FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements under Business, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, and elsewhere in this report may contain forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events, financial performance, business prospects, growth and operating strategies and
similar matters. You can identify these statements by the fact that they may use words such as will, may, anticipates, expects, estimates, projects, intends,
plans, believes, targets, forecasts, potential, approximately, or the negative version of those words and other words and terms with a similar meaning. Any forward-looking
statements contained in this report are based upon our historical performance and on current plans, estimates and expectations. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person
that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Our actual results might differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or review any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or other developments.

In addition to other factors
described in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those currently estimated by management: (i) general global economic, financial market and political conditions (including
difficult conditions in financial markets and the global economic slowdown, fluctuations in interest rates, mortgage rates, monetary policies and inflationary pressure); (ii) a decline in our credit or financial strength ratings (including the
currently heightened risk of ratings downgrade, in the insurance industry); (iii) deterioration in the Companys market capitalization compared to its book value that could impair the Companys goodwill; (iv) failure to maintain
significant client relationships, distribution sources and contractual arrangements; (v) failure to attract and retain sales representatives; (vi) inadequacy of reserves established for future claims losses; (vii) failure to predict
or manage benefits, claims and other costs; (viii) diminished value of invested assets in our investment portfolio (due to, among other things, recent volatility in financial markets, other-than-temporary-impairments, the global economic
slowdown, credit and liquidity risk, and inability to target an appropriate overall risk level); (ix) inability of reinsurers to meet their obligations; (x) insolvency of third parties to whom we have sold or may sell businesses through

Legal Organization

Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York is a stock life insurance company formed in 1971 and organized under the laws of the
State of New York. It is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Assurant, Inc. (Assurant), which owns and operates companies that provide specialty insurance products and related services in North America and selected other markets.
Assurant is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AIZ.

In this report, references to the Company, Union
Security Life, we, us or our refer to Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York.

Business
Organization

Union Security Life, which is licensed to sell life, health and annuity insurance only in New York State, writes insurance
products that are marketed in New York State by the Assurant Employee Benefits and Assurant Solutions operating segments (see Assurants 2008 Form 10-K for a full description of each of these segments). Within the Assurant Employee Benefits
segment, we write group life, group dental, group long-term disability and group short-term disability insurance products. Within the Assurant Solutions segment, we market, sell and issue credit life and credit disability products. Of our total
gross revenues, less net realized losses on investments, generated during 2008, approximately 92% was from the Assurant Employee Benefits segment, approximately 7% from the Assurant Solutions segment, and the remaining from the other Assurant
segments. It is possible that our sales of credit life for the Assurant Solutions segment will decline, as almost all of the largest credit card issuing institutions in the U.S. have switched from offering credit insurance to their credit card
customers to offering their own banking-approved debt protection programs. Debt protection is not an insurance product, but rather a service that is voluntarily added by customers as an addendum to a loan.

As a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Assurant, Union Security Life does not have any publicly issued equity or debt securities. We have been, however,
subject to certain filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), because we have issued certain variable and market value adjusted insurance contracts, which are required to be registered with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) as securities. Effective April 2, 2001, Assurant exited this line of business and sold the business segment, then referred to as Fortis Financial Group (FFG), to The
Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (The Hartford). This sale was accomplished by means of coinsurance and modified coinsurance. As a result, The Hartford is contractually responsible for servicing the
insurance contracts, including the payment of benefits, oversight of investment management, overall contract administration and funding of reserves. If The Hartford fails to fulfill its obligations, however, we will be obligated to perform the
services and make the required payments and funding.

After the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company will rely on the
exemption provided by recently adopted Rule 12h-7 under the Exchange Act and accordingly will not file subsequent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, or any other reports required by the
Exchange Act, with the SEC.

As of February 17, 2009, we had approximately 10 employees in our sales offices in New York, New York. In
addition, two Assurant employees, subject to a lease arrangement, spent at least a portion of their time working for us at our headquarters in Fayetteville, New York.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

Certain factors
may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and you should carefully consider them. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.

General economic, financial market and political conditions may adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions. Particularly, recent
developments in financial markets and the global economy may negatively affect our results.

General economic, financial market and
political conditions may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. These may include, among others, insurance industry cycles, fluctuations in industry rates, monetary policy, demographics, and legislative
and competitive factors. Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the declining global mortgage and real estate markets, the loss of consumer confidence and a reduction in consumer
spending have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and fears of a global recession.
This may affect our operational results in various ways, including but not limited to the following:



| |  |  | individuals and businesses (i) may choose not to purchase our insurance products, and other related products and services, (ii) may terminate existing
policies or contracts or permit them to lapse, (iii) may choose to reduce the amount of coverage purchased, or (iv) in the case of business customers of Assurant Employee Benefits, may have fewer employees requiring insurance coverage due
to reductions in their staffing levels;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | disability insurance claims and claims on other specialized insurance products tend to rise; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | clients are more likely to experience financial distress or to declare bankruptcy or liquidation, which could have a material and adverse impact on the remittance
of premiums and the collection of receivables such as unearned premiums.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the fiscal year ended on December 31,
2008, the Company recognized net realized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities totaling $3,925 after tax and reported gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity and equity securities of $8,545. If the current economic downturn continues to
negatively affect companies, industry sectors or countries, the Company may have additional investment losses and further increases in other-than-temporary impairments. As part of the Parents process, our investment portfolio is regularly
monitored to ensure investments that may be other-than-temporarily impaired are identified in a timely fashion, properly valued, and any impairments are charged against earnings in the proper period. Assessment factors include, but are not limited
to, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and rating of the issuer, whether any collateral is held, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a
period of time sufficient to allow for recovery. However, the determination that a security has incurred an other-than-temporary decline in value requires the judgment of management. Inherently, there are risks and uncertainties involved in making
these judgments. Therefore, changes in facts and circumstances and critical assumptions could also result in managements decision that further impairments have occurred.

A.M. Best, Moodys, and S&P rate the financial strength of the Company, and a decline in these ratings could affect our standing in the insurance industry and cause our sales and earnings to decrease.

Ratings are an increasingly important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies. A.M. Best,
Moodys and S&P ratings reflect their opinions of our financial strength, operating performance, strategic position and ability to meet our obligations to policyholders. These ratings are subject to periodic review by A.M. Best,
Moodys, and S&P, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain these ratings. In 2007, as a result of our Parents pending SEC investigation, A.M. Best, Moodys



3

##### Table of Contents

and S&P placed a negative outlook on our ratings. In 2008, A.M. Best downgraded our financial strength ratings and issuer credit ratings from
A to A- and from a to a-, respectively. Given recent economic developments that have negatively affected the entire insurance industry, we believe that we could be more susceptible to ratings
downgrades.

If our ratings are lowered from their current levels by A.M. Best, Moodys, or S&P, our competitive position in the
respective insurance industry segments could be negatively impacted and it could be more difficult for us to market our products. Rating agencies may take action to lower our ratings in the future due to, among other things, perceived concerns about
our liquidity or solvency, the competitive environment in the insurance industry, which may adversely affect our revenues, the inherent uncertainty in determining reserves for future claims, which may cause us to increase our reserves for claims,
the outcome of pending litigation and regulatory investigations, which may adversely affect our financial position and reputation and possible changes in the methodology or criteria applied by the rating agencies. In addition, rating agencies have
come under recent scrutiny over their ratings on various mortgage-backed products. As a result, they may have become more conservative in their methodology and criteria, which could adversely affect our ratings. Finally, rating agencies or
regulators could increase capital requirements for the Company or its subsidiaries, which in turn could negatively affect our financial position as well.

As customers and their advisors place importance on our financial strength ratings, we may lose customers and compete less successfully if we are downgraded. In addition, ratings impact our ability to attract
investment capital on favorable terms. If our financial strength ratings are reduced from their current levels by A.M. Best, Moodys, or S&P, our cost of borrowing would likely increase, our sales and earnings could decrease and our results
of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

As of December 31, 2008, contracts representing
approximately 19% of the Companys net earned premiums contain provisions requiring the Company to maintain minimum A.M. Best financial strength ratings of A- or better. The Companys clients may terminate the agreements and in
some instances recapture inforce business if the Companys ratings fall below A-.

Our earnings could be materially affected by an
impairment of goodwill.

If we experience a decline in our results of operations and cash flows, or other indicators of impairment
exist, we may incur a material non-cash charge to earnings relating to impairment of our goodwill, which could have a material adverse effect on our results.

Union Security Life is also subject to additional risks associated with our business. These risks include, among others:



| |  |  | Reliance on Relationships with Significant Clients, Distributors and Other Parties. If our significant clients, distributors and other parties with
which we do business decline to renew or seek to terminate our relationships or contractual arrangements, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We are also subject to the risk that these parties
may face financial difficulties, reputational issues or problems with respect to their own products and services, which may lead to decreased sales of products and services.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to Attract and Retain Sales Representatives or Develop and Maintain Distribution Sources. Our sales representatives interface with clients and
third party distributors. Our inability to attract and retain our sales representatives or an interruption in, or changes to, our relationships with various third-party distributors could impair our ability to compete and market our insurance
products and services and materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our ability to market our products and services depends on our ability to tailor our channels of distribution to comply with
changes in the regulatory environment.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Failure to Accurately Predict Benefits and Other Costs and Claims. We may be unable to accurately predict benefits, claims and other costs or to
manage such costs through our loss limitation methods, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if claims substantially exceed our expectations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Changes in Regulation. Legislation or other regulatory reform that increases the regulatory requirements imposed on us or that changes the way we are
able to do business may significantly harm our business or results of operations in the future.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Reinsurers Failure to Fulfill Obligations. In the past, we have sold, and in the future we may sell, businesses through reinsurance ceded to
third parties. For example, in 2001 we sold the insurance operations of our FFG division to The Hartford and in 2000 we sold our Long Term Care (LTC) division to John Hancock Life Insurance Company (John Hancock), now a
subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation. Most of the general account assets backing reserves coinsured under these sales are held in trusts or separate accounts. However, if the reinsurers became insolvent, we would be exposed to the risk that
the assets in the trust and for the separate accounts would be insufficient to support the liabilities that would revert to us.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Similarly, we are also dependent on the financial condition of our reinsurers as it affects their ability to fund the trusts. The A.M. Best ratings of The Hartford and John Hancock are currently A+ and A++,
respectively. However, A.M. Best recently placed a negative outlook on the issuer credit ratings and financial strength ratings of each of The Hartford and John Hancock.

We also have the risk of becoming responsible for administering these businesses in the event of reinsurer insolvency. We do not currently
have the administrative systems and capabilities to process this business. Accordingly, we would need to obtain those capabilities in the event of an insolvency of one or more of the reinsurers of these businesses. We might be forced to obtain such
capabilities on unfavorable terms with a resulting material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.



| |  |  | Risks related to litigation and regulatory actions.From time to time we may be involved in various regulatory investigations and examinations
relating to our insurance and other related business operations. We are subject to comprehensive regulation and oversight by insurance departments in jurisdictions in which we do business. These insurance departments have broad administrative powers
with respect to all aspects of the insurance business and, in particular, monitor the manner in which an insurance company offers, sells and administers its products. Therefore, we may from time to time be subject to a variety of legal and
regulatory actions relating to our current and past business operations and practices.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prevalence and
outcomes of any such actions cannot be predicted, and no assurances can be given that such actions or any litigation would not materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we were to experience
difficulties with our relationship with a regulatory body in a given jurisdiction, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to do business in that jurisdiction.

One particular area of focus which has affected our parent, Assurant, has been the accounting treatment for finite reinsurance or other
non-traditional or loss mitigation insurance products. For specific details, please see the Risk Factor entitled Our business is subject to risks related to litigation and regulatory actions in our parents Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which we incorporate by reference herein. Some state regulators have made routine inquiries to some of Assurants insurers regarding finite reinsurance. We depend on our parent, Assurant, for certain administrative,
strategic and operational support. We cannot predict at this time the effect that current litigation, investigations and regulatory activity will have on Assurant or our business, but any adverse outcome could have a material adverse affect on our
business, results of operations or financial condition.

For additional risks that relate to our business and additional detail on the risks outlined
above, we incorporate by reference the Risk Factors in Assurants Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and available on Assurants website at www.assurant.com.

##### Table of Contents

The following discussion provides a general overall analysis of the consolidated results for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2008 (Twelve Months 2008) and twelve months ended December 31, 2007 (Twelve Months 2007). Please see the discussion that follows for a more detailed analysis of the fluctuations.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007

Net Income

Net income decreased $1,278, or 17%, to
$6,382 for Twelve Months 2008 from $7,660 for Twelve Months 2007. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in net realized losses on investments driven by the write-down of other-than-temporary impairments of $3,311 (after-tax) in
2008 compared to $417 (after-tax) in 2007. This was partially offset by favorable experience in the disability business in 2008 compared to 2007.

Total
Revenues

Total revenues decreased $933, or 1%, to $68,414 for Twelve Months 2008 from $69,347 for Twelve Months 2007. This decrease was
primarily due to the write-down of other-than-temporary impairments in our investment portfolio of $5,094 in 2008 compared to $641 in 2007 and the continued decline of our domestic credit business. This was partially offset by an increase in assumed
single premiums on closed blocks of business, net of reinsurance, to $9,250 in 2008 from $4,059 in 2007.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses increased $487, or 1%, to $58,217 for Twelve Months 2008 from $57,730 for Twelve Months 2007. This
increase was primarily due to assumed single premiums on closed blocks of business, net of reinsurance, as $9,250 was recorded in 2008 compared to $4,059 in 2007, and a $900 fine from the New York Department of Insurance related to a recent
financial and market conduct exam. This was partially offset by favorable experience in the disability business in 2008 compared to 2007.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $142, or 4%, to $3,815 for Twelve Months 2008 from $3,957 for Twelve Months 2007. The change in income taxes was
not proportionate to pretax income primarily due a permanent tax difference related to a fine assessed by the New York Department of Insurance related to a recent financial and market conduct exam and a valuation allowance against deferred tax
assets, which is primarily attributable to capital losses resulting from dispositions of investments.

As a provider of insurance products, effective risk management is fundamental to our ability to protect both our customers and our stockholders interests. We are exposed to potential loss from various
market risks, in particular interest rate risk, credit risk and inflation risk.

Interest rate risk is the possibility that the fair value
of liabilities will change more or less than the market value of investments in response to changes in interest rates, including changes in the slope or shape of the yield curve and changes in spreads due to credit risks and other factors.

Credit risk is the possibility that counterparties may not be able to meet payment obligations when they become due. We assume
counterparty credit risk in many forms. A counterparty is any person or

entity from which cash or other forms of consideration are expected to extinguish a liability or obligation to us. Primarily, our credit risk exposure is
concentrated in our fixed income securities portfolio and, to a lesser extent, in our reinsurance recoverables.

Inflation risk is the
possibility that a change in domestic price levels produces an adverse effect on earnings. This typically happens when only one of invested assets or liabilities is indexed to inflation.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises as we invest substantial funds in
interest-sensitive fixed income assets, such as fixed maturity investments, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage loans. There are two forms of interest rate riskprice risk and reinvestment risk. Price risk occurs
when fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on the market valuation of these investments. As interest rates rise, the market value of these investments falls, and conversely, as interest rates fall, the market value of these investments
rises. Reinvestment risk occurs when fluctuations in interest rates have a direct impact on expected cash flows from mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. As interest rates fall, an increase in prepayments on these assets results in earlier
than expected receipt of cash flows forcing us to reinvest the proceeds in an unfavorable lower interest rate environment. Conversely as interest rates rise, a decrease in prepayments on these assets results in later than expected receipt of cash
flows forcing us to forgo reinvesting in a favorable higher interest rate environment. As of December 31, 2008, we held $91,618 of fixed maturity securities at fair market value and $28,396 of commercial mortgages at amortized cost for a
combined total of 89% of total invested assets. As of December 31, 2007, we held $104,156 of fixed maturity securities at fair market value and $30,746 of commercial mortgages at amortized cost for a combined total of 93% of total invested
assets.

We expect to manage interest rate risk by selecting investments with characteristics such as duration, yield, currency and
liquidity tailored to the anticipated cash outflow characteristics of our insurance and reinsurance liabilities.

Our group long term
disability reserves are also sensitive to interest rates. Group long-term disability and group term life waiver of premium reserves are discounted to the valuation date at the valuation interest rate. The valuation interest rate is determined by
taking into consideration actual and expected earned rates on our asset portfolio.

The interest rate sensitivity relating to price risk of
our fixed maturity security assets is assessed using hypothetical scenarios that assume several positive and negative parallel shifts of the yield curves. We have assumed that the United States and Canadian yield curve shifts are of equal direction
and magnitude. The individual securities are repriced under each scenario using a valuation model. For investments such as callable bonds and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, a prepayment model was used in conjunction with a valuation
model. Our actual experience may differ from the results noted below particularly due to assumptions utilized or if events occur that were not included in the methodology. The following table summarizes the results of this analysis for bonds,
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities held in our investment portfolio:

Credit Risk

We have exposure to credit risk primarily from our customers, as a holder of fixed income securities and by entering into reinsurance cessions.

Our risk management strategy and investment policy is to invest in debt instruments of high credit quality issuers and to limit the amount of credit
exposure with respect to any one issuer. We attempt to limit our credit exposure by imposing fixed maturity portfolio limits on individual issuers based upon credit quality. Currently our portfolio limits are 1.5% for issuers rated AA-and above, 1%
for issuers rated A- to A+, 0.75% for issuers rated BBB- to BBB+ and 0.38% for issuers rated BB- to BB+. These portfolio limits are further reduced for certain issuers with whom we have credit exposure on reinsurance agreements. We use the lower of
Moodys or Standard & Poors ratings to determine an issuers rating.

We are also exposed to the credit risk of
our reinsurers. When we reinsure, we are still liable to our insureds regardless of whether we get reimbursed by our reinsurer. As part of our overall risk and capacity management strategy, we purchase reinsurance for certain risks that we
underwrite.

For at least 50% of our $109,131 of reinsurance recoverables at December 31, 2008, we are protected from the credit risk by
using various types of risk mitigation mechanisms such as trusts, letters of credit or by withholding the assets in a modified coinsurance or co-funds-withheld arrangement. For example, reserves of $59,063 as of December 31, 2008 relating to a large
coinsurance arrangement with John Hancock related to a sale of business are held in trusts. If the value of the assets in these trusts falls below the value of the associated liabilities, John Hancock, as the case may be, will be required to put
more assets in the trusts. We may be dependent on the financial condition of John Hancock, whose A.M. Best rating is currently A++. However, A.M. Best recently placed a negative outlook on the issuer credit and financial strength ratings of John
Hancock. For recoverables that are not protected by these mechanisms, we are dependent solely on the credit of the reinsurer. Occasionally, the credit worthiness of the reinsurer becomes questionable. See Item 1ARisk
FactorsReinsurers Failure to Fulfill Obligations for further information. A majority of our reinsurance exposure has been ceded to companies rated A- or better by A.M. Best.

Inflation Risk

Inflation risk arises as we
invest substantial funds in nominal assets which are not indexed to the level of inflation, whereas the underlying liabilities are indexed to the level of inflation. We have inflation risk in our individual and small employer group health insurance
businesses to the extent that medical costs increase with inflation and we have not been able to increase premiums to keep pace with inflation.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we
have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of that date in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods in
SEC rules and forms. Further, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act .

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that
in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Companys management assessed its internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 using criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Management, including the Companys chief executive officer and its chief financial officer, based on their evaluation of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)), have concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys fourth fiscal
quarter in 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of

Union Security Life Insurance
Company of New York:

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York (the Company), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Assurant, Inc. at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), 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.

|1. | Nature of Operations
|-- | --------------------

Union Security Life Insurance
Company of New York (the Company) is a provider of life insurance products including group disability insurance, group dental insurance, group life insurance and credit insurance. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Assurant,
Inc. (the Parent). The Parents common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AIZ.

The Company
is domiciled in New York and is qualified to sell life, health and annuity insurance in the state of New York.



|2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Amounts are presented in United States of America (U.S.) dollars and all amounts are in thousands, except for number of shares.

Use of Estimates

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. The items on the Companys balance sheet affected by the use of
estimates include, but are not limited to, investments, premiums and accounts receivable, reinsurance recoverables, deferred acquisition costs (DAC), deferred income taxes and associated valuation allowances, goodwill, future policy
benefits and expenses, unearned premiums, claims and benefits payable, deferred gain on disposal of businesses, and commitments and contingencies. The estimates are sensitive to market conditions, investment yields, mortality, morbidity, commissions
and other acquisition expenses, policyholder behavior and other factors. Actual results could differ from the estimates reported. The Company believes the amounts reported are reasonable and adequate.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of net income and net unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale, less deferred income taxes.

Reclassifications

Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when realized or realizable and earned. Revenue generally is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of
an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Fair Value

The Company uses an exit price for its fair value measurements. An exit price is defined as the amount received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In measuring fair value, the Company gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest
priority to unobservable inputs.

Investments

Fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities (FAS 115), and reported at fair value. If the fair value is higher than the amortized cost for fixed maturity securities or the purchase cost for equity securities, the excess is an unrealized gain; and, if lower than
cost, the difference is an unrealized loss. The net unrealized gains and losses, less deferred income taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.

Commercial mortgage loans on real estate are reported at unpaid balances, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount, less allowance for losses.
The allowance is based on managements analysis of factors including actual loan loss experience, specific events based on geographical, political or economic conditions, industry experience and individually impaired loan loss analysis. A loan
is considered individually impaired when it becomes probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest. Changes in the allowance for loan losses are recorded in net realized (losses) gains on
investments.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, which do not exceed the cash surrender value of the underlying
policies.

Short-term investments include all investment cash and short maturity investments. These amounts are reported at cost, which
approximates fair value.

Other investments consist primarily of investments in certified capital companies (CAPCOs). The
Companys CAPCOs consist of debt instruments that are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

The Company monitors
its investment portfolio to identify investments that may be other than temporarily impaired. In addition, securities whose market price is equal to 80% or less of their original purchase price or which had a discrete credit event resulting in the
debtor defaulting or seeking bankruptcy protection are added to a potential write-down list, which is discussed at quarterly meetings attended by members of the Companys investment, accounting and finance departments. Any security whose price
decrease is deemed other-than-temporary is written down to its then current market level with the amount of the write-down reported as a realized loss in that period. Assessment factors include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the
extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and rating of the issuer, whether any collateral is held and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow
for recovery. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized on the specific identification basis.

Investment income is recorded as earned net of investment expenses. The interest method is used to
recognize interest income on commercial mortgage loans.

The Company anticipates prepayments of principal in the calculation of the
effective yield for mortgage-backed securities and structured securities. The retrospective method is used to adjust the effective yield.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash on hand, all operating cash and working capital cash to be cash
equivalents. These amounts are carried principally at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash balances are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine if negative cash balances exist. If negative cash balances do exist, the cash
accounts are netted with other positive cash accounts of the same bank providing the right of offset exists between the accounts. If the right of offset does not exist, the negative cash balances are reclassified to accounts payable.

Receivables

The Company
records a receivable when revenue has been recognized but the cash has not been collected. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for probable losses resulting from the inability to collect payments.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance
recoverables include amounts related to paid benefits and estimated amounts related to unpaid policy and contract claims, future policyholder benefits and policyholder contract deposits. The cost of reinsurance is recognized over the terms of the
underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the policies. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with claim and claim adjustment expense reserves or future policy
benefits reserves and are reported in the Companys balance sheets. The cost of reinsurance related to long-duration contracts is recognized over the life of the underlying reinsured policies. The ceding of insurance does not discharge the
Companys primary liability to insureds. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, if necessary, on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers, reinsurer solvency, managements experience and current economic
conditions.

Reinsurance balances payable include amounts related to ceded premiums and estimated amounts related to assumed paid or
incurred losses, which are reported based upon ceding entities estimations.

Funds held under reinsurance represent amounts
contractually held from assuming companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements.

Reinsurance premiums assumed are calculated based
upon payments received from ceding companies together with accrual estimates, which are based on both payments received and in force policy information received from ceding companies. Any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded
in the period in which they are determined.

Income Taxes

The Company reports its taxable income in a consolidated federal income tax return along with other affiliated subsidiaries of the Parent. Income tax
expense or credit is allocated among the affiliated subsidiaries by applying corporate income tax rates to taxable income or loss determined on a separate return basis according to a tax allocation agreement.

Current federal income taxes are charged to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for
the current year. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which
we expect the temporary differences to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an amount will not be realized.

The Company classifies net interest expense related to income tax matters and any applicable penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

The costs of acquiring new business that vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business are deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable from future premiums or gross profits. Acquisition costs
primarily consist of commissions, policy issuance expenses, premium taxes and certain direct marketing expenses.

Premium deficiency
testing is performed annually and generally reviewed quarterly. Such testing involves the use of best estimate assumptions including the anticipation of interest income to determine if anticipated future policy premiums are adequate to recover all
DAC and related claims, benefits and expenses. To the extent a premium deficiency exists, it is recognized immediately by a charge to the statement of operations and a corresponding reduction in DAC. If the premium deficiency is greater than
unamortized DAC, a liability will be accrued for the excess deficiency.

Long Duration Contracts

Acquisition costs on the Fortis Financial Group (FFG) and Long-Term Care (LTC) disposed businesses were written off when the
businesses were sold.

Short Duration Contracts

Acquisition costs relating to monthly pay credit insurance business consist mainly of direct marketing costs and are deferred and amortized over the estimated average terms and balances of the underlying contracts.

Acquisition costs relating to group term life, group disability and group dental consist primarily of compensation to sales
representatives. These acquisition costs are front-end loaded; thus, they are deferred and amortized over the estimated terms of the underlying contracts.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives
with a maximum of 7 years for furniture and a maximum of 5 years for equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life
of the asset.

Property and equipment also includes capitalized software costs, which represent costs directly related to obtaining,
developing or upgrading internal use software. Such costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the net fair value of
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life and is not amortized, but rather is tested at least annually for impairment. We review our goodwill annually in the fourth
quarter for impairment, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. We regularly assess whether any indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators include, but are not limited to: a significant decline in our expected future cash flows
due to changes in company-specific factors or the broader business climate. The evaluation of such factors requires considerable management judgment.

The goodwill impairment test has two steps. The Company first compares its fair value with its net book value. If the fair value exceeds its net book value, goodwill is deemed not to be impaired, and no further
testing is necessary. If the net book value exceeds its fair value, we would perform a second test to measure the amount of impairment if any. To determine the amount of any impairment, we would determine the implied fair value of goodwill in the
same manner as if the Company were being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, we would determine the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the Company, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical
calculation that would yield the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill were less than the recorded goodwill, we would record an impairment charge for the difference.

In the fourth quarters of 2008 and 2007, we conducted our annual assessments of goodwill. Based on the results of the assessment, the Company concluded
that its fair value exceeded net book value and therefore goodwill was not impaired.

Other Assets

Other assets primarily include prepaid items and intangible assets. Intangible assets that have finite lives, including but not limited to, customer
relationships, customer contracts and other intangible assets, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives, primarily certain state licenses, are not amortized and are subject to annual
impairment tests. Impairment exists if the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. For other intangible assets subject to amortization, impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and
exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset. There were no impairments of finite-lived or indefinite-lived intangible assets in either 2008 or 2007.

Separate Accounts

Assets and liabilities associated with separate accounts relate to premium and annuity considerations for variable life and annuity products for which the
contract-holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account assets (with matching liabilities) are reported at fair value. Revenues and expenses related to the separate account assets and liabilities, to the extent of
benefits paid or provided to the separate account policyholders, are excluded from the amounts reported in the accompanying statements of operations because they are administered by the reinsurers.

Prior to April 2, 2001, FFG had issued variable insurance products registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933. These products
featured fixed premiums, a minimum death benefit, and policyholder returns linked to an underlying portfolio of securities. The variable insurance products issued by FFG have been 100% reinsured with The Hartford.

Reserves

Reserves are
established in accordance with GAAP, using generally accepted actuarial methods and are based on a number of factors. These factors include experience derived from historical claim payments and actuarial assumptions. Such assumptions and other
factors include trends, the incidence of incurred claims, the extent to which all claims have been reported, and internal claims processing charges. The process used in computing reserves cannot be exact, particularly for liability coverages, since
actual claim costs are dependent upon such complex factors as inflation, changes in doctrines of legal liabilities and damage awards. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the related liabilities are periodically reviewed and
updated.

Reserves do not represent an exact calculation of exposure, but instead represent our best estimates, generally involving
actuarial projections at a given time, of what we expect the ultimate settlement and administration of a claim or group of claims will cost based on our assessment of facts and circumstances then known. The adequacy of reserves will be impacted by
future trends in claims severity, frequency, judicial theories of liability and other factors. These variables are affected by both external and internal events, such as: changes in the economic cycle, changes in the social perception of the value
of work, emerging medical perceptions regarding physiological or psychological causes of disability, emerging health issues and new methods of treatment or accommodation, inflation, judicial trends, legislative changes and claims handling
procedures.

Many of these items are not directly quantifiable, particularly on a prospective basis. Reserve estimates are refined as
experience develops. Adjustments to reserves, both positive and negative, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period in which such estimates are updated. Because establishment of reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving
estimates of future losses, there can be no certainty that ultimate losses will not exceed existing claims reserves. Future loss development could require reserves to be increased, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings in the
periods in which such increases are made. However, based on information currently available, we believe that our reserves estimates are adequate.

Long Duration Contracts

The Companys long duration contracts are comprised of traditional life insurance policies no
longer offered and FFG and LTC disposed businesses. Future policy benefits and expense reserves on

LTC, life insurance policies and annuity contracts that are no longer offered and the traditional life insurance contracts within FFG are reported at the
present value of future benefits to be paid to policyholders and related expenses less the present value of the future net premiums. These amounts are estimated and include assumptions as to the expected investment yield, inflation, mortality,
morbidity and withdrawal rates as well as other assumptions that are based on the Companys experience. These assumptions reflect anticipated trends and include provisions for possible unfavorable deviations.

Future policy benefits and expense reserves for universal life insurance policies and investment-type annuity contracts no longer offered, and the
variable life insurance and investment-type annuity contracts in the Company consist of policy account balances before applicable surrender charges and certain deferred policy initiation fees that are being recognized in income over the terms of the
policies. Policy benefits charged to expense during the period include amounts paid in excess of policy account balances and interest credited to policy account balances.

Changes in the estimated liabilities are reported as a charge or credit to policyholder benefits as the estimates are revised.

Short Duration Contracts

The Companys short duration contracts are comprised of group term
life contracts, group disability contracts, medical contracts, dental contracts and credit life business. For short duration contracts, claims and benefits payable reserves are recorded when insured events occur. The liability is based on the
expected ultimate cost of settling the claims. The claims and benefits payable reserves include (1) case reserves for known but unpaid claims as of the balance sheet date; (2) incurred but not reported (IBNR) reserves for
claims where the insured event has occurred but has not been reported to the Company as of the balance sheet date; and (3) loss adjustment expense reserves for the expected handling costs of settling the claims.

For group disability, the case and the IBNR reserves are recorded at an amount equal to the net present value of the expected future claims payments.
Group long-term disability and group term life waiver of premiums reserves are discounted to the valuation date at the valuation interest rate. The valuation interest rate is reviewed quarterly by taking into consideration actual and expected earned
rates on our asset portfolio. Group long term disability and group term life reserve adequacy studies are performed annually, and morbidity and mortality assumptions are adjusted where appropriate.

Changes in the estimated liabilities are recorded as a charge or credit to policyholder benefits as estimates are revised.

Deferred Gain on Disposal of Businesses

The Company recorded a deferred gain on disposal of businesses utilizing reinsurance. On March 1, 2000, the Parent sold its LTC business using a coinsurance contract. On April 2, 2001, the Parent sold its
FFG business using a modified coinsurance contract. Since the form of sale did not discharge the Companys primary liability to the insureds, the gain on these disposals was deferred and reported as a liability. The liability is decreased and
recognized as revenue over the estimated life of the contracts terms. The Company reviews and evaluates the estimates affecting the deferred gain on disposal of businesses annually or when significant information affecting the estimates
becomes known to the Company.

Premiums

Long Duration Contracts

Premiums for LTC insurance and traditional life insurance contracts within
FFG are recognized and reported as revenue when due from the policyholder. For universal life insurance and investment-type annuity contracts within FFG, revenues consist of charges assessed against policy balances. For the FFG and LTC businesses
previously sold, all revenue is ceded.

Short Duration Contracts

The Companys short duration contracts are those on which the Company recognizes revenue on a pro-rata basis over the contract term. The
Companys short duration contracts primarily include group term life, group disability, dental, and credit life and disability.

Fee and Other Income

The Company derives fee and other income primarily from providing administrative services. Fee
income is recognized when services are performed.

Underwriting, General and Administrative Expenses

Underwriting, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of commissions, premium taxes, licenses, fees, salaries and personnel benefits and
other general operating expenses.

Leases

The Company records expenses for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Contingencies

The Company follows FAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (FAS 5). This
requires the Company to evaluate each contingent matter separately. A loss contingency is recorded if reasonably estimable and probable. The Company establishes reserves for these contingencies at the best estimate, or if no one estimated number
within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of the estimated range. Contingencies affecting the Company primarily relate to litigation matters which are inherently
difficult to evaluate and are subject to significant changes. The Company believes the contingent amounts recorded are adequate and reasonable.

Recent Accounting PronouncementsAdopted

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157) which defines fair value, addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition
or disclosure purposes under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is applied prospectively for financial assets and liabilities measured on a

recurring basis as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Effective September 30, 2008, the Company adopted Financial Statement of Position (FSP) FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active (FSP FAS 157-3). FSP FAS 157-3
clarifies the application of FAS 157 regarding the pricing of securities in an inactive market. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. See Note 4 for further
information regarding FAS 157.

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities(FAS 159). FAS 159 provides a choice to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on specified election dates and requires disclosures about the election of the fair
value option. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any financial or non-financial instruments as of the adoption
date, thus the adoption of FAS 159 did not have an impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

On January 1,
2007, the Company adopted Statement of Position No. 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection with Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts, (SOP 05-1). SOP 05-1 provides
guidance on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts. An internal replacement is a modification in product benefits, features, rights or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract or by amendment,
endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. Modifications that result in a new contract that is substantially different from the replaced contract are accounted for as an extinguishment of the
replaced contract, and the associated unamortized DAC, unearned revenue liabilities and deferred sales inducements from the replaced contract must be reported as an expense immediately. Modifications resulting in a new contract that is substantially
the same as the replaced contract are accounted for as a continuation of the replaced contract. Prior to the adoption of the SOP 05-1, certain internal replacements were accounted for as continuations of the replaced contract Therefore, the
accounting policy for certain internal replacements has changed as a result of the adoption of this SOP. At adoption, the Company recognized a $225 decrease to deferred acquisition costs, which was accounted for as a $146 (after-tax) reduction to
the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(FAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (FAS 155). This statement resolves issues addressed in FAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1,
Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets. FAS 155 (a) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation; (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FAS 133; (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that
are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (e)
eliminates restrictions on a qualifying special-purpose entitys ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument. FAS 155 also requires
presentation within the financial statements that identifies those hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value election has been applied and information on the statement of operations impact of the changes in fair value of those
instruments. The adoption of FAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

On
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Statements Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48). There was no impact as a result of adoption on the Companys January 1, 2007 retained earnings. See Note 5 for further information regarding the adoption of FIN 48.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Not Yet Adopted

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued FAS No. 141R, Business Combinations(FAS 141R). FAS 141R replaces FAS No. 141, Business Combinations(FAS 141).FAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in
FAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations, that an acquirer be identified for each business combination and for goodwill to be recognized and measured as a residual. FAS 141R expands the definition of
transactions and events that qualify as business combinations to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. FAS 141R broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. FAS 141R also increases the disclosure requirements for business combinations in the financial statements. FAS 141R is effective for fiscal periods
beginning after December 15, 2008. Therefore, the Company is required to adopt FAS 141R on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 141R will not have an impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. However, any
business combinations entered into beginning in 2009 may significantly impact our financial position and results of operations compared with how it would have been recorded under FAS 141. Earnings volatility could result, depending on the terms of
acquisition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statementsan
Amendment of ARB No. 51(FAS 160). FAS 160 requires that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary be separately reported within equity and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the non-controlling interest be
presented in the statement of operations. FAS 160 also calls for consistency in reporting changes in the parents ownership interest in a subsidiary and necessitates fair value measurement of any non-controlling equity investment retained in a
deconsolidation. FAS 160 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Therefore, the Company is required to adopt FAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FAS 160 will not have an impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FAS 157 (FSP
FAS 157-2). FSP FAS 157-2 deferred the effective date of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,

and interim periods within those fiscal years, which for the Company is January 1, 2009. The Company will apply the requirements of FAS 157 to its
non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis which include goodwill and intangible assets. The Company does not currently have any non-financial liabilities which are required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis. In a business combination, the Company would initially measure at fair value the non-financial assets and liabilities of the acquired company. The requirements of FAS 157 include using an exit price based on an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date assuming the highest and best use of the asset by market participants. The Company will use a market, income or cost approach valuation technique to perform the valuations. Since the Company performs its
scheduled impairment analyses of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each year, the adoption of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis will not have
an impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations upon adoption. However, there may be an impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations when the Company performs its impairment analyses of
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets due to the difference in fair value methodology required under FAS 157.

No material investments of the Company were non-income producing for the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Over the last six months of 2007 and during 2008 the fixed maturity security and equity security
markets have experienced significant volatility. This volatility has primarily been due to declines in the housing market, credit availability, as well as a general economic slowdown. As a result, certain securities directly exposed to these factors
have had significant market value declines.

In connection with this volatility, we recorded net realized losses, including
other-than-temporary impairments, in the statement of operations as follows:

and $419 were realized on dispositions in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For securities sold at a loss during 2008, the average period of time these
securities were trading continuously below book value was approximately 9 months.

We regularly monitor our investment portfolio to ensure
investments that may be other-than-temporarily impaired are identified in a timely fashion, properly valued, and any impairments are charged against earnings in the proper period. The determination that a security has incurred an
other-than-temporary decline in value requires the judgment of management. Assessment factors include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and rating of
the issuer, whether any collateral is held, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery. Inherently, there are risks and uncertainties involved in making these judgments.
Changes in circumstances and critical assumptions such as a continued weak economy, a more pronounced economic downturn or unforeseen events which affect one or more companies, industry sectors, or countries could result in additional impairments in
the future periods for other-than-temporary declines in value. Any security whose price decrease is deemed other-than-temporary is written down to its then current market level with the amount of the impairment reported as a realized loss in that
period. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized on the specific identification basis.

The investment category and
duration of the Companys gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities and equity securities at December 31, 2008 were as follows:

The total unrealized losses represent less than 16% and 8% of the aggregate fair value of the
related securities at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Approximately 63% and 77% of these unrealized losses have been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total unrealized losses
are comprised of 249 and 183 individual securities in 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008, 34%, 20% and 9% of the unrealized losses for fixed maturity and equity securities were concentrated in the financial, consumer cyclical and
energy industries, respectively with no exposure to any single creditor in excess of 14%, 21% and 16%, of those industries respectively.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately 1% and 10% of the mortgage-backed securities had
exposure to sub-prime mortgage collateral. This represented approximately 0.18% and 1.56% of the total fixed maturity portfolio and zero and 14.46% of the total unrealized loss position at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There is one
security with sub-prime exposure, which is below investment grade. We have no sub-prime exposure to collateralized debt obligations as of December 31, 2008 or 2007. All mortgage-backed securities, including those with sub-prime exposure, are
reviewed as part of the ongoing other-than-temporary impairment monitoring process.

The Company has made commercial mortgage loans,
collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the U.S. At December 31, 2008, approximately 49% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California,
Texas, and New York. Although the company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downtown could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from
$435 to $2,700 at December 31, 2008 and from $443 to $2,750 at December 31, 2007. The mortgage loan valuation allowance for losses was $103 and $70 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

At December 31, 2008 there were no loan commitments outstanding.

The Company has short term investments and fixed maturity securities carried at $593 and $483 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, on deposit with various governmental authorities as required by law.

|4. | Fair Value Disclosures
|-- | ----------------------

FAS 157 Disclosures

FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, creates a fair value hierarchy based on the quality
of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with FAS 157, the Company has categorized its recurring basis financial assets and liabilities based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair
value hierarchy. The FASB has deferred the effective date of FAS 157 until January 1, 2009 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis in
accordance with FSP FAS 157-2.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair
value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy and its application to the Companys financial assets and liabilities are described below:



| |  |  | Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Financial assets
and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include certain U.S. mutual funds, money market funds, common stock and certain foreign securities.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full
term of the asset. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for
the asset. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset. Financial assets utilizing Level 2 inputs include corporate, municipal, foreign government and public utilities bonds, private placement bonds,
U.S. Government and agency securities, mortgage and asset backed securities, preferred stocks and certain U.S. and foreign mutual funds.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset, and include situations where there is little, if any, market
activity for the asset. These inputs reflect managements own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset. Financial assets utilizing Level 3 inputs include certain preferred stocks, corporate bonds and
mortgage-backed securities that were quoted by brokers and could not be corroborated by Level 2 inputs.

FAS 157 describes three different valuation techniques to be used in determining fair value for
financial assets and liabilities: the market, income or cost approaches. The three valuation techniques described in FAS 157 are consistent with generally accepted valuation methodologies. The market approach valuation techniques use prices and
other relevant information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. When possible, quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets are used as of the period-end date. Otherwise, valuation techniques consistent
with the market approach including matrix pricing and comparables are used. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique employed to value certain securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for those securities but comparing those
securities to benchmark or comparable securities. Comparables use market multiples, which might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable.

Income approach valuation techniques convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a
single present amount, or a discounted amount. These techniques rely on current market expectations of future amounts as of the period-end date. Examples of income approach valuation techniques include present value techniques, option-pricing
models, binomial or lattice models that incorporate present value techniques, and the multi-period excess earnings method.

Cost approach
valuation techniques are based upon the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset at the period-end date, or the current replacement cost. That is, from the perspective of a market participant (seller), the price that
would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a market participant (buyer) to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

While all three approaches are not applicable to all financial assets or liabilities, where appropriate, one or more valuation techniques may be used.
For all the financial assets and liabilities included in the above hierarchy, excluding private placement bonds, the market valuation technique is generally used. For private placement bonds, the income valuation technique is generally used. For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the application of valuation technique applied to similar assets and liabilities has been consistent.

Level 1 and Level 2 securities are valued using various observable market inputs obtained from a pricing service. The pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for our Level 2 securities using proprietary valuation
models based on techniques such as matrix pricing which include observable market inputs. FAS 157 defines observable market inputs as the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed on market data obtained
from sources independent of the Company. The extent of the use of each observable market input for a security depends on the type of security and the market conditions at the balance sheet date. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of
observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs may be necessary. The following observable market inputs, listed in the approximate order of priority, are utilized in the pricing
evaluation of Level 2 securities: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. The pricing service also evaluates each security based on relevant
market information including: relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. Valuation models can change period to period, depending on the appropriate observable inputs that are available at the balance sheet date to price
a security. When market observable inputs are unavailable, the remaining unpriced securities are submitted to independent brokers who provide non-binding broker quotes or are priced by other qualified sources and are categorized as Level 3
securities.

Management uses the following criteria in order to determine that the market for a financial asset is inactive:



| |  |  | The volume and level of trading activity in the asset have declined significantly from historical levels,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The available prices vary significantly over time or among market participants,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The prices are stale (i.e., not current), and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

| |  |  | The magnitude of bid-ask spread.

Illiquidity did not have a material impact in the fair value determination of the Companys financial assets.

The Company
generally obtains one price for each financial asset. The Company performs a monthly analysis to assess if the evaluated prices represent a reasonable estimate of their fair value. This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is
overseen by investment and accounting professionals. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and on-going review of pricing service methodologies, review of the prices received from the pricing service, review of
pricing statistics and trends, and comparison of prices for certain securities with two different appropriate price sources for reasonableness. As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon
available market data, which happens infrequently, the price of a security is adjusted accordingly. The pricing service provides information to indicate which securities were priced using market observable inputs so that the Company can properly
categorize our financial assets in the fair value hierarchy.

FAS 107 Disclosures

FAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (FAS 107) requires disclosure of fair value information about
financial instruments, as defined therein, for which it is practicable to estimate such fair value. Therefore, it requires fair value disclosure for additional financial instruments as compared to FAS 157, including financial instruments that are
not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. However, FAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments including those related to insurance contracts.

Please refer to the FAS 157 disclosure above for the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value for the following line items:



| |  |  | Fixed maturity securities
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Equity securities
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | Short-term investments
| | - |  | ----------------------



| |  |  | Other assets
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | Other liabilities
| | - |  | -----------------

In estimating the
fair value of the financial instruments presented, the Company used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash
equivalents: the carrying amount reported approximates fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.

Commercial
mortgage loans and policy loans: the fair values of mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Mortgage loans with
similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts of policy loans reported in the balance sheets approximate fair value.

Other investments:the carrying amounts of other investments approximate fair value.

Policy reserves under investment products:the fair values for the Companys policy reserves under the investment products are
determined using discounted cash flow analysis.

Separate account assets and liabilities:separate account assets and liabilities
are reported at their estimated fair values, which are primarily based on quoted market prices.

Funds held under reinsurance: the
carrying amount reported approximates fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments.

The fair value of the Companys liabilities for insurance contracts other than
investment-type contracts are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Companys overall management of interest rate risk, such that the
Companys exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

During 2008 the Company recognized income tax expense of $253 to establish a partial valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets, which are primarily attributable to a capital losses resulting from dispositions of investments. The calculation of the valuation allowance is made at the consolidated return group level. A portion of the
valuation allowance has been assigned to the Company based on the provisions of the tax sharing agreement. Accordingly, a cumulative valuation allowance of $253 has been recorded because it is managements assessment that it is more likely than
not that deferred tax assets of $6,824 will be realized. The Company had no valuation allowance as of December 31, 2007.

The
Companys ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the same character within the carryback or carryforward periods. In assessing future GAAP taxable income, the Company has
considered all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax asset, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carry forwards, taxable
income in carry back years and tax-planning strategies. If changes occur in the assumptions underlying the Companys tax planning strategies or in the scheduling of the reversal of the Companys deferred tax liabilities, the valuation
allowance may need to be adjusted in the future.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had no net operating loss carryforwards for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 2008, the Company had a capital loss carryover for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the amount of $1,535, which was generated in 2008 and will expire, if not utilized, in 2013.

|7. | Stockholders Equity
|-- | --------------------

The Board of Directors
of the Company has authorized 100,000 shares of common stock with a stated value of $20 per share. All the shares are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. All the outstanding shares at December 31, 2008 are owned by the

|8. | Statutory Information
|-- | ---------------------

Statutory-basis financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Commerce. Prescribed statutory accounting principles (SAP) includes the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) as well as state laws, regulations and administrative rules.

The
principal differences between SAP and GAAP are: 1) policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred under SAP, but are deferred and amortized under GAAP; 2) the value of business acquired is not capitalized under SAP but is under GAAP; 3) amounts
collected from holders of universal life-type and annuity products are recognized as premiums when collected under SAP, but are initially recorded as contract deposits under GAAP, with cost of insurance recognized as revenue when assessed and other
contract charges recognized over the periods for which services are provided; 4) the classification and carrying amounts of investments in certain securities are different under SAP than under GAAP; 5) the criteria for providing asset valuation
allowances, and the methodologies used to determine the amounts thereof, are different under SAP than under GAAP; 6) the timing of establishing certain reserves, and the methodologies used to determine the amounts thereof, are different under SAP
than under GAAP; 7) certain assets are not admitted for purposes of determining surplus under SAP; 8) methodologies used to determine the amounts of deferred taxes, intangible assets and goodwill are different under SAP than under GAAP; and 9) the
criteria for obtaining reinsurance accounting treatment is different under SAP than under GAAP.

The Company utilizes ceded reinsurance for loss protection and capital management and business
divestitures.

Loss Protection and Capital Management

As part of the Companys overall risk and capacity management strategy, the Company purchases reinsurance for certain risks underwritten by the
Company, including significant individual or catastrophic claims, which enables the Company to free up capital to write additional business.

Under indemnity reinsurance transactions in which the Company is the ceding insurer, the Company remains liable for policy claims if the assuming company fails to meet its obligations. To mitigate this risk, the Company has control
procedures to evaluate the financial condition of reinsurers and to monitor the concentration of credit risk. The selection of reinsurance companies is based on criteria related to solvency and reliability and, to a lesser degree, diversification as
well as on developing strong relationships with the Companys reinsurers for the sharing of risks. A.M. Best ratings for The Hartford and John Hancock, the reinsurers we have the most exposure to, are A+ and A++, respectively, although A.M.
Best recently placed a negative outlook on the issuer credit and financial strength ratings of both The Hartford and John Hancock. The majority of our remaining reinsurance exposure has been ceded to companies rated A- or better by A.M. Best,
although A.M. Best recently placed a negative outlook on the Life and Health insurance industry.

Business Divestitures

The Company has used reinsurance to exit certain businesses, such as the disposals of FFG and LTC. Reinsurance was used in these
cases to facilitate the transactions because the businesses shared legal entities with operating segments that the Company retained. Assets supporting liabilities ceded relating to these businesses are held in trusts for LTC and the separate
accounts relating to FFG are still reflected in the Companys balance sheet. If the reinsurers became insolvent, we would be exposed to the risk that the assets in the trusts and/or the separate accounts would be insufficient to support the
liabilities that would revert back to us. The reinsurance recoverable from The Hartford was $3,206 and $3,258 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The reinsurance recoverable from John Hancock was $59,063 and $53,803 as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively.

The reinsurance agreement associated with the FFG sale also stipulates that The Hartford contribute funds to
increase the value of the separate account assets relating to Modified Guaranteed Annuity business sold if such value declines below the value of the associated liabilities. If The Hartford fails to fulfill these obligations, the Company will be
obligated to make these payments.

In addition, the Company would be responsible for administering this business in the event of
reinsurer insolvency. We do not currently have the administrative systems and capabilities to process this business. Accordingly, we would need to obtain those capabilities in the event of an insolvency of one or more of the reinsurers of these
businesses. We might be forced to obtain such capabilities on unfavorable terms with a resulting material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

As of December 31, 2008, we were not aware of any regulatory actions taken with respect to the solvency of the insurance subsidiaries of The Hartford or
John Hancock that reinsure the FFG and LTC businesses, and the Company has not been obligated to fulfill any of such reinsurers obligations.

Short Duration Contracts

The Companys short duration contracts are comprised of group term life, group disability, medical, dental, and credit life. The principal products
and services included in these categories are described in the summary of significant accounting polices (see Note 2).

Case and IBNR
reserves are developed using actuarial principles and assumptions that consider, among other things, contractual requirements, historical utilization trends and payment patterns, benefit changes, medical inflation, seasonality, membership, product
mix, legislative and regulatory environment, economic factors, disabled life mortality and claim termination rates and other relevant factors. The Company consistently applies the principles and assumptions listed above from year to year, while also
giving due consideration to the potential variability of these factors.

Since case and IBNR reserves include estimates developed from
various actuarial methods, the Companys actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Companys previously developed estimates. As shown in the table above, if the amounts listed on the line labeled Incurred losses related to:
Prior year are negative (redundant) this means that the Companys actual losses incurred related to prior years for these lines were less than the estimates previously made by the Company. If the line labeled Incurred losses related
to: Prior year are positive (deficient) this means that the Companys actual losses incurred related to prior years for these lines were greater than the estimates previously made by the Company.

The Group Term Life case and IBNR reserves redundancies in all years are due to actual mortality rates running below those assumed in prior year
reserves, and actual recovery rates running higher than those assumed in prior year reserves.

Group Disability case and IBNR reserves show
redundancies in 2006 and 2008 due to actual claim recovery rates exceeding those in prior year reserves. In 2007, there was a slight reserve deficiency as the block is small and subject to some volatility year to year.

The Companys group disability products are short duration contracts that include short and long term disability coverage. Case and IBNR reserves
for long-term disability have been discounted at 5.25% in 2008. The December 31, 2008 and 2007 liabilities net of reinsurance include $73,673 and $71,838, respectively, of such reserves. The amount of discounts deducted from outstanding
reserves as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 are $24,219 and $25,753, respectively.

Long Duration Contracts

The Companys long duration contracts are comprised of FFG and LTC disposed businesses. The principal products and services included in these
categories are described in the summary of significant accounting polices (see Note 2).

The reserves for FFG and LTC are included in the Companys reserves in accordance with FAS 113,
Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts. The Company maintains an offsetting reinsurance recoverable related to these reserves (see Note 9).



|11. | Retirement and Other Employee Benefits
|--- | --------------------------------------

The Parent
sponsors a defined benefit pension plan and certain other post retirement benefits covering employees and certain agents who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Plan assets of the defined benefit plans are not specifically
identified by each participating subsidiary. Therefore, a breakdown of plan assets is not reflected in these financial statements. The Company has no legal obligation for benefits under these plans. The benefits are based on years of service and
career compensation. The Parents pension plan funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts as
the Parent may determine to be appropriate from time to time up to the maximum permitted, and to charge each subsidiary an allocable amount based on its employee census. Pension costs allocated to the Company were approximately $124 for 2008, 2007
and 2006, respectively.

The Company participates in a contributory profit sharing plan, sponsored by our Parent, covering employees and
certain agents who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Benefits are payable to participants on retirement or disability and to the beneficiaries of participants in the event of death. For employees hired on or before
December 31, 2000, the first 3% of an employees contribution is matched 200% by the Company. The second 2% is matched 50% by the Company. For employees hired after December 31, 2000, the first 3% of an employees contribution is
matched 100% by the Company. The second 2% is matched 50% by the Company. The amounts expensed under the contributory profit sharing plan were $58, $68 and $48 for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

With respect to retirement benefits, the Company participates in other health care and life insurance benefit plans (postretirement benefits) for retired
employees, sponsored by our Parent. Health care benefits, either through the Parents sponsored retiree plan for retirees under age 65 or through a cost offset for individually purchased Medigap policies for retirees over age 65, are available
to employees who retire on or after January 1, 1993, at age 55 or older, with 10 years or more service. Life insurance, on a retiree pay all basis, is available to those who retire on or after January 1, 1993. During 2008, 2007 and 2006
the Company incurred expenses related to retirement benefits of $24, $24 and $26, respectively.
