability recognized in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income was $23.7 million, $(14.6) million and $21.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

Participating Business —

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, participating business, substantially all of which is in the Closed Block, represented approximately 28.7% and 34.0% of the Company’s life insurance in force, and 70.2% and 73.7% of the number of life insurance policies in force, respectively. For each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, participating business represented approximately 79.0%, 82.5%, and 83.5%, respectively, of life insurance premiums.

 

Stock-Based Compensation —

 

FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), issued in October 1995, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for employee stock-based compensation plans, as well as transactions in which an entity issues equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees. However, for employee stock based compensation plans, SFAS 123 permits companies, at their election, to continue to apply the accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), which was issued and effective since 1972. SFAS 123 provides no similar election with respect to transactions in which an entity issues equity instruments to acquire goods or services from non-employees. For companies electing to apply the accounting prescribed by APB 25 to their employee stock-based compensation plans, SFAS 123 requires that pro forma disclosure be made of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value accounting prescribed by SFAS 123 had been adopted. The Company elected to apply the accounting prescribed by APB 25 to option grants to employees and, accordingly, make the aforementioned pro forma disclosures. Based on the definition of an “employee” prescribed in the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s career financial professionals do not qualify as employees. See Note 23 for further discussion of the Company’s stock based compensation plans.

 

The following table reflects the effect on the Company’s net income as if the accounting prescribed by SFAS 123 had been applied to the options granted to employees and outstanding as at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

4.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (continued)

 

The fair value of each option outstanding is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise prices ranging from $20.90 to $44.25, dividend yields ranging from 1.02% to 2.37%, expected volatility ranging from 23.5% to 44.4%, and a range of interest rates from 3.3% to 6.7%. The fair value of options determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model ranged from $6.30 to $18.92 per share at December 31, 2003.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee and career financial professional options have characteristics different than those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

 

Federal Income Taxes —

 

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its ultimate parent, the MONY Group and its other subsidiaries, as well as the Company’s life and non-life affiliates except Sagamore Financial Corporation, the parent holding company of USFL. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates and laws.

 

Reinsurance —

 

The Company has reinsured certain of its life insurance and investment contracts with other insurance companies under various agreements. Amounts due from reinsurers are estimated based on assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Policy and contract liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance reserve credits. Gains on reinsurance are deferred and amortized into income over the remaining life of the underlying reinsured contracts.

 

In determining whether a reinsurance contract qualifies for reinsurance accounting, SFAS No. 113 “Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts” requires that there be a “reasonable possibility” that the reinsurer may realize a “significant loss” from assuming insurance risk under the contract. In making this assessment, the Company projects the results of the policies reinsured under the contract under various scenarios and assesses the probability of such results actually occurring. The projected results represent the present value of all the cash flows under the reinsurance contract. The Company generally defines a “reasonable possibility” as having a probability of at least 10%. In assessing whether the projected results of the reinsured business constitute a “significant loss”, the Company considers: (i) the ratio of the aggregate projected loss, discounted at an appropriate rate of interest (the “aggregate projected loss”), to an estimate of the reinsurer’s investment in the contract, as hereafter defined, and (ii) the ratio of the aggregate projected loss to an estimate of the total premiums to be received by the reinsurer under the contract discounted at an appropriate rate of interest.

 

The reinsurer’s investment in a reinsurance contract consists of amounts paid to the ceding company at the inception of the contract (e.g. expense allowances and the excess of liabilities assumed by the reinsurer over the assets transferred to the reinsurer under the contract) plus the amount of capital required to support such business consistent with prudent business practices, regulatory requirements, and the reinsurer’s credit rating. The Company estimates the capital required to support such business based on what it considers to be an appropriate level of risk-based capital in light of regulatory requirements and prudent business practices.

 

Separate Accounts —

 

Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims only to the extent that the

value of such assets exceeds the separate account liabilities. Investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts are reported separately as assets and liabilities. Substantially all separate account assets are reported at estimated fair value. Investment income and gains or losses on the investments of separate accounts accrue directly to contract holders and, accordingly, are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows. Fees charged to the separate accounts by the Company (including mortality charges, policy administration fees and surrender charges) are reflected in the Company’s revenues.

 

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows — Non-cash Transactions —

 

For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively, real estate of $0.0 million, $12.0 million, and $18.0 million was acquired in satisfaction of debt. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company owned real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt of $28.2 million and $33.1 million, respectively. Other non-cash transactions, which are reflected in the statement of cash flows as a reconciling item from net income to net cash provided by operating activities, consisted primarily of stock distributions from the Company’s partnership investments and payment-in-kind for interest due on certain fixed maturity securities.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted as of December 31, 2003 —

 

On January 1, 2001 the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of financial position as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The corresponding derivative gains and losses are reported based on the hedge relationship that exists, if there is one. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133, are required to be reported in earnings. The Company’s use of derivative instruments is not significant and accordingly, adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

On January 1, 2001 the Company adopted SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of SFAS No. 125 (“SFAS 140”). SFAS No. 140 specifies the accounting and reporting requirements for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral, recognition and measurement of servicing assets and liabilities, and the extinguishment of liabilities. Adoption of the new requirements did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). SFAS 141 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for all business combinations. This statement requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, abolishes the use of the pooling-of-interest method, requires separate recognition of intangible assets that can be identified and named, and expands required disclosures. All of the Company’s past business combinations have been accounted for under the purchase accounting method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 provides that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. This Statement provides specific guidance for testing the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company no longer recognizes goodwill amortization of approximately $1.3 million on an annualized basis. In addition, since the adoption of this standard, based on the Company’s estimate of its reporting units, the Company has determined that none of its goodwill is impaired (see Note 24).

 

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). This statement establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including

assets to be held and used, assets to be disposed of by other than sale, and assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 retains many of the same provisions as SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (“SFAS 121”). In addition to retaining the SFAS 121 requirements, SFAS 144 requires companies to present the results of operations of components of the entity that are held for sale as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. The Company had real estate that meets the definition of a component of the entity. Substantially all of the Company’s real estate to be disposed of resulted from disposal activities initiated prior to the effective date of SFAS 144. The carrying value of real estate to be disposed of at December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $0.0 million and $26.8 million, respectively. The Company’s pretax income/(loss) from real estate to be disposed of for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, which is reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income as a discontinued operation, was $9.0 million and $(3.9) million, respectively.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure and amendment of FASB Statement No. 123 (“SFAS 148”). This Statement amends SFAS 123, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, SFAS 148 amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. The disclosure provisions for SFAS 148 were effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The transition provisions of SFAS 148 were effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has not adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock based compensation.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 133 Implementation Issue B36, Embedded Derivatives: Modified Coinsurance Arrangements and Debt Instruments That Incorporate Credit Risk Exposures That Are Unrelated or Only Partially Related to the Creditworthiness of the Obligor under Those Instruments (“DIG B36”). DIG B36 addresses the need to separately account for an embedded derivative within a reinsurer’s receivable and ceding company’s payable arising from modified coinsurance or similar arrangements. Paragraph 12(a) of SFAS 133 indicates that an embedded derivative must be separated from the host contract (“bifurcated”) if the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. DIG B36 concludes that bifurcation is necessary in a modified coinsurance arrangement because the yield on the receivable and payable is based on a specified proportion of the ceding company’s return on either its general account assets or a specified block of those assets, rather than the overall creditworthiness of the ceding company. The effective date of implementation was the first day of the first fiscal quarter beginning after September 15, 2003, with earlier application as of the beginning of a fiscal quarter permitted. The adoption of DIG B36 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be classified as equity or “mezzanine” equity, by now requiring those instruments to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the statement of financial position. Further, SFAS 150 requires disclosure regarding the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. SFAS 150 affects an entity’s classification of the following free-standing instruments: (i) mandatory redeemable instruments, (ii) financial instruments to repurchase an entity’s own equity instruments, and (iii) financial instruments embodying obligations that the issuer must or could choose to settle by issuing a variable number of its shares or other equity instruments based solely on (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception or (b) something other than changes in its own equity instruments. SFAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The guidance in SFAS 150 was generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In October 2003, the FASB finalized the proposed FASB Staff Position 46-e Effective Date of Interpretation 46 (“FIN 46”), for Certain Interests Held by a Public Entity (“Staff Position 46-e”). Staff Position 46-e defers the latest date by which all public entities must apply SFAS Interpretation No. 46 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“Interpretation 46”), to the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003. Interpretation 46 represents an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (“ARB 51”). ARB 51 requires that a company’s consolidated financial statements include subsidiaries in which the company has a majority voting interest. However, the voting interest approach is not effective in identifying controlling financial interests in entities (referred to as “variable interest entities”) that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. Interpretation 46 provides guidance on identifying variable interest entities and on assessing whether a company’s investment in a variable interest entity requires consolidation thereof. Interpretation 46 was initially effective in January 2003 for investments made in variable interest entities after January 31, 2003 and it was effective in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 for investments in variable interest entities made prior to February 1, 2003. The deferral applied to all variable interest entities and potential variable interest entities, both financial and non-financial in nature. Variable interest entities that were previously consolidated in issued financial statements under Interpretation 46 were not unconsolidated. The adoption of Interpretation 46 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003) Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (“SFAS 132–2003”). SFAS 132-2003 improves the financial statement disclosures for defined benefit plans contained in SFAS No. 132 Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (“SFAS 132”), which it replaces, and requires additional disclosures about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The additional disclosures include information describing the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date(s), plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. SFAS 132-2003 does not change the measurement or recognition of pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans required by SFAS 87 Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, SFAS 88 Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits and SFAS 106 Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The disclosure provisions for SFAS 132-2003 are effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2003 —

 

In July 2003 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 03-1 Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Non-Traditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts (“SOP 03-1”). SOP 03-1 provides guidance relating to (i) separate account presentation, (ii) accounting for an insurance enterprise’s interest in separate accounts, (iii) gains and losses on the transfer of assets from the general account, (iv) liability valuation, (v) return based on a contractually referenced pool of assets or index, (vi) determining the significance of mortality and morbidity risk and classification of contracts that contain death or other insurance benefit features, (vii) accounting for contracts that contain death or other insurance benefit features, (viii) accounting for reinsurance and other similar contracts, (ix) accounting for annuitization benefits, (x) sales inducements to contract holders, and (xi) disclosures in the financial statements of an insurance enterprise regarding (a) separate account assets and liabilities, (b) the insurance enterprise’s accounting policy for sales inducements, and (c) the nature of the liabilities and methods and assumptions used in estimating any contract benefits recognized in excess of the account balance. SOP 03-1 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003, with earlier adoption encouraged. The adoption of SOP 03-1 will result in the Company having to establish an additional liability for Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefits of approximately $0.8 million at January 1, 2004. This increase in reserves will be partially offset by a decrease in DPAC amortization due to lower profit margins as a result of the increased reserves. The adoption of SOP 03-1 is not expected to have any other material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued SFAS Interpretation No. 46-Revised Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“Interpretation 46R”), which incorporates a number of modifications and changes to Interpretation 46 (see — New Accounting

Pronouncements Adopted as of December 31, 2003, above). Interpretation 46R clarifies some of the requirements of Interpretation 46, eases some of its implementation problems, and adds new scope exceptions and applicability judgments. Interpretation 46R is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2003 for investments in variable interest entities considered to be special-purpose entities. The implementation of Interpretation 46R for all other investments in variable interest entities is required for reporting periods ending after March 15, 2004, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of FIN 46R is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

The carrying value of the Company’s fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2003 and 2002 is net of adjustments for impairments in value deemed to be other than temporary of $113.5 million and $124.4 million, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there was $23.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of fixed maturity securities which had been non-income producing for the twelve months preceding such dates. Interest income that would have been recognized on these fixed maturity securities was $2.8 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Company classifies fixed maturity securities which: (i) are in default as to principal or interest payments; (ii) are to be restructured pursuant to commenced negotiations; (iii) went into bankruptcy subsequent to acquisition; or (iv) are deemed to have other than temporary impairments to value as “problem fixed maturity securities.” At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying value of problem fixed maturity securities held by the Company was $240.4 million and $274.7 million, respectively. The Company defines potential problem securities in the fixed maturity category as securities that are deemed to be experiencing significant operating problems or difficult industry conditions. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying value of potential problem fixed maturity securities held by the Company was $4.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no fixed maturity securities which had been restructured.

There were 19 investment grade fixed maturity security positions that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of December 31, 2003. The aggregate gross pre-tax unrealized loss relating to these positions was $2.6 million ($1.7 million after-tax) as of such date. Of these positions: (i) eight comprising approximately $1.8 million ($1.2 million after-tax) of the aforementioned aggregate unrealized loss, were not considered “other than temporarily impaired” principally because of the issuer’s financial strength as indicated by the fact that all such securities were rated “A” or better, (ii) eight comprising approximately $0.8 million ($0.5 million after-tax) of the aforementioned unrealized loss were not considered “other than temporarily impaired” because management is of the opinion that the unrealized loss position was primarily attributable to temporary market conditions affecting the related industry sectors, as well as the fact that management’s analysis of the issuer’s financial strength supported the conclusion that the security was not “other than temporarily impaired”, and (iii) three positions with negligible unrealized losses were U.S. Government securities.

 

There were no common stock positions that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as at December 31,2003.

During 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company recognized $4.1 million, $11.3 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of interest income on impaired loans.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the carrying value of mortgage loans which were non-income producing for the twelve months preceding such dates was $0.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Interest income that would have been recognized on these mortgage loans was $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had restructured mortgage loans of $15.3 million and $29.8 million, respectively. Interest income of $1.3 million, $1.5 million and $4.3 million was recognized on restructured mortgage loans in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Gross interest income on these loans that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such loans amounted to approximately $1.6 million, $4.0 million and $7.2 million in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

9.  Segment Information:

 

The Company’s business activities consist of the following: protection product operations, accumulation product operations, mutual fund operations, securities broker-dealer operations, insurance brokerage operations, and certain insurance lines of business no longer written by the Company (the “run-off businesses”). These business activities represent the Company’s operating segments. Except as discussed below, these segments are managed separately because they either provide different products or services, are subject to different regulation, require different strategies, or have different technology requirements.

 

Management considers the Company’s mutual fund operations to be an integral part of the products offered by the Company’s Accumulation Products segment. Accordingly, for management purposes (including performance assessment and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources), the Company aggregates its mutual fund operations with its Accumulation Products segment.

9.  Segment Information: (continued)

 

Of the aforementioned segments, only the Protection Products segment and the Accumulation Products segment qualify as reportable segments in accordance with SFAS No.131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. All of the Company’s other segments are combined and reported in the Other Products segment.

 

Products comprising the Protection Products segment primarily include a wide range of individual life insurance products, including: whole life, term life, universal life, variable universal life, corporate-owned life, last survivor universal life, last survivor variable universal life, group universal life and special-risk products. In addition, included in the Protection Products segment are: (i) the assets and liabilities transferred pursuant to the Group Pension Transaction (which ceased as of December 31, 2002 – see Note 13), as well as the Group Pension Profits derived therefrom, (ii) the Closed Block assets and liabilities, as well as the revenues and expenses relating thereto (See Notes 3 and 20), and (iii) the Company’s disability income insurance products (which are 100% reinsured and no longer offered by the Company).

 

The Accumulation Products segment primarily includes flexible premium variable annuities, single and flexible premium deferred annuities, single premium immediate annuities, proprietary mutual funds, investment management services, and certain other financial services products.

 

The Company’s Other Products segment primarily consists of a securities broker-dealer operation, an insurance brokerage operation, and the run-off businesses. The securities broker-dealer operation markets the Company’s proprietary investment products and, in addition, provides customers of the Company’s protection and accumulation products access to other non-proprietary investment products (including stocks, bonds, limited partnership interests, tax-exempt unit investment trusts and other investment securities). The insurance brokerage operation provides the Company’s career agency sales force with access to variable life, annuity, small group health and specialty insurance products written by other carriers to meet the insurance and investment needs of its customers. The run-off businesses primarily consist of group life and health business, as well as group pension business that was not included in the Group Pension Transaction (See Note 13).

 

Set forth in the table below is certain financial information with respect to the Company’s reportable segments as of and for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, as well as amounts not allocated to the segments. Except for various allocations discussed below, the accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 4). The Company evaluates the performance of each operating segment based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes and nonrecurring items (e.g., items of an unusual or infrequent nature). The Company does not allocate certain non-recurring items to the segments. In addition, unless otherwise noted, all segment revenues are from external customers.

 

Assets have been allocated to the segments in amounts sufficient to support the associated liabilities of each segment and maintain a separately calculated regulatory risk-based capital (“RBC”) level for each segment. Allocations of the net investment income and net realized gains (losses) on investments were based on the amount of assets allocated to each segment. Other costs and operating expenses were allocated to each of the segments based on: (i) a review of the nature of such costs, (ii) time studies analyzing the amount of employee compensation costs incurred by each segment, and (iii) cost estimates included in the Company’s product pricing. Substantially all non-cash transactions and impaired real estate (including real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt) have been allocated to the Protection Products segment.

 

Amounts reported as “reconciling amounts” in the table below primarily relate to: (i) contracts issued by the MONY Life relating to its employee benefit plans, (ii) interest expense associated with the surplus and intercompany surplus notes, (iii) charges totaling $5.8 million, $7.2 million and $56.8 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, associated with the Company’s reorganization activities (see Note 25), (iv) a $1.5 million decrease in 2002 in certain reserves established in connection with the reorganization charge recorded in 2001 (see Note 25) and (v) merger related expenses totaling $0.8 million in 2003 incurred in connection with MONY Group’s pending merger transaction with AXA Financial (see Note 2).

(2) Each segment includes separate account assets in an amount not less than the corresponding liability reported.
(3) See Note 25 for details regarding the allocation of Reorganization and Other Charges to segments.
(4) Amounts reported as “reconciling” in 2003 primarily related to (i) contracts issued by MONY Life relating to its employee benefit plans, (ii) interest expense associated with the surplus and intercompany surplus notes (see Note 16), (iii) charges totaling $5.8 million pre-tax relating to the Company’s reorganization activities (see Note 25) and (iv) merger related expenses totaling $0.8 million incurred in connection with MONY Group’s pending merger with AXA Financial (see Note 2).
(5) Amounts reported as “reconciling” in 2002 primarily relate to: (i) contracts issued by MONY Life relating to its employee benefit plans, (ii) interest expense associated with the surplus and intercompany surplus notes (see Note 16), (iii) charges totaling $7.2 million pre-tax relating to the Company’s 2003 reorganization activities (see Note 25), and (iv) a $1.5 million decrease in certain reserves associated with the Company’s 2001 reorganization charge (see Note 25).
(6) Amounts reported as “reconciling” in 2001 primarily relate to: (i) contracts issued by MONY Life relating to its employee benefit plans, (ii) interest expense associated with the surplus and intercompany surplus notes (see Note 16) and (iii) charges totaling $56.8 million pre-tax relating to the Company’s reorganization activities (see Note 25).
(7) Amounts reported in 2002 include a loss of $3.9 million pre-tax from discontinued operations, of which $3.3 million, $0.4 million, and $0.2 million, has been allocated to the Protection Products, Accumulation Products and Other Products segments, respectively.
(8) Amounts reported in 2003 include a gain of $9.0 million pre-tax from discontinued operations, of which $7.7 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million, has been allocated to the Protection Products, Accumulation Products and Other Products segments, respectively.
(9) Includes separate account liabilities relating to the Group Pension Transaction of $3,179.5 million as of December 31, 2001 (see Note 13).
(10) As explained in Note 13, in accordance with GAAP, the Group Pension Transaction did not constitute a sale because the Company retained substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the business transferred to Aegon USA, Inc. (“AEGON”). Accordingly, over the life of the transaction the Company was required to reflect the transferred assets and liabilities on its balance sheet under separate captions entitled “Assets transferred in Group Pension Transaction” and “Liabilities transferred in Group Pension Transaction”. As a result of the expiration of the transaction at December 31, 2002 and the recognition of earnings from the Final Value Payment from AEGON the Company has no further interest in the transferred assets and liabilities and, accordingly, such assets and liabilities are no longer reflected on its balance sheet.

11.  Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits:

 

Pension Plans —

 

The Company has a qualified pension plan covering substantially all of MONY Life’s salaried employees. The provisions of the plan provide both (a) defined benefit accruals based on: (i) years of service, (ii) the employee’s final average annual compensation and (iii) wage bases or benefits under Social Security, and (b) defined contribution accruals based on a Company matching contribution equal to 100% of the employee’s elective deferrals under the incentive savings plan for employees up to 3% of the employee’s eligible compensation and an additional 2% of eligible compensation for each active participant.

11.  Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits: (continued)

 

June 15, 1999, prospective defined contribution accruals in the defined benefit plan ceased and were redirected to the Investment Plan Supplement for Employees of MONY Life. The Company did not make any contribution in the current or prior year under Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) because the plan was fully funded under Section 412 of the IRC.

 

During 2002, the Company amended its Qualified Pension plan, which increased certain benefit liabilities payable thereunder. The amendment resulted in an increase of $3.7 million in the plan’s projected benefit obligation.

 

The assets of the qualified pension plan are primarily invested in MONY Pooled Accounts which include common stock, real estate, and public and private fixed maturity securities. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, $312.0 million and $304.7 million, respectively, were invested in the MONY Pooled Accounts. Benefits of $34.0 million, $30.2 million and $27.9 million were paid by this plan for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

MONY Life also sponsors a non-qualified employee excess pension plan, which provides both defined benefits and defined contribution accruals in excess of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits to certain employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s final average annual compensation. Pension benefits are paid from the Company’s general account.

 

Postretirement Benefits —

 

The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and field underwriters of MONY Life. The Company amortizes its postretirement transition obligation over a period of twenty years.

 

Assumed health care cost trend rates typically have a significant effect on the amounts reported for health care plans, however, under the Company’s postretirement healthcare plan, there is a per capita limit on the Company’s healthcare costs. As a result, a one-percentage point change in the assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have an immaterial effect on amounts reported.

 

On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D as well as a Federal subsidy to employers who provide an “actuarial equivalent” prescription drug benefit to employees. The requirements under the Act are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Otherwise, benefits bearing compensation is assumed to increase by 4% for all participants eligible for incentive compensation and by 5% for all others. Benefits bearing incentive compensation for the top four officers is assumed to be 50% of base salary after 2003.

 

MONY Life uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension plans and other postretirement benefits.

 

For measurement purposes, a 10% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2004. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 6% for 2010 and remain at that level thereafter.

 

Plan Assets —

 

The Company’s assumption with respect to the future return on pension plan assets, which at January 1, 2003 was determined to be 8%, is made by management after taking into consideration historic returns on such assets (generally the geometric annual rate of return over at least a ten year period), the actual mix of the pension plan’s invested assets at the valuation date (which is assumed to be consistent in future periods), management’s outlook for future returns on such asset types, and the long-term outlook for such returns in the marketplace. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair value of the pension plan invested assets were comprised of the following:

 

     Pension Benefits

 
     2003

    2002

11.  Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits: (continued)

 

The fair value of pension plan assets is determined as follows:

 

  Public and Private Fixed Maturity Securities — The estimated fair values of public fixed maturity securities are based upon quoted market prices, where available. The fair values of private fixed maturity securities or public fixed maturity securities which are not actively traded are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market interest rate commensurate with the credit quality and term of the investments.

 

  Public common stock — The fair values of public common stock investments are determined based on quoted market prices.

 

  Real estate — The estimated fair value of real estate is generally computed using the present value of expected future cash flows from the real estate, discounted at a rate commensurate with the underlying risks.

 

The Company also has a qualified money purchase pension plan covering substantially all career field underwriters. Company contributions of 5% of earnings plus an additional 2% of such earnings in excess of the social security wage base are made each year. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair value of plan assets was $188.2 million and $165.1 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company contributed $2.2 million, $2.8 million and $3.2 million to the plan, respectively, which amounts are reflected in “other operating costs and expenses” in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

 

The Company has a non-qualified defined contribution plan, which is unfunded. The non-qualified defined contribution plan projected benefit obligation, which equaled the accumulated benefit obligation, was $61.2 million and $52.9 million as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The non-qualified defined contribution plan’s net periodic expense was $11.1 million, $(2.7) million and $(0.2) million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

The Company also has incentive savings plans in which substantially all employees and career field underwriters of MONY Life are eligible to participate. The Company matches field underwriter contributions up to 2% of eligible compensation and may also make an additional profit sharing contribution for non-officer employees. As with the employee excess plan, the Company also sponsors non-qualified excess defined contribution plans for both the field underwriter retirement plan and the incentive savings plan for field underwriters of MONY Life. The Company also sponsors several other 401(k) plans for its smaller subsidiaries which the Company considers immaterial.

 

12.  Income Taxes:

 

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its ultimate parent, MONY Group, and its other subsidiaries, as well as the Company’s life and non-life affiliates except Sagamore Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (see Note 4).

 

Federal income taxes have been calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A summary of the income tax expense/(benefit) is presented below:

MONY Group’s income tax returns for years through 1993 have been examined by the IRS. No material adjustments were proposed by the IRS as a result of these examinations. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for any additional taxes which may become due with respect to open years.

The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the deferred tax asset that management believes will not be realized. In the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets; therefore, no such valuation allowance has been established.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

13.  The Group Pension Transaction:

 

On December 31, 1993 (the “Group Pension Transaction Date”), the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with AEGON USA, Inc. (“AEGON”) under which the Company transferred a substantial portion of its group pension business (hereafter referred to as the “Group Pension Transaction”), including its full service group pension contracts, consisting primarily of tax-deferred annuity, 401(k) and managed funds lines of business, to AEGON’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. (“AUSA”). The Company also transferred to AUSA the corporate infrastructure supporting the group pension business, including data processing systems, facilities and regional offices. AUSA was newly formed by AEGON solely for the purpose of facilitating this transaction. In connection with the transaction, the Company and AEGON entered into certain service agreements. These agreements, among other things, provided that the Company would continue to manage the transferred assets, and that AUSA would continue to provide certain administrative services to the Company’s remaining group pension contracts not included in the transfer.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to make a $200 million capital investment in AEGON by purchasing $150 million face amount of Series A Notes and $50 million face amount of Series B Notes (hereinafter referred to as the “Notes”). The Series A Notes pay interest at 6.44% per annum and the Series B Notes pay interest at 6.24% per annum. The Series B Notes matured on December 31, 2002 and the Series A Notes matured on April 7, 2003. The Company’s investment in the Series A Notes was intended to provide AEGON with the funding necessary to capitalize AUSA.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the transaction did not constitute a sale because the Company retained substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the existing deposits on the transferred business (the “Existing Deposits”). Accordingly, the Company reflected the transferred assets and liabilities on its balance sheet under separate captions entitled “Assets transferred in Group Pension Transaction” and “Liabilities transferred in Group Pension Transaction” until the expiration of the agreement, December 31, 2002. In addition, the Company reported in its GAAP earnings the profits from the Existing Deposits as discussed below.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, which expired on December 31, 2002, the Company received from AUSA: (i) payments on an annual basis through December 31, 2002 (the “Group Pension Payments”) equal to all of the earnings from the Existing Deposits, (ii) a final payment (the “Final Value Payment”) at December 31, 2002 based on the remaining fair value of the Existing Deposits, and (iii) a contingent payment (the “New Business Growth Payment”) at December 31, 2002 based on new business growth subsequent to the Transaction Date.

 

With respect to the Group Pension Payments, the annual results from the Existing Deposits were measured on a basis in accordance with the Agreement (such basis hereafter referred to as the “Earnings Formula”) which was substantially the same as GAAP, except that: (i) asset impairments on fixed maturity securities were only recognized when such securities were designated with an NAIC rating of “6”, and (ii) no impairment losses were recognized on mortgage loans until such loans were disposed of, or at the time and in the calculation, of the Final Value Payment. All mortgage loans had been disposed of prior to the calculation of the Final Payment.

 

Earnings which emerged from the Existing Deposits pursuant to the application of the Earnings Formula were recorded in the Company’s financial statements only after adjustments (primarily to recognize asset impairments in accordance with SFAS Nos. 114 and 115) to reflect such earnings on a basis entirely in accordance with GAAP (such earnings hereafter referred to as the “Group Pension Profits”). Losses which arose from the application of the Earnings Formula for any annual period were reflected in the Company’s results of operations (after adjustments to reflect such losses in accordance with GAAP) only up to the amount for which the Company is at risk (as described below), which at any time is equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Series A Notes.

 

Operating losses reported in any annual period pursuant to the Earnings Formula were carried forward to reduce any earnings in subsequent years reported pursuant to the Earnings Formula. Any resultant deficit remaining at December 31, 2002 would be deducted from the Final Value Payment and New Business Growth Payment, if any, due to the Company. If a deficit still remained, it would be applied (as provided for in the Agreement) as an offset against the principal payment due to the Company upon maturity of the Series A Notes. As of December 31, 2002, there were no operating losses reported in any annual period during the term of the agreement, nor was the Company eligible for any New Business Growth payment.

13.  The Group Pension Transaction: (continued)

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, AUSA reported earnings to the Company pursuant to the application of the Earnings Formula of $19.1 million and $27.4 million, respectively, and the Company recorded Group Pension Profits of $28.2 million and $30.7 million, respectively. In addition, the Company earned $12.8 million of interest income on the Notes in each of the aforementioned years. In addition, the Company recorded earnings from the Final Value Payment of $54.1 million (before expenses of approximately $6.0 million relating thereto, which are recorded in “other operating costs and expenses” in the 2002 consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income), on December 31, 2002.

 

The following sets forth certain summarized financial information relating to the Group Pension Transaction for the periods indicated, including information regarding the components of revenue and expense comprising the Group Pension Profits. In accordance with GAAP, the Group Pension Transaction did not constitute a sale because the Company retained substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the business transferred to Aegon. Accordingly, over the life of the transaction the Company was required to reflect the transferred assets and liabilities on its balance sheet under separate captions entitled “Assets transferred in Group Pension Transaction” and “Liabilities transferred in Group Pension Transaction”. As a result of the expiration of the transaction at December 31, 2002 and the recognition of earnings from the Final Value Payment from Aegon, the Company has no further interest in the transferred assets and liabilities and, accordingly, such assets and liabilities are no longer reflected on the Company’s balance sheet.

14.  Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts, except for mortgage loans, long-term debt and investment-type contracts. The methods and assumptions utilized in estimating the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are summarized as follows:

 

Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities —

 

The estimated fair values of fixed maturity securities are based upon quoted market prices, where available. The fair values of fixed maturity securities not actively traded and other non-publicly traded securities are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market interest rate commensurate with the credit quality and term of the investments. Equity securities primarily consist of investments in common stocks and limited partnership interests. The fair value of the Company’s investments in common stocks is determined based on quoted market prices, where available. The fair value of the Company’s investments in limited partnership interests is based on amounts reported by such partnerships to the Company.

 

Mortgage Loans —

 

The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows, using current interest rates for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit risk. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The fair value of mortgages in process of foreclosure is the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair value of mortgage loans was $1,926.9 million and $2,065.5 million, respectively.

 

Policy Loans —

 

Policy loans are an integral component of insurance contracts and have no maturity dates. Management has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of policy loans.

 

Long-term Debt —

 

The fair value of long-term debt is determined based on contractual cash flows discounted at market rates. The carrying value and fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2003 were $216.9 million and $244.3 million, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2002 were $216.9 million and $234.1 million, respectively.

 

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities —

 

The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities held in separate accounts is based on quoted market prices.

 

Investment-Type Contracts —

 

The fair values of annuities are based on estimates of the value of payments available upon full surrender. The carrying value and fair value of annuities at December 31, 2003 were $1,727.4 million and $1,701.1 million, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of annuities at December 31, 2002 were $1,459.2 million and $1,439.4 million, respectively.

 

15.  Reinsurance:

 

Life insurance business is primarily ceded on a yearly renewable term basis under various reinsurance contracts except for the level term product which utilizes a coinsurance agreement. The Company’s general practice is to retain no more than $4.0 million of risk on any one person for individual products and $6.0 million for last survivor products.

15.  Reinsurance: (continued)

 

The Company has entered into coinsurance agreements with other insurers related to a portion of its extended term insurance, guaranteed interest contract and long-term disability claim liabilities, and reinsures approximately 50% of its block of paid-up life insurance policies.

 

The following table summarizes the effect of reinsurance for the years indicated:

Interest credited to policyholders’ account balances ceded

   $ 2.4      $ 2.9      $ 3.7  
    


  


  


 

The Company is primarily liable with respect to ceded insurance should any reinsurer be unable to meet its obligations under these agreements. To limit the possibility of such losses, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk.

 

16.  Long Term Debt:

 

The Company’s long term debt at December 31, 2003 and 2002 consists of the following:

 

     2003

     2002

     ($ in millions)

Surplus notes

Surplus and Senior Notes —

 

On January 12, 2000, the MONY Group filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register certain securities. This registration, known as a “Shelf Registration”, provides the Company with the ability to offer various securities to the public, when it deems appropriate, to raise proceeds up to an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion in the aggregate for all issuances of securities thereunder. It is the intention of the Company to use this facility to raise proceeds for mergers and acquisitions and for other general corporate matters, as it considers necessary.

 

On March 8, 2000, the MONY Group issued $300.0 million principal amount of senior notes (the “$300 million Senior Notes”) pursuant to the aforementioned Shelf Registration. The $300 million Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2010 and bear interest at 8.35% per annum. The principal amount of the $300 million Senior Notes is payable at maturity and interest is payable semi-annually. The net proceeds to the MONY Group from the issuance of the $300 million Senior Notes, after deducting underwriting commissions and other expenses (primarily legal and accounting fees), were approximately $296.6 million. Approximately $280.0 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes was used by the MONY Group to finance

16.  Long Term Debt: (continued)

 

MONY Life’s repurchase, on March 8, 2000, of all of its outstanding $115.0 million face amount 9.5% coupon surplus notes, and $116.5 million face amount of its $125.0 million face amount 11.25% coupon surplus notes (hereafter referred to as the “9.5% Notes” and the “11.25% Notes”, respectively), which were previously outstanding. The balance of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes was retained by the MONY Group for general corporate purposes. In the third quarter of 2000 and first quarter of 2001, the Company repurchased another $6.5 million and $0.1 million face amount of the 11.25% Notes, respectively, resulting in a remaining balance of $1.9 million at December 31, 2002. MONY Group’s financing of MONY Life’s repurchase of its 9.5% Notes and 11.25% Notes consisted of a capital contribution by MONY Group to MONY Life of $65.0 million and the purchase by MONY Group from MONY Life of two separate newly issued “intercompany” surplus notes. The intercompany surplus note issued to replace the 9.5% Notes has a par value of $115.0 million, a coupon rate of interest of 8.65%, and matures on December 31, 2012. The intercompany surplus note issued to replace the 11.25% Notes has a par value of $100.0 million, a coupon rate of interest of 8.65%, and matures on August 15, 2024. Principal on the intercompany surplus notes is payable at maturity and interest is payable semi-annually.

 

17.  Securities Lending and Concentration of Credit Risk:

 

Securities Lending Risk: —

 

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with a major financial institution, the Company from time to time lends securities to approved borrowers. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, securities loaned by the Company under this agreement had a fair value of approximately $405.3 million and $351.8 million, respectively. The minimum collateral on securities loaned is 102 percent of the market value of the loaned securities. Such securities are marked to market on a daily basis; the collateral is increased or decreased in accordance with the Company’s agent agreement.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk: —

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no single investment or series of investments with a single issuer (excluding U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies) exceeding 1.0% and 1.3%, respectively, of total cash and invested assets.

 

The Company’s fixed maturity securities are diversified by industry type. The industries (excluding U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies) that comprise 10.0% or more of the carrying value of the fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2003 are Consumer Goods of $1,698.1 million (20.0%).

 

The Company’s fixed maturity securities are diversified by industry type. The industries (excluding U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies) that comprise 10.0% or more of the carrying value of the fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2002 are Consumer Goods of $1,444.8 million (18.3%), Non-Government Asset/Mortgage Backed securities of $1,031.9 million (13.0%) and Other Manufacturing of $848.0 million (10.8%).

 

The Company held below investment grade fixed maturity securities with a carrying value of $824.9 million at December 31, 2003. These investments consist mostly of privately issued bonds which are monitored by the Company through extensive internal analysis of the financial condition of the issuers and which generally include protective debt covenants. At December 31, 2002, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in below investment grade fixed maturity securities amounted to $892.7 million.

18.  Commitments and Contingencies:

 

(i) Since late 1995 a number of purported class actions have been commenced in various state and federal courts against MONY Life and MLOA alleging that they engaged in deceptive sales practices in connection with the sale of whole and universal life insurance policies from the early 1980s through the mid 1990s. Although the claims asserted in each case are not identical, they seek substantially the same relief under essentially the same theories of recovery (i.e., breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent supervision and training, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and violation of state insurance and/or deceptive business practice laws). Plaintiffs in these cases seek primarily equitable relief (e.g., reformation, specific performance, mandatory injunctive relief prohibiting MONY Life and MLOA from canceling policies for failure to make required premium payments, imposition of a constructive trust and creation of a claims resolution facility to adjudicate any individual issues remaining after resolution of all class-wide issues) as opposed to compensatory damages, although they also seek compensatory damages in unspecified amounts. MONY Life and MLOA have answered the complaints in each action (except for one being voluntarily held in abeyance). MONY Life and MLOA have denied any wrongdoing and have asserted numerous affirmative defenses.

On June 7, 1996, the New York State Supreme Court certified one of those cases, Goshen v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life Insurance Company of America (now known as DeFilippo, et al v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life Insurance Company of America), the first of the class actions filed, as a nationwide class consisting of all persons or entities who have, or at the time of the policy’s termination had, an ownership interest in a whole or universal life insurance policy issued by MONY Life and MLOA and sold on an alleged “vanishing premium” basis during the period January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1995. On March 27, 1997, MONY Life and MLOA filed a motion to dismiss or, alternatively, for summary judgment on all counts of the complaint. All of the other putative class actions have been consolidated and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. While most of the cases before the District Court have been held in abeyance pending the outcome in Goshen, in June 2003, the Court granted plaintiffs in two of the constituent cases (the McLean and Snipes cases) leave to amend their complaints to delete all class action claims and allegations other than (in the case of McLean) those predicated on alleged violations of the Massachusetts and Illinois consumer protection statutes. On November 19, 2003, the Court in McLean entered an order granting defendants dispositive motion seeking dismissal of the individual claims of the proposed class representatives of the putative statewide class comprised of Massachusetts purchasers, but denying that motion as to the individual claims of the proposed class representatives of the putative state-wide class of Illinois purchasers only. The order is now on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

 

On October 21, 1997, the New York State Supreme Court granted MONY Life’s and MLOA’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims filed in the Goshen case against MONY Life and MLOA. On December 20, 1999, the New York State Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of all but one of the claims in the Goshen case (a claim under New York’s General Business Law), which has been remanded back to the New York State Supreme Court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion. The New York State Supreme Court subsequently reaffirmed that, for purposes of the remaining New York General Business Law claim, the class is now limited to New York purchasers only. On July 2, 2002, the New York Court of Appeals affirmed the New York State Supreme Court’s decision limiting the class to New York purchasers. In addition, the New York State Supreme Court has further held that the New York General Business Law claims of all class members whose claims accrued prior to November 29, 1992 are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. On September 25, 2002 in light of the New York Court of Appeals’ decision, MONY Life and MLOA filed a motion to decertify the class with respect to the sole remaining claim in the case. By orders dated April 16, and May 6, 2003, the New York State Supreme Court denied preliminarily the motion for decertification, but held the issue of decertification in obeyance pending appeals by plaintiffs in related cases and a hearing on whether the present class, or a modified class, can satisfy the requirements of the class action statute in New York. MONY Life and MLOA have appealed from the denial of their motion for decertification, which appeal is presently pending in the Appellate Division, First Department. MONY Life and MLOA intend to defend themselves vigorously the sole remaining claim. There can be no assurance, however, that the present litigation relating to sales practices will not have a material adverse effect on them.

 

(ii) Between September 22 and October 8, 2003, ten substantially similar putative class action lawsuits were filed against MONY Group, its directors, AXA Financial and/or AIMA in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, entitled Beakovitz v. AXA Financial, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20559-NC (Sept. 22, 2003); Belodoff v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20558-NC (Sept. 22, 2003); Brian v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20567-NC (Sept. 23, 2003); Bricklayers Local 8 and Plasterers Local 233 Pension Fund v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20599-NC (Oct. 8, 2003); Cantor v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20556-NC (Sept. 22, 2003); E.M. Capital, Inc. v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20554-NC (Sept. 22, 2003); Garrett v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20577-NC (Sept. 25, 2003); Lebedda v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20590-NC (Oct. 3, 2003); Martin v. Roth, et al., C.A. No. 20555-NC (Sept. 22, 2003); and Muskal v. The MONY Group Inc., et al., C.A. No. 20557-NC (Sept. 22, 2003).

 

By order dated November 4, 2003, Vice Chancellor Stephen P. Lamb, to whom the cases had been assigned, consolidated all ten actions under the caption In re The MONY Group Inc., Shareholders Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 20554-NC, and ordered plaintiffs to file a consolidated amended complaint. On or about November 5, 2003, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint on behalf of a putative class consisting of all MONY Group stockholders, excluding the defendants and their affiliates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

18.  Commitments and Contingencies: (continued)

 

The consolidated complaint alleges that the $31.00 cash price per share to be paid to MONY Group stockholders in connection with the proposed merger is inadequate and that MONY Group’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in negotiating and approving the merger agreement by, among other things, (i) failing to maximize stockholder value, (ii) improperly diverting merger consideration from MONY Group’s stockholders to MONY Group’s management by amending and extending management’s change-in-control agreements, (iii) failing to comply with Delaware law in determining the “fair value” of MONY Group’s stock and (iv) disseminating incomplete and inaccurate information regarding the proposed merger. The consolidated amended complaint alleges that AXA Financial and AIMA aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by MONY Group and its directors. The complaint seeks various forms of relief, including damages and injunctive relief that would, if granted in its entirety, prevent completion of the merger. Defendants served and filed their answers to the consolidated amended complaints on December 29, 2003.

 

In addition, MONY Group, its directors and AXA Financial have been named in two putative class action lawsuits filed in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, entitled Laufer v. The MONY Group, et al., Civ. No. 602957-2003 (Sept. 19, 2003) and North Border Investments v. Barrett, et al., Civ. No. 602984-2003 (Sept. 22, 2003). The complaints in these actions contain allegations substantially similar to those in the original consolidated complaint in the Delaware cases, and likewise purport to assert claims against MONY Group and its directors for breach of fiduciary duty and against AXA Financial for aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. The Laufer and North Border complaints also seek various forms of relief, including damages and injunctive relief that would, if granted, prevent the completion of the merger. On December 29 and 30, 2003, respectively, defendants served their answers to the Laufer and North Border complaints. MONY Group has denied the material allegations of the complaints and intends to vigorously defend the actions.

 

Subsequent Events —

 

On January 16, 2004, after the filing and mailing of the definitive proxy statement on January 8, 2004, plaintiffs sought and were granted leave to further amend their complaint to include additional allegations relating to the accuracy and/or completeness of information provided by the MONY Group in such proxy statement. Thereafter, plaintiffs requested a hearing on their motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the stockholder vote which had been scheduled to occur at the special meeting on February 24, 2004. A hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction was held on February 13, 2004. By order dated March 1, 2004, and an opinion released on February 17, 2004, Vice Chancellor Lamb granted plaintiffs’ motion to the limited extent of enjoining MONY Group from proceeding with the special meeting until MONY Group provides supplemental disclosure to its stockholders relating to the amount of the benefits that the MONY Group executives would receive under the change-in-control agreements relative to the amounts received by executives in the other transactions the independent directors and their advisors had considered at least ten days before the special meeting. Vice Chancellor Lamb otherwise rejected plaintiffs’ arguments in support of an injunction based on the directors’ purported breach of fiduciary duty, the associated aiding and abetting claims and plaintiffs’ other disclosure claims.

 

On March 9, 2004, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint which included, among other things, allegations that (i) the MONY Group’s board of directors decision to reschedule the special meeting and set a new record date reflects an attempt by MONY Group to manipulate the vote by disenfranchising its long-term stockholders, (ii) MONY Group selectively communicated its intent to change the record date to certain investors so as to enable them to acquire voting power prior to the public announcement of the new record date, (iii) the press release issued in connection with the board’s decision to reschedule the meeting and record dates was materially false and misleading in that it failed to disclose and/or misrepresented the manipulation of the voting process and the true reason for the changing of such dates and (iv) the rescheduling of the meeting and record dates constitutes a breach of fiduciary duty by the MONY Group’s defendants. The second amended complaint seeks an order directing that MONY Group reinstate the record date of January 2, 2004 or, alternatively, denying voting power with respect to MONY Group shares allegedly purchased with knowledge of the prospect of a new record date.

(iii) On February 3, 2004, MONY Group commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled The MONY Group Inc. v. Highfields Capital Management LP, Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund and Southeastern Asset Management, No. 04 Civ. 00916. MONY Group’s complaint alleges, among other things, that: (i) the furnishing by defendants, in solicitation materials sent to MONY Group’s stockholders, of a duplicate copy of MONY Group’s proxy voting card, without first filing a proxy statement and making the requisite disclosures in connection therewith, violates the federal proxy rules; (ii) certain of defendants’ solicitation materials contained false and misleading statements; and (iii) the defendants are acting as members of a “group” under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in opposing the proposed merger, requiring the defendants to make certain securities filings and disclosures regarding their holdings, plans and intentions before engaging in a solicitation of MONY Group’s stockholders.

 

Subsequent Events —

 

Based on the first of these allegations, on February 3, 2004, Judge Loretta Preska granted MONY Group’s request for a temporary restraining order and prohibited defendants from enclosing any proxy voting card, including a duplicate copy of MONY Group’s proxy voting card, in their solicitation materials, pending a determination on whether a preliminary injunction should be issued. By order dated February 11, 2004, Judge Richard Holwell denied MONY Group’s motion for a preliminary injunction and dissolved the temporary restraining order. Later that day, MONY Group filed a notice of appeal from Judge Holwell’s order and made an emergency application to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, seeking an expedited appeal from the denial of the preliminary injunction, as well as a stay of Judge Holwell’s order dissolving the temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction pending appeal. A single judge of the Second Circuit denied MONY Group’s request for a stay or injunction pending appeal, but the Court granted MONY Group’s motion for an expedited appeal, which is now pending.

 

On February 20, 2004 defendants Southeastern Asset Management and Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund served a joint answer to the complaint. Discovery in the litigation is currently proceeding with respect to MONY Group’s 13(d) and proxy disclosure claims.

 

(iv) In July 2002, pursuant to a jury verdict, the Company was found liable and ordered to pay a former joint venture partner some of the proceeds distributed to the Company from the disposition of a real estate asset in 1999, which was formerly owned by the joint venture. As a result of the verdict, which the Company appealed, the Company recorded a charge aggregating $13.7 million pre-tax in its results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Approximately, $6.8 million of this charge was reflected in the income statement caption entitled “net realized gains/(losses) on investments” because it represented the return of proceeds originally included in the determination of the realized gain recognized by the Company in 1999 upon receipt of the aforementioned distribution. The balance of the charge, which was reflected in the income statement caption entitled “other operating costs and expenses” represented management’s best estimate of the interest that the court would have required the Company to pay its former joint venture partner, as well as legal costs. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company settled the litigation for approximately $4.3 million less than the provision previously recorded. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2003, the Company reversed such over-accrual to income, approximately $3.0 million of which was recorded as realized gains and $1.0 million as a reduction to other expenses. The Company’s appeal was subsequently withdrawn.

 

(v) In December 2002 the SEC and self-regulatory organizations (National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”)) directed all broker-dealers, including the Company, to evaluate their procedures with respect to mutual fund sales charge breakpoints. The outcome of the Company’s evaluation, including any determination it made with respect to sales charges paid by its customers, did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

 

(vi) Recently, there has been a significant increase in federal and state regulatory activity in the financial services industry relating to numerous issues, including market timing and late trading of mutual fund and variable insurance products. The Company, like many others in the financial services industry, has received requests for information from the SEC and the NASD

seeking documentation and other information relating to these issues. In addition, the SEC recently advised the Company of its plan to conduct an on-site examination of the Company’s variable annuities separate account. The Company has been responding to these requests and continues to cooperate fully with the regulators.

 

(vii) It is possible that the results of operations or the cash flow of the Company in a particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected as a result of the settlement, or re-evaluation of, the matters discussed above. Management believes, however, that the ultimate payments in connection with such matters should not have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial statements. In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is involved in various other legal actions and proceedings (some of which involve demands for unspecified damages) in connection with its business. In the opinion of management of the Company, resolution of contingent liabilities, income taxes and other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

(viii) At December 31, 2003, the Company had commitments to fund the following: $96.4 million of equity partnership investments, $5.0 million private fixed maturity security with an interest rate of 5.7%, $3.2 million of fixed rate agricultural loans with periodic interest rate reset dates with initial rates ranging from 5.25% to 6.35%, $132.7 million fixed and floating rate commercial mortgages with interest rates ranging from 3.67% to 8.0%.

 

(ix) The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for office space, furniture and equipment. These leases have remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year. Total rental expense for these operating leases, which includes lease abandonment charges taken in connection with the Company’s reorganization activities (see Note 25), amounted to $25.6 million in 2003, $32.6 million in 2002, and $44.0 million in 2001. The future minimum rental obligations for the next five years and thereafter under these leases are: $30.4 million for 2004, $27.1 million for 2005, $23.8 million for 2006, $22.1 million for 2007, $20.7 million for 2008, and $86.7 million for the years thereafter.

 

In 1988, the Company financed one of its real estate properties under a sale/leaseback arrangement with the proceeds received from the sale, amortized into income over the life of the lease. The lease has a term of 20 years beginning December 21, 1988 and requires minimum annual rental payments of $7.9 million in 2004, $8.0 million in 2005, $8.2 million in 2006, $8.4 million for 2007 and $8.5 million for 2007. The Company has the option to renew the lease at the end of the lease term.

 

19.  Statutory Financial Information and Regulatory Risk-Based Capital:

 

The combined statutory net loss reported by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $38.5 million, $83.5 million, and $30.2 million, respectively. The combined statutory surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $926.8 million and $906.4 million, respectively. Each of MONY Life, MLOA and USFL exceeds the minimum risk based capital requirements imposed by their respective state of domicile.

The carrying value of fixed maturity securities in the Closed Block at December 31, 2003 and 2002 is net of “other than temporary impairment” adjustments of $56.4 million and $60.5 million, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were $15.1 million and $0.6 million of fixed maturity securities in the Closed Block which have been non-income producing for the twelve months preceding such dates.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were problem fixed maturity securities in the Closed Block of $129.9 million and $123.3 million, respectively. There were no potential problem or restructured fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Closed Block recognized $1.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of interest income on impaired loans.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, there were $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of mortgage loans in the Closed Block which were non-income producing for the twelve months preceding such dates.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Closed Block had restructured mortgage loans of $4.7 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Interest income of $0.4 million and $0.6 million was recognized on such loans for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Gross interest income on these loans that would have been recorded in accordance with the original terms of such loans amounted to approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the respective periods.

 

The pre-tax Contribution from the Closed Block includes only those revenues, benefit payments, dividends, premium taxes, state guaranty fund assessments, and investment expenses considered in funding the Closed Block. However, many expenses associated with operating the Closed Block and administering the policies included therein were excluded from and, accordingly, are not funded in the Closed Block. These expenses are reported in the Company’s statement of income and comprehensive income in the separate line items to which they apply based on the nature of such expenses. Federal income taxes applicable to the Closed Block, which are funded in the Closed Block, are reflected as a component of federal income tax expense in the Company’s statement of income and comprehensive income. Since many expenses related to the Closed Block are funded outside the Closed Block, operating costs and expenses outside the Closed Block are disproportionate to the level of business outside the Closed Block.

 

21.  The Closed Block Business:

 

The Closed Block Business (“CBB”) is comprised of certain amounts within MONY Holdings and MONY Life. Within MONY Holdings, the CBB includes: (i) the Insured Notes, (ii) the capitalized costs of issuing the Insured Notes, (iii) the DSCA Sub-account CBB (see Note 22), (iv) the Swap, and (v) the Insurance Policy (see Note 1). Within MONY Life, the CBB includes: (i) the Closed Block discussed in Notes 3 and 20 and (ii) an amount of capital (hereafter referred to as “Surplus and Related Assets”) outside the Closed Block, but within MONY Life, that when aggregated with the assets and liabilities in the Closed Block results in an aggregate carrying value of assets in the CBB within MONY Life in excess of the carrying value of the liabilities in the CBB within MONY Life. The amount by which the assets in the CBB within MONY Life exceed the liabilities in the CBB within MONY Life represents a sufficient amount of capital based on regulatory standards to support the CBB within MONY Life. All business of MONY Holdings and its subsidiary, consolidated, other than the CBB is defined in the Insured Notes indenture as the Ongoing Business (“OB”). The determination of the amount of Surplus and Related Assets was based on Statutory Accounting Practices as required by the Insured Notes indenture. As the Closed Block’s results of operations emerge, an equal amount of the Surplus and Related Assets is intended to become available to the OB. The investment of the Surplus and Related Assets is restricted to permitted investments and subject to certain concentration limitations as outlined in the Insured Note indenture (see Note 1).

(1) Includes: (i) revenues and expenses associated with the DSCA, the Insured Notes and the Swap for the period from April 30, 2002 (the date of MONY Holdings’ commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002, (ii) the net contribution to income from the Surplus and Related Assets from April 30, 2002 (the date of MONY Holdings’ commencement of operations) through December 31, 2002, and (iii) the results of operations from the Closed Block from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002.

 

The statutory surplus of MONY Life as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $926.8 million and $906.4 million, respectively, of which $436.8 million and $409.8 million, respectively, was attributable to the OB and $490.0 million and $496.6 million, respectively, was attributable to the CBB. The statutory net gain from operations of MONY Life for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $87.4 million and $154.6 million, respectively, of which $9.2 million and $59.3 million, respectively, was attributable to the OB and $78.2 million and $95.3 million, respectively, was attributable to the CBB. The net gain from operations attributable to the CBB includes: (i) the net contribution to income from the Surplus and Related Assets and (ii) the results of operations from the Closed Block.

 

22.  The Insured Notes:

 

Dividends from MONY Life are the principal source of cash inflow, which will enable MONY Holdings to meet its obligations under the Insured Notes. The ability of MONY Life to declare and pay MONY Holdings a dividend is governed by the Insurance Law of the State of New York. The Insurance Law of the State of New York permits a stock life insurance company to pay dividends each calendar year, without the prior approval of the superintendent of the insurance department, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) ten percent of its “policyholders’ surplus” as of the end of the preceding calendar year or (b) the company’s “net gain from operations” for the preceding calendar year (not including realized capital gains), as determined in accordance with Statutory Accounting Practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department of the State of New York (hereafter referred to as the “NY Dividend Statute”).

 

In addition, pursuant to the Note indenture, dividends to MONY Holdings from MONY Life are required to be allocated between the OB and the CBB. This allocation, while principally based on separately applying the NY Dividend Statute to the “policyholders’ surplus” and “net gain from operations” attributable to the OB and the CBB, is subject to certain adjustments described in the Note indenture. The amount of the dividend attributable to the CBB is required to be deposited in the DSCA — Subaccount CBB. As described in the Note indenture, the amount of the dividend deposited in the DSCA — Subaccount CBB will not generally be available for dividend to the MONY Group until all the obligations to pay principal, interest and other amounts on the Insured Notes are fully extinguished. Under limited circumstances, if the fair value of the DSCA exceeds amounts set forth in the Note indenture, such excess can become available earlier for dividend to the MONY Group. The amount of such dividend attributable to the OB will generally be available to MONY Holdings to pay dividends to the MONY Group. See Note 1 for additional information regarding the Insured Notes.

 

In 2003, MONY Life paid a dividend to MONY Holdings in the amount of $25.0 million, of which $13.8 million was retained by MONY Holdings in its DSCA Sub-account CBB and $11.2 million was paid by MONY Holdings in the form of a dividend to MONY Group. In 2002, MONY Life paid a dividend to MONY Holdings in the amount of $90.0 million, of which $15.6 million was retained by MONY Holdings in the DSCA Sub-account CBB and $74.4 million was paid by MONY Holdings in the form of a dividend to MONY Group.

Stock Incentive Plans —

 

1998 Stock Incentive Plan and 2002 Stock Option Plan

 

In November 1998, upon approval of the New York Insurance Department, MONY Group adopted the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 SIP”) for employees of the Company and certain of its career financial professionals, as well as certain employees of other subsidiaries of the MONY Group. As a condition for its approval of the 1998 SIP, the New York Insurance Department restricted options under the plan to no more than five percent of the shares of MONY Group’s common stock outstanding as of the date of its initial public offering (2,361,908 shares). Options granted under the 1998 SIP may be Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) qualifying under Section 422(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”).

 

Pursuant to the 1998 SIP, options may be granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair value of MONY Group’s common stock as determined on the date of grant. In addition, one-third of each option granted pursuant to the 1998 SIP shall become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries following the date such option is granted and will remain exercisable for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2003, options to acquire 2,404,138 common shares of the MONY Group had been issued to employees and certain career financial professionals of the Company under the 1998 SIP. Options to acquire 1,627,782 of these common shares remained outstanding as of December 31, 2003.

 

In May 2002, MONY Group’s shareholders approved the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 SOP”) and the allocation of 5,000,000 shares of MONY Group common stock for grants under that 2002 SOP Plan. Options granted under the plan may not be exercised, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the grantee prior to December 24, 2003, even if vested. Options granted under the 2002 SOP are NQSOs. Options may be granted at a price not less than 100% of the fair value of MONY Group’s common stock as determined on the date of grant, and vesting provisions are determined at the discretion of the MONY Group’s board of directors. As of December 31, 2003, options to acquire 1,881,425 common shares of the MONY Group had been issued to employees and certain career financial professionals of the Company and 1,881,425 of these options were outstanding under the 2002 SOP. All options granted through December 31, 2003 under the 2002 SOP vest one-third ratably on the December 31st after each of the first three anniversaries following the date such option was granted, and will remain exercisable for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant.

 

A summary of the Company’s activity under these stock incentive plans for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is presented below:

23.  Stock-Based Compensation: (continued)

 

During 2003 there were 836,025 options granted with a weighted average exercise price of $21.96 and a weighted average fair value of $7.59.

 

As of December 31, 2003 there were 1,729,280 options exercisable, with exercise prices ranging from $27.06 to $44.25, and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.7 years.

 

At December 31, 2003 there were 3,509,207 options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $20.90 to $44.25, and a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately 7.7 years. Approximately 28.4% or 996,940 of the options outstanding at December 31, 2003 had an exercise price of $30.50. These options had a remaining contractual life of approximately 5.9 years.

 

At the effective date of the initial grants of options pursuant to the 1998 SIP, the Company elected to apply the accounting prescribed by APB 25 to option grants to employees and, accordingly, make the required pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value accounting prescribed by SFAS 123 had been adopted (see Note 4). Pursuant to the requirements of APB 25, the options granted by the Company under the 1998 SIP and the 2002 SOP to employees qualify as non-compensatory. Accordingly, the Company is not required to recognize any compensation expense with respect to such option grants. Based on the definition of an “employee” prescribed in the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s career financial professionals do not qualify as employees. Accordingly, with respect to grants of options under both the SIP and the SOP to career financial professionals, the Company adopted the accounting provisions of SFAS 123. Pursuant to the guidance in SFAS 123 and related interpretations, vesting provisions attached to stock based compensation issued to non-employees constitute a performance based condition which requires variable plan accounting. Under variable plan accounting, the fair value of the option grant must be re-measured at the end of each accounting period, until the options are 100 percent vested. Accordingly, the compensation cost charged to expense during any particular accounting period represents the difference between the vested percentage of the fair value of the options at the end of the accounting period and the cumulative compensation cost charged to expense in prior periods. Compensation cost is determined based on the fair value of such options using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Such compensation cost is required to be recognized over the vesting period. The compensation expense related to options granted to career financial professionals varies with and primarily relates to the production of business and as such is recognized as DPAC and is amortized on a basis consistent with how earnings emerge from the underlying products that gave rise to such DPAC. The deferred expense amount relating to options granted to career financial professionals which were outstanding was $0.5 million and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock Plan —

 

In May 2001, MONY Group shareholders approved The MONY Group Inc. Restricted Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, management has the authority to grant up to 1,000,000 restricted shares of MONY Group common stock to eligible employees, as defined in the Plan, and to establish vesting and forfeiture conditions relating thereto. During 2002 and 2001, MONY Group granted 97,143 and 352,050 restricted shares, respectively, to certain members of management pursuant to the Plan. The 2002 and 2001 awards made under the Plan are conditioned on: (i) the expiration of a vesting period and (ii) an increase in the average per share price of MONY Group common stock above specified targets. In accordance with APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized on the awards proportionally over the vesting period of the award provided that the condition with respect to the average price of MONY Group common stock is satisfied at the end of any period. In March 2003, MONY Group granted 334,050 restricted shares to certain members of management under the Plan. The 2003 awards made under the Plan are conditioned only on the expiration of a vesting period.

24.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”) goodwill is periodically tested for impairment and is no longer amortized. The following tables set forth the impact of the adoption of SFAS 142 on the Company’s net income for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. In addition, as required by SFAS 142, management tested the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill at December 31, 2003 and determined that no impairment exists.

25.  Reorganization and Other Charges:

 

During 2003, the Company recorded charges aggregating $5.8 million as part of the Company’s continuing initiative to enhance operating efficiency and effectively allocate resources. These charges consisted of: (i) severance and related benefits of $1.1 million incurred in connection with the merger of MONY Asset Management, Inc.’s (“MAM”) operations into Boston Advisors, a subsidiary of The Advest Group, Inc., and the resulting termination of certain employees of MONY Life that provided professional services to MAM pursuant to a service agreement between MAM and MONY Life; (ii) losses from the abandonment of leased offices of $1.3 million; (iii) losses from the abandonment of leased space in the Company’s home office of $2.0 million; (iv) write-offs of unused furniture and equipment in certain abandoned agency offices of $1.3 million; and (v) moving and alteration costs incurred in connection with the consolidation of leased space in the Company’s home office of $0.2 million. The severance actions were substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2003. The reserves established for the abandonment of leased agency offices and leased space in the Company’s home office are expected to run-off through 2008 and 2016, respectively. All of the charges recorded in 2003 represent “costs associated with exit or disposal activities” as described in SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (“SFAS 146”).

25.  Reorganization and Other Charges: (continued)

 

During the fourth quarter of 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded reorganization and other charges aggregating approximately $7.2 million and $144.4 million, respectively, as part of the Company’s initiative to enhance operating efficiency, more effectively allocate resources and capital, and discontinue certain non-core operations. Of these charges, $7.2 million and $19.0 million, respectively, met the definition of “restructure charges” as defined by Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”. The 2002 restructure charge consisted of severance and related benefits resulting from headcount reductions of 161 and 26, respectively, in the Company’s home office and career agency system, as well as losses from the abandonment of certain leased offices and equipment. The 2001 restructure charge consisted of severance and related benefits of $10.3 million resulting from headcount reductions of 117 and 240, in the Company’s home office and career agency system, respectively, and $8.7 million of other miscellaneous items. These actions were substantially completed in 2002. The remaining restructuring reserves primarily relate to lease abandonment costs and are expected to run-off through 2007. The balance of the charge in 2001, $125.4 million, was unrelated to the Company’s restructure activities and consisted of: (i) impairments of certain invested assets and valuation related write -downs of private equity securities held in the Company’s equity method venture capital portfolio, (ii) the write-off of deferred sales charges in the Company’s mutual fund business to reflect revised estimates of recoverability which are principally due to the decline in the value of the Company’s internet funds, (iii) write-downs of certain information technology assets, and (iv) other miscellaneous items.

 

The following tables summarize the components of the aforementioned charges recorded in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. None of the charges referred to below as “Reorganization Charges” have been allocated to the Company’s operating segments, however, the charges in 2001 referred to as “Other Charges” have been allocated to the Company’s operating segments. All Reorganization Charges incurred in 2003, 2002 and 2001 are reported as reconciling items.
