    ANNUAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR 2010 OF THE MINNESOTA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Accounting Practices

    The accompanying statutory financial statements of Minnesota Life Insurance Company (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Minnesota Department of Commerce. The Minnesota Department of Commerce recognizes statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the state of Minnesota for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Minnesota Insurance Law. Prescribed statutory accounting practices are those practices that are incorporated directly or by reference in state laws, regulations and general administrative rules applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a particular state. Permitted statutory accounting practices include practices not prescribed by the domiciliary state, but allowed by the domiciliary state regulatory authority. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the state of Minnesota. The state has adopted the prescribed accounting practices found in NAIC SAP, without modification.

    The Company has received a permitted practice from the Minnesota Department of Commerce to use a modified 1959 accidental death benefit (ADB) table. The Company also holds certain reserves in excess of what is prescribed in Appendix A-820 Minimum Life and Annuity Reserve Standards of the NAIC SAP. The holding of these more conservative reserves is considered a prescribed practice by the Minnesota Department of Commerce.

    A reconciliation of the Company’s net income and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the state of Minnesota is shown below: 12/31/2010 12/31/2009 1. Net Income, Minnesota State basis: $ 96,633,000 $ 60,714,217 2. State Prescribed Practices (Income): Company holds reserves in excess of prescribed reserves per A-820 $ 4,037,000 $ 2,056,000 3. State Permitted Practices (Income): Permitted use of modified 1959 ADB Table $ (825,000) $ (410,000) 4. Net Income, NAIC SAP: $ 99,845,000 $ 62,360,217

    5. Statutory Surplus, Minnesota State basis: $ 1,939,214,952 $ 1,741,622,060 6. State Prescribed Practices (Surplus): Company holds reserves in excess of prescribed reserves per A-820 $ 9,069,000 $ 5,032,000 7. State Permitted Practices (Surplus): Permitted use of modified 1959 ADB Table $ (4,394,000) $ (3,569,000) 8. Statutory Surplus, NAIC SAP $ 1,943,889,952 $ 1,743,085,060

    B. Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting practices requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported assets and liabilities, including reporting or disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Future events, including but not limited to changes in mortality, morbidity, interest rates and asset valuations, could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used in the financial statements and such changes in estimates are generally recorded on the statements of operations in the period in which they are made. The most significant estimates include those used in determining policy reserves, valuation of and impairment losses on investments, valuation allowances and impairments on mortgage loans on real estate, federal income taxes, and pension and other postretirement employee benefits. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, the recorded amounts reflect management’s best estimates based on facts and circumstances as of the statement of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus date. Management believes the amounts provided are appropriate.

    ANNUAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR 2010 OF THE MINNESOTA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    C. Accounting Policy

    Premiums are credited to revenue over the premium paying period of the policies, with the exception of single and flexible premium contracts which are credited to revenue when received from the policyholder. Annuity considerations, investment management, administration and contract guarantee fees are recognized as revenue when received. Any premiums due that are not yet paid, and premiums paid on other than an annual basis, are included in premiums deferred and uncollected on the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus. Benefits and expenses, including acquisition costs related to acquiring new and renewal business, are charged to operations as incurred. Acquisition expenses incurred are reduced for ceding allowances received or receivable. Dividends on participating policies and other discretionary payments are declared by the Board of Directors based upon actuarial determinations that take into consideration current mortality, interest earnings, expense factors and federal income taxes. Dividends are generally recognized as expenses when declared by the Board of Directors and up to one year in advance of the payout dates.

    Insurance liabilities are reported after the effects of ceded reinsurance. Reinsurance recoverables represent amounts due from reinsurers for paid and unpaid benefits, expense reimbursements, prepaid premiums and future policy benefits. Reinsurance premiums ceded and recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income and expense accounts.

    Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, adjusted for any other than temporary impairment (OTTI) losses taken. Estimated losses are directly recorded to the carrying value of the asset and recorded as realized losses in the statements of operations.

    Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance less amounts unsecured by the cash surrender value of the policy. Accrued interest on policy loans over 90 days is non-admitted.

    1. The Company considers all money-market funds, commercial paper, and bonds purchased in the current year

    with original maturity dates of less than twelve months to be short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and, at time, these balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. The Company considers short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    2. Bonds are valued as prescribed by the NAIC. Bonds not backed by other loans are generally carried at cost,

    adjusted for the amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, and any OTTI. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the estimated lives of the related bonds based on the interest yield method. Prepayment penalties are recorded to net investment income when collected. When the Company has determined an OTTI has occurred, the security is written-down to fair value. If the impairment is deemed to be non-interest related, an OTTI is recorded in earnings. For interest related declines, an OTTI is recorded when the Company has the intent to sell or does not have the ability to hold the bond until the forecasted recovery occurs. Many criteria are considered during this process including but not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the current fair value has been below the amortized cost of the security, specific credit issues such as collateral, financial prospects related to the issuer, the Company’s intent to sell the security and the current economic conditions. Bonds that have been assigned the NAIC category 6 designation are carried at the lower of cost or NAIC fair value.

    3. Common stocks are carried at NAIC fair value except that investments in stocks of uncombined subsidiaries

    and affiliates in which the Company has an interest of 10% or more are carried on the equity basis. Stocks without a NAIC market value are nonadmitted unless a permitted NAIC outside pricing source is obtained. For common stocks an OTTI is recorded when the Company has the intent to sell the investment. When an OTTI has occurred, the entire difference between NAIC fair value and the common stock’s cost is charged to earnings. Common stocks that have been in an unrealized loss position of greater than 20% for longer than six months are reviewed specifically using available third party information based on the investee’s current financial condition, liquidity, near-term recovery prospects, and other factors. In addition, common stocks that have an unrealized loss position greater than $100,000 are reviewed based on the individual characteristics of the stock. All other stocks with significant unrealized losses are also reviewed on the same basis for impairment. The Company recognizes dividend income on unaffiliated common stocks upon declaration of the dividend.

    4. Preferred stocks are carried at cost less any OTTI adjustments. 5. Mortgage loans are carried at the outstanding principal balances, net of unamortized premiums and

    discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the terms of the mortgage loans based on the interest yield method. The Company provides valuation allowances for impairments of mortgage loans on a specific identification basis. Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the Company determines that a loan is impaired, a provision for loss is estimated equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the collateral less estimated costs. Changes in the valuation allowance are recorded in unrealized capital gains (losses), net of federal income taxes on the statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus.

  • 19.2

    ANNUAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR 2010 OF THE MINNESOTA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    The Company continues to record interest on those impaired mortgage loans that it believes to be collectible as due and accrued investment income. Any loans that have income 180 days or more past due continue to accrue income, but report all due and accrued income as a non-admitted asset. Past due interest on loans that are uncollectible is written off and no further interest is accrued. Any cash received for interest on impaired loans is recorded as income when collected. Prepayment penalties are recorded to net investment income when collected.

    6. Loan-backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or discounted cash

    flows. The Company’s loan-backed securities are reviewed quarterly and as a result the carrying value of a loan-backed security may be reduced to reflect changes in valuation resulting from discounted cash flow information. Loan-backed securities which have been assigned the NAIC category 6 designation are written down to the appropriate NAIC fair value. The Company uses a third-party pricing service in assisting the Company’s determination of the fair value of most loan-backed securities. An internally developed pricing model using a commercial software application is used to price a small number of holdings. The retrospective adjustment method is used to record investment income on all non-impaired securities except for interest-only securities or other non-investment grade securities where the yield had become negative. Investment income is recorded using the prospective method on these securities. Loan-backed securities that have been impaired are amortized to a new undiscounted cash flow if the security has recovered.

    For loan-backed securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield method based on prepayment assumptions obtained from an outside service provider or upon analyst review of the underlying collateral and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimated prepayments differ from the anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual prepayments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. In addition, recoveries of impaired securities undiscounted cash flows are amortized up from book value to the improved undiscounted cash flow to the new estimated prepayment window. All other investment income is recorded using the interest method without anticipating the impact of prepayment.

    7. Investments in subsidiary companies are accounted for using the equity method and are carried as

    investments in affiliated common stock or as other invested assets in the case of limited liability companies, in the statutory statements of admitted assets. The Company records changes in equity in its subsidiaries as credits or charges to capital and surplus. Insurance subsidiaries are recorded using statutory accounting principles. Non-insurance subsidiaries not engaged in prescribed insurance related activities are recorded using audited generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) results. Non-insurance subsidiaries engaged in prescribed insurance activities are recorded using audited GAAP results with certain statutory basis adjustments.

    8. Alternative investments include private equity funds, mezzanine debt funds and hedge funds investing in

    limited partnerships are carried on the statutory statements of admitted assets at the amount invested, adjusted to recognize the Company’s ownership share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition, adjusted for any distributions received. In-kind distributions are recorded as a return of capital for the cost basis of the stock received. Any adjustments recorded directly to unassigned surplus of the investee are recorded, based on the Company’s ownership share, as an adjustment to the amount invested and as unrealized capital gains or losses. The valuation of private equity investments is recorded based on the partnership financial statements from the previous quarter, with audited GAAP or tax financial statements being provided annually to support the underlying valuations. The Company believes this valuation process represents the best available estimate, however, to the extent that market conditions fluctuate significantly, any change in the following quarter partnership financial statements could be material to the Company’s unrealized gains or losses included in unassigned surplus. The Company evaluates partnership financial statements received subsequent to December 31 up to the annual statement print date for material fluctuations in order to determine if an adjustment should be recorded as of December 31. These investments are included in the other invested assets category on the statutory statements of admitted assets. Alternative investments which have been in an unrealized loss position of greater than 20% for longer than two years are analyzed on a fund by fund basis using current and forecasted expectations for future fund performance, the age of the fund, general partner commentary and underlying investments within the fund. If facts and circumstances indicate that the value of the investment will not recover in a reasonable time period, the cost of the investment is written down and an OTTI is recorded in realized gains and losses on the statements of operations.

    9. The Company uses a variety of derivatives, including swaps, futures and option contracts, to manage the

    risks associated with cash flows or changes in estimated fair values related to the Company’s financial instruments. The Company currently enters into derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting or in certain cases, elects not to utilize hedge accounting.

    Changes in derivative instruments carried at fair value are recorded in net unrealized capital gains (losses) on

    the statutory statements of capital and surplus. Interest income generated by derivative instruments is reported in net realized capital gains (losses) on the statutory statements of operations.

    The significant inputs to the pricing models for most over-the-counter derivatives are inputs that are

    observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and volatility. However, certain over-the-counter derivatives may rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Significant inputs that are unobservable

  • 19.3

    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    generally include: independent broker quotes and inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. In general, all over-the-counter derivatives are compared to an outside broker quote when available and are reviewed in detail through the Company’s valuation oversight group.

    The credit risk of the obligor is considered in determining the estimated fair value for all over-the-counter

    derivatives after taking into account the effects of netting agreements and collateral arrangements. Counterparty credit risk of the derivative instruments are monitored closely by the Company along with concentration of similar counterparty credit risks in other assets of the investment portfolio.

    The Company also enters into certain foreign currency derivative transactions that do not meet hedge

    accounting criteria. The primary purpose of the Company’s foreign currency economic hedging activities is to manage the foreign exchange risk inherent in the elapsed time between trade processing and trade settlement in its international equity portfolios. The Company uses short-duration spot contracts in its efforts to minimize this risk.

    The Company holds “To-Be-Announced” (TBA) Government National Mortgage Association forward contracts that require the Company to take delivery of a mortgage-backed security at a settlement date in the future. A majority of the TBAs are settled at the first available period allowed under the contract. However, the deliveries of some of the Company’s TBA securities happen at a later date, thus extending the forward contract date. These securities are reported at amortized cost as derivatives. Instruments on the statement of admitted assets. Several life insurance and annuity products in the Company’s liability portfolio contain investment guarantees that create economic exposure to equity and interest rate risks. These guarantees take the form of guaranteed withdrawal benefits on variable annuities, a guaranteed payout floor on a variable payout annuity, and equity linked interest credits on both fixed annuity and fixed universal life products. The Company uses economic hedges including futures contracts, interest rate swaps and exchanges trade options, in its efforts to minimize the financial risk associated with these product guarantees. The Company enters into interest rate futures contracts to manage duration within certain total return managed portfolios within the general account.

    10. Not applicable 11. The liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses includes an amount for losses incurred but

    unreported, based on past experience, as well as an amount for reported but unpaid losses, which is calculated on a case-by-case basis. Such liabilities are necessarily based on assumptions and estimates. While management believes that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess or less than the amount estimated. The methods, including key assumptions, of making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed and any adjustments are reflected in the period such change in estimate is made. The liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance, is included in accident and health policy reserves and policy claims in process of settlement on the statements of liabilities, surplus and other funds.

    12. The Company has not modified its capitalization policy from the prior period.

    (2) Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors

    A. In September 2009, new accounting guidance for loan backed and structured securities was issued. The new guidance requires bifurcation of other-than-temporary impairments between interest and non-interest related declines in value. The Company completed its evaluation of the new guidance during fourth quarter 2009, which resulted in a one-time cumulative adjustment increase to statutory surplus of $23,280,000, after-tax.

    E. Repurchase Agreement and/or Securities Lending Transactions

    1. For reverse repurchase agreements, the Company requires a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred under reverse repurchase agreements to be maintained as collateral. Cash collateral received is invested in US Government Money Market Funds and the offsetting liability and accrued interest is included in borrowed money on the statement of liabilities, surplus and other funds. The Company participates in a securities lending program where it receives collateral assets in exchange for loaned securities. When these loan transactions occur, the lending broker provides cash collateral equivalent to 102% to 105% of the market value of the loaned securities. This collateral is deposited with a lending agent who invests the collateral on behalf of the Company and the offsetting liability is included in payable for securities lending on the statement of liabilities, surplus and other funds. The value of the collateral was $33,274,294 at December 31, 2010.
