Union Security Insurance Company

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

 

1. Nature of Operations

Union Security Insurance Company (the “Company”), formerly known as Fortis Benefits Insurance Company, is a provider of life and health insurance products. The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Assurant, Inc. (the “Parent”). Assurant, Inc.’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol AIZ.

The Company was redomesticated to Iowa from Minnesota in 2004 and changed its name from Fortis Benefits Insurance Company in 2005. The Company distributes its products in all states except New York. The Company’s revenues are derived principally from group employee benefits, group health and pre-funded funeral products.

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company transferred assets and liabilities related to its Canadian operations to Assurant Life of Canada (“ALOC”). ALOC is also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. See Note 6 – Related Party Transactions for further details.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Dollar amounts are in thousands except for number of shares.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Restatement of Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (unaudited)

The Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 have been restated to reflect changes in the net receivable/payable from unsettled investment purchases and sales, previously classified within “adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities,” have been reclassified to cash flows from investing activities, to the extent such balances pertained to investments classified as available for sale.

As a result of the restatements to correct these errors, previously reported cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities and cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were increased or reduced for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 as follows:

The restatements had no impact on the total change in cash and cash equivalents within the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations or Unaudited Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

3. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2006, the Parent adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”) which replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Share-Based Payment and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. FAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The pro forma disclosures

previously permitted under FAS 123 are no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under FAS 123R, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost, and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The Parent adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method which requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of FAS 123R. The adoption of FAS 123R did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 changes the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Prior to FAS 154, the majority of voluntary changes in accounting principles were required to be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment within net income during the period of the change. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The adoption of FAS 154 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and, therefore, the Company is required to adopt FIN 48 by the first quarter of 2007. The Company does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Parent sponsors a defined benefit pension plan and certain other post retirement benefits covering employees and certain agents who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Plan assets of the defined benefit plans are not specifically identified by each participating subsidiary. Therefore, a breakdown of plan assets is not reflected in these financial statements. The Company has no legal obligation for benefits under these plans. The benefits are based on years of service and career compensation. The Parent’s pension plan funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus additional amounts as the Parent may determine to be appropriate from time to time up to the maximum permitted, and to charge each subsidiary an allocable amount based on its employee census. Pension cost allocated to the Company amounted to approximately $1,908 and $1,973 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $3,816 and $3,953 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company participates in a contributory profit sharing plan, sponsored by our Parent, covering employees and certain agents who meet eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Benefits are payable to participants on retirement or disability and to the beneficiaries of participants in the event of death. For employees hired on or before December 31, 2000, the first 3% of an employee’s contribution is matched 200% by the Company. The second 2% is matched 50% by the Company. For employees hired after December 31, 2000, the first 3% of an employee’s contribution is matched 100% by the Company. The second 2% is matched 50% by the Company. The amount expensed by the Company was approximately $1,259 and $1,115 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $3,277 and $2,980, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

With respect to retirement benefits, the Company participates in other health care and life insurance benefit plans (postretirement benefits) for retired employees, sponsored by the Parent. Health care benefits, either through the Parent’s retiree plan for retirees under age 65 or through a cost offset for individually purchased Medigap policies for retirees over age 65, are available to employees who retire on or after January 1, 1993, at age 55 or older, with 10 years or more service. Life insurance, on a retiree pay all basis, is available to those who retire on or after January 1, 1993.

 

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is regularly involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The Company may from time to time be subject to a variety of legal and regulatory actions relating to the Company’s current and past business operations. While the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending or future litigation, examination or investigation, the Company does not believe that any pending matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

6. Related Party Transactions

On April 1, 2006, the Company transferred the assets and liabilities related to its Canadian operations to ALOC, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, in exchange for ALOC common stock equal to the fair value of the net assets transferred. The Company transferred assets of approximately $469,000 and liabilities of approximately $401,000 related to its Canadian operations to ALOC for the purpose of re-domesticating its Canadian operations to Canada. In return, the Company received approximately $75,000 of ALOC common stock which was then sold to the Parent. In addition, there was a reinsurance agreement between the Company and ALOC for the existing insurance in force in which the Company was relieved of any liability to the insured. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized an increase to equity of approximately $7,600.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we had previously evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer had previously concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports we file or furnish under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods in United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms. Further, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with this filing on Form 10-Q/A, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer reevaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded they were effective as of June 30, 2006 as described above. In reaching this conclusion, management considered the impact of the restatement described in Note 2 to the financial statements included in this filing.
