Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	Transamerica Advisors Life Insurance Company (“TALIC” or the “Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, LLC (“AUSA”). AUSA is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a limited liability share company organized under Dutch law.
	For a complete discussion of the Company’s 2013 Financial Statements and accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The interim Financial Statements for the three and six month periods are unaudited; however in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the Financial Statements have been included. These unaudited Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The nature of the Company’s business is such that results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
	Basis of Reporting
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company also submits financial statements to insurance industry regulatory authorities, which are prepared on the basis of statutory accounting principles (“SAP”). The significant accounting policies and related judgments underlying the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.
	Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to prior period financial statements, where appropriate, to conform to the current period presentation. In the Balance Sheets, a liability balance representing outstanding checks has moved from the cash and cash equivalents line to a new line item called checks not yet presented for payment. In the Statements of Income, there is a reclassification between interest credited to policyholder liabilities and policy benefits of $1,390 and $4,541, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. In the Statements of Cash Flows the change in payables for collateral under securities loaned and reverse repurchase agreements has moved from cash flows from investing activities to cash flows from financing activities. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholder’s equity of the prior period.
	Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
	The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are: fair value of certain invested assets, asset valuation allowances, deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements, value of business acquired, goodwill, policyholder liabilities, income taxes, and potential effects of unresolved litigated matters.
	Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
	Derivatives are used by the Company to manage risk associated with interest rate or equity market risk or volatility. Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Balance Sheets at fair value. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in net derivative gains (losses) in the Statements of Income.
	To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge (which includes the item and risk that is being hedged), the derivative that is being used and how hedge effectiveness is being assessed. For hedge accounting purposes, a distinction is made between fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. Currently, the Company only has cash flow hedges.
	A cash flow hedge is the hedge of the exposure to variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into the Statements of Income when the Company’s earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged item. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized as a component of net derivative gains (losses) in the Statements of Income.
	Limited Partnerships
	At June 30, 2014 the Company had investments in two limited partnerships that were not publicly traded. Both partnerships are carried at estimated fair value for which one is derived from management’s review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis and the other was derived from recent market activity.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company sells a fixed contingent annuity (also sometimes referred to as a contingent deferred annuity (“CDA”)), which includes a stand-alone living benefit (“SALB”). Revenues for CDAs consist of fees assessed based on a percentage of the participants’ covered asset pool, which are assets that are not internally managed by the Company. Fees on CDAs are recognized as they are assessed or earned.
	Subsequent Events
	The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the financial statements are issued provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date.
	Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves.
	Future Accounting Guidance
	Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Transfers and Servicing
	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The guidance requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings and amends accounting for repurchase financings. It also requires disclosure for (1) repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings and (2) certain transactions accounted for as a sale. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, except for disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as secured borrowings which will be effective on April 1, 2015. We do not expect the new accounting requirements to impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position. We are evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s disclosures.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Note 2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
	Fair Value Hierarchy
	The Company has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
	Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Balance Sheets are categorized as follows:
	Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
	Level 2. Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
		a)	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
		b)	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets
		c)	Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable
		d)	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means
	Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	The Company recognizes transfers between levels at the beginning of the quarter.
	The following table presents the Company’s hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(a)	Securities are classified as Level 1 if the fair value is determined by observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 securities primarily include highly liquid U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities. Securities are classified as Level 2 if the fair value is determined by observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or prices for similar assets. Securities are classified as Level 3 if the valuations are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 consists principally of fixed maturity securities whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes and internal models. These internal models primarily use projected cash flows discounted using relevant risk spreads and market interest rate curves. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, less than 0.5% of fixed maturity AFS securities were valued using internal models.
(b)	Cash equivalents are primarily valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Operating cash is not included in the above table.
(c)	Limited partnership investments in which management is able to determine that observable market inputs have been used and can be redeemed at net asset value in 90 days or less are considered Level 2. The Company has an investment in a limited partnership for which the fair value is derived from management’s review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis and is considered a Level 3 measurement. The valuation utilizing these financial statements is on a one quarter lag.
(d)	Separate Accounts assets are carried at the net asset value provided by the fund managers.
(e)	The Company issued contracts containing guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders (“GMWB”) and obtained reinsurance on guaranteed minimum income benefit riders (“GMIB reinsurance”). GMWB and GMIB reinsurance are treated as embedded derivatives and are required to be reported separately from the host contract. In addition, the Company issues SALB contracts which are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of these guarantees is calculated as the present value of future expected payments to policyholders less the present value of assessed fees attributable to the guarantees. Given the complexity and long-term nature of these guarantees, their fair values are determined using stochastic techniques under a variety of market return, discount rates and actuarial assumptions. Since many of the assumptions are unobservable and are considered to be significant inputs to the liability valuation, the liability included in future policy benefits has been reflected within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
(f)	Level 2 derivatives include inflation swaps, variance swaps, total return swaps and equity collars for which the Company utilized readily accessible quoted index levels and broker quotes. The fair value for inflation swaps is calculated as the difference between the consumer price index (or related readily accessible quoted inflation index level) at the reporting date from the last reset date, multiplied by the notional value of the swap. The fair value for the variance swaps is calculated as the difference between the estimated volatility of the underlying Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P”) at maturity to the actual volatility of the underlying S&P index at initiation (i.e., strike) multiplied by the notional value of the swap. Total return swaps are valued based on the change in the underlying equity index as of the last reset date. Fair value for the equity collar’s put and call options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model using market observable inputs for the underlying market price and volatility surface.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, respectively.
The following table provides a summary of the change in assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

In certain circumstances, the Company will obtain non-binding quotes from brokers to assist in the determination of fair value. If those quotes can be corroborated by other market observable data, the investments will be classified as Level 2. If not, the investments are classified as Level 3 due to the unobservable nature of the brokers’ valuation processes. The decrease in Level 3 fixed maturity AFS securities at June 30, 2014 was due to a security transferring from Level 3 to Level 2 due to the availability of market observable data. The increase in Level 3 fixed maturity AFS securities at December 31, 2013 was driven by the purchase of five securities at Level 3 within the period. The increase was partially offset by two securities transferring from Level 3 to Level 2 due to the availability of market observable data from an external source.
The Company’s Level 3 liabilities (assets) consist of provisions for GMWB, SALB and GMIB reinsurance. The fair value of these guarantees is calculated as the present value of future expected payments to policyholders less the present value of assessed fees attributable to the guarantees. Given the complexity and long-term nature of these guarantees which are unlike instruments available in financial markets, their fair values are determined using stochastic techniques under a variety of market return scenarios. A variety of factors are considered, including expected market rates of return, equity and interest rate volatility, credit spread, correlations of market returns, discount rates and actuarial assumptions. For GMWB and SALB, increases (decreases) in credit spread in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement and increases (decreases) in volatility in isolation would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Changes in the Company’s credit spread and volatility assumption have an inverse reaction for GMIB reinsurance, due to this reserve being an asset.
The expected returns are based on risk-free rates, such as the current London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward curve. The credit spread, which is the most significant unobservable input, is set by using the credit default swap (“CDS”) spreads of a reference portfolio of life insurance companies, adjusted to reflect the subordination of senior debt holders at the holding company level to the position of policyholders at the operating company level (who have priority in payments to other creditors). The credit spread was 30 basis points (“bps”) and 45 bps at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
For equity volatility, the Company uses a term structure assumption with market-based implied volatility inputs for the first five years and a long-term forward rate assumption of 25% thereafter. The volume of observable option trading from which volatilities are derived generally declines as the contracts’ term increases, therefore, the volatility curve grades from implied volatilities for five years to the ultimate rate. The resulting volatility assumption in year 20 for the S&P (expressed as a spot rate) was 23.5% and 23.9% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Correlations of market returns across underlying indices are based on historical market returns and their inter-relationships over a number of years preceding the valuation date. Assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, such as lapses, included in the models are derived in the same way as the assumptions used to measure insurance liabilities. These assumptions are reviewed at each valuation date and updated based on historical experience and observable market data as required.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities (assets) at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the change in GMWB and GMIB reinsurance reserves was primarily driven by positive equity market performance and declining interest rates. During 2013, the change in GMWB and GMIB reinsurance reserves was primarily driven by increased interest rates, updated policyholder behavior assumptions and better than expected equity market performance. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 the change in the SALB reserve was due to increases in equity markets.

-1	The Company has an investment in a limited partnership for which the fair value is derived from management’s review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis. Management did not make any adjustments to the valuation from the underlying financial statements. As a result, inputs are not developed by management to determine the fair value measurement for this investment.
-2	The SALB is a relatively new product with fewer than 100 policies. Due to the small size of this block the liability was determined based on fees earned.

-1	Subsequent unrealized gains (losses) on OTTI securities are included in OCI-OTTI.
The total number of securities in an unrealized loss position was 79 and 113 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
There were two securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position where fair value had declined below amortized cost by greater than 20% at June 30, 2014. The two investments had an estimated fair value of $12 with unrealized losses of $9. At December 31, 2013 there was one security in a continuous unrealized loss position where fair value had declined below amortized cost by greater than 20%. The security had an estimated fair value of $1,695 with an unrealized loss of $461.
Unrealized gains (losses) incurred during the first six months of 2014 and 2013 were primarily due to price fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates and credit spreads. If the Company has the intent to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost, securities are written down to fair value. If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows. As the remaining unrealized losses in the portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be impaired.
The components of net unrealized gains (losses) and OTTI included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:
		June 30,				December 31,

The Company records certain adjustments to policyholder account balances in conjunction with the unrealized holding gains or losses on investments classified as available-for-sale. The Company adjusts a portion of these liabilities as if the unrealized holding gains or losses had actually been realized, with corresponding credits or charges reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no adjustments to policyholder account balances in conjunction with the unrealized holding gains or losses on investments classified as available-for-sale.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate
Mortgage loans on real estate consist entirely of mortgages on commercial real estate. Prepayment premiums are collected when borrowers elect to prepay their debt prior to the stated maturity and are included in net realized investment gains (losses), excluding OTTI on securities in the Statements of Income. There were no prepayment premiums collected during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Loans are considered impaired when it is probable that based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A valuation allowance is established when a loan is impaired for the excess carrying value of the loan over its estimated collateral value. In addition to the valuation allowance for specific loans, a general reserve is estimated based on a percent of the outstanding loan balance. The general reserve at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $22 and $27, respectively. The change in the reserve is reflected in net realized investment gains (losses), excluding OTTI on securities in the Statements of Income. There was one impaired mortgage loan at June 30, 2014 with a specific reserve of $1,140 and an unpaid principal balance of $2,669. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the impaired mortgage loan recorded interest income of $63 and $65, respectively, subsequent to the impairment which is reflected in net investment income on the Statements of Income. There were no impaired mortgage loans at December 31, 2013.
The change in the credit loss allowances on mortgage loans by type of property at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
Commercial		June 30,				December 31,

The commercial mortgages are geographically diversified throughout the United States with the largest concentrations in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Virginia, California, and Delaware which account for approximately 82% of mortgage loans at June 30, 2014.
The credit quality of mortgage loans by type of property at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:
Commercial		June 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
AAA - AA		$	9,399			$	16,758
A			31,818				20,053
BBB			3,809				9,648
Total mortgage loans on real estate			45,026				46,459
Less: reserves			(1,162	)			(27	)
Total mortgage loans on real estate, net		$	43,864			$	46,432
The credit quality for the commercial mortgage loans was determined based on an internal credit rating model which assigns a letter rating to each mortgage loan in the portfolio as an indicator of the quality of the mortgage loan. The internal credit rating model was designed based on rating agency methodology, then modified for credit risk associated with the Company’s mortgage lending process, taking into account such factors as projected future cash flows, net operating income, and collateral value. The model produces a rating score and an associated letter rating which is intended to align with S&P ratings as closely as possible. Information supporting the risk rating process is updated at least annually. While mortgage loans with a lower rating carry a higher risk of loss, adequate reserves for loan losses have been established to cover those risks.
Securities Lending
Financial assets that are loaned to a third party or that are transferred subject to a repurchase agreement at a fixed price are not derecognized as the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of asset ownership. The loaned securities are included in fixed maturity AFS securities in the Balance Sheets. A liability is recognized for cash collateral received, required initially at 102%, on which interest is accrued. If the fair value of the collateral is at any time less than 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities, the counterparty is mandated to deliver additional collateral, the fair value of which, together with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction, is at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the payable for collateral under securities loaned was $253,030 and $260,506, respectively. The amortized cost of securities out on loan at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $217,693 and $251,183, respectively. The estimated fair value of securities out on loan at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $245,201 and $247,221, respectively.
Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
The Company uses several types of derivatives to manage the capital market risk associated with the GMWB.
S&P futures contracts are used to hedge the equity risk associated with these types of variable guaranteed products, in particular the claim and/or revenue risks of the liability portfolio. Net settlements on the futures occur daily. The realized gains (losses) on settlement of these futures have been recorded in net derivative losses in the Statements of Income.
The Company uses variance swaps to hedge equity risk. During 2013, the Company also entered into total return swaps which are based on the S&P. The Company recognizes gains (losses) from the change in fair value of the variance swaps and total return swaps in net derivative losses in the Statements of Income.
The Company also uses equity collars to hedge equity risk. These derivatives were purchased in the fourth quarter of 2012 as part of a hedging program which, with a zero cost at issue, hedges a portion of equity market decline by selling a portion of market upside above the Company’s long-term expected return. The Company recognizes gains (losses) from the change in fair value of the equity collars in net derivative losses in the Statements of Income. The equity collars were disposed of during the fourth quarter of 2013 due to changing market conditions and business needs.
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into cash flow hedging transactions on Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) utilizing interest rate swaps to lengthen portfolio duration and to hedge the variability of cash flows due to changes in inflation.
The following table presents the notional and fair value for hedging instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
At June 30, 2014, the before-tax deferred net losses on derivatives recorded in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to the Statements of Income during the next twelve months are ($1,354). This expectation is based on the anticipated interest payments on the hedged investments in TIPS that will occur over the next twelve months, at which time the Company will recognize the deferred gains (losses) as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the investment cash flows.
The Company receives or pledges collateral related to these derivative transactions. The credit support agreement contains a fair value threshold of $1,000 over which collateral needs to be pledged by the Company or its counterparty. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has pledged securities in the amount of $39,034 and $31,213, respectively, to counterparties. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company did not receive cash collateral from counterparties.
In addition, in order to trade futures, the Company is required to post collateral to an exchange (sometimes referred to as margin). The fair value of collateral posted in relation to the futures margin was $4,661 and $8,452 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Offsetting of Financial Instruments
The Company has derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements. These agreements include provisions to setoff positions with the same counterparties in the event of default by one of the parties.
The following tables present the offsetting of derivative assets for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

OTTI
If management determines that a decline in the value of an AFS equity security is other-than-temporary, the cost basis is adjusted to estimated fair value and the decline in value is recorded as a net realized investment loss. For debt securities, the manner in which an OTTI is recorded depends on whether management intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before its anticipated recovery. If management intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before recovery, the OTTI is recognized in earnings for the difference between amortized cost and fair value. If these criteria are not met, the OTTI is bifurcated into two pieces: a credit loss is recognized in earnings at an amount equal to the difference between the amortized cost of the debt security and the present value of the security’s anticipated cash flows, and a non credit loss is recognized in OCI for any difference between the fair value and the net present value of the debt security at the impairment measurement date.
The following table sets forth the amount of credit loss impairments on fixed maturity securities held by the Company as of the dates indicated, for which a portion of the OTTI loss was recognized in OCI, and the corresponding changes in such amounts at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company had no impairment losses recognized in the Statements of Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s impairment losses recognized in the Statements of Income were $100 and $51, respectively, with no associated value of business acquired amortization. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company impaired its holding of a previously OCI impaired 2006 vintage residential mortgage backed security (“RMBS”) and a previously OCI impaired 2007 vintage RMBS due to adverse changes in cash flows.

Value of Business Acquired ("VOBA"), Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs ("DAC"), and Deferred Sales Inducements ("DSI")	'
	Note 4. Value of Business Acquired (“VOBA”), Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (“DAC”), and Deferred Sales Inducements (“DSI”)
	VOBA
	VOBA reflects the estimated fair value of in force contracts acquired and represents the portion of the purchase price that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future cash flows from the life insurance and annuity contracts in force at the acquisition date. VOBA is based on actuarially determined projections, for each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality, Separate Accounts performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns and other factors. Actual experience on the purchased business may vary from these projections. If estimated gross profits or premiums differ from expectations, the amortization of VOBA is adjusted to reflect actual experience. The long-term equity growth rate assumption for the amortization of VOBA, DAC and DSI was 8% and 9% at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	The change in the carrying amount of VOBA for the three and six months ended June 30 was as follows:
		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		June 30,						June 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013

	Change in VOBA carrying amount	$	(6,141	)	$	(9,597	)	$	(11,497	)	$	(4,500	)
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the decrease in VOBA was primarily driven by an increase in adjustments related to unrealized (gains) losses and OTTI on investments resulting from increased unrealized gains during the period.
	DAC and DSI
	The change in the carrying amount of DAC and DSI for the three and six months ended June 30 was as follows:

	The change in the carrying amount of DAC and DSI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily driven by a reserve increase as well as increased hedge costs resulting in regular accretion when compared to the same period in 2013.

Variable_Contracts_Containing_

Variable Contracts Containing Guaranteed Benefits	6 Months Ended

Variable Contracts Containing Guaranteed Benefits	'
	Note 5. Variable Contracts Containing Guaranteed Benefits
	The Company records liabilities for contracts containing a guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) and guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”) as a component of future policy benefits in the Balance Sheets and changes in the liabilities are included as a component of policy benefits in the Statements of Income.
	The components of the changes in the variable annuity GMDB and GMIB liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30 were as follows:
		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		June 30,						June 30,
	GMDB	2014			2013			2014			2013

	Total	$	(471	)	$	3,339		$	3,008		$	(3,938	)
	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the change in reserves was driven by strong Separate Account performance and a drop in interest rates resulting in a decrease in death benefit reserves when compared to 2013.
	The variable annuity GMDB liability at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $113,678 and $122,590, respectively. The variable annuity GMIB liability at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $67,912 and $64,904, respectively.
	The Company has issued variable life contracts in which the Company contractually guarantees to the contract owner a GMDB. In general, contracts containing GMDB provisions provide a death benefit equal to the amount specified in the contract regardless of the level of the contract’s account value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, an insignificant amount of variable life guaranteed benefits were recorded as policy benefits in the Statements of Income as incurred or paid.

Income_Taxes

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Income Taxes	'
	Note 6. Income Taxes
	The effective tax rate was not meaningful for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Differences between the effective rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 35% principally were the result of Separate Accounts dividends-received deduction (“DRD”) and the valuation allowance on net operating loss carryforward.
	The Company uses the asset and liability method in providing income taxes on all transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements. The asset and liability method requires that deferred taxes be adjusted to reflect the tax rates at which future taxable amounts will be settled or realized. The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts it believes it will ultimately owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the realization of certain tax deductions and credits.
	The provision for income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following for the three and six months ended June 30:
		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		June 30,						June 30,
		2014			2013			2014		2013
	Current federal income tax benefit	$	-		$	(9,684	)	$	-	$	(9,883	)
	Deferred federal income tax expense		4,311			18,918			17,453		9,500

	Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	4,514		$	9,234		$	18,273	$	(383	)
	The provision for income tax receivable (payable) consists of the following for the periods ending June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
		June 30,			December 31,
		2014			2013
	Current federal income tax receivable	$	2		$	508
	Current state income tax receivable		119			118

	Deferred state income tax payable		(1,777	)		(957	)
	Net income tax payable	$	(79,446	)	$	(42,038	)
	At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has a tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $187,196 and $179,654, respectively (this includes losses that are anticipated to be used in the consolidated group to reflect the income statement impact of the losses that wouldn’t be used if filing separately). At December 31, 2013, management determined that deferred tax assets on the net operating loss carryforward and other assets are not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making the assessment.
	The Company has analyzed all material tax positions under the guidance of ASC 740, Income Taxes, related to the accounting for uncertainty in income tax, and determined there were tax benefits of $2,931 (gross $8,374) that should not be recognized at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which primarily relate to uncertainty regarding the sustainability of certain deductions taken on the 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 U.S. Federal income tax returns. To the extent these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will not impact the effective tax rate in a future period. It is not anticipated that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within twelve months of the reporting date.
	The components of the change in the unrecognized tax benefits were as follows:
		June 30,			December 31,
		2014			2013

The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, taxes are payable to or receivable from Transamerica Corporation in amounts that would result had the company filed a separate tax return with taxing authorities. Any tax differences between the Company’s separately calculated provision and cash flows attributable to benefits from consolidation have been recognized as capital contributions from Transamerica Corporation. At June 30, 2014, the Company recognized capital contributions from Transamerica Corporation in connection with the tax allocation agreement in the amount of $99,319. There were no capital contributions or returns of capital in 2013. Intercompany income tax balances are settled within thirty days of payment to or filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
	The Company filed a separate federal income tax return for the years 2008 through 2012 but no examination by the Internal Revenue Service has commenced. A tax return has not yet been filed for 2013 or 2014.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance	'
	Note 9. Reinsurance
	In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured life and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding mortality risk to other insurance enterprises or reinsurers under indemnity reinsurance agreements, primarily quota share coverage and coinsurance agreements. The maximum amount of mortality risk retained by the Company is approximately $1,000 on single and joint life policies.
	Indemnity reinsurance agreements do not relieve the Company from its obligations to contract owners. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers so as to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, net reinsurance receivables (payable) were $3,293 and ($249), respectively. The Company did not have a reinsurance reserve at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	In addition, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to guaranteed benefit features contained in certain variable annuity contracts. Specifically, the Company reinsures certain GMIB and GMDB provisions to the extent reinsurance capacity is available in the marketplace. At June 30, 2014, 36% and 5% of the account value for variable annuity contracts containing GMIB and GMDB provisions, respectively, were reinsured. At December 31, 2013, 36% and 6% of the account value for variable annuity contracts containing GMIB and GMDB provisions, respectively, were reinsured.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	Transamerica Advisors Life Insurance Company (“TALIC” or the “Company”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, LLC (“AUSA”). AUSA is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a limited liability share company organized under Dutch law.
	For a complete discussion of the Company’s 2013 Financial Statements and accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The interim Financial Statements for the three and six month periods are unaudited; however in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the Financial Statements have been included. These unaudited Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The nature of the Company’s business is such that results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Basis of Reporting	'
	Basis of Reporting
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company also submits financial statements to insurance industry regulatory authorities, which are prepared on the basis of statutory accounting principles (“SAP”). The significant accounting policies and related judgments underlying the Company’s financial statements are summarized below.
	Certain reclassifications and format changes have been made to prior period financial statements, where appropriate, to conform to the current period presentation. In the Balance Sheets, a liability balance representing outstanding checks has moved from the cash and cash equivalents line to a new line item called checks not yet presented for payment. In the Statements of Income, there is a reclassification between interest credited to policyholder liabilities and policy benefits of $1,390 and $4,541, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. In the Statements of Cash Flows the change in payables for collateral under securities loaned and reverse repurchase agreements has moved from cash flows from investing activities to cash flows from financing activities. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholder’s equity of the prior period.
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions	'
	Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
	The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are: fair value of certain invested assets, asset valuation allowances, deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements, value of business acquired, goodwill, policyholder liabilities, income taxes, and potential effects of unresolved litigated matters.
Derivatives and Hedge Accounting	'
	Derivatives and Hedge Accounting
	Derivatives are used by the Company to manage risk associated with interest rate or equity market risk or volatility. Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Balance Sheets at fair value. If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in net derivative gains (losses) in the Statements of Income.
	To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge (which includes the item and risk that is being hedged), the derivative that is being used and how hedge effectiveness is being assessed. For hedge accounting purposes, a distinction is made between fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation. Currently, the Company only has cash flow hedges.
	A cash flow hedge is the hedge of the exposure to variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into the Statements of Income when the Company’s earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged item. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized as a component of net derivative gains (losses) in the Statements of Income.
Limited Partnerships	'
	Limited Partnerships
	At June 30, 2014 the Company had investments in two limited partnerships that were not publicly traded. Both partnerships are carried at estimated fair value for which one is derived from management’s review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis and the other was derived from recent market activity.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company sells a fixed contingent annuity (also sometimes referred to as a contingent deferred annuity (“CDA”)), which includes a stand-alone living benefit (“SALB”). Revenues for CDAs consist of fees assessed based on a percentage of the participants’ covered asset pool, which are assets that are not internally managed by the Company. Fees on CDAs are recognized as they are assessed or earned.
Subsequent Events	'
	Subsequent Events
	The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the financial statements are issued provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date.
	Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves.
Future Accounting Guidance	'
	Future Accounting Guidance
	Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Transfers and Servicing
	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The guidance requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings and amends accounting for repurchase financings. It also requires disclosure for (1) repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings and (2) certain transactions accounted for as a sale. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, except for disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as secured borrowings which will be effective on April 1, 2015. We do not expect the new accounting requirements to impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position. We are evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the Company’s disclosures.

	(a)	Securities are classified as Level 1 if the fair value is determined by observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 securities primarily include highly liquid U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities. Securities are classified as Level 2 if the fair value is determined by observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or prices for similar assets. Securities are classified as Level 3 if the valuations are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 consists principally of fixed maturity securities whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes and internal models. These internal models primarily use projected cash flows discounted using relevant risk spreads and market interest rate curves. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, less than 0.5% of fixed maturity AFS securities were valued using internal models.
	(b)	Cash equivalents are primarily valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Operating cash is not included in the above table.
	(c)	Limited partnership investments in which management is able to determine that observable market inputs have been used and can be redeemed at net asset value in 90 days or less are considered Level 2. The Company has an investment in a limited partnership for which the fair value is derived from management’s review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis and is considered a Level 3 measurement. The valuation utilizing these financial statements is on a one quarter lag.
	(d)	Separate Accounts assets are carried at the net asset value provided by the fund managers.
	(e)	The Company issued contracts containing guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders (“GMWB”) and obtained reinsurance on guaranteed minimum income benefit riders (“GMIB reinsurance”). GMWB and GMIB reinsurance are treated as embedded derivatives and are required to be reported separately from the host contract. In addition, the Company issues SALB contracts which are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of these guarantees is calculated as the present value of future expected payments to policyholders less the present value of assessed fees attributable to the guarantees. Given the complexity and long-term nature of these guarantees, their fair values are determined using stochastic techniques under a variety of market return, discount rates and actuarial assumptions. Since many of the assumptions are unobservable and are considered to be significant inputs to the liability valuation, the liability included in future policy benefits has been reflected within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	(f)	Level 2 derivatives include inflation swaps, variance swaps, total return swaps and equity collars for which the Company utilized readily accessible quoted index levels and broker quotes. The fair value for inflation swaps is calculated as the difference between the consumer price index (or related readily accessible quoted inflation index level) at the reporting date from the last reset date, multiplied by the notional value of the swap. The fair value for the variance swaps is calculated as the difference between the estimated volatility of the underlying Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P”) at maturity to the actual volatility of the underlying S&P index at initiation (i.e., strike) multiplied by the notional value of the swap. Total return swaps are valued based on the change in the underlying equity index as of the last reset date. Fair value for the equity collar’s put and call options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model using market observable inputs for the underlying market price and volatility surface.

	-1	The Company has an investment in a limited partnership for which the fair value is derived from management’s review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis. Management did not make any adjustments to the valuation from the underlying financial statements. As a result, inputs are not developed by management to determine the fair value measurement for this investment.
	-2	The SALB is a relatively new product with fewer than 100 policies. Due to the small size of this block the liability was determined based on fees earned.

[1]	Securities are classified as Level 1 if the fair value is determined by observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 securities primarily include highly liquid U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities. Securities are classified as Level 2 if the fair value is determined by observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or prices for similar assets. Securities are classified as Level 3 if the valuations are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 consists principally of fixed maturity securities whose fair value is estimated based on non-binding broker quotes and internal models. These internal models primarily use projected cash flows discounted using relevant risk spreads and market interest rate curves. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, less than 0.5% of fixed maturity AFS securities were valued using internal models
[2]	Cash equivalents are primarily valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Operating cash is not included in the above table.
[3]	Limited partnership investments in which management is able to determine that observable market inputs have been used and can be redeemed at net asset value in 90 days or less are considered Level 2. The Company has an investment in a limited partnership for which the fair value is derived from management's review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis and is considered a Level 3 measurement. The valuation utilizing these financial statements is on a one quarter lag.
[4]	Separate Accounts assets are carried at the net asset value provided by the fund managers.
[5]	Level 2 derivatives include inflation swaps, variance swaps, total return swaps and equity collars for which the Company utilized readily accessible quoted index levels and broker quotes. The fair value for inflation swaps is calculated as the difference between the consumer price index (or related readily accessible quoted inflation index level) at the reporting date from the last reset date, multiplied by the notional value of the swap. The fair value for the variance swaps is calculated as the difference between the estimated volatility of the underlying Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P") at maturity to the actual volatility of the underlying S&P index at initiation (i.e., strike) multiplied by the notional value of the swap. Total return swaps are valued based on the change in the underlying equity index as of the last reset date. Fair value for the equity collar's put and call options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model using market observable inputs for the underlying market price and volatility surface.
[6]	The Company issued contracts containing guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit riders ("GMWB") and obtained reinsurance on guaranteed minimum income benefit riders ("GMIB reinsurance"). GMWB and GMIB reinsurance are treated as embedded derivatives and are required to be reported separately from the host contract. In addition, the Company issues SALB contracts which are required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of these guarantees is calculated as the present value of future expected payments to policyholders less the present value of assessed fees attributable to the guarantees. Given the complexity and long-term nature of these guarantees, their fair values are determined using stochastic techniques under a variety of market return, discount rates and actuarial assumptions. Since many of the assumptions are unobservable and are considered to be significant inputs to the liability valuation, the liability included in future policy benefits has been reflected within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has an investment in a limited partnership for which the fair value is derived from management's review of the underlying financial statements that were prepared on a GAAP basis. Management did not make any adjustments to the valuation from the underlying financial statements. As a result, inputs are not developed by management to determine the fair value measurement for this investment.

[3]

The SALB is a relatively new product with fewer than 100 policies. Due to the small size of this block the liability was determined based on fees earned.

[1]	The fair value of mortgage loans on real estate is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and/or similar remaining maturities.
[2]	Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balance. Fair value is estimated as equal to the book value of the loan.
