Dear Farmers Client:

Farmers Life^® is pleased to continue with our customized process for producing and distributing semi-annual reports to our Farmers Variable Life and Variable Annuity customers.

Your customized semi-annual report is enclosed. The report provides an update on the relevant portfolios’ performance as of June 30, 2012. Portfolio performance does not take into account the fees charged by your policy or contract. If these fees had been included, the performance would have been lower. As always, past performance cannot predict or guarantee future returns.

We hope that the enclosed information is helpful. If you have any questions concerning your policy or contract, please do not hesitate to call your Farmers Insurance and Financial Services Agent or our Service Center toll-free, at (877) 376-8008.

Also, please take note of our e-Delivery service, where you can choose to receive these and similar documents electronically. The service is easy, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve your insurance needs.

Sincerely,

Harris Mortensen

Assistant Vice President,
