Financial Statements and Exhibits 5 (a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired 5 (b) Pro Forma Financial Information in Accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America 5 (c) Exhibits 14 Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets On January 1, 2004 (the "merger date"), Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa ("ELIC"), USG Annuity & Life Company ("USG"), and United Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("ULA") (the "Merger Companies"), merged with and into Golden American Life Insurance Company ("Golden"). Also on January 1, 2004, immediately after the merger, Golden changed its name to ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company ("ING USA" or the "Company"). As of the merger date, the Merger Companies ceased to exist and were succeeded by the Company. ING USA is domiciled in Iowa and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc., which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between entities under common control, and notes that certain provisions under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations ("APB 16"), provide a source of guidance for such transactions. In accordance with APB 16, financial information of the combined entity is presented as if the entities had been combined for the full year, and all comparative financial statements are restated and presented as if the entities had previously been combined, in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. Prior to the merger date, the Merger Companies were affiliated companies of ING USA and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of ING. ELIC was domiciled in Iowa and offered various insurance products, including deferred and immediate annuities, variable annuities, and interest sensitive and traditional life insurance. ULA was also domiciled in Iowa and primarily offered annuity related insurance products, as well as life and health insurance that was ceded to other insurers. USG was domiciled in Oklahoma and offered various insurance products, including deferred fixed annuities, immediate annuities, and interest-sensitive life insurance. Each Board of Directors and each sole shareholder of the Merger Companies and the Board of Directors and sole shareholder of the Company approved the merger plan on June 25, 2003 (see Exhibit 99.8). The State of Iowa Insurance Division and the Department of Insurance of the State of Oklahoma also approved the merger. Item 5. Other Events Golden was renamed from "Golden American Life Insurance Company" to "ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company." The name change occurred immediately after the merger of ELIC, USG, and ULA with and into Golden, with the Company remaining as the surviving corporation under the name ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company. 3 The Company, formerly a Delaware insurance company, changed its state of domicile from Delaware to Iowa and became an Iowa insurance company immediately prior to the merger of ELIC, USG, and ULA, with and into Golden. On July 16, 2003, the Insurance Division of the State of Iowa approved the Restated Articles of Incorporation, effectively approving the re-domestication of the Company. The re-domestication was effective on January 1, 2004. 4 Item 7.

Pro Forma Consolidation Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("FAS 141"), excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between entities under common control, and notes that certain provisions under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations ("APB 16"), provide a source of guidance for such transactions. In accordance with APB 16, financial information of the combined entity is presented as if the entities had been combined for the full year, and all comparative financial statements are restated and presented as if the entities had previously been combined, in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests, in accordance with the provisions of APB 16 in order to present the condensed financial position and results of operations of ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company ("ING USA"), Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa ("ELIC"), United Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("ULA"), and USG Annuity & Life Company ("USG"), as if the entities had previously been combined. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and income statements give effect to the consolidation transaction as if it had occurred on September 30, 2003 and January 1, 2000, respectively. Following is a description of the pro forma adjustments that have been made to the financial statements. All pro forma adjustments are elimination entries related to intercompany transactions between the entities, as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. There were no other pro forma adjustments. (1) Prior to the merger, ING USA and USG were wholly owned subsidiaries of ELIC. The pro forma adjustment eliminates the ELIC investment in ING USA and USG subsidiaries. (2) Prior to the merger, ING USA had an outstanding surplus note payable to ELIC. The pro forma adjustment eliminates the surplus note and related interest between ING USA and ELIC. (3) All of the shares of capital stock of ELIC, USG, and ULA, will be canceled and retired, and ceased to exist, as of the merger with ING USA. (4) Prior to the merger, ING USA and USG were wholly owned subsidiaries of ELIC. The pro forma adjustment eliminates the ELIC equity in ING USA and USG income. 12 2. Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets The cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and the year ended December 31, 2002, reflects the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, ("FAS 142"). During 2002, ING USA and the Merger Companies adopted FAS 142. The adoption of this standard resulted in an impairment loss of $1,298.5 million in 2002. This impairment loss represented the entire carrying amount of goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, and is recorded as a change in accounting principle for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2002. Effective January 1, 2002, ING USA and the Merger Companies applied the non-amortization provision (net of tax) of the new standard, which resulted in an increase in net income of $37.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. Had ING USA and the Merger Companies been accounting for goodwill under FAS 142 for all periods presented, the Company's net income (loss) would have been as follows: Year ended Year ended December 31, December 31, (Millions) 2001 2000 -------------- -------------- Pro forma consolidated net income (loss) $ (22.3) $ 55.4 Add back goodwill amortization, net of tax 37.0 37.0 -------------- -------------- Adjusted pro forma consolidated net income $ 14.7 $ 92.4 ============== ============== 3. Statutory Merger On January 1, 2003, Ameribest Life Insurance Company ("AMB"), an affiliated life insurance company domiciled in Georgia, was merged with ELIC. As FAS 141 excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of shares between entities under common control, the merger was based on certain provisions under APB 16, which provide a source of guidance for such transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests, in accordance with the provisions of APB 16, in order to present the condensed results of operations of ELIC and AMB as if the entities had previously been combined. The pro forma condensed consolidated income statements give effect to the consolidation transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2000.
