In 2011 and 2010, there were no instances in which the Company discontinued cash flow hedge<br />
accounting because the forecasted transactions did not occur on the anticipated date or in the additional<br />
time period permitted.<br />
There were no other unrealized gains or losses recoqnized during the reporting period resulting from<br />
derivatives that no longer qualify for hedge accounting.<br />
The following table presents the effects of derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships in the<br />
accompanying Statutory Statements of Operations and Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus for the<br />
years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in millions).<br />

The amount of gain or (loss) recognized in net income is reported in net realized capital (losses), net investment income or other income<br />
in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Operations. The amounts include periodic settlement payments received or paid on the<br />
derivatives.<br />
Fair Value Hedges<br />
For fair value hedges, in which derivatives hedge the fair value of assets and liabilities, changes in the fair<br />
value of derivatives are reported based on how the change in the fair value of the underlying asset or<br />
liability being hedged is reported.<br />
The Company designates and accounts for the following as fair value hedges when they have met the<br />
requirements for a qualified hedge: (i) interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate investments to floating rate<br />
investments; (ii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency fair value exposure of foreign<br />
currency denominated investments; (iii) equity swaps to hedge the market price risk for common stock<br />
investments.<br />
For fair value hedges, the Company generally uses a qualitative assessment to assess hedge effectiveness,<br />
which matches the critical terms of the derivative with the underlying hedged item. For fair value hedges<br />
of equity investments, the Company uses regression analysis, which measures the correlation to the equity<br />
exposure being hedged. The Company’s fair value hedges are primarily hedges of fixed maturity<br />
securities.<br />
The Company did not have any fair value hedges in 2011 and 2010.<br />
