As discussed in Note 2, a portion of certain OTTI losses on fixed maturity securities are recognized in OCI. For these securities the net amount recognized in earnings (“credit loss impairments”) represents the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the net present value of its projected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the debt security prior to impairment. Any remaining difference between the fair value and amortized cost is recognized in OCI. The following table sets forth the amount of pre-tax credit loss impairments on fixed maturity securities held by the Company as of the dates indicated, for which a portion of the OTTI loss was recognized in OCI, and the corresponding changes in such amounts.

The commercial mortgage and agricultural property loans are geographically dispersed throughout the United States, Canada and Asia with the largest concentrations in California (23%), New York (16%) and Ohio (11%) at June 30, 2012.

Activity in the allowance for losses for all commercial mortgage and other loans, as of the dates indicated, is as follows:

(1) Agricultural loans represent $0.2 million of the ending allowance at both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The following tables set forth the allowance for credit losses and the recorded investment in commercial mortgage and other loans as of dates indicated:

Impaired loans include those loans for which it is probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not all be collected. As shown in the table above, there were no impaired commercial mortgage and other loans identified in management's specific review of probable loan losses and related allowance at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The average recorded investment in impaired loans with an allowance recorded, before the allowance for losses, was $0 million and $3.0 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

There was no net investment income recognized on these loans for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2011. See Note 2 for information regarding the Company's accounting policies for non-performing loans.

Impaired commercial mortgage and other loans with no allowance for losses are loans in which the fair value of the collateral or the net present value of the loans' expected future cash flows equals or exceeds the recorded investment. The Company had no such loans at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. See Note 2 for information regarding the Company's accounting policies for non-performing loans.

As described in Note 2, loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios are measures commonly used to assess the quality of commercial mortgage and other loans. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 86% or $399 million of the recorded investment and 85% or $384 million of the recorded investment, respectively, had a loan-to-value ratio of less than 80%. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 87% and 96% of the recorded investment had a debt service coverage ratio of 1.0X or greater, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 13% or $59 million and 4% or $19 million, respectively, of the recorded investment had a loan-to-value ratio greater than 100% or debt service coverage ratio less than 1.0X, reflecting loans where the mortgage amount exceeds the collateral value or where current debt payments are greater than income from property operations; none of which related to agricultural loans.

All commercial mortgage and other loans were in current status including $0 million and $3.1 million of hospitality loans in non-accrual status at June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding non-accrual status loans.

During 2011, the Company sold commercial mortgage loans to an affiliated company. See Note 7 for further discussion regarding related party transactions.

Commercial mortgage and other loans are occasionally restructured in a troubled debt restructuring. These restructurings generally include one or more of the following: full or partial payoffs outside of the original contract terms: changes to interest rates; extensions of maturity; or additions or modifications to covenants. Additionally, the Company may accept assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt as part of a troubled debt restructuring. When restructurings occur, they are evaluated individually to determine whether the restructuring or modification constitutes a “troubled debt restructuring” as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. The Company's outstanding investment related to commercial mortgage and other loans that have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring is not material.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has not committed to provide additional funds to borrowers that have been involved in a troubled debt restructuring.

Net unrealized investment gains and losses on securities classified as “available-for-sale” and certain other long-term investments and other assets are included in the Unaudited Interim Statements of Financial Position as a component of AOCI. Changes in these amounts include reclassification adjustments to exclude from OCI those items that are included as part of “Net income” for a period that had been part of OCI in earlier periods. The amounts for the periods indicated below, split between amounts related to fixed maturity securities on which an OTTI loss has been recognized, and all other net unrealized investment gains and losses, are as follows:

The gross unrealized losses, related to fixed maturities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are composed of $2.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, related to high or highest quality securities based on National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) or equivalent rating and $1.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, related to other than high or highest quality securities based on NAIC or equivalent rating. At June 30, 2012, none of the gross unrealized losses represented declines in value of greater than 20%, as compared to $3.4 million at December 31, 2011 that represented declines in value of greater than 20%, $0.3 million of which had been in that position for less than six months. At June 30, 2012, the $2.4 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in asset backed securities and the service and manufacturing sectors of the Company's corporate securities. At December 31, 2011, $4.3 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in asset backed securities, $1.7 million in services and $1.1 million in manufacturing sector of the Company's corporate securities.

In accordance with its policy described in Note 2, the Company concluded that an adjustment to earnings for other-than-temporary impairments for these securities was not warranted at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. These conclusions are based on a detailed analysis of the underlying credit and cash flows on each security. The gross unrealized losses are primarily attributable to credit spread widening and increased liquidity discounts. At June 30, 2012, the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no gross unrealized losses, related to equity securities that represented declines of greater than 20%.
