Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
1.
Organization and Operations
Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., its subsidiaries and certain sponsored collateralized obligation trusts as described in Note 7. The Phoenix Companies, Inc. is a holding company and our operations are conducted through subsidiaries, principally Phoenix Life Insurance Company, or Phoenix Life, and Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd., or PXP. We have eliminated significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidating these financial statements. We have reclassified certain amounts for 2005 to conform with 2006 presentation.
We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. In preparing these financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at reporting dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results will differ from these estimates and assumptions. We employ significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of: deferred policy acquisition costs; policyholder liabilities and accruals; the valuation of intangible assets; the valuation of investments in debt and equity securities and venture capital partnerships; the valuation of deferred tax assets; pension and other postemployment benefits liabilities; and accruals for contingent liabilities. Our significant accounting policies are presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In our opinion, we have included all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Financial results for the three and six-month periods in 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 2006. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently issued accounting standards
Uncertain Tax Positions: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on measurement and classification of taxes and introduces new disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our financial position and results of operations.
Deferred Acquisition Costs: In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee, or AcSEC, of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, issued Statement of Position 05-1,Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts, or SOP 05-1. SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, or SFAS No. 97. The SOP defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. This SOP is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal
7
years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SOP 05-1 on our financial position and results of operations.
Servicing of Financial Assets: In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, or SFAS 156. SFAS 156 provides guidance on recognition and disclosure of servicing assets and liabilities and is effective beginning January 1, 2007. We do not expect our adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Accounting changes
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, or SFAS 155. SFAS 155 resolves certain issues surrounding the accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Our adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Staff Position Nos. FAS
115-1 and FAS 124-1,The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, or FSP 115-1. FSP 115-1 provides guidance as to the determination of other-than-temporarily impaired securities and requires certain financial disclosures with respect to unrealized losses. These accounting and disclosure requirements largely codify our existing practices as to other-than-temporarily impaired securities and, accordingly, our adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Share-Based Payment: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R), which requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements at the fair value of the instruments issued. While prior to the issuance of SFAS 123(R) recognition of such costs at fair value was optional, we elected to do so for all share-based compensation that we awarded after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, our adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Pro forma earnings and earnings per share, as if we had applied the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation awarded prior to December 31, 2002, follow:
Pro Forma Net Income and Earnings Per Share: | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended |
($ in millions, except per share data) | June 30, 2005 | | June 30, 2005 |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net income, as reported | | $ | 22.4 | | | | $ | 31.8 | |
Add: Employee stock option compensation expense included in net income, net of applicable income taxes | | | 0.3 | | | | | 0.5 | |
Deduct: Employee stock option compensation expense determined under fair value accounting for all awards, net of applicable income taxes | | | (1.5) | | | | | (2.8) | |
Pro forma net income | | $ | 21.2 | | | | $ | 29.5 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Basic earnings per share: | | | | | | | | | |
As reported | | $ | 0.24 | | | | $ | 0.33 | |
Pro forma | | $ | 0.22 | | | | $ | 0.31 | |
Diluted earnings per share: | | | | | | | | | |
As reported | | $ | 0.22 | | | | $ | 0.31 | |
Pro forma | | $ | 0.21 | | | | $ | 0.29 | |
All share-based compensation awarded prior to December 31, 2002 had a vesting period of three years or less and, therefore, would have been fully expensed by December 31, 2005 under the fair value method of accounting. See Note 9 to these financial statements for additional information related to share-based compensation.

Harris Investment Management, Inc.
On May 18, 2006, we entered into a strategic alliance with Harris Investment Management, Inc., or Harris, whereby we became the investment adviser, distributor and administrator of the Harris Insight(R) Funds, now known as the Phoenix Insight Funds. Harris will continue to manage the majority of the Phoenix Insight Funds as subadviser. The acquisition of the Phoenix Insight Funds added $9.7 billion to assets under management at June 30, 2006.
Phoenix National Insurance Company
Effective December 30, 2005, we sold 100% of the common stock held by us in Phoenix National Insurance Company. This transaction was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC
As a result of a step acquisition completed in 2005, PXP owns 100% of Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC, or KAR. In connection with the purchase, we issued promissory notes to the sellers in the amount of $67.0 million to finance the remainder of the acquisition, of which $9.8 million was paid on January 3, 2006. The remainder plus deferred interest is due on January 2, 2007. The interest rate on the notes is 4.75%.
Seneca Capital Management
On May 2, 2005, we completed the acquisition of the minority interest in Seneca Capital Management, or Seneca, thereby increasing our ownership to 100%. The effect of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

On January 14, 2005, we disposed of our equity interest in Aberdeen Asset Management PLC for proceeds of $70.4 million, which resulted in a $7.0 million after-tax realized investment loss.
Lombard International Assurance S.A.
On January 11, 2005, we disposed of our interests in Lombard International Assurance S.A., or Lombard, for proceeds of $59.0 million. We realized an after-tax gain of $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2005 related to this sale, including earn-out consideration received. In the first quarter of 2006, we recognized an additional $6.5 million after-tax earn-out gain and we may be entitled to additional consideration based on Lombard’s financial performance through 2006.

We are a manufacturer of insurance, annuity and asset management products for the accumulation, preservation and transfer of wealth. We provide products and services to affluent and high-net-worth individuals through their advisors and to institutions directly and through consultants. We offer a broad range of life insurance, annuity and asset management products through a variety of independent distributors. These products are managed within two reportable operating segments—Life and Annuity and Asset Management. Through December 31, 2005, we reported our remaining activities in two non-operating segments—Venture Capital and Corporate and Other. Effective January 1, 2006, the Venture Capital segment was eliminated as further described below.

The Life and Annuity segment includes individual life insurance and annuity products including participating whole life, universal life, variable universal life, term life and variable annuities. The Asset Management segment includes retail and institutional investment management and distribution, including managed accounts, open-end mutual funds and closed-end funds. We provide more information on the Life and Annuity and Asset Management segments in Notes 3 and 4, respectively, to these financial statements.
The Venture Capital segment included our equity share in the operating income and the realized and unrealized investment gains of our venture capital partnership investments held in the general account of Phoenix Life, but outside the closed block. In October 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell to a third party approximately three-quarters of the assets in our Venture Capital segment. As a result of the transaction, the Venture Capital segment was eliminated effective January 1, 2006 and earnings from the remaining assets are now allocated to the Life and Annuity segment. We provide more information on these investments in Note 5 to these financial statements. The Corporate and Other segment includes all interest expense, as well as several smaller subsidiaries and investment activities which do not meet the thresholds of reportable segments. These include our remaining international operations and the run-off of our group pension and guaranteed investment contract businesses.

During the second quarter of 2005, the Life and Annuity segment income benefited from an adjustment, or “unlocking,” of assumptions primarily related to deferred policy acquisition costs, or DAC. The unlocking was driven by revised assumptions reflecting favorable mortality experience, offset by interest rate and spread adjustments for annuities. The effects of the unlocking decreased insurance product fees by $0.3 million, increased the change in policyholder reserves by $3.5 million, increased non-deferred expenses by $0.5 million and decreased DAC amortization by $28.1 million. The net effect of the unlocking increased pre-tax segment income by $23.8 million.

Closed block
In December 1999, we began the process of reorganizing and demutualizing our then principal operating company, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company. We completed the process in June 2001, when all policyholder membership interests in this mutual company were extinguished and eligible policyholders of the mutual company received shares of common stock of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., together with cash and policy credits, as compensation. To protect the future dividends of these policyholders, we also established a closed block for their existing policies. Summary financial data for the closed block follows:

Asset Management Segment
Within Asset Management, we focus on two customer groups—retail investors and institutional clients. We provide investment management services to retail customers through open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and managed accounts. Managed accounts include intermediary programs sponsored and distributed by non-affiliated broker-dealers and direct managed accounts which are sold and administered by us. We also provide transfer agency, accounting and administrative services to our open-end mutual funds.
Through our institutional group, we provide investment management services primarily to corporations, multi-employer retirement funds and foundations, as well as to endowment and special purpose funds. In addition, we manage structured finance products, including collateralized debt obligations backed by portfolios of assets, for example, public high yield bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities or bank loans. See Note 7 to these financial statements for additional information.
Our investment management services are provided by wholly-owned managers as well as unaffiliated managers through subadvisory agreements. We provide managers with consolidated distribution and administrative support, thereby allowing each manager to focus on investment management. We monitor the quality of the managers’ products by assessing their performance, style consistency and the discipline with which they apply their investment process.

In the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a $32.5 million pre-tax impairment on $33.4 million of identified intangible assets related to certain investment contracts. This impairment resulted from lost revenues due to outflows in certain client assets under management, as well as expected additional outflows due to the termination of related management contracts. Certain intangible assets have become fully amortized during the first half of 2006 and have accordingly been removed from the above tables.

Venture capital partnerships
We record our equity in the earnings of venture capital partnerships in net investment income using the most recent financial information received from the partnerships and estimating the change in our share of partnership earnings for significant changes in equity market conditions during the quarter to eliminate any lag in reporting.

In October 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell $138.5 million of the venture capital assets held in the open block to an outside party. The first phase of the sale closed in 2005 and the remaining partnerships were sold in the first quarter of 2006. The carrying value of the funds sold in 2005 was $98.8 million (net of a $6.7 million pre-tax realized loss on partnerships to be sold in 2006) and an additional $33.5 million was sold in 2006. A pre-tax realized loss of $13.9 million was recognized in 2005 and a pre-tax gain of $3.8 million was recognized in 2006 upon completion of the sale. In connection with the transaction, the Venture Capital segment was eliminated effective January 1, 2006 and earnings from the remaining assets are now allocated to the Life and Annuity segment.

Financing Activities
Stock purchase contracts and indebtedness
In November 2002, we issued stock purchase contracts in a public offering. The stock purchase contracts were prepaid forward contracts issued by us that were settled in shares of Hilb Rogal and Hobbs company, or HRH, common stock in the fourth quarter of 2005.

During 2005, we issued $67.0 million of promissory notes in connection with our acquisition of the minority interest in Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC. The first installment of $9.8 million was paid on January 3, 2006. The remaining installment of $57.2 million plus deferred interest is due on January 2, 2007. The interest rate on the notes is 4.75%.
In December 2002, we issued 6,147,500 of 7.25% equity units in a public offering at $25 per unit for gross proceeds of $153.7 million (net proceeds of $149.1 million). Each equity unit initially consisted of an unsecured, subordinated note and a purchase contract (equity forward on our common stock collateralized by the note). On November 7, 2005, the notes were remarketed as senior unsecured obligations and the interest rate was reset to 6.675% at that time. The notes are due in February 2008. The holders of the purchase contracts were paid a contract adjustment payment at a rate of 0.65% per year through February 16, 2006. The present value of the future contract adjustment payments of $2.8 million was recorded as a charge to paid-in capital at inception. On February 16, 2006, holders of the purchase contracts purchased 17,423,839 shares of our common stock in aggregate as part of the settlement of the original transaction.

On June 6, 2006, we amended and restated our existing $150 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility, dated as of November 22, 2004 (the “Original Facility” and as so amended and restated, the “Amended Facility”). The financing commitments under the Amended Facility will terminate on June 6, 2009. The amendments to the terms of the Original Facility set forth in the Amended Facility include, but are not limited to, (i) the elimination of a $750 million limit on aggregate indebtedness, (ii) the modification of certain covenants and other provisions to permit a monetization or securitization of the closed block of specified life and annuity policies established in the Plan of Reorganization of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, and (iii) the permission of acquisitions and joint ventures which satisfy certain additional specified conditions. These conditions include, among other things, majority lender consent in the event the aggregate amount of consideration payable exceeds $400 million in respect of all acquisitions and joint ventures during the term of the agreement, excluding those to which the lenders have previously provided consent.
Certain other provisions of the Amended Facility remain unchanged from the Original Facility. Potential borrowers include The Phoenix Companies, Inc., Phoenix Life and PXP. We unconditionally guarantee any loans to Phoenix Life and PXP. Base rate loans will bear interest at the greater of Wachovia Bank, National Association’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Eurodollar rate loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage based on our Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s ratings. The Amended Facility contains a covenant that requires us at all times to maintain a minimum level of consolidated stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we are subject to a maximum consolidated debt-to-capital ratio of 30%. However, under this covenant any debt incurred in connection with any monetization or securitization of the closed block is excluded. Further, Phoenix Life must maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 250% and a minimum A.M. Best financial strength rating of “A-”.
We were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Amended Facility at June 30, 2006.
In May 2006, the $25.0 million borrowed on the revolving credit facility was paid off in full.
Common stock dividends
On April 27, 2006, we declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share, or $18.0 million, which was paid on July 11, 2006 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2006. In the prior year, we declared a dividend of $0.16 per share, or $15.2 million, on April 28, 2005 to our shareholders of record on June 13, 2005; we paid that dividend on July 11, 2005.

Investments Pledged as Collateral and Non-recourse Collateralized Obligations
We are involved with various entities in the normal course of business that are deemed to be variable interest entities and, as a result, we are deemed to hold interests in those entities. We serve as the investment adviser to seven collateralized obligation trusts that were organized to take advantage of bond market arbitrage opportunities, including the two in the table below. These seven collateralized obligation trusts are investment trusts with aggregate assets of $2.2 billion that are primarily invested in a variety of fixed income securities acquired from third parties. These collateralized obligation trusts, in turn, issued tranched collateralized obligations and residual equity securities to third parties, as well as to our principal life insurance subsidiary’s general account. The collateralized obligation trusts reside in bankruptcy remote special purpose entities for which we provide neither recourse nor guarantees. Accordingly, our sole financial exposure to these collateralized obligation trusts stems from our life insurance subsidiary’s general account direct investment in certain debt or equity securities issued by these collateralized obligation trusts and our asset management affiliates’ advisory fees. Our maximum exposure to loss with respect to our life insurance subsidiary’s direct investment in the seven collateralized obligation trusts is $24.6 million at June 30, 2006 ($0.0 million of which relates to trusts that are consolidated). Of that exposure, $15.1 million ($0.0 million of which relates to trusts that are consolidated) relates to investment grade debt securities.

Prior to September 30, 2005, we consolidated Phoenix-Mistic 2002-1 CDO, Ltd., or Mistic, which was redeemed during the third quarter of 2005. Upon redemption, this issue was liquidated and the remaining assets of the trust, in excess of remaining liabilities, were distributed to the trust’s equity investors, including our life insurance subsidiary, pro rata based upon the amounts originally invested. Liquidation of this trust resulted in a reduction to zero of all of our assets, liabilities and accumulated other comprehensive income associated with this trust, with our life insurance subsidiary’s share of the residual balance recorded to earnings.
We consolidated two collateralized obligation trusts as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, our direct investment in these two consolidated collateralized obligation trusts is $0.0 million. We recognized investment income on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral, net of interest expense on collateralized obligations and applicable minority interest of $0.4 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the consolidated collateralized obligation trusts.

Non-recourse collateralized obligations are comprised of callable collateralized obligations of $349.9 million and $371.2 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and non-recourse derivative cash flow hedge liabilities of $10.7 million (notional amount of $210.9 million with a maturity of June 2009) and $18.7 million (notional amount of $210.8 million with a maturity of June 2009) at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. There were no minority interest liabilities related to third-party equity investments in the consolidated variable interest entities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Gross unrealized losses related to debt securities pledged as collateral whose fair value is less than the amortized cost of the securities totaled $3.4 million at June 30, 2006. Debt securities with a fair value less than 80% of the security’s amortized cost totaled $2.7 million at June 30, 2006. The majority of these debt securities are investment grade issues that continue to perform to their original contractual terms at June 30, 2006.
We recognized a $0.0 million and a $1.0 million charge to earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the other-than-temporary impairment of debt securities pledged as collateral.
The effect of consolidation of the collateralized debt obligation trusts decreased our net income by $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and decreased our stockholders’ equity by $55.7 million and $67.9 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
The above non-cash charges to earnings and stockholders’ equity primarily relate to realized investment and unrealized investment and derivative cash flow gains (losses) within the collateralized obligation trusts, which will ultimately be borne by third-party investors in the non-recourse collateralized obligations. Accordingly, these losses and any future gains or losses under this method of consolidation will ultimately reverse upon the deconsolidation, maturity or other liquidation of the non-recourse collateralized obligations.
GAAP requires us to consolidate all the assets and liabilities of these collateralized obligation trusts, which results in the recognition of realized and unrealized losses even though we have no legal obligation to fund such losses in the settlement of the collateralized obligations. The FASB continues to evaluate, through the issuance of FASB staff positions, the various technical implementation issues related to consolidation accounting. We will continue to assess the impact of any new implementation guidance issued by the FASB as well as evolving interpretations among accounting professionals. Additional guidance and interpretations may affect our application of consolidation accounting in future periods.
The amount of derivative cash flow hedge ineffectiveness recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the effective income tax rates applicable to income from continuing operations differ from the 35.0% U.S. federal statutory tax rate. Items giving rise to the differences and the effects are as follows:

Other, net | | (0.4%) | | | | (0.2%) | | | | (1.7%) | | | | 0.1% | |
Effective income taxes rates applicable to continuing operations | | 28.8% | | | | 31.1% | | | | 19.5% | | | | 28.7% | |
Our effective income tax rate of 28.8% and 19.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 includes significant, infrequent and unusual items and, therefore, does not reflect the anticipated effective income tax rate for the full 2006 year. The significant, infrequent and unusual events in 2006, which primarily include the intangible asset impairment during the first quarter, had an effective income tax rate of 38.2%. The estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to recurring income items for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 was approximately 30%. Throughout the year, we will re-evaluate our estimated annual effective income tax rate and make adjustments as necessary.
Our federal income tax returns are routinely audited by the IRS and estimated provisions are routinely provided in the financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The current periods being audited by the IRS are the 2002 and 2003 tax years. While it is often difficult to predict the outcome of these audits, including the timing of any resolution of any particular tax matter, we believe that our reserves, as recorded on the balance sheet, are adequate for all open tax years. Unfavorable resolution of any particular issue could result in additional use of cash to pay liabilities that would be deemed owed to the IRS. Additionally, any unfavorable or favorable resolution of any particular issue could result in an increase or decrease, respectively, to our effective income tax rate to the extent that our estimates differ from the ultimate resolution.

Savings plans
During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we incurred costs of $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for contributions to our employer-sponsored savings plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we incurred costs of $2.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for contributions to our employer-sponsored savings plans.
Prior to July 1, 2005, we made our contributions to the sponsored savings plans in the form of common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we contributed 82,877 treasury shares to fund the employer match for our saving and investment benefit plans. These shares had a cost basis of $1.3 million and an aggregate market value of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we contributed 191,473 treasury shares to fund the employer match for our saving and investment benefit plans. These shares had a cost basis of $3.0 million and an aggregate market value of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Beginning July 1, 2005, our contributions to the sponsored savings plans have been in cash.
Stock options
We have stock option plans under which we grant options for a fixed number of common shares to employees and non-employee directors. Our options have an exercise price equal to the market value of the shares at the date of grant. Each option, once vested, entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock. The employees’ options vest over a three-year period while the directors’ options vest immediately. For stock options awarded, we recognize expense over the vesting period equal to their fair value at issuance. We calculate the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance to officers and employees of up to that number of options equal to 5% of the total number of common stock shares outstanding immediately after the initial public offering in June 2001, or approximately 5,250,000 shares, plus an additional 1%, or approximately 1,050,000 shares, for PXP officers and employees, less the number of share options issuable under the Directors’ Stock Plan. The Directors’ Stock Plan authorizes the issuance to non-employee directors of up to that number of options equal to 0.5%, or approximately 525,000 shares, of the total number of common stock shares outstanding immediately after the initial public offering in June 2001, plus 500,000 shares, bringing the total to approximately 1,025,000 shares.

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we granted 10,600 stock options which vest over three years. These options had a weighted-average fair value of $6.61 per option ($0.1 million aggregate) which we are expensing over their three-year vesting periods. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we granted 368,957 stock options which vest over three years. These options had a fair value of $2.62 per option ($1.0 million aggregate) which we are expensing over their three-year vesting period.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at June 30, 2006 was $3.6 million, of which $2.2 million related to options that were exercisable.
At June 30, 2006, 3.7 million of outstanding stock options were exercisable, with a weighted-average exercise price of $15.28. At June 30, 2006, the weighted-average remaining contractual life for all options outstanding was 6.8 years. We issue new shares to satisfy option exercises.
As of June 30, 2006, there was $2.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted by us. That cost is expected to be recognized over 3 years. The total fair value of options vested during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $1.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
Restricted stock units
We have restricted stock unit (RSU) plans under which we grant RSUs to employees and non-employee directors. Each RSU, once vested, entitles the holder to one share of our common stock when the restriction expires. We recognize compensation expense over the vesting period of the RSUs.

26
In addition to the RSU activity above, 4.5 million RSUs are subject to future issuance based on the achievement of performance criteria established under certain of our incentive plans.
Generally, the shares underlying these awards, which are or become vested, will be issued on each employee’s and each director’s respective termination or retirement.
As of June 30, 2006, there was $3.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs granted by us. That cost is expected to be recognized over 3 years. The total fair value of RSUs vested during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $5.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Contingent Liabilities
We are regularly involved in litigation and arbitration, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, employer, investor or taxpayer. Several current proceedings are discussed below. In addition, state regulatory bodies, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD, and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. For example, during 2003 and 2004, the New York State Insurance Department conducted its routine quinquennial financial and market conduct examination of Phoenix Life and its New York domiciled life insurance subsidiary and the SEC conducted examinations of certain Phoenix Life variable products and certain Phoenix Life affiliated investment advisers and mutual funds. The New York State Insurance Department’s report, for the five-year period ending December 31, 2002, cited no material violations. In 2004, the NASD also commenced examinations of two Phoenix broker-dealers; the examinations were closed in April 2005 and November 2004, respectively. In February 2005, the NASD notified the Company that it was asserting violations of trade reporting rules by a PXP subsidiary. The Company responded to the NASD allegations in May 2005 but has not received any further inquiries to date.
Federal and state regulatory authorities from time to time make inquiries and conduct examinations regarding compliance by Phoenix Life and its subsidiaries with securities and other laws and regulations affecting their registered products. The Company endeavors to respond to such inquiries in an appropriate way and to take corrective action if warranted. Recently, there has been a significant increase in federal and state regulatory
27
activity relating to financial services companies, with a number of recent regulatory inquiries focusing on late-trading, market timing and valuation issues. Our products entitle us to impose restrictions on transfers between separate account sub-accounts associated with our variable products.
In 2004 and 2005, the Boston District Office of the SEC conducted a compliance examination of certain of the Company’s affiliates that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Following the examination, the staff of the Boston District Office issued a deficiency letter primarily focused on perceived weaknesses in procedures for monitoring trading to prevent market timing activity. The staff requested the Company to conduct an analysis as to whether shareholders, policyholders and contract holders who invested in the funds that may have been affected by undetected market timing activity had suffered harm and to advise the staff whether the Company believes reimbursement is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. A third party was retained to assist the Company in preparing the analysis. Based on this analysis, the Company advised the SEC that it does not believe that reimbursement is appropriate.
Over the past two years, a number of companies have announced settlements of enforcement actions with various regulatory agencies, primarily the SEC and the New York Attorney General’s Office. While no such action has been initiated against us, it is possible that one or more regulatory agencies may pursue this type of action against us in the future.
Financial services companies have also been the subject of broad industry inquiries by state regulators and attorneys general which do not appear to be company-specific. In this regard, in 2004, we received a subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General’s office requesting information regarding certain distribution practices since 1998. Over 40 companies received such a subpoena. We cooperated fully and have had no further inquiry since filing our response.
In May 2005, we received a subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General’s office and an inquiry from the Connecticut Insurance Department requesting information regarding finite reinsurance. We cooperated fully and have had no further inquiry since responding.
These types of regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify, may seek recovery of indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, and the nature and magnitude of their outcomes may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending inquiries, investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, we believe that their outcomes are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, or consideration of available insurance and reinsurance and the provision made in our consolidated financial statements. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and litigation’s inherent unpredictability, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or cash flows.
Discontinued Reinsurance Operations
In 1999, we discontinued our reinsurance operations through a combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain retained group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off. We adopted a formal plan to stop writing new contracts covering these risks and to end the existing contracts as soon as those contracts would permit. However, we remain liable for claims under contracts which have not been commuted.
We have established reserves for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves are based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect from our retrocessionaires and the likely legal and administrative costs of winding down the business.
28
Our total reserves, including reserves for amounts recoverable from retrocessionaires, were $75.0 million as of June 30, 2006 and $60.0 million as of December 31, 2005. Our total amounts recoverable from retrocessionaires related to paid losses were $20.0 million as of June 30, 2006 and $20.0 million as of December 31, 2005. We did not recognize any gains or losses related to our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
We expect our reserves and reinsurance to cover the run-off of the business; however, the nature of the underlying risks is such that the claims may take years to reach the reinsurers involved. Therefore, we expect to pay claims out of existing estimated reserves for up to ten years as the level of business diminishes. In addition, unfavorable or favorable claims and/or reinsurance recovery experience is reasonably possible and could result in our recognition of additional losses or gains, respectively, in future years. Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings, as well as the lack of sufficient claims information (which has resulted from disputes among ceding reinsurers leading to delayed processing, reporting blockages and standstill agreements among reinsurers), the range of any reasonably possible additional future losses or gains is not currently estimable. However, it is our opinion, based on current information and after consideration of the provisions made in these financial statements, as described above, that any future adverse or favorable development of recorded reserves and/or reinsurance recoverables will not have a material effect on our financial position.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section reviews our consolidated financial condition as of June 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005; our consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005; and, where appropriate, factors that may affect our future financial performance. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed financial statements and notes contained in this filing as well as in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a manufacturer of life insurance, annuity and asset management products for the accumulation, preservation and transfer of wealth. We provide products and services to affluent and high-net-worth individuals through their advisors and to institutions directly and through consultants. We offer a broad range of life insurance, annuity and asset management products and services through a variety of distributors. These distributors include independent advisors and financial services firms who make our products and services available to their clients.
30
We manufacture our products through two reportable operating segments—Life and Annuity and Asset Management—which include three product lines—life insurance, annuities and asset management. Through Life and Annuity we offer a variety of life insurance and annuity products, including universal, variable universal and term life insurance and a range of variable annuity offerings. Asset Management comprises two lines of business—retail and institutional. Through our retail line of business, we provide investment management services through open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and managed accounts. Managed accounts include intermediary programs sponsored and distributed by non-affiliated broker-dealers and direct managed accounts sold and administered by us. We also provide transfer agency, accounting and administrative services to our open-end mutual funds. Through our institutional group, we provide investment management services primarily to corporations, multi-employer retirement funds and foundations, as well as to endowments and special purpose funds. In addition, we manage structured finance products such as collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, backed by portfolios of assets, for example, public high yield bonds, mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities.
Through December 31, 2005, we reported our remaining activities in two non-operating segments—Venture Capital and Corporate and Other. Venture Capital includes limited partnership interests in venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and other private equity partnerships sponsored and managed by third parties. These assets are investments of the general account of Phoenix Life. In October 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell approximately three-quarters of the assets in our Venture Capital segment. As a result of the transaction, the Venture Capital segment was eliminated effective January 1, 2006 and earnings from the remaining assets are now allocated to the Life and Annuity segment. The Corporate and Other segment includes all interest expense, as well as several smaller subsidiaries and investment activities which do not meet the thresholds of reportable segments. These include our remaining international operations and the run-off of our group pension and guaranteed investment contract businesses.
We derive our revenues principally from:
·
premiums on whole life insurance;
·
insurance and investment product fees on variable life and annuity products and universal life products;
·
investment management and related fees; and
·
net investment income and net realized investment gains.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, premium and deposit collections for variable life, universal life and annuity products are not recorded as revenues. For certain investment options of variable products, collections are reflected on our balance sheet as an increase in separate account liabilities. Collections for universal life, fixed annuities and certain investment options of variable annuities are reflected on our balance sheet as an increase in policyholder deposit funds. Collections for other products are reflected on our balance sheet as an increase in policy liabilities and accruals.
Our expenses consist principally of:
·
insurance policy benefits provided to policyholders, including interest credited on policies;
·
policyholder dividends;
·
deferred policy acquisition costs amortization;
·
intangible assets amortization;
·
interest expense;
·
other operating expenses; and
·
income taxes.
31
Our profitability depends principally upon:
·
the adequacy of our product pricing, which is primarily a function of our:
·
ability to select underwriting risks;
·
mortality experience;
·
ability to generate investment earnings;
·
ability to maintain expenses in accordance with our pricing assumptions; and
·
persistency on policies issued (the percentage of policies remaining in force from year to year as measured by premiums);
·
the amount and composition of assets under management;
·
the maintenance of our target spreads between the rate of earnings on our investments and dividend and interest rates credited to customers; and
·
our ability to manage expenses.
Prior to Phoenix Life’s demutualization, we focused on participating life insurance products, which pay policyholder dividends. As of June 30, 2006, 67% of our life insurance reserves were for participating policies. As a result, a significant portion of our expenses consists, and will continue to consist, of such policyholder dividends. Our net income is reduced by the amounts of these dividends. Policyholder dividend expense, which includes both dividends to policyholders and the change in the policyholder dividend obligation, was $201.9 million and $167.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Our sales and financial results over the last several years have been affected by demographic, industry and market trends. The baby boom generation has begun to enter its prime savings years. Americans generally have begun to rely less on defined benefit retirement plans, social security and other government programs to meet their postretirement financial needs. Product preferences have shifted between fixed and variable options depending on market and economic conditions. Our balanced product portfolio including universal life, variable life and variable annuity products, as well as a broad array of mutual funds and managed accounts, has been positioned to meet this shifting demand.
Discontinued Operations
During 1999, we discontinued the operations of several businesses that did not align with our business strategy including reinsurance, group life and health and real estate management operations. See Note 11 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding our discontinued reinsurance operations.
Other Recent Acquisitions and Divestitures
Harris Investment Management, Inc.
On May 18, 2006, we entered into a strategic alliance with Harris Investment Management, Inc., or Harris, whereby we became the investment adviser, distributor and administrator of the Harris Insight(R) Funds, now known as the Phoenix Insight Funds. Harris will continue to manage the majority of the Phoenix Insight Funds as subadviser. The acquisition of the Phoenix Insight Funds added $9.7 billion to assets under management at June 30, 2006.
Phoenix National Insurance Company
Effective December 30, 2005, we sold 100% of the common stock held by us in Phoenix National Insurance Company. This transaction was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
32
Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC
As a result of a step acquisition completed in 2005, PXP owns 100% of Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC, or KAR. In connection with the purchase, we issued promissory notes to the sellers in the amount of $67.0 million to finance the remainder of the acquisition, of which $9.8 million was paid on January 3, 2006. The remainder plus deferred interest is due on January 2, 2007. The interest rate on the notes is 4.75%.
Seneca Capital Management
On May 2, 2005, we completed the acquisition of the minority interest in Seneca Capital Management, or Seneca, thereby increasing our ownership to 100%. This effect of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Aberdeen Asset Management, PLC
On January 14, 2005, we disposed of our equity interest in Aberdeen Asset Management PLC, or Aberdeen, for proceeds of $70.4 million, which resulted in a $7.0 million after-tax realized investment loss.
Lombard International Assurance S.A.
On January 11, 2005, we disposed of our interests in Lombard International Assurance S.A., or Lombard, for proceeds of $59.0 million. We realized an after-tax gain of $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2005 related to this sale, including earn-out consideration received. In the first quarter of 2006, we recognized an additional $6.5 million after-tax earn-out gain and we may be entitled to additional consideration based on Lombard’s financial performance through 2006.
The Demutualization
Phoenix Home Life demutualized on June 25, 2001 by converting from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company, or Phoenix Life. See Note 3 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for detailed information regarding the demutualization and closed block.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Uncertain Tax Positions: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on measurement and classification of taxes and introduces new disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 48 on our financial position and results of operations.
Deferred Acquisition Costs: In September 2005, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee, or AcSEC, of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, issued Statement of Position 05-1,Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts, or SOP 05-1. SOP 05-1 provides guidance on accounting by insurance enterprises for deferred acquisition costs on internal replacements of insurance and investment contracts other than those specifically described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, or SFAS No. 97. The SOP defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. This SOP is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We will adopt SOP 05-1 on January 1, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SOP 05-1 on our financial position and results of operations.
33
Servicing of Financial Assets: In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, or SFAS 156. SFAS 156 provides guidance on recognition and disclosure of servicing assets and liabilities and is effective beginning January 1, 2007. We do not expect our adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Accounting changes
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, or SFAS 155. SFAS 155 resolves certain issues surrounding the accounting for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Our adoption of SFAS 155 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Staff Position Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1,The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, or FSP 115-1. FSP 115-1 provides guidance as to the determination of other-than-temporarily impaired securities and requires certain financial disclosures with respect to unrealized losses. These accounting and disclosure requirements largely codify our existing practices as to other-than-temporarily impaired securities and, accordingly, our adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Share-Based Payment: Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R), which requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements at the fair value of the instruments issued. While prior to the issuance of SFAS 123(R) recognition of such costs at fair value was optional, we elected to do so for all share-based compensation that we awarded after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, our adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting estimates are reflective of significant judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. See our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of our critical accounting estimates.

Executive Overview and Outlook
Second quarter and year-to-date 2006 net income was $19.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, and $21.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $22.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, and $31.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the same periods in 2005. Second quarter 2005 net income included a $15.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, after-tax benefit from the adjustment, or “unlocking,” of assumptions primarily related to deferred policy acquisition costs, or DAC. Excluding the effects of this unlocking, net income for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 increased by $12.7 million and $5.0 million over the comparable periods in 2005.
Second quarter and year-to-date 2006 results, compared with the same periods in 2005, reflected higher fee income, from both higher life sales and growth of policies in force for universal life, improved realized investment gains and lower operating expenses. These improvements were offset by lower fees for Asset Management from lower assets under management, lower investment income, higher DAC amortization and, for year-to-date only, a non-cash identified intangible asset impairment charge taken in the first quarter of 2006 of $20.1 million after-tax ($32.5 million pre-tax).
Total segment income for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 was $20.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and $14.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared with $30.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and $47.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the same periods in 2005. Excluding the effects of unlocking, total segment income increased $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2006 and decreased $18.0 million year-to-date
35
2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. In addition to the unlocking, the year-to-date results were affected by the $20.1 million impairment charge discussed above. A reconciliation of segment income to net income follows in the “Results of Operations by Segment” section of this document.
Life and Annuity segment net income for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 was $30.1 million and $52.2 million compared to $41.4 million ($25.9 million excluding unlocking) and $70.7 million ($55.2 million excluding unlocking) for the same periods in 2005. Life and Annuity pre-tax segment income for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 was $42.6 million and $80.9 million compared to $58.7 million ($34.9 million excluding unlocking) and $102.7 million ($78.9 million excluding unlocking) for the same periods in 2005. The 2006 second quarter results reflected the impact of higher fee income on a growing block of business, favorable life persistency and mortality, offset by higher annuity surrenders and the effect of weaker equity markets. The year-to-date results reflected higher fee income and favorable persistency, offset by lower net investment income and higher claims due to a small number of large universal life insurance claims. Based on a review of these cases, we believe that these claims are not indicative of deterioration in overall experience.
Total life insurance sales for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 increased 47% to $50.8 million and 150% to $161.7 million while annualized premiums grew 83% to $39.6 million and 210% to $131.4 million over the comparable periods in 2005. Annuity deposits for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 grew 30% to $104.4 million and 14% to $196.6 million over the comparable periods in 2005. We have positioned annuities for future growth through new leadership, repositioning of the product portfolio and focusing on a select number of key relationships. Annuity net outflows increased for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 by $272.0 million and $403.3 million over the comparable periods in 2005. These increased outflows were due primarily to higher surrenders for lower returning discontinued annuity products and a $206.6 million scheduled maturity of an institutionally-placed contract in the second quarter of 2006.
Total private placement life and annuity deposits for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 were $59.9 million and $71.8 million compared with $23.2 million and $525.1 million for the comparable periods in 2005. Deposits from private placement sales can vary widely quarter to quarter because they involve fewer but significantly larger cases.
Asset Management’s segment net loss for the second quarter 2006 was $2.6 million compared to a segment net loss of $5.1 million for the same period in 2005, and the year-to-date 2006 segment net loss was $26.1 million compared to a segment net loss of $6.6 million for the same period in 2005. Asset Management’s pre-tax segment income for the second quarter 2006 was $1.3 million compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2005 and the year-to-date 2006 pre-tax segment loss was $33.3 million compared to a pre-tax segment loss of $1.6 million for the same period in 2005. The improved second quarter 2006 results reflect increased revenues, driven by the adoption of the Harris Insight(R) Funds, now known as the Phoenix Insight Funds, and reduced operating expenses. The higher 2006 year-to-date loss was due primarily to the $32.5 million pre-tax non-cash identified intangible asset impairment charge for the first quarter of 2006, with the decrease in fee income from lower assets under management, significantly offset by lower operating expenses.
Assets under management at June 30, 2006 were $43.3 billion as compared to $42.3 billion at June 30, 2005. The June 30, 2006 assets under management reflect the adoption of the Harris Insight(R) Funds, now known as the Phoenix Insight Funds, in the second quarter of 2006, which increased assets under management by $9.7 billion as measured at June 30, 2006. Net outflows for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 were $2.7 billion and $4.3 billion compared to net outflows of $1.8 billion and $0.3 billion for the comparable periods in 2005. Outflows for the 2006 quarter included redemptions of managed accounts at Engemann Asset Management that were anticipated as part of the impairment taken in the first quarter of 2006 and outflows that were unrelated to investment performance, such as the redemption of two structured products and normal withdrawal activity. Year-to-date 2006 outflows reflect continued redemptions in certain underperforming equity strategies related primarily to institutional products and managed accounts and outflows not related to performance, as discussed above. In addition, the 2005 year-to-date results include a $3 billion insurance company general account fixed income mandate at Seneca that did not recur in 2006.
36
We are focused on continued improvement in the profitability of Asset Management, as well as improving net flows. We have enhanced the product line-up by eliminating underperforming and redundant strategies and by adding new products. We completed a total of 19 mergers, closures or subadvisor changes since the beginning of 2005, while adding 35 funds by leveraging our proprietary capabilities, adding new subadvisory relationships and adopting funds, including the Insight Funds. We have also realigned our distribution for greater effectiveness and increased the number of wholesalers actively marketing our mutual funds and managed accounts. We expanded our key account management focus to address the importance of platforms in generating mutual fund sales and we integrated our institutional distribution to sell multiple strategies.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, we secured an agreement to sell approximately three-quarters of the Venture Capital segment assets and, as a result, eliminated the segment effective January 1, 2006. Earnings from the remaining assets were allocated to the Life and Annuity segment.
The Corporate and Other pre-tax loss for the second quarter and year-to-date 2006 was $13.9 million and $31.3 million compared to $16.4 million and $32.7 million for the same periods in 2005. The 2006 periods reflected higher investment income and lower expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense for the year-to-date period only, compared to the 2005 periods.
We ended the second quarter of 2006 in a strong financial position, with stockholders’ equity of $2,132.1 million at June 30, 2006, up from $2,007.1 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was principally due to stock issued in settlement of the equity units in the first quarter of 2006, partially offset by higher unrealized losses, driven by higher interest rates, and the stockholder dividends declared in the second quarter of 2006.
Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Premium revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $21.4 million, or 9%, and $40.7 million, or 9%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to lower participating life insurance premiums, partially offset by higher premiums for term life insurance. Since our demutualization in 2001, we no longer sell participating life policies, resulting in a decline in renewal participating life premiums.
Insurance and investment product fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $12.0 million, or 9%, and $22.1 million, or 9%, over the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to increased fees in Life and Annuity, offset by lower fees for Asset Management. Life and Annuity fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $21.1 million, or 28%, and $43.6 million, or 29%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due principally to higher universal life fees, partially offset by modestly lower variable universal life fees. Asset Management investment product fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $9.5 million, or 18%, and $22.2 million, or 21%, from the comparable periods in 2005, primarily as a result of decreased billable average assets under management. Average assets under management increased over prior periods primarily as a result of the adoption of the Insight Funds in the latter part of the second quarter. Approximately 30% of our asset management fee revenues are based on assets as of the beginning of a quarter, which causes fluctuations in fees to lag behind changes in assets under management.
Broker-dealer commission and distribution fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2005, primarily as a result of an increase in distributor fee income earned on sales of mutual fund shares.
Net investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $11.8 million, or 4%, and $29.3 million, or 5%, from the comparable periods in 2005. These decreases are due primarily to lower earnings from investments pledged as collateral of $7.3 million and $13.7 million for the three and six-month periods and lower Life and Annuity investment income of $4.3 million and $16.6 million for the three and six-month periods. The decrease in earnings from investments pledged as collateral is due to the liquidation of the Mistic CDO in the third quarter of 2005 while the decline in Life and Annuity investment income is principally due to lower partnership, prepayment and other gains, particularly in the first quarter of 2006.
37
Net realized investment gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $25.2 million and $76.3 million over the comparable periods in 2005. The increase in net realized investment gains is due primarily to an improved credit environment in 2006 as impairments decreased $7.6 million and $19.1 million for the comparative three and six-month periods in 2006 versus 2005. In addition, 2006 benefited from higher net transaction gains including $19.4 million from a CBO liquidation and $10.0 million due to the Lombard earnout.
Policyholder benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $6.7 million, or 2%, and $16.1 million, or 2%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due principally to lower benefits and reserve changes for participating life insurance and lower interest credited for annuities, partially offset by higher universal life claims. Interest credited for annuities decreased as a result of the decline in general account funds on deposit, related primarily to discontinued products. Universal life claims represented a small number of claims which, based on our review, we believe are not indicative of a deterioration in overall experience.
Policyholder dividends increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 by $11.7 million, or 14%, and $34.7 million, or 21%, from the comparable periods in 2005. This was due to the effect of realized gains and operating results for the closed block line of business on the policyholder dividend obligation, which increased dividend expense by $26.7 million and $66.8 million for the three and six-month periods over the same periods in 2005. This increase was offset by the lower dividends resulting primarily from reduction of the dividend scale in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Policy acquisition cost amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $33.6 million, or 239%, and $35.4 million, or 93%, over the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to the effects of unlocking in the second quarter of 2005, which decreased amortization by $28.1 million and higher amortization for universal life resulting from growth of policies in force. For the second quarter of 2006, amortization of DAC related to annuities increased due to lower relative performance and higher surrenders.
In the first quarter of 2006, we recorded a $32.5 million impairment charge. This impairment included the entire identified intangible asset balance related to the large-cap managed account strategy at Engemann, which reflected cumulative and expected outflows of assets under management.
Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $24.2 million, or 19%, and $30.0 million, or 12%, from the comparable periods in 2005, reflecting lower expenses in all segments. Asset Management’s other operating expenses decreased $10.1 million and $21.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2005, or 20% in each period, of which $7.4 million and $14.1 million related to compensation expense and $2.7 million and $7.4 million related to non-compensation related operating expenses. The decrease in compensation expense in both periods was primarily the result of a $6.0 million and $10.5 million decrease, respectively, in incentive compensation, which resulted from lower bonus pools and a decrease in management and sales incentives. The bonus pools decreased as a result of lower earnings and revenues at certain of our partner firms that have formula-based incentives, as well as lower staffing levels. Lower costs in both periods related to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests of $2.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, was the primary contributor to the decrease in non-compensation related operating expenses. The decrease in this cost is due to the acquisition of the remaining outstanding mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain of our asset management subsidiaries during the second and third quarters of 2005. The remaining decrease was primarily the net result of changes in commissions and finders fees, clearing costs, outside services and trailing commissions paid on sales of mutual fund shares. Life and Annuity’s other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $8.2 million, or 14%, and $1.8 million, or 2%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due to lower non-deferred expenses, partially offset by higher premium taxes and, for the six-month period only, somewhat higher commissions.
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $2.2 million, or 22%, and $7.8 million, or 60%, from the comparable periods in 2005, due primarily to lower pre-tax income.

Results of Operations by Segment
We evaluate segment performance on the basis of segment income. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our presentation of segment income. Segment income is an internal performance measure we use in the management of our operations, including our compensation plans and planning processes. We exclude realized investment gains and losses and certain other items from our calculation of segment income because we do not consider them to be related to the operating performance of our segments. The size and timing of realized investment gains and losses are often subject to our discretion. Certain other items are excluded from segment income because we believe they are not indicative of overall operating trends and are items that management believes are infrequent and material and which result from a business restructuring, a change in the regulatory requirements, or other unusual circumstances. While some of these items may be significant components of net income reported in accordance with GAAP, we believe that segment income, and measures that incorporate segment income, are appropriate measures that are useful to investors because they identify the earnings attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Items excluded from segment income may vary from period to period. Because these items are excluded based on our discretion, inconsistencies in the application of our selection criteria may exist. We include information on other items allocated to our segments in their respective consolidated financial statement footnotes for informational purposes only. Segment income, and other measures that incorporate net income, are not substitutes for net income determined in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies.
Investment income on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral as well as interest expense on non-recourse collateralized obligations, both related to two consolidated collateralized obligation trusts we sponsor, are included in the Corporate and Other segment. Excess investment income on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral represents investment advisory fees earned by our asset management subsidiary and is allocated to the Asset Management segment as investment product fees for segment reporting purposes only. Also, all interest expense is included in the Corporate and Other segment, as are several smaller subsidiaries and investment activities which do not meet the criteria of reportable segments. These include our remaining international operations and the run-off of our group pension and guaranteed investment contract businesses.

We evaluate the Company’s financial performance based, in part, on total segment return on equity, calculated as total segment income as a percentage of average adjusted stockholders’ equity(1). We believe this ratio measures the return management is generating on shareholder investment and the efficiency of the Company’s use of its assets and resources.

(1)
The average adjusted stockholders’ equity represents the three and six-month average of the monthly adjusted stockholders’ equity, where monthly adjusted stockholders’ equity is defined as the average of the total equity at the beginning and end of each month adjusted for accumulated other comprehensive income, accumulated realized losses in retained earnings related to collateralized obligation trusts consolidated under FIN 46(R) and equity attributed to discontinued operations. We adjust shareholders’ equity for these items because they are not related to segment operations and financial results and, therefore, inclusion of these items would not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods.
(2)
For calculation of the six months ended June 30, 2006 annualized segment income return on equity, the annualized segment income was adjusted to reflect the $20.1 million after-tax impairment charge once rather than on an annualized basis.

Segment Allocations
We allocate capital to our Life and Annuity segment based on risk-based capital, or RBC, for our insurance products. We used 300% RBC levels for 2006 and 2005. Capital within our Life Companies that is unallocated is included in the Corporate and Other segment. We allocate capital to our Asset Management segment on the basis of the historical capital within that segment. We allocate net investment income based on the assets allocated to the segments. We allocate tax benefits related to tax-advantaged investments to the segment that holds the investment. We allocate certain costs and expenses to the segments based on a review of the nature of the costs, time studies and other methodologies.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Excluding the $23.8 million pre-tax unlocking benefit ($15.5 million after-tax) in the second quarter of 2005 discussed above, segment net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 16% and decreased 5%, respectively, and pre-tax segment income increased 22% and 3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The unlocking consisted of a reduction in DAC amortization of $28.1 million, offset by a charge to policy reserves of $3.5 million, a decrease in fee income of $0.3 million and an increase to operating expenses of $0.5 million.
Premium revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $21.4 million, or 9%, and $40.7 million, or 9%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to lower participating life insurance premiums, partially offset by higher premiums for term life insurance. Since our demutualization in 2001, we no longer sell participating life policies, resulting in a decline in renewal participating life premiums.
Insurance and investment product fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $21.1 million, or 28%, and $43.6 million, or 29%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due principally to higher universal life fees, partially offset by modestly lower variable universal life fees. See discussion of “Life and Annuity Segment Revenues by Product” that follows for additional information.
41
Policy benefits and dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $15.1 million, or 4%, and $24.5 million, or 2%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due principally to lower benefits and reserve changes for participating life insurance, lower dividend expenses and lower interest credited for annuities. These decreases were partially offset by higher universal life claims, which represented a small number of large claims. Based upon our review, we believe that these claims are not indicative of deterioration in overall experience. Dividend expense decreased from the reduction of the dividend scale in the fourth quarter of 2005, partially offset by an increase in the change for the policyholder dividend obligation. Interest credited for annuities decreased as a result of the decline in general account funds on deposit related primarily to discontinued products.
Policy acquisition cost amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $34.8 million, or 291%, and $34.4 million, or 82%, over the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to the effects of unlocking, discussed above, and higher amortization for universal life resulting from growth of policies in force. For the second quarter of 2006, annuity amortization increased due to the effect of market performance and higher surrenders on funds on deposit.
Other operating expenses, which include non-deferrable policy acquisition costs, general and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $8.2 million, or 14%, and $1.8 million, or 2%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due to lower non-deferred expenses, partially offset by higher premium taxes. The six-month decrease in operating expenses was also affected by somewhat higher commissions in the first quarter of 2006.
Allocated income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by $6.1 million, or 32%, and $8.1 million, or 24%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to lower pre-tax income.

Annuity funds on deposit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 declined $368.5 million and $482.1 million, while annuity funds decreased $191.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased $121.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The change for the three-month period was due primarily to higher surrenders, from lower returning discontinued annuity products and a $206.6 million scheduled maturity of an institutionally-placed contract, partially offset by higher deposits. The change for the six-month period was due primarily to higher surrenders in 2006, principally from discontinued products and a large private placement deposit in first quarter of 2005 that did not recur. These decreases were partially offset by significantly improved investment performance in the first quarter of 2006.

Variable universal life funds on deposit decreased by $41.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an increase of $24.4 million for the same period in 2005 due primarily to lower relative investment performance and higher private placement surrenders in the 2006 period. Variable universal life funds on deposit increased by $57.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an increase of $24.2 million for the same period in 2005.
This improvement was principally due to higher relative investment performance offset by higher private placement surrenders and lower deposits for the six month period in 2006.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Variable universal life insurance revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $2.1 million, or 6%, and $1.5 million, or 2%, over the comparable periods in 2005 due to the effects of unlocking which increased fee revenue by $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2005.
Universal life insurance revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $26.3 million, or 50%, and $49.7 million, or 46%, over the comparable periods in 2005. This was due to higher cost of insurance fees, from growth of in-force business, increased investment earnings from higher funds on deposit and increased fees from higher sales in the 2006 periods.
Traditional life insurance revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $23.4 million, or 6%, and $50.2 million, or 6%, from the comparable periods in 2005. This was due to lower renewal premiums and a decrease in net investment income, principally for the first quarter of 2006, which resulted from lower partnership, prepayment and other gains. Since our demutualization in 2001, we no longer sell participating life insurance policies.
Annuity revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $5.3 million, or 9%, and $11.7 million, or 10%, from the comparable periods in 2005. This was due principally to lower interest earned, as a result of the decline in funds on deposit in general account funds.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Variable universal life pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $28.6 million, or 76%, and $29.2 million, or 62%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to the unlocking benefit in the second quarter of 2005. Excluding the effects of unlocking, pre-tax income is flat for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and decreased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the prior year periods.
Universal life pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $11.6 million, or 50%, and $14.1 million, or 42%, from the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to the unlocking benefit in the second quarter of 2005. Excluding the effects of unlocking, pre-tax income increased $2.2 million and decreased $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005. The pre-tax income for the 2006 periods reflected increased revenue, as discussed above, offset by higher claims and increased amortization of deferred acquisition costs. The increase in claims represented a small number of cases which we believe are not indicative of deterioration in overall experience.
Traditional life pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $13.7 million, or 199%, and $11.3 million, or 45%, over the comparable periods in 2005. Excluding the effects of unlocking in the second quarter of 2005, pre-tax income increased $5.8 million and $3.4 million for the three and six-month periods in 2006, over the prior year periods, due primarily to lower operating expenses. The increase in pre-tax income for the six-month period was offset by lower investment income from partnerships, prepayments and other gains in the first quarter of 2006.
Annuities pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $10.1 million and $9.8 million over the comparable periods in 2005. Excluding the effects of unlocking in the second quarter of 2005, pre-tax income decreased $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the three and six-month periods in 2006 from the same periods in 2005. The pre-tax income for 2006 reflected lower revenues, discussed above, and higher amortization of DAC for the second quarter, offset by lower interest credited and operating expenses. The amortization of DAC increased in the second quarter of 2006 due to low relative investment performance and higher surrenders. Interest credited declined due to lower general account funds on deposit, consistent with the decline in investment income earned on those funds, as discussed above.

Our investment product fee revenues are based on assets under management. Approximately 30% of our investment product fees are based on beginning of quarter assets under management while the remaining 70% are based on end of day balances. End of period and average assets (based on how fees are calculated) under management follow:

Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Investment product fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $9.5 million, or 18%, and $22.2 million, or 21%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2005, primarily as a result of decreased average assets under management. Although assets under management increased late in the second quarter of 2006 due to the adoption of the Insight Funds, approximately 30% of our asset management fee revenues are based on assets as of the beginning of a quarter. This causes fluctuations in fees to lag behind changes in assets under management. Broker-dealer commission and distribution fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2005, primarily as a result of an increase in distributor fee income earned on sales of mutual fund shares.
Net increases in average assets under management during the last six months were due primarily to the adoption of the Insight Funds, which added $9.7 billion to assets under management as measured at June 30, 2006. Positive investment performance also added $1.6 billion to assets under management during the same period. These increases were offset in part by outflows in the last two quarters of $9.6 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. In June 2006, April 2006, and September 2005, certain collateralized debt obligation trusts, Seneca CBO III, Seneca CBO II, and Mistic, respectively, became callable by their bondholders and were liquidated. The liquidation of these trusts contributed $0.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, to net outflows.

Sales of retail products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.7 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, a decrease of 24% and 15%, respectively, over the prior year periods. Redemptions from existing accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $2.0 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, an increase of 10% and 3%, respectively, over the prior year periods. Sales of institutional accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $0.5 billion, which remained relatively constant compared to 2005. Sales of institutional accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.1 billion, a decrease of 76% over the same period in 2005. The first quarter of 2005 included one $3.0 billion sale. Excluding this sale, sales of institutional accounts in 2006 decreased 30% compared to the same period in 2005. Lost accounts and withdrawals from existing accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.9 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, a decrease of 29% and 5%, respectively, from the prior year period.
In the first quarter of 2006, we performed an interim test for impairment on certain definite-lived intangible assets at one of our reporting units as a result of significant outflows of retail assets during that quarter. In addition, a test for impairment of this unit’s goodwill was also deemed necessary. As a result of these tests, we recorded a $32.5 million pre-tax impairment charge against certain definite-lived intangible assets. No impairment of goodwill was recorded. As of June 30, 2006, we did not believe that an interim test for impairment of our goodwill or other intangible assets was warranted.
Other operating expenses decreased $10.1 million and $21.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2005, or 20% in each period, of which $7.4 million and $14.1 million related to compensation expense and $2.7 million and $7.4 million related to non-compensation related operating expenses.
The decrease in compensation expense in both periods was primarily the result of a $6.0 million and $10.5 million decrease, respectively, in incentive compensation. Incentive compensation decreased as a result of lower earnings and revenues at certain of our partner firms that have formula-based incentives, as well as lower staffing levels. Lower costs in both periods related to mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests of $2.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, was the primary contributor to the decrease in non-compensation related operating expenses. The decrease in this cost was due to the acquisition of the remaining outstanding mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain of our asset management subsidiaries during the second and third quarters of 2005. The remaining decrease was primarily the result of changes in commissions and finders fees, clearing costs, outside services and trailing commissions paid on sales of mutual fund shares.
Allocated income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $0.6 million from the comparable period in 2005, primarily as a result of higher pre-tax segment income in 2006 compared to 2005. Allocated income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $12.4 from the comparable period in 2005, primarily as a result of a higher pre-tax segment loss in 2006.
After-tax restructuring costs decreased $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and increased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year periods. The charges for 2005 and 2006 related to the ongoing restructuring of the asset management business, which included converting asset management operations to a wholly-owned structure and consolidation of certain functions and office space. The charges for the 2005 periods were predominantly employment-related charges, while the charges in 2006 were primarily employment and lease related charges.

Three and six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Corporate and Other pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $2.5 million and $1.4 million over the comparable periods in 2005 due primarily to higher investment income from earnings on investment of the equity units proceeds and lower operating expenses.
After-tax restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $1.1 million and $2.8 million from the comparable periods in 2005. The 2005 charges primarily related to completion of the outsourcing of our information technology infrastructure, legal costs associated with certain restructuring activities and execution of our facility use plan.
General Account
The invested assets in the Life Companies’ general account are generally of high quality and broadly diversified across asset classes, sectors and individual credits and issuers. Our asset management professionals manage these general account assets in investment segments that support specific product liabilities. These investment segments have distinct investment policies that are structured to support the financial characteristics of the related liabilities within them. Segmentation of assets allows us to manage the risks and measure returns on capital for our various businesses and products.
Separate Accounts
Separate account assets are managed in accordance with the specific investment contracts and guidelines relating to our variable products. We generally do not bear any investment risk on assets held in separate accounts. Rather, we receive investment management fees based on assets under management. Assets held in separate accounts are not available to satisfy general account obligations.

Debt and Equity Securities Pledged as Collateral and Non-recourse Collateralized Obligations
Investments pledged as collateral are assets held for the benefit of those institutional clients which have investments in structured bond products offered and managed by our asset management subsidiary.
See Note 7 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q as well as Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.
Enterprise Risk Management
We have implemented a comprehensive, enterprise-wide risk management program, overseen by our Chief Risk Officer, who reports to the Chief Financial Officer. We have also established an Enterprise Risk Management Committee, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, to ensure our risk management principles are followed and our objectives are accomplished. In addition, we have established several management committees overseeing and addressing issues pertaining to all our major risks—product, market and operations—and capital management.
See our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our enterprise risk management. There were no material changes in our exposure to product, market and operational risks at June 30, 2006 in comparison to December 31, 2005.
Debt and Equity Securities Held in Our General Account
Our general account debt securities portfolios consist primarily of investment-grade publicly traded and privately placed corporate bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. As of June 30, 2006, our general account held debt securities with a carrying value of $12,560.7 million, representing 80.7% of total general account investments. Public debt securities represented 76.7% of total debt securities, with the remaining 23.3% represented by private debt securities.
On our consolidated balance sheet we consolidate debt and equity securities that are pledged as collateral for the settlement of collateralized obligation liabilities related to two collateralized obligation trusts we sponsor. See Note 7 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on these debt and equity securities pledged as collateral.

Affiliate transactions of $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are attributable to the earn-out associated with the sale of Lombard that occurred in the first quarter of 2005. See Notes 1 and 5 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Realized impairment losses on debt and equity securities pledged as collateral relating to our direct investments in the consolidated collateralized obligation trusts were $0.0 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Total net unrealized gains on debt and equity securities were $138.3 million (unrealized gains of $228.2 million less unrealized losses of $366.5 million). Of that net loss amount, $101.8 million was outside the closed block ($28.9 million after applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred income taxes) and $36.5 million was in the closed block ($0.0 million after applicable policyholder dividend obligation).
At the end of each reporting period, we review our security holdings for potential recognition of other-than-temporary impairments. We maintain a watch list of securities in default, near default or otherwise considered by our investment professionals as being distressed, potentially distressed or requiring a heightened level of scrutiny. We also identify securities whose carrying value has been below amortized cost on a continuous basis.

The following tables present certain information with respect to our gross unrealized losses with respect to our investments in general account debt securities, both outside and inside the closed block, as of June 30, 2006. In the tables, we separately present information that is applicable to unrealized losses both outside and inside the closed block. We believe it is unlikely that there would be any effect on our net income related to the realization of investment losses inside the closed block due to the current sufficiency of the policyholder dividend obligation liability in the closed block. See Note 3 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding the closed block. Applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes further reduce the effect on our comprehensive income.

For debt securities in the closed block with gross unrealized losses, 92.5% of the unrealized losses pertain to investment grade securities and 7.5% of the unrealized losses pertain to below investment grade securities.
In determining that the securities giving rise to unrealized losses were not other-than-temporarily impaired, we considered many factors, including those cited previously. In making these evaluations, we must exercise considerable judgment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our judgments and that such differences may require the future recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges that could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. In addition, the value of, and the realization of any loss on, a debt security or equity security is subject to numerous risks, including interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The magnitude of any loss incurred by us may be affected by the relative concentration of our investments in any one issuer or industry. We have established specific policies limiting the concentration of our investments in any single issuer and industry and believe our investment portfolio is prudently diversified.

Aberdeen Asset Management PLC
On January 14, 2005, we sold our equity holdings in Aberdeen Asset Management PLC to third parties for proceeds of $70.4 million, resulting in an after-tax realized loss of $7.0 million recognized in the first quarter of 2005.
Previously, we recorded an unrealized gain on trading equity securities of $55.1 million, after tax, in the fourth quarter of 2004 and a non-cash realized investment loss related to an other-than-temporary impairment of $55.0 million, after tax, in the second quarter of 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments such as debt and equity securities. These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations.
Liquidity refers to the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its cash requirements. The following discussion includes both liquidity and capital resources as these subjects are interrelated.
Credit Facility
On June 6, 2006, we amended and restated our existing $150 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility, dated as of November 22, 2004 (the “Original Facility” and as so amended and restated, the “Amended Facility”). The financing commitments under the Amended Facility will terminate on June 6, 2009. The amendments to the terms of the Original Facility set forth in the Amended Facility include, but are not limited to, (i) the elimination of a $750 million limit on aggregate indebtedness, (ii) the modification of certain covenants and other provisions to permit a monetization or securitization of the closed block of specified life and annuity policies established in the Plan of Reorganization of Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, and (iii) the permission of acquisitions and joint ventures which satisfy certain additional specified conditions. These conditions include, among other things, majority lender consent in the event the aggregate amount of consideration payable exceeds $400 million in respect of all acquisitions and joint ventures during the term of the agreement, excluding those to which the lenders have previously provided consent.
Certain other provisions of the Amended Facility remain unchanged from the Original Facility. Potential borrowers include The Phoenix Companies, Inc., Phoenix Life and PXP. We unconditionally guarantee any loans to Phoenix Life and PXP. Base rate loans will bear interest at the greater of Wachovia Bank, National Association’s prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Eurodollar rate loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable percentage based on our Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s ratings. The Amended Facility contains a covenant that requires us at all times to maintain a minimum level of consolidated stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we are subject to a maximum consolidated debt-to-capital ratio of 30%. However, under this covenant any debt incurred in connection with any monetization or securitization of the closed block is excluded. Further, Phoenix Life must maintain a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 250% and a minimum A.M. Best financial strength rating of “A-”.
We were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the Amended Facility at June 30, 2006.
In May 2006, the $25.0 million borrowed on the revolving credit facility was paid off in full.

Ratings
Ratings are an important factor in establishing our competitive position in the insurance and financial services marketplace. There can be no assurance that our ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be changed. In the event our ratings are downgraded, our ability to borrow, the level of our revenues and the persistency of our business may be adversely affected. Please see Section II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” below.
Our current financial strength and debt ratings are set forth in the chart below.
| | Financial Strength Rating | | Senior Debt Rating |
Rating Agency | | of Phoenix Life | | of PNX |
| | | | |
A.M. Best Company, Inc. | | A (“Excellent”) | | bbb (“Adequate”) |
Fitch | | A+ (“Strong”) | | BBB+ (“Strong”) |
Standard & Poor’s | | A (“Strong”) | | BBB (“Good”) |
Moody’s | | A3 (“Good”) | | Baa3 (“Adequate”) |
On July 27, 2006, Standard & Poor’s affirmed all of our ratings, including Phoenix Life’s A (“Strong”) financial strength rating. In addition, Standard & Poor’s revised its outlook for all of these ratings from stable to negative. On July 28, 2006, Fitch affirmed all of our ratings, including Phoenix Life’s A+ (“Strong”) financial strength rating, and maintained its stable outlook.
These ratings are not a recommendation to buy or hold any of our securities.

Summary Consolidated Cash Flows: | Six Months Ended | | |
($ in millions) | June 30, | | |

Cash from (for) discontinued operations | | 19.0 | | | (10.1) | | | 29.1 |

Cash for financing activities | | (498.6) | | | (196.2) | | | (302.4) |
Six months ended June 30, 2006 vs. June 30, 2005
Cash from continuing operations decreased $246.9 million in 2006 from 2005 due primarily to proceeds from the sale of trading equity securities of $129.7 million in 2005 from the sale of our investments in Aberdeen and Lombard, lower investment income and premiums received of $33.1 million and $43.4 million, respectively, and higher policy acquisition costs of $88.2 million. Higher fees received of $18.3 million and lower operating expenses paid of $34.8 million offset these decreases in cash.
Cash from continuing operations investing activities was $511.6 million in 2006 compared to cash used of $202.3 million in 2005. This change is due principally to lower cash generated from continuing operations and higher sales of investments in 2006 to fund withdrawals of policyholder deposit funds, as described below in financing activities.
Cash used for financing activities increased $302.4 million in 2006 over 2005 due principally to higher net withdrawals of policyholder deposit funds of $431.1 million and loan pay downs of $34.8 million in 2006, offset by proceeds received of $153.7 million from settlement of the equity units in the 2006. The increase in withdrawals of policyholder deposit funds in 2006 was due to higher surrenders of annuities invested in the general account and a $206.6 million scheduled maturity of an institutionally-placed contract.
56
See Note 6 of our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information on financing activities.
Life Companies
The Life Companies’ liquidity requirements principally relate to: the liabilities associated with various life insurance and annuity products; the payment of dividends by Phoenix Life to The Phoenix Companies, Inc.; operating expenses; contributions to subsidiaries; and payment of principal and interest by Phoenix Life on its outstanding debt obligations. Liabilities arising from life insurance and annuity products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans. The Life Companies also have liabilities arising from the runoff of the remaining group accident and health reinsurance discontinued operations.
Historically, our Life Companies have used cash flow from operations and investment activities to fund liquidity requirements. Their principal cash inflows from life insurance and annuities activities come from premiums, annuity deposits and charges on insurance policies and annuity contracts. In the case of Phoenix Life, cash inflows also include dividends, distributions and other payments from affiliates. Principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, proceeds from maturities, sales of invested assets and investment income. The principal cash inflows from our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance operations come from recoveries from other retrocessionaires and investment activities.
On April 27, 2006, the Phoenix Life Board of Directors declared a dividend of $40.0 million to its sole shareholder, The Phoenix Companies, Inc., which was paid May 5, 2006.
See our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to liquidity and capital resources related to our Life Companies.
Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. (PXP)
PXP’s liquidity requirements are primarily to fund operating expenses and pay its debt and interest obligations. PXP also would require liquidity to fund the costs of any potential acquisitions. Historically, PXP’s principal source of liquidity has been cash flows from operations. We expect that cash flow from operations will continue to be PXP’s principal source of working capital. PXP’s current sources of liquidity also include a revolving credit facility under which PXP has direct borrowing rights subject to our unconditional guarantee. We believe that PXP’s current and anticipated sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its present and anticipated needs.
See our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information as to liquidity and capital resources related to PXP.

June 30, 2006 vs. December 31, 2005
The fair value of debt securities decreased $843.9 million, or 6%, from December 31, 2005 due primarily to a significant increase in interest rates for the six-month period and the sale of securities related to a $206.6 million scheduled maturity of an annuity contract.
Mortgage loans decreased $34.1 million, or 27%, from December 31, 2005 due to principal paydowns and closings with no new investments in mortgage loans.
58
Cash increased $88.9 million, or 16%, from December 31, 2005 due primarily to cash from operations of $105.9 million and cash from investing operations of $481.6 million offset by cash used by financing activities of $498.6 million. The cash used for financing principally related to net policyholder deposit fund withdrawals of $596.0 million, including a $206.6 million scheduled maturity, offset by proceeds from the settlement of our equity units.
Receivables increased $55.0 million, or 37%, from December 31, 2005 as a result of higher receivables for unsettled investments of $38.7 million and reinsurance recoverables of $17.5 million.
Composition of Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs by Product: | June 30, | | Dec 31, | | |
($ in millions) | 2006 | | 2005 | | Change |
| | | | | | | | |
Variable universal life issuance | $ | 348.9 | | $ | 353.0 | | $ | (4.1) |
Universal life issuance | | 460.7 | | | 338.4 | | | 122.3 |

Fixed annuities | | 39.0 | | | 41.3 | | | (2.3) |

Total deferred policy acquisition costs | $ | 1,710.1 | | $ | 1,556.0 | | $ | 154.1 |
Deferred acquisition costs increased $154.1 million, or 10%, due to the deferral of policy acquisition costs of $154.2 million, related primarily to universal life sales, with the amortization of deferred acquisition costs of $73.5 million mostly offset by the effect of unrealized investment losses included in other comprehensive income of $73.4 million.
Policyholder deposit funds decreased $596.0 million, or 19%, due to net outflows, primarily from discontinued products and a $206.6 million scheduled maturity of an institutionally-placed contract in the second quarter of 2006.
Other liabilities increased $38.0 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2005 due mainly to a $47.2 million increase in payables for unsettled investments and an increase in dividends payable to stockholders of $18.0 million, offset by lower accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Common stock and additional paid-in capital increased $158.9 million, or 7%, from December 31, 2005 due primarily to the purchase of 17.4 million shares of common stock in connection with the settlement of the equity units, for $153.7 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2006, there were no significant changes to our outstanding contractual obligations and commercial commitments as disclosed in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Commitments Related to Recent Business Combinations
Under the terms of purchase agreements related to certain recent business combinations, we are subject to certain contractual obligations and commitments related to additional purchase consideration and other purchase arrangements as described in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K. See Note 7 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q for information on variable interest entities.
59
Reinsurance
We maintain life reinsurance programs designed to protect against large or unusual losses in our life insurance business. Based on our review of their financial statements and reputations in the reinsurance marketplace, we believe that these third-party reinsurers are financially sound and, therefore, that we have no material exposure to uncollectible life reinsurance.
Statutory Capital and Surplus
Phoenix Life’s consolidated statutory basis capital and surplus (including AVR) increased from $1,102.0 million at December 31, 2005 to $1,120.3 million at June 30, 2006. The principal factors resulting in this increase were gains from operations of $66.3 million, offset by dividends to shareholders of $40.0 million and unrealized losses of $8.2 million.
On April 27, 2006, the Phoenix Life Board of Directors declared a dividend of $40.0 million to its sole shareholder, The Phoenix Companies, Inc., which was paid on May 5, 2006.
Net Capital Requirements
Our broker-dealer subsidiaries are each subject to the net capital requirements imposed on registered broker-dealers by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each is also required to maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that does not exceed 15:1. At June 30, 2006, the largest of these subsidiaries had net capital of approximately $9.7 million, which is $9.2 million in excess of its required minimum net capital of $0.5 million. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital for that subsidiary was 0.8:1. The ratios of aggregate indebtedness to net capital for each of our other broker-dealer subsidiaries were also below the regulatory ratio at June 30, 2006 and their respective net capital each exceeded the applicable regulatory minimum.
Obligations Related to Pension and Postretirement Employee Benefit Plans
As of June 30, 2006, there were no material changes to our obligations related to pension and postretirement employee benefit plans as described in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
See Note 9 to our interim financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Related Party Transactions
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, or State Farm, currently owns of record more than five percent of our outstanding common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, our subsidiaries paid total compensation of $12.0 million and $8.7 million, respectively, to entities which were either subsidiaries of State Farm or owned by State Farm employees, for the sale of our insurance and annuity products. Our subsidiaries paid total compensation of $22.2 million and $16.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for such sales.

We have carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of June 30, 2006, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the three months ended on June 30, 2006, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
General
In addition to the matters discussed below, we are, in the normal cause of business, involved in litigation both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, employer, investment adviser, investor or taxpayer. In addition, various regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, we believe that their outcomes are not likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and litigation’s inherent unpredictability, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows. See “Risk Factors” in our 2005 Form 10-K as well as Note 11 to our interim financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2005 Form 10-K for additional information.
Discontinued Reinsurance Business
In 1999, we discontinued our reinsurance operations through a combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain retained group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off. We adopted a formal plan to stop writing new contracts covering these risks and to end the existing contracts as soon as those contracts would permit. However, we remain liable for claims under contracts which have not been commuted.
We have established reserves for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves are based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect from our retrocessionaires and the likely legal and administrative costs of winding down the business.
Our total reserves, including reserves for amounts recoverable from retrocessionaires, were $75.0 million as of June 30, 2006 and $60.0 million as of December 31, 2005. Our total amounts recoverable from retrocessionaires related to paid losses were $20.0 million as of June 30, 2006 and $20.0 million as of December 31, 2005. We did not recognize any gains or losses related to our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
We expect our reserves and reinsurance to cover the run-off of the business; however, the nature of the underlying risks is such that the claims may take years to reach the reinsurers involved. Therefore, we expect to pay claims out of existing estimated reserves for up to ten years as the level of business diminishes. In addition, unfavorable or favorable claims and/or reinsurance recovery experience is reasonably possible and could result in our recognition of additional losses or gains, respectively, in future years. Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings, as well as the lack of sufficient claims information (which has resulted from disputes among ceding reinsurers leading to delayed processing, reporting blockages and standstill agreements among reinsurers), the range of any reasonably possible additional future losses or gains is not currently estimable. However, it is our opinion, based on current information and after consideration of the provisions made in these financial statements, as described above, that any future adverse or favorable development of recorded reserves and/or reinsurance recoverables will not have a material effect on our financial position.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We face significant risks, any of which could have a significant or material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity. The risks described below update the risk factors described in our 2005 Form 10-K and should be read in addition to those risk factors. The risk factors described in this Form 10-Q and our 2005 Form 10-K may not be the only risks we face. This information should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in this Form 10-Q and the other reports and materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Downgrades to PNX’s debt ratings and Phoenix Life’s financial strength ratings could increase policy surrenders and withdrawals, adversely affect relationships with distributors, reduce new sales and earnings from certain of our life insurance products and increase our future borrowing costs.
Rating agencies assign Phoenix Life financial strength ratings, and assign us debt ratings, based in each case on their opinions of the relevant company’s ability to meet its financial obligations.
Financial strength ratings reflect a rating agency’s view of an insurance company’s ability to meet its obligations to its insureds. These ratings are therefore key factors underlying the competitive position of life insurers. Downgrades could adversely affect our reputation and, hence, our relationships with existing distributors and our ability to establish additional distributor relationships. If this were to occur, we might experience a decline in sales of certain products and the persistency of existing customers. At this time, we cannot estimate the impact on sales or persistency. A significant decline in our sales or persistency could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Any rating downgrades may result in increased interest costs in connection with future borrowings. Such an increase would decrease our earnings and could reduce our ability to finance our future growth on a profitable basis. Downgrades may also trigger defaults or repurchase obligations.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
