In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of the Separate Account since 2024.

The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Unit Investment Trust pursuant to provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TLIC and the Separate Account are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The assets and liabilities of the Separate Account are clearly identified and distinguished from TLIC's other assets and liabilities. The Separate Account consists of multiple investment subaccounts.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Investments
 
Net purchase payments received by the Separate Account are invested in the portfolios of the Mutual Funds as selected by the contract owner. Investments are stated at the closing net asset values per share on December 31, 2025.
 
Realized capital gains and losses from sales of shares in the Separate Account are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Mutual Funds are included in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
 
Dividend Income
 
Dividends received from the Mutual Fund investments are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.
 
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy
 
The Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
 
The Separate Account has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is 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.
 
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities 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
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. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
All investments in the Mutual Funds included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon published closing NAV per share and therefore are considered Level 1.
 
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2025.

(1) See Footnote 1
 
* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the Mutual Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Mutual Fund in which the subaccounts invest.
 
** These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the subaccount, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the Mutual Fund have been excluded.
 
*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Mutual Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Total returns reflect a full twelve month period and total returns for subaccounts opened during the year have not been disclosed as they may not be indicative of a full year return. Expense ratios not in effect for the full twelve months are not reflected in the total return as they may not be indicative of a full year return.

6. Administrative and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
 
TLIC deducts a daily administrative charge equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net assets value of each subaccount for administrative expenses.  An annual charge ranging from 0.50% to 2.35% is deducted (based on the death benefit selected) from the unit values of the subaccounts of the Separate Account for TLIC's assumption of certain mortality and expense risks incurred in connection with the contract.  The charge is assessed daily based on the net asset value of the Mutual Fund.  Charges for administrative and mortality and expense risk are an expense of the subaccount.  Charges reflected above are those currently assessed and may be subject to change.  Contract owners should see their actual policy and any related attachments to determine their specific charges.
 
7. Income Tax
 
Operations of the Separate Account form a part of TLIC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The operations of the Separate Account are accounted for separately from other operations of TLIC for purposes of federal income taxation. The Separate Account is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise taxable as an entity separate from TLIC. Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Separate Account is not taxable to TLIC, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.

10. Segment Reporting
 
Each fund of the Separate Account constitutes a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment because the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) manages the activities of the Separate Account using information of each fund. The Separate Account is engaged in a single line of business as a registered unit investment trust. The Separate Account is a funding vehicle for individual variable annuity contracts with the assets owned by TLIC to support the liabilities of the applicable insurance contracts. The subaccounts have identified the President and Chief Operating Officer as the CODM as the Separate Account does not have employees and is not a separate legal entity.
 
The CODM uses increase (decrease) in net assets from operations as their performance measure in order to make operational decisions while monitoring the net assets of each of the funds within the Separate Account. The Accounting policies used to measure profit and loss of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see note 2). The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Refer to the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets for each fund’s operating segment and related footnotes for significant expenses principle and the existing segment requirements as of December 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
