ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York ("the Company"(the "Company"), a wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company ("ALIC"), which is wholly ownedwholly-owned by Allstate Insurance Company ("AIC"), a wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the "Corporation").

        The condensed financial statements and notes as of September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2003 and 2002 and 2001, are unaudited. The condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. TheseThe condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.2002. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

        To conform withto the 20022003 and year-end 20012002 presentations, certain amounts in the prior year's condensed financial statements have been reclassified. Non-cash transactions of $256 thousand have been excluded from prior period investment purchases and collections on the condensed statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation.

        Non-cash investment exchanges and modifications, which primarily reflect refinancings of fixed income securities, totaled $5 millionthousand for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2002. There were no non-cash investment exchanges and modifications for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2001. New Accounting StandardMarch 31, 2003.

Adopted accounting standard

        In June 2001,November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee or modification of a previously issued guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. The provisions for initial recognition and measurement are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on either the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Pending accounting standard

        In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting StandardStandards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other Intangible Assets", which eliminates the requirement to amortize goodwill,contracts and requires that goodwillfor hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and separately identified intangible assets with indefinite lives be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) on a fair value basis.Hedging Activities". The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002 and as a result,is currently in the Company's 2001 results do not reflectprocess of evaluating the impact of this statement on the non-amortization provisionsCondensed Statements of SFAS No. 142. Had the Company adopted the non-amortization provisions on January 1, 2001, the impact would have been immaterial to Net income (unamortized goodwill was $160 thousand at September 30, 2002). During the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed the initial goodwill impairment test required by SFAS No. 142Operations and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. The Company utilized several widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow and market multiple and trading analyses, to estimate the fair value of its acquired businesses. Pending Accounting StandardFinancial Position.

Exposure drafts

        On July 31, 2002, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued an exposure draft Statement of Position ("SOP") entitled "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts". The accounting guidance contained in the proposed SOP applies to several of the Company's products and product features. The proposed effective date of the SOP is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003, with earlier adoption encouraged. Initial application shouldIf adopted early, the provisions of the SOP must be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year; therefore,year. Accordingly, if the SOP were adopted during an interim period of 2003, prior interim periods shouldwould be restated. Most provisionsA provision of the proposed SOP will have a minimal impact to the Company. With respect to guaranteed minimum income benefits (contract features that guarantee a minimum amount for annuitization), the Company's policy of not recognizing any liability during the accumulation phase is consistent with the SOP. However, a provision that requires the establishment of a liability in addition to the account balance for contracts and contract features that containprovide guaranteed death or other insurance benefits, whichbenefits. The final SOP may also require a liability for guaranteed income benefits. These liabilities are not currently recognized as a liability by the Company, and their establishment may have a material impact on the condensed statementCondensed Statements of operations Operations

depending on the market conditions at the time of adoption. Contractsadoption, but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Statements of Financial Position.

        The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued Topic No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments", which attempts to define other-than-temporary impairment and highlight its application to investment securities accounted for under either the cost or equity method under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". The issue summary, which has yet to be finalized, proposes that if, at the evaluation date, the fair value of an investment security is less than its carrying value then an impairment exists for which a determination must be made as to whether that impairment is other-than-temporary. The impairment would likely be affected by this provision ofconsidered other-than-temporary if the SOP are thoseinvestment's carrying value exceeds its fair value for a period exceeding one year or more. If it is determined that specify that the amounts assessed against the contractholder each period for the insurance benefit feature are not proportionatean impairment is other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss should be recognized equal to the insurance coverage provided fordifference between the period. These contract provisions are commonly referredinvestment's carrying value and its fair value at the reporting date. The estimated impact to the Company's Condensed Statements of Operations and Financial Position is not determinable until such time as guaranteed minimum death benefits. a final consensus is reached.

2.    Reinsurance

        The Company purchases reinsurance to limit aggregate and single losses on large risks. The Company alsocontinues to have primary liability as the direct insurer for risks reinsured. Estimating amounts of reinsurance recoverable is impacted by the uncertainties involved in the establishment of loss reserves. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company cedes a portion of the mortality risk on certain term life policies with a pool of non-affiliated reinsurers. TheAdditionally, the Company continueshas a reinsurance agreement through which it primarily cedes re-investment related risk on its structured settlement annuities to have primary liability asALIC. Under the direct insurer for risks reinsured. Theterms of the agreement, the Company followspays a comprehensive evaluation process involving credit scoring and capacitypremium to select reinsurers. Estimating amountsALIC that varies with the aggregate structured settlement annuity reserve balance. In return, ALIC guarantees that the yield on the portion of reinsurance recoverable is impacted by the uncertainties involved in the establishment of reserves for contract benefits. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company.Company's investment portfolio that supports structured settlement annuity liabilities will not fall below contractually determined rates.

        Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated based upon assumptions consistent with those used in establishing the liabilities related to the underlying reinsured contracts. The Company has reinsurance agreements with its parent, ALIC, to reinsure a portion of its premiums, contract charges and contract benefits. No single non-affiliate reinsurer had a material obligation to the Company nor is the Company's business substantially dependent upon any reinsurance contract. The effects of reinsurance on Premiumspremiums and Contractcontract charges and Contract benefits wereare as follows:

3.    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Regulation, and Legal Proceedings and Guarantees

Regulation

The Company's businessCompany is subject to the effects of a changing social, economic and regulatory environment.conditions. State and federal regulatory initiatives and proceedings have varied and have included employee benefit regulations, removal ofefforts to remove barriers preventing banks from engaging in the securities and insurance businesses, to change tax law changeslaws affecting the taxation of insurance companies and the tax treatment of insurance products and itswhich may impact on the relative desirability of various personal investment vehiclesproducts and theto expand overall expansion of regulation. The ultimate changes and eventual effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

Legal proceedings

        The Company sells its products through a variety of distribution channels including Allstate agencies. Consequently, the outcome of some legal proceedings that involve AIC regarding the Allstate agencies may have an impact on the Company.

        AIC is defending various lawsuits involving worker classification issues. Examples of these lawsuits include a number of putative class actions challenging the overtime exemption claimed by AIC under the Fair Labor Standards Act or state wage and hour laws. These class actions mirror similar lawsuits filed recently against other carriers in the industry and other employers. Another example involves the worker classification of staff working in agencies. In this putative class action, plaintiffs seek damages under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act alleging that agency secretaries were terminated as employees by AIC and rehired by agencies throughthough outside staffing vendors for the purpose of avoiding the payment of employee benefits. A putative nationwide class action filed by former employee agents also includes a worker classification issue; these agents are challenging certain amendments to the Agents Pension Plan and are seeking to have exclusive agent independent contractors treated as employees for benefit purposes. AIC has been vigorously defending these and various other worker classification lawsuits. The outcome of these disputes is currently uncertain. In addition, on August 6, 2002, a petition was filed with the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") by the United Exclusive Allstate Agents, Office and Professional Employees International Union, seeking certification as the collective bargaining representative of all Allstate agents in the United States. AIC is opposing the petition on a number of grounds, including that the agents are independent contractors and, therefore, the NLRB lacks jurisdiction over the issue. The outcome is currently uncertain.

        AIC is also defending certain matters relating to its agency program reorganization announced in 1999. These matters include an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor and a lawsuit filed in December 2001 by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") with respect to allegations of retaliation under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. A putative nationwide class action has also been filed by former employee agents alleging various violations of ERISA, breach of contract and age discrimination. AIC has been vigorously defending these lawsuits and other matters related to its agency program reorganization. In addition, AIC is defending certain matters relating to its life agency program reorganization announced in 2000. These matters

include an investigation by the EEOC with respect to allegations of age discrimination and retaliation. AIC is cooperating fully with the agency investigation and will continue to vigorously defend these and other claims related to the life agency program reorganization. The outcome of these disputes is currently uncertain. The court has approved a settlement, which is not material, in a previously reported, statewide class action that alleged that ALIC violated insurance statues in the sale of credit insurance. 8 ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

        Various other legal and regulatory actions are currently pending that involve AICthe Company and specific aspects of its conduct of business. Like other members of the insurance industry, the Company is the potential target of an increasing number of class action lawsuits and other types of litigation, some of which involve claims for substantial and/or indeterminate amounts (including punitive and treble damages) and the outcomes of which are unpredictable. This litigation is based on a variety of issues including insurance and claim settlement practices. However, at this time, based on their present status, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate liability, if any, in one or more of these other actions in excess of amounts currently reserved is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, liquidity or financial position of the Company.

Guarantees

        In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard indemnifications to counterparties in contracts in connection with numerous transactions, including indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties, taxes and certain other liabilities, such as third party lawsuits. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and were entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration and nature. In many cases, the maximum obligation is not explicitly stated and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. Because the obligated amounts of the indemnifications are not explicitly stated in many cases, the maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications is not determinable. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these obligations.

        In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors, officers, non-officer employees and other individuals to the extent provided in its charter and by-laws. Since these indemnifications are generally not subject to limitation with respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount due under these indemnifications.

        The aggregate liability balance related to all guarantees was not material as of March 31, 2003.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York:

        We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of financial position of Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company", an affiliate of The Allstate Corporation) as of March 31, 2003, and the related condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

        We conducted our review 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed 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 statement of financial position of Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein. In our report dated February 5, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 AND 2001

The following discussion highlights significant factors influencing results of operations and changes in financial position of Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company"). It should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and related notes thereto found under Part I. Item 1. contained herein and with the discussion, analysis, financial statements and notes thereto in Part I. Item 1. and Part II. Item 7. and Item 8. of the Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, which includes a discussion of the Company's Critical Accounting Policies.2002. To conform withto the 20022003 and year-end 20012002 presentation, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified. OVERVIEW The Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company ("ALIC"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company ("AIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Allstate Corporation (the "Corporation"), markets a diversified group of products to meet consumers' lifetime needs in the areas of protection and retirement solutions in the state of New York through Allstate agencies, financial services firms, direct marketing and specialized brokers. The Company's products include term life insurance; whole life insurance; annuities such as fixed deferred annuities, market value adjusted annuities and treasury-linked annuities; variable deferred annuities; immediate annuities; and other protection products such as accidental death and hospital indemnity. The Company

Management has identified itselfthe Company as a single segment entity.

The assets and liabilities related to variable annuity contracts are legally segregated and reflected as Separate Accounts. The assets of the Separate Accounts are carried at fair value. Separate Accounts liabilities represent the contractholders' claims to the related assets and are carried at the fair value of the assets. Investment income and realized capital gains and losses of the Separate Accounts accrue directly to the contractholders and thereforefollowing discussion uses some "non-GAAP" measures that are not included in the Company's condensed statements of operations. Revenues to the Company from the Separate Accounts consist of contract maintenance and administration fees and mortality, surrender and expense charges. Absent any contract provision wherein the Company guarantees either a minimum return or account value upon death, variable annuity contractholders bear the investment risk that the Separate Accounts' funds may not meet their stated objectives. 11 ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Summarized financial data and key operating measures as liabilities, rather than as revenue. Statutory accounting practices,of and for the Company's definition of statutory premiums and deposits, differ in material aspects from GAAP. The Company's method of calculating statutory premiums and deposits may also be different from the method used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Declines in the sales of immediate annuities with life contingencies were due to a change in the mix of immediate annuities sold and due to market conditions. The decline in traditional life premiums is related to the Company entering into a reinsurance agreement for certain of its direct marketing credit life insurance products and lower term life insurance premiums. Total contract charges increased 27.4% during the third quarter of 2002, and 22.6% for the first nine months of 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001 due to growth in interest-sensitive life account values in force and contract charge rate increases. Contract charges on variable annuities, which are generally calculated as a percentage of each account value, increased 17.1% and 15.8% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively, as a result of competitive pricing in the New York market. Fixed annuity sales were driven by increased sales through financial institutions and new products such the Allstate® Treasury Linked Annuity.

        Operating income, a result of equity market declines. Operating income Operating incomenon-GAAP measure, is a measure used by the Company's management to evaluate profitability. Operating income is defined as Income before the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, after-tax, and excluding the after-tax effects of realized capital gains and losses. In this management measure, the effects of realized capital gains and losses and certain other items have been excluded due to the volatility between periods and because such data is often excluded when evaluating the overall financial performance and profitability of insurers. These operating results should not be considered as a substitute for any GAAP measure of performance. A reconciliation of operating income to net income is providedpresented in the table on page 12. The Company's method of calculating operating income may be different from the method used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. 14 ITEM 2.

Management actions taken in 2001 and 2002 to reduce crediting rates where contractually allowedon in-force contracts have partially offset the impact of declining portfolio yields on the investment margin. However, investment margins on certain life-contingent contracts and other products with guaranteed crediting rates are compressed in a declining interest rate environment. This is due to the level and duration of the guaranteed rates on these products compared to the declining yield on invested assets supporting them. In addition, assets in the Company's portfolio that do not support specific products further compress the investment margin ofin a declining interest rate environment as they earn lower investment yields.

        Mortality margin, which represents premiums and cost of insurance charges less related policy benefits, increased 623.0%was 18.7% lower in the thirdfirst quarter of 2002 and 89.8% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same periods last year. The mortality margins in the third quarter and first nine months of 2001 reflect the impact of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. New premiums and cost of insurance contract charges on new business have improved the mortality margin compared to the same periods in the prior year. Mortality and morbidity loss experience can cause benefit payments to fluctuate from period to period while underwriting and pricing guidelines are based on a long-term view of the trends in mortality and morbidity. Variable annuities have contract provisions that provide a benefit of a minimum account value at death, which are referred to as guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"). In addition, certain variable annuity contracts have provisions that provide for a future minimum income annuitization value used to determine the contractholder's payout benefits, which are referred to as guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs"). At any point in time, the value or amount of these guarantees is dependent upon the investment performance of the underlying Separate Accounts, and is not proportional to the amount of periodic fees assessed against the contractholder for these benefits. The Company is responsible for meeting these guaranteed benefits and receives any fees assessed for these benefits. Net cash payments for GMDBs were $702 thousand and $2.0 million for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. This compares to net cash payments of $252 thousand and $545 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001. The aggregate amount of the Company's GMDB in excess of the related account values, payable if all contractholders were to have died as of September 30, 2002, is estimated to be $237.0 million compared to $120.5 million at December 31, 2001. As of September 30, 2002, approximately two-thirds of this exposure is related to the return of customer deposits while the remaining one-third is attributable to some form of enhanced death benefit greater than customer deposits. 15 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 Amortization of DAC for the Company is dependent on the nature of the insurance contract and requires judgment on both the period and rate of amortization. DAC amortization periods for products with significant mortality or morbidity risk are determined when the products are sold, and are related to the periods in which premiums are received on these products. Amortization is recognized in proportion to the pattern of expected gross profits for interest-sensitive life insurance and investment products, which is dependent on expected investment returns and product profitability experience and the estimated lives of the contracts. The recoverability of DAC on interest-sensitive life insurance and certain investment products is reviewed regularly in the aggregate, using current assumptions. The average lives of the contracts are considerably shorter than the stated amortization period due to withdrawals, surrenders and other policy terminations. The average long-term rate of assumed future investment yield of the Separate Accounts assets related to variable annuity contracts used in estimating expected gross margin is 8.0% after fees. When market returns vary from the 8% long-term expectation or mean, the Company assumes a reversion to this mean over a seven-year period, which includes two prior years and five future years. The assumed returns over this period are limited to a range between 0% and 13.25% after fees. The steep and sustained decline in the equity markets for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 resulted in accelerated DAC amortization (called "DAC unlocking") on variable annuities, totaling $6.9 million in the third quarter. Improved persistency on fixed annuities partially offset the variable annuity DAC unlocking, for a net pre-tax acceleration of DAC amortization adjustment of $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2002. Future volatility in the equity markets of similar or greater magnitude may result in non-symmetrical increases or decreases in the amortization of DAC. The following table summarizes the DAC asset balance by product.
Amortization September 30, December 31, (in thousands) Period 2002 2001 ---------------- ------------------- ----------------- Traditional Life 7-30 year $ 30,838 $ 27,757 Other various 3,345 3,946 ------------------- ----------------- 34,183 31,703 Interest-sensitive life 30 years 58,818 59,574 Fixed annuity 15 years 11,245 14,701 Variable annuity 15 years 58,972 50,637 ------------------- ----------------- 129,035 124,912 ------------------- ----------------- Total DAC $ 163,218 $ 156,615 =================== =================
DAC amortization increased $9.9 million during the third quarter of 2002 and $14.4 million during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same periods of 2001 due DAC unlocking in the third quarter of 2002 and ongoing growth of the business in force. Operating costs and expenses increased 8.2% during the third quarter of 2002 and 14.4% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001 due to distribution expenses incurred on new growth initiatives and increased administrative expenses. Net investment income Pretax net investment income increased 15.2% in the third quarter of 20022003 compared to the same period in 2002 as 2002 results benefited from lower death benefits and reinsurance recoverables arising from the tragic events of September 11, 2001. ForPolicy benefits paid include cash payments on variable annuity products for guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB") totaling $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The GMDB payments in the first nine monthsquarter of 2002, pretax net investment income2003 were $0.4 million more than payments of $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. The increase in GMDB payments reflects poor equity market performance since the first quarter of 2002.

        Amortization of DAC increased 13.7%245.5% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period last year.in 2002 due to continued growth of business inforce and the deceleration of DAC amortization by $2.6 

16


million in the first quarter of 2002 as a result of changes in assumptions used in the Company's DAC amortization models. DAC is subject to recoverability testing at the end of each reporting period. The Company performs its evaluation on an aggregated basis consistent with the nature of the underlying products. Fixed annuities, variable annuities, and interest-sensitive life insurance products are aggregated for purposes of evaluating DAC recoverability. DAC is amortized on these products with interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits ("EGP"). The most significant assumptions involved in estimating future gross profits include expected Separate Accounts fund performance after fees, surrender rates, lapse rates, and investment and mortality margins. The Company's long-term expectation of Separate Accounts fund performance after fees is approximately 8%, which is consistent with its pricing assumptions. Whenever actual Separate Accounts fund performance based on the two most recent years varies from the 8% expectation, the Company projects performance levels over the next five years such that the mean return over that seven year period equals the long-term 8% expectation. This process is commonly referred to as a reversion to the mean.

        In evaluating the assumptions used to amortize DAC for investment and interest-sensitive life products, the Company's historical practice has been to perform a comprehensive evaluation during the first quarter of each calendar year and to revise its best estimate assumptions based on historical results and revised expectations about future performance. Any resulting DAC unlocking adjustments are reflected currently in the condensed financial statements. In the ensuing quarters, the assumptions are re-evaluated and revised whenever those revisions would have a material impact on the results of operations of the Company.

        In the first quarter of 2003, the Company performed its annual comprehensive evaluation of DAC assumptions and concluded that, due to sustained poor performance of the equity markets coupled with an expectation of moderate future performance due to continuing weakness in the U.S. economy and uncertainty in the geopolitical environment, it was no longer reasonably possible that variable annuity fund returns would revert to the expected long-term mean within the time horizon used in the Company's reversion to the mean model. As a result, the Company unlocked its DAC assumptions as of March 31, 2003 for all investment products, including variable and fixed annuities, and interest-sensitive life products, to be consistent across all product lines. Prospectively, the Company will continue to evaluate these assumptions in this manner.

        The unlocking of DAC assumptions in the first quarter resulted in an aggregate acceleration of DAC amortization amounting to $325 thousand before tax. The most significant assumption changes were resetting the variable annuity reversion to the mean calculation as of March 31, 2003, such that future equity market performance during the five year reversion period was reduced from 13.25% after fees to the long-term assumed return of 8% after fees. The Company will continue to employ a seven-year reversion evaluation process in succeeding periods with an assumed long-term return after fees of 8%, a reversion to the mean floor of 0% and a revised cap of 12.75%.

        Operating costs and expenses decreased 4.1% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002. Increased expenses related to employee benefit costs including pension expenses were offset by decreased premium taxes and fees.

INVESTMENT RESULTS

        Pre-tax Net investment income increased 16.4% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The increase was due to higher investmentportfolio balances resulting from positive cash flows from operating and financing activities, partially offset by slightly lower portfolio yields. Lower portfolio yields were due to funds from operations and reinvestmentsnew investments being made at rates lower than current portfolio yields as a result of the low interest rate environment. The portfolio balance, excluding assets invested at current market rates. At September 30, 2002 investment balances, excludingin Separate Accounts and unrealized net unrealizedcapital gains and losses on fixed income securities, increased 22.8% compared to September 30, 2001. 16 ITEM 2.

        As of March 31, 2003, the Corporate fixed income portfolios. The Company monitors the quality of its fixed income portfolio, in part, by categorizing certain investments as problem, restructured, or potential problem. Problem fixed income securities are generally securities in default with respect to principal and/or interest and/or securities issued by companies that have entered bankruptcy subsequent to the Company's acquisition of the security. Restructured fixed income securities have modified terms and conditions that were not reflective of current market rates or terms at the time of the restructuring. Potential problem fixed income securities are current with respect to contractual principal and/or interest, but because of other facts and circumstances, the Company has concerns regarding the borrower's ability to pay future interest and principal in accordance with contractual terms, which causes the Company to believe these securities may be classified as problem or restructured in the future. Provisions for losses are recognized for declines in value of fixed income securities that are deemed other than temporary. The following table summarizes the balances of problem and potential problem fixed income securities.

18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 The Company has experienced an increase in its balance of fixed income securities categorizedthat the Company categorizes as problem or potential problem increased from the balance as of September 30, 2002 compared to December 31, 2001.year-end 2002. The increase in potential problem assets primarily resulted from poor operating fundamentals as well as liquidity constraints in the transportation sector of the market in 2003. The Company had noexpects the eventual recovery of these securities but evaluated each security through its watch list process at March 31, 2003 and recorded write-downs where appropriate. Approximately $5.3 million of net unrealized losses at March 31, 2003 are related to securities that the Company has included in the problem or potential problem categories. These securities represent 0.8% of the fixed income securities categorized as restructured at September 30, 2002 or December 31, 2001. Due to the continued declining economic and market conditions during 2002, thereportfolio. The Company concluded, through its watch list monitoring process, that these unrealized losses were temporary in nature. While it is potentialpossible for these balances to increase in the future butif economic conditions continue to be unfavorable, the total amount of securities in these categories areis expected to remain a relatively low percentage of the total fixed income securities portfolio. In October 2002, the corporate bond market experienced the fifth worst month on record for downgrades according to Moody's Investor Service. Accordingly, securities in which the Company has holdings, may have been adversely affected. These downgrades are indicative of a continued difficult credit environment that may lead to increased recognition of realized capital losses from investment write-downs and sales activities in subsequent periods. The Company has an monitoring process to identifyhad no fixed income securities whose carrying value may be other than temporarily impaired. This process includes a quarterly review of all securities using a screening process to identify those securities whose fair value compared to amortized cost is below established thresholdscategorized as restructured at March 31, 2003 or are identified through other monitoring criteria such as ratings downgrades or payment defaults. Securities with an unrealized loss greater than 20% of their amortized cost for fixed income securities for a period of six consecutive months or more are identified through this process. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which the Company may have concern, or securities considered to be problem, restructured or potential problem securities, are evaluated based on facts and circumstances for inclusion on the "watchlist." Securities on the watchlist are reviewed in detail to determine whether any other than temporary impairment exists. The Company writes down to fair value a security that is classified as other than temporarily impaired in the period the security is deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. The assessment of other than temporary impairment is performed on a case-by-case basis considering a wide range of factors. Inherent in the Company's evaluation of a particular security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary are: o The Company's ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in value; o The duration for and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost for fixed income securities; o The financial condition, near-term prospects and long-term prospects of the issuer; and o The specific reasons that a security is in a significant unrealized loss position.December 31, 2002.

The Company recorded, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, $319 thousand in net gains from sales of securities, which is comprised of gross gains of $6.7 million and gross losses of $6.4 million. Gross losses from sales of securities of $6.4 million which, combined with investment write-downs of $13.7 million, represent the total gross realized losses of $20.1 million on fixed income securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The $6.4 million in losses from sales of fixed income securities primarily related to a decision to reduce exposure to certain holdings due to severely constrained liquidity conditions in the market and reductions of exposure to deteriorating credits.

19 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 The following list details the five largest losses from write-downs by issuer, the related circumstances giving rise to the loss and a discussion of how those circumstances may have impacted other material investments held. o A $6.96 million write-down on a global energy company and power generator, which missed coupon payments in September due to severely constrained liquidity. o A $1.88 million write-down on senior unsecured securities issued by a seismic data and related geophysical services company that has been experiencing liquidity pressures. The circumstances of this impairment are not expected to have a material impact on the other investments. o A $1.66 million write-down on securities issued by a major U.S. airline that filed for bankruptcy. We have no other securities of this issuer and currently expect to hold our existing positions until they recover in value or mature. The U.S. airline industry is under stress and we are monitoring our investments in airlines closely, particularly with regard to collateral values. o A $1.43 million write-down on collateralized debt obligation notes. The loss resulted from the decline in value of the portfolio of high-yield bonds securing the notes. o A $1.26 million write-down on a major U.S. airline that may file for bankruptcy. The loss primarily relates to an unsecured issue whose collateral value is insufficient. There are a number of risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of monitoring impairments and determining if an impairment is other than temporary. These risks and uncertainties include the risks that: o The economic outlook is worse than anticipated and has a greater adverse impact on a particular issuer than anticipated; o The Company's assessment of a particular issuer's ability to meet all of its contractual obligations changes; and o New information is obtained or facts and circumstances change that cause a change in the Company's ability or intent to hold a security to maturity or until it recovers in value. These risks and uncertainties could result in a charge to earnings in future periods to the extent that losses are realized. The charge to earnings would not have a significant impact on Shareholder's equity since the majority of the portfolio is held at fair value and as a result, the related unrealized gain (loss), net of tax, is currently reflected as Accumulated other comprehensive income in Shareholder's equity. Separate Accounts Separate Accounts assets and liabilities decreased 15.2% to $511.2 million at September 30, 2002 from December 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to declines in the fair value of the Separate Accounts investment portfolios due to equity market conditions, surrenders and withdrawals and expense charges, partially offset by sales of variable annuity contracts and transfers from the fixed account contract option to variable Separate Accounts funds. 20 ITEM 2.

Debt The Company had no outstanding debt at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Financial Ratings and Strength Insurance financial strength ratings are an important factor in establishing the competitive positionto Net income of insurance companies and generally may be expected to have an effect on an insurance company's sales. On an ongoing basis, rating agencies review the financial performance and condition of insurers. A multiple level downgrade, while not expected, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.$5.7 million.

Liquidity

        The Company's insurance financial strength was rated Aa2, AA+, and A+ by Moody's, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively, at September 30, 2002. In October 2002, Standard & Poor's affirmed its ratings and its negative outlook for ALIC and its rated subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Company. The outlook had been changed in February 2002 from "stable" to "negative" as part of an ongoing life insurance industry review being conducted by Standard & Poor's. Since December 31, 2001, there have been no ratings changes for ALIC or the Company from A.M. Best or Moody's. Liquidity The principal, potential sources of funds for the Company include the following activities: Premiums and deposits Reinsurance recoveries Receipts of principal, interest and dividends on investments Sales of investments Capital contributions from ALIC Inter-company loans The principal, potential uses of funds for the Company include the following activities: Payment of contract benefits, maturities, surrenders and withdrawals Reinsurance cessions and payments Operating expenses Purchase of investments Repayment of inter-company loans Dividends to ALIC Management believes thatoperations typically generate substantial positive cash flows from operating and investing activitiesoperations as most premiums are received in advance of the Companytime when claim and benefit payments are adequaterequired.

        A portion of the Company's diversified product portfolio, primarily fixed annuities and interest-sensitive life insurance products, is subject to discretionary surrenders and withdrawals byat the discretion of contractholders. Total surrenders and withdrawals for the three month period and nine month period ended September 30, 2002 were $45.5 million and $127.7 million compared with $27.1 million and $75.8 million for the same periods last year.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

        This document contains "forward-looking statements" that anticipate results based on management's estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. These statements are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-lookingThe Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.

        These forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may be identified by their use of words like "plans," "expects," "will," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "believes," "likely," and other words with similar meanings. These statements may address, among other things, the Company's strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market position, expenses, financial results and reserves. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations of future events. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be accurate. However, managementManagement believes that our forward-lookingthese statements are based on reasonable current expectationsestimates, assumptions and assumptions. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new informationplans. However, if the estimates, assumptions or future events or developments. Ifplans underlying the expectations or assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements prove inaccurate or if other risks or uncertainties arise, actual results could differ materially from those communicated in these forward-looking statements. In addition to the normal risks of business, the Company is subject to significant risk factors,risks and uncertainties, including those listed below which apply to it as an insurance business and a provider of other financial services. o New York requires insurers to participate in guaranty funds for impaired or insolvent insurance companies. Such funds periodically assess losses to all insurance companies doing business in the state. These assessments may be material to the Company's financial results. o There is uncertainty involved in estimating the availability of non-affiliate reinsurance and the collectibility of reinsurance and recoverables. This uncertainty arises from a number of factors, including whether losses meet the qualifying conditions of the reinsurance contracts and if the reinsurers have the financial capacity and willingness to pay. o Currently, the Corporation is examining the potential exposure of its insurance operations to acts of terrorism. The Corporation is also examining how best to address this exposure considering the interests of policyholders, shareholders, the lending community, regulators and others. The Company's life insurance policies and annuities do not have exclusions for terrorist events. In the event that a terrorist act occurs, the Company may be adversely impacted, depending on the nature of the event. With respect to the Company's investment portfolio, in the event that commercial insurance coverage for terrorism becomes unavailable or too expensive, there could be significant adverse impacts on some portion of the Company's portfolio, particularly in sectors such as airlines and real estate. For example, certain debt obligations might be adversely affected due to the inability to obtain coverage to restore the related real estate or other property, thereby creating the potential for increased default risk. o Changes in market interest rates can have an adverse impact on the value of the investment portfolio, investment income, product sales, results of operations and retention of existing business. Increasing market interest rates have an adverse impact on the value of the investment portfolio, for example, by decreasing the fair values of fixed income securities. Declining market interest rates could have an adverse impact on the Company's investment income as the Company reinvests proceeds from positive cash flows from operations and proceeds from maturities, calls and repayments of investments into new investments that could be yielding less than the portfolio's average rate. 22 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 o Changes in interest rates could also reduce the profitability of the Company's spread-based products, particularly interest-sensitive life insurance and investment products, as the difference between the amount that the Company is required to pay on such products and the rate of return earned on the related investments could be reduced. Changes in market interest rates as compared to rates offered on some of the Company's products could make those products less attractive if competitive investment margins are not maintained, leading to lower sales and/or changes in the level of surrenders and withdrawals for these products. The Company's products generally have the flexibility to adjust crediting rates to reflect higher or lower investment returns. However, this flexibility is limited by contractual minimum crediting rates. Additionally, unanticipated surrenders could cause acceleration of amortization of DAC or impact the recoverability of DAC and thereby increase expenses and reduce current period profitability. The Company seeks to limit its exposure to this risk by offering a diverse group of products, periodically reviewing and revising crediting rates and providing for surrender charges in the event of early withdrawal. o

20


    The Company amortizes DAC related to variable annuities, fixed annuities and interest-sensitive life insurance and investment contracts in proportion to gross profitsEGP over the estimated lives of the contracts. Periodically, the Company updates the assumptions underlying the estimated future gross profits,EGP, which include estimated futuremargins from mortality, including GMDB and guaranteed minimum income benefits, investment margin, including realized capital gains and losses, contract administration, surrender and other contract charges, investment margins andless maintenance expenses, in order to reflect actual and expected experience and its potential impact to the valuation of DAC. Updates to these assumptions could result in an adjustment to the cumulative amortization of DAC. For example, reduced estimated future gross profitsEGP resulting from declines in contract charges assessed against declining Separate Accounts' balances resulting from poor equity market performance could result in accelerated amortization of DAC. An adjustment, if any, may have a material effect on the results of operations. o

RISK FACTORS

        The following risk factor should be considered in addition to the risk factors identified in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 10-K filed on March 28, 2003.

    When analyzing fixed income securities for the existence of other-than-temporary impairment, the Company focuses on those securities for which the amortized cost exceeds the securities' fair value by 20% or more. This practice is based on the assumption that a difference of less than 20% is generally indicative of impairment that is temporary. The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF"), a task force that assists the FASB in identifying, discussing, and resolving accounting and reporting issues within the framework of existing authoritative accounting literature, is currently deliberating Issue No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The EITF may conclude that, whenever the amortized cost of a security exceeds its fair value, impairment is deemed to exist and, if the situation persists for a period of one year or more, the impairment should be considered "other than temporary". In the event the EITF reaches this tentative conclusion, the Company would be required to recognize certain pre-tax unrealized losses as realized losses. The estimated impact to the Company's Condensed Statements of decreasing Separate Accounts balances resultingOperations and Financial Position is not determinable until such time as a final consensus is reached.

NON-GAAP AND OPERATING MEASURES

        In addition to information presented in the condensed financial statements, the Company uses some "non-GAAP" measures that are not based on GAAP. Management believes that investor understanding of the Company's performance is enhanced by the disclosure of these measures. The Company's method of calculating these measures may differ from volatile market conditions, underlying fund performancethat used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Non-GAAP Measure

        Operating income is Net income excluding the effects of Realized capital gains and losses, after-tax. Management uses this measure in its evaluation of results of operations and believes that this information provides investors with a more complete analysis when considered along with Net income. This is because Operating income shows the trends in our business separate from the net effect of Realized capital gains and losses, which are generally driven by business decisions that are independent of the insurance underwriting process and may vary significantly between periods. In addition, investors often separately evaluate such data when reviewing the performance of distributors could cause contract charges earned byinsurers. In this computation, the Companynet effect of Realized capital gains and losses, after-tax, includes that portion of DAC amortization, only to decreasethe extent that it resulted from the recognition of Realized capital gains and leadlosses. Net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The following table reconciles Operating income to an increaseNet income for the first quarter of exposure to pay guaranteed minimum death2003 and income benefits and could also result in increased statutory reserves for these benefits, leading to a reduction2002.

Operating Measure

        Management believes that investors' understanding of the Company's statutory capitalperformance is enhanced by disclosure of the following operating financial measure. The Company's method of calculating this measure may differ from that used by other companies and surplus. In addition, ittherefore comparability may be limited.

        Premiums and deposits is possible that the assumptions and projectionsan operating measure used by the Company in establishing pricesCompany's management to analyze production trends for the guaranteed minimum death benefitssales. Premiums and guaranteed minimum income benefitsdeposits includes premiums on variable annuities, particularly assumptionsinsurance policies and projections about investment performance, do not accurately anticipate the level of costs the Company will ultimately incur in providing those benefits, resulting in adverse mortality margin trends that may have a material effect on results of operations. o Conditions in the U.S. and international stock markets can have an impact on the Company's variable annuity sales. In general, sales of variable annuities increase when the stock markets are rising over an extended period of time and decrease when stock markets are falling over an extended period of time. o In order to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements of its obligations to policyholders, from time to time the Company manages the effective duration gap between investments and liabilities for contractholder funds and reserves for life-contingent contract benefits. Adjustments made to modify durations may have an impact on the value of the investment portfolio, investment income, interest credited to contractholder funds and the investment margin. o Management believes the reserves for life-contingent contract benefits are adequate to cover ultimate policy benefits, despite the underlying risks and uncertainties associated with their determination when payments will not be made until well into the future. Reserves are based on many assumptions and estimates, including estimated premiums to be received over the assumed life of the policy, the timing of the event covered by the insurance policy, the amount of contract benefits to be paid and the investment returns on the assets purchased with the premiums received. The Company periodically reviews and revises its estimates. If future experience differs from assumptions, it may have a material impact on results of operations. o Under current U.S. tax law and regulations, deferred and immediate annuities, and life insurance, including interest-sensitive products, are accorded favorable policyholder tax treatment. Any legislative or regulatory changes that adversely alter this treatment are likely to negatively affect the demand for these products. In addition, recent changes in the federal estate tax laws may reduce the demand for the types of life insurance used in estate planning. 23 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 o The Company is affiliated with various entities registered under the federal securities laws as broker-dealers, investment advisers and/or investment companies. These entities are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers and/or, in some cases, state securities administrators. The laws regulating the securities products and activities of the entities are complex, numerous and subject to change. As with any highly regulated industry, there is some degree of risk of regulatory non-compliance; however the Company has in place various legal and compliance personnel, procedures and systems designed to reasonably assure compliance with these requirements. o The Company distributes its products under agreements with other members of the financial services industry that are not affiliated with the Company. Termination of one or more of these agreements due to, for example, changes in control of any of these entities, could have a detrimental effect on the Company's sales. This risk may be exacerbated due to the enactment of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which eliminated many federal and state law barriers to affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurersall deposits and other financial service providers. o The events of September 11, 2001, and the resulting disruption in the financial markets revealed weaknesses in the physical and operational infrastructure that underlies the U.S. and worldwide financial systems. Those weaknesses did not impair the Company's liquidity in the wake of September 11, 2001. However, if an event of similar or greater magnitude occurred in the future and if the weaknesses in the physical and operational infrastructure of the U.S. and worldwide financial systems are not remedied, the Company could encounter significant difficulties in transferring funds buying and selling securities and engaging in other financial transactions that support its liquidity. o While positive operating cash flows are expected to continue to meet the Corporation's liquidity requirements, the Corporation's liquidity could be constrained by a catastrophereceived from customers on deposit-type products which results in extraordinary losses, a downgrade of the Corporation's current long-term debt rating of A1 and A+ (from Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively) to non-investment grade status of below Baa3/BBB-, a downgrade of AIC's insurance financial strength rating from Aa2, AA and A+ (from Moody's, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively) to below Baa/BBB/B, or a downgrade in ALIC's or the Company's insurance financial strength rating from Aa2, AA+ and A+ (from Moody's, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively) to below Aa3/AA-/A-. In the event of a downgrade of the Corporation's or AIC's rating, ALIC and its subsidiaries including the Company, could also experience a similar downgrade. o Insurance financial strength ratings are an important factor in establishing the competitive position of insurance companies and generally may be expected to have an effect on an insurance company's business. On an ongoing basis, rating agencies review the financial performance and condition of insurers and could downgrade or change a company's ratings due to, for example, a decline in the value of a company's investment portfolio or increased liabilities due to additional GMDB and GMIB exposure resulting from market declines. A multiple level downgrade of the Corporation, AIC, ALIC or the Company, while not expected, could have a material adverse affect on the Company's sales, including the competitiveness of the Company's product offerings, its ability to market products, and its financial condition and results of operations. Also, the rating agencies have a variety of policies and practices regarding the relationships among ratings of affiliated entities. As such, the ratings of the Company or ALIC could be affected by changes in ratings of AIC and/or the Corporation. o State insurance regulatory authorities require insurance companies to maintain specified levels of statutory capital and surplus. In addition, competitive pressures require the Company to maintain insurance financial strength ratings. These restrictions affect the Company's ability to pay shareholder dividends to ALIC and to use its capital in other ways. o The Company currently has Separate Accounts liabilities which contain death benefit features covered by the exposure draft Statement of Position ("SOP") entitled "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate Accounts". The Company does not currently hold liabilities for death benefit features covered by the SOP. If the SOP is adopted, the Company's establishment of liabilities with respect to the contracts could have a material impact on the statement of operations; however, the market values at the time of adoption will affect the amount of the liability required. 24 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 o Portions of the non-exchange traded marketable investment securities are accounted for at fair value using internally developed, widely accepted valuation modelsunder GAAP as direct increases to liabilities, rather than as revenue.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        Based upon the Corporation's, AIC's, ALIC's and the Company's operating income, net income, assets, liabilities, shareholder's equity or debt-to-capital ratio. o Following enactmentevaluation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, federal legislation that allows mergers that combine commercial banks, insurers and securities firms, state insurance regulators have been collectively participating in a reexamination of the regulatory framework that currently governs the United States insurance business in an effort to determine the proper role of state insurance regulation in the U.S. financial services industry. In addition, members of Congress have introduced or discussed measures to permit optional federal chartering, and thus regulation, of some types of insurance business, such as life insurance and annuities. We cannot predict whether any state or federal measures will be adopted to change the nature or scope of the regulation of the insurance business or what effect any such measures would have on the Company. o The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 permits mergers that combine commercial banks, insurers and securities firms under one holding company. Until passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Glass Steagall Act of 1933 had limited the ability of banks to engage in securities-related businesses and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 had restricted banks from being affiliated with insurers. With the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, bank holding companies may acquire insurers and insurance holding companies may acquire banks. In addition, grandfathered unitary thrift holding companies, including The Allstate Corporation, may engage in activities that are not financial in nature. The ability of banks to affiliate with insurers may materially adversely affect all of the Company's product lines by substantially increasing the number, size and financial strength of potential competitors. o Like other members of the insurance industry, the Company is the potential target of an increasing number of class action lawsuits and other types of litigation based on a variety of issues, some of which involve claims for substantial and/or indeterminate amounts (including punitive and treble damages) and the outcomes of which are unpredictable. GAAP prescribes when the Company has a contingent liability and may reserve for particular risks, including litigation exposures. Therefore, results for a given period could be significantly adversely affected when a reserve is established for litigation. o In some states, mutual insurance companies can convert to a hybrid structure known as a mutual holding company. This process converts insurance companies owned by their policyholders to become stock insurance companies owned (through one or more intermediate holding companies) partially by their policyholders and partially by stockholders. Also, some states permit the conversion of mutual insurance companies into stock insurance companies (demutualization). The ability of mutual insurance companies to convert to mutual holding companies or to demutualize may materially adversely affect all of our product lines by substantially increasing competition for capital in the financial services industry. o The design of any system of controls and procedures, including internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. As a result, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. o The impact of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the business of the Company is being evaluated but cannot be completely determined at this time, particularly as it relates to split-dollar life insurance products. 25 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 Item 4. Controls and Procedures Within theconducted within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures with respect to its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and its current reports on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's quarterlyperiodic reports on Form 10-Qfiled with the Securities and its current reports on Form 8-K. "Disclosure controls and procedures" are thoseExchange Commission. However, the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Companyany design will succeed in the reports that it files or submitsachieving its stated goals under the Securities Exchange Actall potential future conditions, regardless of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

        In addition, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. 26
