NYLIAC Variable Annuity Separate Account-IV

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

NYLIAC Variable Annuity Separate Account-IV (the “Separate Account”) was established on June 10, 2003, under Delaware law by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“NYLIAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company (“NYLIC”). The Separate Account funds Series I policies (New York Life Elite Variable Annuity, New York Life Premium Plus Elite Variable Annuity and New York Life Longevity Benefit Variable Annuity), Series II policies (New York Life Premier Variable Annuity), Series III policies (New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity), Series IV policies (New York Life Flexible Premium Variable Annuity II), Series V policies (New York Life Premier Variable Annuity II), Series VI policies (New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity II), Series VII policies (New York Life Flexible Premium Variable Annuity III) and Series VIII policies (New York Life Premier Variable Annuity - FP Series). Effective July 27, 2009, sales of the New York Life Longevity Benefit Variable Annuity were discontinued. Effective August 16, 2010, sales of the New York Life Elite Variable Annuity and New York Life Premium Plus Elite Variable Annuity were discontinued. Effective May 1, 2016, sales of the Series II policies (New York Life Premier Variable Annuity), Series III policies (New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity) and Series IV policies (New York Life Flexible Premium Variable Annuity II) were discontinued.

NYLIAC established the Separate Account to receive and invest premium payments under Non-Qualified Deferred and Tax-Qualified Deferred Flexible Premium Variable Retirement Annuity Policies (“the policies”) issued by NYLIAC. The Non-Qualified policies are designed to establish retirement benefits to provide individuals with supplemental retirement income. The Tax-Qualified policies are designed to establish retirement benefits for individuals who participate in tax-qualified pension, profit sharing or annuity plans. The policies are distributed by NYLIFE Distributors LLC and sold by registered representatives of NYLIFE Securities LLC, as well as certain banking and financial institutions that have entered into selling agreements with NYLIAC and registered representatives of unaffiliated broker-dealers. NYLIFE Securities LLC and NYLIFE Distributors LLC are both indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of NYLIC. The Separate Account is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust that follows the accounting and reporting guidance under ASC 946.

The assets of the Separate Account are invested in shares of eligible portfolios of the MainStay VP Funds Trust, the AIM Variable Insurance Funds, the American Funds Insurance Series®, the BlackRock® Variable Series Funds, Inc., the BlackRock® Variable Series Funds II, Inc., the BNY Mellon Investment Portfolios, the Columbia Funds Variable Insurance Trust, the Columbia Funds Variable Series Trust II, the Delaware VIP® Trust, the Deutsche DWS Variable Series II, the Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products Fund, the Janus Aspen Series, the Legg Mason Partners Variable Equity Trust, the MFS® Variable Insurance Trust, the MFS® Variable Insurance Trust II, the MFS® Variable Insurance Trust III, the Morgan Stanley Variable Insurance Fund, Inc., the Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust, and the PIMCO Variable Insurance Trust, (collectively “Funds”). These assets are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of NYLIAC. These assets are the property of NYLIAC; however, the portion of the assets attributable to the policies will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business NYLIAC may conduct. The Fixed Account and the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Advantage Account represent a portion of the general account assets of NYLIAC and are not included in this report. NYLIAC’s Fixed Account and the DCA Advantage Account may be charged with liabilities arising out of other business NYLIAC may conduct.

NYLIAC Variable Annuity Separate Account-IV

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):

New investments in the MainStay VP Candriam Emerging Markets Equity, MainStay VP T. Rowe Price Equity Income, MainStay VP Wellington Growth and Columbia Variable Portfolio—Commodity Strategy Fund Investment Divisions are restricted to those policies already invested in these Investment Divisions.

For all policies within Series I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII and VIII initial premium payments are allocated to the Investment Divisions, Fixed Account and/or DCA Advantage Account within two business days after receipt. Subsequent premium payments for flexible premium

policies are generally allocated to the Investment Divisions, Fixed Account and/or DCA Advantage Account at the close of the business day they are received in accordance with the policyowner’s allocation instructions. In those states where NYLIAC offered a single

premium version of the Series I, II and III policies, only one premium payment was permitted. In addition, the policyowner has the option to transfer amounts between the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account or from the DCA Advantage Account into the Investment

Divisions. The policyowner may also transfer interest earned on monies in the Fixed Account into the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account. On the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets, all references to the Fixed Account include the Fixed Account and the DCA Advantage Account.

No Federal income tax is payable on investment income or capital gains of the Separate Account under current Federal income tax law.

Security Valuation—The investments are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares of the respective Fund portfolios.

Security Transactions—Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the identified cost basis. Security transactions are accounted for as of the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).

Distributions Received—Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and reinvested in the corresponding Fund portfolio.

The authoritative guidance defines fair value as 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. The authoritative guidance also establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are based on the inputs to the valuation as follows:

Level 1—Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Active markets are defined as a market in which many transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset.

Level 3—Instruments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability.

Investment in the mutual funds represent open-end mutual funds in which the valuation is based on the aggregate NAV of the shares held at the valuation date, which represents fair value, and are classified as level 1.

The amounts shown as net receivable from (payable to) NYLIAC on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflect transactions that occurred on the last business day of the reporting period. These amounts will be deposited to or withdrawn from the separate account in accordance with the policyowners’ instructions on the first business day subsequent to the close of the period presented. The amounts shown as net receivable from (payable to) the Fund for shares sold or purchased represent unsettled trades.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Each Investment Division of the Separate Account indirectly bears exposure to the market, credit and liquidity risks of the Fund portfolio in which it invests. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes of the Fund portfolios.

For New York Life Elite Variable Annuity policies, which are part of Series I, this charge is 8% during the first three payment years and declines by 1% per year for each additional payment year, until the eighth payment year, after which no charge is made. In those states where NYLIAC offered a single premium version of New York Life Elite Variable Annuity the surrender charge was lower. For New York Life Premium Plus Elite Variable Annuity and New York Life Longevity Benefit Variable Annuity policies, which are also part of Series I, this charge is 8% during the first three payment years and declines to 7% in the fourth payment year, 6% in the fifth payment year, 5% in the sixth payment year, 4% in the seventh payment year and 3% in the eighth, ninth and tenth payment year, after which no charge is made.

This charge is $30 per policy.

Additionally, NYLIAC reserves the right to charge Series I, II, III, IV, V, VII, VII and VIII policies, $30 for each transfer in excess of 12 in any one policy year, subject to certain restrictions.

Separate Account policyowners may pay certain Fund portfolio company operating expenses during the time they own their policy, which are reflected in the daily computation of NAVs for the Funds. NYLIAC may receive payment or compensation from the Funds resulting from certain of these operating expenses in connection with the administration, distribution and other services it provides to the Funds, some of whom may be affiliates of NYLIAC. Management Fees (which may include administration and/or advisory fees) range from 0.00% to 1.00%, distribution (12b-1) fees range from 0.00% to 0.30%, and other expenses range from 0.00% to 0.77%. These ranges are shown as a percentage of average net assets as of December 31, 2020, and approximate the ranges as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE 4—Distribution of Net Income:

The Separate Account does not expect to declare dividends to policyowners from accumulated net investment income and realized gains. The income and gains are distributed to policyowners as part of withdrawals of amounts (in the form of surrenders, death benefits, transfers, or annuity payments) in excess of the net premium payments.

1     Total returns are not annualized for periods less than a year. These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying 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 returns are calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

2     These amounts represent the dividends excluding distributions of capital gains, received by an Investment Division from the underlying Fund, net of management fees assessed by the Fund manager, divided by the average investment at 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 Investment Division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Fund in which the Investment Division invests. Annualized percentages are shown for the Investment Income Ratio for all Investment Divisions in all periods.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation:

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying statutory financial statements of New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the statutory statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statutory statements of operations, of changes in capital and surplus, and of cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware State Insurance Department described in Note 2.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the accompanying financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for the years then ended.

Basis for Opinions

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

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware State Insurance Department, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are material.

Emphasis of Matter

As disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has entered into significant related party transactions with New York Life Insurance Company and its affiliates. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

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

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

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

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (“the Company”), domiciled in the State of Delaware, is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company (“New York Life”). The Company’s primary business operations are its life and annuity business and its investment management activities. The Company offers a wide variety of interest sensitive and variable life insurance and annuity products to a large cross section of the insurance market. The Company markets its products in all 50 states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, primarily through New York Life’s career agency force, with certain products also marketed through independent brokers, brokerage general agents and banks.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware State Insurance Department (“DSID”) or “statutory accounting practices”), which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The DSID recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware for determining and reporting the financial position and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Delaware State Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Delaware. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include state laws and regulations. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass accounting practices that are not prescribed; such practices differ from state to state, may differ from company to company within a state, and may change in the future. The Company has no permitted practices.

Prior Period Corrections

In 2021, the Company corrected its assumption of the duration in which bank owned life insurance policies paid premiums under the Universal Life Commissioners Reserve Valuation Methodology. As a result, the Company recorded prior period corrections decreasing surplus by $77 million in 2021.

In 2019, the Company evaluated its reserves for the fixed deferred annuity product with guaranteed income benefits dating back to 2014. As a result of the evaluation, the Company reduced its reserves and recorded a prior period correction to increase surplus by $64 million after-tax in 2019.

In 2019, the Company determined it had understated its federal income tax benefits related to income on certain investments in tax exempt municipal bonds. As a result, the Company recorded a prior period correction increasing surplus by $25 million in 2019, reflecting the impact for the years 2014-2018.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Management is also required to disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Bonds

Bonds are stated at amortized cost using the interest method. Bonds in or near default (rated NAIC 6) are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Refer to Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation approach and methods for bonds.

Under NAIC SAP, certain Securities Valuation Office ("SVO")-Identfied Investments which include certain SVO approved exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and mutual funds are eligible for classification as bonds as identified in the NAIC’s SVO Purposes and Procedure Manual. SVO-Identified bond ETFs are stated at fair value and reported as bonds.The interest method for loan-backed and structured securities, which are included in bonds, uses current assumptions of projected cash flows. Amortization of premium or accretion of discount from the purchase of these securities considers the estimated timing and amount of cash flows of the underlying loans, including prepayment assumptions based on data obtained from external sources or internal estimates. Projected future cash flows are updated monthly, and the amortized cost and effective yield of the securities are adjusted as necessary to reflect historical prepayment experience and changes in estimated future prepayments. For high credit quality loan-backed and structured securities (those rated AA or above at the date of acquisition), the adjustments to amortized cost are recorded as a charge or credit to net investment income in accordance with the retrospective method. For loan-backed and structured securities that are not of high credit quality (those rated below AA at date of acquisition), certain floating rate securities and securities with the potential for a loss of a portion of the original investment due to contractual prepayments (e.g., interest only securities), the effective yield is adjusted prospectively for any changes in estimated cash flows.

All acquisitions of securities are recorded in the financial statements on a trade date basis except for the acquisitions of private placement bonds, which are recorded on the funding date.

Preferred Stocks

Redeemable preferred stocks in “good standing” (NAIC designation of 1 to 3) are valued at amortized cost. Redeemable preferred stocks “not in good standing” (NAIC designation of 4 to 6) are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Perpetual preferred stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock are valued at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price. Refer to Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation approach and methods for preferred stocks.

Common Stocks

Common stocks include the Company’s investments in unaffiliated stocks, which includes investments in shares of SEC registered investment funds as well as regulated foreign open-end investment funds, which are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in surplus, net of deferred taxes. Refer to Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation approach and methods for common stocks.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Other than Temporary Impairments

The cost basis of bonds and equity securities is adjusted for impairments in value that are deemed to be other than temporary. An other-than-temporary loss is recognized in net income when it is anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. Factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary include: (1) whether the decline is substantial; (2) the duration that the fair value has been less than cost; (3) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and (4) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in value.

When a bond (other than loan-backed and structured securities), preferred stock or common stock is deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, the difference between the investment's amortized cost and its fair value is recognized as a realized loss and reported in net income if the loss is credit related, or deferred in the interest maintenance reserve ("IMR") if interest related for bonds.

For loan-backed and structured securities, the entire difference between the security’s amortized cost and its fair value is recognized in net income only when the Company (1) has the intent to sell the security or (2) it does not have the intent and ability to hold the security to recovery. If neither of these two conditions exists, a realized loss is recognized in net income for the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the net present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected. The net present value is calculated by discounting the Company’s best estimate of projected future cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the loan-backed or structured security prior to impairment.

The determination of cash flow estimates in the net present value calculation is subjective and methodologies will vary, depending on the type of security. The Company considers all information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonably supportable assumptions and forecasts in developing the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. This information generally includes, but may not be limited to, the remaining payment terms of the security, estimated prepayment speeds, defaults, recoveries upon liquidation of the underlying collateral securing the notes, the financial condition of the issuer(s), credit enhancements and other third-party guarantees. In addition, other information, such as industry analyst reports and forecasts, sector credit ratings, the financial condition of the bond insurer for insured fixed income securities and other market data relevant to the collectability may also be considered, as well as the expected timing of the receipt of insured payments, if any. The estimated fair value of the collateral may be used to estimate recovery value if the Company determines that the security is dependent on the liquidation of the collateral for recovery.

The new cost basis of an impaired security is not adjusted for subsequent increases in estimated fair value. In periods subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), the impaired bond security is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis may be accreted (or amortized) into net investment income in future periods based on prospective changes in cash flow estimates, to reflect adjustments to the effective yield.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at unpaid principal balances, net of discounts, premiums, deferred origination fees related to points, and specific valuation allowances, and are collateralized. Specific valuation allowances are established for the excess carrying value of the mortgage loan over the estimated fair value of the collateral as an unrealized loss in surplus when it is probable that based on current information and events, the Company will be unable to collect amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fair value of the collateral is estimated by performing an internal or external current appraisal. If impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, which can include a loan modification that qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), a direct write-down is recognized as a realized loss reported in net income, and a new cost basis for the individual mortgage loan, which is equal to the fair value of the collateral, less costs to obtain and sell, is established. Refer to Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements for a discussion of the valuation approach and methods for mortgage loans.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The Company accrues interest income on mortgage loans to the extent it is deemed collectible. The Company places loans on non-accrual status, and ceases to recognize interest income when management determines that the collection of interest and repayment of principal is not probable. Any accrued but uncollected interest is reversed out of interest income once a loan is put on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on mortgage loans where interest payments have been deemed uncollectible are recognized on a cash basis and recorded as interest income.If a determination is made that the principal will not be collected, the interest payment received is used to reduce the principal balance. If a mortgage loan has any investment income due and accrued that is 90 days past due and collectible, the investment income will continue to accrue but all accrued interest related to the mortgage loan is reported as a nonadmitted asset, until such time that it has been paid or is deemed uncollectible.

Policy Loans

Policy loans are stated at the aggregate balance due. The excess of the unpaid balance of a policy loan that exceeds the cash surrender value is nonadmitted.

Other Invested Assets

Investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies, including equity investments in affiliated entities organized as limited liability companies, which have admissible audits are carried at the underlying audited equity of the investee. The Company nonadmits the entire investment when an admissible audit is not performed. The financial statements of equity method investees are usually not received in time for the Company to apply the equity method at each reporting period. Therefore, the equity pick-up on these investments has been recorded on a one to three-month lag.

The cost basis of limited partnerships and limited liability companies is adjusted for impairments in value deemed to be other-than-temporary, with the difference between cost and carrying value, which approximates fair value, recognized as a realized loss reported in net income. The new cost basis of an impaired limited partnership or limited liability company is not adjusted for subsequent increases in the underlying audited equity of the investee.

Dividends and distributions from limited partnerships and limited liability companies, other than those deemed a return of capital, are recorded in net investment income. Undistributed earnings are included in unrealized gains and losses and are reflected in surplus, net of deferred taxes.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) investments, which are included in other invested assets, are recorded at proportional amortized cost and include remaining unfunded commitments. The carrying value of the investment is amortized into income in proportion to the actual and projected future amounts of tax credits and deductible losses. The amortization is recorded through net investment income.

Real estate includes properties that are directly-owned and real estate property investments that are directly and wholly-owned through a limited liability company and meet certain criteria. Real estate held for the production of income is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and encumbrances. Real estate held for sale is stated at the lower of cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value, less encumbrances and estimated costs to sell. If there is an indication that the carrying amount of the real estate may not be recoverable, then it must be tested for impairment. If the carrying amount of a real estate investment exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, an OTTI is recorded as a realized loss in net income, calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the real estate investment and the fair value of the real estate investment. Depreciation of real estate held for the production of income is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets, generally 40 years. Costs of permanent improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful life, or the remaining estimated life of the real estate.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments that qualify and are designated for hedge accounting are valued in a manner consistent with the items being hedged. Periodic payments and receipts on these derivatives are recorded on an accrual basis within net investment income for hedges of fixed income securities, other income for hedges of liabilities. Net realized gains and losses are recognized upon termination or maturity of these contracts in a manner consistent with the hedged item and when subject to the IMR, are transferred to the IMR, net of taxes.

To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception, which means any time prior to the first quarterly hedge effectiveness assessment date, by detailing the particular risk, management objective and strategy for the hedge. This includes the item and risk that is being hedged, the derivative that is being used, as well as how effectiveness is being assessed. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the objective of offsetting either changes in fair value or cash flows for the risk being hedged. The hedging relationship is considered highly effective if the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument are within 80% to 125% of the inverse changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. The Company formally assesses effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on a quarterly basis over the life of the hedge relationship in accordance with its risk management policy. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness qualitatively on a quarterly basis if (1) the initial quantitative prospective assessment demonstrates that the relationship is expected to be highly effective and (2) at inception, the Company is able to reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness on a qualitative basis in subsequent periods. The Company continually assesses the credit standing of the derivative counterparty and, if the counterparty is deemed to be no longer creditworthy, the hedge relationship will no longer be considered effective.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively if: (1) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expired or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, or (4) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.

Derivative instruments that do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in surplus as unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes. Periodic payments and receipts on these derivatives are recorded on an accrual basis within net investment income for hedges of fixed income securities and other income for hedges of liabilities. Upon termination or maturity the gains or losses on these contracts are recognized in net realized capital gains and losses, net of taxes. Realized gains or losses on terminated or matured derivatives, which are subject to the IMR, are transferred to the IMR, net of taxes.

The Company also uses derivatives as part of replication transactions. Replication transactions refer to derivative transactions entered into in conjunction with other investments in order to reproduce the investment characteristics of otherwise permissible investments. The accounting for derivatives used in replication transactions depends upon how the underlying cash instrument is accounted for, as well as how the replicated asset would be accounted for if acquired directly; alternatively, the Company can elect to carry the derivative at fair value. The Company uses bonds as the referenced cash instrument in its current replication transactions, and therefore, the derivatives are carried at amortized cost. The Company accrues investment income for the replicated synthetic asset throughout the life of the replication transaction. Realized gains or losses at maturity of the replication transaction, which are subject to the IMR, are transferred to the IMR, net of tax.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and highly liquid debt instruments that have original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase and are carried at amortized cost. Cash and cash equivalents also include money market mutual funds which are stated at fair value. Short-term investments consist of securities with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months at the time of acquisition and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") and IMR

The AVR is used to stabilize surplus from fluctuations in the fair value of bonds, stocks, mortgage loans, real estate and other invested assets. Changes in the AVR are accounted for as direct increases or decreases in surplus. The IMR captures interest related realized gains and losses on sales (net of taxes) of bonds, preferred stocks, mortgage loans, interest related other-than-temporary impairments (net of taxes) and realized gains or losses (net of taxes) on terminated interest rate related derivatives which are amortized into net income over the expected years to maturity of the investments sold or the item being hedged using the grouped method. An interest related other-than-temporary impairment occurs when the Company has the intent to sell an investment at the reporting date, before recovery of the cost of the investment. For loan-backed and structured securities, the non-interest related other-than-temporary impairment is booked to the AVR, and the interest related portion to the IMR.

Loaned Securities and Repurchase Agreements

The Company enters into securities lending agreements whereby certain investment securities are loaned to third-parties. Securities loaned are treated as financing arrangements. With respect to securities loaned, in order to reduce the Company’s risk under these transactions, the Company requires initial cash collateral equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned. The Company records an offsetting liability in amounts payable under security lending agreements. The Company monitors the fair value of securities loaned with additional collateral obtained as necessary. The borrower of the loaned securities is permitted to sell or repledge those securities.

The Company enters into dollar roll repurchase agreements to sell and repurchase securities. Assets to be repurchased are the same, or substantially the same, as the assets sold. The Company agrees to sell securities at a specified price and repurchase the securities at a lower price. The Company receives cash in the amount of the sales proceeds and establishes a liability equal to the repurchase amount. The difference between the sale and repurchase amounts represents deferred income which is earned over the life of the agreement. The liability for repurchasing the assets is included in other liabilities.

The Company enters into tri-party reverse repurchase agreements to purchase and resell short-term securities. The Company receives securities as collateral, having a fair value at least equal to 102% of the purchase price paid by the Company for the securities and the Company’s designated custodian takes possession of this collateral. The Company is not permitted to sell or repledge these securities. The collateral is not recorded on the Company’s financial statements. However, if the counterparty defaults, the Company would then exercise its rights with respect to the collateral, including a sale of the collateral. The fair value of the securities held as collateral is monitored daily and additional collateral is obtained, where appropriate, to protect against credit exposure. The Company records the amount paid for securities purchased under agreements to resell in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Premiums and Related Expenses

Life premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Commissions and other costs associated with acquiring new business are charged to operations as incurred. Amounts received or paid under deposit type contracts without mortality or morbidity risk are not reported as income or benefits but are recorded directly as an adjustment to the liability for deposit funds.

Net Investment Income

Income from investments, including amortization of premium, accrual of discount and similar items, as well as income from prepayment penalties, is recorded within net investment income, unless otherwise stated herein.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Policy Reserves

Policy reserves are based on mortality tables and valuation interest rates, which are consistent with statutory requirements and are designed to be sufficient to provide for contractual benefits. The Company holds reserves greater than those developed under the minimum statutory reserving rules when the valuation actuary determines that the minimum statutory reserves are inadequate. Actual results could differ from these estimates and may result in the establishment of additional reserves. The valuation actuary monitors actual experience and, where circumstances warrant, revises assumptions and the related estimates for policy reserves. Refer to Note 12 - Insurance Liabilities for discussion of reserves in excess of minimum NAIC requirements.

Federal Income Taxes

Current federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year and any adjustments to such estimates from prior years. Deferred federal income tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred federal income tax liabilities (“DTLs”) are recognized for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between statutory and taxable income. Temporary differences are identified and measured using a balance sheet approach whereby statutory and tax balance sheets are compared. Changes in DTAs and DTLs are recognized as a separate component of surplus (except for the net deferred taxes related to investments, which are included in unrealized gains and losses). Net DTAs are admitted to the extent permissible under NAIC SAP. Gross DTAs are reduced by a statutory valuation allowance, if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the gross DTA will not be realized. The Company is required to establish a tax loss contingency if it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained. The amount of the contingency reserve is management’s best estimate of the amount of the original tax benefit that could be reversed upon audit, unless the best estimate is greater than 50% of the original tax benefit, in which case the reserve is equal to the entire tax benefit.

The Company is a member of an affiliated group, which files a consolidated federal income tax return with New York Life. The consolidated income tax provision or benefit is allocated among the members of the group in accordance with a tax allocation agreement. This tax allocation agreement provides that the Company computes its share of the consolidated tax provision or benefit, in general, on a separate company basis, and may, where applicable, include the tax benefits of operating or capital losses utilizable in the New York Life's consolidated returns. Intercompany tax balances are settled quarterly on an estimated basis with a final settlement occurring within 30 days of the filing of the consolidated tax return. Current federal income taxes are charged or credited to operations based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year and any adjustments to such estimates from prior years.

Separate Accounts

The Company has established both non-guaranteed and guaranteed separate accounts with varying investment objectives which are segregated from the Company’s general account and are maintained for the benefit of separate accounts policyholders. Assets held in non-guaranteed separate accounts are stated at market value. Assets held in guaranteed separate accounts are carried at the same basis as the general account up to the value of policyholder reserves and at fair value thereafter.

The liability for separate accounts represents policyholders’ interests in the separate accounts assets, excluding liabilities representing due and accrued transfers to the general account. The liability for non-guaranteed separate accounts represents policyholders’ interests in the separate accounts assets, including accumulated net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on those assets. For the guaranteed separate accounts, the liability represents amounts due to policyholders pursuant to the terms of the contract.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Other Assets and Liabilities

Other assets primarily consist of net DTAs and other receivables.

Other liabilities primarily consist of payable to parent, derivative liabilities, amounts payable for undelivered securities and reinsurance payables.

Nonadmitted Assets

Under statutory accounting practices, certain assets are designated as nonadmitted assets and are not included in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position since these assets are not permitted by the DSID to be taken into account in determining the Company’s financial condition.

Nonadmitted assets typically include agents’ debit balances, DTAs not realizable within three years, and receivables over ninety days past due. Changes to nonadmitted assets are reported as a direct adjustment to surplus in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Insurance Liabilities

Fair value of various assets and liabilities are included throughout the notes to the financial statements. Specifically, fair value disclosure of investments held is reported in Note 6 - Investments. Fair values for derivative instruments are included in Note 7 - Derivative Instruments and Risk Management. Fair values for insurance liabilities are reported in Note 12 - Insurance Liabilities. The aggregate fair value of all financial instruments summarized by type is included in Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements.

Contingencies

Amounts related to contingencies are accrued if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable.

At the inception of a guarantee, the Company recognizes an initial liability at fair value for the obligations it has undertaken, regardless of the probability of performance under the guarantee.

Foreign Currency Transactions

For foreign currency items, income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period, while assets and liabilities are translated using the spot rate in effect at the date of the statements. Changes in the asset and liability values due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded as unrealized capital gains and losses in surplus until the asset is sold or exchanged or the liability is settled. Upon settlement, previously recorded unrealized capital gains and losses are reversed, and the foreign exchange gain or loss for the entire holding period is recorded as a realized capital gain or loss in net income.

NOTE 4 - BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is exposed to an array of risks, including, but not limited to, regulatory actions, financial risk, risks associated with its investments and operational risk, including cyber security.

The Company is regulated by the insurance departments of the states and territories where it is licensed to do business. Although the federal government does not directly regulate the business of insurance, federal legislation and administrative policies can significantly and adversely affect the insurance industry and the Company. The Company is unable to predict whether any administrative or legislative proposals, at either the federal or state level, will be adopted in the future, or the effect, if any, such proposals would have on the Company.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4 - BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

The Company's insurance liabilities and assets under management are exposed to market risk, policyholder behavior risk and mortality/longevity risk. Market volatility and other equity market conditions may affect the Company’s exposure to risks related to guaranteed death benefits and guaranteed living benefits on variable annuity and certain variable universal life products. Furthermore, the level of sales of the Company’s insurance and investment products is influenced by many factors, including general market rates of interest, the strength, weakness and volatility of equity markets, and terms and conditions of competing products.

The Company is exposed to the risks normally associated with an investment portfolio, which include interest rate, liquidity, credit and counterparty risks. The Company controls its exposure to these risks by, among other things, closely monitoring and managing the duration and cash flows of its assets and liabilities, maintaining a large percentage of its portfolio in highly liquid securities, engaging in a disciplined process of underwriting, reviewing and monitoring credit risk, and by devoting significant resources to develop and periodically update its risk management policies and procedures.

The Company leverages technology systems and solutions to conduct business and to retain, store, protect, and manage confidential information. The failure of the Company’s technology systems and solutions, or those of a vendor, has the potential to disrupt its operations, result in the loss of customer business, damage the Company’s reputation, and expose the Company to litigation and regulatory action, all of which could adversely impact its profitability.

The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a major impact on the global economy, the supply chain and the economies of particular countries and industries. It has also resulted in elevated mortality and morbidity experience for the global population, and could have long-term effects on the Company’s life insurance business. The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on numerous factors, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These factors include the length and severity of the outbreak, including the impact of new variants of the virus and the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutic treatments in combating the virus, the responses to the pandemic taken by governments and private sector businesses, and the impacts on the Company’s customers, employees and vendors. Although the Company has taken certain steps to mitigate some of the adverse impacts resulting from the pandemic, these events could have an adverse effect on the risks described above and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows in any period and, depending on their severity and duration, could also adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.

NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Changes in Accounting Principles

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of NAIC SAP or other state prescribed accounting practices are reported as changes in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is generally reported as an adjustment to unassigned surplus in the period of the change in accounting principle. Generally, the cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods.

The NAIC adopted revisions to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") 32 “Preferred Stock.” The revisions include definitions, measurement and impairment guidance. The revisions require perpetual preferred stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock to be reported at fair value, not to exceed any current effective call price, among other changes. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021, which increased statutory surplus by $14 million.

NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which provides relief from certain requirements under U.S. GAAP. Section 4013 of the CARES Act gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs under U.S. GAAP (ASC 310-40)in certain situations. On April 7, 2020, a group of banking agencies issued an interagency statement, which was reaffirmed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that also offered some practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. In response to these events, the NAIC adopted a number of accounting Interpretations in 2020, which continued to be effective during part of 2021 to provide similar relief under statutory accounting, INTs 20-03 and 20-07 allowed insurers to make minor, short-term modifications to mortgage loans and debt securities upon request from borrowers experiencing financial difficulty due to COVID-19, without having to evaluate whether such modifications fall within the TDR accounting guidance and potentially have to impair such investments. The Company has granted a number of short-term, minor modifications in its mortgage loan portfolio that allow borrowers not to make contractual payments of principal and/or interest for up to six months with the repayment taking place either at the end of the 6-month deferral period, throughout the life of the investment or at time of maturity. These modifications did not have a material impact on surplus or net income.

In 2020, the Company adopted Principles Based Reserving ("PBR"). Under PBR for individual life products, reserves are the higher of: a) the reserve using prescribed assumptions or b) the reserve computed using a single prescribed economic scenario or c) the reserve based on a wide range of future economic conditions. Under PBR for variable annuity products ("VM-21"), reserves are the higher of: a) the reserve based on a wide range of future economic conditions computed using prescribed experience factors and b) the reserve based on a wide range of future economic conditions computed using justified company experience factors. For individual life products, the new standards are mandatory for policies issued on or after January 1, 2020 and therefore, there was no impact to surplus on adoption. For variable annuity products, PBR is mandatory for old and new business as of January 1, 2020 and companies are allowed to elect a phase-in period of three years to report the change in reserve valuation basis as described in SSAP No. 51R Life Contracts. This change in valuation basis, which impacts variable annuity reserves written from 1981 to 2019 is permitted under the revisions to New York State Insurance Regulation 213 (11 NYCRR 103), in addition to the Commissioners' Annuity Reserve Valuation Method ("CARVM") adopted in VM-21. Since the impact of adopting PBR did not materially increase statutory reserves, the Company recorded the full impact in surplus in 2020 and did not elect the phase-in method.

In 2020, the NAIC issued Interpretation 20-01 to provide statutory accounting and reporting guidance for the adoption of ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting under U.S. GAAP. This Interpretation adopts, with minor modification, the U.S. GAAP adopted guidance, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying current accounting guidance to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met, through December 31, 2022. The Company is performing an ongoing evaluation of the impact of reference rate reform on its contracts and hedging relationships. Since most of the Company's contracts and hedging relationships are expected to meet the criteria for applying the accounting expedients listed in the Interpretation, reference rate reform is not expected to significantly impact the Company's surplus or net income.

In 2019, the NAIC adopted revisions to the required disclosures under SSAP 100R “Fair Value.” The revisions adopt with modification new fair value disclosure changes under U.S. GAAP. The new requirements eliminate some previously required disclosures and provide clarification on disclosures for investments where the net asset value ("NAV") as a practical expedient to fair value is used for investments in funds that meet certain criteria. The updated disclosures have been reflected in Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements.

In 2019, the NAIC adopted revisions to SSAP 86 “Derivatives.” The revisions incorporate the hedge effectiveness documentation provisions reflected under U.S. GAAP. The revisions, among others, allow companies to perform subsequent assessments of hedge effectiveness qualitatively if certain conditions are met and allow companies more time to perform the initial quantitative hedge effectiveness assessment. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, $1 million of mortgage loans and $73 million, respectively, were past due 90 days and over.

The Company maintains a watchlist of commercial loans that may potentially be impaired. Some of the general guidelines analyzed to include commercial loans within the watchlist are loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”), asset performance such as debt service coverage ratio, lease rollovers, income/expense hurdles, major tenant or borrower issues, the economic climate, and catastrophic events, among others. Collateral securing the loans placed on the watchlist generally take priority in being revalued in the Company’s inspection/evaluation commercial loan program that revalues properties securing commercial mortgage loans. The guideline for analyzing residential loans occurs once a loan is 60 or more days delinquent. At that point, generally an appraisal or broker’s price opinion of the underlying asset is obtained.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 6 - INVESTMENTS (continued)

Fair value of the collateral for commercial mortgages (excluding credit loans) over $5 million is generally updated every three years, unless a more current appraisal is warranted. Commercial mortgages less than $5 million have an on-site inspection performed by an external inspection service generally every three years. If the loan is determined to be potentially troubled, the loan is more frequently monitored as to its status. Certain properties that serve as collateral for commercial mortgages have been placed on a different schedule to address additional risks that resulted from the economic shutdown as a result of COVID-19. LTV, which is based on collateral values, is deemed as one of the key mortgage loan indicators to assess credit quality and to assist in identifying problem loans. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, LTVs on the Company’s mortgage loans were as follows (in millions):

Loaned Securities and Repurchase Agreements

The Company participates in securities lending programs whereby securities, which are included in investments, are loaned to third parties for the purpose of enhancing income on securities held through reinvestment of cash collateral received upon lending. For securities lending transactions, the Company requires initial collateral, usually in the form of cash, equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned. The borrower of the loaned securities is permitted to sell or repledge those securities. At December 31, 2021, the Company recorded cash collateral received under these agreements of $675 million, and established a corresponding liability for the same amount, which is included in Amounts payable under security lending agreements in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position. For securities lending transactions, the carrying value of securities classified as bonds and on loan at December 31, 2021 was $628 million, with a fair value of $659 million.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage interest rate, equity, and currency risk. These derivative instruments include foreign currency and bond forwards, interest rate and equity options, interest rate and equity futures, interest rate, total return, credit default and foreign currency swaps. The Company does not engage in derivative instrument transactions for speculative purposes.

The Company may enter into exchange traded futures and over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative instruments. Exchange traded derivatives are executed through regulated exchanges and require daily posting of initial and variation margin. The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from default of the exchange.

OTC derivatives may either be cleared through a clearinghouse (“OTC-cleared”) or transacted between the Company and a counterparty under bilateral agreements (“OTC-bilateral”). Similar to exchange traded futures, OTC-cleared derivatives require initial and daily variation margin collateral postings. When transacting OTC-cleared derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from default of the clearinghouse and/or default of the Futures Commission Merchant (e.g. clearinghouse agent).

When transacting OTC-bilateral derivatives, the Company is exposed to the potential default of its OTC-bilateral counterparty. The Company manages its credit risk by entering into transactions with creditworthy counterparties, using master netting arrangements, and obtaining collateral where appropriate. The Company also deals with a large number of counterparties, thus limiting its exposure to any single counterparty. The Company also has controls in place to monitor credit exposures of OTC-bilateral counterparties by limiting transactions within specified dollar limits and adjusting transaction levels where appropriate, to minimize risk. All of the net credit exposure for the Company from derivatives transactions is with investment-grade counterparties. In addition, certain of the Company's agreements provide that if the Company's (or its counterparty's) credit rating were to fall below a specified credit rating assigned by a credit rating agency, the other party could request immediate payout on all transactions under the agreements. The Company's policy is to not offset amounts for derivatives executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting agreement with the associated collateral.

Collateralization plays a central role in the Company's mitigation of risk related to derivatives. For OTC-cleared and exchange traded derivatives, the Company obtains collateral through variation margin which is adjusted daily based on the parties' net derivative position.

29

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

For OTC-bilateral derivatives, the Company obtains collateral in accordance with the terms of credit support annexes (“CSAs”) negotiated as part of the master agreements entered into with most OTC-bilateral counterparties. CSAs define the terms under which collateral is transferred between the parties in order to mitigate credit risk arising from “in the money” derivative positions. The Variation Margin CSA requires that an OTC-bilateral counterparty post collateral to secure its anticipated derivative obligation, taking into account netting arrangements. Under federal regulation that became effective on September 1, 2021, additional margin is required to be posted to and collected from counterparties to OTC-bilateral derivatives to cover market movements over a ten day close-out period. This "initial margin" is documented under its own Initial Margin CSA and amounts posted under the Initial Margin CSA must be maintained at a third-party custodian, without any right of rehypothecation. Cash collateral is invested in short-term investments. Securities posted by the Company as collateral under derivative contracts continue to be reported as assets in the Company's Statutory Statements of Financial Position. Securities received as collateral under derivative contracts are not reported in the Company's Statutory Statements of Financial Position.

The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event that an OTC-bilateral counterparty fails to perform its obligations under its contractual terms. In contractual arrangements with OTC-bilateral counterparties that do not include netting provisions, in the event of default, credit exposure is limited to the positive fair value of derivatives at the reporting date. In contractual arrangements with OTC-bilateral counterparties that include netting provisions, in the event of default, credit exposure is limited to the net fair value, if positive, of all derivatives at the reporting date. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held collateral for derivatives of $377 million and $201 million, respectively, including $48 million and $28 million, respectively, of securities. Fair value of derivatives in a net asset position, net of collateral, was less than $1 million and $1 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company enters into various types of interest rate derivatives primarily to minimize exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on assets and liabilities held by the Company.

Interest rate swaps are used by the Company to hedge interest rate risk for individual and portfolios of assets. Interest rate swaps are agreements with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional value. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the onset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The Company does not act as an intermediary or broker in interest rate swaps.

Interest rate (Treasury) futures are used by the Company to manage duration of the Company's fixed income portfolio. Interest rate futures are exchange traded contracts to buy or sell a bond at a specific price at a future date.

Interest rate options are used by the Company to hedge the risk of increasing interest rates on policyholder liabilities. Under these contracts, the Company will receive payments from counterparties should an agreed upon interest rate level be reached and payments will continue to increase under the option contract until an agreed upon interest rate ceiling, if applicable.

Currency Risk Management

The primary purpose of the Company’s foreign currency hedging activities is to protect the value of foreign currency denominated assets from the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates.

Foreign currency swaps are agreements with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, principal and interest in one currency for the same in another, at a fixed exchange rate, which is generally set at inception and calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional value. Generally, only principal payments are exchanged at the onset and the end of the contract.

Foreign currency forwards involve the exchange of foreign currencies at a specified future date and at a specified price. No cash is exchanged at the time the agreement is entered into.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Equity Risk Management

The Company purchases equity put options and equity futures to minimize exposure to the equity risk associated with guarantees on certain underlying policyholder liabilities. There are upfront fees paid related to option contracts at the time the agreements are entered into.

The Company enters into total return swaps to hedge equity exposure in the general account portfolio.

Replication Transactions

Bond forwards are paired with other investment grade bonds in replication transactions to generate the return and price risk of long-dated fixed income securities.

Credit default swaps are paired with investment grade bonds in replication transactions to generate the return and price risk of long dated corporate bonds.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100, "Fair Value Measurements". Fair value is defined as 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. This guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are based on the inputs to the valuation as follows:  

Level 1    Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Active markets are defined as a market in which many transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2    Observable inputs other than level 1 prices, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other model driven inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Valuations are generally obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities or through the use of valuation methodologies using observable market inputs.

36

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Level 3    Instruments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions in pricing the asset or liability. Pricing may also be based upon broker quotes that do not represent an offer to transact. Prices are determined using valuation methodologies such as option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and other similar techniques. Non-binding broker quotes, which are utilized when pricing service information is not available, are reviewed for reasonableness based on the Company’s understanding of the market, and are generally considered Level 3. To the extent the internally developed valuations use significant unobservable inputs, they are classified as Level 3.

Determination of Fair Value

The Company has an established and well-documented process for determining fair value. Security pricing is applied using a hierarchy approach whereby publicly available prices are first sought from nationally recognized third-party pricing services. For most private placement securities, the Company applies a matrix-based pricing methodology, which uses spreads derived from third-party benchmark bond indices. For private placement securities that cannot be priced through these processes, the Company uses internal models and calculations. All other securities are submitted to independent brokers for prices. The Company performs various analyses to ascertain that the prices represent fair value. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, back testing recent trades, monitoring trading volumes, and performing variance analysis of monthly price changes using different thresholds based on asset type. The Company also performs an annual review of all third-party pricing services. During this review, the Company obtains an understanding of the process and sources used by the pricing service to ensure that they maximize the use of observable inputs, the pricing service’s frequency of updating prices, and the controls that the pricing service uses to ensure that their prices reflect market assumptions. The Company also selects a sample of securities and obtains a more detailed understanding from each pricing service regarding how they derived the price assigned to each security. Where inputs or prices do not reflect market participant assumptions, the Company will challenge these prices and apply different methodologies that will enhance the use of observable inputs and data. The Company may use non-binding broker quotes or internal valuations to support the fair value of securities that go through this formal price challenge process.At December 31, 2021, the Company challenged the price it received from third party pricing services on general account securities with a book value of $14 million and a market value of $15 million. The Company did not have any price challenges on separate account securities for what it received from third party pricing services. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any price challenges on general account and separate account securities from what it received from third party pricing services.

In addition, the Company has a pricing committee that provides oversight over the Company’s prices and fair value process for securities. The committee meets quarterly and is responsible for the review and approval of the Company’s valuation procedures. The committee is also responsible for the review of pricing exception reports as well as the review of significant inputs used in the valuation of assets that are valued internally.

Bonds

For U.S. SAP, bonds reported as Level 1 represent investments in certain SVO approved ETF and mutual funds, which are SVO-Identified Investments that are eligible for classification as bonds as identified in the NAIC’s SVO Purposes and Procedure Manual. Valuation of these securities is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available. All other ETFs and mutual funds are classified and accounted for as common stock.

Securities priced using a pricing service are generally classified as Level 2. The pricing service generally uses an income-based valuation approach by using a discounted cash-flow model or it may also use a market approach by looking at recent trades of a specific security to determine fair value on public securities or a combination of the two. Typical inputs used by these pricing services include, but are not limited to: benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, benchmark securities, estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds.

Private placement securities are primarily priced using a market approach such as a matrix-based pricing methodology, which uses spreads derived from third-party benchmark bond indices. Specifically, the Barclays Investment Grade Corporate Index is used for investment-grade securities and the Citi High Yield Cash Index is used for below investment-grade securities. These indices are two widely recognized, reliable and well regarded benchmarks by participants in the financial services industry, which represent the broader U.S. public bond markets. The spreads derived from each matrix are adjusted for liquidity. The liquidity premium is standardized and based on market transactions. These securities are classified as Level 2.

39

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Certain private placement securities that cannot be priced using the matrix pricing described above, are priced by an internally developed discounted cash flow model or are priced based on internal calculations. The model uses observable inputs with a discount rate based off spreads of comparable public bond issues, adjusted for liquidity, rating and maturity. The Company assigns a credit rating for private placement securities based upon internal analysis. The liquidity premium is usually based on market transactions. These securities are classified as Level 2.

For some of the private placement securities priced through the model, the liquidity adjustments may not be based on market data, but rather, calculated internally. If the impact of the liquidity adjustment, which usually requires the most judgment, is not significant to the overall value of the security, the security is still classified as Level 2. If it is deemed to be significant, the security is classified as Level 3.

The valuation techniques for most Level 3 bonds are generally the same as those described in Level 2. However, if the investments are less liquid or are lightly traded, there is generally less observable market data, and therefore these investments will be classified as Level 3. Circumstances where observable market data are not available may include events such as market illiquidity and credit events related to the security. In addition, certain securities are priced based upon internal valuations using significant unobservable inputs. If a security could not be priced by a third-party vendor or through internal pricing models, broker quotes are received and reviewed by each investment analyst. These inputs may not be observable. Therefore, Level 3 classification is determined to be appropriate.

Included in bonds are affiliated bonds from MCF and NYL Investments. The affiliated bond from MCF had a carrying value of $2,134 million and a fair value of $2,201 million at December 31, 2021, and a carrying value of $2,069 million and a fair value of $2,158 million at December 31, 2020. The fair value of this security is calculated internally and may include inputs that may not be observable and is therefore classified as Level 3. Also included in bonds is an affiliated bond from NYL Investments which had a carrying value of $762 million and fair value of $800 million at December 31, 2021, and a carrying value of $762 million and a fair value of $835 million at December 31, 2020. The fair value of this security is calculated internally using observable inputs and is therefore classified as Level 2.

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks valued using prices from third-party pricing services generally use a discounted cash flow model or a market approach to arrive at the security’s fair value and are classified as Level 2. Preferred stocks classified as Level 3 are valued based on internal valuations where significant inputs are deemed to be unobservable.

Common Stocks

These securities are mostly comprised of exchange traded U.S. and foreign common stock and mutual funds. The fair value of these securities is primarily based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available and are classified as Level 1. Common stocks that do not trade in an active market and are valued based on prices obtained from independent pricing vendors using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar securities that are readily and regularly available are classified as level 2. Common stocks priced through an internal valuation where significant inputs are deemed to be unobservable, including securities issued by government organizations where fair value is fixed, are classified as Level 3. For common stocks that do not have a readily available fair value, NAV is used as a practical expedient.

Mortgage Loans

The estimated fair value of mortgage loans is determined using an income approach, based upon the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at an interpolated treasury yield plus a spread. The spread is based on management’s judgment and assumptions, which takes into account matters such as property type, LTV and remaining term of each loan, etc. The spread is a significant component of the pricing inputs, and therefore, these investments are classified as Level 3.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY CORPORATION

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments and Investment Income Due and Accrued

Cash on hand and money market mutual funds are classified as Level 1. Cash overdrafts (i.e. outstanding checks) are classified as Level 2. Due to the short-term maturities of cash equivalents, short term investments, and investment income due and accrued, carrying value approximates fair value and is classified as Level 2.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivative instruments is generally derived using valuation models that use an income approach, except for derivatives that are exchange-traded, which are valued using quoted prices in an active market. Where valuation models are used, the selection of a particular model depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in the instrument, as well as the availability of pricing information in the market. The Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Valuation model inputs include contractual terms, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit curves, measures of volatility and other factors. Exchange-traded derivatives are valued using a market approach as fair value is based on quoted prices in active market and are classified as Level 1. OTC derivatives that trade in liquid markets, where model inputs are observable for substantially the full term, are classified as Level 2. Derivatives that are valued based upon models with any significant unobservable market inputs or inputs from less actively traded markets, or where the fair value is solely derived using broker quotations, are classified as Level 3.

Derivatives Collateral

The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value since these assets and liabilities are generally short-term in nature.

Other Invested Assets

Other invested assets are principally comprised of LIHTC investments, preferred units of a limited partnership, and other investments with characteristics of debt. The fair value of LIHTC investments is derived using an income valuation approach, which is based on a discounted cash flow calculation using a discount rate that is determined internally and therefore classified as Level 3 (refer to Note 6 - Investments for details on LIHTC investments). The fair value of investments with debt characteristics is derived using an income valuation approach, which is based on a discounted cash flow calculation that may or may not use observable inputs and therefore is classified as Level 3. The fair value of the preferred units in a limited partnership is derived internally based on market comparable preferred units and recent transactions by the limited partnership. The valuation technique used required inputs that were both unobservable and significant and therefore classified as Level 3.

Separate Accounts Assets

Separate accounts assets reported as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are mostly comprised of ETFs, common stocks and actively traded open-end mutual funds with a daily NAV. The NAV can be observed by redemption and subscription transactions between third parties, or may be obtained from third-party asset managers. Common stocks are generally traded on an exchange. Separate accounts assets reported as Level 2 relate to investments in U.S. government and treasury securities, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. These separate accounts assets are valued and assigned within the fair value hierarchy, consistent with the methodologies described herein for similar financial instruments held within the general account of the Company.

Separate accounts assets reported as Level 3 relate to investments in corporate bonds. These are instruments whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Transfers Between Levels

Transfers between levels may occur due to changes in valuation sources, or changes in the availability of market observable inputs, which generally are caused by changes in market conditions such as liquidity, trading volume or bid-ask spreads, or as a result of a security measured at amortized cost at the beginning of the period, but measured at estimated fair value at the end of the period, or vice versa due to a ratings downgrade or upgrade.

Transfers into and out of Level 3

The Company’s basis for transferring assets and liabilities into and out of Level 3 is based on changes in the observability of data, a change in the security’s measurement.

Transfers into Level 3 totaled $103 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which primarily relates to Stone Ridge Holdings Group preferred shares in other invested assets of $87 million and perpetual preferred stocks of $5 million which both are measured at fair value effective 2021, and $11 million of non-agency asset-backed securities that were measured at amortized cost at the beginning of the period and measured at fair value at the end of the period. Transfers out of Level 3 totaled$4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which primarily relates to common stock securities that had level changes due to the use of a quoted price in an active market.

Life Insurance Reserves

Reserves for life insurance policies are maintained principally using the 1958 Commissioners’ Extended Term Mortality Table and the 1958, 1980, 2001 and 2017 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables under the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation ("CRVM") Method or Net Level Premium Reserve Method with valuation interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.0%. Reserves for universal life secondary guarantee products are determined under the Actuarial Guideline XXXVIII methodology. Reserves for policies issued in 2020 and later were determined based on principle-based standards as set forth in the NAIC Valuation Manual.

In 2021, the DSID granted approval for the Company to change the valuation basis for reserves for certain blocks of life insurance policies from the minimum statutory reserve standard required under either New York or Washington law to the NAIC valuation basis. The Company recorded a net change in reserve valuation basis of $536 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was reported as a direct increase in surplus in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no changes in reserve basis for life insurance reserves.

The Company has established policy reserves on contracts issued January 1, 2001 and later that exceed the minimum amounts determined under Appendix A-820, “Minimum Life and Annuity Reserve Standards” of NAIC SAP by approximately $48 million and $195 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s liabilities for GMDB reserves, which are associated with certain variable life products, amounted to $9 million and $11 million, respectively, and were recorded in Policy reserves in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position.

Surrender values are promised in excess of life reserves on certain policies. This excess is included as part of miscellaneous reserves. No surrender values are promised in excess of any other reserves. Additional reserves are held on account of anticipated extra mortality for policies subject to extra premiums.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $10,736 million and $15,766 million, respectively, of insurance in-force for which the gross premiums were less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation set by the State of Delaware.

The tabular interest has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions except for certain universal life products for which tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves. The tabular less actual reserves released has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions. The tabular cost has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions.

Annuity Reserves and Supplementary Contracts with Life Contingencies

Reserves for single premium immediate annuities, guaranteed future income annuities, and supplementary contracts involving life contingencies purchased prior to 2018 are based principally on 1983 Table A, A2000, 2012 IAR table and CARVM, with assumed interest rates ranging from 3.8% to 6.0%. Purchases in 2018 and later years are reserved with valuation interest rates satisfying both the valuation manual requirements for maximum valuation interest rates for income annuities ("VM-22") and the New York State Department of Financial Services ("NYSDFS") Regulation 213 maximum valuation rate requirements, applying the 2012 IAR Table. The VM-22 rates range from 1.00% to 4.00%. 

Reserves for fixed deferred annuities are based principally on 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality, 1983 Table A, A2000, 2012 IAR and CARVM, with assumed interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 10.0%. Reserves for variable deferred annuities are based principally on VM-21 and NYSDFS Regulation 213, with assumed interest rates ranging from 3% to 8.25%. For the index-linked account corresponding to a variable annuity product, we also apply Actuarial Guideline XXXV. Generally, owners of the Company’s deferred annuities are able, at their discretion, to withdraw funds from their policies. The withdrawals in excess of the surrender charge-free withdrawal amount may be subject to surrender charges in the early years.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s liabilities for GMDB, GMAB, GFIB, and EBB reserves, which are associated with variable annuity products, amounted to $26 million and $29 million, respectively, and were recorded in Policy reserves in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position.

The Company recorded a $16 million increase in reserves for annuities as a change in valuation basis in 2020, which was reported as a direct reduction in surplus in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus.

The tabular interest has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions except for individual deferred annuities for which tabular interest has been determined from the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves. The tabular less actual reserves released has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions. The tabular cost has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions.

Reinsurance Assumed

On December 31, 2020, New York Life acquired Life Insurance Company of North America ("LINA") as part of its acquisition of Cigna’s group life and group disability insurance business, now named New York Life Group Benefit Solutions ("GBS”). Following the closing of the acquisition, the Company entered into an affiliated reinsurance agreement to reinsure mortality risk arising under LINA's group term life insurance business on a yearly renewable term basis. This transfer of life insurance mortality risk allows the Company to diversify its overall risk profile, as the Company's risk profile was previously weighted more heavily toward interest rate and asset risk. Entry into the yearly renewable term treaty also reduces LINA's exposure to mortality risk. At December 31, 2021, the Company held assumed liabilities for policy claims relating to this reinsurance agreement of $686 million, which are included in the Policy claims in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 13 - REINSURANCE (continued)

Reinsurance Ceded

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements in the normal course of its insurance business to reduce overall risk and to be able to issue life insurance policies in excess of its retention limits. Currently, the Company primarily reinsures the mortality risk on new life insurance policies on a quota share yearly renewable term basis, except for custom guarantee universal life and asset flex products. Most of the reinsurance ceded on new and inforce business is on an automatic basis. The quota share currently ceded on new business ranges from 15% to 90% . All products are ceded from first dollar with the exception of variable universal life which has a minimum size policy ceded of $1 million. Cases in excess of the Company’s retention and certain substandard cases are ceded on a facultative basis. The majority of the Company's facultative reinsurance is for substandard cases which the Company typically cedes 90%.

The ceding of risk does not discharge the Company from its primary obligations to policyholders. To the extent that the assuming companies become unable to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts, the Company remains contingently liable. Each reinsurer is reviewed to evaluate its financial stability before entering into each reinsurance contract and throughout the period that the reinsurance contract is in place.

Life insurance ceded was 45% and 47% of total life insurance in-force at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The reserve reductions taken for life insurance reinsured at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $754 million and $603 million, respectively.

The Company has reinsurance agreements with New York Life Agents Reinsurance Company (“NYLARC”). NYLARC is a life insurance company wholly owned by NYLARC Holding Company, Inc., whose shareholders consist of New York Life's top agents who meet certain criteria and who may also be agents of the Company or NYLIFE Insurance Company of Arizona ("NYLAZ"). NYLARC reinsures a portion of certain life insurance products sold by its shareholders. The purpose of NYLARC is to retain high production agents, and increase the volume and quality of the business that they submit to New York Life, NYLAZ and the Company.

NOTE 14 - BENEFIT PLANS

The Company shares in the cost of the following plans sponsored by New York Life: (1) certain defined benefit pension plans for eligible employees and agents, (2) certain defined contribution plans for substantially all employees and agents, (3) certain postretirement life and health benefits for retired employees and agents including their eligible dependents, and (4) postemployment benefits. The expense for these plans is allocated to the Company in accordance with an intercompany cost sharing agreement. The liabilities for these plans are included with the liabilities for the corresponding plan of New York Life. The Company’s share of the cost of these plans was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees

At the inception of a guarantee (except unlimited guarantees), the Company recognizes an initial liability at fair value for the obligations it has undertaken, regardless of the probability of performance under the guarantee. This includes guarantees made on behalf of affiliates unless the guarantee is deemed unlimited. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no such guarantees.

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in individual and/or alleged class action suits arising from its agency sales force, insurance (including variable contracts registered under the federal securities law), investment, retail securities, and/or other operations, including actions involving retail sales practices. Some of these actions seek substantial or unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The Company is also from time to time involved in various governmental, administrative, and investigative proceedings and inquiries.

Notwithstanding the uncertain nature of litigation and regulatory inquiries, the outcome of which cannot be predicted, the Company believes that, after provisions made in the financial statements, the ultimate liability that could result from litigation and proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position; however, it is possible that settlements or adverse determinations in one or more actions or other proceedings in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results for a given year.

Borrowed Money

Refer to Note 6 - Investments for a more detailed discussion of the Company's commitments for loaned securities and repurchase agreements.

Assessments

Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is licensed to transact business require life insurers to participate in guaranty associations which are organized to pay contractual benefits pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or failed life insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits, on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate share of the premiums written by member insurers in the line of business in which the impaired, insolvent or failed life insurer is engaged. Some states permit member insurers to recover assessments through full or partial premium tax offsets.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Prior to July 1, 2002, the Company did business in Taiwan through a branch operation (the "Taiwan Branch"). On July 1, 2002, the Taiwan Branch ceased operations and all of its liabilities and assets, including policy liabilities were transferred to New York Life Insurance Taiwan Corporation ("Taiwan Corporation"), an indirect subsidiary of New York Life. On December 31, 2013, Taiwan Corporation was sold to Yuanta Financial Holding Co. Ltd. ("Yuanta"). Under the terms of the sale agreement, Yuanta has agreed to satisfy in full, or to cause Taiwan Corporation to satisfy in full, all of Taiwan Corporation's obligations under the Taiwan Branch policies that were transferred to Taiwan Corporation on July 1, 2002. However, the Company, under Taiwan law, also remains contingently liable for these policies in the event that neither Taiwan Corporation nor Yuanta meets its obligations. This contingent liability of the Company has not been recognized on the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position because it does not meet the probable and estimable criteria of SSAP No. 5R.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company and its guaranteed separate accounts had contractual commitments to extend credit for commercial mortgage loans at both fixed and variable rates of interest, which amounted to approximately $875millionand $1,004 million, respectively. These commitments are diversified by property type and geographic location. There were no contractual commitments to extend credit under residential loan agreements at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Unfunded commitments on LIHTC amounted to $86 million and $5 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, unfunded commitments on LIHTC are included in Other invested assets, with an offset in Other liabilities in the accompanying Statutory Statement of Financial Position.

Several commercial banks have customary security interests in certain assets of the Company to secure potential overdrafts and other liabilities of the Company that may arise under custody, securities lending and other banking agreements with such banks.

FHLB Agreement

The Company is a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh. Membership in the FHLB of Pittsburgh provides the Company with a significant source of alternative liquidity. Advances received by the general account are included in Other liabilities in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position. When borrowing from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the Company is required to post collateral in the form of eligible securities, including mortgage-backed, government and agency debt instruments for each of the advances received. Upon any event of default by the Company, the FHLB of Pittsburgh's recovery from the collateral is limited to the amount of the Company's liability to the FHLB of Pittsburgh.

The amount of FHLB of Pittsburgh common stock held, in aggregate exclusively in the Company’s general account at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was as follows (in millions):

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES (continued)

There was no impact on the Company’s adjusted gross and net admitted DTAs due to tax planning strategies at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company did not use reinsurance in its tax planning strategies. The Company had no unrecognized DTLs at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the Company had no adjustments to gross DTAs because of a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the related DTAs.

Enactment of the CARES Act did not have a financial impact on the Company.

Significant components of the current federal and foreign income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in millions):

The Company’s federal income tax return is consolidated with New York Life, NYLAZ, NYLIFE LLC, New York Life Enterprises LLC, NYL Investments, NYL Investors, LLC, LINA, NYLGICNY, and LINA Benefit Payments, Inc. Refer to Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies - Federal Income Taxes.

The New York Life federal income tax returns are routinely examined by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and provisions are made in the financial statements in anticipation of the results of these audits. The IRS has completed audits through 2010 and tax years 2011 through 2013 are currently under examination. There were no material effects on the Company’s accompanying Statutory Statements of Operations as a result of these audits. The Company believes that its recorded income tax liabilities are adequate for all open years.

The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company did not have any operating loss and tax credit carry forwards available for tax purposes. The total income taxes incurred in prior years that will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses total $52 million, $86 million and $31 million, related to the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a current income tax (payable)/receivable of $(4) million and $(53) million, respectively, which is included in Other assets and Other liabilities in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position.

NOTE 16 - INCOME TAXES (continued)

At December 31, 2021, the Company had no protective tax deposits on deposit with the IRS under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 17 - CAPITAL AND SURPLUS

Capitalization

The Company has 20,000 shares authorized, with a par value of $10,000 per share with 2,500 shares issued and outstanding. All shares are common stock and are owned by New York Life. The Company has no preferred stock.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received a capital contribution in the form of an affiliated equity investment in MCF from New York Life for $530 million. The Company did not receive a capital contribution from New York Life for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019.

Other Surplus Adjustments

Other adjustments, net in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Changes in Surplus at December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, principally include the effects of the following (in millions):

	2021		2020		2019

Changes in surplus relating to separate accounts	(44)		(44)		(47)
Change in liability for reinsurance in unauthorized companies	(2)		—		(2)
Total	$	9	$	1	$	(5)

Nonadmitted Assets

Under statutory accounting rules, a nonadmitted asset is defined as an asset having economic value other than that which can be used to fulfill policyholder obligations, or those assets that are unavailable due to encumbrances or other third-party interests. These assets are not recognized in the accompanying Statutory Statements of Financial Position, and are, therefore, considered nonadmitted. The changes between years in nonadmitted assets are charged or credited directly to surplus.

NOTE 18 - DIVIDENDS TO STOCKHOLDER

The Company is subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends to New York Life. Under the Delaware Insurance Code, cash dividends can be paid only out of that part of the Company’s available and accumulated surplus funds which are derived from realized net operating profits on its business and realized capital gains, and dividends (or other distributions) on capital stock can be declared and paid only out of earned surplus (being an amount equal to the unassigned funds of the Company as set forth in its most recent annual statement submitted to the Delaware Insurance Commissioner (“the Commissioner”), including all or part of the surplus arising from unrealized capital gains or revaluation of assets), except as otherwise approved by the Commissioner (provided that stock dividends may be paid out of any available surplus funds). Furthermore, no extraordinary dividend may be paid until 30 days after the Commissioner has received notice of such declaration and has not disapproved such payment within such 30 day period, or the Commissioner has approved such payment within that 30 day period. Extraordinary dividends are defined as any dividend or distribution or cash or other property, whose fair market value, together with that of other dividends or distributions made within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10 percent of the Company’s surplus as regards policyholders as of the preceding December 31 or (2) the net gain from operations of the Company for the 12 month period ending on the preceding December 31 (not including pro rata distributions of any class of the Company’s own securities).

Dividends may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Company from available surplus, as it deems appropriate, on a non-cumulative basis. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid dividends to its sole stockholder, New York Life, in the amount of $942 million, $932 million and $0 million, respectively.

NOTE 19 - WRITTEN PREMIUMS

Group life(1)	$	388	$	388	$	—	$	—

(1) Represents reinsurance premiums assumed from LINA. Refer to Note 13 - Reinsurance for more details.

Deferred premium is the portion of the annual premium not earned at the reporting date. Loading of deferred premium is an amount obtained by subtracting the valuation net deferred premium from the gross deferred premium and generally includes allowances for acquisition costs and other expenses.

Uncollected premium is gross premium net of reinsurance that is due and unpaid at the reporting date. Net premium is the amount used in the calculation of reserves. The change in loading is included as an expense and is not shown as a reduction to premium income.

NOTE 20 - LOAN-BACKED AND STRUCTURED SECURITY IMPAIRMENTS

The Company does not have any loan-backed and structured securities, which are other-than-temporarily impaired where the Company intends to sell, or does not have the intent and ability to hold until recovery, at December 31, 2021.
