NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ILIAC"), a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") are providers of financial products and services in the United States. These condensed consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Insurance Company of America ("IICA") and ING Financial Advisers, LLC ("IFA"). ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. ("Lion" or "Parent"), which in turn is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING"). ING is a global financial services company based in The Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ING." The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 ("interim periods") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes as presented in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods may not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408 and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company's products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, education (collectively "not-for-profit" organizations), and corporate markets. The Company's products generally are distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners. Annuity contracts may be deferred or immediate (payout annuities). These products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds, and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e. liquidity guarantees of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under 8 <Page> ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF LION CONNECTICUT HOLDINGS INC.) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated) the terms of the plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company. The Company also offers investment advisory services and pension plan administrative services. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 2. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SHARE-BASED PAYMENT In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Standard ("FAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("FAS 123R"), which requires all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the financial statements based upon the fair value. As a result of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No. 33-8568: Amendment to Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X Regarding the Compliance Date for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", adopted on April 14, 2005, FAS 123R is effective at the beginning of the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005 for registrants. Earlier adoption is encouraged. FAS 123R provides two transition methods, modified-prospective and modified-retrospective. The Company early adopted the provisions of FAS 123R on January 1, 2005, using the modified-prospective method. Under the modified-prospective method, compensation cost recognized in the first three months of 2005 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"), and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R. 9 <Page> ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF LION CONNECTICUT HOLDINGS INC.) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated) Results for prior periods are not restated. Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company applied the intrinsic value-based provisions set forth in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related Interpretations, as permitted by FAS 123. No stock based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Operations during 2004, as all options granted during the year had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. All shares granted during 2005 and 2004 were those of ING, the Company's ultimate parent. As a result of adopting FAS 123R, the Company's income before income taxes and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005, are $0.7 and $0.5, lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based payments under APB 25. 3. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS AND VALUE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED Deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") represent policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business. Value of business acquired ("VOBA") represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized and is subject to amortization in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired. The value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the Company's contracts. The amortization methodology used for DAC and VOBA varies by product type. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 97 applies to universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities. Under FAS No. 97, DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts (usually 25 years) in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins; asset-based fees, policy administration, and surrender charges; less policy maintenance fees and non-capitalized commissions, as well as realized gains and losses on investments. FAS No. 60, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises," applies to traditional life insurance products, primarily whole life and term life insurance contracts. Under FAS No. 60, DAC and VOBA are amortized over the premium payment period, in proportion to the premium revenue recognized. 10 <Page> ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF LION CONNECTICUT HOLDINGS INC.) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated) Activity for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 within VOBA was as follows: <Table> <Caption> 2004 ------------- Balance at December 31, 2003 $ 1,415.4 Adjustment for FAS No. 115 (4.1) Additions 14.8 Interest accrued at 5% to 7% 22.9 Amortization (54.1) ------------- Balance at March 31, 2004 $ 1,394.9 ============= <Caption> 2005 ------------- Balance at December 31, 2004 $ 1,365.3 Adjustment for FAS No. 115 6.7 Additions 11.3 Interest accrued at 5% to 7% 22.5 Amortization (63.5) ------------- Balance at March 31, 2005 $ 1,342.3 ============= </Table> 4.

INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were 28.4% and 31.7%, respectively. The effective rate differs from the expected rate primarily due to the benefit from the dividends received deduction. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to an increase in the deduction allowed for dividends received relative to the change in pre-tax income. 11 <Page> ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF LION CONNECTICUT HOLDINGS INC.) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated) 6. FINANCING AGREEMENTS The Company maintains a revolving loan agreement with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta (the "Bank"). Under this agreement, which is due on demand, the Company can borrow up to $125.0 from the Bank. Interest on any borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to (1) the cost of funds for the Bank for the period applicable for the advance plus .225% or (2) a rate quoted by the Bank to the Company for the borrowing. Under the agreement, the Company incurred minimal interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. At March 31, 2005, the Company had an outstanding balance of $33.5 with the Bank and no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2004. The outstanding balance of $33.5 at March 31, 2005 was repaid on April 1, 2005. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES COMMITMENTS Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans or money market instruments at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments. At March 31, 2005, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $527.0, $434.7 of which was with related parties. At December 31, 2004, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $778.2, $440.4 of which was with related parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, $5.7 was funded to related parties under these commitments. LITIGATION The Company is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position. 12 <Page> ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF LION CONNECTICUT HOLDINGS INC.)

RECLASSIFICATIONS AND CHANGES TO PRIOR YEAR PRESENTATION During 2005, certain changes were made to the Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004, to reflect the correct balances, primarily related to short-term borrowings.

MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated) OVERVIEW The following narrative analysis of the consolidated results of operations presents a review of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ILIAC") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and financial condition as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. This review should be read in its entirety and in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, which can be found under Part I, Item 1 contained herein, as well as the "Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition" section contained in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION/RISK FACTORS In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions readers regarding certain forward-looking statements contained in this report and in any other statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Statements using verbs such as "expect," "anticipate," "believe," or words of similar import generally involve forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, forward-looking statements include statements which represent the Company's beliefs concerning future levels of sales and redemptions of the Company's products, investment spreads and yields, or the earnings and profitability of the Company's activities. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable developments. Some may be national in scope, such as general economic conditions, changes in tax law, and changes in interest rates. Some may be related to the insurance industry generally, such as pricing competition, regulatory developments, and industry consolidation. Others may relate to the Company specifically, such as litigation, regulatory action, and risks associated with the Company's investment portfolio such as changes in credit quality, price volatility, and liquidity. Investors are also directed to consider other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents filed by the Company with the SEC. Except as may be required by the federal securities laws, the Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking information. 15 <Page> CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies since the filing of the Company's 2004 Form 10-K Annual Report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME: Net income decreased by $12.2 to $31.8 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $44.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net income is primarily due to an increase in operating expenses and VOBA amortization partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense. NET INVESTMENT INCOME: Net investment income from General Account assets increased $17.4 to $254.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $237.5 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase is primarily related to the shifting of portfolio assets to higher yielding investments and higher average assets under management with fixed options. PREMIUMS: Premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased by $2.9 to $13.8 from $10.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, primarily due to higher annuitizations as well as higher sales of immediate annuities. NET REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS (LOSSES): Net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $ 4.0 compared to gains of $18.5 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The current year losses are primarily due to an increase in other-than-temporary impairments. Additionally, the net realized capital losses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were impacted by the increasing interest rate environment in 2005 that negatively affected the market value of fixed maturities and led to lower realized gains upon sale. Partially offsetting these decreases is an increase in capital gains on derivatives. OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses increased by $8.7 to $102.8 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $94.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in operating expenses is primarily related to an increase in spending associated with strategic initiatives, as well as expenses related to compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, higher asset based commissions, and increased salaries. AMORTIZATION OF DAC AND VOBA: Amortization of DAC and VOBA increased $11.3 to $49.2 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $37.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Amortization of DAC and VOBA for long-duration products is recorded in proportion to actual and estimated future gross profits. The return on variable funds for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was less than the long-term assumption, thereby producing an acceleration of amortization. In comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2004, the return on variable funds exceeded the long-term assumptions, producing a deceleration of amortization. The combination of the acceleration of amortization in the first quarter of 2005 and the deceleration of amortization in 2004 resulted in higher amortization quarter versus quarter. 16 <Page> INCOME TAX EXPENSE: Income tax expense decreased by $7.8 to $12.6 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $20.4 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax income in the first quarter of 2005 and a decrease in the Company's effective tax rate primarily resulting from an increase in the deduction allowed for dividends received relative to the change in pre-tax income. FINANCIAL CONDITION INVESTMENTS INVESTMENT STRATEGY The Company's investment strategy for its General Account investments involves diversification by asset class, and seeks to add economic diversification and to reduce the risks of credit, liquidity, and embedded options within certain investment products, such as convexity risk on collateralized mortgage obligations and call options. The investment management function is centralized under ING Investment Management LLC ("IIM"), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Separate portfolios are established for each general type of product within the Company. The Company's use of derivatives is limited mainly to hedging purposes to reduce the Company's exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, and market risk.

The fixed maturities in the Company's portfolio are generally rated by external rating agencies and, if not externally rated, are rated by the Company on a basis believed to be similar to that used by the rating agencies. The average quality rating of the Company's fixed maturities portfolio was AA- at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Ratings are calculated using a rating hierarchy that considers S&P, Moody's, and internal ratings. 19 <Page> Total fixed maturities by quality rating category, including fixed maturities pledged to creditors, were as follows at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004: <Table> <Caption> 2005 2004 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- FAIR % OF FAIR % OF VALUE TOTAL VALUE TOTAL --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- AAA $ 8,817.7 48.2% $ 8,675.4 47.1% AA 999.3 5.5% 910.4 4.9% A 3,607.4 19.7% 3,754.3 20.4% BBB 4,217.0 23.1% 4,311.4 23.4% BB 579.6 3.2% 698.9 3.8% B and below 55.7 0.3% 75.2 0.4% --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Total $ 18,276.7 100.0% $ 18,425.6 100.0% =============== =============== =============== =============== </Table> 96.5% and 95.8% of fixed maturities were invested in securities rated BBB and above (Investment Grade) at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Fixed maturities rated BB and below (Below Investment Grade) 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. Total fixed maturities by market sector, including fixed maturities pledged to creditors, were as follows at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004: <Table> <Caption> 2005 2004 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- FAIR % OF FAIR % OF VALUE TOTAL VALUE TOTAL --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- U.S. Corporate $ 6,851.2 37.5% $ 7,380.1 40.1% Residential Mortgage-backed 5,443.7 29.9% 5,505.0 29.9% Foreign (1) 2,397.6 13.1% 2,419.7 13.1% Commercial/Multifamily Mortgage-backed 1,688.6 9.2% 1,560.0 8.5% Asset-backed 1,320.4 7.2% 1,363.5 7.4% U.S. Treasuries/Agencies 575.2 3.1% 197.3 1.0% --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Total $ 18,276.7 100.0% $ 18,425.6 100.0% =============== =============== =============== =============== </Table> (1) Primarily U.S. dollar denominated The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company's shareholder's equity at March 31, 2005. MORTGAGE LOANS Mortgage loans, primarily commercial mortgage loans, totaled $1,209.1 at March 31, 2005 and $1,090.2 at December 31, 2004. These loans are reported at amortized cost less impairment writedowns. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect on all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present value of expected cash 20 <Page> flows, cash flows from the loan (discounted at the loan's effective interest rate), or fair value of the collateral. If the loan is in foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write down charged to realized loss. At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company had no allowance for mortgage loan credit losses. UNREALIZED LOSSES Fixed maturities, including securities pledged to creditors, comprise 91.5% and 92.1% of the Company's total investment portfolio at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Unrealized losses related to fixed maturities are analyzed in detail in the following tables. Fixed maturities, including securities pledged to creditors, in unrealized loss positions for Investment Grade ("IG") and Below Investment Grade ("BIG") securities by duration were as follows at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004: <Table> <Caption> 2005 2004 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- % OF IG % OF IG % OF IG % OF IG IG AND BIG BIG AND BIG IG AND BIG BIG AND BIG ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Less than six months below amortized cost $ 109.6 47.5% $ 6.2 2.7% $ 37.3 31.7% $ 0.5 0.4% More than six months and less than twelve months below amortized cost 49.1 21.3% 0.5 0.2% 33.1 28.1% 1.6 1.4% More than twelve months below amortized cost 63.6 27.6% 1.6 0.7% 44.4 37.7% 0.8 0.7% ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Total unrealized loss $ 222.3 96.4% $ 8.3 3.6% $ 114.8 97.5% $ 2.9 2.5% ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= ======= </Table> Unrealized losses at March 31, 2005 were primarily related to interest rate movement or spread widening for other than credit-related reasons and to securities under the guidance prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets". Securities affected by EITF Issue No. 99-20 include U.S. government backed securities, principal protected securities, and structured securities, which did not have an adverse change in cash flows. The following table summarizes the unrealized losses by duration and reason, along with the carrying amount of securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2005: <Table> <Caption> MORE THAN SIX MONTHS LESS THAN AND LESS THAN MORE THAN SIX MONTHS TWELVE MONTHS TWELVE MONTHS --------------- --------------- --------------- Interest rate or spread widening $ 64.4 $ 26.7 $ 26.7 EITF Issue No. 99-20 51.4 22.9 38.5 --------------- --------------- --------------- Total unrealized loss $ 115.8 49.6 65.2 =============== =============== =============== Carrying amount $ 3,337.6 $ 697.9 $ 583.1 =============== =============== =============== </Table> 21 <Page> Fixed maturities, including securities pledged to creditors, in unrealized loss positions by market sector and duration were as follows at March 31, 2005: <Table> <Caption> COMMERCIAL/ RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY U.S. U.S. MORTGAGE- MORTGAGE- TREASURIES/ ASSET- CORPORATE BACKED BACKED FOREIGN AGENCIES BACKED TOTAL --------- ------------ ------------ ------- ----------- ------- ------- Less than six months below amortized cost $ 44.8 $ 34.6 $ 9.2 $ 13.3 $ 6.2 $ 7.7 $ 115.8 More than six months and less than twelve months below amortized cost 21.6 13.8 4.3 5.0 0.1 4.8 49.6 More than twelve months below amortized cost 20.8 27.6 2.5 4.4 1.4 8.5 65.2 --------- ------------ ------------ ------- ----------- ------- ------- Total unrealized loss $ 87.2 $ 76.0 $ 16.0 $ 22.7 $ 7.7 $ 21.0 $ 230.6 ========= ============ ============ ======= =========== ======= ======= </Table> OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENTS The Company analyzes the General Account investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; future economic conditions and market forecasts; and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value. If it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of an investment will not be collected, an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. In addition, the Company invests in structured securities that meet the criteria of EITF Issue No. 99-20. Under EITF Issue No. 99-20, a determination of the required impairment is based on credit risk and the possibility of significant prepayment risk that restricts the Company's ability to recover the investment. An impairment is recognized if the fair value of the security is less than book value and there has been an adverse change in cash flow since the last remeasurement date. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the individual security is written down to fair value and the loss is accounted for as a realized loss. The following table identifies the Company's other-than-temporary impairments by type for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004: <Table> <Caption> 2005 2004 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- NO.

Net realized capital gains (losses) on investments were as follows: <Table> <Caption> THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ---------------------------------- 2005 2004 --------------- --------------- Fixed maturities $ (14.2) $ 18.2 Derivatives 10.2 0.3 --------------- --------------- Pretax net realized capital (losses) gains $ (4.0) $ 18.5 =============== =============== After-tax net realized capital (losses) gains $ (2.6) $ 12.0 =============== =============== </Table> Net realized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts of ($4.6) and $34.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were deducted from net realized capital gains and an offsetting amount was reflected in future policy benefits and claim reserves on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net unamortized realized gains allocated to experience-rated contractowners were $224.5 and $233.4 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity is the ability of the Company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of operating, investing, and financing activities. SOURCES AND USES OF LIQUIDITY The Company's principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment income, proceeds from the maturing and sale of investments, and capital contributions. Primary uses of funds are payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest and premium credits, investment purchases, contract maturities, withdrawals and surrenders. The Company's liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets, such as cash or cash equivalents and short-term investments. Asset/liability management is integrated into many aspects of the Company's operations, including investment decisions, product development, and determination of crediting rates. 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 interest rates, anticipated contractowner behavior, and variable separate account performance. Contractowners bear the investment risk related to variable annuity products, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guaranteed rates. 23 <Page> 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 Company 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 Company's asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change. Additional sources of liquidity include borrowing facilities to meet short-term cash requirements. ILIAC maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. ("ING AIH"), an affiliate, whereby either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of ILIAC's statutory admitted assets as of the prior December 31. ILIAC also maintains a $125.0 revolving loan agreement with SunTrust Bank and a $100.0 revolving loan agreement with the Bank of New York. The Company had an outstanding balance with SunTrust Bank of $33.5 at March 31, 2005 and no outstanding balances under either of these facilities as of December 31, 2004. The outstanding balance of $33.5 at March 31, 2005 was repaid on April 1, 2005. Management believes that these sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company's short-term cash obligations. CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND DIVIDENDS ILIAC has entered into agreements with IICA under which ILIAC has agreed to cause IICA to have sufficient capital to meet certain capital and surplus levels. ILIAC did not make capital contributions to IICA during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company did not pay dividends to its parent or receive capital contributions from its parent during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (See the Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Footnote to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.) LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES Legislative proposals which have been or are being considered by Congress include repealing the estate tax, reducing the taxation on annuity benefits, changing the tax treatment of insurance products relative to other financial products, and changing life insurance company taxation. Some of these proposals, if enacted, could have a material effect on life insurance, annuity, and other retirement savings product sales. The President has also established an advisory panel to study reform of the Internal Revenue Code. The panel is scheduled to report its findings and make recommendations to the Secretary of Treasury by the end of July, 2005. The recommendations of this panel, if enacted by Congress, could affect the tax treatment of life insurance companies and products. Legislation to restructure the Social 24 <Page> Security System and expand private pension plan incentives also may be considered. Prospects for enactment and the ultimate effect of these proposals are uncertain. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES a) The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's current disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic SEC filings is made known to them in a timely manner. b) There has not been any change in the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect these internal controls. 25 <Page> PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a party to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position. As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Other Regulatory Matters" section of "Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations and Financial Condition" included in the Company's 2004 Form 10-K Annual Report.
