*  State premium taxes (which currently range from 0% to 4% of premium payments) may apply but are not 
  reflected in the fee tables or examples. See “Premium and Other Taxes.”   
1  This is a deferred sales charge. The percentage will be determined by the applicable early withdrawal charge 
  schedule in the “Fees” section. In certain cases, this charge may not apply to a portion or all of your withdrawal. 
  The early withdrawal charge reduces over time. These fees may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain 
  circumstances. See the “Fees” section.     
2  The annual maintenance fee is generally deducted only from installment purchase payment contracts. Under 
  certain contracts, the annual maintenance fee may also be deducted upon full withdrawals. See “Fees - Annual 
  Maintenance Fee.”     
3  We currently do not impose this charge, however; if allowed by your contract, we reserve the right to charge up to 
  0.25% annually. See “Fees - Administrative Expense Charge.”   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  6   

 



The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the funds that you may 
pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. The minimum and maximum expenses listed 
below are based on expenses for the funds’ most recent fiscal year ends without taking into account any fee 
waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. More detail concerning each fund’s fees and 
expenses is contained in the prospectus for each fund.         
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses    Minimum  Maximum 
(expenses that are deducted from fund assets, including management fees       
and other expenses)        0.34%    1.05% 
 
Examples               
 
The following Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of 
investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract holder transaction expenses, 
contract fees including the annual maintenance fee of $20 (converted to a percentage of assets equal to 
(0.066%), separate account annual expenses, and fund fees and expenses.       
 
Example 1: The following Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. 
The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the maximum fees and 
expenses of any of the funds.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your 
costs would be:               
               
(A) If you withdraw your entire account value at the  (B) If you do not withdraw your entire account 
end of the applicable time period*:    value or if you select an income phase payment 
          option at the end of the applicable time period**: 
 
1 Year  3 Years       5 Years  10 Years  1 Year  3 Years  5 Years  10 Years 
 
  $725  $1,296  $1,894  $2,950  $265  $813  $1,388  $2,950 
               
Example 2: The following Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. 
The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the minimum fees and 
expenses of any of the funds.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your 
costs would be:               
 
(A) If you withdraw your entire account value at the  (B) If you do not withdraw your entire account 
end of the applicable time period*:    value or if you select an income phase payment 
          option at the end of the applicable time period**: 
 
1 Year  3 Years        5 Years  10 Years  1 Year  3 Years  5 Years  10 Years 
 
        $657  $1,092  $1,554  $2,228  $194  $599  $1,029  $2,228 
 
*  This example reflects deduction of an early withdrawal charge calculated using the schedule applicable to 
  Installment Purchase Payment Contracts. The Installment Purchase Payment Contracts schedule is listed in 
  “Fees.” Under that schedule, if only one $10,000 payment was made as described above, fewer than 5 
  purchase payment periods would have been completed at the end of years 1, 3 and 5, and the 5% charge would 
  apply. At the end of the tenth year the early withdrawal charge is waived regardless of the number of purchase 
  payment periods completed, and no early withdrawal charge would apply.     
**  This example does not apply during the income phase if you elect to receive income phase payments under a 
  nonlifetime variable payment option and subsequently request a lump-sum withdrawal after the income phase 
  payments start. In this circumstance, the lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the accumulation 
  phase and may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as shown in Example A.     
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11        7       

 



Fees Deducted by the Funds   
 
Fund Fee Information. The fund prospectuses show the investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses 
including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each fund. See the “Fees” section of this prospectus, and 
the fund prospectuses, for further information. Fund fees are one factor that impact the value of a fund share. To 
learn about additional factors, refer to the fund prospectuses. 
 
The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual 
percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund 
company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that 
are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. The 
Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other 
services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These additional payments may also be used 
by the Company to finance distribution. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to 
the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fund fees and expenses. See “Fees - Fund Fees and 
Expenses” for additional information.   
 
In the case of fund companies affiliated with the Company, where the affiliated investment adviser employs 
subadvisers to manage the funds, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser 
by the subadvisers. Subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend 
business meetings or training conferences. Investment management fees are apportioned between the affiliated 
investment adviser and subadviser. This apportionment varies by subadviser, resulting in varying amounts of 
revenue retained by the investment adviser. This apportionment of the investment advisory fee does not increase, 
directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. See “Fees - Fund Fees and Expenses” for additional information. 
 
How Fees are Deducted. Fees are deducted from the value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn affects 
the value of each subaccount that purchases fund shares. 
 
CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION 
 
Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In Appendix III of this prospectus, we provide condensed 
financial information about Variable Annuity Account B subaccounts you may invest in through the contract. The 
tables show value of the subaccounts over the past 10 years. For subaccounts that were not available 10 years ago, 
we show the year-end unit values of each subaccount from the time purchase payments were first received in the 
subaccounts under the contract.   
 
Financial Statements. The statements of assets and liabilities, the statements of operations, the statements of 
changes in net assets and the related notes to financial statements for Variable Annuity Account B and the 
consolidated financial statements and the related notes to financial statements for ING Life Insurance and Annuity 
Company (the Company) are located in the Statement of Additional Information. 
 
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B 
 
We established Variable Annuity Account B (the “separate account”) under Connecticut Law in 1976 as a 
continuation of the separate account established in 1974 under Arkansas law by Aetna Variable Annuity Life 
Insurance Company. The separate account was established as a segregated asset account to fund variable annuity 
contracts. The separate account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 
(the “40 Act”). It also meets the definition of “separate account” under the federal securities laws. 
 
The separate account is divided into “subaccounts.” Each subaccount invests directly in shares of a pre-assigned 
fund.   
 
Although we hold title to the assets of the separate account, such assets are not chargeable with the liabilities of any 
other business that we conduct. Income, gains or losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against the 
assets of the separate account without regard to other income, gains or losses of ING Life Insurance and Annuity 
Company. All obligations arising under the contracts are obligations of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. 
All guarantees and benefits provided under the contracts that are not related to the separate account are subject to the 
claims paying ability of the company and our general account. 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  8 

 



THE COMPANY   
 
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the Company, we, us, our) issues the contracts described in this 
prospectus and is responsible for providing each contract’s insurance and annuity benefits. All guarantees and 
benefits provided under the contracts that are not related to the separate account are subject to the claims paying 
ability of the company and our general account. We are a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut 
Holding Inc.   
 
We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and 
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of 
insurance, banking and asset management. Through a merger, our operations include the business of Aetna Variable 
Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an Arkansas 
life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna Life 
Insurance and Annuity Company.   
 
As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission, ING Groep N.V. has agreed to separate its 
banking and insurance business by 2013. ING Groep N.V. intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its 
insurance and investment management operations, including the Company. ING Groep has announced that it will 
explore all options for implementing the separation including initial public offerings, sales or a combination thereof. 
 
We are engaged in the business of issuing life insurance and annuities. Our principal executive offices are located at: 
 
One Orange Way   
Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774 
 
Regulatory Matters. As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically 
receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self- 
regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the 
Company or financial services industry. Some of these investigations and inquires could result in regulatory action 
against the Company. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company or 
its affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, fines, and other 
financial liability. It is not currently anticipated that the outcome of any such action will have a material adverse 
effect on ING or ING’s U.S. based operations, including the Company. It is the practice of the company and its 
affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.   
 
Product Regulation. Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, securities 
and insurance laws, and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental and self- 
regulatory authorities, including state insurance regulators, state securities administrators, the SEC, the Financial 
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).For 
example, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to product design, administration, and 
investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Tax Code. See “TAX 
CONSIDERATIONS” for further discussion of some of these requirements. Failure to administer certain 
product features could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal securities and insurance 
laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering and distribution, and 
administration. Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject the 
Company to administrative penalties imposed by a particular governmental or self regulatory authority and 
unanticipated claims and costs associated with remedying such failure. Additionally, such failure could harm the 
Company’s reputation, interrupt the Company’s operations or adversely impact profitability. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  9 

 



INVESTMENT OPTIONS   
 
The contract offers variable investment options and a fixed interest option. 
 
Variable Interest Options. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity 
Account B (“the separate account”), a separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in a specific 
mutual fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds. 
 
  Mutual Fund (fund) Descriptions: We provide brief descriptions of the funds in Appendix II. Refer to the 
  fund prospectuses for additional information. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge, from our 
  administrative service center at the address and phone number listed in “Contract Overview - Questions: 
  Contacting the Company,” by accessing the SEC’s web site or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Branch. 
 
Fixed Interest Option. The Fixed Account guarantees payment of the minimum interest rate specified in the 
contract. For a description of the Fixed Account, see Appendix I. 
 
When Selecting Investment Options:   
  Choose options appropriate for you. Your sales representative can help you evaluate which investment 
  options may be appropriate for your financial goals; 
  Understand the risks associated with the options you choose. Some subaccounts invest in funds that are 
  considered riskier than others. Funds with additional risks are expected to have values that rise and fall more 
  rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds investing in foreign or international 
  securities are subject to risks not associated with domestic investments, and their investment performance may 
  vary accordingly. Also, funds using derivatives in their investment strategy may be subject to additional risks; 
  and   
  Be informed. Read this prospectus, the fund prospectuses and Appendix I. 
 
Limits on Availability of Options. Some funds or the fixed interest option may be unavailable through your 
contract or in your state. We may add, withdraw or substitute funds, subject to conditions in your contract and 
compliance with regulatory requirements. In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and 
charges than the fund it replaced.   
 
Limits on How Many Investment Options You May Select. You may select no more than 18 investment options 
during the accumulation phase. Each subaccount you select and the Fixed Account counts as one option once you 
have made an allocation to it, even if you no longer have amounts allocated to that option. 
 
Additional Risks of Investing in the Funds.   
 
Insurance-Dedicated Funds (Mixed and Shared Funding). The funds described in this prospectus are available 
only to insurance companies for their variable contracts (or directly to certain retirement plans, as allowed by the 
Tax Code). Such funds are often referred to as “insurance-dedicated funds,” and are used for “mixed” and “shared” 
funding.   
 
“Mixed funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccount buys for variable annuity contracts, are bought 
for variable life insurance contracts issued by us or other insurance companies. 
 
“Shared funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccount buys for variable annuity contracts, are also 
bought by other insurance companies for their variable annuity contracts. In other words: 
  Mixed funding - bought for annuities and life insurance 
  Shared funding - bought by more than one company 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  10 

 



It is possible that a conflict of interest may arise due to mixed and/or shared funding, which could adversely impact 
the value of a fund. For example, if a conflict of interest occurred and one of the subaccounts withdrew its 
investment in a fund, the fund may be forced to sell its securities at disadvantageous prices, causing its share value 
to decrease. Each fund’s Board of Directors or Trustees will monitor events to identify any conflicts which may 
arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts. 
 
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS 
 
During the accumulation phase, you may transfer amounts among the available subaccounts. Transfers from the 
Fixed Account may be restricted as outlined in Appendix I, and the total number of investment options that you may 
select during the accumulation period is limited. See “Investment Options - Limits on How Many Investment 
Options You May Select.” The minimum transfer amount is $500. You may establish automated transfers of account 
value. See “Dollar Cost Averaging.” Transfers must be made in accordance with the terms of your contract. You 
may not make transfers once you enter the income phase. See “The Income Phase.” 
 
Transfer Requests. Requests may be made in writing, by telephone or, where applicable, electronically. 
 
Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers   
 
The contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt 
management of a fund and raise its expenses through: 
  Increased trading and transaction costs;   
  Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;   
  Lost opportunity costs; and   
  Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all contract 
  owners.   
 
This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use 
market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the contract. 
 
Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the ING family of companies that provide multi-fund 
variable insurance and retirement products have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the 
demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund 
trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act. 
 
We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify 
violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and 
reallocation activity:   
  Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or 
  Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable 
  insurance and retirement products.   
 
We currently define “Excessive Trading” as:   
  More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a 60 calendar day 
  period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or 
  more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet our definition of 
  Excessive Trading; or   
  Six round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  11 

 



The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive: 
  Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments, withdrawals 
  and loans);   
  Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing, or scheduled asset allocation 
  programs;   
  Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less; 
  Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares, and movement 
  between such funds and a money market fund; and 
  Transactions initiated by us, another member of the ING family of companies, or a fund. 
 
If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip 
involving the same fund, we will send them a letter (once per year) warning that another sale of that same fund 
within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six 
month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice 
Response Unit (VRU), telephone calls to the ING Customer Service Center, or other electronic trading medium that 
we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an 
individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we will 
send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial 
purchase in the first round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a suspension of their Electronic 
Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy of any warning letters may also be 
sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered 
representative, or the investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the warning letters and details of 
the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares were involved in the trading 
activity.   
 
If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter 
stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all 
fund transfers or reallocations, not just those that involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that 
violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via 
regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product 
through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry 
only” privileges will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer and 
reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent, 
as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered 
representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity, and the fund whose shares were involved in the 
activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.   
 
Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy 
are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer 
and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite 
suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month 
suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. 
 
We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or 
without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is 
disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products, regardless of 
whether the individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above. 
 
Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated 
under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic 
Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy. 
 
The Company does not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our 
Excessive Trading Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending 
on, among other factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of contract owners and fund investors, 
and/or state or federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all contract 
owners or, as applicable, to all contract owners investing in the underlying fund. 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  12 

 



Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market-timing or excessive trading 
activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted 
above.   
 
Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement 
products offered by us and/or the other members of the ING family of companies, either by prospectus or stated 
policy, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of fund 
shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice, to 
implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as 
violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the 
corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations 
(which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future 
purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from 
the fund.   
 
Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we 
have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through 
the contract. Contract owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund 
companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these 
agreements, the Company is required to share information regarding contract owner transactions, including but not 
limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about contract owner 
transactions, this information may include personal contract owner information, including names and social security 
numbers or other tax identification numbers.   
 
As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a contract owner’s transactions if 
the fund determines that the contract owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could 
include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of purchase payments or contract value to the fund or all funds 
within the fund family.   
 
Charges for Transfers. We currently do not charge for transfers. 
 
Value of Your Transferred Dollars. The value of amounts transferred into or out of subaccounts will be based on 
the subaccount unit values next determined after we receive your transfer request in good order at our the address 
listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting the Company,” or, if you are participating in the dollar cost 
averaging program, after your scheduled transfer. 
 
Telephone and Electronic Transactions: Security Measures. To prevent fraudulent use of telephone and 
electronic transactions (including, but not limited to, Internet transactions), we have established security procedures. 
These include recording calls on our toll-free telephone lines and requiring use of a personal identification number 
(PIN) to execute transactions. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and account information confidential. If we 
fail to follow reasonable security procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent 
telephone or other electronic transactions. We are not liable for losses resulting from following telephone or 
electronic instructions we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instructions, you will bear the 
loss.   
 
The Dollar Cost Averaging Program. Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy whereby you purchase fixed 
dollar amounts of an investment at regular intervals, regardless of price. Under this program a fixed dollar amount is 
automatically transferred from one of your investment options to one or more of the subaccounts. Transfers from the 
Fixed Account under the dollar cost averaging program may be restricted. (See Appendix I.) Dollar cost averaging 
neither ensures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market. You should consider your financial ability 
to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. There is no additional charge for this program. For 
additional information about this program, contact your local representative or call us at the number listed in 
“Contract Overview - Questions: Contacting the Company.” Subaccount reallocations or changes outside of the 
dollar cost averaging may affect the program.  Changes such as fund mergers, substitutions, or closures may also 
affect the program.

PURCHASE AND RIGHTS   
 
How to Purchase. Complete the application and deliver it along with your initial purchase payment to us. Upon 
our approval, we will issue you a contract and set up an account for you. 
 
Two types of contracts are available:   
  Installment Purchase Payment contracts. Under these contracts, you make continuing periodic payments. 
  Single Purchase Payment contracts. Under these contracts you make a single payment to the contract or a 
  lump-sum transfer of amounts accumulated under a pre-existing annuity or retirement arrangement. 
 
Payment Amounts. The minimum payment amount for each type of contract is as follows: 
  The minimum payment for a single purchase payment contract is $5,000; and 
  Installment purchase payments must be at least $100 per month ($1,200 annually) and may not be less than $25 
  per payment.   
 
Acceptance or Rejection of Your Application. We must accept or reject your application within two business days 
of receipt. If the application is incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying purchase payment(s) for five 
business days. We may hold purchase payments for longer periods, pending acceptance of the application, only with 
your permission. If the application is rejected, the application and any purchase payments will be returned to you. 
 
Allocating Purchase Payments to the Investment Options. We will allocate your purchase payments among the 
investment options you select. Allocations must be in whole percentages and there may be a limit on the number of 
investment options you may select. When selecting investment options, you may find it helpful to review the 
“Investment Options” section.   
 
Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. The decision to purchase the contract should be discussed with 
your financial representative. Make sure that you understand the investment options it provides, its other features, 
the risks and potential benefits you will face, and the fees and expenses you will incur when, together with your 
financial representative, you consider an investment in the contract. You should pay attention to the following 
issues, among others:   
  Long-Term Investment - This contract is a long-term investment, and is typically most useful as part of a 
  personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The 
  value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time funds are left in the contract. You should 
  not participate in this contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to need to make 
  withdrawals before you are 59½;   
  Investment Risk - The value of investment options available under this contract may fluctuate with the markets 
  and interest rates. You should not participate in this contract in order to invest in these options if you cannot risk 
  getting back less money than you put in;   
  Features and Fees - The fees for this contract reflect costs associated with the features and benefits it provides. 
  As you consider this contract, you should determine the value that these various benefits and features have for 
  you, given your particular circumstances, and consider the charges for those features; and 
  Exchanges - Replacing an existing insurance contract with this contract may not be beneficial to you. If this 
  contract will be a replacement for another annuity contract, you should compare the two options carefully, 
  compare the costs associated with each, and identify additional benefits available under this contract. You 
  should consider whether these additional benefits justify incurring a new schedule of early withdrawal charges 
  or any increased charges that might apply under this contract. Also, be sure to talk to your financial professional 
  or tax adviser to make sure that the exchange will be handled so that it is tax-free. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  14 

 



When considering whether to purchase or participate in the contract, you should consult with your financial 
representative about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance. 
 
Other Products. We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than these 
contracts, which may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges, 
and may offer different share classes of the funds offered in this contract that are less expensive. These other 
products may or may not better match your needs. You should be aware that there are alternative options available, 
and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact your registered representative. 
 
 
RIGHT TO CANCEL   
 
When and How to Cancel. You may cancel the contract within ten days of receipt (some states require more than 
ten days) by returning it to the address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting the Company” along 
with a written notice of cancellation.   
 
Refunds. We will issue you a refund within seven calendar days of our receipt of your contract and written notice of 
cancellation. Unless your state requires otherwise, your refund will equal the purchase payments made plus any 
earnings or minus any losses attributable to those amounts allocated to the subaccounts. Any mortality and expense 
risk charges and administrative expense charges (if any) deducted during the period you held the contract will not be 
returned. We will not deduct an early withdrawal charge. In other words, you will bear the entire investment risk for 
amounts allocated among the subaccounts during this period and the amount refunded could be less than the amount 
paid. If your state requires, we will refund all purchase payments made. 
 
If the purchase payments for your cancelled contract came from a transfer or rollover from another contract issued 
by us or one of our affiliates where an early withdrawal charge was reduced or eliminated, the purchase payments 
will be restored to your prior contract.

you specified plus adjustment for any applicable early withdrawal charge.    > Mortality and 
      Expense Risk Charge 
Amount. The charge is a percentage of the amount that you withdraw. The    > Administrative

Purpose. This is a deferred sales charge. It reimburses us for some of the       
sales and administrative expenses associated with the contract. If our    Contract Year (for single 
expenses are greater than the amount we collect for the early withdrawal    purchase payment 
charge, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit    contracts) - A 12 month

PRO.75998-11  16       

 



Waiver. The early withdrawal charge is waived if the withdrawal is: 
• Used to provide income phase payments to you;   
• Paid because of your death;   
• Taken under a systematic distribution option (see “Systematic Distribution Options”); 
• Taken on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of an installment purchase payment contract; 
• Paid when your account value is $2,500 or less and no withdrawal has been taken from the account within the 
 prior 12 months;   
• Taken in part or in full from an installment purchase payment contract provided you are at least 59½ and nine 
purchase payment periods have been completed; or 
• Taken in an amount of ten percent or less of your account value. This applies only to the first partial withdrawal 
in each calendar year and does not apply to full withdrawals or withdrawals under a systematic distribution 
option. The ten percent amount will be calculated using your account value as of the next valuation after your 
withdrawal request is received in good order at the address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting 
the Company.” This waiver does not apply to contracts issued in the state of Washington. 
 
Redemption Fees   
 
Certain funds may deduct redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers, or other fund transactions you 
initiate. If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying mutual funds as 
a result of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and 
distinct from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your account value. For a more complete 
description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus. 
 
Periodic Fees and Charges   
 
Annual Maintenance Fee   
 
Maximum Amount. $20.00 for installment purchase payment contracts. There is no maintenance fee for single 
purchase payment contracts.   
 
When/How. Each year during the accumulation phase, we deduct this fee from your account value on your account 
anniversary. It is also deducted at the time of a full withdrawal, to the extent permitted under state law. It is deducted 
proportionately from each subaccount and fixed interest option in which you have interest. 
 
Purpose. This fee reimburses us for administrative expenses related to the establishment and maintenance of your 
account.   
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge   
 
Maximum Amount. 1.25% annually of your account value invested in the subaccounts. See “The Income Phase - 
Charges Deducted.”   
 
When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. We do not 
deduct this charge from any fixed interest option. This charge is deducted during the accumulation phase and the 
income phase.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  17 

 



Purpose. This charge compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contracts. Namely: 
  Mortality risks are those risks associated with our promises to pay the death benefit available under the contract 
  and to make lifetime income phase payments based on annuity rates specified in the contract; and 
  Expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the contracts will exceed the maximum costs 
  that we can charge.   
 
If the amount we deduct for this charge is not enough to cover our mortality costs and expenses under the contracts, 
we will bear the loss. We may use any excess to recover distribution costs relating to the contract and as a source of 
profit. We expect to make a profit from this charge.   
 
Administrative Expense Charge   
 
Maximum Amount. 0.25%. We currently do not impose this charge. We reserve the right, however, on 30 days’ 
notice, if allowed by your contract, to charge up to 0.25% annually of your daily net assets invested in the 
subaccounts.   
 
When/How. If imposed, we will deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you 
select. We do not deduct this charge from the fixed interest option. This charge may be assessed during the 
accumulation phase and/or the income phase. If we are imposing this charge when you enter the income phase, the 
charge will apply to you during the entire income phase. 
 
Purpose. This charge helps defray our administrative expenses that cannot be recovered by the mortality and 
expense risk charge described above. The charge is not intended to exceed the average expected cost of 
administering the contracts. We do not expect to make a profit from this charge. 
 
Fund Fees and Expenses   
 
As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “Fees Deducted by the Funds” section of this prospectus, 
each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund deducts other 
expenses, which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including the Company 
and its affiliates, for administrative and contract holder services provided on behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain 
funds deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in 
the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s 
prospectus.   
 
Less expensive share classes of the funds offered through this contract may be available for investment outside of 
this contract. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the funds available through this contract before 
making a decision to invest.   
 
The Company may receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates, although the amount 
and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the contract. This revenue is one of 
several factors we consider when determining contract fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through our 
contracts. Fund revenue is important to the Company’s profitability and it is generally more profitable for us 
to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds. 
 
Assets allocated to affiliated funds, meaning funds managed by Directed Services LLC, ING Investments, LLC or 
another Company affiliate, generate the largest dollar amount of revenue for the Company. Affiliated funds may 
also be subadvised by a Company affiliate or by an unaffiliated third party. Assets allocated to unaffiliated funds, 
meaning funds managed by an unaffiliated third party, generate lesser, but still substantial dollar amounts of revenue 
for the Company. The Company expects to earn a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the Company’s 
expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  18 

 



Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds   
 
The revenues received by the Company from affiliated funds may be deducted from fund assets and may include: 
  A share of the management fee;   
  Service fees;   
  For certain share classes, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees; and 
  Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the 
  Company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees. 
 
In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between 
the Company and the affiliated investment adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the 
subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying 
amounts of revenue are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the Company. The 
Company may also receive additional compensation in the form of intercompany payments from an affiliated fund’s 
investment advisor or the investment advisor’s parent in order to allocate revenue and profits across the 
organization. The intercompany payments and other revenue received from affiliated funds provide the Company 
with a financial incentive to offer affiliated funds through the contract rather than unaffiliated funds. 
 
Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds   
 
Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the 
average net assets held in that fund by the Company. Some unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than 
others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant. 
 
The revenues received by the Company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds may be deducted from fund assets 
and may include:   
  Service Fees;   
  For certain share classes, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees; and 
  Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which we provide to the funds or their 
  affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests, and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports 
  and proxy materials. These additional payments do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses 
  shown in each fund prospectus. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the 
  contract.   
 
As of the date of this prospectus, Fidelity Investments is the only unaffiliated fund family offered through this 
prospectus. The Company receives the most fund revenue from Directed Services LLC, ING Investments, LLC and 
other Company affiliates.   
 
In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and 
unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in 
Company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s 
investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with 
the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser 
or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to Company sales representatives and wholesalers 
rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to: co-branded 
marketing materials; targeted marketing sales opportunities; training opportunities at meetings; training modules for 
sales personnel; and opportunities to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers. 
 
Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds.” These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund 
that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying 
funds in which they invest. These funds are affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be 
affiliated as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each fund and its 
corresponding underlying fund or funds. These funds are identified in the investment option list in the front of this 
prospectus.   
 
Please note certain management personnel and other employees of the Company or its affiliates may receive a 
portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. See 
also “Contract Distribution.”   
 
 
PRO.75998-11  19 

 



Premium and Other Taxes   
 
Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently range 
from 0% to 4%, depending upon the jurisdiction.   
 
When/How. We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your account value or from purchase 
payments to the account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. For example, we may 
deduct a charge for premium taxes at the time of a complete withdrawal or we may reflect the cost of premium taxes 
in our income phase payment rates when you commence income phase payments. 
 
We will not deduct a charge for any municipal premium tax of 1% or less, but we reserve the right to reflect such an 
expense in our income phase payment rates.   
 
In addition, the Company reserves the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the separate account, 
see “Tax Considerations.”   
 
 
YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE   
 
During the accumulation phase, your account value at any given time equals: 
  The current dollar value of amounts held in the subaccounts, which takes into account investment performance 
  and fees deducted from the subaccounts; plus   
  The current dollar value of amounts held in the Fixed Account, including interest to date. 
 
Subaccount Accumulation Units. When you select a fund as an investment option, your account dollars invest in 
“accumulation units” of the Variable Annuity Account B subaccount corresponding to that fund. The subaccount 
invests directly in the fund’s shares. The value of your interest in a subaccount is expressed as the number of 
accumulation units you hold multiplied by an “Accumulation Unit Value,” as described below, for each unit. 
 
Accumulation Unit Value (AUV). The value of each accumulation unit in a subaccount is called the accumulation 
unit value or AUV. The AUV varies daily in relation to the underlying fund’s investment performance. The value 
also reflects deductions for fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative 
expense charge (if any). We discuss these deductions in more detail in “Fee Table” and “Fees.” 
 
Valuation. We determine the AUV every normal business day after the close of the New York Stock Exchange 
(normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). At that time, we calculate the current AUV by multiplying the AUV last 
calculated by the “net investment factor” of the subaccount. The net investment factor measures the investment 
performance of the subaccount from one valuation to the next. 
 
Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Investment Factor   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  20 

 



Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor for a subaccount between two consecutive valuations equals the 
sum of 1.0000 plus the net investment rate.     
 
Net Investment Rate. The net investment rate is computed according to a formula that is equivalent to the 
following:       
  The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount as of the current valuation; minus 
  The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount at the preceding valuation; plus or minus 
  Taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, due to subaccount operations (with any federal income tax liability offset 
  by foreign tax credits to the extent allowed); divided by 
  The total value of the subaccount’s units at the preceding valuation; minus 
  A daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expense charge, if any, and 
  any other fees deducted daily from investments in the separate account. See “Fees.” 
 
The net investment rate may be either positive or negative. 
 
Illustration. As a hypothetical illustration, assume that your initial purchase payment is $5,000 and you direct us to 
invest $3,000 in Fund A and $2,000 in Fund B. Also assume that on the day we receive the purchase payment, the 
applicable AUV’s after the next close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern 
Time) are $10 for Subaccount A and $25 for Subaccount B. Your account is credited with 300 accumulation units of 
Subaccount A and 80 accumulation units of Subaccount B.

Each fund’s subsequent investment performance, expenses and charges, and the daily charges deducted from the 
subaccount, will cause the AUV to move up or down on a daily basis. 
 
Purchase Payments to Your Account. If all or a portion of the initial purchase payment is directed to the 
subaccounts, it will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV next computed after our acceptance of your 
application as described in “Purchase and Rights.” Subsequent payments or transfers directed to the subaccounts 
will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV next computed following our receipt of the purchase 
payment or transfer request in good order. The value of subaccounts may vary day to day.

the lump sum payment was invested outside of the contract. Additionally,

The following options are also available, however, the Tax Code limits how long the death benefit proceeds may 
be left in these options:   
  Leave the account value invested in the contract; or 
  Leave the account value on deposit in the Company’s general account, and receive monthly, quarterly, semi- 
  annual or annual interest payments at the interest rate then being credited on such deposits. Your beneficiary 
  can withdraw the balance on deposit at any time or request to receive payment in accordance with any of the 
  available income phase payment plans. See “The Income Phase - Payment Plans.” 
 
Steps Required for Death Benefits to be Paid to Your Beneficiary: 
  You must have designated a beneficiary(ies) for your contract; 
  Your beneficiary or someone on their behalf must provide us with proof of your death acceptable to us; and 
  Your beneficiary must elect one of the payment options available under the contract. 
 
We will not pay any death proceeds until the beneficiary elects a method of payment. Prior to the election of a 
payment method by the beneficiary, the account value will remain in the account and continue to be affected by the 
investment performance of the investment option(s) selected. The beneficiary will have the right to allocate or 
transfer amounts among available investment options. (Limitations may apply to transfers from the Fixed Account - 
see Appendix I.)   
 
We will mail payment to the beneficiary within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death and an election 
of the method of payment acceptable to us.   
 
Taxation. In general, payments received by your beneficiary after your death are taxed to the beneficiary in the 
same manner as if you had received those payments. Additionally, your beneficiary may be subject to tax penalties 
if he or she does not begin receiving death benefit payments within the time frame required by the Tax Code. See 
“Tax Considerations.”

  section);    • Annuitization - Initiating

  Choice of fixed or variable payments or a combination of fixed and   
  variable payments; and     
  Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable payments are   
  elected).     
 
Your account will continue in the accumulation phase until you properly   
initiate income phase payments. Once an income phase payment option is   
selected, it may not be changed.     
 
What Affects Payment Amounts? Some of the factors that may affect the   
amount of your income phase payments include your age, gender, account   
value, the income phase payment option selected, the number of guaranteed   
payments (if any) selected, and whether you select fixed, variable or a   
combination of both fixed and variable payments, and, for variable payments,   
the assumed net investment rate selected.     
 
Fixed Payments. Amounts funding fixed income phase payments will be held   
in the Company’s general account. The amount of fixed payments does not   
vary with investment performance over time.     
 
Variable Payments. Amounts funding your variable income phase payments   
will be invested in subaccount(s) you select. Subaccounts available during the   
accumulation phase may not be available during the income phase. Currently,   
the ING Balanced Portfolio, ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio and ING   
Growth and Income Portfolio are the only subaccounts available during the   
income phase. For variable payments, you must also select an assumed net   
investment rate.     
 
Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable income phase   
payments, you must also select an assumed net investment rate of either 5% or   
3.5%. If you select a 5% rate, your first payment will be higher, but subsequent   
payments will increase only if the investment performance of the subaccounts   
you selected is greater than 5% annually, after deduction of fees. Payment   
amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after   
deduction of fees.     
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  26   

 



If you select a 3.5% rate, your first income phase payment will be lower and subsequent payments will increase 
more rapidly or decline more slowly depending upon changes to the net investment performance of the subaccounts 
you selected. For more information about selecting an assumed net investment rate, call us for a copy of the SAI. 
See “Contract Overview - Questions: Contacting the Company.” 
 
Minimum Payment Amounts. The income phase payment option you select must result in: 
  A first income phase payment of at least $20; or   
  Total yearly income phase payments of at least $100. 
 
If your account value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts you will receive one lump-sum payment. 
 
Restrictions on Start Dates and the Duration of Payments. When income phase payments start, the age of the 
annuitant plus the number of years for which payments are guaranteed may not exceed 95. 
 
Income phase payments will not begin until you have selected an income phase payment option. Failure to select an 
income phase payment option may have adverse tax consequences. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser 
if you are considering this course of action.   
 
Charges Deducted. When you select an income payment phase option (one of the options listed in the tables 
immediately below), a mortality and expense risk charge, consisting of a daily deduction of 1.25% on an annual 
basis, will be deducted from amounts held in the subaccounts. This charge compensates us for mortality and 
expense risks we assume under variable income phase payout options and is applicable to all variable income phase 
payout options, including variable nonlifetime options under which we do not assume mortality risk. In this 
situation, this charge will be used to cover expenses. Although we expect to make a profit from this fee, we do not 
always do so. For variable options under which we do not assume a mortality risk, we may make a larger profit than 
under other options. We may also deduct a daily administrative charge of 0.25% annually from amounts held in the 
subaccounts.   
 
Death Benefit During the Income Phase. The death benefits that may be available to a beneficiary are outlined in 
the income phase payment option table below. If a lump-sum payment is due as a death benefit, we will make 
payment within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and the request for payment in 
good order at the address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting the Company.” If the continuing 
income phase payments are elected, the beneficiary may not elect to receive a lump-sum at a future date unless the 
income phase payment option specifically allows a withdrawal right. We will calculate the value of any death 
benefit at the next valuation after we receive proof of death and a request for payment. Such value will be reduced 
by any payments we made after the date of death.   
 
Unless the beneficiary elects otherwise, lump-sum payments will generally be made into an interest bearing retained 
asset account that is backed by our general account. This account is not FDIC insured and can be accessed by the 
beneficiary through a draftbook feature. The beneficiary may access the entire death benefit proceeds at any time 
through the draftbook without penalty. Interest credited under this account may be less than you could earn if the 
lump sum payment was invested outside of the contract. Additionally, interest credited on this account may be less 
than under other settlement options available through the contract, and the Company seeks to earn a profit on this 
account.   
 
At the time of death benefit election, the beneficiary may elect to receive the death benefit proceeds directly by 
check rather than through the retained asset account draftbook feature by notifying us at the address shown in the 
“Contract Overview - Questions: Contacting the Company” section of this prospectus. 
 
Partial Entry into the Income Phase. You may elect an income phase payment option for a portion of your 
account dollars, while leaving the remaining portion invested in the accumulation phase. Consult a tax adviser 
before electing this option. The same or a different income phase payment option may be selected for the portion left 
invested in the accumulation phase. See Tax Considerations – Taxation of Income Phase Annuity Payments. 
 
Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you or your beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the 
Tax Code. Additionally, when selecting an income phase payment option, the Tax Code requires that your expected 
payments will not exceed certain durations. See “Tax Considerations” for additional information.

Income Phase Payment Options 
 
The following table lists the income phase payment options and accompanying death benefits available during the 
income phase. We may offer additional income phase payment options under the contract from time to time. 
 
Once income phase payments begin, the income phase payment option selected may not be changed. 
 
Terms to understand:   
•Annuitant(s): The person(s) on whose life expectancy(ies) the income phase payments are based; and 
•Beneficiary(ies): The person(s) or entity(ies) entitled to receive a death benefit under the contract. 
 
Lifetime Income Phase Payment Options

  Length of Payments: For as long as the annuitant lives. It is possible that only one payment will be 
Life Income  made if the annuitant dies prior to the second payment’s due date. 
  Death Benefit - None: All payments end upon the annuitant’s death. 
  Length of Payments: For as long as the annuitant lives, with payments guaranteed for your choice 
  of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years or as otherwise specified in the contract. 
Life Income -  Death Benefit - Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we have made all the 
Guaranteed  guaranteed payments, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining guaranteed payments 
Payments*  unless the beneficiary elects to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the 
  remaining guaranteed payments. 
  Length of Payments: For as long as either annuitant lives. It is possible that only one payment will 
  be made if both annuitants die before the second payment’s due date. 
  Continuing Payments: 
Life Income - Two  When you select this option you choose for 100%, 66 2/3% or 50% of the payment to continue to 
Lives  the surviving annuitant after the first death; or 
  100% of the payment to continue to the annuitant on the second annuitant’s death, and 50% of the 
payment will continue to the second annuitant on the annuitant’s death.
  Death Benefit - None: All payments end upon the death of both annuitants. 
  Length of Payments: For as long as either annuitant lives, with payments guaranteed for a 
  minimum of 120 months. 
Life Income - Two  Continuing Payments: 100% of the payment will continue to the surviving annuitant after the first 
Lives with  death. 
Guaranteed  Death Benefit - Payment to the Beneficiary: If both annuitants die before the guaranteed 
Payments*  payments have all been paid, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining guaranteed 
  payments, unless the beneficiary elects to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of 
  the remaining guaranteed payments. 
Nonlifetime Income Phase Payment Options

  Length of Payment: You may select payments for 3-30 years. In certain cases a lump-sum payment 
  may be requested at any time. (see below) 
Nonlifetime-  Death Benefit - Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we make all the 
Guaranteed  guaranteed payments, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining guaranteed payments, 
Payments*  unless the beneficiary elects to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the 
  remaining guaranteed payments. 
 
Lump-Sum Payment: If the Nonlifetime - Guaranteed Payments option is elected with variable payments, you may 
request at any time that all or a portion of the present value of the remaining payments be paid in one lump sum. 
Any such lump-sum payment will be treated as a withdrawal during the accumulation phase and if the election is 
made during the early withdrawal charge period we will charge the applicable early withdrawal charge. If the early 
withdrawal charge is based on completed purchase payment periods, each year that passes after income payments 
have begun is treated as a completed purchase payment period even though no additional purchase payments have 
been made. See “Fees - Early Withdrawal Charge.” We will send lump-sum payments within seven calendar days 
after we receive the request for payment in good order at the address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: 
Contacting the Company.” 
 
Calculation of Lump-Sum Payments: If a lump-sum payment is available under the income phase payment 
options above, the rate used to calculate the present value for the remaining guaranteed payments is the same rate we 
used to calculate the income phase payments (i.e. the actual fixed rate used for the fixed payments or the 3.5% or 
5% assumed net investment rate used for variable payments). 
 
*Guaranteed period payments may not extend beyond the shorter of your life expectancy or until your age 95.

CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION   
 
General. The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, serves as the principal underwriter for the 
contracts. ING Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with 
the SEC. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) 
and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is 
located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. 
 
We sell the contracts through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that 
have entered into selling agreements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. We refer to these broker-dealers as 
“distributors.” The following distributors are affiliated with the company and have entered into selling agreements 
with ING Financial Advisers, LLC or the sale of our variable annuity contracts: 
  ING Financial Partners, Inc; and   
  Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc.   
 
Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the 
compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the 
agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives 
or payments, is not paid directly by contract holders or the separate account, but instead is paid by us through ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC. We intend to recoup this compensation and sales expenses paid to distributors through 
fees and charges imposed under the contracts.   
 
Occasionally, ING Financial Advisers, LLC may enter into arrangements with independent entities to help find 
broker-dealers or banks interested in distributing the contract or to provide training, marketing and other sales- 
related functions, or administrative services. We will reimburse such entities for expenses related to and may pay 
fees to such entities in return for these services.   
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC may also contract with independent third party broker-dealers who will act as 
wholesalers by assisting us in selecting broker-dealers or banks interested in acting as distributors. These 
wholesalers may also provide training, marketing and other sales related functions to the distributors and may 
provide certain administrative services in connection with the contract. ING Financial Advisers, LLC may pay such 
wholesalers compensation based upon purchase payments to contracts purchased through distributors that they 
select.   
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC may also designate third parties to provide services in connection with the contracts 
such as reviewing applications for completeness and compliance with insurance requirements and providing the 
distributors with approved marketing material, prospectuses or other supplies. These parties may also receive 
payments for their services based upon purchase payments. ING Financial Advisers, LLC will pay all costs and 
expenses related to these services.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  29 

 



Compensation Arrangements. Registered representatives who offer and sell the contracts may be paid a 
commission. The maximum percentage amount that may be paid with respect to a given purchase payment is 
2.75%. We may also pay asset-based compensation up to 0.10%. In addition, we may pay ongoing annual 
compensation of up to 40% of the commissions paid during the year in connection with certain premium received 
during that year, if the registered representative attains a certain threshold of sales of Company contracts. Individual 
registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor, depending upon the 
firm’s practices. Commissions and annual payments, when combined, could exceed 2.75% of total premium 
payments. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may also 
pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash payments or other compensation to 
distributors, which may require the registered representative to attain a certain threshold of sales of Company 
products.   
 
We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms’ aggregate 
or anticipated assets under management, sales of the contracts or other criteria. These arrangements may include 
commission specials, in which additional commissions may be paid in connection with premium payments received 
for a limited time period, within the maximum 2.75% commission rate noted above. These special compensation 
arrangements will not be offered to all distributors, the terms of such arrangements may differ among distributors 
based on various factors, and may be limited only to ING Financial Partners, Inc. and other distributors affiliated 
with the Company. Any such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to 
you by us.   
 
Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including 
trips, and we may also pay for some sales personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such 
compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules. Management personnel of the Company, and 
of its affiliated broker-dealers, may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds 
advised by the Company or its affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain 
management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if the overall amount of 
investments in the contracts and other products issued or advised by the Company or its affiliates increases over 
time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the 
commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the contracts. 
 
In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, through ING Financial Advisers, 
LLC we may also pay distributors additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling

TAX CONSIDERATIONS     
      In this Section 
Introduction     
 
The contract described in this prospectus is designed to be treated as an  Introduction 
annuity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section discusses our  Taxation of Nonqualified 
understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. The  Contracts 
U.S. federal income tax treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes   
uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading this section:  Possible Changes in Taxation

  applicable) may influence the federal taxation of amounts held or paid out  Taxation of the Company 
  under the contract;

  and local taxes or any other tax provisions; and     
·  No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court   
  would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.   
 
We do not intend this information to be tax advice. No attempt is made to provide more than a general 
summary of information about the use of the contract with tax-qualified retirement arrangements, and the 
Tax Code may contain other restrictions and conditions that are not included in this summary. You should 
consult with a qualified tax adviser for advice about the effect of federal income tax laws, state tax laws or 
any other tax laws affecting the contract or any transactions involving the contract. 
 
Types of Contracts: Nonqualified     
 
The contracts described in this prospectus may be purchased on a non-tax qualified basis (“nonqualified contracts”) 
or purchased on a tax-qualified basis (“qualified contracts”).   
 
Nonqualified Contracts. Nonqualified contracts are not related to retirement plans that receive special income tax 
treatment under the Tax Code. Rather, they are purchased with after- tax contributions and are purchased to save 
money for retirement in exchange for with the right to receive annuity payments for either a specified period of time 
or over the a lifetime of an individual     
 
Taxation of Nonqualified Contracts     
 
Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution.     
 
General. Tax Code section 72 governs the general federal income taxation of annuity contracts in general. We 
believe that if the contract owner is you are a natural person (in other words, an individual), the contract owner you 
will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of his or her nonqualified contract until a distribution occurs or 
until income phase annuity payments begin. This assumes that the contract will qualify as an annuity contract for 
federal income tax purposes. For these purposes, the agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract’s 
account contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to defer federal income 
receive deferral of taxation on increases in the account value, each of, the following requirements must be satisfied. 
·  Diversification. Tax Code section 817(h) requires that in a nonqualified contract the investments of the funds 
  be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations in order for the contract to qualify as an 
  annuity contract under federal tax law. The separate account, through the funds, intends to comply with the 
  diversification requirements prescribed by Tax Code section 817(h) and by the Treasury in Reg. Sec. 1.817-5, 
  which affects how the funds’ assets may be invested. If it is determined, however, that your contract does not 
  satisfy the applicable diversification requirements and rulings because a subaccount’s corresponding fund fails 
  to be adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate steps to bring your contract into 
  compliance with such regulations and rulings, and we reserve the right to modify your contract as necessary to 
  do so;     
 
 
PRO.75998-11  32   

 



·  Investor Control. Although earnings under nonqualified contracts are generally are not taxed until withdrawn, 
  the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be 
  considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of investment control 
  over such assets In these circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be currently 
  includible in the variable contract owner’s gross income. Future guidance regarding the extent to which 
  contract owners could direct their investments among subaccounts without being treated as owners of the 
  underlying assets of the separate account may adversely affect the tax treatment of existing contracts, such as 
  the contract described in this prospectus. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the contracts 
  contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the contract holder from being considered the federal tax owner of a 
  pro rata share of the assets of the separate account for federal income tax purposes.; 
·  Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Tax 
  Code requires any nonqualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the 
  contract will be distributed in the event of your death. The nonqualified contracts contain provisions that are 
  intended to comply with these Tax Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements 
  have yet been issued. When such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise, we intend to review 
  such distribution provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable 
  requirements;   
·  Non-Natural Holders of a Nonqualified-Qualified Contract. If the contract owner of If you are not a natural 
  person, a nonqualified contract is not a natural person, the contract generally is not treated as an annuity for 
  federal income tax purposes and any such the income on such contract for the applicable taxable year is 
  currently taxable as ordinary income. Income on the contract during the taxable year is equal to any increase in 
  the account contract value over the “investment in the contract” (generally, the premiums or other consideration 
  you paid for the contract, less any nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions 
  to this rule, and a non-natural person considering an investment in the contract should consult with a qualified 
  its tax adviser prior to purchasing the contract. When the contract owner is not a natural person and the primary 
  annuitant dies, the same rules apply on the death of the primary annuitant as outlined above for the death of a 
  contract owner. When the contract owner is a non-natural person, a change in the annuitant is treated as the 
  death of the contract owner.; and   
·  Delayed Income Phase Annuity Starting Date. If the contract’s income phase annuity starting date occurs (or 
  is scheduled to occur) at a time when the annuitant has reached, or will have reached, an advanced age (e.g., 
  after age 9585), it is possible that the contract could would not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax 
  purposes. In that event, the income and gains under such the contract could be currently includible in your 
  taxable income.   
 
Taxation of Distributions   
 
General. When a withdrawal from a nonqualified contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as ordinary 
income subject to federal income tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced 
by the amount of any early withdrawal surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract 
owner’s investment in the contract at such that time. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of 
all premiums to the contract, plus amounts previously included in your taxable gross income as the result of certain 
loans, assignments or gifts, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. 
 
In the case of a surrender under a nonqualified contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the 
extent it exceeds the contract owner’s investment in the contract (cost basis). 
 
10% Penalty Tax. A distribution from a nonqualified contract may be subject to a federal tax penalty equal to 10% 
of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty on distributions: 
·  Made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;   
·  Made on or after the death of a contract owner (the annuitant if the contract owner is a non-natural person); 
·  Attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled as defined in the Tax Code; 
·  Made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or life 
  expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary; or 
·  The distribution is allocable to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  33 

 



The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions from an immediate annuity as defined in the Tax Code. Other 
exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with 
the exceptions enumerated above. A tax adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax. 
 
Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1035 of the Tax Code permits the exchange of a life insurance, endowment or 
annuity contract for an annuity contract on a tax-free basis. In such instance, the “investment in the contract” in the 
old contract will carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax advisor regarding procedures for 
making section 1035 exchanges.   
 
If your contract is purchased through a tax-free exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract that 
was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any distributions other than annuity payments will be treated, for tax 
purposes, as coming:   
·  First, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made prior to August 14, 1982 and exchanged into the 
  contract;   
·  Next, from any “income on the contract” attributable to the investment made prior to August 14, 1982; 
·  Then, from any remaining “income on the contract;” and 
·  Lastly, from any remaining “investment in the contract.” 
 
The IRS has concluded that in certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract for another 
contract will be tax-free. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of withdrawals, surrenders or annuity payments 
(annuitizations) from either the original contract or the new contract during the 12 month period following the 
partial exchange may retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the 
partial surrender of the original contract will be treated as a withdrawal, taxable as ordinary income to the extent of 
gain in the original contract and, if the partial exchange occurred prior to you reaching age 59½ , may be subject to 
an additional 10% tax penalty. A taxable event may be avoided if requirements identified as a qualifying event are 
satisfied. We are not responsible for the manner in which any other insurance company, for tax reporting purposes, 
or the IRS, with respect to the ultimate tax treatment, recognizes or reports a partial exchange. We strongly advise 
you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange or subsequent distribution within 12 months with your tax advisor prior 
to proceeding with the transaction.   
 
Taxation of Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the payment option elected 
under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is taxed as 
ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that is 
designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected stream 
of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has been 
fully recovered, however, the full amount of each subsequent annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary income. 
 
On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 which included 
language that permits the partial annuitization of non-qualified annuities, effective for amounts received in taxable 
years beginning after December 31, 2010. The provision applies an exclusion ratio to any amount received as an 
annuity under a portion of an annuity provided that the annuity payments are made for a period of 10 years or more 
or for life. Pending the issuance of clarifying guidance, the application of this law change is unclear. Please consult 
your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization. 
 
Death Benefits. Amounts may be distributed from a contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant. 
Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: 
·  If distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the contract, or 
·  If distributed under a payment option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments. 
 
Special rules may apply to amounts distributed after a Beneficiary has elected to maintain contract value and receive 
payments.   
 
Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs: 
·  After you begin receiving annuity payments under the contract; or 
·  Before you begin receiving such distributions.   
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  34 

 



If your death occurs after you begin receiving annuity payments, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as 
under the method in effect at the time of your death.   
 
If your death occurs before you begin receiving annuity payments, your entire balance must be distributed within 
five years after the date of your death. For example, if you died on September 1, 2010, your entire balance must be 
distributed by August 31, 2015. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then payments may 
be made over one of the following timeframes:   
·  Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or   
·  Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary. 
 
If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new 
contract owner. If the contract owner is a non-natural person and the primary annuitant dies, the same rules apply 
on the death of the primary annuitant as outlined above for the death of a contract owner. 
 
The contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the contract value. 
Certain charges are imposed with respect to the death benefit. It is possible that these charges (or some portion 
thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the contract. 
 
Assignments and Other Transfers. A transfer, pledge or assignment of ownership of a nonqualified contract, the 
selection of certain annuity dates, or the designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may result in 
certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. The assignment, pledge or agreement to assign or 
pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. Anyone contemplating any such 
transfer, pledge, assignment, or designation or exchange, should consult a tax adviser regarding the potential tax 
effects of such a transaction.   
 
Immediate Annuities. Under section 72 of the Tax Code, an immediate annuity means an annuity: 
·  Which is purchased with a single premium;   
·  With annuity payments starting within one year from the date of purchase; and 
·  Which provides a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually or more frequently. 
 
While this contract is not designed as an immediate annuity, treatment as an immediate annuity would have 
significance with respect to exceptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty, to contracts owned by non-natural 
persons, and for certain exchanges.   
 
Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by a company 
or its affiliates to the same contract owner during any calendar year be treated as one annuity contract for purposes 
of determining the amount includible in gross income under Tax Code section 72(e). In addition, the Treasury 
Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the avoidance of Tax Code section 72(e) through 
the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise.   
 
Withholding. We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a 
contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any 
amounts withheld. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid taxpayer 
identification number or if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is 
incorrect. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments are the same as the 
withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate applies to the 
taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect to have federal income tax withheld, you 
are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment. 
 
Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the contracts made 
to residents. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state 
withholding. In some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. If you 
need more information concerning a particular state or any required forms, please contact our Customer Contact 
Center.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  35 

 



If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is governed by Tax Code section 
1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status, and we may require additional 
documentation prior to processing any requested transaction. 
 
Same-Sex Marriages. Pursuant to Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same-sex 
marriages currently are not recognized for purposes of federal law. Therefore, the favorable income-deferral options 
afforded by federal tax law to an opposite-sex spouse under Tax Code sections 72(s) and 401(a)(9) are currently 
NOT available to a same-sex spouse. Same-sex spouses who own or are considering the purchase of annuity 
products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse should consult a tax advisor. In some states, to the 
extent that an annuity contract accords to spouses other rights or benefits that are not affected by DOMA, same-sex 
spouses remain entitled to such rights or benefits to the same extent as any contract holder’s spouse. 
 
Possible Changes in Taxation   
 
Although the likelihood of changes in tax legislation, regulation, rulings and other interpretation thereof is uncertain, 
there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the contracts could change by legislation or other means. It is 
also possible that any change could be retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should 
consult a qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the contract. 
 
Taxation of the Company   
 
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. Variable Annuity Account B is not a separate entity 
from us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” but is taxed as part of the 
Company.   
 
We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves 
under the contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will 
not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase reserves under the contracts. In 
addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes 
imposed on the separate account before being used by the Company. 
 
In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the separate account 
and we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their 
interpretation thereof may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the separate account. In this 
case we may impose a charge against the separate account (with respect to some or all of the contracts) to set aside 
provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account, including from your contract 
value invested in the subaccounts.   
 
OTHER TOPICS   
 
Anti-Money Laundering   
 
In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have 
adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current 
anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with 
certain procedures and standards that will allow us to verify the identity of the sponsoring organization and that 
contributions and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources. 
 
Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require customers, and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient 
evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing 
information databases maintained internally or by outside firms. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  36 

 



We may also refuse to accept certain forms of payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, cashier's checks, 
bank drafts, bank checks and treasurer's checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of payments or 
loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, for example). In addition, we may require information as 
to why a particular form of payment was used (third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such 
payment in order to determine whether or not we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result 
in us returning the payment to you.   
 
Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain 
circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate 
regulator. We may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to 
government regulators.   
 
Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable 
laws or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity. 
 
Payment Delay or Suspension   
 
We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or values under any one of the 
following circumstances:   
·  On any valuation date when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except customary weekend and holiday 
  closings) or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted; 
·  When an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of the securities held in the subaccounts is 
  not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to fairly determine the value of the subaccount’s 
  assets; or   
·  During any other periods the SEC may by order permit for the protection of investors. 
 
The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be determined by the rules and 
regulations of the SEC.   
 
Performance Reporting   
 
We may advertise different types of historical performance for the subaccounts including: 
·  Standardized average annual total returns; and   
·  Non-standardized average annual total returns.   
 
We may also advertise certain ratings, rankings or other information related to the Company, the subaccounts or the 
funds.   
 
Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate standardized average annual total returns according to 
a formula prescribed by the SEC. This shows the percentage return applicable to $1,000 invested in the subaccounts 
over the most recent month-end, one, five and ten-year periods. If the investment option was not available for the 
full period, we give a history from the date money was first received in that option under the separate account or 
from the date the fund was first available under the separate account. As an alternative to providing the most recent 
month-end performance, we may provide a phone number, website or both where these returns may be obtained. 
Standardized average annual total returns reflect deduction of all recurring charges during each period (i.e. mortality 
and expense risk charges, annual maintenance fees, administrative expense charges, if any, and any applicable early 
withdrawal charges).   
 
Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate non-standardized average annual total returns in 
a similar manner as that stated above, except we may include returns that do not reflect the deduction of any 
applicable early withdrawal charge. Some non-standardized returns may also exclude the effect of an annual 
maintenance fee. If we reflected these charges in the calculation it would decrease the level of performance reflected 
by the calculation. Non-standardized returns may include performance from the fund’s inception date, if that date is 
earlier than the one we use for standardized returns.   
 
 
 
PRO.75998-11  37 

 



Voting Rights   
 
Each of the subaccounts holds shares in a fund and each is entitled to vote at regular and special meetings of that 
fund. Under our current view of applicable law, we will vote the shares for each subaccount as instructed by persons 
having a voting interest in the subaccount. We will vote shares for which we receive no instructions in the same 
proportion as those for which we receive instructions. You will receive periodic reports relating to the funds in 
which you have an interest as well as any proxy materials and a form on which to give voting instructions. Voting 
instructions will be solicited by a written communication at least 14 days before the meeting. 
 
The number of votes (including fractional votes) you are entitled to direct will be determined as of the record date 
set by any fund you invest in through the subaccounts: 
·  During the accumulation phase the number of votes is equal to the portion of your account value invested in the 
  fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund; and 
·  During the income phase the number of votes is equal to the portion of reserves set aside for the contract’s 
  share of the fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund. 
 
Contract Modification   
 
We may change the contract as required by federal or state law or as otherwise permitted in the contract. Certain 
changes will require the approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities. 
 
Transfer of Ownership: Assignment   
 
We will accept assignments or transfers of ownership where such assignments are not prohibited, with proper 
notification. The date of any such assignment or transfer of ownership will be the date we receive the notification at 
the address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting the Company.” An assignment or transfer of 
ownership may have tax consequences and you should consult with a tax adviser before assigning or transferring 
ownership of the contract.   
 
An assignment of a contract will only be binding on the Company if it is made in writing and sent to us at the 
address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting the Company.” We will use reasonable procedures to 
confirm that the assignment is authentic, including verification of signature. If we fail to follow our own procedures, 
we will be liable for any losses to you directly resulting from such failure. Otherwise, we are not responsible for the 
validity of any assignment. Your rights and the interest of the annuitant and any beneficiary will be subject to the 
rights of any assignee we have on our records.   
 
Legal Matters and Proceedings   
 
We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings which involve the separate account as a party. 
 
The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of 
business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes 
include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover, 
certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it 
is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and 
established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a 
materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position. 
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract (the “distributor”), is a party 
to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of 
these suits may seek class action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or 
punitive damages and other types of relief. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding 
which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the 
contract.

APPENDIX I
FIXED ACCOUNT

 
The Fixed Account is an investment option available during the accumulation phase of the contract. 
 
 
Additional information about this option may be found in the contract.

 
 
Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account are held in the Company’s general account, which supports insurance and 
annuity obligations.   
 
General Disclosure.   
 
·  Interests in the Fixed Account have not been registered with the SEC in reliance on exemptions under the 
  Securities Act of 1933, as amended.   
·  Disclosure in this prospectus regarding the Fixed Account may be subject to certain generally applicable 
  provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of the statements. 
·  The SEC has not reviewed disclosure in this Appendix regarding the Fixed Account. 
 
Interest Rates.   
 
·  The Fixed Account guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the minimum interest rate 
  specified in the contract. We may credit a higher interest rate from time to time, but the rate we credit will never 
  fall below the guaranteed minimum specified in the contract. Amounts applied to the Fixed Account will earn 
  the interest rate in effect at the time money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Account will receive a compound 
  interest rate as credited by us. The rate we quote is an annual effective yield. Among other factors, the safety of 
  the interest rate guarantee depends upon the claims-paying ability of the Company. 
·  Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors, including mortality and expense risks, 
  interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization of any capital 
  gains and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets. Under this option, we assume the risk of investment 
  gain or loss by guaranteeing the amounts you allocate to this option and promising a minimum interest rate and 
  income phase payment.   
 
Withdrawals. Except for contracts issued in the state of New York, withdrawals from the Fixed Account over 
$250,000 (for contracts issued prior to 1988) or $500,000 (for contracts issued after 1988) will be paid pursuant to a 
five year schedule. See your contract for details. Under certain emergency conditions, some contracts allow us to 
defer payment of any withdrawal for period of up to 6 months or as provided by applicable federal or state law. 
 
Charges. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed Account to cover mortality and expense risks. We 
consider these risks when determining the credited rate. 
 
If you make a withdrawal from amounts in the Fixed Account, an early withdrawal charge may apply. See “Fees.” 
 
Transfers. During the accumulation phase, you may transfer account dollars from the Fixed Account to any other 
available investment option once during each calendar year. We may vary the dollar amount that you are allowed to 
transfer, but it will never be less than 10% of your account value held in the Fixed Account. 
 
By notifying us at the address listed in “Contract Overview-Questions: Contacting the Company” at least 30 days 
before income payments begin you may elect to have amounts transferred to one or more of the funds available 
during the income phase to provide variable payments.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
 
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” we, us, our) is a stock life insurance company which 
was organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company 
was known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Through a merger, it succeeded to the business of Aetna 
Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company organized in 
1954). 
 
The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution 
active in the fields of insurance, banking and asset management and is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion 
Connecticut Holdings Inc. The Company is engaged in the business of issuing life insurance policies and annuity 
contracts. Our Home Office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. 
 
The Company serves as the depositor for the separate account. 
 
Other than the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge, if any, described in the 
prospectus, all expenses incurred in the operations of the separate account are borne by the Company. However, the 
Company does receive compensation for certain administrative or distribution costs from the funds or affiliates of the 
funds used as funding options under the contract. (See “Fees” in the prospectus.) 
 
The assets of the separate account are held by the Company. The separate account has no custodian. However, the 
funds in whose shares the assets of the separate account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in their 
respective prospectuses. 
 
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B
 
Variable Annuity Account B is a separate account established by the Company for the purpose of funding variable 
annuity contracts issued by the Company. The separate account is registered with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (SEC) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Payments to 
accounts under the contract may be allocated to one or more of the subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in the 
shares of only one of the funds offered under the contract. We may make additions to, deletions from or 
substitutions of available investment options as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the contract. The 
availability of the funds is subject to applicable regulatory authorization. Not all funds are available in all 
jurisdictions or under all contracts. 
 
A complete description of each of the funds, including their investment objectives, policies, risks and fees and 
expenses, are contained in the prospectuses and statements of additional information for each of the funds.

OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
 
The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor 
Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, 
Connecticut 06095-4774. The contracts are distributed through life insurance agents licensed to sell variable 
annuities who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC or of other registered broker-dealers 
who have entered into sales arrangements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. The offering of the contracts is 
continuous. A description of the manner in which contracts are purchased may be found in the prospectus under the 
sections entitled “Purchase and Rights” and “Your Account Value.” 
 
Compensation paid to the principal underwriter, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, for the years ending December 31, 
2010, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $1,947,487.78, $1,658,134.85, and $2,501,353.46 respectively. These amounts 
reflect compensation paid to ING Financial Advisers, LLC attributable to regulatory and operating expenses 
associated with the distribution of all registered variable annuity products issued by Variable Annuity Account B of 
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. 
 
INCOME PHASE PAYMENTS
 
When you begin receiving payments under the contract during the income phase (see “Income Phase” in the 
prospectus), the value of your account is determined using accumulation unit values as of the tenth valuation before 
the first payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax charge) is applied to provide payments to you 
in accordance with the payment option and investment options elected. 
 
The annuity option tables found in the contract show, for each option, the amount of the first payment for each 
$1,000 of value applied. When you select variable income payments, your account value purchases annuity units of 
the separate account subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. The number of annuity units purchased is 
based on your account value and the value of each unit on the day the annuity units are purchased. Thereafter, 
variable payments fluctuate as the annuity unit value(s) fluctuates with the investment experience of the selected 
investment option(s). The first payment and subsequent payments also vary depending on the assumed net 
investment rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Selection of a 5% rate causes a higher first payment, but 
payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than 5% on an 
annual basis. Payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate causes a 
lower first payment, but subsequent payments would increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur 
in the net investment rate. 
 
When the income phase begins, the annuitant is credited with a fixed number of annuity units (which does not change 
thereafter) in each of the designated investment options. This number is calculated by dividing (a) by (b), where (a) 
is the amount of the first payment based on a particular investment option, and (b) is the then current annuity unit 
value for that investment option. As noted, annuity unit values fluctuate from one valuation period to the next (see 
“Account Value” in the prospectus): such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the appropriate 
subaccount(s) (with a ten day valuation lag which gives the Company time to process payments) and a mathematical 
adjustment which offsets the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% or 5% per annum. 
 
The operation of all these factors can be illustrated by the following hypothetical example. These procedures will be 
performed separately for the investment options selected during the income phase. 
 
EXAMPLE: 
Assume that, at the date payments are to begin, there are 3,000 accumulation units credited under a particular 
contract or account and that the value of an accumulation unit for the tenth valuation period prior to retirement was 
$13.650000. This produces a total value of $40,950. 
 
Assume also that no premium tax charge is payable and that the annuity table in the contract provides, for the 
payment option elected, a first monthly variable payment of $6.68 per $1000 of value applied; the annuitant's first 
monthly payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55. 
 
3

 



Assume then that the value of an annuity unit upon the valuation period in which the first payment was due was 
$13.400000. When this value is divided into the first monthly payment, the number of annuity units is determined to 
be 20.414. The value of this number of annuity units will be paid in each subsequent month. 
 
Suppose there were 30 days between the initial and second payment valuation dates. If the net investment factor with 
respect to the appropriate subaccount is 1.0032737 as of the tenth valuation preceding the due date of the second 
monthly income phase payment, multiplying this factor by .9971779* = .9999058^30 (to take into account 30 days 
of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum built into the number of Annuity Units determined above) 
produces a result of 1.000442. This is then multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the prior valuation ($13.400000 
from above) to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.405928 for the valuation occurring when the second income 
phase payment is due. 
 
The second monthly income phase payment is then determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the 
current Annuity Unit value, or 20.414 times $13.405928, which produces a payment of $273.67. 
 
*If an assumed net investment rate of 5% is elected, the appropriate factor to take into account such assumed rate 
would be .9959968 = .9998663^30. 
 
SALES MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING
 
We may include hypothetical illustrations in our sales literature that explain the mathematical principles of dollar 
cost averaging, compounded interest, tax deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity contracts. 
We may also discuss the difference between variable annuity contracts and other types of savings or investment 
products such as, personal savings accounts and certificates of deposit. 
 
We may distribute sales literature that compares the percentage change in accumulation unit values for any of the 
subaccounts to established market indices such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones 
Industrial Average or to the percentage change in values of other management investment companies that have 
investment objectives similar to the subaccount being compared. 
 
We may publish in advertisements and reports, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more 
independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Duff & Phelps, Standard & Poor’s Corporation and 
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength and/or claims-paying 
ability. We may also quote ranking services such as Morningstar’s Variable Annuity/Life Performance Report and 
Lipper’s Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service (VIPPAS), which rank variable annuity or life 
subaccounts or their underlying funds by performance and/or investment objective. We may categorize funds in 
terms of the asset classes they represent and use such categories in marketing material for the contracts. We may 
illustrate in advertisements the performance of the underlying funds, if accompanied by performance which also 
shows the performance of such funds reduced by applicable charges under the separate account. We may also show 
in advertisements the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds, updated at various intervals. From time to time, we 
will quote articles from newspapers and magazines or other publications or reports such as, The Wall Street Journal, 
Money magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report. 
 
We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials information on various 
topics of interest to current and prospective contract holders. These topics may include the relationship between 
sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets, investment strategies 
and techniques (such as value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation, constant ratio transfer 
and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-deferred and taxable investments, 
customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement 
planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other financial instruments, including comparison 
between the contracts and the characteristics of and market for such financial instruments.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the transfer agents or custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company at December 31, 2010, the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Account”) was established by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC” or the “Company”) to support the operations of variable annuity contracts (“Contracts”). The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. ING AIH is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission (“EC”), ING has agreed to separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its insurance and investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for implementing the separation including one or more initial public offerings (“IPOs”), sales or a combination thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that while the option of one global IPO remains open, ING and its U.S. insurance affiliates, including the Company, are going to prepare for a base case of two IPOs: one Europe-led IPO and one separate U.S. focused IPO.

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Account is exclusively for use with Contracts that may be entitled to tax-deferred treatment under specific sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. ILIAC provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed separate account, which is not part of the Account, as directed by the contractowners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business ILIAC may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of ILIAC. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of ILIAC.

At December 31, 2010, the Account had 137 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 34 of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 103 of which invest in mutual funds managed by affiliates, either Directed Services LLC (“DSL”), or ING Investments, LLC (“IIL”). The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (the “Trusts”). Investment Divisions with asset balances at December 31, 2010 and related Trusts are as follows:

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 reported results using those
    estimates.  
 
 
    Investments  
 
 
    Investments are made in shares of a Division and are recorded at fair value, determined
    by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. 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 market value of investments
    owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation
    of investments.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of ILIAC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of ILIAC.

Contractowner Reserves

The annuity 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 contractowners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the contractowners exceed their account values, ILIAC will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to ILIAC. Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from Principal Transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are items which relate to contractowner activity, including deposits, surrenders and withdrawals, benefits, and contract charges. Also included are transfers between the fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from) ILIAC related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full responsibility for which is assumed by ILIAC). Any net unsettled transactions as of the reporting date are included in Due to related parties on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date the financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, were issued.

3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” (“ASU 2010-06”), which requires several new disclosures, as well as clarification to existing disclosures, as follows:

§     

Significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reason for the transfers;

§     

Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlement, in the Level 3 fair value measurements reconciliation on a gross basis;

§     

Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (i.e., disaggregated); and

§     

Valuation techniques and inputs for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

The provisions of ASU 2010-06 were adopted by the Account on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Account determined, however, that there was no effect on the Account’s disclosures, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Account under FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Account’s net assets and results of operations.

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events, included in ASC

Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes:

§     

The period after the balance sheet date during which an entity should evaluate events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;

§     

The circumstances under which an entity should recognize such events or transactions in its financial statements; and

§     

Disclosures regarding such events or transactions and the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 855, were adopted by the Account on June 30, 2009. In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure

104


 

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

Requirements,” which clarifies that an SEC filer should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and eliminates the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose that date, effective upon issuance. The Account determined that there was no effect on the Account’s net assets and results of operations upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Account under US auditing standards. The disclosure provisions included in ASC Topic 855, as amended, are presented in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly, included in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which confirms that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In addition, this guidance, as included in ASC Topic 820:

§     

Clarifies factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability;

§     

Requires an entity to determine whether a transaction is not orderly based on the weight of the evidence; and

§     

Requires an entity to disclose in interim and annual periods the input and valuation technique used to measure fair value and any change in valuation technique.

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 820, were adopted by the Account on April 1, 2009. The Account determined, however, that there was no effect on the Account’s net assets and results of operations upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Account under US GAAP.

4. 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 custodian 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 financial assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. The Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2010.

105


 

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

The ASC Topic 820 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.

§

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.

5. Charges and Fees

Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover ILIAC’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

ILIAC assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account. Daily charges are deducted at annual rates of up to 1.50% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in the Contracts.

Asset Based Administrative Charges

A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the assets attributable to the Contracts.

106


 

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

Contract Maintenance Charges

An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $40 may be deducted from the accumulation value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the Contract.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

For certain Contracts, a contingent deferred sales charge (“Surrender Charge”) is imposed as a percentage that ranges up to 7.00% of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken, as specified in the Contract.

Premium Taxes

For certain Contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where applicable, from the accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing of the deduction depends on the contractowner’s state of residence and currently ranges up to 4.00% of premiums.

Other Contract Charges

Under the Fixed/Variable Single Premium Immediate Annuity contract, an additional annual charge of 1.00% is deducted daily from the accumulation values for contractowners who select the Guaranteed Minimum Income feature. For Deferred Variable Annuity contracts, an additional annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted daily from the accumulation value for amounts invested in the ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio Funds. In addition, an annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted daily from the accumulation values for contractowners who select the Premium Bonus Option feature.

Fees Waived by ILIAC

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts are currently waived by ILIAC. ILIAC reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes in the law.

6. Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2010, management fees were paid indirectly to IIL, an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment adviser to the ING Balanced Portfolio, Inc., ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio, ING Money Market Portfolio, ING Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., ING Variable Funds, ING Variable Insurance Trust, ING Variable Portfolios, Inc., and ING Variable Products Trust. The annual fee rate ranged from 0.08% to 0.95% of the average net assets of each respective Fund.

Management fees were also paid indirectly to DSL, an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment manager to ING Investors Trust and ING Partners, Inc. The Trusts’ advisory agreement provided for fees at annual rates ranging up to 1.25% of the average net assets of each respective Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2009 the Company changed its method of accounting for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments.

Basis of Presentation

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut. ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are providers of financial products and services in the United States.  ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and the District of Columbia.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”).  ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is a global financial services holding company based in the Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

 

As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission (“EC”), ING has agreed to separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its insurance and investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for implementing the separation including one or more initial public offerings, sales, or a combination thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that while the option of one global initial public offering (“IPO”) remains open, ING and its U.S. insurance affiliates, including the Company, are going to prepare for a base case of two IPOs: one Europe-led IPO and one separate U.S.-focused IPO.

 

Description of Business

 

The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company’s products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, and education markets (collectively “not-for-profit” organizations) and corporate markets. The Company’s products are generally distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

 

Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (payout annuities) annuity contracts.  Company products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the

The Company has one operating segment.

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20, “Receivables (Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”), which requires certain existing disclosures to be disaggregated by class of financing receivable, including the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of impairment method.  For each disaggregated ending balance, an entity is required to also disclose the related recorded investment in financing receivables, the nonaccrual status of financing receivables, and impaired financing receivables.

 

ASU 2010-20 also requires new disclosures by class of financing receivable, including credit quality indicators, aging of past due amounts, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and related defaults, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables disaggregated by portfolio segment.

 

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, which temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-20 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2010, and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the Reinsurance section below, except for the disclosures that include information for activity that occurs during a reporting period, which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings.  As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives

 

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” (“ASU 2010-11”), which clarifies that the only type of embedded credit derivatives that are exempt from

bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-11 were adopted by the Company on July 1, 2010.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under ASC Topic 815.

 

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” (“ASU 2010-06”), which requires several new disclosures, as well as clarification to existing disclosures, as follows:

 

§                             Significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reason for the transfers;

§       Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlement, in the Level 3 fair value measurements reconciliation on a gross basis;

§       Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (i.e., disaggregated); and

§       Valuation techniques and inputs for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-06 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010, and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to the consolidated financial statements, except for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02 “Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification,” (“ASU 2010-02”), which clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions applies to the following:

 

C-12



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

§                             A subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity;

§                             A subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and

§                       An exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture).

 

ASU 2010-02 also notes that the decrease in ownership guidance does not apply to sales of in substance real estate and expands disclosure requirements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-02 were adopted, retrospectively, by the Company on January 1, 2010.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, or 2008, as there were no decreases in ownership of a subsidiary during those periods.

 

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved in Variable Interest Entities

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved in Variable Interest Entities,” (“ASU 2009-17”), which eliminates the exemption for qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”), as well as amends the consolidation guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as follows:

 

§                          Removes the quantitative-based assessment for consolidation of VIEs and, instead, requires a qualitative assessment of whether an entity has the power to direct the VIE’s activities, and whether the entity has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to reserve benefits that could be significant to the VIE; and

§                             Requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

 

In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, “Consolidation (ASC Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds” (ASU 2010-10), which primarily defers to ASU 2009-17 for an investment in an entity that is accounted for as an investment company.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10 were adopted on January 1, 2010. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the consolidation conclusions were consistent with those under previous accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-17 are presented in the Financial Instruments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16 “Transfers and Servicing (ASC Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU 2009-16”), which eliminates the QSPE concept and requires a transferor of financial assets to:

 

§                             Consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in assets, limiting the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire asset to an entity that is not consolidated;

§                             Account for the transfer as a sale only if an entity transfers an entire financial asset and surrenders control, unless the transfer meets the conditions for a participating interest; and

§                             Recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-16 were adopted on January 1, 2010. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the Company did not have any QSPEs under previous US GAAP, and the requirements for sale accounting treatment are consistent with those previously applied by the Company under US GAAP.

 

Measuring the Fair Value of Certain Alternative Investments

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)” (“ASU 2009-12”), which allows the use of net asset value to estimate the fair value of certain alternative investments, such as interests in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, venture capital funds, offshore fund vehicles, and funds of funds.  In addition, ASU 2009-12 requires disclosures about the attributes of such investments.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-12 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2009.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under US GAAP.  The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-12 are presented in the Investments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events, included in ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes:

 

C-14



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

§

The period after the balance sheet date during which an entity should evaluate events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;

§

The circumstances under which an entity should recognize such events or transactions in its financial statements; and

§

Disclosures regarding such events or transactions and the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 855, were adopted by the Company on June 30, 2009.  In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which clarifies that a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and eliminates the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose that date, effective upon issuance. The Company determined that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under U.S. auditing standards. The disclosure provisions included in ASC Topic 855, as amended, are presented in the Organization and Significant Accounting Policies footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, included in ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities,” which requires:

 

§

Noncredit related impairments to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), if management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell the security and that it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis;

§

Total other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) to be presented in the Statement of Operations with an offset recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the noncredit related impairments;

§

A cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from Retained earnings (deficit) to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and

§

Additional interim disclosures for debt and equity securities regarding types of securities held, unrealized losses, and other-than-temporary impairments.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 320, were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009.  As a result of implementation, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $151.7 after considering the effects of

 

C-15

deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and income taxes of $(134.0) and $46.9, respectively, as an increase to April 1, 2009 Retained earnings (deficit) with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

In addition, the Company recognized an increase in amortized cost for previously impaired securities due to the recognition of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of April 1, 2009, as follows:

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, included in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments, and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, including:

 

§

How and why derivative instruments are used;

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under US GAAP for derivative and hedging activities; and

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial statements.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 815, were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009 and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.  As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

 

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, “Financial Services - Insurance (ASC Topic 944): Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts” (“ASU 2010-26”), which clarifies what costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral.  Costs that should be capitalized include (1) incremental direct costs of successful contract acquisition and (2) certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities (underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspection, and sales force contract selling) performed by the insurer for the contract. Advertising costs should be included in deferred acquisition costs only if the capitalization criteria in the US GAAP direct-response advertising guidance are met.  All other acquisition-related costs should be charged to expense as incurred.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-26 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted, and early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an entity’s annual reporting period.  The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-26.

 

Consolidation Analysis of Investments Held through Separate Accounts

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-15, “Financial Services - Insurance (ASC Topic 944): How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments” (“ASU 2010-15”), which clarifies that an insurance entity generally should not consider any separate account interests held for the benefit of policy holders in an investment to be the insurer’s interests, and should not combine those interests with its general account interest in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-15 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods as of the date of adoption.  The Company does not expect any effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under ASC Topic 944.

 

Accounting Policy Change

 

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company concluded that it should change its accounting for realized capital gains (losses) and unrealized capital gains (losses) on investments supporting experience-rated products.  The impact of this change in accounting policy on the Company’s financial statements is immaterial to all periods presented.  Therefore, this correction is reflected in the fourth quarter of 2010 (the period

 

C-17

in which the change was made).  Certain reclassifications, which increased (decreased) Realized gains (losses) and Interest credited and other benefits by $11.3 and $614.4 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were made in connection with this change, and had no impact on net income.  This change in accounting policy has no impact on individual customer account values and no impact on credited rates for experience-rated products.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, certain money market instruments, and other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

 

Investments

 

All of the Company’s fixed maturities, except those accounted for using the fair value option, and equity securities are currently designated as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Shareholder’s equity, after adjustment, if any, for related changes in DAC, value of business acquired (“VOBA”), and deferred income taxes.  Fixed maturities accounted for using the fair value option are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations.

 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

 

The Company analyzes its general account investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and changes in ratings of the security.

 

C-18



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

When assessing the Company’s intent to sell a security or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management evaluates facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio and sales of investments to meet cash flow needs.

 

When the Company has determined it has the intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value has declined below amortized cost (“intent impairment”) the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value and a corresponding charge is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an OTTI.  If the Company does not intend to sell the security nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis, the OTTI is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease in cash flows expected 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) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

In order to determine the amount of the OTTI that is considered a credit impairment, the Company utilizes the following methodology and significant inputs:

 

§

Recovery value is estimated by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the best estimate of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the underlying debt security. The effective interest rate is the current yield prior to impairment for a fixed rate security or current coupon yield for a floating rate security.

§

Collectability and recoverability are estimated using the same considerations as the Company uses in its overall impairment analysis which includes, but is not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and changes in ratings of the security.

§

Additional factors considered for structured securities such as RMBS, CMBS and other ABS include, but are not limited to, quality of underlying collateral, anticipated loss severities, collateral default rates, and other collateral characteristics such as vintage, repayment terms, and the geographical makeup of the collateral.

Purchases and Sales

 

Purchases and sales of fixed maturities and equity securities, excluding private placements, are recorded on the trade date. Purchases and sales of private placements and mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

 

Valuation of Investments and Derivatives

 

The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820.  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 monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

 

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values.  There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values during 2010, except for the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO-Bs”) which commenced in the first quarter of 2010. CMO-Bs were previously valued using an average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The Company has categorized 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.

 

C-20



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Consolidated 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 reported values for the investments and derivatives described below:

 

Fixed maturities: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets.  Assets in this category would primarily include certain US Treasury securities.  The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market, excluding subprime residential mortgage-backed securities, are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which provide the estimated fair values, and are classified as Level 2 assets.  These services 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.  This category includes US and foreign corporate bonds, Asset-backed Securities (“ABS”), US agency and government guaranteed securities, Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities (“CMBS”), and Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”), including CMO-Bs.

 

Generally, the Company does not obtain more than one vendor price from pricing services per instrument. The Company uses a hierarchy process in which prices are obtained from a primary vendor, and, if that vendor is unable to provide the price, the next vendor in the hierarchy is contacted until a price is obtained or it is determined that a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service. 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.

Broker quotes and prices obtained from pricing services are reviewed and validated monthly through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes. At December 31, 2010, $73.3 and $13.2 billion of a total of $17.4 billion in fixed maturities were valued using unadjusted broker quotes and unadjusted prices obtained from pricing services, respectively, and verified through the review process. The remaining balance in fixed maturities consisted primarily of privately placed bonds valued using matrix-based pricing model.

 

All prices and broker quotes obtained go through the review process described above including valuations for which only one broker quote is obtained.  After review, for those instruments where the price is determined to be appropriate, the unadjusted price provided is used for financial statement valuation. If it is determined that the price is questionable, another price may be requested from a different vendor. The internal valuation committee then reviews all prices for the instrument again, along with information from the review, to determine which price best represents “exit price” for the instrument.

 

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets.  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.

 

Trading activity for the Company’s RMBS, particularly subprime and Alt-A RMBS, declined during 2008 as a result of the dislocation of the credit markets.  The Company continued to obtain pricing information from commercial pricing services and brokers. However, the pricing for subprime and Alt-A RMBS did not represent regularly occurring market transactions since the trading activity declined significantly in the second half of 2008.  As a result, the Company concluded in the second half of 2008 that the market for subprime and Alt-A RMBS was inactive and classified these securities as Level 3 assets. The Company did not change its valuation procedures, which are consistent with those used for Level 2 marketable bonds without an active market, as a result of determining that the market was inactive. Due to increased trade activity of Alt-A RMBS during the second half of 2009, the Company determined that the Alt-A RMBS should be transferred to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as its overall assessment of the market was that it was active. The market for subprime RMBS remains largely inactive, and as such these securities will remain in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company will continue to monitor market activity for RMBS to determine proper classification in the valuation hierarchy.

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by sources such as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments, and Short-term investments under securities loan agreement: The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values.  The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1. Other short-term investments are valued and classified in the fair value hierarchy consistent with the policies described herein, depending on investment type.

 

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities.  Derivatives are carried at fair value (on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London Inter Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), or through values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure.  It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. The Company’s own credit risk is also considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process. Valuations for the Company’s futures contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices from an active exchange and, therefore, are classified as Level 1. The Company also has certain credit default swaps that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3. However, all other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

 

Product guarantees: The Company records product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with ASC 815.  The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value.  The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach as described in ASC 820.  The income associated with the contracts is projected using actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts.  The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions.  These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities or assets. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks as required by US GAAP.  Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment.  The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair values of these product guarantees.  As of December 31, 2010, the overall value of the derivative liability decreased.  This decrease was mainly due to an increase in interest rate levels, and also benefited from the change in credit spread of ING in relation to prior periods which decreased the derivative liability.

 

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.

 

The following investments are reported at values other than fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and therefore are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Mortgage loans on real estate: Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs and allowance for losses. 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 either the lower of the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, 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).

 

Policy loans: The reported value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans. Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The reported value of the State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”) loan obligation is based on the outstanding loan balance plus any unamortized premium.

 

Limited partnerships/corporations: The carrying value for these investments, primarily private equities and hedge funds, is determined based on the Company’s degree of influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies along with the percent of the investee that the Company owns. Those investments where the Company has determined it has significant influence are accounted for under the equity method, with the remainder accounted for under the cost method.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of

 

C-24

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

timing and amounts of future cash flows.  Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized capital gains (losses).  In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements with mortgage-backed securities (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase agreements with other collateral types to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Such arrangements typically meet the requirements to be accounted for as financing arrangements. The Company enters into dollar roll transactions by selling existing mortgage-backed securities and concurrently entering into an agreement to repurchase similar securities within a short time frame in the future at a lower price. Under repurchase agreements, the Company borrows cash from a counterparty at an agreed upon interest rate for an agreed upon time frame and pledges collateral in the form of securities. At the end of the agreement, the counterparty returns the collateral to the Company and the Company, in turn, repays the loan amount along with the additional agreed upon interest. Company policy requires that at all times during the term of the dollar roll and repurchase agreements that cash or other collateral types obtained is sufficient to allow the Company to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. Cash collateral received is invested in short-term investments, with the offsetting collateral liability included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions was $216.7. At December 31, 2009, there were no securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions.  The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, totaled $214.7 and $0.1, respectively at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition to the purchase obligation at December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any collateral posted by the counterparty in connection with the increase in the value of pledged securities that will be released upon settlement.

 

The Company also enters into reverse repurchase agreements.  These transactions involve a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same securities as those purchased.  Company policy requires that, at all times during the term of the reverse repurchase agreements, cash or other collateral types provided is sufficient to allow the counterparty to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements.

 

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract.  The Company’s

 

C-25

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was immaterial at December 31, 2010.  The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

 

Securities Lending

 

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time.  Initial collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned domestic securities.  The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income.  The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of loaned securities was $651.7 and $339.5, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Derivatives

 

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to 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 interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency contracts, including swaps, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow, or exchange rates of assets or liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure associated with a referenced asset, index, or pool.  The Company also utilizes options and futures on equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity products.  Open derivative contracts are reported as either Derivatives or Other liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

If the Company’s current debt and claims paying ratings were downgraded in the future, the terms in the Company’s derivative agreements may be triggered, which could negatively impact overall liquidity.  For the majority of the Company’s counterparties, there is a termination event should the Company’s long-term debt ratings drop below BBB+/Baa1.

 

The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain products with guarantees, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic

 

C-26

and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives within retail annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value are recorded in Interest credited and benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

DAC and VOBA

 

General

 

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization.  Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.

 

VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization.  The value is based on the present value of estimated profits embedded in the Company’s contracts.

 

US GAAP guidance for universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities, indicates DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins, plus surrender charges.

 

Internal Replacements

 

Contract owners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make modifications to an existing contract.  Beginning January 1, 2007, these transactions are identified as internal replacements and are accounted for in accordance with US GAAP guidance for DAC related to modification or exchange of insurance contracts.

 

Internal replacements that are determined to result in substantially unchanged contracts are accounted for as continuations of the replaced contracts.  Any costs associated with the issuance of the new contracts are considered maintenance costs and expensed as incurred. Unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts continue to be deferred and amortized in connection with the new contracts.  Internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Net amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Unlocking

 

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances and amortization rates.  Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of future gross profits associated with variable deferred annuity products.  One of the most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of future gross profits is the assumed return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in the equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and long-term assumptions regarding market performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. Other significant assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread, and estimated mortality.

 

Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs quarterly and annual analyses of DAC and VOBA. The DAC and VOBA balances are evaluated for recoverability.

 

At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated future gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued reasonableness.  Any adjustment in estimated future gross profits requires that the amortization rate be revised (“unlocking”), retroactively to the date of the policy or contract issuance. The cumulative unlocking adjustment is recognized as a component of current period amortization. In general, sustained increases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, lower the rate of amortization. Sustained decreases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, however, increase the rate of amortization.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.

 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, total accumulated depreciation and amortization was $102.6 and $99.5, respectively. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets with the exception of land and artwork, which are not depreciated or amortized. The Company’s property and equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives.

Reserves

 

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

 

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

 

Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and individual immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest. Credited interest rates vary by product and range from 0% to 7.8% for the years 2010, 2009, and 2008.  Reserves for group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

 

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses, including a margin for adverse deviations.  Such assumptions generally vary by annuity type plan, year of issue, and policy duration.  For the years 2010, 2009, and 2008, reserve interest rates ranged from 4.5% to 6.0%.

 

The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates.  The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is reported at fair value in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP guidance for insurance companies, derivatives, and fair value measurements.  The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach.  The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions.  Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks beginning January 1, 2008 with the adoption of new US GAAP guidance on fair value measurements. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contain adjustment to the fair value of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the Company based

on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment.  The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair value of these product guarantees.

 

Unpaid claims and claim expenses for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

 

Certain variable annuities offer guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”). The GMDB is accrued in the event the contract owner account value at death is below the guaranteed value and is included in reserves.

 

The Company’s domestic individual life insurance business was disposed of on October 1, 1998 pursuant to an indemnity reinsurance agreement. The Company includes an amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals the Company’s total individual life reserves. Individual life reserves are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For most annuity contracts, charges assessed against contract owner funds for the cost of insurance, surrenders, expenses, and other fees are recorded as revenue as charges are assessed.  Other amounts received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not recorded as premiums or revenue.  When annuity payments with life contingencies begin under contracts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected in both Premiums and Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts received for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contract owners who bear the investment risk, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guarantees.  Investment income and investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to such contract owners.  The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company or its affiliates.

 

Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are invested, as designated by the contract owner or participant (who bears the investment risk subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) under a contract, in shares of

 

C-30



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

mutual funds that are managed by the Company or its affiliates, or in other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company or its affiliates.

 

The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in the separate accounts and liabilities of separate accounts if:

 

§

such separate accounts are legally recognized;

§

assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company’s general account liabilities;

§

investments are directed by the contractholder; and

§

all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder.

 

The Company reports separate account assets and liabilities that meet the above criteria at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying investments.  Investment income and net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) of the separate accounts, however, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the separate accounts.

 

Reinsurance

 

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to losses from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary liability as the direct insurer of the risks. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial strength and credit ratings of its reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the disposition of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered into an indemnity reinsurance agreement with a subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation (“Lincoln”).  The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure it obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.  Of the Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is related to the reinsurance recoverable from the subsidiary of Lincoln under this reinsurance agreement.

 

Income Taxes

 

ILIAC files a consolidated federal income tax return with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an affiliate, and certain other subsidiaries of ING AIH. ILIAC is party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the group whereby ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each

The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies and the Dutch State loan obligation, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company’s Shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, fixed maturities with fair values of $13.4 and $12.9, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

 

The Company invests in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults.  The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 36.5% and 29.4%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings were invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs, such as interest-only or principal-only strips.

 

Transfer of Alt-A RMBS Participation Interest

 

On January 26, 2009, ING  announced it reached an agreement, for itself and on behalf of certain ING affiliates including the Company, with the Dutch State on an Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility (the “Back-Up Facility”) covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities (“Alt-A RMBS”).  Under the terms of the Back-Up Facility, a full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State was realized on 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance US with a book value of $36.0 billion, including book value of $802.5 of the Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company (with respect to the Company’s portfolio, the “Designated Securities Portfolio”) (the “ING-Dutch State Transaction”).  As a result of the risk transfer, the

Dutch State will participate in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio.  The risk transfer to the Dutch State took place at a discount of approximately 10% of par value.  In addition, under the Back-Up Facility, other fees were paid both by the Company and the Dutch State.  Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State Transaction, including the Company remains the legal owner of 100% of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio and will remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio.  The ING-Dutch State Transaction closed March 31, 2009, with the affiliate participation conveyance and risk transfer to the Dutch State described in the succeeding paragraph taking effect as of January 26, 2009.

 

In order to implement that portion of the ING-Dutch State Transaction related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, the Company entered into a participation agreement with its affiliates, ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING Support Holding”) and ING pursuant to which the Company conveyed to ING Support Holding an 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio and will pay a periodic transaction fee, and received, as consideration for the participation, an assignment by ING Support Holding of its right to receive payments from the Dutch State under the Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio among, ING, ING Support Holding and the Dutch State (the “Company Back-Up Facility”).  Under the Company Back-Up Facility, the Dutch State is obligated to pay certain periodic fees and make certain periodic payments with respect to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, and ING Support Holding is obligated to pay a periodic guarantee fee and make periodic payments to the Dutch State equal to the distributions it receives with respect to the 80% participation interest in the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio.  The Dutch State payment obligation to the Company under the Company Back-Up Facility is accounted for as a loan receivable for US GAAP and is reported in Loan - Dutch State obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Upon the closing of the transaction on March 31, 2009, the Company recognized a gain of $206.2, which was reported in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

In a second transaction, known as the Step 1 Cash Transfer, a portion of the Company’s Alt-A RMBS which had a book value of $4.2 was sold for cash to an affiliate, Lion II Custom Investments LLC (“Lion II”).  Immediately thereafter, Lion II sold to ING Direct Bancorp the purchased securities (the “Step 2 Cash Transfer”). Contemporaneous with the Step 2 Cash Transfer, ING Direct Bancorp included such purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State.  The Step 1 Cash Transfer closed on March 31, 2009, and the Company recognized a gain of $0.3 contemporaneous with the closing of the ING-Dutch State Transaction, which was reported in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

As part of the final restructuring plan submitted to the European Commission (“EC”) in connection with its review of the Dutch state aid to ING (the “Restructuring Plan”), ING

has agreed to make additional payments to the Dutch State corresponding to an adjustment of fees for the Back-Up Facility. Under this new agreement, the terms of the ING-Dutch State Transaction which closed on March 31, 2009, including the transfer price of the Alt-A RMBS securities, will remain unaltered and the additional payments will not be borne by the Company or any other ING U.S. subsidiaries.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company holds certain VIEs for investment purposes.  VIEs may be in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, or limited partnerships. The Company has reviewed each of its holdings and determined that consolidation of these investments in the Company’s financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary, because the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation or right to potentially significant losses or benefits, for any of its investments in VIEs. Rather, the VIEs are accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting. The Company provided no non-contractual financial support and its carrying value represents the Company’s exposure to loss. The carrying value of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) of $0.6 and $0.1 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is included in Limited partnerships/corporations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and losses recognized on these investments are reported in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities decreased by $433.4. Lower unrealized losses are due to declining yields and the overall tightening of credit spreads since the end of 2009, leading to the increased value of fixed maturities.

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company held 1 fixed maturity with an unrealized capital loss in excess of $10.0.  The unrealized capital loss on this fixed maturity equaled $10.0, or 4.3% of the total unrealized capital losses, as of December 31, 2010.  At December 31, 2009, the Company held 8 fixed maturities with unrealized capital losses in excess of $10.0.  The unrealized capital losses on these fixed maturities equaled $118.2, or 17.7% of the total unrealized capital losses, as of December 31, 2009.

 

All investments with fair values less than amortized cost are included in the Company’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis, and impairments were recognized as disclosed in “Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which follows this section. After detailed impairment analysis was completed, management determined that the remaining investments in an unrealized loss position were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore no further other-than-temporary impairment was necessary.

Transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2

 

Certain U.S. Treasury securities valued by commercial pricing services where prices are derived using market observable inputs have been transferred from Level 1 to Level 2.  These securities for the year ended December 31, 2010, include U.S. Treasury strips of $60.6 in which prices are modeled incorporating 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. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

As described below, certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, further disclosure of estimated fair values is included in this Financial Instruments footnote. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition in many circumstances. However, in certain cases, the transaction price may not represent fair value. The fair value of a liability is based on the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a third-party with an equal credit standing. Fair value is required to be a market-based measurement which is determined based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, from a market participant’s perspective. The Company considers three broad valuation techniques when a quoted price is unavailable: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given the instrument being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs. The Company prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation techniques and allows for the use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 

The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820. 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 monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

 

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values during 2010, except for the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value CMO-Bs which commenced in the first quarter of 2010. CMO-Bs were previously valued using an average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

Level 3 Financial Instruments

 

The fair values of certain assets and liabilities are determined using prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3 as defined by ASC 820), including but not limited to liquidity spreads for investments within markets deemed not currently active. 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. In addition, the Company has determined, for certain financial instruments, an active market is such a significant input to determine fair value that the presence of an inactive market may lead to classification in Level 3. In light of the methodologies employed to obtain the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below, with particular attention addressed to the reserves for product guarantees due to the impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The transfers out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2010 in fixed maturities, including securities pledged, are primarily due to the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value CMO-Bs. These services 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 and have been classified as Level 2. The CMO-Bs had previously been valued by using the average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

The remaining transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities, equity securities and separate accounts during the year ended December 31, 2010 are due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3, as these securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

 

The carrying values and estimated fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825 which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 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, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments which are not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and therefore not categorized in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Limited partnerships/corporations: The fair value for these investments, primarily private equities and hedge funds, is estimated based on the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as provided by the investee.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated 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.

 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The fair value of the Dutch State loan obligation is estimated utilizing discounted cash flows from the Dutch Strip Yield Curve.

 

Policy loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans.  Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Investment contract liabilities (included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves):

 

With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows, including associated expenses for maintaining the contracts, at rates, which are market risk-free rates augmented by credit spreads on current Company credit default swaps. The augmentation is present to account for non-performance risk. A margin for nonfinancial risks associated with the contracts is also included.

 

Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the mean present value of stochastically modeled cash flows associated with the contract liabilities relevant to both the contractholder and to the Company. Here, the stochastic valuation scenario set is consistent with current market parameters, and discount is taken using stochastically evolving short risk-free rates in the scenarios augmented by credit spreads on current Company debt. The augmentation in the discount is present to account for non-performance risk. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included.

Notes receivable from affiliates: Estimated fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from affiliates is based upon discounted future cash flows using a discount rate approximating the current market rate.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of timing and amounts of future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized capital gains (losses). In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. In evaluating the Company’s management of interest rate, price, and liquidity risks, the fair values of all assets and liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those presented above.

As of December 31, 2010, all commercial mortgage loans are held-for-investment.  The Company diversifies its commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce 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.  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. Loan performance is continuously monitored on a loan-specific basis through the review of borrower submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items.  This review ensures properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt.

The Company believes it has a high quality mortgage loan portfolio with 100% of commercial mortgages classified as performing.  The Company defines delinquent commercial mortgage loans consistent with industry practice as 60 days past due.  As of December 31, 2010, there were no commercial loans classified as delinquent.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest income until a loan becomes 90 days delinquent or foreclosure proceedings are commenced, at which point interest accrual is discontinued. Interest accrual is not resumed until past due payments are brought current. At December 31, 2010, there were no commercial mortgage loans on nonaccrual status.

All commercial mortgages are rated for the purpose of quantifying the level of risk.  Those loans with higher risk are placed on a watch list and are closely monitored for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal or interest.  If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect on all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral.

 

The carrying values and unpaid principal balances (prior to any charge-off) of impaired commercial mortgage loans were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

See the Organization and Significant Accounting Policies footnote for disclosure regarding the Company’s purpose for entering into derivatives and the policies on valuation and classification of derivatives. In addition, the Company’s derivatives are generally not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under US GAAP, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment. The Company enters into the following derivatives:

 

Interest rate caps: Interest rate caps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio.  Interest rate caps are purchased contracts that are used by the Company to hedge annuity products against rising interest rates.

 

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, as well as the Company’s liabilities. Interest rate swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of cash flows at regular interim periods, typically monthly or quarterly.

 

Foreign exchange swaps: Foreign exchange swaps are used to reduce the risk of a change in the value, yield, or cash flow with respect to invested assets.  Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows for U.S. dollar cash flows at regular interim periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce the 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 and amounts for the purchase or sale of credit protection. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract.

 

Forwards: Certain forwards are acquired to hedge the Company’s CMO-B portfolio against movements in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. On the settlement date, the Company will either receive a payment (interest rate drops on owned forwards or interest rate rises on purchased forwards) or will be required to make a payment (interest rate rises on owned forwards or interest rate drops on purchased forwards).

 

Futures: Futures contracts are used to hedge against a decrease in certain equity indices. Such decreases may result in a decrease in variable annuity account values, which would increase the possibility of the Company incurring an expense for guaranteed benefits in excess of account values.  A decrease in variable annuity account values would also result in lower fee income.  A decrease in equity markets may also negatively impact the Company’s investment in equity securities.  The futures income would serve to offset these effects. Futures contracts are also used to hedge against an increase in certain equity indices.  Such increases may result in increased payments to contract holders of fixed indexed annuity contracts, and the futures income would serve to offset this increased expense.

 

Swaptions: Swaptions are used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations portfolio.  Swaptions are contracts that give the Company the option to enter into an interest rate swap at a specific future date.

 

Managed Custody Guarantees: The Company issued certain credited rate guarantees on externally managed variable bond funds that represent stand alone derivatives. The market value is partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in interest rates, prepayment rates, and credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives: The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain retail annuity products, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity rates, or credit ratings/spreads.

Credit Default Swaps

 

The Company has entered into various credit default swaps. When credit default swaps are sold, the Company assumes credit exposure to certain assets that it does not own.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Credit default swaps may also be purchased to reduce credit exposure in the Company’s portfolio. Credit default swaps involve a transfer of credit risk from one party to another in exchange for periodic payments. These instruments are typically written for a maturity period of five years and do not contain recourse provisions, which would enable the seller to recover from third parties. The Company has International Swaps and Derivatives Associations, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements with each counterparty with which it conducts business and tracks the collateral positions for each counterparty. To the extent cash collateral is received, it is included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is reinvested in short-term investments.  Collateral held is used in accordance with the Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of credit default swaps of $6.7 and $14.7 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2009, the fair value of credit default swaps of $0.2 and $53.5 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company on the sale of credit protection under credit default swaps was $625.6 and $84.4, respectively.

5.                                    Capital Contributions, Dividends and Statutory Information

 

ILIAC’s ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any dividend, which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) ten percent (10.0%) of ILIAC’s earned statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2) ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, ILIAC paid a $203.0 dividend on its common stock to its Parent.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, ILIAC did not pay any dividends on its common stock to its Parent. On October 30, 2010, IFA paid a $60.0 dividend to ILIAC, its parent, which was eliminated in consolidation.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, ILIAC did not receive any capital contributions from its Parent. On November 12, 2008, ING issued to The State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”) non-voting Tier 1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion.  On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), of which $365.0 was contributed to the Company.  The contribution was comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch State and the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING.  During 2008, ILIAC did not receive any cash capital contributions from Lion.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

On February 18, 2011, ILIAC received a $150.0 capital contribution from its Parent as part of the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING US Insurance Operations.

 

The State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the “Department”) recognizes as net income and capital and surplus those amounts determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Statutory net income (loss) was $66.0, $271.6, and $(428.4), for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.  Statutory capital and surplus was $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As specifically prescribed by statutory accounting practices, statutory surplus as of December 31, 2010 included the impact of the $150.0 capital contribution received by ILIAC from its Parent on February 18, 2011.

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43”) for its statutory basis of accounting.  The adoption of AG43 resulted in higher reserves than those calculated under previous standards by $97.9.  Where the application of AG43 produces higher reserves than the Company had otherwise established under previous standards, the Company may request permission from the Department to grade-in the impact of higher reserve over a three year period.  The Company elected this grade-in provision, as allowed under AG43 and as approved by the Department, which allows the Company to reflect the impact of adoption of $97.9 over a three year period.  The impact of the grade-in for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was a $23.0 and $32.6, respectively, increase in reserves and a corresponding decrease in statutory surplus.

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 10R, Income Taxes, for its statutory basis of accounting.  This statement requires the Company to calculate admitted deferred tax assets based upon what is expected to reverse within one year with a cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset of 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement.  If the Company’s risk-based capital (“RBC”) levels, after reflecting the above limitation, exceeds 250% of the authorized control level, the statement increases the limitation on admitted deferred tax assets from what is expected to reverse in one year to what is expected to reverse over the next three years and increases the cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset from 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement to 15%.  Other revisions in the statement include requiring the Company to reduce the gross deferred tax asset by a statutory valuation allowance adjustment if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion of or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. To temper this positive RBC impact, and as a temporary measure at December 31, 2009 only, a 5% pre-tax RBC charge must be applied to the additional admitted deferred tax assets generated by SSAP 10R.  The adoption for 2009 had a December 31, 2009 sunset; however, during 2010, the 2009

adoption, including the 5% pre-tax RBC charge, was extended through December 31, 2011.  The effects on the Company’s statutory financial statements of adopting this change in accounting principle were increases to total assets and capital and surplus of $68.9 and $51.1 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This adoption had no impact on total liabilities or net income.

 

6.                                    Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees

 

The Company calculates an additional liability for certain GMDBs and other minimum guarantees in order to recognize the expected value of these benefits in excess of the projected account balance over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.

 

The Company regularly evaluates estimates used to adjust the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

 

As of December 31, 2010, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.1 billion and $4.4, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.9 billion and $3.6, respectively.

 

The aggregate fair value of equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $6.1 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively.

and $5.0, respectively, related to foreign tax credits, the benefit of which is uncertain.  The change in net unrealized capital gains (losses) includes an increase (decrease) in the tax valuation allowance of $(68.7), $(38.2), and $(6.4) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

Tax Sharing Agreement

 

Under the intercompany tax sharing agreement, ILIAC has a payable to and a receivable from ING AIH of $49.3 and $23.9 for federal income taxes as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company had $0.0 and $24.8 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

 

Interest and Penalties

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income taxes and income tax expense (benefit) on the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Operations, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of $0.0 and $3.3 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in accrued interest during the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily related to the settlement of the 2004 through 2008 federal audits.

 

Tax Regulatory Matters

 

In September 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s returns through tax year 2008.  The provision for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflected non-recurring favorable adjustments, resulting from a

 

C-62

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

reduction in the tax liability that was no longer deemed necessary based on the results of the IRS examination, monitoring the activities of the IRS with respect to certain issues with other taxpayers and the merits of the Company’s positions.

 

The Company is currently under audit by the IRS and has agreed to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) for tax years 2009 and 2010.  It is anticipated that the IRS audit of the 2009 tax year will be finalized within the next twelve months.  Upon finalization of the IRS examination, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $23.0.

 

8.                                    Benefit Plans

 

Defined Benefit Plan

 

ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008. The Retirement Plan was amended on July 1, 2008, related to the admission of the employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet LLC (“CitiStreet”) by Lion, and ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Retirement Plan, but has not yet received a favorable determination letter. Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, the Retirement Plan was amended to provide that anyone hired or rehired by the Company on or after January 1, 2009, would not be eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.

 

The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $27.2, $22.3, and $14.0 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

ING North America sponsors the ING Americas Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees, including but not limited to Career Agents) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. Career Agents are certain, full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

with the Company and certain other individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria.  The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, which includes an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. The Savings Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 and subsequently amended on July 1, 2008, with respect to the admission of employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet by Lion. The Savings Plan was most recently amended effective January 1, 2011 to permit Roth 401(k) contributions to be made to the Plan. ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Plan and received a favorable determination letter dated May 19, 2009. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6.0% of eligible compensation. Matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. The cost allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $10.7, $8.9, and $10.3, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

 

Through December 31, 2001, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, offered certain eligible employees (other than Career Agents) a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and an Excess Plan (collectively, the “SERPs”). Benefit accruals under Aetna Financial Services SERPs ceased, effective as of December 31, 2001 and participants begin accruing benefits under ING North America SERPs.  Benefits under the SERPs are determined based on an eligible employee’s years of service and average annual compensation for the highest five years during the last ten years of employment.

 

The Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (formerly the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Agents Non-Qualified Plan”). This plan covers certain full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria specified in the plan (“Career Agents”). The Agents Non-Qualified Plan was terminated effective January 1, 2002. In connection with the termination, all benefit accruals ceased and all accrued benefits were frozen.

 

The SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, are non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, which means all the SERPs benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and Agents Non-Qualified Plan benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and ING North America. These non-qualified defined benefit pension plans are not guaranteed by the PBGC.

Assumptions

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in the measurement of the December 31, 2010 and 2009 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

 

 

 

2010

 

2009

Discount rate at end of period

 

5.50%

 

6.00%

Rate of compensation increase

 

3.00%

 

1.50%

 

In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries (particularly the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve Liability Index), including a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company’s pension obligation and general movements in the current market environment. The discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio of high quality, noncallable bonds that will match the cash flows of the Retirement Plan. Based upon all available information, it was determined that 5.5% was the appropriate discount rate as of December 31, 2010, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability.

In 2011, the employer is expected to contribute $9.9 to the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan.  Future expected benefit payments related to the SERPs, and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2015, and thereafter through 2020, are estimated to be $9.9, $9.1, $7.9, $6.8, $5.5, and $28.4, respectively.

 

Stock Option and Share Plans

 

Through 2010, ING sponsored the ING Group Long-Term Equity Ownership Plan (“leo”), which provides employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Executive Board with options and/or performance shares.  The terms applicable to an award under leo are set out in an award agreement, which is signed by the participant when he or she accepts the award.

 

Options granted under leo are nonqualified options on ING shares in the form of American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”). Leo options have a ten (10) year term and vest three years from the grant date. Options awarded under leo may vest earlier in the event of the participant’s death, permanent disability or retirement.  Retirement for purposes of leo means a participant terminates service after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years of service.  Early vesting in all or a portion of a grant of options may also occur in the event the participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture. Unvested options are generally subject to forfeiture when a participant voluntarily terminates

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants generally have up to seven years in which to exercise their vested options. A shorter exercise period applies in the event of termination due to redundancy, business divestiture, voluntary termination or termination for cause. An option gives the recipient the right to purchase an ING share in the form of ADRs at a price equal to the fair market value of one ING share on the date of grant. On exercise, participant’s have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the options being exercised, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation.  The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

 

Awards of performance shares may also be made under leo.  Performance shares are a contingent grant of ING stock, and, on vesting, the participant has the right to receive a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Market on the vesting date times the number of vested Plan shares.  Performance shares generally vest three years from the date of grant, with the amount payable based on ING’s share price on the vesting date.  Payments made to participants on vesting are based on the performance targets established in connection with leo and payments can range from 0% to 200% of target.  Performance is based on ING’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group as determined at the end of the vesting period. To vest, a participant must be actively employed on the vesting date, although immediate vesting will occur in the event of the participant’s death, disability or retirement.  If a participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture, vesting will occur but in only a portion of the award. Unvested shares are generally subject to forfeiture when an employee voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo).  Upon vesting, participants have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the shares, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

 

The Company was allocated from ING compensation expense for the leo options and performance shares of $3.4, $3.7, and $4.1, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

For leo, the Company recognized tax benefits of $0.7, $0.1, and $0.7, in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

Commencing in 2011, ING introduced a new long-term equity and deferred bonus plan, the Long-Term Sustainable Performance Plan (“LSPP”).  The terms applicable to an award under the LSPP will be set out in a grant agreement which is signed by the

 

C-67



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

participant when he or she accepts the award.  The LSPP will provide employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Executive Board with performance shares and will also require deferral of discretionary incentive bonus awards in excess of EU 100,000.  The performance shares awarded under the LSPP will be a contingent grant of ING ADR units and on settlement, the participant will have the right to either receive ING ADR units in kind or a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronent Amsterdam Stock Market on the settlement date times the number of vested ADR units, subject to achievement during the vesting period of performance targets based on return of equity and employee engagement. The excess bonus amount will be held in deferred ING ADR units or in a deferred cash account, or some combination thereof, depending on the total amount of the incentive bonus award, generally subject to vesting in three equal tranches over the three year period commencing on the date of incentive bonus payment.  Unlike the leo plan, no options on ING shares in the form of ADRs will be granted under the LSPP.  To vest in performance shares, deferred shares or deferred cash, an employee must generally be actively employed on the settlement date, although immediate full and partial vesting in the event of normal age or early retirement, death or disability, or termination due to redundancy or business divestiture will occur, similar to the vesting treatment in the leo plan.

 

In addition, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the following benefit plans:

 

§

The ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents, which allows participants to defer a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company match equals 60% of a participant’s pre-tax deferral contribution, with a maximum of 6% of the participant’s eligible pay. A request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents was filed with the IRS on January 1, 2008. A favorable determination letter was received dated January 5, 2011.

§

The Producers’ Incentive Savings Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches such pre-tax contributions at specified amounts.

§

The Producers’ Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis.

§

Certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and their eligible dependents. The post retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually and the Company subsidizes a portion of the monthly per-participant premium. Beginning August 1, 2009, the Company moved from self-insuring these costs and began to use a private-fee-for-service Medicare Advantage program for post-Medicare eligible retired participants. In addition, effective October 1, 2009, the Company no longer subsidizes medical premium costs for early retirees. This change does not impact any participant currently retired and receiving coverage under the plan or any employee who is eligible for coverage under the plan and whose employment ended before October

The ING Americas Deferred Compensation Savings Plan, which is a deferred compensation plan that includes a 401(k) excess component.

 

The benefit charges allocated to the Company related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, were $11.9, $12.1, and $13.9, respectively.

Since the assets were being depreciated using expected useful lives, the current net book value reasonably approximated the current fair value of the assets being transferred. The fixed assets sold to ING North America by the Company totaled $17.4.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

ILIAC incurred no interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the revolving note facility.

 

Windsor Property Loan

 

On June 16, 2007, the State of Connecticut acting by the Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) loaned ILIAC $9.9 (the “DECD Loan”) in connection with the development of the corporate office facility located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut that serves as the principal executive offices of the Company (the “Windsor Property”). The loan has a term of twenty years and bears an annual interest rate of 1.00%. As long as no defaults have occurred under the loan, no payments of principal or interest are due for the initial ten years of the loan. For the second ten years of the DECD Loan term, ILIAC is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest.

 

The DECD Loan provided for loan forgiveness during the first five years of the term at varying amounts up to $5.0 if ILIAC and its affiliates met certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during that period.  On December 1, 2008, the DECD determined that the Company had met the employment thresholds for loan forgiveness and, accordingly, forgave $5.0 of the DECD Loan to ILIAC in accordance with the terms of the DECD Loan. The DECD Loan provides additional loan forgiveness at varying amounts up to $4.9 if ILIAC and its ING affiliates meet certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during years five through ten of the loan. ILIAC’s obligations under the DECD Loan are secured by an unlimited recourse guaranty from its affiliate, ING North America Insurance Corporation.

 

At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4.9 which was reflected in Notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Also see Financing Agreements in the Related Party Transactions footnote.

 

 

11.                            Reinsurance

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company had reinsurance treaties with 6 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts.  At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any outstanding cessions under any reinsurance treaties with affiliated reinsurers.  The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

 

On October 1, 1998, the Company disposed of its individual life insurance business under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with a subsidiary of Lincoln for $1.0 billion in cash.  Under the agreement, the Lincoln subsidiary contractually assumed from the

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated to contract owners.  The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

 

The Company assumed $25.0 of premium revenue from Aetna Life, for the purchase and administration of a life contingent single premium variable payout annuity contract. In addition, the Company is also responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made to annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $11.5 and $11.6 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Reinsurance ceded in force for life mortality risks were $17.4 billion and $18.6 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, net receivables were comprised of the following:

Leases

 

Prior to December 31, 2008, the Company leased certain office space and certain equipment under various operating leases and paid substantially all expenses associated with its leased and subleased office properties. Any expenses not paid directly by the Company were paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company.  However, as of December 31, 2008, all of the Company’s expenses for leased and subleased office properties will be paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company, as all operating leases were terminated or consolidated by ING AIH during the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in the Company no longer being party to any operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, rent expense for leases was $4.0, $5.1, and $6.1, respectively.

Commitments

 

Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield.  The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost.  Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments.

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $336.3, of which $144.0 was with related parties.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $305.1, of which $218.5 was with related parties.  During 2010 and 2009, $69.1 and $46.8, respectively, was funded to related parties under these commitments.

 

Collateral

 

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter Derivative ISDA Agreements (“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 CSA.  The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company held $4.7, of cash collateral, which was included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not hold any cash collateral. In addition, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company delivered collateral of $93.8 and $130.3, respectively, in fixed maturities pledged under derivatives contracts, which was included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/ arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages, and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

Regulatory Matters

 

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry.  Some of these investigations and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company.  The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company or its affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, fines, and other financial liability.  It is not currently anticipated that the outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.  It is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2009 the Company changed its method of accounting for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments.

1.                                    Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut. ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are providers of financial products and services in the United States.  ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and the District of Columbia.

 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”).  ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is a global financial services holding company based in the Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

 

As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission (“EC”), ING has agreed to separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation by divestment of its insurance and investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for implementing the separation including one or more initial public offerings, sales, or a combination thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that while the option of one global initial public offering (“IPO”) remains open, ING and its U.S. insurance affiliates, including the Company, are going to prepare for a base case of two IPOs: one Europe-led IPO and one separate U.S.-focused IPO.

 

Description of Business

 

The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The Company’s products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, and education markets (collectively “not-for-profit” organizations) and corporate markets. The Company’s products are generally distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

 

Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (payout annuities) annuity contracts.  Company products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the

Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans, which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e., liquidity guarantees of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under the terms of the plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company. The Company also offers pension and retirement savings plan administrative services.

 

The Company has one operating segment.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

 

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20, “Receivables (Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”), which requires certain existing disclosures to be disaggregated by class of financing receivable, including the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of impairment method.  For each disaggregated ending balance, an entity is required to also disclose the related recorded investment in financing receivables, the nonaccrual status of financing receivables, and impaired financing receivables.

 

ASU 2010-20 also requires new disclosures by class of financing receivable, including credit quality indicators, aging of past due amounts, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and related defaults, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables disaggregated by portfolio segment.

 

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, which temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-20 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2010, and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to the consolidated financial statements, as well as the Reinsurance section below, except for the disclosures that include information for activity that occurs during a reporting period, which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings.  As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives

 

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” (“ASU 2010-11”), which clarifies that the only type of embedded credit derivatives that are exempt from

 

C-11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-11 were adopted by the Company on July 1, 2010.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under ASC Topic 815.

 

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” (“ASU 2010-06”), which requires several new disclosures, as well as clarification to existing disclosures, as follows:

 

§                             Significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reason for the transfers;

§       Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlement, in the Level 3 fair value measurements reconciliation on a gross basis;

§       Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (i.e., disaggregated); and

§       Valuation techniques and inputs for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-06 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010, and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to the consolidated financial statements, except for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02 “Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification,” (“ASU 2010-02”), which clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions applies to the following:

 

C-12



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

§                             A subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity;

§                             A subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and

§                       An exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture).

 

ASU 2010-02 also notes that the decrease in ownership guidance does not apply to sales of in substance real estate and expands disclosure requirements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-02 were adopted, retrospectively, by the Company on January 1, 2010.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, or 2008, as there were no decreases in ownership of a subsidiary during those periods.

 

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved in Variable Interest Entities

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved in Variable Interest Entities,” (“ASU 2009-17”), which eliminates the exemption for qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”), as well as amends the consolidation guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as follows:

 

§                          Removes the quantitative-based assessment for consolidation of VIEs and, instead, requires a qualitative assessment of whether an entity has the power to direct the VIE’s activities, and whether the entity has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to reserve benefits that could be significant to the VIE; and

§                             Requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

 

In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, “Consolidation (ASC Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds” (ASU 2010-10), which primarily defers to ASU 2009-17 for an investment in an entity that is accounted for as an investment company.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10 were adopted on January 1, 2010. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the consolidation conclusions were consistent with those under previous accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-17 are presented in the Financial Instruments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16 “Transfers and Servicing (ASC Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU 2009-16”), which eliminates the QSPE concept and requires a transferor of financial assets to:

 

§                             Consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in assets, limiting the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire asset to an entity that is not consolidated;

§                             Account for the transfer as a sale only if an entity transfers an entire financial asset and surrenders control, unless the transfer meets the conditions for a participating interest; and

§                             Recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-16 were adopted on January 1, 2010. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the Company did not have any QSPEs under previous US GAAP, and the requirements for sale accounting treatment are consistent with those previously applied by the Company under US GAAP.

 

Measuring the Fair Value of Certain Alternative Investments

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)” (“ASU 2009-12”), which allows the use of net asset value to estimate the fair value of certain alternative investments, such as interests in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, venture capital funds, offshore fund vehicles, and funds of funds.  In addition, ASU 2009-12 requires disclosures about the attributes of such investments.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-12 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2009.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under US GAAP.  The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-12 are presented in the Investments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events, included in ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes:

 

C-14



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

§

The period after the balance sheet date during which an entity should evaluate events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;

§

The circumstances under which an entity should recognize such events or transactions in its financial statements; and

§

Disclosures regarding such events or transactions and the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 855, were adopted by the Company on June 30, 2009.  In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which clarifies that a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filer should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and eliminates the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose that date, effective upon issuance. The Company determined that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under U.S. auditing standards. The disclosure provisions included in ASC Topic 855, as amended, are presented in the Organization and Significant Accounting Policies footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, included in ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities,” which requires:

 

§

Noncredit related impairments to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), if management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell the security and that it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis;

§

Total other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) to be presented in the Statement of Operations with an offset recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the noncredit related impairments;

§

A cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from Retained earnings (deficit) to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and

§

Additional interim disclosures for debt and equity securities regarding types of securities held, unrealized losses, and other-than-temporary impairments.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 320, were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009.  As a result of implementation, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $151.7 after considering the effects of

 

C-15

deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and income taxes of $(134.0) and $46.9, respectively, as an increase to April 1, 2009 Retained earnings (deficit) with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 

In addition, the Company recognized an increase in amortized cost for previously impaired securities due to the recognition of the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of April 1, 2009, as follows:

The disclosure provisions, as included in ASC Topic 320, are presented in the Investments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, included in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments, and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, including:

 

§

How and why derivative instruments are used;

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under US GAAP for derivative and hedging activities; and

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial statements.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 815, were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009 and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.  As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

 

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, “Financial Services - Insurance (ASC Topic 944): Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts” (“ASU 2010-26”), which clarifies what costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral.  Costs that should be capitalized include (1) incremental direct costs of successful contract acquisition and (2) certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities (underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspection, and sales force contract selling) performed by the insurer for the contract. Advertising costs should be included in deferred acquisition costs only if the capitalization criteria in the US GAAP direct-response advertising guidance are met.  All other acquisition-related costs should be charged to expense as incurred.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-26 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted, and early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an entity’s annual reporting period.  The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-26.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-15, “Financial Services - Insurance (ASC Topic 944): How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments” (“ASU 2010-15”), which clarifies that an insurance entity generally should not consider any separate account interests held for the benefit of policy holders in an investment to be the insurer’s interests, and should not combine those interests with its general account interest in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-15 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods as of the date of adoption.  The Company does not expect any effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under ASC Topic 944.

 

Accounting Policy Change

 

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company concluded that it should change its accounting for realized capital gains (losses) and unrealized capital gains (losses) on investments supporting experience-rated products.  The impact of this change in accounting policy on the Company’s financial statements is immaterial to all periods presented.  Therefore, this correction is reflected in the fourth quarter of 2010 (the period

in which the change was made).  Certain reclassifications, which increased (decreased) Realized gains (losses) and Interest credited and other benefits by $11.3 and $614.4 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were made in connection with this change, and had no impact on net income.  This change in accounting policy has no impact on individual customer account values and no impact on credited rates for experience-rated products.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, certain money market instruments, and other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

 

Investments

 

All of the Company’s fixed maturities, except those accounted for using the fair value option, and equity securities are currently designated as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Shareholder’s equity, after adjustment, if any, for related changes in DAC, value of business acquired (“VOBA”), and deferred income taxes.  Fixed maturities accounted for using the fair value option are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations.

 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

 

The Company analyzes its general account investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and changes in ratings of the security.

When assessing the Company’s intent to sell a security or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management evaluates facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio and sales of investments to meet cash flow needs.

 

When the Company has determined it has the intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value has declined below amortized cost (“intent impairment”) the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value and a corresponding charge is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an OTTI.  If the Company does not intend to sell the security nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis, the OTTI is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease in cash flows expected 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) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

In order to determine the amount of the OTTI that is considered a credit impairment, the Company utilizes the following methodology and significant inputs:

 

§

Recovery value is estimated by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the best estimate of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the underlying debt security. The effective interest rate is the current yield prior to impairment for a fixed rate security or current coupon yield for a floating rate security.

§

Collectability and recoverability are estimated using the same considerations as the Company uses in its overall impairment analysis which includes, but is not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and changes in ratings of the security.

§

Additional factors considered for structured securities such as RMBS, CMBS and other ABS include, but are not limited to, quality of underlying collateral, anticipated loss severities, collateral default rates, and other collateral characteristics such as vintage, repayment terms, and the geographical makeup of the collateral.

Purchases and Sales

 

Purchases and sales of fixed maturities and equity securities, excluding private placements, are recorded on the trade date. Purchases and sales of private placements and mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

 

Valuation of Investments and Derivatives

 

The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820.  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 monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

 

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values.  There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values during 2010, except for the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO-Bs”) which commenced in the first quarter of 2010. CMO-Bs were previously valued using an average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The Company has categorized 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.

 

C-20



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Consolidated 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 reported values for the investments and derivatives described below:

 

Fixed maturities: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets.  Assets in this category would primarily include certain US Treasury securities.  The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market, excluding subprime residential mortgage-backed securities, are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which provide the estimated fair values, and are classified as Level 2 assets.  These services 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.  This category includes US and foreign corporate bonds, Asset-backed Securities (“ABS”), US agency and government guaranteed securities, Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities (“CMBS”), and Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”), including CMO-Bs.

 

Generally, the Company does not obtain more than one vendor price from pricing services per instrument. The Company uses a hierarchy process in which prices are obtained from a primary vendor, and, if that vendor is unable to provide the price, the next vendor in the hierarchy is contacted until a price is obtained or it is determined that a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service. 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.

Broker quotes and prices obtained from pricing services are reviewed and validated monthly through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes. At December 31, 2010, $73.3 and $13.2 billion of a total of $17.4 billion in fixed maturities were valued using unadjusted broker quotes and unadjusted prices obtained from pricing services, respectively, and verified through the review process. The remaining balance in fixed maturities consisted primarily of privately placed bonds valued using matrix-based pricing model.

 

All prices and broker quotes obtained go through the review process described above including valuations for which only one broker quote is obtained.  After review, for those instruments where the price is determined to be appropriate, the unadjusted price provided is used for financial statement valuation. If it is determined that the price is questionable, another price may be requested from a different vendor. The internal valuation committee then reviews all prices for the instrument again, along with information from the review, to determine which price best represents “exit price” for the instrument.

 

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets.  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.

 

Trading activity for the Company’s RMBS, particularly subprime and Alt-A RMBS, declined during 2008 as a result of the dislocation of the credit markets.  The Company continued to obtain pricing information from commercial pricing services and brokers. However, the pricing for subprime and Alt-A RMBS did not represent regularly occurring market transactions since the trading activity declined significantly in the second half of 2008.  As a result, the Company concluded in the second half of 2008 that the market for subprime and Alt-A RMBS was inactive and classified these securities as Level 3 assets. The Company did not change its valuation procedures, which are consistent with those used for Level 2 marketable bonds without an active market, as a result of determining that the market was inactive. Due to increased trade activity of Alt-A RMBS during the second half of 2009, the Company determined that the Alt-A RMBS should be transferred to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as its overall assessment of the market was that it was active. The market for subprime RMBS remains largely inactive, and as such these securities will remain in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company will continue to monitor market activity for RMBS to determine proper classification in the valuation hierarchy.

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by sources such as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments, and Short-term investments under securities loan agreement: The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values.  The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1. Other short-term investments are valued and classified in the fair value hierarchy consistent with the policies described herein, depending on investment type.

 

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities.  Derivatives are carried at fair value (on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London Inter Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), or through values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure.  It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. The Company’s own credit risk is also considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process. Valuations for the Company’s futures contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices from an active exchange and, therefore, are classified as Level 1. The Company also has certain credit default swaps that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3. However, all other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

 

Product guarantees: The Company records product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with ASC 815.  The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value.  The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach as described in ASC 820.  The income associated with the contracts is projected using actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts.  The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions.  These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities or assets. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks as required by US GAAP.  Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the

Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment.  The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair values of these product guarantees.  As of December 31, 2010, the overall value of the derivative liability decreased.  This decrease was mainly due to an increase in interest rate levels, and also benefited from the change in credit spread of ING in relation to prior periods which decreased the derivative liability.

 

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.

 

The following investments are reported at values other than fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and therefore are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Mortgage loans on real estate: Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs and allowance for losses. 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 either the lower of the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, 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).

 

Policy loans: The reported value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans. Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The reported value of the State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”) loan obligation is based on the outstanding loan balance plus any unamortized premium.

 

Limited partnerships/corporations: The carrying value for these investments, primarily private equities and hedge funds, is determined based on the Company’s degree of influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies along with the percent of the investee that the Company owns. Those investments where the Company has determined it has significant influence are accounted for under the equity method, with the remainder accounted for under the cost method.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of

 

C-24

timing and amounts of future cash flows.  Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized capital gains (losses).  In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements with mortgage-backed securities (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase agreements with other collateral types to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Such arrangements typically meet the requirements to be accounted for as financing arrangements. The Company enters into dollar roll transactions by selling existing mortgage-backed securities and concurrently entering into an agreement to repurchase similar securities within a short time frame in the future at a lower price. Under repurchase agreements, the Company borrows cash from a counterparty at an agreed upon interest rate for an agreed upon time frame and pledges collateral in the form of securities. At the end of the agreement, the counterparty returns the collateral to the Company and the Company, in turn, repays the loan amount along with the additional agreed upon interest. Company policy requires that at all times during the term of the dollar roll and repurchase agreements that cash or other collateral types obtained is sufficient to allow the Company to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. Cash collateral received is invested in short-term investments, with the offsetting collateral liability included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions was $216.7. At December 31, 2009, there were no securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions.  The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, totaled $214.7 and $0.1, respectively at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition to the purchase obligation at December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any collateral posted by the counterparty in connection with the increase in the value of pledged securities that will be released upon settlement.

 

The Company also enters into reverse repurchase agreements.  These transactions involve a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same securities as those purchased.  Company policy requires that, at all times during the term of the reverse repurchase agreements, cash or other collateral types provided is sufficient to allow the counterparty to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements.

 

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract.  The Company’s

 

C-25

exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was immaterial at December 31, 2010.  The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

 

Securities Lending

 

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time.  Initial collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned domestic securities.  The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income.  The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of loaned securities was $651.7 and $339.5, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Derivatives

 

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to 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 interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency contracts, including swaps, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow, or exchange rates of assets or liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure associated with a referenced asset, index, or pool.  The Company also utilizes options and futures on equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity products.  Open derivative contracts are reported as either Derivatives or Other liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

If the Company’s current debt and claims paying ratings were downgraded in the future, the terms in the Company’s derivative agreements may be triggered, which could negatively impact overall liquidity.  For the majority of the Company’s counterparties, there is a termination event should the Company’s long-term debt ratings drop below BBB+/Baa1.

 

The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain products with guarantees, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic

 

C-26

and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives within retail annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value are recorded in Interest credited and benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

DAC and VOBA

 

General

 

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization.  Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.

 

VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization.  The value is based on the present value of estimated profits embedded in the Company’s contracts.

 

US GAAP guidance for universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities, indicates DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins, plus surrender charges.

 

Internal Replacements

 

Contract owners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make modifications to an existing contract.  Beginning January 1, 2007, these transactions are identified as internal replacements and are accounted for in accordance with US GAAP guidance for DAC related to modification or exchange of insurance contracts.

 

Internal replacements that are determined to result in substantially unchanged contracts are accounted for as continuations of the replaced contracts.  Any costs associated with the issuance of the new contracts are considered maintenance costs and expensed as incurred. Unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts continue to be deferred and amortized in connection with the new contracts.  Internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Net amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Unlocking

 

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances and amortization rates.  Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of future gross profits associated with variable deferred annuity products.  One of the most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of future gross profits is the assumed return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in the equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and long-term assumptions regarding market performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. Other significant assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread, and estimated mortality.

 

Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs quarterly and annual analyses of DAC and VOBA. The DAC and VOBA balances are evaluated for recoverability.

 

At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated future gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued reasonableness.  Any adjustment in estimated future gross profits requires that the amortization rate be revised (“unlocking”), retroactively to the date of the policy or contract issuance. The cumulative unlocking adjustment is recognized as a component of current period amortization. In general, sustained increases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, lower the rate of amortization. Sustained decreases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, however, increase the rate of amortization.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.

 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, total accumulated depreciation and amortization was $102.6 and $99.5, respectively. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets with the exception of land and artwork, which are not depreciated or amortized. The Company’s property and equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives.

Reserves

 

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

 

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

 

Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and individual immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest. Credited interest rates vary by product and range from 0% to 7.8% for the years 2010, 2009, and 2008.  Reserves for group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

 

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses, including a margin for adverse deviations.  Such assumptions generally vary by annuity type plan, year of issue, and policy duration.  For the years 2010, 2009, and 2008, reserve interest rates ranged from 4.5% to 6.0%.

 

The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates.  The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is reported at fair value in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP guidance for insurance companies, derivatives, and fair value measurements.  The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach.  The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions.  Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks beginning January 1, 2008 with the adoption of new US GAAP guidance on fair value measurements. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contain adjustment to the fair value of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the Company based

on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment.  The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair value of these product guarantees.

 

Unpaid claims and claim expenses for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

 

Certain variable annuities offer guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”). The GMDB is accrued in the event the contract owner account value at death is below the guaranteed value and is included in reserves.

 

The Company’s domestic individual life insurance business was disposed of on October 1, 1998 pursuant to an indemnity reinsurance agreement. The Company includes an amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals the Company’s total individual life reserves. Individual life reserves are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For most annuity contracts, charges assessed against contract owner funds for the cost of insurance, surrenders, expenses, and other fees are recorded as revenue as charges are assessed.  Other amounts received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not recorded as premiums or revenue.  When annuity payments with life contingencies begin under contracts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected in both Premiums and Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts received for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contract owners who bear the investment risk, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guarantees.  Investment income and investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to such contract owners.  The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company or its affiliates.

 

Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are invested, as designated by the contract owner or participant (who bears the investment risk subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) under a contract, in shares of

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

mutual funds that are managed by the Company or its affiliates, or in other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company or its affiliates.

 

The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in the separate accounts and liabilities of separate accounts if:

 

§

such separate accounts are legally recognized;

§

assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company’s general account liabilities;

§

investments are directed by the contractholder; and

§

all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder.

 

The Company reports separate account assets and liabilities that meet the above criteria at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying investments.  Investment income and net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) of the separate accounts, however, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the separate accounts.

 

Reinsurance

 

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to losses from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary liability as the direct insurer of the risks. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial strength and credit ratings of its reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the disposition of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered into an indemnity reinsurance agreement with a subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation (“Lincoln”).  The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure it obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.  Of the Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is related to the reinsurance recoverable from the subsidiary of Lincoln under this reinsurance agreement.

 

Income Taxes

 

ILIAC files a consolidated federal income tax return with ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an affiliate, and certain other subsidiaries of ING AIH. ILIAC is party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the group whereby ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each

The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies and the Dutch State loan obligation, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company’s Shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, fixed maturities with fair values of $13.4 and $12.9, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

 

The Company invests in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults.  The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 36.5% and 29.4%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings were invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs, such as interest-only or principal-only strips.

 

Transfer of Alt-A RMBS Participation Interest

 

On January 26, 2009, ING  announced it reached an agreement, for itself and on behalf of certain ING affiliates including the Company, with the Dutch State on an Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility (the “Back-Up Facility”) covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities (“Alt-A RMBS”).  Under the terms of the Back-Up Facility, a full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State was realized on 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance US with a book value of $36.0 billion, including book value of $802.5 of the Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company (with respect to the Company’s portfolio, the “Designated Securities Portfolio”) (the “ING-Dutch State Transaction”).  As a result of the risk transfer, the

 

C-34

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Dutch State will participate in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio.  The risk transfer to the Dutch State took place at a discount of approximately 10% of par value.  In addition, under the Back-Up Facility, other fees were paid both by the Company and the Dutch State.  Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State Transaction, including the Company remains the legal owner of 100% of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio and will remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio.  The ING-Dutch State Transaction closed March 31, 2009, with the affiliate participation conveyance and risk transfer to the Dutch State described in the succeeding paragraph taking effect as of January 26, 2009.

 

In order to implement that portion of the ING-Dutch State Transaction related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, the Company entered into a participation agreement with its affiliates, ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING Support Holding”) and ING pursuant to which the Company conveyed to ING Support Holding an 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio and will pay a periodic transaction fee, and received, as consideration for the participation, an assignment by ING Support Holding of its right to receive payments from the Dutch State under the Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio among, ING, ING Support Holding and the Dutch State (the “Company Back-Up Facility”).  Under the Company Back-Up Facility, the Dutch State is obligated to pay certain periodic fees and make certain periodic payments with respect to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, and ING Support Holding is obligated to pay a periodic guarantee fee and make periodic payments to the Dutch State equal to the distributions it receives with respect to the 80% participation interest in the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio.  The Dutch State payment obligation to the Company under the Company Back-Up Facility is accounted for as a loan receivable for US GAAP and is reported in Loan - Dutch State obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Upon the closing of the transaction on March 31, 2009, the Company recognized a gain of $206.2, which was reported in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

In a second transaction, known as the Step 1 Cash Transfer, a portion of the Company’s Alt-A RMBS which had a book value of $4.2 was sold for cash to an affiliate, Lion II Custom Investments LLC (“Lion II”).  Immediately thereafter, Lion II sold to ING Direct Bancorp the purchased securities (the “Step 2 Cash Transfer”). Contemporaneous with the Step 2 Cash Transfer, ING Direct Bancorp included such purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State.  The Step 1 Cash Transfer closed on March 31, 2009, and the Company recognized a gain of $0.3 contemporaneous with the closing of the ING-Dutch State Transaction, which was reported in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

As part of the final restructuring plan submitted to the European Commission (“EC”) in connection with its review of the Dutch state aid to ING (the “Restructuring Plan”), ING

has agreed to make additional payments to the Dutch State corresponding to an adjustment of fees for the Back-Up Facility. Under this new agreement, the terms of the ING-Dutch State Transaction which closed on March 31, 2009, including the transfer price of the Alt-A RMBS securities, will remain unaltered and the additional payments will not be borne by the Company or any other ING U.S. subsidiaries.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company holds certain VIEs for investment purposes.  VIEs may be in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, or limited partnerships. The Company has reviewed each of its holdings and determined that consolidation of these investments in the Company’s financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary, because the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation or right to potentially significant losses or benefits, for any of its investments in VIEs. Rather, the VIEs are accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting. The Company provided no non-contractual financial support and its carrying value represents the Company’s exposure to loss. The carrying value of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) of $0.6 and $0.1 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, is included in Limited partnerships/corporations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and losses recognized on these investments are reported in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities decreased by $433.4. Lower unrealized losses are due to declining yields and the overall tightening of credit spreads since the end of 2009, leading to the increased value of fixed maturities.

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company held 1 fixed maturity with an unrealized capital loss in excess of $10.0.  The unrealized capital loss on this fixed maturity equaled $10.0, or 4.3% of the total unrealized capital losses, as of December 31, 2010.  At December 31, 2009, the Company held 8 fixed maturities with unrealized capital losses in excess of $10.0.  The unrealized capital losses on these fixed maturities equaled $118.2, or 17.7% of the total unrealized capital losses, as of December 31, 2009.

 

All investments with fair values less than amortized cost are included in the Company’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis, and impairments were recognized as disclosed in “Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which follows this section. After detailed impairment analysis was completed, management determined that the remaining investments in an unrealized loss position were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore no further other-than-temporary impairment was necessary.

Transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2

 

Certain U.S. Treasury securities valued by commercial pricing services where prices are derived using market observable inputs have been transferred from Level 1 to Level 2.  These securities for the year ended December 31, 2010, include U.S. Treasury strips of $60.6 in which prices are modeled incorporating 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. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

As described below, certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, further disclosure of estimated fair values is included in this Financial Instruments footnote. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition in many circumstances. However, in certain cases, the transaction price may not represent fair value. The fair value of a liability is based on the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a third-party with an equal credit standing. Fair value is required to be a market-based measurement which is determined based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, from a market participant’s perspective. The Company considers three broad valuation techniques when a quoted price is unavailable: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given the instrument being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs. The Company prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation techniques and allows for the use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 

The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820. 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 monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

 

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values during 2010, except for the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value CMO-Bs which commenced in the first quarter of 2010. CMO-Bs were previously valued using an average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

Level 3 Financial Instruments

 

The fair values of certain assets and liabilities are determined using prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3 as defined by ASC 820), including but not limited to liquidity spreads for investments within markets deemed not currently active. 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. In addition, the Company has determined, for certain financial instruments, an active market is such a significant input to determine fair value that the presence of an inactive market may lead to classification in Level 3. In light of the methodologies employed to obtain the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below, with particular attention addressed to the reserves for product guarantees due to the impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The transfers out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2010 in fixed maturities, including securities pledged, are primarily due to the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value CMO-Bs. These services 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 and have been classified as Level 2. The CMO-Bs had previously been valued by using the average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

The remaining transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities, equity securities and separate accounts during the year ended December 31, 2010 are due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3, as these securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

 

The carrying values and estimated fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825 which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. 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, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

ASC Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments which are not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and therefore not categorized in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Limited partnerships/corporations: The fair value for these investments, primarily private equities and hedge funds, is estimated based on the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as provided by the investee.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated 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.

 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The fair value of the Dutch State loan obligation is estimated utilizing discounted cash flows from the Dutch Strip Yield Curve.

 

Policy loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans.  Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Investment contract liabilities (included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves):

 

With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows, including associated expenses for maintaining the contracts, at rates, which are market risk-free rates augmented by credit spreads on current Company credit default swaps. The augmentation is present to account for non-performance risk. A margin for nonfinancial risks associated with the contracts is also included.

 

Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the mean present value of stochastically modeled cash flows associated with the contract liabilities relevant to both the contractholder and to the Company. Here, the stochastic valuation scenario set is consistent with current market parameters, and discount is taken using stochastically evolving short risk-free rates in the scenarios augmented by credit spreads on current Company debt. The augmentation in the discount is present to account for non-performance risk. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included.

Notes receivable from affiliates: Estimated fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from affiliates is based upon discounted future cash flows using a discount rate approximating the current market rate.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of timing and amounts of future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized capital gains (losses). In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. In evaluating the Company’s management of interest rate, price, and liquidity risks, the fair values of all assets and liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those presented above.

As of December 31, 2010, all commercial mortgage loans are held-for-investment.  The Company diversifies its commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce 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.  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. Loan performance is continuously monitored on a loan-specific basis through the review of borrower submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items.  This review ensures properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt.

The Company believes it has a high quality mortgage loan portfolio with 100% of commercial mortgages classified as performing.  The Company defines delinquent commercial mortgage loans consistent with industry practice as 60 days past due.  As of December 31, 2010, there were no commercial loans classified as delinquent.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest income until a loan becomes 90 days delinquent or foreclosure proceedings are commenced, at which point interest accrual is discontinued. Interest accrual is not resumed until past due payments are brought current. At December 31, 2010, there were no commercial mortgage loans on nonaccrual status.

All commercial mortgages are rated for the purpose of quantifying the level of risk.  Those loans with higher risk are placed on a watch list and are closely monitored for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal or interest.  If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect on all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral.

 

The carrying values and unpaid principal balances (prior to any charge-off) of impaired commercial mortgage loans were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

See the Organization and Significant Accounting Policies footnote for disclosure regarding the Company’s purpose for entering into derivatives and the policies on valuation and classification of derivatives. In addition, the Company’s derivatives are generally not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under US GAAP, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment. The Company enters into the following derivatives:

 

Interest rate caps: Interest rate caps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio.  Interest rate caps are purchased contracts that are used by the Company to hedge annuity products against rising interest rates.

 

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, as well as the Company’s liabilities. Interest rate swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of cash flows at regular interim periods, typically monthly or quarterly.

 

Foreign exchange swaps: Foreign exchange swaps are used to reduce the risk of a change in the value, yield, or cash flow with respect to invested assets.  Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows for U.S. dollar cash flows at regular interim periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually.

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce the 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 and amounts for the purchase or sale of credit protection. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract.

 

Forwards: Certain forwards are acquired to hedge the Company’s CMO-B portfolio against movements in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. On the settlement date, the Company will either receive a payment (interest rate drops on owned forwards or interest rate rises on purchased forwards) or will be required to make a payment (interest rate rises on owned forwards or interest rate drops on purchased forwards).

 

Futures: Futures contracts are used to hedge against a decrease in certain equity indices. Such decreases may result in a decrease in variable annuity account values, which would increase the possibility of the Company incurring an expense for guaranteed benefits in excess of account values.  A decrease in variable annuity account values would also result in lower fee income.  A decrease in equity markets may also negatively impact the Company’s investment in equity securities.  The futures income would serve to offset these effects. Futures contracts are also used to hedge against an increase in certain equity indices.  Such increases may result in increased payments to contract holders of fixed indexed annuity contracts, and the futures income would serve to offset this increased expense.

 

Swaptions: Swaptions are used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations portfolio.  Swaptions are contracts that give the Company the option to enter into an interest rate swap at a specific future date.

 

Managed Custody Guarantees: The Company issued certain credited rate guarantees on externally managed variable bond funds that represent stand alone derivatives. The market value is partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in interest rates, prepayment rates, and credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives: The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain retail annuity products, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity rates, or credit ratings/spreads.

Credit Default Swaps

 

The Company has entered into various credit default swaps. When credit default swaps are sold, the Company assumes credit exposure to certain assets that it does not own.

Credit default swaps may also be purchased to reduce credit exposure in the Company’s portfolio. Credit default swaps involve a transfer of credit risk from one party to another in exchange for periodic payments. These instruments are typically written for a maturity period of five years and do not contain recourse provisions, which would enable the seller to recover from third parties. The Company has International Swaps and Derivatives Associations, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements with each counterparty with which it conducts business and tracks the collateral positions for each counterparty. To the extent cash collateral is received, it is included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is reinvested in short-term investments.  Collateral held is used in accordance with the Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of credit default swaps of $6.7 and $14.7 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2009, the fair value of credit default swaps of $0.2 and $53.5 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company on the sale of credit protection under credit default swaps was $625.6 and $84.4, respectively.

5.                                    Capital Contributions, Dividends and Statutory Information

 

ILIAC’s ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any dividend, which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) ten percent (10.0%) of ILIAC’s earned statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2) ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, ILIAC paid a $203.0 dividend on its common stock to its Parent.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, ILIAC did not pay any dividends on its common stock to its Parent. On October 30, 2010, IFA paid a $60.0 dividend to ILIAC, its parent, which was eliminated in consolidation.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, ILIAC did not receive any capital contributions from its Parent. On November 12, 2008, ING issued to The State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”) non-voting Tier 1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion.  On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), of which $365.0 was contributed to the Company.  The contribution was comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch State and the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING.  During 2008, ILIAC did not receive any cash capital contributions from Lion.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

On February 18, 2011, ILIAC received a $150.0 capital contribution from its Parent as part of the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING US Insurance Operations.

 

The State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the “Department”) recognizes as net income and capital and surplus those amounts determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Statutory net income (loss) was $66.0, $271.6, and $(428.4), for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.  Statutory capital and surplus was $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  As specifically prescribed by statutory accounting practices, statutory surplus as of December 31, 2010 included the impact of the $150.0 capital contribution received by ILIAC from its Parent on February 18, 2011.

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43”) for its statutory basis of accounting.  The adoption of AG43 resulted in higher reserves than those calculated under previous standards by $97.9.  Where the application of AG43 produces higher reserves than the Company had otherwise established under previous standards, the Company may request permission from the Department to grade-in the impact of higher reserve over a three year period.  The Company elected this grade-in provision, as allowed under AG43 and as approved by the Department, which allows the Company to reflect the impact of adoption of $97.9 over a three year period.  The impact of the grade-in for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was a $23.0 and $32.6, respectively, increase in reserves and a corresponding decrease in statutory surplus.

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 10R, Income Taxes, for its statutory basis of accounting.  This statement requires the Company to calculate admitted deferred tax assets based upon what is expected to reverse within one year with a cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset of 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement.  If the Company’s risk-based capital (“RBC”) levels, after reflecting the above limitation, exceeds 250% of the authorized control level, the statement increases the limitation on admitted deferred tax assets from what is expected to reverse in one year to what is expected to reverse over the next three years and increases the cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset from 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement to 15%.  Other revisions in the statement include requiring the Company to reduce the gross deferred tax asset by a statutory valuation allowance adjustment if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion of or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. To temper this positive RBC impact, and as a temporary measure at December 31, 2009 only, a 5% pre-tax RBC charge must be applied to the additional admitted deferred tax assets generated by SSAP 10R.  The adoption for 2009 had a December 31, 2009 sunset; however, during 2010, the 2009

adoption, including the 5% pre-tax RBC charge, was extended through December 31, 2011.  The effects on the Company’s statutory financial statements of adopting this change in accounting principle were increases to total assets and capital and surplus of $68.9 and $51.1 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This adoption had no impact on total liabilities or net income.

 

6.                                    Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees

 

The Company calculates an additional liability for certain GMDBs and other minimum guarantees in order to recognize the expected value of these benefits in excess of the projected account balance over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.

 

The Company regularly evaluates estimates used to adjust the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

 

As of December 31, 2010, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.1 billion and $4.4, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.9 billion and $3.6, respectively.

 

The aggregate fair value of equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, was $6.1 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively.

and $5.0, respectively, related to foreign tax credits, the benefit of which is uncertain.  The change in net unrealized capital gains (losses) includes an increase (decrease) in the tax valuation allowance of $(68.7), $(38.2), and $(6.4) for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

Tax Sharing Agreement

 

Under the intercompany tax sharing agreement, ILIAC has a payable to and a receivable from ING AIH of $49.3 and $23.9 for federal income taxes as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

See Related Party Transactions footnote for more information.

The Company had $0.0 and $24.8 of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

 

Interest and Penalties

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income taxes and income tax expense (benefit) on the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Operations, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of $0.0 and $3.3 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in accrued interest during the year ended December 31, 2010 is primarily related to the settlement of the 2004 through 2008 federal audits.

 

Tax Regulatory Matters

 

In September 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s returns through tax year 2008.  The provision for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflected non-recurring favorable adjustments, resulting from a

reduction in the tax liability that was no longer deemed necessary based on the results of the IRS examination, monitoring the activities of the IRS with respect to certain issues with other taxpayers and the merits of the Company’s positions.

 

The Company is currently under audit by the IRS and has agreed to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) for tax years 2009 and 2010.  It is anticipated that the IRS audit of the 2009 tax year will be finalized within the next twelve months.  Upon finalization of the IRS examination, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $23.0.

 

8.                                    Benefit Plans

 

Defined Benefit Plan

 

ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008. The Retirement Plan was amended on July 1, 2008, related to the admission of the employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet LLC (“CitiStreet”) by Lion, and ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Retirement Plan, but has not yet received a favorable determination letter. Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, the Retirement Plan was amended to provide that anyone hired or rehired by the Company on or after January 1, 2009, would not be eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.

 

The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $27.2, $22.3, and $14.0 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

ING North America sponsors the ING Americas Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees, including but not limited to Career Agents) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. Career Agents are certain, full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement

with the Company and certain other individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria.  The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, which includes an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. The Savings Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 and subsequently amended on July 1, 2008, with respect to the admission of employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet by Lion. The Savings Plan was most recently amended effective January 1, 2011 to permit Roth 401(k) contributions to be made to the Plan. ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Plan and received a favorable determination letter dated May 19, 2009. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6.0% of eligible compensation. Matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. The cost allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $10.7, $8.9, and $10.3, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

 

Through December 31, 2001, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, offered certain eligible employees (other than Career Agents) a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and an Excess Plan (collectively, the “SERPs”). Benefit accruals under Aetna Financial Services SERPs ceased, effective as of December 31, 2001 and participants begin accruing benefits under ING North America SERPs.  Benefits under the SERPs are determined based on an eligible employee’s years of service and average annual compensation for the highest five years during the last ten years of employment.

 

The Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (formerly the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Agents Non-Qualified Plan”). This plan covers certain full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria specified in the plan (“Career Agents”). The Agents Non-Qualified Plan was terminated effective January 1, 2002. In connection with the termination, all benefit accruals ceased and all accrued benefits were frozen.

 

The SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, are non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, which means all the SERPs benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and Agents Non-Qualified Plan benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and ING North America. These non-qualified defined benefit pension plans are not guaranteed by the PBGC.

Assumptions

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in the measurement of the December 31, 2010 and 2009 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

 

 

 

2010

 

2009

Discount rate at end of period

 

5.50%

 

6.00%

Rate of compensation increase

 

3.00%

 

1.50%

 

In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries (particularly the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve Liability Index), including a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company’s pension obligation and general movements in the current market environment. The discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio of high quality, noncallable bonds that will match the cash flows of the Retirement Plan. Based upon all available information, it was determined that 5.5% was the appropriate discount rate as of December 31, 2010, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability.

Stock Option and Share Plans

 

Through 2010, ING sponsored the ING Group Long-Term Equity Ownership Plan (“leo”), which provides employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Executive Board with options and/or performance shares.  The terms applicable to an award under leo are set out in an award agreement, which is signed by the participant when he or she accepts the award.

 

Options granted under leo are nonqualified options on ING shares in the form of American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”). Leo options have a ten (10) year term and vest three years from the grant date. Options awarded under leo may vest earlier in the event of the participant’s death, permanent disability or retirement.  Retirement for purposes of leo means a participant terminates service after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years of service.  Early vesting in all or a portion of a grant of options may also occur in the event the participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture. Unvested options are generally subject to forfeiture when a participant voluntarily terminates

 

C-66

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants generally have up to seven years in which to exercise their vested options. A shorter exercise period applies in the event of termination due to redundancy, business divestiture, voluntary termination or termination for cause. An option gives the recipient the right to purchase an ING share in the form of ADRs at a price equal to the fair market value of one ING share on the date of grant. On exercise, participant’s have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the options being exercised, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation.  The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

 

Awards of performance shares may also be made under leo.  Performance shares are a contingent grant of ING stock, and, on vesting, the participant has the right to receive a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Market on the vesting date times the number of vested Plan shares.  Performance shares generally vest three years from the date of grant, with the amount payable based on ING’s share price on the vesting date.  Payments made to participants on vesting are based on the performance targets established in connection with leo and payments can range from 0% to 200% of target.  Performance is based on ING’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group as determined at the end of the vesting period. To vest, a participant must be actively employed on the vesting date, although immediate vesting will occur in the event of the participant’s death, disability or retirement.  If a participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture, vesting will occur but in only a portion of the award. Unvested shares are generally subject to forfeiture when an employee voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo).  Upon vesting, participants have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the shares, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

 

The Company was allocated from ING compensation expense for the leo options and performance shares of $3.4, $3.7, and $4.1, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

For leo, the Company recognized tax benefits of $0.7, $0.1, and $0.7, in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

Commencing in 2011, ING introduced a new long-term equity and deferred bonus plan, the Long-Term Sustainable Performance Plan (“LSPP”).  The terms applicable to an award under the LSPP will be set out in a grant agreement which is signed by the

 

C-67



 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

participant when he or she accepts the award.  The LSPP will provide employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Executive Board with performance shares and will also require deferral of discretionary incentive bonus awards in excess of EU 100,000.  The performance shares awarded under the LSPP will be a contingent grant of ING ADR units and on settlement, the participant will have the right to either receive ING ADR units in kind or a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronent Amsterdam Stock Market on the settlement date times the number of vested ADR units, subject to achievement during the vesting period of performance targets based on return of equity and employee engagement. The excess bonus amount will be held in deferred ING ADR units or in a deferred cash account, or some combination thereof, depending on the total amount of the incentive bonus award, generally subject to vesting in three equal tranches over the three year period commencing on the date of incentive bonus payment.  Unlike the leo plan, no options on ING shares in the form of ADRs will be granted under the LSPP.  To vest in performance shares, deferred shares or deferred cash, an employee must generally be actively employed on the settlement date, although immediate full and partial vesting in the event of normal age or early retirement, death or disability, or termination due to redundancy or business divestiture will occur, similar to the vesting treatment in the leo plan.

 

In addition, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the following benefit plans:

 

§

The ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents, which allows participants to defer a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company match equals 60% of a participant’s pre-tax deferral contribution, with a maximum of 6% of the participant’s eligible pay. A request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents was filed with the IRS on January 1, 2008. A favorable determination letter was received dated January 5, 2011.

§

The Producers’ Incentive Savings Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches such pre-tax contributions at specified amounts.

§

The Producers’ Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis.

§

Certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and their eligible dependents. The post retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually and the Company subsidizes a portion of the monthly per-participant premium. Beginning August 1, 2009, the Company moved from self-insuring these costs and began to use a private-fee-for-service Medicare Advantage program for post-Medicare eligible retired participants. In addition, effective October 1, 2009, the Company no longer subsidizes medical premium costs for early retirees. This change does not impact any participant currently retired and receiving coverage under the plan or any employee who is eligible for coverage under the plan and whose employment ended before October

§

The ING Americas Deferred Compensation Savings Plan, which is a deferred compensation plan that includes a 401(k) excess component.

 

The benefit charges allocated to the Company related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, were $11.9, $12.1, and $13.9, respectively.

Investment Advisory and Other Fees

 

Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement to serve as investment advisor to certain variable funds offered in Company products (collectively, the “Company Funds”), was assigned to DSL. ILIAC is also compensated by the separate accounts for bearing mortality and expense risks pertaining to variable life and annuity contracts. Under the insurance and annuity contracts, the separate accounts pay ILIAC daily fees that, on an annual basis are, depending on the product, up to 3.4% of their average daily net assets. The total amount of compensation and fees received by the Company from the Company Funds and separate accounts totaled $246.1, $212.3, and $255.2, (excludes fees paid to ING Investment Management Co.) in 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

 

DSL has been retained by ING Investors Trust (“IIT”), an affiliate, pursuant to a management agreement to provide advisory, management, administrative and other services to IIT. Under the management agreement, DSL provides or arranges for the provision of all services necessary for the ordinary operations of IIT. DSL earns a monthly fee based on a percentage of average daily net assets of IIT. DSL has entered into an administrative services subcontract with ING Fund Services, LLC, an affiliate, pursuant to which ING Fund Services, LLC, provides certain management, administrative and other services to IIT and is compensated a portion of the fees received by DSL under the management agreement. In addition to being the investment advisor of the Trust, DSL is the investment advisor of ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”), an affiliate. DSL and the Fund have an investment advisory agreement, whereby DSL has overall responsibility to provide portfolio management services for the Fund. The Fund pays DSL a monthly fee, net of sub advisory fees, which is based on a percentage of average daily net assets. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, revenue received by DSL under these agreements (exclusive of fees paid to affiliates) was $314.3, $270.0, and $323.8, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, DSL had $25.1 and $25.3, respectively, receivable from IIT under the management agreement.

 

Financing Agreements

 

Reciprocal Loan Agreement

 

The Company maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH, an affiliate, to facilitate the handling of unanticipated short-term cash requirements that arise in the ordinary course of business. Under this agreement, which became effective in June 2001 and expires on April 1, 2011, either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of the Company’s statutory admitted assets as of the preceding December 31.  Interest on any Company borrowing is charged at the rate of ING AIH’s cost of funds for the interest period, plus 0.15%.  Interest on any ING AIH borrowing is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration.

Under this agreement, the Company incurred an immaterial amount of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and $0.2 for the year ended December 31, 2008, and earned interest income of $0.9, $1.0 and $4.8, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.

Note with Affiliate

 

On December 29, 2004, ING USA issued a surplus note in the principal amount of $175.0 (the “Note”) scheduled to mature on December 29, 2034, to ILIAC, in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. ILIAC’s $175.0 Note from ING USA bears interest at a rate of 6.26% per year. Interest is scheduled to be paid semi-annually in arrears on June 29 and December 29 of each year, commencing on June 29, 2005. Interest income was $11.1 for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

 

Property and Equipment Sale

 

During the second quarter of 2009, ING’s U.S. life insurance companies, including the Company, sold a portion of its property and equipment in a sale/leaseback transaction to an affiliate, ING North America.  The fixed assets involved in the sale were capitalized assets generally depreciated over the expected useful lives and software in development. Since the assets were being depreciated using expected useful lives, the current net book value reasonably approximated the current fair value of the assets being transferred. The fixed assets sold to ING North America by the Company totaled $17.4.

 

Transfer of Registered Representatives

 

On January 1, 2011, IFA transferred a group of registered representatives and their related customer accounts to its broker-dealer affiliate, ING Financial Partners, Inc. and received $5.0 as consideration for the transfer.  Effective January 1, 2011, IFA will operate exclusively as a wholesale broker-dealer.

 

 

10.                            Financing Agreements

 

Revolving Note Facility

 

ILIAC maintains a $50.0 uncommitted, perpetual revolving note facility with the Bank of New York (“BONY”).  Interest on any of ILIAC’s borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to a rate quoted by BONY to ILIAC for the borrowing.  Under this agreement,

ILIAC incurred no interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the revolving note facility.

 

Windsor Property Loan

 

On June 16, 2007, the State of Connecticut acting by the Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”) loaned ILIAC $9.9 (the “DECD Loan”) in connection with the development of the corporate office facility located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut that serves as the principal executive offices of the Company (the “Windsor Property”). The loan has a term of twenty years and bears an annual interest rate of 1.00%. As long as no defaults have occurred under the loan, no payments of principal or interest are due for the initial ten years of the loan. For the second ten years of the DECD Loan term, ILIAC is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest.

 

The DECD Loan provided for loan forgiveness during the first five years of the term at varying amounts up to $5.0 if ILIAC and its affiliates met certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during that period.  On December 1, 2008, the DECD determined that the Company had met the employment thresholds for loan forgiveness and, accordingly, forgave $5.0 of the DECD Loan to ILIAC in accordance with the terms of the DECD Loan. The DECD Loan provides additional loan forgiveness at varying amounts up to $4.9 if ILIAC and its ING affiliates meet certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during years five through ten of the loan. ILIAC’s obligations under the DECD Loan are secured by an unlimited recourse guaranty from its affiliate, ING North America Insurance Corporation.

 

At both December 31, 2010 and 2009, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4.9 which was reflected in Notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11.                            Reinsurance

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company had reinsurance treaties with 6 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts.  At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any outstanding cessions under any reinsurance treaties with affiliated reinsurers.  The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

 

On October 1, 1998, the Company disposed of its individual life insurance business under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with a subsidiary of Lincoln for $1.0 billion in cash.  Under the agreement, the Lincoln subsidiary contractually assumed from the

Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated to contract owners.  The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

 

The Company assumed $25.0 of premium revenue from Aetna Life, for the purchase and administration of a life contingent single premium variable payout annuity contract. In addition, the Company is also responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made to annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $11.5 and $11.6 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Reinsurance ceded in force for life mortality risks were $17.4 billion and $18.6 billion at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, net receivables were comprised of the following:

Leases

 

Prior to December 31, 2008, the Company leased certain office space and certain equipment under various operating leases and paid substantially all expenses associated with its leased and subleased office properties. Any expenses not paid directly by the Company were paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company.  However, as of December 31, 2008, all of the Company’s expenses for leased and subleased office properties will be paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company, as all operating leases were terminated or consolidated by ING AIH during the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in the Company no longer being party to any operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, rent expense for leases was $4.0, $5.1, and $6.1, respectively.

Commitments

 

Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield.  The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost.  Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments.

 

At December 31, 2010, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $336.3, of which $144.0 was with related parties.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $305.1, of which $218.5 was with related parties.  During 2010 and 2009, $69.1 and $46.8, respectively, was funded to related parties under these commitments.

 

Collateral

 

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter Derivative ISDA Agreements (“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 CSA.  The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company held $4.7, of cash collateral, which was included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not hold any cash collateral. In addition, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company delivered collateral of $93.8 and $130.3, respectively, in fixed maturities pledged under derivatives contracts, which was included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/ arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages, and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

Regulatory Matters

 

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry.  Some of these investigations and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company.  The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company or its affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, fines, and other financial liability.  It is not currently anticipated that the outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.  It is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.
