Interest credited to contractholders includes interest credited on general account assets and interest credited on consumer notes.

Preferred stock dividend requirements represent the amount of pre-tax earnings that would be required to pay the dividends on outstanding preferred stock. Preferred stock dividend requirements are determined using the Company's effective income tax rate unless use of the Company's effective income tax rate would result in pre-tax losses for purposes of determining the dividend requirements, as in 2012 and 2011 when income tax benefits exceeded losses from continuing operations.
[4]
Ratios of less than one-to-one are presented as “NM” or not meaningful.

Represents additional earnings that would be necessary to result in a one-to-one ratio.
[6]
These secondary ratios are disclosed for the convenience of fixed income investors and the rating agencies that serve them and are more comparable to the ratios disclosed by all issuers of fixed income securities.
