REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company and
Policyholders of Security Life Separate Account S-L1
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities for each of the divisions of Security Life Separate Account S-L1 (the “Separate Account”) listed in Appendix A, as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in Appendix A and the related notes. In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the divisions of the Separate Account as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in Appendix A, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The statements of changes in net assets for the year or period ended December 31, 2020 and financial highlights for the four years or periods ended December 31, 2020 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated April 15, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Separate Account's financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence



regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the underlying mutual fund. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
SECURITY LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT S-L1
Notes to Financial Statements
1.Organization
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company Security Life Separate Account S-L1 (the “Account”) was established on February 25, 1994 by a predecessor to Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (“SLD” or the “Company”) to support the operations of variable life policies (“Policies”). The Company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Resolution Life U.S. Holdings, Inc. ("Resolution Life US"), a Delaware corporation.

Prior to January 4, 2021, the Company was an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. ("Voya Financial"). On January 4, 2021, Voya Financial consummated a series of transactions pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement entered into on December 18, 2019 with Resolution Life US, pursuant to which Resolution Life US acquired all of the shares of the capital stock of several subsidiaries of Voya Financial.

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. SLD provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Policies by crediting premiums to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed account (an investment option in the Company’s general account), as directed by the policyholders. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to the Policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business SLD may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of SLD. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of SLD.

At December 31, 2021, the Account had 60 investment divisions (the “Divisions”) which invest in independently managed mutual funds. The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (“the Trusts”).

2.    Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

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 those estimates.

Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of SLD, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to policyholders. Accordingly, earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the policyholders are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of SLD, and no charge is being made to the Account for federal income taxes for these amounts. The Company will review this tax accounting in the event of changes in the tax law. Such changes in the law may result in a charge for federal income taxes. Uncertain tax positions are assessed at the parent level on a consolidated basis, including taxes of the operations of the Separate Account.

Policyholder Reserves

Policyholder reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the policyholders invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the policyholders exceed their account values, SLD will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to SLD.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from principal transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are items which relate to policyholder activity, including premiums, surrenders and
47

SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
SECURITY LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT S-L1
Notes to Financial Statements
withdrawals, cost of insurance and administrative charges, and benefit payments. Also included are transfers between the fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from) SLD related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full responsibility for which is assumed by SLD).

Accounting and Reporting consideration related to COVID-19

The Company has not been materially impacted by the global outbreak of COVID-19. The extent to which COVID-19 could potentially impact the Company's business operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted including the scope and duration of the pandemic, macroeconomic conditions, and actions taken by the governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated all events occurring after December 31, 2021 through April 29, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, to determine whether any event required either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Account is not aware of any subsequent events that would have a material effect on the financial statements of the Account.

3.    Financial Instruments
The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the transfer agents or fund companies and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.
The Account’s assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2021 based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. There were no transfers among the levels for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Account had no liabilities as of December 31, 2021.

The Account categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
48

SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
SECURITY LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT S-L1
Notes to Financial Statements
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that require inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
a.Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b.Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
c.Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and
d.Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

4.    Charges and Fees
Under the terms of the Policies, certain charges and fees are incurred by the Policies to cover SLD’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Policies. Following is a summary of these charges and fees:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

For Future Dimensions and Survivor Dimensions Policies (Class A Policies), charges are made directly against the assets of the Divisions, and are reflected daily in the computation of the unit values of the Divisions. A daily deduction, at annual rates of up to 0.90% of the average daily net asset value of each Division, is charged to the Account for mortality and expense risks assumed by SLD. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Other Policy Charges

For Market Dimensions Policies (Class B Policies), charges result in the redemption of units rather than in a deduction in the daily computation of unit values. A monthly deduction at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Account value is charged during policy years 1 through 5, and a lower rate is applied for years thereafter.

The monthly cost of insurance charge varies based on the insured’s sex, issue age, policy year, rate class, and the face amount of policies. The monthly amount charged for optional insurance benefits varies based on a number of factors and is defined in the Policies. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

The monthly administrative charge currently ranges from $6 to a maximum of $10 for Future Dimensions and Market Dimensions policies. Monthly administrative charges for Survivor Dimensions policies are $0.09 per $1,000 of coverage, up to $212.50 in policy years 1 through 10, declining thereafter. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Other Policy Deductions

49

SECURITY LIFE OF DENVER INSURANCE COMPANY
SECURITY LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT S-L1
Notes to Financial Statements
The Variable Universal Life Policies provide for certain deductions for sales and tax loads from premium payments received from the policyholders and for surrender charges and taxes from amounts paid to policyholders. Such deductions are taken after the redemption of units in the Account and are not included in the Account financial statements. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Fees Waived by SLD

Certain charges and fees for various types of Policies may be waived by SLD. SLD reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes in the law.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of the Audit Committee of Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc.

Opinions

We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the “Company”), which comprise the statutory-basis balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the statutory-basis financial statements (collectively referred to as the “statutory-basis financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance described in Note 1.

Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report, the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the year then ended.

Predecessor Auditors' Opinion on 2020 Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

The statutory-basis financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated April 5, 2021, expressed an opinion that those statutory-basis financial statements were not fairly presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; however, such report also expressed an unmodified opinion on those statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance described in Note 1.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America

As described in Note 1 to the statutory-basis financial statements, the statutory-basis financial statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado.
1



Division of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of the Colorado Division of Insurance. The effects on the statutory-basis financial statements of the variances between the statutory-basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of statutory-basis financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the statutory-basis financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory-basis financial statements are issued.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory-basis financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory-basis financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory-basis financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statutory-basis financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statutory-basis financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

2


We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.


Report on Supplemental Schedules

Our 2021 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of selected statutory-basis financial data, supplemental schedule of life and health reinsurance disclosures, investment risk interrogatories, and summary investment schedule as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements. These schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory-basis financial statements or to the statutory-basis financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2021 statutory-basis financial statements as a whole.

1.Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company (the “Company”) is domiciled in Colorado and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resolution Life Colorado Inc.
On January 4, 2021, the Company's then ultimate parent, Voya Financial, Inc., consummated a series of transactions (collectively, the “Individual Life Transaction”) pursuant to a Master Transaction Agreement dated December 18, 2019 (the "Resolution MTA") with Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc. ("Resolution Life US"), pursuant to which Resolution Life US through its wholly owned Colorado life insurance subsidiary, Resolution Life Colorado Inc. ("RLCO") acquired all of the shares of the capital stock of the Company, Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI"), Roaring River II, Inc. ("RRII") as well as several subsidiaries of the Company. The Company also contributed Roaring River IV Holding, LLC ("RR4H"), a former subsidiary, to another Voya Financial, Inc. affiliate. As part of the Individual Life Transaction, Voya Financial, Inc. reinsured to the Company certain in scope individual life insurance and annuities business of several of the Company’s affiliates. This transaction resulted in the disposition of substantially all of Voya's Financial, Inc's life insurance and legacy nonretirement annuity businesses and related assets.

The financial statements of Security Life of Denver Insurance Company are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

The Colorado Division of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Colorado Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners' (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual ("NAIC SAP") has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Colorado. The Commissioner of the Colorado Division of Insurance has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

Description of Business

Effective with the Individual Life Transaction, the Company began focusing on the acquisition and management of closed blocks of life insurance policies and annuity contracts. In addition, the Company continues to administer business previously sold. Currently the Company is licensed in all states (approved for reinsurance only in New York), the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The Company ceased issuing new policies in 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements of the Company requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Correction of Errors

In 2021, the Company did not have any correction of errors.

In 2020, the Company determined that it had understated a reinsurance payable in prior years by $15.9. To correct this error, the Company recognized a cumulative prior period adjustment decrease to surplus of $12.6 net of tax, in accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors ("SSAP No. 3"). The tax effect of this adjustment was a decrease in taxes payable of $3.3.

Also in 2020, the Company determined that it had overstated a reinsurance deferred gain in prior years by $14.9. To correct this error, the Company decreased deferred gain $14.9 and recognized a cumulative prior period adjustment decrease to surplus of $1.0 net of tax, in accordance with the provisions of SSAP No. 3. The tax effect of this adjustment was a decrease in taxes payable of $3.7.


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Colorado Division of Insurance, which practices differ from United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Colorado Division of Insurance recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Colorado for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Colorado Insurance Laws. The NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Colorado. The Colorado Commissioner of Insurance (“Commissioner”) has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

The Company is required to identify those significant accounting practices that are permitted, and obtain written approval of the practices from the Colorado Division of Insurance. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, the Company had no such permitted accounting practices.

On May 8, 2013, the Company, with the permission of the Colorado Division of Insurance, reallocated the gross paid-in and contributed surplus and the unassigned funds components of surplus, computed as of December 31, 2012, similar to the restatement of surplus that occurs pursuant to the prescribed accounting guidance for a quasi-reorganization under Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations (“SSAP No. 72”). The reallocation resulted in a decrease to gross paid-in and contributed surplus and an increase in unassigned surplus of $455.4. This permitted practice had no impact on net income, total capital and surplus or risk-based capital.

On January 4, 2021, the Company, with the permission of the Colorado Division of Insurance, restated the gross paid-in and contributed surplus and the unassigned funds components of surplus, as of January 4, 2021, similar to the restatement of surplus that occurs pursuant to the prescribed accounting guidance for a quasi-reorganization under SSAP No. 72. The restatement resulted in a decrease to gross paid-in and contributed surplus and an increase in unassigned surplus of $478. This had no net impact on net income, total capital and surplus or risk-based capital.

The more significant variances from U.S. GAAP are:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on a designation assigned by the NAIC.

The Company periodically reviews the value of its investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks. If the fair value of any investment falls below its cost basis, the decline is analyzed to determine whether it is an other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI"). To make this determination for each security, the following are some of the factors considered:
The length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost.
The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer of the security, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings potential.
The Company's intent to sell the security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying value.
The Company's intent and ability to hold the security long enough for it to recover its fair value.

Based on the analysis, the Company makes a judgment as to whether the decline in fair value is other–than-temporary. When an OTTI is recorded because there is intent to sell or the Company does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis, the security is written down to fair value. The interest related OTTI is deferred through the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) and the non-interest related OTTI is included in the asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) in the period that the OTTI is considered to have occurred as prescribed by the NAIC.  Losses resulting from OTTI charges, net of transfers to IMR and federal income tax, are recorded within net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations.

The Company invests in structured securities, including residential mortgage backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO"), asset backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, and commercial mortgage backed securities. Structured securities are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on a designation assigned by the NAIC. They are amortized using the interest method over the period in which repayment of principal is expected to occur. For structured securities in unrealized loss positions, the Company determines whether it has the intent to sell or the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost. If the Company has the intent and ability to hold the security to recovery, the Company must compare the present value of the expected future cash flows for this security to its carrying value. If the present value of the expected future cash flows for the security is lower than its carrying value, the security is written down to its present value of the expected future cash flows.
Net realized gains and losses on disposed investments are reported in the statements of operations, net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR.
Under U.S. GAAP, fixed maturities are designated at purchase as held to maturity, trading or available-for-sale, except for those accounted for using the fair value option ("FVO"). Held to maturity investments are reported at amortized cost and the remaining fixed maturity investments are reported at fair value. For those designated as trading, changes in fair value are reported in the statements of operations. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder’s equity. Using the FVO, securities are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the statements of operations.
When an impairment is determined, the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value, and a corresponding charge is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations as impairments. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that a credit loss exists, the impairment is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease in cash flows expected not to be collected (“credit impairment”) and the amount related to other factors (“noncredit impairment”). The credit impairment is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder’s equity.

Asset Valuation Reserve: The AVR is intended to establish a reserve to offset potential credit related investment losses on most invested asset categories. AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus. The change in AVR is reported directly to unassigned surplus. Under U.S. GAAP, no such reserve is required

Interest Maintenance Reserve: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally

bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. The Company reports the net deferral of IMR gains as a liability on the accompanying balance sheets. When the net deferral of IMR is a loss, the amount is reported as a component of other assets and nonadmitted. Under U.S GAAP, gains and losses on disposal of available-for-sale bonds and mortgage loans are reported in the period that the assets are sold.

Cash and Short-term Investments: Cash and short-term investments represent cash balances, demand deposits, and short term fixed maturity investments with initial maturities of one year or less at the date of acquisition.

Under U.S. GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and other highly liquid investments, such as money market instruments and debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase.

Derivatives: The Company follows the hedge accounting guidance in SSAP No. 86, Derivatives (“SSAP No. 86”) for derivative transactions entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. Under SSAP No. 86, derivatives that are deemed effective hedges are accounted for entirely in a manner which is consistent with the underlying hedged item. Derivatives used in hedging transactions that do not meet the requirements of SSAP No. 86 as an effective hedge are carried at fair value with the change in value recorded in surplus as unrealized gains or losses. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract.

Under U.S. GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a cash flow hedge are accounted for separately. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction. The ineffective portion of the derivative's change in value, if any, along with any of the derivative's change in value that is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recorded in other net realized capital gains (losses). For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the hedged item, to the extent of the risk being hedged, are recognized in other net realized capital gains (losses). An embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is reported with the host contract on the balance sheets at fair value, and the change in fair value is recorded in income.

Mortgage Loans: Mortgage loans are reported at amortized cost, less write downs for impairments. 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 all amounts due according to the

contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to the lesser of either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s original purchase yield or fair value of the collateral. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write-down recorded in net realized capital gains (losses).

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company reports mortgage loans at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the credit loss allowance balance using a factor-based method of probability of default and loss given default which incorporates relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The change in the allowance for credit losses is recorded in net realized capital gains (losses) in the statements of operations. Loans are written off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax recoveries or obligations associated with the accumulation of temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are provided for and admitted to an amount determined under a standard formula in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes ("SSAP No. 101"). A valuation allowance is required if based on the available evidence; it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment is determined on a separate reporting entity basis.

After reduction for any valuation allowance, the Company follows the admissibility formula prescribed under SSAP No. 101. These provisions limit the amount of gross deferred tax assets that can be admitted to surplus to those for which ultimate recoverability can be demonstrated. This limitation is based on availability of taxes paid in prior years that could be recovered through carrybacks, the expected timing of reversals for accumulated temporary differences over the next three years to offset future taxes, surplus limits, and the amount of gross deferred tax liabilities available for offset. Any deferred tax assets not covered under the formula are nonadmitted.

SSAP No. 101 requires all changes in deferred tax balances to be included as surplus adjustments; under U.S. GAAP, however, most changes in deferred tax balances are recorded in the income statement (with the exception of certain items that are recorded through Other Comprehensive Income or directly to the equity section of the balance sheet) as a component of the total income tax provision.

U.S. GAAP also requires that deferred taxes be included for all jurisdictions that determine taxes based on income. Thus deferred state income taxes must be recorded under U.S. GAAP. SSAP No. 101, however, specifically prohibits establishing deferred state income tax assets and liabilities.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred.

Under U.S. GAAP, incremental, direct costs of contract acquisition and certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities are capitalized. Indirect or unsuccessful acquisition costs, maintenance, product development and overhead expenses are charged to expense as incurred. In addition, the outstanding value of in force business acquired is capitalized. For certain traditional life insurance, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized over the premium payment period in proportion to the present value of expected gross premium. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, acquisition costs are amortized over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits.

Premiums: Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Premiums for annuity policies with mortality and morbidity risk, except for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts, are also recognized as revenue when due. Premiums received for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and for guaranteed interest and group annuity contracts are recorded using deposit accounting.

Under U.S. GAAP, premiums related to traditional life insurance contracts and payout contracts with life contingencies are recognized as revenue when due. Amounts received for investment-type, universal life-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and fixed-indexed annuity contracts are reported as deposits to contract owner account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist primarily of fees assessed against the contract owner account balance for mortality and policy administration charges.

Benefits Paid or Provided: Benefits incurred for universal life and annuity policies represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves.

Under U.S. GAAP, benefits and expenses for investment-type, universal life-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and fixed-indexed annuity contracts include claims in excess of related account balances, expenses of contract administration and interest credited to contract owner account balances.

Benefit and Contract Reserves: Life policy and contract reserves under statutory accounting practices are calculated based upon both the net level premium method and Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation method (“CRVM”) using statutory rates for mortality and interest.

Under U.S. GAAP policy reserves for traditional products are based upon the net level premium method utilizing best estimates of mortality, interest, and withdrawals prevailing when the policies were sold. For interest sensitive products, the U.S. GAAP policy reserve is

equal to the policy fund balance plus an unearned revenue reserve which reflects the unamortized balance of early year policy loads over renewal year policy loads.

Reinsurance: Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves. Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when received. Losses generated in certain reinsurance transactions are recognized immediately in income, with gains reported as a separate component of surplus and amortized over the remaining life of the business. For business ceded to unauthorized reinsurers, statutory accounting practices require that reinsurance credits permitted by the treaty be recorded as an offsetting liability and charged against unassigned surplus.

Under U.S. GAAP, ceded future policy benefits and contract owner liabilities are reported gross on the balance sheets. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the balance sheets and are stated net of allowances for credit losses, which are charged to earnings. Gains and losses on reinsurance, including commission and expense allowances, are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the business.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted,” principally disallowed interest maintenance reserves, non-operating system software, past due agents’ balances, furniture and equipment, intangible assets, and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC SSAP, are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. In addition, non-admitted assets include deferred tax assets that are not admissible under SSAP No. 101.  See Deferred Income Taxes above.

Consolidation: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated. Certain affiliated investments for which audited U.S. GAAP statements are not available, or expected to be available, are nonadmitted.

Under U.S. GAAP, the accounts and operations of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are consolidated. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared.

Limited partnerships: Limited partnerships are reported are reported at the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee. Changes in the value of the partnership are recorded in surplus. Capital contributions and distributions of capital are reflected in the carry value of the partnership. Distributions of income are reported in investment income up to the amount of net investment income earned in the partnership and otherwise as return of capital.

Under U.S. GAAP, limited partnerships are reported are reported at the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee. Changes in the value of the partnership are recorded in the

statements of operations. Capital contributions and distributions of capital are reflected in the carry value of the partnership.

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes issued are reported as a component of surplus on the balance sheets. Under statutory accounting practices, no interest is recorded on the surplus notes until payment has been approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance. 

Under U.S. GAAP, surplus notes are reported as long-term debt, and the related interest is reported as a change to earnings over the term of the notes.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP: The effects of the preceding variances from U.S. GAAP on the accompanying statutory basis financial statements have not been determined, but are presumed to be material.

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

Certain reclassifications may be made to prior year amounts to maintain comparability of the years presented.

Investments: Investments are stated at values prescribed by the NAIC, as follows:

Bonds not backed by other loans are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Amortized cost is determined using the constant yield or yield to worst method.

The Company does not have any SVO-Identified investments as defined in SSAP No. 26R, Bonds.

Loan-backed securities are stated at either amortized cost or the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Amortized cost is determined using the effective interest method and includes anticipated prepayments. The prospective adjustment method is used to determine the amortized cost for virtually all loan–backed and structured securities as well as securities that have experienced an OTTI.

Redeemable preferred stocks rated as high quality or better are reported at cost or amortized cost. All other redeemable preferred stocks are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value and nonredeemable preferred stocks are reported at fair value not to exceed any currently effective call price.

Common stocks are reported at fair value, and the related unrealized capital gains/losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with adjustment for federal income taxes. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") common stock is priced at par value.

The Company no longer engages in securities lending. In connection, with the closing of the Individual Life Transaction, securities lending was terminated June 30, 2020.

Short term investments are reported at amortized cost which approximates fair value.

Partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, are reported at the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity of the investee. Changes in surplus from distributions are reported in investment income.

Residual collateralized mortgage obligations, which are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Surplus notes acquired, which are included in other invested assets on the balance sheets, are reported at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Realized capital gains and losses are generally determined using the first in first out method.

The Company’s use of derivatives is primarily for economic hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. For those derivatives in effective hedging relationships, the Company values all derivative instruments on a consistent basis with the hedged item. Upon termination, gains and losses on instruments are included in the carrying values of the underlying hedged items and are amortized over the remaining lives of the hedged items as adjustments to investment income or benefits from the hedged items. Any unamortized gains or losses are recognized when the underlying hedged items are sold. The unrealized gains and losses from derivatives not designated in effective hedging relationships are reported at fair value through surplus. Upon termination, interest related gains and losses on asset hedges are included in IMR and are amortized over the remaining lives of the derivatives; other gains and losses are added to the AVR.

Credit Contracts:

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to assume credit exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to or received from the counterparty at specified intervals. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive a payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make a payment (sold credit protection) equal to the par minus recovery value of the swap contract. The Company utilizes these contracts in replication and non qualifying hedging relationships.

Equity Contracts:

Options: The Company uses options to hedge against changes in the value of the benefit contained in the indexed universal life products. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these options. The Company utilizes these options in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Futures: The Company uses equity futures contracts to hedge against equity index movement. Changes in the general level of index value can result in adverse changes in the portfolio. The Company enters into exchange traded futures and pays or receives futures commissions that are set by members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margin with the exchange on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships.
Foreign Exchange Contracts:

Currency Forwards: The Company uses currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposure related to its invested assets. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Foreign exchange swaps: The Company uses foreign exchange or currency swaps to reduce the risk of change in the value, yield or cash flows associated with certain foreign denominated invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows against U.S. dollar cash flows at regular periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships.

Interest Rate Contracts:

Futures: The Company uses interest rate futures contracts to hedge interest rate risks associated with the CMO-B portfolio. Changes in the general level of interest rates can result in the potential for adverse changes in the portfolio. The Company enters into exchange traded futures with regulated futures commissions that are members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margin with the exchange on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and/or liabilities. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the value of assets it owns or in an anticipation of acquiring them. Using interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest payments, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made

to/from the counterparty at each due date. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Swaptions: A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. The Company uses swaptions to manage the volatilities between the market value sensitivities of the Portfolio of asset/liability mismatch caused by changing interest rates. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Total Return Swaps: The Company uses Total Return Swaps to hedge the cash flow variability associated with its Surplus account assets. The Company pays total return on its surplus account assets and receives variable payment detailed in the Total Return Swap confirmation agreement. The Company utilizes these contracts in a non-qualifying hedging relationship.

Investments in Subsidiary: SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities (“SSAP No. 97”), applies to the Company’s subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated entities (“SCA”). The Company’s insurance subsidiaries are reported at their underlying statutory basis net assets, and the Company’s non-insurance subsidiaries are reported at the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity amount, adjusted to a limited statutory accounting basis as promulgated by the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual. Dividends from subsidiaries are included in net investment income. The net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses. SCA entities for which audited statements are not available or expected to be available are nonadmitted. Management regularly reviews its SCAs to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. During this review, management makes a judgment as to whether it is probable that the reporting entity will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the investment or there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings.

Contract Loans: Contract loans are reported at unpaid principal balances but not in excess of the cash surrender value.

Aggregate Reserve for Life Policies and Contracts: Life, annuity, and accident and health reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed policy cash value or the amounts required by law. Interest rates range from 2% to 8% for 2021.

The Company waives the deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of the insured. It is the Company’s practice to return a pro rata portion of any premium paid beyond the policy month of death, although it is not contractually required to do so for certain issues. A reserve has been established of $1,128.3 and $1,057.4 for any surrender value promised in excess of the legally computed reserves at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The methods used in valuation of substandard policies are as follows:

For life, endowment and term policies issued substandard, the standard reserve during the premium paying period is increased by 50% of the gross annual extra premium. Standard reserves are held on Paid-Up Limited Pay contracts.

For reinsurance accepted with table rating, the reserve established is a multiple of the standard reserve corresponding to the table rating.

For reinsurance with flat extra premiums, the standard reserve is increased by 50% of the flat extra.

The amount of insurance in force for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums, according to the standard of valuation required by the Colorado Division of Insurance, is $7.9 billion and $6.1 billion at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The amount of premium deficiency reserves for policies on which gross premiums are less than the net premiums is $616.5 and $368.5 billion at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves for all direct ordinary life insurance and for the portion of group life insurance classified as group under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 79. The method of determination of tabular interest of funds not involving life contingencies is as follows: current year reserves, plus payments, less prior year reserves, less funds added.

The Company has two blocks of life insurance business subject to Valuation Manual 20: Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves ("PBR") for Life Products ("VM-20"). They are variable universal life COLI policies issued after January 1, 2020 and individual life term conversion policies issued on or after January 1, 2021 as a result of a conversion from acquired term insurance not subject to PBR. The Company was exempt from Valuation Manual 20: Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves ("PBR") for Life Products ("VM-20") with respect to individual life term conversion policies issued after January 1, 2020. The domiciliary regulator had determined that, given the insignificant effect on reserves, a Life PBR exemption is appropriate.

Reinsurance: Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Reserves are based on the terms of the reinsurance contracts and are consistent with the risks assumed. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as a reduction of premium revenue and benefits expense. Amounts applicable to reinsurance ceded for reserves and unpaid claim liabilities have been reported as reductions of these items, and

expense allowances received in connection with reinsurance ceded have been reflected in operations. The Company establishes a receivable for amounts due from reinsurers for claims paid and other amounts recoverable under the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

Benefit Plans: Prior to the Individual Life Transaction the Company sponsored a non-contributory supplemental retirement non- qualified plan covering U.S. employees. The obligation was released as part of the Individual Life Transaction. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any further obligations to the plan. The Company, through its parent or affiliates, also provides a contributory retirement plan for substantially all employees.

Participating Insurance: Participating business approximates less than 50% of the Company’s ordinary life insurance in force and less than 1% of premium income. The amount of dividends to be paid to participating policyholders is determined annually by the Board of Directors. Amounts allocable to participating policyholders are based on published dividend projections or expected dividend scales.

Total nonadmitted assets$322,036 $81,981 

Changes in nonadmitted assets are reported directly in unassigned surplus as an increase or decrease in nonadmitted assets.

Claims and Claims Adjustment Expenses: Claims expenses represent the estimated ultimate net cost of all reported and unreported claims incurred through December 31, 2021. The Company does not discount claims and claims adjustment expense reserves. Such estimates are based on actuarial projections applied to historical claim payment data. Such liabilities are considered to be reasonable and adequate to discharge the Company’s obligations for claims incurred but unpaid as of December 31, 2021.

Separate Accounts: Most separate account assets and liabilities held by the Company represent funds held for the benefit of the Company’s variable life and annuity policy and contract holders who bear all of the investment risk associated with the policies. Such policies are of a non-guaranteed nature. All net investment experience, positive or negative,

Mortgage Loans

All mortgage loans are evaluated by seasoned underwriters, including an appraisal of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics, and market trends, and assigned a quality rating using the Company’s internally developed quality rating system. The Company's mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, held for investment.

The maximum and minimum lending rates for long-term mortgage loans acquired or made during 2021 were 4.3% and 1.9%.

There were no taxes, assessments or any amounts advanced and not included in the mortgage loan total as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.    

Property insurance is required on all collateral securing commercial real estate mortgage loans. Generally the coverage is “all risk” at a level equal to the replacement cost of the improvements. Additional coverage may be required to cover flood, windstorm and other risks associated with collateral type, use and location.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company has a high quality, well performing, portfolio of commercial mortgage loans and private placement debts. Under certain circumstances, modifications to these contracts are granted. Each modification is evaluated as to whether troubled debt restructuring has occurred. A modification is a troubled debt restructure when the borrower is in financial difficulty and the creditor makes concessions. Generally, the types of concessions may include: reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as originally stated, reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or reduction of accrued interest. The Company considers the amount, timing and extent of the concession granted in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. A valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (net of the specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held 5 private placement troubled debt restructuring loans with a carrying value of $25.0 and $21.0, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s total recorded investment in restructured debt was 25.0 and $21.0, respectively. The Company realized losses related to these investments of $0.0, $0.0, and $9.1 during 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

The Company has no contractual commitments to extend credit to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings.

The Company accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible (delinquent less than 90 days) and the loan continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Interest income on non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis.


3.    Derivative Financial Instruments Held for Purposes Other than Trading
The Company’s use of derivatives is primarily for economic hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company enters into the following type of derivatives: Credit Contracts, Equity Contracts, Foreign Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Contracts. The Company's use and hedging strategy of derivatives is detailed in Note 1.
Upfront fees paid or received on derivative contracts are included on the balance sheets and are being amortized to investment income over the remaining terms of the contracts.

Periodic payments from such contracts are included in investment income on the statements of operations. Accrued amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other liabilities or accrued investment income on the balance sheets. Gains or losses realized as a result of early terminations are recognized in income in the statement of operations or deferred into IMR and amortized to investment income.

Derivatives that are designated as being in an effective hedging relationship are reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Derivative contracts that are matched or otherwise designated to be associated with other financial instruments are recorded at fair value if the related financial instruments mature, are sold, or are otherwise terminated or if the interest rate contracts cease to be effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in effective hedging relationships are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in surplus.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on certain derivative contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by

any of these counterparties. The amount of such exposure is generally the unrealized gains in such contracts. The Company manages the potential credit exposure from interest rate contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparties’ credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") agreements, the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties, collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA agreements will be met with regard to the Credit Support Annex ("CSA"). The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. Collateral held is used in accordance with the CSA to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported on the balance sheet.

4.    Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company held below investment grade corporate bonds with an aggregate book value of $738.5 and $511.8 and an aggregate fair value of $780.0 and $576.3 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Those holdings amounted to 2.9% and 5.2% of the Company’s investments in bonds and 2.3% and 3.7% of total admitted assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The holdings of below investment grade bonds are widely diversified and of satisfactory quality based on the Company’s investment policies and credit standards.

The Company held unrated bonds with a carrying value of $282.1 and $61.3 with an aggregate fair value of $286.5 and $69.7 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company's commercial mortgage loan portfolio is diversified by geographic region and property type to manage concentration risk. The Company manages risk when originating commercial mortgage loans by generally lending only up to 75% of the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate. Subsequently, the Company continuously evaluates all mortgage loans based on relevant current information including a review of loan-specific credit, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is continuously

monitored on a loan-specific basis throughout the year. This review includes submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items. This review evaluates whether the properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt. The components to evaluate debt service coverage are received and reviewed at least annually to determine the level of risk.

The Company rates all commercial mortgages to quantify the level of risk. The Company places those loans with higher risk on a watch list and closely monitors these loans for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal and/or interest.

Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of commercial mortgage loans. The LTV ratio is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. An LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the value of the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property's net income (loss) to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that property's operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above. LTV and DSC ratios as of the dates indicated are presented below:

6.    Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plan: Prior to the Individual Life Transaction the Company sponsored a non-contributory supplemental retirement non-qualified plan covering U.S. employees. The obligation was released as part of the Individual Life Transaction. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any further obligations to the plan.

Defined Contribution Plans: Subsequent to the Individual Life Transaction Resolution Life US sponsors the Resolution Life US 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”). Substantially all employees of Resolution Life US and its subsidiaries and affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, other than Company agents. The Plan is a tax qualified defined contribution plan. Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). The Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pretax basis. Resolution Life US matches such pretax contributions, up to a maximum of 6% of eligible compensation. All matching contributions are automatically vested, regardless of service history. All contributions made to the Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. Expenses allocated to the Company were $2.3 for 2021. Prior to the Individual Life Transaction the Company was a party to a prior contribution plan with the Company's prior parent. Expenses allocated to the Company under the prior plan were $0.7 for 2020.

Consolidated/Holding Company Plans: Subsequent to the Individual Life Transaction Resolution Life Services (US) Inc., an affiliate, offers long term incentives to its eligible employees and certain other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria. Expenses allocated to the Company were $4.7 for 2021. Prior to the Individual Life Transaction the Company was a party to a prior plan with the Company's prior parent. Expenses allocated to the Company under the prior plan were $0.2 for 2020.

The weighted-average discount rate used to determine expense of other benefit plans was 0.00%, 2.96%, and 4.18% as of January 1, 2021, 2020, and 2019 respectively.

The annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e. health care cost trend rate) for the medical plan is 0.00%.

The amount of accumulated benefit obligation for defined benefit pension plans was $0.0 and $18.6 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As part of the Individual Life Transaction referenced in Note 1, the obligations under the nonqualified defined benefit pension plan transferred to Voya Service Company ("VSC"). As a result, the Company does not have any regulatory contributions required in 2022, nor does the Company intend to make voluntary contributions in 2022. These obligations are not included in the Individual Life Transaction referenced in Note 1, and therefore the Company does not expect to pay any benefits in future years.

8.    Federal Income Taxes

Effective January 4, 2021, after completion of the Individual Life Transaction, the Company is no longer a party to the prior federal tax sharing agreement, and has entered into a new tax allocation agreement with members of an affiliated group.The tax allocation agreement provides for the manner of calculation and the amounts/timing of the payments between the parties as well as other related matters in connection with the filing of consolidated federal, state, local or foreign tax returns. The tax allocation agreement provides that each subsidiary will make a payment to Resolution Life Colorado Inc. equal to its tax liability computed on a separate company basis and such payment will be reduced by any losses, loss carryforwards or other tax attributes that reduced the group's liability and which are allocable to the subsidiary.
The following is a list of all affiliated companies that participate in the filing of this consolidated federal income tax return:
Resolution Life Colorado Inc.
Security Life of Denver Insurance Company
Roaring River II, Inc.
Midwestern United Life Insurance Company

Under the current intercompany tax allocation agreement, the Company had a payable of $19.9 at December 31, 2021 to Resolution Life Colorado Inc., an affiliate, for federal income taxes.

10.    Reinsurance
The Company is involved in both ceded and assumed reinsurance with other companies for the purpose of diversifying risk and limiting exposure on larger risks. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under these treaties, the Company remains contingently liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the reinsurer and monitors concentrations of credit risk.

As part of the Individual Life Transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to assume on a coinsurance basis with assets transferred to a comfort trust for general account liabilities and on a modified coinsurance basis for separate account liabilities with the following former related entities: RLI, ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (RNY), and Voya Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (VRIAC). The coinsurance/modified coinsurance agreements with RLI, RNY and VRIAC cover all remaining life business not already reinsured with other reinsurers (including life business assumed from other insurers) from RLI and RNY, the majority of fixed and variable annuity products not already reinsured with other reinsurers from RLI and RNY, and certain fixed and variable annuity and pension risk transfer products from VRIAC. The liabilities covered under the agreement are reinsured on a 100% quota share basis from RLI and VRIAC and a 75% quota share basis from RNY. In preparation for transactions required by the MTA, the Company recaptured several reinsurance agreements with the following parties: RLI, RR4, SLDI, Hannover Re, New Reinsurance Company Ltd., FNL Insurance Company, Ltd. (FNL), and The Canada Life Assurance Company.

Additionally, the Company entered into reinsurance agreements on a coinsurance with funds withheld basis with SLDI, RRII, FNL, and Partner Reinsurance Europe SE – Zurich Branch (Partner Re) in order to facilitate the financing of excess reserve requirements associated with Regulation XXX/AG38 and Regulation AXXX which require insurers to hold significantly higher levels of reserves on certain term products and return of premium endowment term

insurance products and certain riders and on universal life insurance products with secondary guarantees. Such reinsurance enables the Company to use both traditional and alternative sources of collateral to fund the excess reserve requirements and is generally able to secure longer term financing on a more capital efficient basis.

Effective October 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement under which the Company assumes from Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln") on a 100% coinsurance (modco for separate accounts) basis its interest and liabilities with respect to certain UL and VUL products. The Company also entered into an agreement under which the Company cedes to New Reinsurance Company, Ltd. on a coinsurance with funds withheld basis combined with a yearly renewable term basis certain UL and VUL products that were assumed from Lincoln.

The Company’s ceded reinsurance arrangements reduced certain items in the accompanying financial statements by the following amounts:

The Company does not have any reinsurance agreement in effect under which the reinsurer may unilaterally cancel the agreement.

Assumed premiums amounted to $20.9 billion, $0.4 billion and $1.8 billion for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company estimates that an aggregate reduction in surplus of $1.7 billion would occur in the event that all reinsurance agreements were terminated, by either party, as of December 31, 2021. The amount estimated as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $7.4 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively.

The amount of reinsurance credits taken by the Company for new agreements executed or existing agreements amended during 2021 which include policies or contracts which were in force or which had existing reserves established by the Company as of the effective date of the agreement is $12.4 billion.

11.    Capital and Surplus
Under Colorado insurance regulations, the Company is required to maintain a minimum total capital and surplus of $1.5. Additionally, as a condition of approving the Individual Life Transaction, the Colorado Division of Insurance has required that any dividend or distribution made prior to January 4, 2025 must be approved by the Division as though it were an extraordinary dividend or distribution. An extraordinary dividend or distribution is defined as a dividend or distribution that, together with other dividends and distributions made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the lesser of (1) 10% of the insurer’s policyholder surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (2) the insurer's net gain from operations for the twelve-month period ended the preceding December 31, in each case determined in accordance with statutory accounting principles.
The Company's capital is common stock, with 149 shares authorized and 144 shares issued and outstanding with a par value of $20,000 per share as of December 31, 2021.
On January 4, 2021, at closing of the Individual Life Transaction, RLCO purchased the 1994, 2000 and 2019 notes from a Voya Financial, Inc. subsidiary for an amount equal to the principal plus interest accrued through January 4, 2021. Immediately following the purchase of the surplus notes, on January 4, 2021, RLCO contributed the 1994, 2000, and 2019 notes to the Company, resulting in the extinguishment of these surplus notes. As a result of the extinguishment, the reclassification of the principal as of January 4, 2021 between surplus notes and gross paid in and contributed surplus of $96.0 occurred during the period. RLCO also forgave the accrued interest on the notes, resulting in a capital contribution of $33.6.
On January 4, 2021, the 2017 and 2018 notes were restructured to include a fixed interest rate of 5.0% and a maturity date of January 4, 2031. On September 7, 2021, the Colorado Insurance Commissioner approved a Second Amended and Restated Surplus Note Agreement which extends the Scheduled Maturity Date to January 1, 2036 and restricts the prepayment of principal until January 4, 2026. The Second Amended and Restated Surplus Note Agreement was effective as of January 4, 2021. An interest payment of $3.0 was made on July 1, 2021 as approved by the Colorado Insurance Commissioner. No principal payments were made during the twelve months ending on December 31, 2021. Any payment of principal and/or interest is subject to the prior approval of the Colorado Insurance Commissioner

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain risk-based capital ("RBC") requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements that would require any regulatory or corrective action for all periods presented herein.

12.    Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of an asset is the amount at which that asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The fair value of a liability is the amount at which that liability could be incurred or settled in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation

and judgment which becomes more significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used.

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Life insurance liabilities that contain mortality risk and all nonfinancial instruments have been excluded from the disclosure requirements. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The Company’s composition of asset mix can change from period to period and all assets described below may not be held at December 31, 2021.


The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto:

Bonds and equity securities: The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its bonds, preferred stocks and common stocks reported herein in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value measurement as prescribed in SSAP No. 100R, Fair Value (“SSAP No. 100R”). Valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services, brokers, and industry-standard vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The valuations obtained from brokers and third-party commercial pricing services are non-binding. The valuations are reviewed and validated through price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

Fair values of privately placed bonds are typically determined using a matrix-based pricing model. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in its relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

Fair values for actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. Corporate bonds, ABS, U.S. agency bonds, and foreign securities use observable pricing method such as matrix pricing, market corroborated pricing or inputs such as yield curves and indices. These investments are classified as Level 2. All other bonds are classified as level 2 or 3.

For securities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placement investments, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rates used vary as a function of factors such as yield, credit quality and maturity. The Company's statutory fair values represent the amount that would be received to sell securities at the measurement date, i.e., “exit price” concept.

Mortgage loans: Estimated fair values for commercial real estate loans were generated using a discounted cash flow approach. Loans in good standing are discounted using interest rates determined by U.S. Treasury yields on December 31 and spreads applied on new loans with similar characteristics. The amortizing features of all loans are incorporated in the valuation. Where data on option features is available, option values are determined using a binomial valuation method, and are incorporated into the mortgage valuation. Restructured loans are valued in the same manner; however, these loans were discounted at a greater spread to reflect increased risk.

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values for derivative financial instruments are based on broker/dealer valuations or on internal discounted cash flow pricing models, taking into account current cash flow assumptions and our own and the counterparties’ credit standing.

The carrying value of all other financial instruments approximates their fair value.

Included in various investment related line items in the financial statements are certain financial instruments carried at fair value. Other financial instruments are periodically measured at fair value, such as when impaired, or, for certain bonds and preferred stock, when carried at the lower of cost or market.

Derivatives are carried at fair value which is determined using observable key financial data from third-party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") and Overnight Indexed Swap Rates ("OIS"). Effective June 30, 2012, the Company began using the OIS curve for discounting cash flows rather than LIBOR curve for rate derivatives. The Company typically utilizes values established by third-party brokers. Derivatives which qualify for special hedge accounting treatment are reported in a manner that is consistent with the accounting for the hedged asset or liability.

The Company's financial assets and liabilities have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100R.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
c)Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and
d)Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the reported values for the investments and derivatives described below:

Bonds and other invested assets: Securities that are carried at fair value on the balance sheet are classified as Level 2 or Level 3. Level 2 bond prices are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data to provide estimated fair values. Fair value for privately placed bonds and other invested assets are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, independent broker quotes are solicited. Securities priced using independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3. The Company’s Level 3 fair value measurements of its bonds and other invested assets are primarily based on broker quotes for which the quantitative detail of the unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably corroborated, thus negating the ability to perform a sensitivity analysis.

Preferred and Common Stock: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Certain preferred and common stock prices are obtained through commercial pricing services and are classified

as Level 2 assets. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by other sources such as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

Cash equivalents and short-term investments: The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are generally determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1 and Level 2.

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. Mutual funds, short-term investments and cash are based upon a quoted market price and are included in Level 1 and Level 2.

Derivatives: Certain derivatives are carried at fair value which is determined using observable key financial data such as yield curves, exchange rates, S&P 500 Index prices, LIBOR, and OIS. Derivatives fair values are generally obtained from third party sources. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. The Company’s own credit risk is monitored by comparison of credit ratings from national rating services. It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better.


Mortgage loans: The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated on a monthly basis using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. Mortgage loans are classified as Level 3.

Contract loans: The fair value of contract loans approximates the carrying value of the loans. Contract loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance contracts and are classified as Level 2.

Deposit type contracts: Fair value is estimated as the present value of expected cash flows associated with the contract liabilities discounted using risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The valuation is consistent with current market parameters. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included. These liabilities are classified as Level 3. For certain deposit type contracts, fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at rates that are risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. These liabilities are classified as Level 2.

Supplementary contracts and immediate annuities: Fair value is estimated as the present value of expected cash flows associated with the contract liabilities discounted using risk-free rates plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The valuation is consistent with

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantee Agreements: The Company guarantees certain contractual policy claims of its subsidiary, Midwestern. In the unlikely event that Midwestern was unable to fulfill its obligations to policyholders, the Company would be obligated to assume the guaranteed policy obligations. Any ultimate contingent losses in connection with such guarantees will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future operations or financial position. The Company recorded a liability of $0.0 related to this guarantee as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company was not required to make any payments related to this guarantee during the years ended 2021 and 2020.
The following table shows an aggregate compilation of the Company’s guarantees as of December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Total$15,786 

Operating Leases: The Company is party to certain cost-sharing arrangements and service agreements with other affiliated Resolution Life U.S. Holdings Inc. companies. Included in these cost-sharing arrangements is rent expense, which is allocated to the Company in accordance with systematic cost allocation arrangements. Under a former cost-sharing and services agreements with Voya Financial, Inc. companies, the rent expense was allocated to the Company in accordance with systematic cost allocation arrangements. The Company incurred rent expense of $2.9 for 2021 under this cost-sharing methodology. For 2020 and 2019 the amounts were minimal.

Legal Proceedings - The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits or arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation and arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. .

In addition, the life insurance industry, including the Company, has experienced litigation alleging, for example, that insurance companies have breached the terms of their life

insurance policies by increasing the insurance rates of the applicable policies inappropriately or by factoring into rate adjustments elements not disclosed under the terms of the applicable policies, and, consequently, unjustly enriched themselves. This litigation is generally known as cost of insurance litigation. 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 material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial position. This litigation includes Advance Trust & Life Escrow Services, LTA v. Security Life of Denver (USDC District of Colorado, No. 1:18-cv-01897) (filed July 26, 2018), a putative class action in which Plaintiff alleges that two specific types of universal life insurance policies only permitted the Company to rely upon the policyholder’s expected future mortality experience to establish and increase the cost of insurance, but the Company instead relied upon other, non-disclosed factors not only in the administration of the policies over time, but also in the decision to increase insurance costs beginning in approximately October 2015. Plaintiff alleges a breach of contract and seeks class certification. The Company denies the allegations in the complaint, believes the complaint to be without merit, and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Regulatory Matters - As with many financial services companies, the Company periodically receives informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with examinations, inquiries, investigations and audits of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. Some of the investigations, examinations, audits and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential outcome of such regulatory action is difficult to predict, but could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to beneficiaries, settlement payments, penalties, fines and other financial liability, and changes to the Company's policies and procedures. The potential economic consequences cannot be predicted, but management does not believe that the outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters.

Investment Purchase Commitments: As part of its overall investment strategy, the Company has entered into agreements to purchase private placements and commercial mortgages of $315.7 and $36.5 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company is also committed to provide additional capital contributions of $376.8 and $218.4 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in partnerships.

Liquidity: The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are product charges, investment income, premiums, proceeds from the maturity and sale of investments, and capital contributions. Primary uses of these funds are payments of commissions and operating expenses, interest credits, investment purchases, and contract maturities, withdrawals, death benefits, surrenders and dividends to its parent.

The Company’s liquidity position is managed by maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. In addition, the investment portfolio is primarily composed of high quality fixed income investments, which include holdings of U.S. Government securities, high quality corporate bonds and agency backed residential mortgage backed securities. 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.

The fixed account liabilities are supported by a general account portfolio principally composed of fixed rate investments with matching duration characteristics that can generate predictable, steady rates of return. The portfolio management strategy for the general account considers the assets available-for-sale. This strategy enables the Company to respond to changes in market interest rates, prepayment risk, relative values of asset sectors and individual securities and loans, credit quality outlook, and other relevant factors. The Company’s asset/liability management discipline includes strategies to minimize exposure to loss as interest rates and economic and market conditions change. In executing this strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to manage these risks. The Company’s derivative counterparties are of high credit quality.

14.        Financing Agreements

The Company has entered into a reciprocal loan agreement with Resolution Life US to promote efficient management of cash and liquidity and to provide for unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Under this agreement, which expires January 4, 2031, the Company and Resolution Life US can borrow up to 3% of the Company's admitted assets excluding separate accounts as of December 31 of the preceding year from one another. Interest on any borrowing by a subsidiary under a reciprocal loan agreement is charged at a rate based on the prevailing market rate for similar third-party borrowing or securities. Under this agreement, the Company incurred interest expense of $2.2 for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $12.4 outstanding receivable from and $235.0 outstanding payable to Resolution Life US under the reciprocal loan agreement.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is the beneficiary of letters of credit totaling $7.5. The terms of the letters of credit provide for automatic renewal upon anniversary unless otherwise canceled or terminated by the ceding company or the letter of credit provider.

Service Agreements: The Company has entered into an inter-insurer services agreement with its U.S. insurance company affiliates and other affiliates (collectively, the "affiliates") whereby the affiliates provide certain administrative, management, professional, advisory, consulting, and other services to each other. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019 expenses were immaterial.

The Company had entered into a similar agreement with its former U.S. insurance company affiliates and other former affiliates; whereby the affiliates provide certain administrative, management, professional, advisory, consulting, and other services to each other.

January 1, 2020, SLD recaptured the retrocession of the block from Canada Life. SLD reports zero accident and health business on a net basis, and a de minimis amount on a gross basis.

The change in the liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:

(In Thousands)
Balance at January 1$— $369,079

Total paid— 72,561 
Net balance at December 31— (1,265)
Plus reinsurance recoverables1,265 
Balance at December 31$— $— 

The liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses was included in accident and health reserves and unpaid claims on the balance sheet.

The change in incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses attributable to insured events of prior years was generally the result of ongoing analysis of recent loss development trends. Original estimates are increased or decreased as additional information becomes known regarding individual claims.

As a result of a modified coinsurance reinsurance agreement, the entire claim liability was held by the Company, while only 20% of the paid claims remain on the Company's financial statements. Incurred and paid claims are presented net of reinsurance.

The Company currently does not actively write any health insurance premium subject to the Affordable Care Act Risk sharing provisions. As a result, the Company does not have any admitted assets, liabilities or revenue elements under any program regarding the risk sharing provisions of the Affordable Care Act for the reporting periods ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

17.    Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all events occurring after December 31, 2021 through April 29, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, to determine whether any event required either recognition or disclosure in the statutory-basis financial statements. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military invasion of Ukraine. The Russia-Ukraine war is resulting in increased geo-political and economic uncertainty. The Company had immaterial exposure in its investment portfolio to Russia of approximately $34 as at December 31, 2021. The Company has concluded that the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the balance sheet.
