Dear Policyholder,

 

As of May 1, 2003, we will no longer sell Trillium policies and therefore we will not be updating the Trillium prospectus annually as we have done in the past. We will continue to send existing policyholders updated prospectuses for the underlying funds, audited financials of the variable annuity account, other periodic reports, all proxy materials of the funds, including proxy statements and related voting instructions, and other shareholder materials pertaining to the portfolios of the underlying funds.

 

Please keep the enclosed prospectus for the underlying funds with your policy as it contains important information including fund availability. It is updated annually. Also enclosed are the audited financial statements for the Canada Life of America Variable Annuity Account 2. Audited financial statements for Canada Life Insurance Company of America (the “Company”) are available to you, upon request. If you request the Company’s audited financial statements they will be sent to you without charge.

 

If you have any questions, please contact your Registered Representative or our Variable Annuity Administration Department at 800-905-1959.

 

I would like to thank you for choosing Canada Life’s Trillium variable products to meet your financial needs.

 

Sincerely,

 

/S/    RONALD E. BEETTAM


Ronald E. Beettam

President

Report of the Independent Auditors

 

Board of Directors of Canada Life Insurance Company of America

and Contract Owners of Canada Life of America Variable Annuity Account 2

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Canada Life of America Variable Annuity Account 2 (the “Company”) (comprising, respectively, the Bond, Capital, Cash Management, Common Stock, Communications and Information, Frontier, Global Growth, Global Smaller Companies, Global Technology, High-Yield Bond, Income, International Growth, Large-Cap Growth, Large-Cap Value and Small-Cap Value sub-accounts) as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and broker. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective sub-accounts constituting the Canada Life of America Variable Annuity Account 2 at December 31, 2002, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1.    Organization

 

Canada Life of America Variable Annuity Account 2 (“Variable Annuity Account 2”) was established on February 26, 1993 as a separate investment account of Canada Life Insurance Company of America (“CLICA”) to receive and invest premium payments under variable annuity policies issued by CLICA. Variable Annuity Account 2 is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The assets of Variable Annuity Account 2 are invested in the shares of Seligman Portfolios, Inc. (the “Fund”), a diversified, open-end, management investment company. Variable Annuity Account 2 has fifteen sub-accounts, each of which invests only in the shares of the corresponding portfolio of the Fund.

 

The assets of Variable Annuity Account 2 are the property of CLICA. The portion of Variable Annuity Account 2 assets applicable to the policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business CLICA may conduct.

 

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

 

Investments

 

Investments in shares of the Fund are valued at the reported net asset values of the respective portfolios. Realized gains and losses are computed on the basis of average cost. The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on investments.

 

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

 

Dividends and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and reflect the dividends declared by the Fund from their accumulated net investment income and net realized investment gains. Except for the Cash Management Portfolio, whose dividends are declared daily and paid monthly, dividends and capital gain distributions are declared and paid annually. Dividends and capital gain distributions paid to the Variable Annuity Account 2 are reinvested in additional shares of the respective portfolio of the Fund at the net asset value per share.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

Variable Annuity Account 2 is not taxed separately because the operations of Variable Annuity Account 2 will be included in the federal income tax return of CLICA, which is taxed as a “life insurance company” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Other

 

Variable Annuity Account 2 has no contracts in payout (annuitization) period.

 

There are no amounts retained in Variable Annuity Account 2 by CLICA to protect against adverse mortality.

 

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

4.    Expenses and Related Party Transactions

 

CLICA assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of Variable Annuity Account 2 and deducts a daily charge equal to an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the net asset value of each Sub-Account. In addition, an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net asset value of each Sub-Account is deducted as daily administration fees. Variable Annuity Account 2 also deducts an annual maintenance charge of $30 for each contract. The maintenance charge, which is recorded as a transfer for contract benefits and terminations in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets, is waived on certain contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 


 

Board of Directors

Canada Life Insurance Company of America

 

We have audited the accompanying statutory balance sheets of Canada Life Insurance Company of America as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statutory statements of operations, capital and surplus, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

As described in Note B to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Insurance Department, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The variances between such practices and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are described in Note B. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

 

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the financial position of Canada Life Insurance Company of America at December 31, 2002 and 2001, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.

 

However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Canada Life Insurance Company of America at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Insurance Department.

 

As discussed in Note B to the financial statements, in 2001, Canada Life Insurance Company of America changed various accounting policies to be in accordance with the revised NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, as adopted by the Michigan Insurance Department.

CANADA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002

 

NOTE A

 

Nature of Operations.    Canada Life Insurance Company of America (CLICA or the Company) was incorporated on April 12, 1988 in the State of Michigan and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Canada Life Assurance Company (CLA), a stock life and accident and health insurance company. The Company’s business consists primarily of group and individual annuity policies assumed from CLA. The Company’s direct business consists of individual variable annuity and institutional investment products. The Company is licensed to sell its products in 49 states and the District of Columbia; however, its primary markets are California, Illinois, Arkansas, Missouri and Georgia. The Company’s variable annuity products are sold by agents who are licensed and registered representatives of the Company’s subsidiary, Canada Life of America Financial Services, Inc. as well as other independent agents.

 

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

 

NOTE B

 

Accounting Practices and Basis of Presentation.    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Office of Financial and Insurance Services for the State of Michigan, which practices differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Effective January 1, 2001, the State of Michigan required that insurance companies domiciled in the State of Michigan prepare their statutory basis financial statements in accordance with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual – Version effective January 1, 2001 subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the State of Michigan Insurance Commissioner.

 

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual—Version effective January 1, 2001 are reported as changes in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned surplus in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods.

 

As a result of these changes, the Company reported a change of accounting principle, as an increase to unassigned surplus, of $4,001,000 as of January 1, 2001. Included in this total adjustment is an increase in unassigned surplus of $1,715,000 related to deferred tax assets, a decrease in unassigned surplus of $1,068,000 related to bond impairments and an increase in unassigned surplus of $3,354,000 related to interest rate swaps.

CANADA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002

 

NOTE B

 

Accounting Practices and Basis of Presentation (continued).

 

The statutory accounting practices (SAP) followed by the Company differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) primarily as follows:

 

  Investments: For SAP, all fixed maturities are reported at amortized cost less write-downs for certain temporary and other-than-temporary impairments. For SAP, the fair values of bonds and stocks are based on values specified by the NAIC versus a quoted or estimated fair value as required for GAAP.

 

For GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a component of shareholder’s equity for those designated as available-for-sale.

 

Credit tenant loans are classified as bonds for SAP and would be considered mortgage loans for GAAP.

 

Changes between cost and admitted asset amounts of investment real estate are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be the case for GAAP.

 

Realized gains and losses on investments for SAP are reported in income, net of tax. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses would be reported in the income statement on a pre tax basis in the period the asset is sold.

 

An interest maintenance reserve (IMR) is established under SAP and serves to defer the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates. The deferred gains and losses are amortized into investment income over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual investments sold in one to ten-year time periods. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses would be reported in the income statement on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

 

Under SAP, an asset valuation reserve (AVR) is established and represents a provision for market and credit based fluctuations in the statement value of invested assets. It is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a reduction in the cost basis of the investment. The change in the AVR flows directly through unassigned surplus. Under GAAP the cost basis of the investments would be reduced when there has been a decline in value deemed other-than-temporary, in which case the decline would be charged to earnings.

CANADA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2002

 

NOTE B

 

Accounting Practices and Basis of Presentation (continued).

 

Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans based on (1) the difference between the unpaid loan balance and the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate when such loans are determined to be in default as to scheduled payments and (2) a reduction to a maximum percentage of 75% of the most recently appraised value of the underlying real estate, exclusive of insured, guaranteed or purchase money mortgages. Under GAAP, valuation allowances would be established when the Company determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus for SAP, rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required for GAAP.

 

  Policy Acquisition Costs:    For SAP, the cost of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality, and expense margins.

 

  Nonadmitted Assets:    Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, principally software development costs, past due agents’ balances and deferred tax assets that will not be realized within one year of the balance sheet date, would be included in GAAP assets but are excluded from the SAP balance sheets with changes therein credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.

 

  Subsidiaries:    The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

 

  Recognition of Premiums:    For SAP, revenues for annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting, and credited directly to the liability for policy reserves without recognizing premium income. Under GAAP, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values.

 

  Benefit Reserves:    Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutorily required interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

Accounting Practices and Basis of Presentation (continued).

 

  Reinsurance:    Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP. For SAP, commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

 

  Deferred Income Taxes:    Deferred tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse by the end of the subsequent calendar year, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date or 10% of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred tax assets, EDP equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities. The remaining deferred tax assets are nonadmitted. Deferred taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred taxes, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not realizable.

 

  Policyholder Dividends:    Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies as required for GAAP.

 

  Statements of Cash Flows:    Cash and short term investments in the statement of cash flows represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding captions of cash and cash equivalents include cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

 

The effects of the foregoing variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

 

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

 

  Investments:    Bonds, mortgage loans, common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate, policy loans, short-term investments and derivative instruments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

Accounting Practices and Basis of Presentation (continued).

 

Bonds not backed by other loans, loan-backed bonds and structured securities are stated at amortized cost using the constant yield method except those with an NAIC designation of 6, which are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. These securities are revalued for significant changes in the prepayment assumptions using the retrospective method.

 

Canada Life of America Financial Services, Inc. and CL Capital Management, Inc. are wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company values its subsidiaries in accordance with Part 8, Section 3 (b) of the Purposes and Procedures manual of the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at amortized cost using the straight-line method.

 

Common stocks are stated at market value, except that investments in the stocks of uncombined subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has an interest of 20% or more are carried on the equity basis.

 

Preferred stocks are carried at actual cost.

 

Investments in real estate or property acquired in satisfaction of debt are carried at depreciated cost less encumbrances.

 

Policy loans are carried at the aggregate unpaid principal balance.

 

Short-term investments include investments with maturities of less than one year at the date of acquisition. The carrying values reported in the balance sheet are at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

 

All derivatives are stated at fair value with the change in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations.

 

·   Premiums and Annuity Considerations:    Premium revenues are recognized when due for other than annuities, which are recognized when received.

 

·   Separate Accounts:    Separate Accounts are maintained to receive and invest premium payments under individual variable annuity and variable universal life policies issued by the Company. The assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identifiable and distinguishable from other assets and liabilities of the Company. The contractholder bears the investment risk. Separate Account assets are reported at fair value. The operations of the Separate Account are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

·   Life Insurance and Annuity Reserves: All policies, except variable universal life and variable annuity products, were acquired through coinsurance reinsurance agreements with CLA. The reserves established meet the requirements of the Insurance Law and Regulations of the State of Michigan and are consistent with the reserving practices of CLA.

 

Some policies promise a surrender value in excess of the reserve as legally computed. This excess is calculated on a policy by policy basis.

 

Policies issued at premiums corresponding to ages higher than the true ages are valued at the rated-up ages. For policies issued with, or subsequently subject to, an extra premium payable annually, an extra reserve is held. The extra premium reserve is 45% of the gross extra premium payable during the year if the policies are rated for reasons other than medical impairments. For medical impairments, the extra premium reserve is calculated at the excess of the reserve based on rated mortality over that of standard mortality.

 

At the end of 2002 and 2001, the Company had no insurance in force for which the gross premiums were less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation set by the State of Michigan. The tabular interest and tabular cost have been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves. The tabular less actual reserve released and the tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies have been determined by formula. Other increases are insignificant and relate to the Company valuing the deferred acquisition costs and/or back-end charges in connection with the variable annuity.

 

All sub-standard annuities other than structured settlements are valued at their true ages, while structured settlements are valued using constant addition to the mortality rate at their true ages.

The Company has sold variable annuity contracts containing a dollar-for-dollar withdrawal provision, which provides for a reduction in the guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) on a dollar-for-dollar basis when a partial withdrawal occurs. Currently there is ambiguity as to the correct interpretation of Actuarial Guideline XXXIII, “Determining CARVM Reserves for Annuity Contracts with Elective Benefits” (AG XXXIII) and Actuarial Guideline XXXIV, “Variable Annuity Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefit Reserves” (AG XXXIV) as to the appropriate application of these guidelines in determining the reserves for these products. In calculating the policy liability reserves for these variable annuity contracts, the Company does not consider the benefit streams where all policyholders take the maximum partial withdrawal under these policies while maintaining the GMDB.

 

At the time of issuance of these financial statements, the Michigan Insurance Department, which is ultimately responsible for determining the appropriate reserving methods for the statutory financial statements of Michigan domiciled insurance companies, has acknowledged the inherent ambiguity and controversy as to the correct interpretation of AG XXXIII and AG XXXIV with respect to GMDB benefit reserves required for variable annuity contracts containing dollar-for-dollar withdrawal provisions. As a result, the Michigan Insurance Department has allowed the Company to continue to follow its current method of reserving for these variable annuity contracts until such time that guidance is issued that clarifies the ambiguity between AG XXXIII and AG XXXIV. If the Company had provided additional reserves through the use of the maximum partial withdrawal scenarios of AG XXXIII as of December 31, 2002, assuming no change to the opening reserve balance, policy liability reserves would have increased by approximately $30 million and surplus would have decreased by approximately $30 million.

 

·   Federal Income Tax:    Federal income taxes are provided based on an estimate of the amount currently payable which may not bear a normal relationship to pretax income because of timing and other differences in the calculation of taxable income.

The fair value for fixed maturities is based on values specified by the NAIC. In cases where NAIC prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using values obtained from independent pricing services, or, in the case of private placements, by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the investments. The NAIC does not specify fair values for mortgage/asset–backed bonds, therefore carrying value approximates fair value.

Fire insurance is required on all properties covered by mortgage loans at least equal to the excess of the loan over the maximum loan which would be permitted by law on the land without the buildings. During 2002, the Company did not reduce interest rates on any outstanding mortgage loan. Mortgages held by the Company on which interest was more than 180 days overdue were $1,883,000 and $1,898,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The mortgage loans are typically collateralized by the related properties and the loan-to-value ratios at the date of loan origination generally do not exceed 75%. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the borrowers, assuming that the associated collateral proved to be of no value, is represented by the outstanding principal and accrued interest balances of the respective loans. Non-admitted mortgage loans decreased $1,350,000 in 2002 and increased $1,369,000 in 2001. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 the Company held no mortgages with prior outstanding liens.

Futures: Financial futures are exchange-traded contracts that settle at a future date and are used by the Company as a tool to manage interest rate risk. The price volatility of these contracts is based on sensitivity to interest rate changes over time. The use of futures exposes the Company to minimal credit risk because trades are effected through a regulated exchange and positions are marked to market on a daily basis. The Company is required to put up collateral for any futures contracts that are entered. The amount of collateral that is required is determined by the exchange on which it is traded. The Company currently utilizes US Treasury bills to satisfy this collateral requirement.

 

Strategies that the Company is engaging in or has employed in the past are:

 

·   Purchase of futures to hedge new business annuity commitments
·   Sale of futures where the Company commits to final asset pricing without a liability commitment
·   Purchase or sale of futures to move the Company’s asset duration and convexity in line with its liabilities
·   Purchase or sale of futures as a cost-efficient alternative to a cash transaction involving conventional fixed income investments for reasons of market liquidity, or in circumstances where a conventional transaction would force the realization of large capital gains or losses.

 

The Company recognized no gains or losses during 2002 resulting from derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting.

 

Futures are marked-to-market daily, and gains and losses are recognized in current earnings. The notional value at December 31, 2002 for all open futures was $206,639,000.

 

Swaps: Swaps are over-the-counter contracts that arrange for the exchange of cash flows at specified intervals. The Company uses swaps to hedge currency risk and interest rate risk of its bonds and mortgages. The Company is exposed to credit risk by the potential for a swap counterparty to fail to meet its obligations under the contract. The Company mitigates credit risk by limiting its acceptable counterparties to those with a minimum credit rating of AA-, as defined by Standard & Poor’s.

 

Strategies that the Company is engaging in or has employed in the past are:

 

·   Currency swap transactions whereby cash flows of foreign paying securities are exchanged for US currency equivalents
·   Interest rate swap transactions, generally exchanging the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts, in order to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities.

These holdings amounted to 10.7% of the bond portfolio and 5.2% of CLICA’s total admitted assets. The portfolio is well diversified by industry.

 

CLICA’s mortgage portfolio is well diversified by region and property type with 16.0% in California (book value—$144,174,000), 12.0% in New York (book value—$108,339,000), 11.6% in Ohio (book value—$104,248,000), 10.4% in Michigan (book value—$93,335,000) and with investments in the remainder of the states less than 10%. The investments consist of first mortgage liens. Significant outstanding balances on individual properties include $16,052,000 on an apartment property in Pennsylvania and $11,505,000 on an apartment property in New York. All other mortgage loans have outstanding principal of less than $10,000,000.

1.   The fair value for fixed maturities is based on values specified by the NAIC. In cases where NAIC prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using values obtained from independent pricing services, or, in the case of private placements, by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued).

 

2.   Fair values are based on publicly quoted market prices at the close of trading on the last business day of the year.

 

3.   Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently being offered for similar credit ratings.

 

4.   Fair values for future contracts and interest rate swaps that have not settled are based on current settlement values.

 

5.   Fair values for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts are estimated using discounted liability calculations, adjusted to approximate the effect of current market interest rates for the assets supporting the liabilities.
