NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial 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
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments
were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise noted in Management's
Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Financial Statements. Operating results
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related footnotes included in the Golden American Life Insurance Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
CONSOLIDATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include Golden American Life
Insurance Company ("Golden American") and its wholly owned subsidiary, First
Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York ("First Golden," and with
Golden American, collectively, the "Companies"). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
ORGANIZATION
Golden American is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies,
Inc. ("EIC" or the "Parent"). EIC is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING
Groep N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The
Netherlands.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: As of January 1, 2001, the Companies adopted FAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended
and interpreted by FAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,
FAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, and certain FAS No. 133
implementation issues. This standard, as amended, requires companies to record
all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measure
those instruments at fair value. The manner in which companies are to record
gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivatives
depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge
accounting.
Adoption of FAS No. 133 did not have a material effect on the Companies'
financial position or results of operations given the Companies' limited
derivative and embedded derivative holdings.
The Companies chose to elect a transition date of January 1, 1999 for embedded
derivatives. Therefore, only those derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments
issued, acquired or substantively modified by the entity on or after January 1,
1999 are recognized as separate assets or liabilities. The cumulative effect of
the accounting change upon adoption was not material.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: The Companies may
from time to time utilize various derivative instruments to manage interest rate
and price risk (collectively, market risk). The Companies have appropriate
controls in place, and financial exposures are monitored and managed by the
Companies as an integral part of their overall risk management program.
Derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value.
The Companies occasionally purchase a financial instrument that contains a
derivative instrument that is "embedded" in the instrument. The Companies'
insurance products are also reviewed to determine whether they contain an
embedded derivative. The Companies assess whether the economic characteristics
of the embedded derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic
characteristics of the remaining component of the financial instrument or
insurance product (i.e., the host contract) and whether a separate instrument
with the same terms as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a
derivative instrument. When it is determined that the embedded derivative
6
possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to
the economic characteristics of the host contract and that a separate instrument
with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded
derivative is separated from the host contract and carried at fair value. In
cases where the host contract is measured at fair value, with changes in fair
value reported in current period earnings, or the Companies are unable to
reliably identify and measure the embedded derivative for separation from its
host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet at fair value
and is not designated as a hedging instrument.
PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business
Combinations", and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules,
goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. The Companies are required to adopt the new rules effective
January 1, 2002. The Companies are evaluating the impact of the adoption of
these standards and have not yet determined the effect of adoption on their
financial position and results of operations.
STATUTORY
Net loss for Golden American as determined in accordance with statutory
accounting practices was $206,801,000 and $6,017,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total statutory capital and surplus
was $323,288,000 at September 30, 2001 and $406,923,000 at December 31, 2000
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has revised the Accounting
Practices and Procedures Manual, the guidance that defines statutory accounting
principles. The revised manual was effective January 1, 2001, and has been
adopted, at least in part, by the States of Delaware and New York, which are the
states of domicile for Golden American and First Golden, respectively. The
revised manual has resulted in changes to the accounting practices that the
Companies use to prepare their statutory-basis financial statements. The impact
of these changes to the Companies' statutory-basis capital and surplus as of
January 1, 2001 was not significant.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the September 30, 2001 financial statement presentation.
NOTE 2 -- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income includes all changes in stockholder's equity during a
period except those resulting from investments by and distributions to the
stockholder. During the third quarters of 2001 and 2000, total comprehensive
income (loss) for the Companies amounted to $(4.8) million and $14.8 million,
respectively, and $12.6 million and $21.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Other comprehensive income (loss)
excludes net investment gains (losses) included in net income which merely
represent transfers from unrealized to realized gains and losses. These amounts
totaled $231,000 and $(834,000) during the third quarters of 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and $45,000 and $(1.4) million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Such amounts, which have been measured through
the date of sale, are net of income taxes and adjustments for the value of
purchased insurance in force and deferred policy acquisition costs totaling
$160,000 and $(1,080,000) for the third quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively,
and $56,000 and $(3,121,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENTS
INVESTMENT DIVERSIFICATIONS: The Companies' investment policies related to the
investment portfolio require diversification by asset type, company, and
industry and set limits on the amount which can be invested in an individual
issuer. Such policies are at least as restrictive as those set forth by
regulatory authorities. The following percentages relate to holdings at
September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. Fixed maturities included investments
in basic industrials (63% in 2001, 29% in 2000), conventional mortgage-backed
securities (10% in 2001, 20% in 2000), financial companies (8% in 2001, 14% in
2000), and other asset-backed securities (1% in 2001, 20% in 2000). Mortgage
loans on real estate have been analyzed by geographical location with
concentrations by state identified as Ohio (20% in 2001 and 4% in 2000) and
California (15% in 2001 and 15% in 2000). There are no other concentrations of
mortgage loans on real estate in any state exceeding ten percent at September
30, 2001. Mortgage loans on real estate have also been analyzed by collateral
7
type with significant concentrations identified in office buildings (22% in 2001
and 29% in 2000), industrial buildings (18% in 2001 and 11% in 2000), retail
facilities (20% in 2001 and 18% in 2000), and multi-family apartments (36% in
2001 and 10% in 2000).
INVESTMENT VALUATION ANALYSIS: The Companies analyze the investment portfolio at
least quarterly in order to determine if the carrying value of any investment
has been impaired. The carrying value of debt and equity securities is written
down to fair value by a charge to realized losses when impairment in value
appears to be other than temporary. During the first nine months of 2001, Golden
American determined that the carrying value of four bonds exceeded their
estimated net realizable value. As a result, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, Golden American recognized a total pre-tax loss of
$1,279,000 to reduce the carrying value of the bonds to their combined net
realizable value of $565,000.
NOTE 4 -- DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Companies may from time to time utilize various derivative instruments to
manage interest rate and price risk (collectively, market risk). The Companies
have appropriate controls in place, and financial exposures are monitored and
managed by the Companies as an integral part of their overall risk management
program. Derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. At
September 30, 2001, the Companies did not utilize any such derivatives.
The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Companies' embedded
derivatives at September 30, 2001 were $0, net of reinsurance. The estimated
fair values and carrying amounts of the embedded derivatives on a direct basis,
before reinsurance, were $4.9 million.
The fair value of these instruments was estimated based on quoted market prices,
dealer quotations or internal estimates.
NOTE 5 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
OPERATING AGREEMENTS: Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), an affiliate, acts as the
principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and distributor of the variable
insurance products issued by the Companies. DSI is authorized to enter into
agreements with broker/dealers to distribute the Companies' variable insurance
products and appoint representatives of the broker/dealers as agents. The
Companies paid commissions to DSI totaling $51,551,000 and $159,949,000 in the
third quarter and the first nine months of 2001, respectively ($47,073,000 and
$156,325,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2000).
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services to DSI. The
fee paid by DSI for these services is calculated as a percentage of average
assets in the variable separate accounts. For the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 2001, the fee was $5,749,000 and $17,282,000, respectively
($6,521,000 and $15,579,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2000).
The Companies have an asset management agreement with ING Investment Management
LLC ("ING IM"), an affiliate, in which ING IM provides asset management and
accounting services. Under the agreement, the Companies record a fee based on
the value of the assets managed by ING IM. The fee is payable quarterly. For the
third quarter and the first nine months of 2001, the Companies incurred fees of
$1,204,000 and $2,905,000, respectively, under this agreement ($596,000 and
$1,870,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2000).
Golden American has a guaranty agreement with Equitable Life Insurance Company
of Iowa ("Equitable Life"), an affiliate. In consideration of an annual fee,
payable June 30, Equitable Life guarantees to Golden American that it will make
funds available, if needed, to Golden American to pay the contractual claims
made under the provisions of Golden American's life insurance and annuity
contracts. The agreement is not, and nothing contained therein or done pursuant
thereto by Equitable Life shall be deemed to constitute, a direct or indirect
8
guaranty by Equitable Life of the payment of any debt or other obligation,
indebtedness, or liability, of any kind or character whatsoever, of Golden
American. The agreement does not guarantee the value of the underlying assets
held in separate accounts in which funds of variable life insurance and variable
annuity policies have been invested. The calculation of the annual fee is based
on risk based capital. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
Golden American incurred a fee of $12,000 and $7,000, respectively, under this
agreement.
Golden American provides certain advisory, computer, and other resources and
services to Equitable Life. Revenues for these services, which reduced general
expenses incurred by Golden American, totaled $1,360,000 and $4,079,000 for the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively ($1,534,000
and $4,810,000, respectively, for the same periods of 2000).
The Companies have a service agreement with Equitable Life in which Equitable
Life provides administrative and financial related services. Under this
agreement with Equitable Life, the Companies incurred expenses of $80,000 and
$232,000 for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001,
respectively ($339,000 and $1,006,000, respectively, for the same periods in
2000).
During 2001, the State of Delaware Insurance Department approved expense sharing
agreements with ING America Insurance Holdings for administrative, management,
financial, and information technology services. Under these agreements with ING
America Insurance Holdings, Golden American incurred expenses of $20.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
First Golden provides resources and services to DSI. Revenues for these
services, which reduced general expenses incurred by First Golden, totaled
$5,000 and $139,000 for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2001, respectively ($54,000 and $162,000, respectively, for the same periods in
2000).

Co., LLC, an affiliate. Revenues for these services, which reduced general

Golden American entered into a modified coinsurance agreement with Equitable
Life, an affiliate, covering a considerable portion of Golden American's
variable annuities issued after January 1, 2000, excluding those with an

effects of the agreement.
Under this agreement, Golden American received a net reimbursement of expenses
and charges of $31.6 million and $192.5 million for the third quarter and the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively ($102.9 million and $214.7
million for the same periods in 2000). This was offset by a decrease in deferred
acquisition costs of $50.1 million and $210.9 million, respectively, for the
third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 ($103.7 million and
$213.0 million for the same periods in 2000). At September 30, 2001, Golden
American had a receivable from Equitable Life of $1.9 million due to the timing
of the cash settlement for the modified coinsurance agreement. As at December
31, 2000, Golden American had a payable of 16.3 million under the agreement.
REINSURANCE AGREEMENT COVERING MINIMUM GUARANTEED BENEFITS:
On December 28, 2000, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement with
Security Life of Denver International Limited, an affiliate, covering minimum
guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits of variable
annuities issued after January 1, 2000. An irrevocable letter of credit was
obtained through Bank of New York in the amount of $60.0 million related to this
agreement. Under this agreement, Golden American recorded a reinsurance

any ING AIH borrowings is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest
rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration.
Under this agreement, Golden American incurred interest expense of $0 and

for the same periods in 2000).
NOTE 6 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
REINSURANCE: At September 30, 2001, the Companies had reinsurance treaties with
five unaffiliated reinsurers and three affiliated reinsurers covering a
significant portion of the minimum guaranteed death and living benefits under
its variable contracts as of September 30, 2001. Golden American remains liable
to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance
agreements.
At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Companies had net receivables
of $82,391,000 and $33,973,000, respectively, for reinsurance claims, reserve
credits, or other receivables from these reinsurers. These net receivables were
comprised of $2,955,000 and $1,820,000, respectively, for claims recoverable
from reinsurers, $4,024,000 and $4,007,000, respectively, for a payable for
reinsurance premiums, $60,500,000 and $14,642,000, respectively, for reserve
credits, and $22,960,000 and $21,518,000, respectively, for a receivable from an
unaffiliated reinsurer. Included in the accompanying financial statements are
net considerations to reinsurers of $8,593,000 for the third quarter of 2001 and
$21,211,000 for the first nine months of 2001 compared to $6,564,000 and
$14,472,000 for the same periods in 2000. Also included in the accompanying
financial statements are net policy benefits of $13,314,000 for the third
quarter of 2001 and $25,091,000 for the first nine months of 2001 compared to
$1,122,000 and $2,957,000 for the same period in 2000.
On June 30, 2000, effective January 1, 2000, Golden American entered into a
modified coinsurance agreement with Equitable Life, an affiliate, covering a
considerable portion of Golden American's variable annuities issued after
January 1, 2000, excluding those with an interest rate guarantee. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2001, Golden American had received a total settlement
of $192.5 million under this agreement, compared to $214.7 million for the same
period in 2000. The carrying value of the separate account liabilities covered
under this agreement represent 26.3% of total separate account liabilities
outstanding at September 30, 2001, compared to 17.1% at September 30, 2000.
Golden American remains liable to the extent Equitable Life does not meet its
11
obligations under the agreement. The accompanying financial statements are
presented net of the effects of the agreement.
On December 28, 2000, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement with
Security Life of Denver International Limited, an affiliate, covering minimum
guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits of variable
annuities issued after January 1, 2000. An irrevocable letter of credit was
obtained through Bank of New York in the amount of $60,000,000 related to this
agreement.
On December 29, 2000, First Golden entered into a reinsurance treaty with London
Life Reinsurance Company of Pennsylvania, an unaffiliated reinsurer, covering
the minimum guaranteed death benefits of First Golden's variable annuities
issued after January 1, 2000.
Effective June 1, 1994, Golden American entered into a modified coinsurance
agreement with an unaffiliated reinsurer. The accompanying financial statements
are presented net of the effects of the treaty.
INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS: At September 30, 2001, outstanding commitments to fund
mortgage loans totaled $35,000,000. There were no outstanding commitments to
fund mortgage loans at December 31, 2000.
GUARANTY FUND ASSESSMENTS: Assessments are levied on the Companies by life and
health guaranty associations in most states in which the Companies are licensed
to cover losses of policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated insurers. In some
states, these assessments can be partially offset through a reduction in future
premium taxes. The Companies cannot predict whether and to what extent
legislative initiatives may affect the right to offset. The associated cost for
a particular insurance company can vary significantly based upon its fixed
account premium volume by line of business and state premiums as well as its
potential for premium tax offset. The Companies have established an undiscounted
reserve to cover such assessments, review information regarding known failures,
and revise estimates of future guaranty fund assessments. The Companies charged
to expense $2,000 in guaranteed fund assessments in the first nine months of
2001 and 2000. At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Companies have
an undiscounted reserve $2,430,000 to cover future assessments (net of related
anticipated premium tax offsets), and have established an asset totaling
$691,000 and $733,000, respectively, for assessments paid which may be
recoverable through future premium tax offsets. The Companies believe this
reserve is sufficient to cover expected future guaranty fund assessments based
upon previous premiums and known insolvencies at this time.
LITIGATION: The Companies, like other insurance companies, may be named or
otherwise involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits and
arbitrations. In some class action and other actions involving insurers,
substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement or award
payments have been made. The Companies currently believe no pending or
threatened lawsuits or actions exist that are reasonably likely to have a
material adverse impact on the Companies.
VULNERABILITY FROM CONCENTRATIONS: The Companies have various concentrations in
the investment portfolio. As of September 30, 2001, the Companies had one
investment (other than bonds issued by agencies of the United States government)
exceeding ten percent of stockholder's equity. The Companies' asset growth, net
investment income, and cash flow are primarily generated from the sale of
variable and fixed insurance products and associated future policy benefits and
separate account liabilities. Substantial changes in tax laws that would make
these products less attractive to consumers and extreme fluctuations in interest
rates or stock market returns, which may result in higher lapse experience than
assumed, could cause a severe impact on the Companies' financial condition. One
broker/dealer generated 10% of the Companies' net sales during the third quarter
of 2001 (27% by two broker/dealers in the same period of 2000). One
broker/dealer generated 10% of the Companies' net sales during the first nine
months of 2001 (12% by one broker/dealer in the same period of 2000). The
Premium Plus product generated 47% and 50% of the Companies' sales during the
third quarter of 2001 and the first nine months of 2001 (73% and 74% in the same
periods of 2000). The ES II product generated 16% of the Companies' sales during
the third and the first nine months of 2001 (12% in the same periods of 2000).
The Guarantee product, introduced in the fourth quarter of 2000, generated 11%
and 16% of the Companies' sales during the third quarter and the first nine
months of 2001.
12
REVOLVING NOTE PAYABLE: To enhance short-term liquidity, the Companies
established revolving notes payable with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta (the "Bank").
These revolving notes payable were amended and restated in April 2001 with an
expiration date of May 31, 2002. The note was approved by the Boards of
Directors of Golden American and First Golden on August 5, 1998 and September
29, 1998, respectively. The total amount the Companies may have outstanding is
$85,000,000, of which Golden American and First Golden have individual credit
sublimits of $75,000,000 and $10,000,000, respectively. The notes accrue
interest at an annual rate equal to: (1) the cost of funds for the Bank for the
period applicable for the advance plus 0.225% or (2) a rate quoted by the Bank
to the Companies for the advance. The terms of the agreement require the
Companies to maintain the minimum level of Company Action Level Risk Based
Capital as established by applicable state law or regulation. During the third
quarters ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Companies incurred interest
expense of $118,000 and $0, respectively. During the nine months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, the Companies incurred interest expense of $117,000 and
$36,000, respectively. At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the
Companies had borrowings of $1,400,000 and $0, respectively, under these
agreements.
NOTE 7 -- MERGER OF FIRST GOLDEN WITH RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF
NEW YORK
On September 25, 2001, the Board of Directors of First Golden approved a plan of
merger to merge First Golden into ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York
("ReliaStar of NY"). The merger is anticipated to be effective on January 1,
2002 (the "merger date"), subject to the approval of the Insurance Department of
the State of New York, which has the discretion, as deemed necessary, to hold a
public hearing with regard to the merger. If approved, on the merger date, First
Golden will cease to exist and will be succeeded by ReliaStar of NY.

===================================================================================
13
For the Companies' variable and fixed insurance contracts, premiums collected
are not reported as revenues, but as deposits to insurance liabilities. Revenues
for these products are recognized over time in the form of investment spread and
product charges.
Variable annuity premiums net of reinsurance increased 13.6% during the first
nine months of 2001 compared to the same period of 2000. This increase is
primarily due to sales of the Guarantee product, a registered fixed annuity
product introduced in the last quarter of 2000. Sales for this product totaled
$463.0 million in the first nine months of 2001. Also contributing to the
increase is a decline of $0.1 billion in ceded variable annuity separate account
premiums to $1.6 billion for the first nine months of 2000. This is mainly due
to the effects of modified coinsurance agreements. Offsetting these increases is
a reduction of $574.4 million in the sales of variable annuity separate account
products in the first nine months of 2001 as compared to the first nine months
of 2000.
During the first nine months of 2001, First Golden began selling two fixed
annuity products, a Flex Annuity and a Multi-Year Guarantee Annuity ("MYGA").
Premiums, net of reinsurance, for variable products from a significant
broker/dealer having at least ten percent of total sales for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 totaled $132.8 million, or 10% of total premiums
($139.3 million, or 12% from a significant broker/dealer for the same period in
2000). Gross premiums for variable products from a significant broker/dealer
having at least ten percent of total sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, totaled $313.2 million, or 11% of total gross premiums ($659.9
million, or 22%, from two significant broker/dealers for the same period in
2000).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$201.5 22.8% $37.4 $164.1
==================================================================================
Total revenues increased 22.8% in the first nine months of 2001 from the same
period in 2000. Annuity and interest sensitive life product charges increased
12.9% in the first nine months of 2001 due to additional fees earned from the
higher average block of business under management in the variable separate
accounts and higher surrender charges.
Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services to Directed
Services, Inc. ("DSI"). The fee paid to Golden American for these services,
which is calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable separate
accounts, was $17.3 million and $15.6 million for the first nine months of 2001
and 2000, respectively. This increase was due to the increasing average assets
in the variable separate accounts.
Net investment income increased 39.9% in the first nine months of 2001 due to a
growth in invested assets during 2001 mainly related to the introduction of the
Guarantee product. The Companies had $1.5 million of realized losses on the sale
of investments in the first nine months of 2001, compared to losses of $4.5
million in the same period of 2000.
EXPENSES
Total insurance benefits and expenses increased $60.3 million, or 49.2%, to
$181.5 million in the first nine months of 2001 from the same period in 2000.
Interest credited to account balances decreased $22.6 million, or 15.4%, to
$124.1 million in the first nine months of 2001. The premium credit on the
14
Premium Plus product decreased $31.7 million to $73.9 million at September 30,
2001 due to a decrease in variable annuity sales of the separate account
product. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest credited
due to higher average account balances associated with the Companies' fixed
account options, mainly due to the introduction of the Guarantee product in the
fourth quarter of 2000.
The guaranteed benefits reserve change was $19.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 mainly due to the downturn in the equity markets.
Commissions were nearly unchanged from September 30, 2000 at $160.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This is consistent with relatively
stable gross premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
despite a change in the product sales mix. Insurance taxes, state licenses, and
fees increased $1.0 million, or 24.3%, to $5.0 million in the first nine months
of 2001. Changes in commissions and insurance taxes, state licenses, and fees
are generally related to changes in the level and mix or composition of fixed
and variable product sales. Most costs incurred as the result of sales have been
deferred, thus having very little impact on current earnings.
General expenses increased $23.4 million, or 38.2%, to $84.6 million in the
first nine months of 2001. The Companies use a network of wholesalers to
distribute products, and the salaries and sales bonuses of these wholesalers are
included in general expenses. The portion of these salaries and related expenses
that varies directly with production levels is deferred thus having little
impact on current earnings. Contributing to this increase in general expenses
are additional cost allocations during the first nine months of 2001. The
increase in general expenses was partially offset by reimbursements received
from DSI, Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa ("Equitable Life"), ING
Mutual Funds Management Co., LLC, an affiliate, Security Life of Denver
Insurance Company, an affiliate, Southland Life Insurance Company, an affiliate,
and United Life & Annuity Insurance Company, an affiliate, for certain advisory,
computer, and other resources and services provided by the Companies.
During the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, the value of purchased insurance
in force ("VPIF") was adjusted to increase amortization by $1,116,000 and
$687,000, respectively, to reflect changes in the assumptions related to the
timing of estimated gross profits. Based on current conditions and assumptions
as to the impact of future events on acquired policies in force, the expected
approximate net amortization relating to VPIF as of September 30, 2001 is $0.8
million for the remainder of 2001, $2.9 million in 2002, $2.7 million in 2003,
$2.4 million in 2004, $1.9 million in 2005, and $1.4 million in 2006. Actual
amortization may vary based upon changes in assumptions and experience.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DPAC") decreased $9.3
million, or 18.8%, in the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in the
amortization was mainly due to an increase in the amount of deferred costs that
have been offset due to the modified coinsurance agreement entered into during
the second quarter of 2000. Deferred policy acquisition costs decreased $27.7
million, or 31.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decline in
the deferred policy acquisition costs was mainly due to a lower deferral of the
premium credit on the Premium Plus product.
Expenses and charges reimbursed to Golden American under modified coinsurance
agreements decreased from $220.2 million for the first nine months in 2000 to
$194.0 million during the first nine months in 2001. This reimbursement is
primarily due to a modified coinsurance agreement which was entered into during
the second quarter of 2000, with Equitable Life, an affiliate, covering a
considerable portion of Golden American's variable annuities issued after
January 1, 2000, excluding those with an interest rate guarantee. Under this
reinsurance agreement, $192.5 million and $214.7 in expenses and charges were
reimbursed during the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. This
reimbursement offset deferred policy acquisition costs and non-deferrable costs
related to policies reinsured under this agreement.
Interest expense decreased 3.6%, or $0.5 million, to $14.4 million in the first
nine months of 2001. Interest expense on a $25 million surplus note issued
December 1996 and expiring December 2026 was $1.5 million for the first nine
months of 2001 and 2000. Interest expense on a $60 million surplus note issued
in December 1998 and expiring December 2028 was $3.3 million for the first nine
months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense on a $75 million surplus
note, issued September 1999 and expiring September 2029 was $4.4 million for the
first nine months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Interest expense on a $50
million surplus note, issued December 1999 and expiring December 2029 was $3.1
15
million for the first nine months of 2001 and 2000. Interest expense on a $35
million surplus note issued December 1999 and expiring December 2029 was $2.1
million for the first nine months of 2001 and $2.3 million in 2000. Golden
American also paid $25,000 in 2001 and $0.4 million in 2000 to ING America
Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH") for interest on a reciprocal loan
agreement. Interest expense on a revolving note payable with SunTrust Bank,
Atlanta was $117,000 and $36,000 for the first nine months of 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
INCOME
Net income was $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2001, a decrease of
$14.7 million, or 81.0% from the same period of 2000.
Comprehensive income for the first nine months of 2001 was $12.6 million, a
decrease of $9.2 million from comprehensive income of $21.8 million in the same
period of 2000.
Net loss on a statutory basis was $206.8 million and $6.0 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This decrease is mainly due to
increased reserves related to the downturn in the equity markets.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
INVESTMENTS
The financial statement carrying value and amortized cost basis of the
Companies' total investments increased 76.5% and 72.4%, respectively, during the
first nine months of 2001. All of the Companies' investments, other than
mortgage loans on real estate, are carried at fair value in the Companies'
financial statements. The increase in the carrying value of the Companies'
investment portfolio was mainly due to net purchases, as well as changes in
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of fixed maturities. Growth in the cost
basis of the Companies' investment portfolio resulted from the investment of
premiums from the sale of the Companies' fixed account options mainly due to the
introduction of the Guarantee product. The Companies manage the growth of
insurance operations in order to maintain adequate capital ratios. To support
the fixed account options of the Companies' insurance products, cash flow was
invested primarily in fixed maturities and mortgage loans on real estate.
At September 30, 2001, the Companies had no investments in default. At September
30, 2001, the Companies' investments had a yield of 6.3%. The Companies estimate
the total investment portfolio, excluding policy loans, had a fair value
approximately equal to 102.1% of amortized cost value at September 30, 2001.
FIXED MATURITIES: At September 30, 2001, the Companies had fixed maturities with
an amortized cost and an estimated fair value of $1.3 billion. The Companies
classify 100% of securities as available for sale. Net unrealized appreciation
of fixed maturities of $27.6 million was comprised of gross appreciation of
$36.1 million and gross depreciation of $8.5 million. Net unrealized holding
gains on these securities, net of adjustments for VPIF, DPAC, and deferred
income taxes of $5.1 million, were included in stockholder's equity at September
30, 2001.
The individual securities in the Companies' fixed maturities portfolio (at
amortized cost) include investment grade securities, which include securities
issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, and corporations that are rated at
least A- by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("Standard & Poor's") ($593.0
million or 45.6%), that are rated BBB+ to BBB- by Standard & Poor's ($297.7
million or 22.9%), and below investment grade securities, which are securities
issued by corporations that are rated BB+ and lower by Standard & Poor's ($105.0
million or 8.0%). Securities not rated by Standard & Poor's had a National
Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") rating of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6
($306.1 million or 23.5%). The Companies' fixed maturity investment portfolio
had a combined yield at amortized cost of 6.7% at September 30, 2001.
Fixed maturities rated BBB+ to BBB- may have speculative characteristics and
changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity of the issuer to make principal and interest payments than
is the case with higher rated fixed maturities.
At September 30, 2001, the amortized cost value of the Companies' total
investments in below investment grade securities, excluding mortgage-backed
securities, was $98.1 million, or 5.6%, of the Companies' investment portfolio.
The Companies do not expect the percentage of the portfolio invested in below
16
investment grade securities, excluding mortgage-backed securities, to exceed 10%
of the investment portfolio. At September 30, 2001, the yield at amortized cost
on the Companies' below investment grade portfolio was 8.5% compared to 6.8% for
the Companies' investment grade corporate bond portfolio. The Companies estimate
the fair value of the below investment grade portfolio was $92.5 million, or
94.3% of amortized cost value, at September 30, 2001.
Below investment grade securities have different characteristics than investment
grade corporate debt securities. Risk of loss upon default by the borrower is
significantly greater with respect to below investment grade securities than
with other corporate debt securities. Below investment grade securities are
generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.
Also, issuers of below investment grade securities usually have higher levels of
debt and are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions, such as recession or
increasing interest rates, than are investment grade issuers. The Companies
attempt to reduce the overall risk in the below investment grade portfolio, as
in all investments, through careful credit analysis, strict investment policy
guidelines, and diversification by company and by industry.
The Companies analyze the investment portfolio, including below investment grade
securities, at least quarterly in order to determine if the Companies' ability
to realize the carrying value on any investment has been impaired. For debt and
equity securities, if impairment in value is determined to be other than
temporary (i.e., if it is probable the Companies will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security), the cost basis
of the impaired security is written down to fair value, which becomes the new
cost basis. The amount of the write-down is included in earnings as a realized
loss. Future events may occur, or additional or updated information may be
received, which may necessitate future write-downs of securities in the
Companies' portfolio. Significant write-downs in the carrying value of
investments could materially adversely affect the Companies' net income in
future periods.
During the first nine months of 2001, fixed maturities designated as available
for sale with a combined amortized cost of $406.3 million were sold, called, or
repaid by their issuers. In total, net pre-tax gains from sales, calls, and
repayments of fixed maturity investments amounted to $1.4 million in the first
nine months of 2001.
During the first nine months of 2001, Golden American determined that the
carrying value of four impaired bonds exceeded their estimated net realizable
value. As a result, at September 30, 2001, Golden American recognized a total
pre-tax loss of approximately $1,279,000 to reduce the carrying value of the
bonds to their net realizable value of $565,000.
EQUITY SECURITIES: Equity securities with a cost of $8.6 million were redeemed
during the first nine months of 2001 resulting in a realized loss of $1.6
million. At September 30, 2001, the Companies owned equity securities with a
cost of $66,000.
MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE: Mortgage loans on real estate represent 12.3% of
the Companies' investment portfolio. Mortgages outstanding were $215.1 million
at September 30, 2001 with an estimated fair value of $223.8 million. The
Companies' mortgage loan portfolio includes 79 loans with an average size of
$2.7 million. The Companies' mortgage loans on real estate are typically secured
by occupied buildings in major metropolitan locations and not speculative
developments, and they are diversified by type of property and geographic
location. Mortgage loans on real estate have been analyzed by geographical
location with concentrations by state identified as Ohio (20% in 2001 and 4% in
2000) and California (15% in 2001 and 15% in 2000). Mortgage loans on real
estate have also been analyzed by collateral type with significant
concentrations identified in office buildings (22% in 2001 and 29% in 2000),
industrial buildings (18% in 2001 and 11% in 2000), retail facilities (20% in
2001 and 18% in 2000), and multi-family apartments (36% in 2001 and 10% in
2000). At September 30, 2001, the yield on the Companies' mortgage loan
portfolio was 7.0%.
At September 30, 2001, no mortgage loan on real estate was delinquent by 90 days
or more. The Companies' loan investment strategy is consistent with other life
insurance subsidiaries of ING in the United States. The Companies have
experienced a historically low default rate in their mortgage loan portfolios.
17
OTHER ASSETS
Reinsurance recoverables increased $48.4 million during the first nine months of
2001, due largely to an increase of $45.9 million in reinsurance reserves from
the intercompany reinsurance agreement between Golden American and Security Life
of Denver International Limited. On December 28, 2000, effective January 1,
2000, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement with Security Life of
Denver International Limited, an affiliate, covering variable annuity minimum
guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits. Negative
equity market returns during 2001 led to the increase in the reinsurance
reserves under this agreement.
Amounts due from affiliates were $10,000 and $38.8 million at September 30, 2001
and December 31, 2000, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the Companies had a
receivable of $35.0 million related to a capital contribution from its Parent,
EIC.
DPAC represents certain deferred costs of acquiring insurance business,
principally first year commissions and interest bonuses, premium credits, and
other expenses related to the production of business after the merger of EIC and
its subsidiaries with ING on October 24, 1997, (the "ING merger date"). The
Companies' previous balances of DPAC and VPIF were eliminated as of the ING
merger date, and an asset representing VPIF was established for all policies in
force at the ING merger date. VPIF is amortized into income in proportion to the
expected gross profits of in force acquired business in a manner similar to DPAC
amortization. Any expenses which vary directly with the sales of the Companies'
products are deferred and amortized. At September 30, 2001, the Companies had
DPAC and VPIF balances of $635.7 million and $17.3 million, respectively. During
2001 and 2000, the amount of direct policy acquisition costs deferred was
reduced due to the effects of expenses reimbursed under the modified coinsurance
agreement. During the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, VPIF was adjusted to
increase amortization by $1,116,000 and by $687,000, respectively, to reflect
changes in the assumptions related to the timing of estimated gross profits.
Goodwill totaling $151.1 million, representing the excess of the acquisition
cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, was established as a result of
the merger with ING. Accumulated amortization of goodwill through September 30,
2001 was $14.8 million.
Other assets increased $17.0 million from December 31, 2000, due to an increase
of $13.0 million in receivable for unsettled investment transactions.
At September 30, 2001, the Companies had $9.2 billion of separate account assets
compared to $9.8 billion at December 31, 2000. Net contributions to the separate
account were more than offset by a decrease in separate account assets resulting
from the negative equity market returns.
At September 30, 2001, the Companies had total assets of $12.0 billion,
relatively unchanged from December 31, 2000.
LIABILITIES
Future policy benefits for annuity and interest sensitive life products
increased $604.9 million, or 56.9%, to $1.7 billion reflecting net sales of the
Companies' fixed account options, net of transfers to the separate account
options at September 30, 2001.
Separate account liabilities decreased $587.2 million, or 6.0% to $9.2 billion
at September 30, 2001. Net contributions to the separate account were more than
offset by a decrease in separate account liabilities resulting from the negative
equity market returns.
On December 30, 1999, Golden American issued a $50 million, 8.179% surplus note
to Equitable Life, which matures on December 29, 2029. On December 8, 1999,
Golden American issued a $35 million, 7.979% surplus note to First Columbine
Life Insurance Company, an affiliate, which matures on December 7, 2029. On
September 30, 1999, Golden American issued a $75 million, 7.75% surplus note to
18
ING AIH, which matures on September 29, 2029. On December 30, 1999, ING AIH
assigned the surplus note to Equitable Life. On December 30, 1998, Golden
American issued a $60 million, 7.25% surplus note to Equitable Life, which
matures on December 29, 2028. On December 17, 1996, Golden American issued a $25
million, 8.25% surplus note to Equitable of Iowa Companies, which matures on
December 17, 2026. As a result of the merger of Equitable into EIC, the surplus
note is now payable to EIC.
Amounts due to affiliates decreased $10.5 million or 52.6% to $9.4 million
during the first nine months of 2001. This is mainly due to the partial cash
settlement of a liability for the modified coinsurance agreement with Equitable
Life.
Other liabilities increased $26.0 million or 37.5% to $95.4 million during the
first nine months of 2001 due to the increase in the payable for securities
purchased.
The Companies' total liabilities increased $35.0 million during the first nine
months 2001 and totaled $11.3 billion at September 30, 2001.
The effects of inflation and changing prices on the Companies' financial
position are not material since insurance assets and liabilities are both
primarily monetary and remain in balance. An effect of inflation, which has been
low in recent years, is a decline in stockholder's equity when monetary assets
exceed monetary liabilities.
STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
Additional paid-in capital increased $131.0 million or 22.4% from December 31,
2000 due to capital contributions from the Parent.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Liquidity is the ability of the Companies to generate sufficient cash flows to
meet the cash requirements of operating, investing, and financing activities.
The Companies' principal sources of cash are variable annuity premiums, product
charges, investment income, sales and maturities of investments, proceeds from
debt issuance, and capital contributions made by the Parent. Primary uses of
these funds are payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest and
premium credits, investment purchases, repayment of debt, as well as withdrawals
and surrenders.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $190.4 million in the first nine
months of 2001 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $142.9
million in the same period of 2000. The Companies have predominantly had
negative cash flows from operating activities since Golden American started
issuing variable insurance products in 1989. These negative operating cash flows
result primarily from commissions and other deferrable expenses related to the
continued growth in the variable annuity products. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, negative operating cash flows have been offset by
the effects of a modified coinsurance agreement entered into during the second
quarter of 2000 with Equitable Life. This resulted in a net cash settlement of
$192.5 million in the first nine months of 2001. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, this modified coinsurance resulted in a net cash settlement
of $214.7 million. Contributing to the increase in net cash provided by
operating activities for the first nine months of 2001 as compared to 2000 is an
increase in reserves for guaranteed benefits due to the negative equity market
returns.
Net cash used in investing activities was $597.3 million during the first nine
months of 2001 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $70.5
million in the same period of 2000. This increase in the net cash used in
investing activities is primarily due to net purchases of fixed maturities and
mortgage loans on real estate during the first nine months of 2001 versus net
sales in 2000. Net purchases of fixed maturities reached $504.1 million during
the first nine months of 2001 versus net sales of $53.1 million in the same
period of 2000. Net purchases of mortgage loans on real estate reached $115.4
million in the first nine months of 2001 versus net purchases of $4.7 million
during the same period in 2000. These investment purchases were mainly due to an
increase in sales of the Companies fixed account options, primarily from the
introduction of the Guarantee product in the fourth quarter of 2000.
19
Net cash provided by financing activities was $526.9 million during the first
nine months of 2001 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $162.4
million during the same period in 2000. In the first nine months of 2001, net
cash provided by financing activities was positively impacted by net fixed
account deposits of $965.3 million compared to $379.6 million in the same period
of 2000 primarily due to the introduction of the Guarantee product in the fourth
quarter of 2000. In addition, there was a decrease of $49.8 million in net
reallocations to separate accounts. In the first nine months of 2001, net cash
provided by financing activities was also positively impacted by an increase in
capital contributions from the Parent. The Companies received $131.0 million and
$80.0 million of capital contributions from the Parent in the first nine months
of 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Companies' liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of
liquid assets, such as cash or cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Additional sources of liquidity include borrowing facilities to meet short-term
cash requirements. Golden American maintains a $65.0 million reciprocal loan
agreement with ING AIH and the Companies have established an $85.0 million
revolving note facility with SunTrust Bank. This revolving note payable was
amended and restated in April 2001 with an expiration date of May 31, 2002.
Management believes that these sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the
Companies' short-term cash obligations.
Based on current trends, the Companies expect to continue to use net cash in
operating activities before reinsurance. It is anticipated that a continuation
of capital contributions from the Parent, the issuance of additional surplus
notes, and/or the use of modified coinsurance agreements will cover these net
cash outflows. ING AIH is committed to the sustained growth of Golden American.
During 2001, ING AIH will maintain Golden American's statutory capital and
surplus at the end of each quarter at a level such that: 1) the ratio of Total
Adjusted Capital divided by Company Action Level Risk Based Capital exceeds
300%; and 2) the ratio of Total Adjusted Capital (excluding surplus notes)
divided by Company Action Level Risk Based Capital exceeds 200%; and 3) Golden
American's statutory capital and surplus exceeds the "Amounts Accrued for
Expense Allowances Recognized in Reserves" as disclosed on page 3, Line 13A of
Golden American's Statutory Statement.
During the first quarter of 1999, Golden American's operations were moved to a
new site in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Currently, Golden American occupies
125,000 square feet of leased space. From January 1, 2001 to September 30, 2001,
First Golden's principal office was located in New York, New York, where certain
of the Company's records were maintained. The 2,568 square feet of office space
is leased through 2001. As of October 1, 2001, First Golden's principal office
moved to Woodbury, New York.
The ability of Golden American to pay dividends to its Parent is restricted.
Prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities is required for payment of
dividends to the stockholder which exceed an annual limit. During 2001, Golden
American cannot pay dividends to its Parent without prior approval of statutory
authorities.
Under the provisions of the insurance laws of the State of New York, First
Golden cannot distribute any dividends to its stockholder, Golden American,
unless a notice of its intent to declare a dividend and the amount of the
dividend has been filed with the New York Insurance Department at least thirty
days in advance of the proposed declaration. If the Superintendent of the New
York Insurance Department finds the financial condition of First Golden does not
warrant the distribution, the Superintendent may disapprove the distribution by
giving written notice to First Golden within thirty days after the filing. The
management of First Golden does not anticipate paying any dividends to Golden
American during 2001.
The NAIC's risk-based capital requirements require insurance companies to
calculate and report information under a risk-based capital formula. These
requirements are intended to allow insurance regulators to monitor the
capitalization of insurance companies based upon the type and mixture of risks
inherent in a company's operations. The formula includes components for asset
risk, liability risk, interest rate exposure, and other factors. The Companies
have complied with the NAIC's risk-based capital reporting requirements. Amounts
reported indicate the Companies have total adjusted capital well above all
required capital levels.
REINSURANCE: At September 30, 2001, Golden American had reinsurance treaties
with five unaffiliated reinsurers and three affiliated reinsurers covering a
significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death and living
20
benefits under its variable contracts. Golden American remains liable to the
extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance
agreements.
On June 30, 2000, effective January 1, 2000, Golden American entered into a
modified coinsurance agreement with Equitable Life, an affiliate, covering a
considerable portion of Golden American's variable annuities issued after
January 1, 2000, excluding those with an interest rate guarantee.
On December 28, 2000, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement with
Security Life of Denver International Limited, an affiliate, covering variable
annuity minimum guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits
of variable annuities issued after January 1, 2000. An irrevocable letter of
credit was obtained through Bank of New York in the amount of $25 million
related to this agreement. Effective September 30, 2001, the agreement was
amended, and the letter of credit amount was revised to $60 million.
On December 29, 2000, First Golden entered into a reinsurance treaty with London
Life Reinsurance Company of Pennsylvania, an unaffiliated reinsurer, covering
the minimum guaranteed death benefits of First Golden's variable annuities
issued after January 1, 2000.
MARKET RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT
- -------------------------------
Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Companies'
operations, including investment decisions, product development, and crediting
rates determination. As part of the risk management process, different economic
scenarios are modeled, including cash flow testing required for insurance
regulatory purposes, to determine that existing assets are adequate to meet
projected liability cash flows. Key variables include contractholder behavior
and the variable separate accounts' performance.
Contractholders bear the majority of the investment risks related to the
variable insurance products. Therefore, the risks associated with the
investments supporting the variable separate accounts are assumed by
contractholders, not by the Companies (subject to, among other things, certain
minimum guarantees). The Companies' products also provide certain minimum death
and guaranteed living benefits that depend on the performance of the variable
separate accounts. Currently, the majority of death and living benefit risks are
reinsured, which protects the Companies from adverse mortality experience and
prolonged capital market decline.
A surrender, partial withdrawal, transfer, or annuitization made prior to the
end of a guarantee period from the fixed account may be subject to a market
value adjustment. As the majority of the liabilities in the fixed account are
subject to market value adjustment, the Companies do not face a material amount
of market risk volatility. The fixed account liabilities are supported by a
portfolio principally composed of fixed rate investments that can generate
predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for the
fixed account considers the assets available for sale. This enables the
Companies to respond to changes in market interest rates, changes in prepayment
risk, changes in relative values of asset sectors and individual securities and
loans, changes in credit quality outlook, and other relevant factors. The
objective of portfolio management is to maximize returns, taking into account
interest rate and credit risks, as well as other risks. The Companies'
asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure
to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change.
On the basis of these analyses, management believes there is no material
solvency risk to the Companies. With respect to a 10% drop in equity values from
September 30, 2001 levels, variable separate account funds, which represent 85%
of the in force, pass the risk in underlying fund performance to the
contractholder (except for certain minimum guarantees). With respect to interest
rate movements up or down 100 basis points from September 30, 2001 levels, the
remaining 15% of the in force are fixed account funds and almost all of these
have market value adjustments which provide significant protection against
changes in interest rates.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Any forward-looking statement contained herein or in any other oral or written
statement by the Companies or any of their officers, directors, or employees is
qualified by the fact that actual results of the Companies may differ materially
from such statement, among other risks and uncertainties inherent in the
Companies' business, due to the following important factors:
1. Prevailing interest rate levels and stock market performance, which may
affect the ability of the Companies to sell their products, the market
value and liquidity of the Companies' investments, fee revenue, and the
lapse rate of the Companies' policies, notwithstanding product design
features intended to enhance persistency of the Companies' products.
2. Changes in the federal income tax laws and regulations, which may affect
the tax status of the Companies' products.
3. Changes in the regulation of financial services, including bank sales and
underwriting of insurance products, which may affect the competitive
environment for the Companies' products.
4. Increasing competition in the sale of the Companies' products.
5. Other factors that could affect the performance of the Companies,
including, but not limited to, market conduct claims, litigation, insurance
industry insolvencies, availability of competitive reinsurance on new
business, investment performance of the underlying portfolios of the
variable products, variable product design, and sales volume by significant
sellers of the Companies' variable products.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.
PRODUCTS
The Companies offer a portfolio of variable and fixed insurance products
designed to meet customer needs for tax-advantaged saving for retirement and
protection from death. The Companies believe longer life expectancies, an aging
population, and growing concern over the stability and availability of the
Social Security system have made retirement planning a priority for many
Americans. The target market for all products is consumers and corporations
throughout the United States.
Variable and fixed insurance products currently offered by the Companies include
seven variable annuity products and two fixed annuity products. During the year
2001, First Golden began selling two fixed insurance products, FGA New York Flex
and FGA New York MYGA. On May 1, 2001, Golden American began selling a new
variable insurance product called Landmark.
