THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Travelers Life and Annuity Company (the Company) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC), an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup). Citigroup is a diversified
global financial services holding company whose businesses provide a broad
range of financial services to consumer and corporate customers around the
world. The condensed financial statements and accompanying footnotes of
the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and are
unaudited. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and benefits and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary (all of which were normal recurring adjustments) for
a fair presentation of results for the periods reported. The accompanying
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but is not required
for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2003
presentation.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS
146). FAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities, other than in a business combination, be recognized
when the liability is incurred. Previous generally accepted accounting
principles provided for the recognition of such costs at the date of
management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, FAS 146 requires
that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes
in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are effective
for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
adoption of this change in accounting principle did not have an impact on
the Company's financial statements.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS
123), prospectively for all awards granted, modified, or settled after
December 31, 2002. The prospective method is one of the adoption methods
provided for under FAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure", issued on January 1, 2003.
7
THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
FAS 123 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated
and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting
period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models,
intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date.
Similar to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees", the alternative method of accounting, an
offsetting increase to stockholder's equity under FAS 123 is recorded
equal to the amount of compensation expense charged.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). This
Interpretation changes the method of determining whether certain entities
should be included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. An
entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a variable interest entity (VIE)
if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance
its activities without additional subordinated financial support from
other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make significant
decisions about the entity's operations, or that do not absorb the
expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. All other
entities are evaluated for consolidation under FAS No. 94, "Consolidation
of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries." A VIE is consolidated by its primary
beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority
of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns or
both.
The provisions of FIN 46 are to be applied immediately to VIEs created
after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an
interest after that date. For VIEs in which an enterprise holds a variable
interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 applies in the
first fiscal period beginning after June 15, 2003. For any VIEs that must
be consolidated under FIN 46 that were created before February 1, 2003,
the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE would be
initially measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between
the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized
interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting
change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value
at the date FIN 46 first applies may be used to measure the assets,
liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. FIN 46 also mandates
new disclosures about VIEs, some of which are required to be presented in
financial statements issued after January 31, 2003.
The Company has investments in entities that may be considered to be
variable interests. The carrying value of these investments is
approximately $225.1 million at March 31, 2003 and primarily consists of
interests in security investment funds in the amount of $152.7 million,
real estate investment funds of $25.7 million, and below investment grade
asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities of $46.7 million. The Company
is evaluating the impact of applying FIN 46 to existing VIEs in which it
has variable interests and has not yet completed this analysis. The
Company continues to evaluate the impact of applying FIN 46 to entities
acquired before February 1, 2003; however, at this time, it is anticipated
that the effect on the Company's Balance Sheets is not expected to be
significant. No entities were created between February 1, 2003 and March
31, 2003 that would require application of FIN 46.

3. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY
Statutory capital and surplus of the Company was $397 million at December
31, 2002. The Company is currently subject to various regulatory
restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available to be
paid to its parent without prior approval of insurance regulatory
authorities. The Company does not have surplus available to pay dividends
to TIC in 2003 without prior approval of the State of Connecticut
Insurance Department.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a defendant or
co-defendant in various litigation matters incidental to and typical of
the businesses in which it is engaged. In the opinion of the Company's
management, the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings would not
be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

====== ======
The Travelers Life and Annuity Company (the Company) is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Travelers Insurance Company (TIC), an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup). The Company offers fixed and variable
deferred annuities and individual life insurance to individuals and small
businesses. These products are distributed primarily through Salomon Smith
Barney (SSB), Primerica Financial Services (PFS), affiliates of the Company, a
nationwide network of independent financial professionals and non-affiliated
broker-dealers. In addition, the Company distributes these products through
CitiStreet Retirement Services and Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), also affiliates of
the Company.
The Company's business is significantly affected by movements in the U.S. equity
and fixed income credit markets. U.S. equity and credit market events can have
both positive and negative effects on the deposit, revenue and policy retention
performance of the business. A sustained weakness in the equity markets will
decrease revenues and earnings in variable products. Declines in credit quality
of issuers will have a negative effect on earnings.
Net income of $29.0 million and $47.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, included net realized investment gains/(losses)
of $(2.2) million and $2.6 million. Excluding these net realized investment
gains/losses, operating income was $31.2 million and $44.8 million in the three
months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Operating income is a
non-GAAP measure, which the Company believes is a more appropriate indicator of
insurance results than net income and is more reflective of the underlying
trends of the business' ongoing operations. Net realized investment gains/losses
are significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors. The
operating income decrease was driven by increased operating expenses resulting
from amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC), increased insurance
benefits and interest credited related to business volume, partially offset by
net investment income growth and a $6 million dividends received tax benefit.
This tax benefit was the primary driver which created a 17% effective tax rate
for the current year quarter compared to 35% in the prior year quarter.
Net investment income (NII) of $83.6 million in the first quarter of 2003
increased 24% compared to $67.2 million in the first quarter of 2002. NII
increased due to a larger invested asset base created from higher business
volumes and were partially offset by interest rate deterioration in both 2003
and 2002. Fixed maturity rates suffered from the current interest rate
deterioration and bond issuer credit concerns such as bankruptcies.
10
THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Benefits and interest credited grew 14% to $73.9 million in the first three
months of 2003, compared to $64.6 million in the prior year period. This
increase was primarily related to the growth in individual annuity
contractholder funds.
Operating expenses increased in the first three months of 2003 over the first
three months of 2002 due to a $40.4 million increase in the amortization of DAC.
This DAC increase was a result of a one-time $29.8 million pre-tax reduction in
the individual annuity business related to changes in underlying lapse and
interest rate assumptions during the first quarter of 2002. The balance of the
increase in amortization expense was due to a higher amortization rate resulting
from the decrease in market value of individual annuity account balances.

Individual Annuity Account Balances $10,078 $10,252
Individual Life Net Premiums and Deposits $ 97 $ 115
Business volume is a non-GAAP measure which the Company believes is an
appropriate indicator of insurance production, and is reflective of the
underlying trends of the business' ongoing operations.
The decline in March 31, 2003 individual annuity account balances over March 31,
2002 is reflective of declining equity market values of variable annuity
investments and decreased individual annuity sales. Offsetting these market
declines was good in-force policy retention. Individual life volumes decreased
from first quarter 2002 reflecting weaker single premium sales.
The following table shows net written premiums and deposits by product line for
each of the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The majority of the annuity
business and a substantial portion of the life business written by the Company
are accounted for as investment contracts, such that the premiums are considered
deposits and are not included in revenues.

==== ====
Individual annuity net written premiums and deposits decreased 48% in 2003 to
$383 million from $750 million in 2002. The decrease was driven by a decline in
fixed annuity sales due to competitive pressures and variable annuity sales due
to difficult equity market conditions.
11
THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
The individual life premiums and deposits decreased 15% to $97 million in 2003
versus $115 million in 2002, reflecting weaker single premium sales.
INSURANCE REGULATIONS
Risk-based capital requirements are used as minimum capital requirements by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the states to
identify companies that merit further regulatory action. At December 31, 2002,
the Company had total adjusted capital in excess of amounts requiring any
regulatory action as defined by the NAIC.
The Company is subject to various regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum
amount of dividends available to be paid to its parent without prior approval of
insurance regulatory authorities in the state of domicile. The Company does not
have surplus available to pay dividends to its parent in 2003 without prior
approval of the State of Connecticut Insurance Department. The Company did not
pay any dividends to its parent during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and
2002.
