Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company is incorporated under the insurance laws of the State of Illinois and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York. Zurich Kemper Life Insurance Company of New York, a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, received its license from the state of New York early in 2001 and began writing business in May of 2001. Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, "KILICO" or "the Company"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kemper Corporation ("Kemper"), a non-operating holding company.
- In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals have been made for a fair statement of the results of KILICO for the periods included in these financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes in the 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
- The Company, Federal Kemper Life Assurance Company ("FKLA"), Zurich Life Insurance Company of America ("ZLICA"), and Fidelity Life Association ("FLA"), operate under the trade name Zurich Life ("ZL"), formerly known as Zurich Kemper Life. For purposes of operating segment disclosure, Zurich Life also includes the operations of Zurich Direct, Inc., an affiliated direct marketing agency and excludes FLA, as it is owned by its policyholders.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Zurich Life is segregated by Strategic Business Unit ("SBU"). The SBU concept has each SBU concentrate on a specific customer market. The SBU is the focal point of Zurich Life because it is at the SBU level that Zurich Life can clearly identify customer segments and then work to understand and satisfy the needs of each customer. The contributions of Zurich Life's SBUs to consolidated revenues, operating results and certain balance sheet data pertaining thereto, are shown in the following tables on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Zurich Life is segregated into the Life Brokerage, Financial Institutions ("Financial"), Retirement Solutions Group ("RSG") and Direct SBUs. The SBUs are not managed at the legal entity level, but rather at the Zurich Life level. Zurich Life's SBUs cross legal entity lines, as certain similar products are sold by more than one legal entity. The vast majority of KILICO's business is derived from the Financial and RSG SBUs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (collectively, "KILICO", "the Company", "we", "our" or "us") recorded net income of $13.5 million in the first six months of 2001, compared with net income of $20.5 for the first six months of 2000.
The following table reflects the components of net income:

The following table reflects the major components of net realized capital gains and losses included in net income.

Fixed maturities | $ 10.1 | $ (4.0) | $ 8.1 | $ (1.7) |
- -12-
Operating earnings before amortization of goodwill decreased to $13.9 million in the first six months of 2001, compared with $28.5 million in the first six months of 2000. This decrease was primarily due to:
- a decrease in spread revenue (net investment income less interest credited to policyholders)
- a decrease in premium income
- a decrease in separate account fees
- an increase in commissions and operating expenses, net of the deferral of insurance acquisition costs, and
- an increase in the amortization of deferred insurance acquisition costs and value of business acquired, offset by
- an increase in other income
- a decrease in income tax expense, and
- a decrease in taxes, licenses and fees.

Sales of annuity products consist of total deposits received, which are not recorded as revenue within the consolidated statements of operations. Variable annuity deposits, including deposits under the fixed account option, increased $434.7 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the first half of 2000. The increase in the variable annuity deposits is primarily due to continued strong sales of our DESTINATIONSSM product that offers both a variable and a fixed option, including dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost averaging allows contractholders the option to allocate amounts to the fixed account option and authorize pro-rated amounts to be automatically transferred into the separate account investment options over a specified period of time in order to reduce the effects of significant market fluctuations.
Fixed annuity deposits increased $8.1 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the first half of 2000, as certain investors continue to seek a more stable return on their investments during a time of market volatility.
The decrease in BOLI sales in 2001 was primarily due to the nature of the BOLI product - high dollar volume per sale, low frequency of sales.
The following table reflects our assets under management:
Assets Under Management
(in millions)
June 30 | December 31 | June 30 | |
General account | $ 3,705.0 | $ 3,689.5 | $ 3,614.4 |
Total assets under management increased $619.1 million from December 31, 2000, to June 30, 2001 primarily reflecting the increase in sales. The increase was somewhat mitigated by the fluctuations in the equity markets, as well as policyholder surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits for the period.
Premium income decreased $10.1 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, mainly due to the recapture of a reinsurance agreement by Federal Kemper Life Assurance Company ("FKLA") in the fourth quarter of 2000.
Spread revenue decreased in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, due to a decrease in investment income and an increase in interest credited to policyholders. The decrease in investment income was primarily due to a declining invested asset base, excluding unrealized gains (losses), partially offset by increasing investment yields on the investment portfolio. The declining invested asset base is attributable to an increase in acquisition expenses supporting the increase in sales, the transfer of assets to FKLA related to the recaptured reinsurance agreement and dividends paid to the parent company.
-14-
The increase in interest credited in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, was due to an increase in average interest crediting rates, primarily due to new business issued. This increase in average crediting rates was somewhat offset by lower policyholder account balances.
Separate account fees and charges consist of the following as of June 30, 2001 and 2000:
(in millions)
| Six Months Ended | Three Months Ended | ||
| 2001 | 2000 | 2001 | 2000 |
Separate account fees on non-BOLI |
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
(1) Includes $7.0 million and $7.4 million of cost of insurance charges ceded
related to appreciation of the BOLI funds withheld account for the six
months ended 2001 and 2000, respectively.
(2) There is a corresponding offset in taxes, licenses and fees.
Net BOLI cost of insurance charges and fees increased $1.9 million in the first half of 2001, compared with 2000, primarily reflecting $1.7 million in fees related to a group variable life policy sold to FKLA in February 2001, covering all current FKLA employees as of February 14, 2001. The transaction, as business-owned life insurance, will permit FKLA to indirectly fund certain of its employee benefit obligations.
Other income increased $4.4 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commission revenue from broker-dealer operations of approximately $4.7 million during the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. This increase was mainly attributable to the inclusion of PMG's operating results effective April 1, 2000. The increase in broker-dealer commission revenue was substantially offset by an increase in broker-dealer commission expense.
-15-
Policyholder surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits were as follows:
(in millions)
| Six Months Ended | Three Months Ended | ||
| 2001 | 2000 | 2001 | 2000 |
General account | $ 200.3 | $ 302.6 | $ 96.3 | $ 145.5 |
Reflecting the current interest rate environment and other competitive market factors, we adjust our crediting rates on interest-sensitive products over time in order to manage spread revenue and policyholder surrender and withdrawal activity. Spread revenue can also improve over time by increasing investment income.
General account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits decreased $102.3 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the first half of 2000, reflecting a decrease in death benefits as well as a decrease in overall surrenders and withdrawals as equity markets remained volatile. The decrease in death benefits resulted primarily from the recapture of the reinsurance agreement by FKLA, as previously mentioned.
Separate account surrenders, withdrawals and death benefits increased $70.4 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the first half of 2000. The increase is due to an $84.4 million surrender of a BOLI contract in the first quarter of 2001.
Taxes, licenses and fees decreased $9.2 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. The majority of the decrease is attributable to the decline in BOLI premium over the same period.
Commissions expense and the deferral of insurance acquisition costs increased in the first half of 2001, compared with the first half of 2000, due to the higher level of sales, excluding BOLI. Commission expense related to broker-dealer operations increased approximately $4.1 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to the inclusion of PMG's operating results, as mentioned earlier.
Amortization of deferred insurance acquisition costs increased $12.7 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the first half of 2000, primarily due to the higher volume of variable annuity business and the decline in market value of the separate account assets. The decline in value decreases estimated future gross profits and thereby accelerates amortization of the capitalized expenses.
-16-
Operating expenses increased $3.5 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000. This increase was partially due to an increase in salaries and related benefits, the majority of which is due to the inclusion of PMG's operating expenses, which increased approximately $1.5 million in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000.
Also contributing to the increases are operating expenses related to the newly formed New York company of $1.9 million in the first half of 2001.
Income tax expense decreased in the first half of 2001, compared with the same period in 2000, primarily due to the release of tax contingency reserves previously established and the recognition of prior period federal and state tax recoveries.
INVESTMENTS
Our principal investment strategy is to maintain a balanced, well-diversified portfolio supporting the insurance contracts written. We make shifts in our investment portfolio depending on, among other factors:
- our evaluation of risk and return in various markets
- consistency with our business strategy and investment guidelines approved by the board of directors
- the interest rate environment
- liability durations, and
- changes in market and business conditions.

Fixed maturities
We carry our fixed maturity investment portfolio, which is considered available for sale, at estimated fair value. The aggregate unrealized appreciation is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of any applicable income tax expense. The aggregate unrealized appreciation on fixed maturities at June 30, 2001 was $0.9 million. The aggregate unrealized depreciation on fixed maturities at December 31, 2000 was $32.6 million. We do not record tax benefits related to aggregate unrealized depreciation on investments. Fair values are sensitive to movements in interest rates and other economic developments and can be expected to fluctuate, at times significantly, from period to period.
At both June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, investment-grade fixed maturities, cash and short-term investments accounted for 83.9 percent of invested assets and cash.
At June 30, 2001, approximately 16.5 percent of investment-grade fixed maturities were mortgage-backed securities, down from 18.9 percent at December 31, 2000, due to sales and paydowns during 2001. We plan to continue to reduce our holdings of such investments over time.
-18-
Approximately 15.5 percent of the investment-grade fixed maturities at June 30, 2001 consisted of corporate asset-backed securities, compared with 15.1 percent at December 31, 2000. The majority of investments in asset-backed securities were backed by commercial mortgage-backed securities, home equity loans, manufactured housing loans and collateralized loan and bond obligations.
Real estate-related investments
The $140.8 million real estate portfolio, consisting of joint venture and third-party mortgage loans and other real estate-related investments, constituted 3.8 percent of cash and invested assets at June 30, 2001, compared with $140.4 million, or 3.7 percent, at December 31, 2000.
Real estate outlook
Loans to a master limited partnership (the "MLP") between subsidiaries of Kemper and subsidiaries of Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company, a former affiliate, amounted to $55.7 million (net of reserves) at June 30, 2001. The MLP's underlying investment primarily consists of a water development project located in California's Sacramento River Valley. On February 15, 2001, the State of California's State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") approved the project's water right permit. The SWRCB is proceeding with the issuance of the permit. Additional permits must be obtained before development on this project can proceed. These additional permits are expected to be received during 2001. The final resolution of this permit process will impact the long-term economic viability of the project. Loans to the MLP were placed on nonaccrual status at the beginning of 1999 to ensure that book value of the MLP did not increase over net realizable value.
Troubled real estate-related investments consisted of loans on nonaccrual status, before reserves and write-downs, totaling $85.6 million at June 30, 2001 and $86.3 million at December 31, 2000. Loans on nonaccrual status, after reserves and write-downs, amounted to $63.5 million at June 30, 2001 and $64.3 million at December 31, 2000.
Net investment income
Pre-tax net investment income totaled $126.8 million in the first half of 2001, compared with $130.6 million in the first half of 2000. This includes our share of operating gains and losses from equity investments in real estate consisting of other income less depreciation, interest and other expenses. Such operating results exclude interest expense on loans that are on nonaccrual status.
Total foregone investment income before tax on nonaccrual real estate-related investments was estimated at $4.4 million and $4.7 million as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
-19-
Foregone investment income is primarily due to certain real estate-related investments that have been placed on nonaccrual status. Any increase in nonperforming securities and either worsening or stagnant real estate conditions, would increase the expected adverse effect on future investment income and realized investment results.
Interest rates
In the first six months of 2001, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered interest rates six times, continuing the trend from the latter half of 2000. The declining interest rates contributed to an increase in unrealized fixed maturity investment gains. Interest rate fluctuations can cause significant fluctuations in both future investment income and future realized and unrealized investment gains and losses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We carefully monitor cash and short-term investments to maintain adequate balances for timely payment of policyholder benefits, expenses, taxes and policyholder's account balances. In addition, regulatory authorities establish minimum liquidity and capital standards. The major ongoing sources of liquidity are deposits for fixed annuities, premium income, investment income, separate account fees, other operating revenue and cash provided from maturing or sold investments.
