Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

1. Nature of Operations

Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York (the “Company”), formerly known as First Fortis Life Insurance Company, is a provider of life insurance products. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Assurant, Inc. (the “Parent”). Assurant, Inc.’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AIZ.

The Company is domiciled in New York and is qualified to sell life, health and annuity insurance in the state of New York. The Company’s revenues are derived principally from group employee benefits and credit products. The Company offers credit insurance, group disability insurance, group dental insurance and group life insurance.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Dollar amounts are in thousands except for number of shares.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

3. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2006, the Parent adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”) which replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Share-Based Payment and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under FAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under FAS 123R, the Parent must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost, and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The Parent adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method which requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of FAS 123R. The adoption of FAS 123R did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 changes the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Prior to FAS 154, the majority of voluntary changes in accounting principles were required to be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment within net income during the period of the change. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The adoption of FAS 154 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and, therefore, the Company is required to adopt FIN 48 by the first quarter of 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

4. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits

The Parent sponsors a defined benefit pension plan and certain other post retirement benefits covering employees and certain agents who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Plan assets of the defined benefit plans are not specifically identified by each participating subsidiary. Therefore, a breakdown of plan assets is not reflected in these financial statements. The Company has no legal obligation for benefits under these plans. The benefits are based on years of service and career compensation. The Parent’s pension plan funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts as the Parent may determine to be appropriate from time to time up to the maximum permitted, and to charge each subsidiary an allocable amount based on its employee census. Pension cost allocated to the Company amounted to approximately $31 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $62 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

The Company participates in a contributory profit sharing plan, sponsored by our Parent, covering employees and certain agents who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Benefits are payable to participants on retirement or disability and to the beneficiaries of participants in the event of death. For employees hired on or before December 31, 2000, the first 3% of an employee’s contribution is matched 200% by the Company. The second 2% is matched 50% by the Company. For employees hired after December 31, 2000, the first 3% of an employee’s contribution is matched 100% by the Company. The second 2% is matched 50% by the Company. The amount expensed by the Company was approximately $9 and $3 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $26 and $12 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

With respect to retirement benefits, the Company participates in other health care and life insurance benefit plans (postretirement benefits) for retired employees, sponsored by our Parent. Health care benefits, either through the Parent’s sponsored retiree plan for retirees under age 65 or through a cost offset for individually purchased Medigap policies for retirees over age 65, are available to employees who retire on or after January 1, 1993, at age 55 or older, with 10 years or more service. Life insurance, on a retiree pay all basis, is available to those who retire on or after January 1, 1993.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is regularly involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The Company may from time to time be subject to a variety of legal and regulatory actions relating to the Company’s current and past business operations. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending or future litigation, examination or investigation, the Company does not believe that any pending matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

PART I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except share data.)

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) addresses the financial condition of Union Security Life Insurance Company of New York (USLICONY or the Company) as of June 30, 2006, compared with December 31, 2005, and its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with the equivalent 2005 period. This discussion should be read in conjunction with USLICONY’s MD&A and annual audited financial statements as of December 31, 2005 included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereafter referred to as the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K) and unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Some of the statements in this MD&A and elsewhere in this report may contain forward-looking statements which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words. Any forward-looking statements contained in this report are based upon our historical performance and on current plans, estimates and expectations. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in this report. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to those described under the subsection entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2005 Form 10-K. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. Any forward-looking statements you read in this report reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, financial condition, growth strategy and liquidity.

Critical Factors Affecting Results

Our results depend on the adequacy of our product pricing, underwriting and the accuracy of our methodology for the establishment of reserves for future policyholder benefits and claims, returns on invested assets and our ability to manage our expenses. Therefore, factors affecting these items may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2005 Form 10-K described the accounting policies and estimates that are critical to the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The accounting policies and estimates described in the 2005 Form 10-K were consistently applied to the interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

(1) Includes amortization of deferred acquisition costs and underwriting, general and administrative expenses.

For The Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to The Three Months Ended June 30, 2005.

Net Income

Net income increased by $793, or 33%, to $3,226 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $2,433 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in net income was primarily due to improved loss ratios in our group disability and group life businesses and a reduction of selling, underwriting and general expenses in our domestic credit business, partially offset by an increase in our net realized losses on investments.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $1,993, or 11%, to $15,801 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $17,794 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease in revenues was due to a decrease in net earned premiums and other considerations of $1,947 due to the continued decline in our domestic credit business, decreases in our group dental, group disability and group life businesses resulting from lower sales and an increase in lapsation and an increase in net realized losses on investments.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased by $3,257, or 23%, to $10,872 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $14,129 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in policyholder benefits of $2,630 driven by favorable claims experience in our group life, group dental and group disability businesses. Policyholder benefits also decreased due to the

11

continued decline in our domestic credit business. Selling, underwriting and general expenses decreased due to the continued decline in our domestic credit business

For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to The Six Months Ended June 30, 2005.

Net Income

Net income increased by $1,140, or 23%, to $6,161 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $5,021 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in net income was primarily due to improved loss ratios in our group disability and group life businesses and a reduction of selling, underwriting and general expenses in our domestic credit business, partially offset by an increase in our net realized losses on investments.

Total Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $3,877, or 11%, to $31,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $35,777 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net earned premiums and other considerations decreased by $3,456 due to lower group dental, group disability and group life premiums as a result of lower sales and an increase in lapsation. Also contributing to the reduction in revenues is an increase in net realized losses on investments of $430.

Total Benefits, Losses and Expenses

Total benefits, losses and expenses decreased by $5,627, or 20%, to $22,492 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $28,119 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in policyholder benefits of $5,349 attributable to favorable claims experience in our group disability, group life and group dental businesses. Policyholder benefits also decreased due to the continued decline in our domestic credit business.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
