PRESIDENTIAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 CONDENSED NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
 
**1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**A.	Business
Presidential Life Corporation ("the Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Presidential Life Insurance Company ("Insurance Company"), is engaged in the sale of life insurance and annuities.
**B.	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable to stock life insurance companies for interim financial statements and with the requirements of Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP applicable to stock life insurance companies for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. Management believes that, although the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, the consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the footnotes contained in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000.  
**C.	Investments
Fixed maturity investments available for sale represent investments which may be sold in response to changes in various economic conditions.  These investments are carried at market value and unrealized gains (losses), net of the effects of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs of approximately $7.7 million and $4.0 million, and deferred Federal income taxes of approximately $(15.4) million and $(8.4) million, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, are credited or charged directly to shareholders' equity, unless a decline in market value is considered to be other than temporary in which case the investment is reduced to its net realizable value. Common stocks  are carried at market, with the related unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, if any, credited or charged directly to shareholders' equity, unless a decline in market value is deemed to be other than temporary in which case the investment is reduced to its net realizable value.

"Other invested assets" are recorded at the lower of cost or market, or equity, as appropriate, and primarily include interests in limited partnerships which principally are engaged in real estate, international opportunities, acquisitions of private growth companies, debt restructuring and merchant banking.  In general, risks

C.	Investments - continued
associated with such limited partnerships include those related to their underlying investments (i.e., equity securities, debt securities and real estate), plus a level of illiquidity, which is mitigated by the ability of the Company to take annual distributions of partnership earnings.  To evaluate the appropriateness of the carrying value of a limited partnership interest, management maintains ongoing discussions with the investment manager and considers the limited partnership's operation, its current and near term projected financial condition, earnings capacity and distributions received by the Company during the year.  Because it is not practicable to obtain an independent valuation for each limited partnership interest, for purposes of disclosure, the market value of a limited partnership interest is estimated at book value.  Management believes that the net realizable value of such limited partnership interests, in the aggregate, exceeds their related carrying value as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.  As of June 30, 2001, the Company was committed to contribute, if called upon, an aggregate of approximately $71.4 million of additional capital to certain of these limited partnerships.

In evaluating whether an investment security or other investment has suffered an impairment in value which is deemed to be "other than temporary", management considers all available evidence.  When a decline in the value of an investment security or other investment is considered to be other than temporary, the investment is reduced to its net realizable value, which becomes the new cost basis.  The amount of reduction is recorded as a realized loss.  A recovery from the adjusted cost basis is recognized as a realized gain only at sale.

The Company participates in "dollar roll" repurchase agreement transactions to enhance investment income.  Dollar roll transactions involve the sale of certain mortgage backed securities to a holding institution and a simultaneous agreement to purchase substantially similar securities for forward settlement at a lower dollar price.  The proceeds are invested in short-term securities at a positive spread until the settlement date of the similar securities.  During this period, the holding institution receives all income and prepayments for the security.  Dollar roll repurchase agreement transactions are treated as financing transactions for financial reporting purposes.
**D.	Federal Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The asset and liability method in recording income taxes on all transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements is used. SFAS 109 provides that deferred income taxes are adjusted to reflect tax rates at which future tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or realized.
**E.	Earnings Per Common Share  "EPS"
Basic EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares including contingently issuable shares and other dilutive items.  The weighted average number of common shares used to compute diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was 29,333,001 and 30,345,066 respectively. The weighted average number of common shares used to diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was 29,325,771 and 30,488,854, respectively. The dilution from the potential exercise of stock options outstanding did not change basic EPS.

**F.	New Accounting Pronouncements
		In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 deferred the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133") until January 1, 2001.  SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, requires, among other things, that all derivatives be recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.  The corresponding derivative gains and losses should be reported based upon the hedge relationship, if such a relationship exists.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 are required to be reported in income. The impact of adopting SFAS 133 and 138 was: (i) to record, as a transition adjustment to accumulated comprehensive income, effective January 1, 2001, an unrealized loss of $5.3 million and (ii) to record realized losses of $384,000, net of tax, during the three month period ended June 30, 2001. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued certain additional guidance relating to the identification of embedded derivatives under SFAS 133 and SFAS 138. The Company is in the process of quantifying the impact of this additional guidance which is effective July 1, 2001.

		In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125 ("SFAS 140").  SFAS 140 is effective for transfers after March 31, 2001 and is effective for disclosures about securitizations and collateral and for recognition and reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Adoption of SFAS 140 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

		In March 1998, the National Association of Insurance Commissioner ("NAIC") adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (the "Codification"). The Codification, which is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments, is effective January 1, 2001.  However, statutory accounting principles will continue to be established by individual state laws and  permitted practices.  The New York State Insurance Department ("NYSID") required adoption of the Codification with certain modifications, for the preparation of statutory financial statements effective January 1, 2001.  The adoption of Codification by the NAIC and the Codification as modified by the NYSID, as currently interpreted, did not adversely affect statutory capital and surplus as of June 30,2001.
**2.		INVESTMENTS
		There were no investments in any  one issuer that aggregate 10% or more of Shareholder's Equity as of June 30, 2001. 

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $11.7 million were on deposit with various state insurance departments to comply with applicable insurance laws.
**3.		NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 consist of $100 million, 

7 7/8% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due February 15, 2009.  Interest is payable February 15 and August 15.  Debt issue costs are being amortized on the interest method over the term of the notes.  As of June 30, 2001, such unamortized costs were $6.5 million. The total principal is due on February 15, 2009.

      The Company has one bank line of credit in the amount of $25,000,000 and provides for interest borrowings based on market indices.  At June 30, 2001, the Company had $25,000,000 outstanding under the line of credit.
** 

 

4.		INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, (b) operating loss carryforwards and (c) a valuation allowance. 

The valuation allowance relates principally to investment writedowns recorded for financial reporting purposes, which have not been recognized for income tax purposes, due to the uncertainty associated with their realizability for income tax purposes.  Changes in the valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2001 reflect the reduction in the deferred income tax asset as of June 30, 2001.  The Company's effective tax rate for each of the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was  29.3% and 31.9%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30,2001 and 2000 was 29.1% and 28.8%, respectively.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REVIEW REPORT

 

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Presidential Life Corporation

Nyack, New York 10960

 

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Presidential Life Corporation and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Presidential Life Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 14, 2001, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations****General

The Company operates principally in a single business segment with two primary lines of business-individual life insurance and individual annuities.  Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  Premiums shown on the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP consist of premiums received for whole or term life insurance products, as well as that portion of the Company's single premium immediate annuities which have life contingencies.  With respect to that portion of single premium annuity contracts without life contingencies, as well as single premium deferred annuities and universal life insurance products, premiums collected by the Company are not reported as premium revenues, but rather are reported as additions to policyholder account balances.  With respect to products that are accounted for as policyholder account balances, revenues are recognized over time in the form of policy fee income, surrender charges and mortality and other charges deducted from the policyholder's account balance.  The Company's operating earnings are derived primarily from these revenues, plus the Company's investment results, including realized investment gains (losses), less interest credited, benefits to policyholders and expenses.

Certain costs related to the sale of new business are deferred as deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and amortized into expenses in proportion to the recognition of earned revenues.  Costs deferred include principally commissions, certain expenses of the policy issue and underwriting departments and certain variable sales expenses. Under certain circumstances, DAC will be expensed earlier than originally estimated, including those circumstances where the policy terminations are higher than originally estimated with respect to certain annuity products.  Most of the Company's annuity products have surrender charges which are designed to discourage and mitigate the effect of early terminations. 

The Insurance Company is rated "A-"(Excellent) by A.M. Best.
**Results of Operations

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to six months ended

June 30, 2000.
**Revenues

Annuity Considerations and Life Insurance Premiums

Total annuity considerations and life insurance premiums increased to approximately $52.6 million for the six  months ended June 30, 2001 from approximately $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of approximately $22.2 million.  Of this amount, annuity considerations increased to approximately $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from approximately $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 an increase of approximately $21.0 million.  In accordance with GAAP, sales of single premium deferred annuities are not reported as insurance revenues, but rather as additions to policyholder account balances.  Sales of single premium annuities were approximately $287.5 million and approximately $176.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively.  Management believes that the increase in annuity considerations is due to the successful expansion of our Marketing Department and new product sales.

Policy Fee Income

Universal life and investment type policy fee income was approximately $425 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to approximately $235 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This represents approximately a 

$190 thousand increase.  
**Net Investment Income

Net investment income totaled approximately $106.9 million during the first six months of 2001, as compared to approximately $112.0 million during the first six months of 2000.  This represents a decrease of approximately $5.1 million due primarily to a reduction in income from variable rate investments. Investment income from other invested assets totaled approximately $16.7 million during the first six months of 2001, as compared to approximately $17.5 million during the first six months of 2000. The Company's ratio of net investment income to average cash and invested assets less net investment income for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 was approximately 8.16% and 9.76%, respectively.
**Realized Investment Gains and Losses

Realized investment gains (losses) amounted to a gain of approximately $126 thousand during the first six months of 2001, as compared to a loss of approximately $3.8 million during the first six months of 2000.  Realized investment gains were offset by realized investment losses of approximately $7.4 million and $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively, attributable to other than temporary impairments in the value of certain securities contained in the Company's investment portfolio.  Realized investment gains result from sales of certain equities and convertible securities, and calls and sales of securities in the Company's investment portfolio.  There can be no assurance that the Company's investment portfolio will yield investment gains in future periods.
**Total Benefits and Expenses

Total benefits and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 aggregated approximately $144.1 million, as compared to approximately $110.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This represents an increase of $33.4 million from the first half of 2000.
**Interest Credited and Benefits to Policyholders

Interest credited and other benefits to policyholders amounted to approximately $126.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to approximately $95.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase is attributable to a higher level of policyholder account balances as a result of the increase in annuity considerations received during the period.

The Insurance Company's average credited rate for reserves and account balances for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were less than the Company's ratio of net investment income to mean assets for the same period as noted above under "Net Investment Income". Although management does not currently expect material declines in the spread between the Company's average credited rate for reserves and account balances and the Company's ratio of net investment income to mean assets (the "Spread"), there can be no assurance that the Spread will not decline in future periods or that such decline will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.  Depending, in part, upon competitive factors affecting the industry in general, and the Company, in particular, the Company may, from time to time, change the average credited rates on certain of its products.  There can be no assurance that the Company will reduce such rates or that any such reductions will broaden the Spread.

**Interest Expense on Notes Payable

The interest expense on the Company's notes payable amounted to approximately $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, and approximately $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  The decrease in interest expense in the first half of 2001 is attributable to the decrease in the Company's short-term notes payable.
**General Expenses, Taxes and Commissions

General expenses, taxes and commissions to agents totaled approximately $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to approximately $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This represents approximately an increase of $6.1 million.  The increase principally is attributable to higher commissions and related expenses incurred in the first half of 2001 associated with the higher level of sales in 2001.
**Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The change in deferred policy acquisition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2001 resulted in a credit of approximately $8.4 million, as compared to a credit of approximately $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  The change is due to the increase in costs associated with recent new product sales which have been deferred and are amortized in proportion to the recognition of earned revenue.
**Income Before Income Taxes

For the reasons discussed above, income before income taxes amounted to approximately $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to approximately $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
**Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $5.1 million for the first six months of 2001 as compared to approximately $9.9 million for the first six months of 2000.  This decrease is primarily attributable to lower operating income before income taxes partially offset by realized capital gains for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
**Net Income

For the reasons discussed above, the Company had net income of approximately $12.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and net income of approximately $21.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000.
**Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is an insurance holding company and its primary uses of cash are debt service obligations, operating expenses and dividend payments.  The Company's principal source of cash is rent from its real estate, interest on its investments and dividends from the Insurance Company.  During the second quarter of 2001, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.10 per share payable on July 2, 2001.  During the first half of 2001 the Company purchased and retired 26,000 shares of common stock.

The Insurance Company is subject to various regulatory restrictions on the maximum amount of payments, including loans or cash advances, that it may make to the Company without obtaining prior regulatory approval. Under the New York Insurance Law, the Insurance Company is permitted without prior insurance regulatory clearance to pay a stockholder dividend to the Company as long as the aggregate amount of all such dividends in any calendar year does not exceed the lesser of (i) 10% of its surplus as of the immediately preceding calendar year and (ii) its net gain from  operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized capital gains).  The Insurance Company will be  permitted to pay a stockholder dividend to the Company in excess of the lesser of such two amounts only if it files notice of its intention to declare such a dividend and the amount thereof with the Superintendent and the Superintendent does not disapprove the distribution.  Under the New York Insurance Law, the Superintendent has broad discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its stockholders.  The NYSDI has established informal guidelines for such determinations. The guidelines, among other things, focus on the insurer's overall financial condition and profitability under statutory accounting practices.  Management of the  Company cannot provide assurance that the Insurance Company will have statutory earnings to support payment of dividends to the Company in an amount sufficient to fund its cash requirements and pay cash dividends or that the Superintendent will not disapprove any dividends that the Insurance Company must submit for the Superintendent's consideration. The Company's other insurance subsidiary is also subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends to their respective parent companies. During the first quarter of 2001, the Insurance Company paid dividends of $27.7 million to the Company. During the fiscal year 2000, the Insurance Company paid dividends of $49.6 million to the Company.

Principal sources of funds at the Insurance Company are premiums and other considerations paid, contract charges earned, net investment income received and proceeds from investments called, redeemed or sold.  The principal uses of these funds are the payment of benefits on life insurance policies and annuity contracts, operating expenses and the purchase of investments.  Net cash provided by the Company's operating activities (reflecting principally: (i) premiums and contract charges collected less (ii) benefits paid on life insurance and annuity products plus (iii) income collected on invested assets less (iv) commissions and other general expenses paid) was approximately $44.0 million and $38.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Net cash used in the Company's investing activities (principally reflecting investments purchased less investments called, redeemed or sold) was approximately $303.2 million, and $183.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

For purposes of the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows, financing activities relate primarily to sales and surrenders of the Company's universal life insurance and annuity products.  The payment of dividends by the Company are also considered to be a financing activity.  In addition, as previously discussed, the Company participates in dollar roll repurchase agreements which are considered to be 

a financing activity.  Net cash provided by the Company's financing activities amounted to approximately $259.3 million, and $113.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  This fluctuation primarily is attributable to higher policyholder account balances, and an increase in deposits of policies to be issued at June 30, 2001, partially offset by the increase in the Company's repayment of its line of credit.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants relating to limitations on liens and sale or issuance of capital stock of the Insurance Company. In the event the Company violates such covenants as defined in the indenture, the Company may be obligated to offer to repurchase all of the outstanding principal amount of such notes.  The Company believes that it is in compliance with all of the covenants. 	

16.

 

Given the Insurance Company's historic cash flow and current financial results, management believes that, for the next twelve months and for the reasonably foreseeable future, the Insurance Company's cash flow from operations will provide sufficient liquidity for the operations of the Insurance Company, as well as provide sufficient funds to the Company, so that the Company will be able to make dividend payments, satisfy its debt service obligations and pay its other operating expenses.

To meet its anticipated liquidity requirements, the Company purchases investments taking into account the anticipated future cash flow requirements of its underlying liabilities.  In managing the relationship between assets and liabilities, the Company analyzes the cash flows necessary to correspond with the expected cash needs on the underlying liabilities under various interest rate scenarios.  In addition, the Company invests a portion of its total assets in short-term investments (approximately 8.9% and 8.8% as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively).  The weighted average duration of the Company's debt portfolio was approximately six years as of June 30, 2001.  The Company's fixed maturity investments are all classified as available for sale and includes those securities available to be sold in response to, among other things, changes in market interest rates, changes in the security's prepayment risk, the Company's need for liquidity and other similar factors.  Fixed maturity investments available for sale represent investments which may be sold in response to changes in various economic conditions.  These investments are carried at estimated market value and unrealized gains and losses, net of the effects of amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred federal income taxes, are charged directly to shareholders' equity, unless a decline in market value is considered to be other than temporary in which event the Company recognizes a loss.  Equity securities include common stocks and non-redeemable preferred stocks and are carried at market, with the related unrealized gains and losses, net of federal income taxes, if any, charged directly to shareholders' equity, unless a decline in market value is considered to be other than temporary, in which event, the Company recognizes a loss.

The Insurance Company is subject to Regulation 130 adopted and promulgated by the NYSID.  Under this Regulation, the Insurance Company's ownership of below investment grade debt securities is limited to 20.0% of total admitted assets, as calculated under statutory accounting practices.  As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, approximately 6.80% and 7.92%, respectively, of the Insurance Company's total admitted assets were invested in below investment grade debt securities.

The Company maintains a portfolio which includes below investment grade fixed maturity debt securities which were purchased to achieve a more favorable investment yield, all of which are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value. As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the carrying value of these securities was approximately $225.6 million and $178.6 million, respectively, (representing approximately 6.8% and 6.0% of the Company's total assets and 49.4% and 38.1%, respectively, of shareholders' equity).

Investments in below investment grade securities have different risks than investments in corporate debt securities rated investment grade.  Risk of loss upon default by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to below investment grade securities than with other corporate debt securities because below investment grade securities generally are unsecured and often are subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.  Also, issuers of below investment grade securities usually have high levels of indebtedness and often are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than are investment grade issuers.  Typically, there only is a thinly traded market for such securities and recent market quotations 

 

 

	17.

 

 

 

 

 

may not be available for some of these securities.  Market quotes generally are available only from a limited number of dealers and may not represent firm bids of such dealers or prices for actual sales.  The Company attempts to reduce the overall risk in its below investment grade portfolio, as in all of its investments, through careful credit analysis, investment policy limitations, and diversification by company and by industry.

As of June 30, 2001, approximately 8.36% of the Company's total invested assets were invested in limited partnerships.  Such investments are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheet under the heading "Other invested assets."  See "Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."  The Company is committed, if called upon during a specified period, to contribute an aggregate of approximately $71.4 million of additional capital to certain of these limited partnerships.  However, management does not expect the entire amount to be drawn down as certain of these limited partnerships are nearing the end of the period during which investors are required to make contributions.  Pursuant to NYSID regulations, the Company's investments in equity securities, including limited partnership interests, may not exceed 20% of the Company's total invested assets.  The Company may make selective investments in additional limited partnerships as opportunities arise.  In general, risks associated with such limited partnerships include those related to their underlying investments (i.e., equity securities, debt securities and real estate), plus a level of illiquidity, which is mitigated by the ability of the Company to take annual distributions of partnership earnings.  There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to achieve the same level of returns on its investments in limited partnerships as it has historically or that the Company will achieve any returns on such investments at all.  Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will receive a return of all or any portion of its current or future capital investments in 

limited partnerships.  The failure of the Company to receive the return of a material portion of its capital investments in limited partnerships, or to achieve historic levels of return on such investments, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

As previously discussed, the Company participates in "dollar roll" repurchase agreements.  Amounts outstanding to repurchase securities under such agreements were $253.1 million and $233.2 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.  The Company  may engage in selected "dollar roll" transactions as market opportunities arise.

All 50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have insurance guaranty fund laws requiring all life insurance companies doing business within the jurisdiction to participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual obligations under insurance policies (and certificates issued under group insurance policies) issued by impaired or insolvent life insurance companies.  These associations levy assessments (up to prescribed limits) on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in which the impaired or insolvent insurer is engaged.  Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium tax offsets.  These assessments may be deferred or forgiven under most guaranty laws if they would threaten an insurer's solvency.  The amount of 

these assessments in prior years has not been material, however, the amount and timing of any future assessment on the Insurance Company under these laws cannot be reasonably estimated and are beyond the control of the Company and the Insurance Company.  Recent failures of substantially larger insurance companies could result in future assessments in material amounts.

Effects of Inflation and Interest Rate Changes

Management does not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations.  The Company seeks to manage its investment portfolio in part to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.  In general, the market value of the Company's fixed maturity portfolio increases or decreases in an inverse relationship with fluctuations in interest rates, and the Company's net investment income increases or decreases in direct relationship with interest rate changes.  For example, if interest rates decline, the Company's fixed maturity investments generally will increase in market value, while net investment income will decrease as fixed income investments mature or are sold and proceeds are reinvested at the declining rates, and vice versa.  Management is aware that prevailing market interest rates frequently shift and, accordingly, the Company has adopted strategies which are designed to address either an increase or decrease in prevailing rates.  In a rising interest rate environment, the Company's average cost of funds would be expected to increase over time as it prices its new and renewing annuities to maintain a generally competitive market rate.  Concurrently, the Company would attempt to place new funds in investments which were matched in duration to, and higher yielding than, the liabilities assumed.  Management believes that liquidity necessary to fund withdrawals would be available through income, cash flow, the Company's cash reserves or from the sale of short-term investments.  In a declining interest rate environment, the Company's cost of funds would be expected to decrease over time, reflecting lower interest crediting rates on its fixed annuities.  Should increased liquidity be required for withdrawals, management believes that the portion of the Company's investments which are designated as available for sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheet could be sold without materially adverse consequences in light of the general strengthening which would be expected in the fixed maturity security market.

Interest rate changes also may have temporary effects on the sale and profitability of the universal life and annuity products offered by the Company.  For example, if interest rates rise, competing investments (such as annuity or life insurance products offered by the Company's competitors, certificates of deposit, mutual funds and similar instruments) may become more attractive to potential purchasers of the Company's products until the Company increases the rates credited to holders of its universal life and annuity products.  In contrast, as interest rates fall, the Company attempts to lower its credited rates to compensate for the corresponding decline in its net investment income.  As a result, changes in interest rates could materially adversely effect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company depending on the attractiveness of alternative investments available to the Company's customers.  In that regard, in the current interest rate environment, the Company has attempted to maintain its credited rates at competitive 

levels which are designed to discourage surrenders and which may be considered attractive to purchasers of new annuity products.  In addition, because the level of 

prevailing interest rates impacts the Company as well as its competition, management does not believe that the current interest rate environment has materially affected the Company's competitive position visavis other life insurance companies that emphasize the sale of annuity products.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if interest rates continue at current levels, there can be no assurance that this segment of the life insurance industry, including the Company, would not experience increased levels of surrenders and reduced sales and thereby be materially adversely affected.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

		In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 deferred the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133") until January 1, 2001.  SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, requires, among other things, that all derivatives be recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.  The corresponding derivative gains and losses should be reported based upon the hedge relationship, if such a relationship exists.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 are required to be reported in income. The impact of adopting SFAS 133 and 138 was: (i) to record, as a transition adjustment to accumulated comprehensive income, effective January 1, 2001, an unrealized loss of $5.3 million and (ii) to record realized losses of $384,000, net of tax, during the three month period ended June 30, 2001. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued certain additional guidance relating to the identification of embedded derivatives under SFAS 133 and SFAS 138. The Company is in the process of quantifying the impact of this additional guidance which is effective July 1, 2001.

		In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125 ("SFAS 140").  SFAS 140 is effective for transfers after March 31, 2001 and is effective for disclosures about securitizations and collateral and for recognition and reclassification of collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Adoption of SFAS 140 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

		In March 1998, the National Association of Insurance Commissioner ("NAIC") adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (the "Codification"). The Codification, which is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to state insurance departments, is effective January 1, 2001.  However, statutory accounting principles will continue to be established by individual state laws and  permitted practices.  The New York State Insurance Department ("NYSID") required adoption of the Codification with certain modifications, for the preparation of statutory financial statements effective January 1, 2001.  The adoption of Codification by the NAIC and the Codification as modified by the NYSID, as currently interpreted, did not adversely affect statutory capital and surplus as of June 30,2001.

Forward Looking Information

The Company cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking statements contained in this report and in any other statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relates to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments.  Statements using verbs such as "expectant", "anticipate", "believe",or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements include statements which represent the Company's beliefs concerning future levels of sales and redemptions of the Company's products, investment spreads and yields, or the earnings and profitability of the Company's activities.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which are subject to change.  These uncertainties and contingencies could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.  Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable developments.  Some may be national in scope, such as general economic conditions, changes in tax law and changes in interest rates.  Some may be related to the insurance industry generally, such as pricing competition, regulatory developments and industry consolidation.  Others may relate to the Company specifically, such as credit, volatility and other risks associated with the Company's investment portfolio.  The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking information.
