[1] Derivative instruments are reported in this table on a net basis for asset (liability) positions and reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in other investments and other liabilities.

[2] All amounts in these rows are reported in net realized capital gains (losses). The realized/unrealized gains (losses) included in net income for separate account assets are offset by an equal amount for separate account liabilities, which results in a net zero impact on net income for the Company. All amounts are before income taxes and amortization of DAC.

[3] The Company classifies gains and losses on GMWB reinsurance derivatives and GMWB embedded derivatives as unrealized gains (losses) for purposes of disclosure in this table because it is impracticable to track on a contract-by-contract basis the realized gains (losses) for these derivatives and embedded derivatives.

[4] Transfers in and/or (out) of Level 3 are primarily attributable to the availability of market observable information and the re-evaluation of the observability of pricing inputs.

[5] cludes both market and non-market impacts in deriving realized and unrealized gains (losses).[

[6] All amounts are before income taxes and amortization of DAC.

[7] Includes fair value of reinsurance recoverables of approximately $495 as of December 31, 2013, respectively, related to a transaction entered into with an affiliated captive reinsurer. See Note 12 - Transactions with Affiliates of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.[

[8] ttlements of other liabilities reflect the removal of liabilities carried at fair value upon the deconsolidation of a variable interest entity. See Note 4 - Investments and Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
