Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements necessarily rely heavily on estimates, including assumptions as to annualized tax rates. 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 three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. 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, 2001. ORGANIZATION Golden American is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa ("Equitable Life" or the "Parent"). Equitable Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies, Inc. (EIC), which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden American") and its former wholly owned subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York ("First Golden," and collectively with Golden American, the "Companies"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. As of April 1, 2002, First Golden was merged into Reliastar Life Insurance Company of New York ("RLNY"). STATUTORY The net loss for Golden American as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices was $28.7 million and $77.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Total statutory capital and surplus was $296.9 million at March 31, 2002 and $451.6 million at December 31, 2001. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 information to conform to the 2002 financial statement presentation. NOTE 2 - NEW 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 standards, 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 are still amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Companies adopted the new standards effective January 1, 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the new standards resulted in an increase in net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002; however, the Companies are still evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards. The Companies are performing the first of the required impairment tests for goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and will complete this calculation as required by June 30, 2002. The Companies have not yet determined the effect of adoption on their financial position and results of operations. 6 Had the Companies been accounting for goodwill under SFAS No. 142 for all periods presented, the Companies' net income would have been as follows: For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 (IN THOUSANDS) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Reported net income $8,933 Add back goodwill amortization 1,056 ------------------------- Adjusted net income $9,989 ========================= NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENTS 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 quarter of 2002, Golden American determined that the carrying value of seven bonds exceeded their estimated net realizable value. As a result, at March 31, 2002, Golden American recognized a total pre-tax loss of $447,000 to reduce the carrying value of the bonds to their combined net realizable value of $557,000. During the first quarter of 2001, Golden American determined that the carrying value of three bonds exceeded their estimated net realizable value. As a result, at March 31, 2001, Golden American recognized a total pre-tax loss of $679,000 to reduce the carrying value of the bonds to their combined net realizable value of $389,000. DOLLAR ROLL AGREEMENTS: In 2001, the Companies began entering into dollar roll agreements to increase the return on investments and improve liquidity. These transactions involve a sale of securities by the Companies and an agreement to repurchase substantially the same securities as those sold, typically within one month. The dollar roll agreements are accounted for as short-term collateralized financings. The repurchase obligations totalled $63.3 million and $4.0 million at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Such borrowings were collaterized by investment securities with fair values approximately equal to loan value. The primary risk associated with short-term collaterized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Companies' exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was not material at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The Companies believe the counterparties to dollar roll agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal. 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 March 31, 2002, the Companies did not utilize any such derivatives. The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Companies' embedded derivatives at March 31, 2002 were $3.6 million ($3.1 million at December 31, 2001) on a direct basis, before reinsurance, and $0, net of reinsurance ($0 at December 31, 2001). 7 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 products and appoint representatives of the broker/dealers as agents. The Companies paid commissions to DSI totaling $64.0 million and $55.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 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 quarters ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the fee was $6.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Golden American has expense sharing agreements with certain of its affiliates. Golden American has an expense sharing agreement with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH") for administrative, management, financial, and information technology services. Under these agreements with ING AIH, Golden American incurred expenses of $13.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 ($10.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001). Golden America has an expense sharing agreement with ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ILIAC") for administrative, management, training, customer service, information technology, and distribution services. Under this agreement with ILIAC, Golden American's general expenses were reduced by a net amount of $6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 ($0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001). For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Companies received premiums, net of reinsurance, for variable products sold through eight affiliates, Locust Street Securities, Inc., Vestax Securities Corporation, DSI, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation, IFG Network Securities, Inc., Washington Square Securities, Inc., PrimeVest Financial Services, Inc., and Compulife Investor Services, Inc. of $23.9 million, $8.6 million, $0.6 million, $8.0 million, $5.8 million, $44.8 million, $27.0 million and $0.0, respectively ($9.4 million, $3.8 million, $0.1 million, $3.1 million, $1.6 million, $7.3 million, $3.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the same period of 2001). MODIFIED COINSURANCE AGREEMENT: 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 on or after January 1, 2000, excluding those with an interest rate guarantee. The financial statements are presented net of the effects of the agreement. Under this agreement, Golden American received a net reimbursement of expenses and charges of $28.7 million in the first quarter of 2002 ($110.7 million in the first quarter of 2001). This was offset by decreased deferred acquisition costs of $38.2 million ($108.1 million in the first quarter of 2001). At March 31, 2002, Golden American had a receivable from Equitable Life of $20.2 million due to the timing of the cash settlement for the modified coinsurance agreement. As of December 31, 2001, Golden American had a payable to Equitable Life of $22.6 million under the agreement due to the overpayment by Equitable Life of the cash settlement for the modified coinsurance 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 ("SLDI"), an affiliate, covering variable annuity minimum guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits of variable annuities issued on or after January 1, 2000. An irrevocable letter of credit was obtained through Bank of New York in the amount of $25.0 million related to this agreement. Effective December 24, 2001, the letter of credit 8 amount was revised to $70 million, and effective March 29, 2002, the letter of credit amount was revised to $75 million. Under this agreement, Golden American recorded a reinsurance recoverable of $38.4 million at March 31, 2002, and $28.8 million at December 31, 2001. NOTE 6 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES REINSURANCE: Golden American remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Companies had net receivables of $60.2 million and $56.0 million, respectively, for reinsurance claims, reserve credits, or other receivables from these reinsurers. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, these net receivables were comprised of $2.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively, for claims recoverable from reinsurers, $3.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for a payable for reinsurance premiums, $38.4 million and $28.8 million, respectively, for reserve credits, and $22.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, for reinsured surrenders and allowances due from an unaffiliated reinsurer. Included in the accompanying financial statements, excluding the modified coinsurance agreements, are net considerations to reinsurers of $13.4 million for the first quarter of 2002 compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2001. Also included in the accompanying financial statements are net policy benefits recoveries of $10.1 in the first quarter of 2002 compared to $3.4 million for same period in 2001. Under the modified coinsurance agreement which Golden American has with Equitable Life, disclosed in NOTE 5, Golden American received a total settlement of $28.7 million pertaining to the first quarter of 2002 ($110.7 million in the first quarter of 2001). The carrying value of the separate account liabilities covered under this agreement represent 32.5% of total separate account liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2002 (31.9% at December 31, 2001). Golden American remains liable to the extent Equitable Life does not meet its obligations under the agreement. The accompanying financial statements are presented net of the effects of the agreement. INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS: At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, outstanding commitments to fund mortgage loans totaled $1.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, outstanding commitments to fund fixed maturities totaled $10.6 million and $22.0 million, respectively. 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 March 31, 2002, the Companies had 2 investments (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 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. The Premium Plus product generated 27% of the Companies' sales during the first quarter of 2002 (50% in the same period of 2001). NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT: MERGER OF FIRST GOLDEN INTO RLNY On April 1, 2002, First Golden was merged into RLNY. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company ("ReliaStar"), the parent of Security-Connecticut Life Insurance Company ("Security-Connecticut"), who in turn is the parent of RLNY, paid to Golden American the preliminary merger consideration of $27.7 million in exchange for 100% of the shares of First Golden. ReliaStar contributed First Golden to Security-Connecticut who in turn contributed First Golden to RLNY. The final merger consideration of First Golden will be the fair market value as determined 9 by the first quarter statutory financial statement and will be recorded in the second quarter of 2002. Approval for the merger was obtained from the Insurance Departments of the States of New York and Delaware. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The purpose of this section is to discuss and analyze Golden American Life Insurance Company's ("Golden American") condensed consolidated results of operations. In addition, some analysis and information regarding financial condition and liquidity and capital resources has also been provided. This analysis should be read jointly with the condensed consolidated financial statements, the related notes, and the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, which appear elsewhere in this report. Golden American reports financial results on a consolidated basis. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Golden American and its subsidiary, First Golden American Life Insurance Company of New York ("First Golden," and collectively with Golden American, the "Companies"). Golden American is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa ("Equitable Life" or the "Parent"). Equitable Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies, Inc. ("EIC") which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- PREMIUMS Percentage Dollar Three Months ended March 31 2002 Change Change 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Variable annuity premiums: Separate account........................................ $326.4 260.4% $529.9 $(203.5) General account......................................... 669.2 53.0 231.8 437.4 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total variable annuity premiums............................ 995.6 325.7 761.7 233.9 Fixed annuity premiums..................................... 0.7 75.0 0.3 0.4 Variable life premiums..................................... 0.2 (33.3) (0.1) 0.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total premiums............................................. $996.5 324.8% $761.9 $234.6 ================================================================ 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 $761.7 million during the first three months of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. This increase is primarily due to the reduction of ceded variable annuity separate account premiums related to the modified coinsurance agreement with Equitable Life from $815.7 million in the first quarter of 2001 to $264.1 million in the first quarter of 2002. Also contributing to the increase in variable annuity premiums were sales of new variable annuity products of $281.8 million during the first quarter of 2002, including GoldenSelect Landmark, Multi-Rate Index, SmartDesign Advantage, SmartDesign Variable Annuity, and Retirement Solutions-ING Rollover Choice. Premiums, net of reinsurance, for variable products from a significant broker/dealer having at least ten percent of total sales for the first three months of 2002 totaled $106.4 million (11% of total premiums), compared to $23.0 million (10%) from a significant broker/dealer for the same period in 2001. Gross premiums for variable products from a significant broker/dealer (having at least ten percent of total sales) for the first three months in 2002, totaled $139.3 million (11%) of total gross premiums compared to $114.8 million (11%), from a significant broker/dealer for the same period in 2001. 10 REVENUES Percentage Dollar Three Months ended March 31 2002 Change Change 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Contract and other charges assessed against policyholders............................................. $45.0 10.0% $4.1 $40.9 Management fee revenue..................................... 6.7 9.8 0.6 6.1 Net investment income...................................... 33.4 72.2 14.0 19.4 Net realized capital losses................................

Contract and other charges assessed against policyholders increased $4.1 million or 10.0% in the first quarter of 2002, primarily due to additional fees earned from the higher average level of assets in the variable separate accounts. Golden American provides certain managerial and supervisory services to Directed Services, Inc. ("DSI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of EIC. The fee paid to Golden American for these services, which is calculated as a percentage of average assets in the variable separate accounts, was $6.3 million and $5.7 million for the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. This increase was due to increased average assets in the variable separate accounts. Net investment income increased $14.0 million or 72.2% in the first quarter of 2002 from the same period in 2001. This was due to a growth in invested assets backing the general account variable products. For the first three months of 2002, the Companies had net realized capital losses on investments of $15.7 million, mainly due to capital losses of $15.3 million from the sale of fixed maturities. The Companies also had write downs of $447,000 from seven impaired fixed maturities. EXPENSES Total benefits and expenses increased 47.5%, or $22.3 million, to $72.6 million in the first quarter of 2002. Interest credited and other benefits to policyholders increased 31.7%, or $13.3 million, to $55.3 million in the first quarter of 2002. This increase was largely due to higher average account balances associated with the Companies' general account options, as well as a non-recurring reinsurance gain. This was partially offset by lower premium credits on the Premium Plus product within the variable separate accounts. The premium credit payments decreased by $2.9 million due to a decrease in variable annuity sales of the separate account product. Commissions increased $7.8 million to $64.2 million in the first three months of 2002 due to increased sales of the general account options. Changes in commissions 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, having little impact on current earnings. General expenses increased $11.5 million or 42.7% in the first three months of 2002. 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 the increase in general expenses are additional salary and consulting expenses, as well as cost allocations during the first three months in 2002. The increase in general expenses was partially offset by reimbursements received from the Companies' affiliates including DSI, Equitable Life, ING Mutual Funds Management Co., LLC, Security Life of Denver Insurance Company, Southland Life Insurance Company, and United Life & Annuity Insurance Company, for certain advisory, computer, and other resources and services provided by the Companies. 11 Policy acquisition costs deferred are offset in part by the expenses reimbursed under modified coinsurance agreements. Policy acquisition costs deferred were $61.8 million in the first quarter of 2002, as compared to ($13.4) million in the first quarter of 2001. The change in the amount of policy acquisition costs deferred was mainly due to a decrease in the amount of deferred costs that have been offset due to modified coinsurance agreements ($38.2 million and $108.1 million for the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively). Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DPAC") decreased $16.0 million, or 97.0%, in the first quarter of 2002. The decrease in the amortization was mainly due to the lower net amount of deferred costs. During the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, value of business acquired ("VOBA") was adjusted to decrease amortization by $469,000 and $29,000, 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 VOBA as of March 31, 2002 is $2.6 million for the reminder of 2002, $2.8 million in 2003, $2.4 million in 2004, $1.9 million in 2005, $1.5 million in 2006, and $1.3 million in 2007. Actual amortization may vary based upon changes in assumptions and experience. Expenses and charges reimbursed under modified coinsurance agreements decreased by $83.1 million to $28.5 million during the first three months in 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. This reimbursement is primarily due to a modified coinsurance agreement, with Equitable Life 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, $28.7 million and $110.7 in expenses and charges were reimbursed during the first three months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. This reimbursement offset deferred policy acquisition costs and non-deferrable costs related to policies reinsured under this agreement. INCOME Net loss for the first three months of 2002 was $2.2 million, a decrease from net income of $8.9 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in net income is mainly due to the fact that in the first quarter of 2001 there were some nonrecurring reinsurance gains. In addition, the proportion of deferred expenses was lower in 2002 than in 2001. Comprehensive loss for the first three months of 2002 was $9.5 million and comprehensive income of $14.7 million for the same period in 2001. This decrease was partly due to the decline in net income and partly related to the change in unrealized gains and losses on fixed maturities during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001. The net loss for Golden American as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices was $28.7 million and $77.3 million in the first quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in statutory loss during the first quarter of 2002 was mainly due to reduced reserve change resulting from improved equity market returns during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. Total statutory capital and surplus was $296.9 million at March 31, 2002 and $451.6 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease in surplus relates to a temporary reduction due to a State of Delaware regulatory invesment restriction. FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- INVESTMENTS The financial statement carrying value and amortized cost basis of the Companies' total investments increased 18.1% and 18.2%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2002. 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. Growth in the cost basis of the Companies' investment portfolio resulted from the investment of premiums from sales of the general account products as well as increased use of the general account investment option as part of the variable annuity products. The Companies manage the growth of insurance operations in order to maintain adequate capital ratios. To support the general account options of the Companies' insurance products, cash flow was invested primarily in fixed maturities and mortgage loans on real estate. 12 The Companies' investments had an average yield of 6.2% at March 31, 2002. The Companies estimate the total investment portfolio, excluding policy loans, had a fair value approximately equal to 99.6% of amortized cost value at March 31, 2002. FIXED MATURITIES: At March 31, 2002, the Companies had fixed maturities with an amortized cost and an estimated fair value of $2.3 billion. The Companies classify 100% of securities as available for sale. Net unrealized depreciation of fixed maturities of $15.1 million was comprised of gross appreciation of $22.2 million and gross depreciation of $37.3 million. Net unrealized holding losses on these securities of $3.5 million were included in stockholder's equity at March 31, 2002 (net of adjustments for VOBA of $0.9 million, DPAC of $10.7 million, and deferred income taxes of $1.2 million, offset by a deferred income taxes valuation allowance of $1.2 million). 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 ($1.2 billion or 51.7%), that are rated BBB+ to BBB- by Standard & Poor's ($561.6 million or 24.0%), and below investment grade securities, which are securities issued by corporations that are rated BB+ and lower by Standard & Poor's ($68.5 million or 2.9%). Securities not rated by Standard & Poor's had a National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") rating of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, with 1 being the highest rating (totaling $502.3 million or 21.4%), and investments with a rating of 6 on which impairment writedowns have been recognized ($0.2 million or 0.0%). The Companies' fixed maturity investment portfolio had a combined yield at amortized cost of 6.4% on March 31, 2002. Fixed maturities rated BBB+ to BBB- (24% of the fixed maturities portfolio) 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 March 31, 2002, the amortized cost value of the Companies' total investment in below investment grade securities, excluding mortgage-backed securities, was $90.8 million, or 3.3%, of the Companies' investment portfolio. The Companies intend to purchase additional below investment grade securities, but do not expect the percentage of the portfolio invested in such securities to exceed 10% of the investment portfolio. At March 31, 2002, the average yield at amortized cost on the Companies' below investment grade portfolio was 8.4% 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 $88.5 million, or 97.4% of amortized cost value, at March 31, 2002. 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 issuer and/or guarantor 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. 13 During the first quarter of 2002, fixed maturities designated as available for sale with a combined amortized cost of $1.3 billion were sold, called, or repaid by their issuers. In total, net pre-tax losses from sales, calls, and repayments of fixed maturities amounted to $15.3 million during the first quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2002, Golden American determined that the carrying value of seven impaired fixed maturity investments exceeded their estimated net realizable value. As a result, during the first quarter of 2002, Golden American recognized a total pre-tax loss of approximately $0.4 million to reduce the carrying value of all impaired fixed maturity investments to their net realizable value of $0.6 million. At March 31, 2002, the Companies had nine fixed maturity investments in default. MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE: Mortgage loans on real estate represent 8.2% of the Companies' investment portfolio. Mortgages outstanding at amortized cost were $222.6 million at March 31, 2002 with an estimated fair value of $226.0 million. The Companies' mortgage loan portfolio includes 82 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 are diversified by type of property and geographic location. At March 31, 2002, 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. OTHER ASSETS Reinsurance recoverables increased $4.3 million during the first quarter of 2002, due largely to an increase of $9.6 million in reinsurance reserves from an intercompany reinsurance agreement between Golden American and Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI"). On December 28, 2000, effective January 1, 2000, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement with SLDI, an affiliate, covering variable annuity minimum guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits. Negative equity market returns during 2002 led to the increase in the reinsurance reserves under this agreement. Amounts due from affiliates were $20.0 million and $20,000 at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. At March 31, 2002, the Companies had a receivable of $22.6 million from Equitable Life related to the overpayment for the amounts due under the modified coinsurance agreement. Accrued investment income increased $4.4 million during the first three months of 2002, due to an increase in investments in fixed maturities during the first three months of 2002, which lead to an increase in investment income from fixed maturities. 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. Any expenses which vary directly with the sales of the Companies' products are deferred and amortized. VOBA is amortized into income in proportion to the expected gross profits of in force acquired business in a manner similar to DPAC amortization. At March 31, 2002, the Companies had DPAC and VOBA balances of $786.9 million and $22.3 million, respectively, as compared to DPAC and VOBA balances of $709.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2001. During the first quarter of 2002, additional policy acquisition costs were deferred due to a lower reimbursement of expenses under the modified coinsurance agreements. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for further information regarding the modified coinsurance agreements. At March 31, 2002, the Companies had $11.6 billion of separate account assets compared to $11.0 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase in separate account assets resulted from sales of the Companies' variable annuity products, net of redemptions, and from net policyholder transfers to the separate account options from the fixed account options within the variable products. 14 At March 31, 2002, the Companies had total assets of $15.8 billion, a 9.9% increase from December 31, 2001. LIABILITIES Future policy benefits increased $0.4 billion (17.2%), to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2002 reflecting net sales of the Companies' general account options, net of transfers to the separate account. Separate account liabilities increased $0.7 billion (6.2%), to $11.6 billion at March 31, 2002. Net contributions to the separate account were partially offset by a decrease in separate account liabilities resulting from negative equity market returns. Amounts due to affiliates decreased by $13.9 million from $25.1 million at December 31, 2001 to $11.2 million at March 31, 2002, mainly due to the settlement of a payable to Equitable Life related to the modified coinsurance agreement. Other liabilities increased $44.6 million from $85.0 million at December 31, 2001 to $129.6 at March 31, 2002, due primarily to the timing of the settlement of account transfers and an increase in outstanding checks. In conjunction with the volume of variable annuity sales, the Companies' total liabilities increased $1.4 billion, or 10.6%, during the first quarter of 2002 and totaled $15.0 billion at March 31, 2002. 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. 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 and product charges, investment income, maturing investments, proceeds from debt issuance, and capital contributions. 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 $127.4 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $107.6 million in the same period of 2001. A main source of cash provided from operating activities is an increase in other liabilities, net of a decrease in other assets, of $152.1 million in the first quarter of 2002. Net cash used in investing activities was $448.0 million during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $317.2 million in the same period in 2001. This increase in the net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to increased net purchases of fixed maturities during the first three months of 2002. Net purchases of fixed maturities reached $375.8 million in the first quarter of 2002 versus net purchases of $318.0 million in the same period in 2001. Net purchases of mortgage loans on real estate reached $8.8 million in the first quarter of 2002 versus net maturities of $0.8 million during the same period in 2001. Net purchase of short-term investments increased $63.0 million in the first quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. These investment purchases were mainly due to an increase in sales of the Companies' general account options. Net cash provided by financing activities was $308.0 million during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $235.9 million during the same period in 2001. During the first quarter of 2002, net cash provided by financing activities was positively impacted by net general account deposits of $635.1 million compared to $410.6 million in the same period of 2001 primarily due to the introduction of new variable annuity products. Offsetting these increases, during the first quarter of 2002, were net 15 reallocations to the Companies' separate accounts, which increased to $325.7 million from $176.1 million during the same period in 2001. 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 America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("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, given the continued growth of annuity sales. It is anticipated that a continuation of capital contributions from its 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 2002, ING AIH maintains 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%; 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 13 of Golden American's statutory statement. Golden American occupies 125,000 square feet of leased space in West Chester, Pennsylvania. At March 31, 2002, First Golden's principal office was located in Woodbury, New York, where certain of the Company's records were maintained. The ability of Golden American to pay dividends to the Parent is restricted. Prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities is required for payment of dividends to the stockholder which exceed an annual limit. During 2002, Golden American cannot pay dividends to Equitable Life without prior approval of statutory authorities. Under the provisions of the insurance laws of the State of New York, First Golden could not 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. First Golden did not pay dividends to Golden American during the first quarter ended March 31, 2002. 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 that the Companies have total adjusted capital above all required capital levels. REINSURANCE: At March 31, 2002, 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 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 covering a considerable portion of Golden American's variable annuities issued after January 1, 2000, excluding those with an interest rate guarantee. 16 On December 28, 2000, Golden American entered into a reinsurance agreement with SLDI, an affiliate, covering variable annuity minimum guaranteed death benefits and minimum guaranteed living benefits of variable annuities issued after January 1, 2000. Golden American also obtained an irrevocable letter of credit was obtained through Bank of New York in the amount of $25 million related to this agreement. Effective March 29, 2002, the letter of credit amount was revised to $75 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 on or 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 in the modeling process include anticipated contractholder behavior, and variable separate account performance. Contractholders bear the majority of the investment risks related to variable insurance products. The Companies' products also provide certain minimum death and guaranteed living benefits; the Companies' liabilities related to these benefits which depend in part 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 under a fixed account or product 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 risk, 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 currently no material solvency risk to the Companies. With respect to a 10% drop in equity values from year end 2001 levels, variable separate account funds, which represent 82% of the Companies' in force business, pass the risk in underlying fund performance to the contractholder (except for certain minimum benefits guarantees, described above). With respect to interest rate movements up or down 100 basis points from March 31, 2002 levels, the remaining 18% of the in force are fixed account funds, and almost all of these have market value adjustments which provide significant protection to the Companies against changes in interest rates. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. These estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an on-going basis based on historical developments, market conditions, industry trends and other information we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will conform to our estimates and assumptions, and that reported results of operations will not be materially adversely affected by the need to make accounting adjustments to reflect changes in these estimates 17 and assumptions from time to time. Item 7 of Golden American's Annual Report on Form 10K discusses several critical accounting policies which we believe are most sensitive to estimates and judgments and involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. There have been no material changes to that information during the first quarter of 2002. 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 equity 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' products, notwithstanding product design features intended to enhance persistency of the Companies' products. 2. Changes in the federal income tax laws and regulations, which benefit the tax treatment of investments that compete with annuity products for retirement savings may adversely affect the tax treatment of the Companies' products and benefits thereunder. 3. Changes in the regulation of financial services, including potential federal regulation of insurance, bank sales, and underwriting of insurance products, which may affect the competitive environment for the Companies' products. 4. Increasing competition from other market participants for the sale of annuity products. 5. Other factors that could affect the performance of the Companies, including, but not limited to, market conduct claims against the Companies and/or firms selling the Companies' product, 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 thirteen variable annuity products and two fixed annuity products. During the year 2002, Golden American began selling one new variable insurance product, Multi-Rate Index Annuity. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - 8K A filing was made on April 16, 2002, under the Reliastar Life Insurance Company of New York ("RLNY") registration, in accordance with Item 5 of Form 8-K: Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure. The purpose of the filing was to report 18 that on April 1, 2002, First Golden was merged into RLNY. Approval for the merger was obtained from the Insurance Departments of the States of New York and Delaware. ReliaStar Life Insurance Company ("ReliaStar"), the parent of Security- Connecticut Life Insurance Company ("Security-Connecticut"), who in turn is the parent of RLNY, paid to Golden American the preliminary merger consideration of $27.7 million in exchange for 100% of the shares of First Golden. ReliaStar contributed First Golden to Security-Connecticut who in turn contributed First Golden to RLNY. The final merger consideration of First Golden will be the fair market value as determined by the first quarter statutory financial statement and will be recorded in the second quarter of 2002.
