(2) Effective February 22, 2011, JNL/BlackRock Global Allocation Fund was removed as an investment option for all new investment allocations, but any current investment balances as of February 22, 2011, remained in the Fund.  Prior to August 27, 2011, the Fund had a Master-Feeder structure and invested substantially all its assets in shares of BlackRock Global Allocation Portfolio, a series of BlackRock Series Fund, Inc.  At close of business August 26, 2011, the Fund received a pro rata share of cash, securities, and receivables from the BlackRock Global Allocation Portfolio in a complete liquidation of its interest in the Master Fund.  At this time the Fund was reorganized from a Master-Feeder structure to a Sub-Advised Fund and began investing directly in securities rather than through the Master Fund.  Effective August 29, 2011, JNL/BlackRock Global Allocation Fund was reopened to all investors.

(3) These name changes are due to changes in sub-adviser.

Jackson National Separate Account I
Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Separate Account in the preparation of its financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

The Separate Account’s investments in the corresponding series of mutual funds are stated at the closing net asset values of the respective Funds.  The average cost method is used in determining the cost of the shares sold on withdrawals by the Separate Account.  Investments in the Funds are recorded on trade date.  Realized gain distributions and dividend distributions received from the Funds are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds and are recorded as income or gain to the Separate Account on the ex-dividend date.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Separate Account are included in the federal income tax return of Jackson, which is taxed as a “life insurance company” under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under current law, no federal income taxes are payable with respect to the Separate Account.  Therefore, no federal income tax has been provided.

Topic 820 in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements”

This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.    
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments under ASC 820 guidance.  The inputs are summarized into three broad categories.  Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets.  Level 2 includes valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.  Direct observable inputs include closing prices of similar securities in active markets or closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets.  Indirect observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, and credit risks.  Level 3 includes valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment.  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  As of December 31, 2011, all of the Separate Account's investments are in funds for which quoted prices are available in an active market.  Therefore, all investments have been categorized as Level 1.  The characterization of the underlying securities held by the Funds in accordance with ASC 820 differs from the characterization of an investment in the fund.

ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”

In May 2011 FASB released ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards”.  ASU 2011-04 further clarifies fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures.  Effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, entities will need to disclose the amounts and reasons for any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities; quantitative information relating to significant observable inputs, a narrative description of the valuation process, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable or Level 3 valuation inputs.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 3 – Policy Charges

Charges are deducted from the Separate Account and remitted to Jackson, to compensate Jackson for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the contracts, administering the contracts, distributing the contracts, and assuming certain risks in connection with the contracts.

Policyholder Charges

Contract Maintenance Charge

An annual contract maintenance charge of $35 - $50 is charged against each contract to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining records relating to the contract.  The contract maintenance charge is assessed on each anniversary of the contract date that occurs prior to the annuity date.  This charge is only imposed if the contract value is less than $50,000 on the date when the charge is assessed.  The charge is deducted by redeeming units.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, contract maintenance charges were assessed in the amount of $2,870,556 and $6,719,734, respectively.

Transfer Charge

A transfer charge of $25 will apply to transfers made by contract holders between the portfolios in excess of 15 transfers in a contract year.  Jackson may waive the transfer charge in connection with pre-authorized automatic transfer programs, or in those states where a lesser charge is required.  This charge will be deducted from the amount transferred prior to the allocation to a different portfolio.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, transfer charges were assessed in the amount of $21,848 and $57,988, respectively.

Surrender or Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

During the first three to nine contract years, certain contracts include a provision for a charge upon the surrender or partial surrender of the contract.  The amount assessed under the contract terms, if any, depends upon the cost associated with distributing the particular contracts.  The amount, if any, is determined based on a number of factors, including the amount withdrawn, the contract year of surrender, or the number and amount of withdrawals in a calendar year.  The surrender charges are assessed by Jackson and withheld from the proceeds of the withdrawals.   For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, surrender charges were assessed in the amount of $37,748,144 and $31,960,116, respectively.

Optional Benefit Charges

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Charge.  If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.40% - 0.87%, depending on the product, of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB) base.   The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit Charge.  If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 1.00% - 1.02% of the Guaranteed Value (GV).  The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit Charge.  If this benefit has been selected, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.50% - 3.00%, depending on the product, of the Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB).  The charge will be deducted each calendar quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Charge.  If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the Contract, Jackson will assess an annual charge of 0.60% - 1.80%, depending on product, of the Death Benefit base.  The charge will be deducted each contract quarter from the contract value by redeeming units.

Note 3 – Policy Charges (continued)

Asset-based Charges

Insurance Charges

Jackson deducts a daily charge for administrative expenses from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15%.  In designated products, this expense is waived for initial contributions greater than $1 million, refer to the product prospectus for eligibility.  The administration charge is designed to reimburse Jackson for expenses incurred in administering the Separate Account and its contracts and is assessed through the unit value calculation.

Jackson deducts a daily base contract charge from the net assets of the Separate Account equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% to 1.65% for the assumption of mortality and expense risks.  The mortality risk assumed by Jackson is that the insured may receive benefits greater than those anticipated by Jackson.  The expense risk assumed by Jackson is that the actual cost of administering the contracts of the Separate Account may exceed the amount received from the Administration Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge.

Optional Benefit Charges

Earnings Protection Benefit Charge.  If this benefit option has been selected, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.20% - 0.45%, depending on the product chosen, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.

Contract Enhancement Charge.  If one of the contract enhancement benefits is selected, then for a period of five to nine contract years, Jackson will make an additional deduction based upon the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.  The amounts of these charges depend upon the contract enhancements selected and range from 0.395% to 0.832%.

Withdrawal Charge Period.  If the optional three, four, or five-year withdrawal charge period feature is selected, Jackson will deduct 0.45%, 0.40%, or 0.30%, respectively, on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.

20% Additional Free Withdrawal Charge.  If a contract owner selects the optional feature that permits you to withdraw up to 20% of premiums that are still subject to a withdrawal charge minus earnings during a Contract year without withdrawal charge, Jackson will deduct 0.30% - 0.40% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios.

Optional Death Benefit Charges.  If any of the optional death benefits are selected that are available under the Contract, Jackson will make an additional deduction of 0.15% - 0.80% on an annual basis of the average daily net asset value of the contract owner’s allocations to the portfolios, based on the optional death benefit selected.

Premium Taxes

Some states and other governmental entities charge premium taxes or other similar taxes.  Jackson pays these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the contract for them.  Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5% depending on the state.

Note 4 – Related Party Transactions

For contract enhancement benefits related to the optional benefits offered, Jackson contributed $122,719,601 and $73,788,281 to the Separate Account in the form of additional premium to contract owners’ accounts for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  These amounts are included in purchase payments received from contract owners.

*     Total return for period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflects deductions for all items included in the expense ratio.  The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units, inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.  Total return for portfolios with no investment activity at period end is calculated based on the total return of the underlying mutual fund less expenses that are charged directly to the Separate Account.
**   Annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying funds are excluded.
*** Total return is calculated from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. The effective date is the date when the optional benefit in the variable account was elected by a contract owner.

Independent Auditors’ Report
 

To the Board of Directors of Jackson National Life Insurance Company and
Contract Owners of Jackson National Separate Account I:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the sub-accounts within Jackson National Separate Account I (Separate Account) as set forth herein as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying mutual fund and other appropriate audit procedures. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each sub-account within Jackson National Separate Account I as set forth herein as of December 31, 2011, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.  In 2011, Jackson adopted a revised presentation of the balance sheet and income statement, with prior year amounts being reclassified to conform with the current year presentation with no impact on stockholder’s equity or net income.  In conjunction with this change, the Company has reclassified its previously reported risk management activity into other investment gains (losses) and net investment income, which is further detailed in Note 5.  In addition, the Company made a correction for an immaterial error in 2009 resulting in a reclassification of $687.0 million, increasing revenues and expenses, with no impact on net income, relating to the classification of certain guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit reserves.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Significant estimates or assumptions, as further discussed in the notes, include: 1) valuation of investments and derivative instruments, including fair values of securities deemed to be in an illiquid market and the determination of when an impairment is other-than-temporary; 2) assessments as to whether certain entities are variable interest entities, the existence of reconsideration events and the determination of which party, if any, should consolidate the entity; 3) assumptions impacting future gross profits, including lapse and mortality rates, expenses, investment returns and policy crediting rates, used in the calculation of amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements; 4) assumptions used in calculating policy reserves and liabilities, including lapse and mortality rates, expenses and investment returns; 5) assumptions as to future earnings levels being sufficient to realize deferred tax benefits; 6) estimates related to establishment of loan loss reserves, liabilities for lawsuits and the liability for state guaranty fund assessments; 7) assumptions and estimates associated with the Company’s tax positions which impact the amount of recognized tax benefits recorded by the Company; and, 8) the value of guarantee obligations.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.  Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors deemed appropriate.  As facts and circumstances dictate, these estimates and assumptions may be adjusted.  Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.  Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the financial statements in the periods the estimates are changed.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Adopted in Current Year
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.”  This guidance clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings.  It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011 and has included the required disclosures herein.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements,” which revises the criteria for asseessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The determination of whether the transfer of a financial asset subject to a repurchase agreement is a sale is based, in part, on whether the entity maintains effective control over the financial asset.  This guidance removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of a default by the transferee and also the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011 with no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables.  The Company adopted the disclosure requirements effective January 1, 2011 and has included the required disclosures herein.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-15, “How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments.” This guidance clarifies that an insurance entity should not consider any separate account interests held for the benefit of policyholders in an investment to be the insurer’s interests and should not combine those interests with its general account interest in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation, unless the separate account interests are held for the benefit of a related policyholder, as defined in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 and those Subsections require the consideration of related parties.  This accounting guidance was effective on January 1, 2011 and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires additional disclosures related to transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and for fair value measurement activity in Level 3.  Additional information to be provided includes purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis.  This ASU also clarifies certain other existing disclosure requirements including the level of disaggregation and disclosures around inputs and valuation techniques.  The accounting guidance for new disclosures and clarification of existing disclosures was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010.  The additional disclosures related to activity in Level 3 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and are included herein.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Adopted in Prior Years
On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2009-16, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.”  This accounting guidance amends the current guidance on transfers of financial assets by eliminating the qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) concept, providing certain conditions that must be met to qualify for sale accounting, changing the amount of gain or loss recognized on certain transfers and requiring additional disclosures.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-10, “Amendment for Certain Investment Funds,” which provides accounting guidance for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and requires additional disclosures regarding a company’s involvement in VIEs.  The adoption of ASU 2010-10 and ASU 2009-16 occurred simultaneously, requiring the consolidation of entities formerly considered to be QSPEs and decreasing retained earnings by $40.2 million.  Additional details on the application of this change in accounting principles are included in Note 4.

Changes in Accounting Principles – Not Yet Adopted
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2013.  The new disclosures are required to be applied retrospectively for all comparative periods presented.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2013 and include all applicable disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” with an objective of increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).  This guidance provides entities with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.    This guidance is applicable retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012 and is currently evaluating options for the presentation of comprehensive income upon adoption.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards,” which was issued to create a consistent framework for the application of fair value measurement across jurisdictions.  The amendments include wording changes to GAAP in order to clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and disclosure requirements, as well as to change a particular principle or existing requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements.  This new guidance is not expected to change which assets and liabilities are to be carried at fair value.  This guidance is applicable prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2012 and has not yet determined the impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” This guidance clarifies which costs related to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts can be deferred by insurance entities.  The guidance also specifies that only costs directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be capitalized.  All other acquisition related costs should be expensed as incurred.

Jackson will adopt this accounting guidance effective January 1, 2012 on a retrospective basis with restatement of all years presented and a cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity balance at January 1, 2010.  Jackson estimates the restatement will reduce deferred acquisition costs by approximately $991.9 million and reduce stockholder’s equity by approximately $641.6 million, net of tax, at January 1, 2010.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in stockholder’s equity (except those arising from transactions with owners/stockholders) and, in the Company’s case, includes net income (loss) and net unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities.

Investments
Fixed maturities consist primarily of bonds, notes, redeemable preferred stocks and asset-backed securities. Acquisition discounts and premiums on fixed maturities are amortized into investment income through call or maturity dates using the effective interest method.  Discounts and premiums on asset-backed securities are amortized over the estimated redemption period.  Certain asset-backed securities are considered to be other than high quality or otherwise deemed to be high-risk, meaning the Company might not recover substantially all of its recorded investment due to unanticipated prepayment events.  For these securities, changes in investment yields due to changes in estimated future cash flows are accounted for on a prospective basis.  The carrying value of such securities was $840.7 million and $878.5 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Fixed maturities are generally classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value.  For declines in fair value considered to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge reflecting the difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value is included in net realized losses on investments.  If management believes the Company does not intend to sell the security and will not more likely than not be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an amount representing the non-credit related portion of a loss is reclassified out of net realized losses on investments and into other comprehensive income.  In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, and in calculating the non-credit related component of the total impairment loss, the Company considers a number of factors, which are further detailed in Note 4.

During 2009, the Company transferred the remainder of its equity holdings from available for sale to a trading portfolio and recognized a loss of $87.5 million.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, all equity holdings were classified as trading.  Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in value included in net investment income.

Commercial mortgage loans are carried at aggregate unpaid principal balances, net of unamortized discounts and premiums, and impairments including any allowance for loan losses.

On a periodic basis, Jackson assesses the commercial mortgage loan portfolio for the need for an allowance for loan losses. In determining its allowance for losses, the Company evaluates each loan to determine if it is probable that amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. The allowance includes loan specific reserves for loans that are determined to be non-performing as a result of its loan review process, and a portfolio reserve for probable incurred but not specifically identified losses for loans which do not carry loan specific reserves. The loan specific portion of the loss allowance is based on the Company’s assessment as to ultimate collectability of loan principal and interest. This review contemplates a variety of factors which may include, but are not limited to, current economic conditions, the physical condition of the property, the financial condition of the borrower, and the near and long-term prospects for change in these conditions.  In determining the portfolio reserve for incurred but not specifically identified losses, Jackson considers the current credit composition of the portfolio based on the results of our loan modeling analysis, which considers property type, default statistics, historical losses and other relevant factors to determine probability of default and other default loss estimates.  Model assumptions are updated each quarter and, based upon our actual loan experience, are considered together with other relevant qualitative factors in making the final portfolio reserve calculations.  The valuation allowance for commercial mortgage loans can increase or decrease from period to period based on these factors.  Changes in the allowance for loan losses are recorded in investment income.

Separately, Jackson also reviews individual loans in the portfolio for impairment based on an assessment of the factors identified above.  Impairment charges recognized are recorded initially against the established loan loss allowance and, if necessary, any additional amounts are recorded as realized losses. As deemed necessary based on cash flow expectations and other factors, Jackson may place loans on non-accrual status.  In this case, all cash received is applied against the carrying value of the loan.

Policy loans are carried at the unpaid principal balances.

Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships and real estate.  Carrying values for limited partnership investments are determined by using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (NAV equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value.  Real estate is carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value.

The Company holds interests in VIEs that represent primary beneficial interests.  These consolidated VIEs include entities structured to hold and manage investments.

Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in income at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method.

The changes in unrealized gains and losses on certain investments which are classified as available for sale, net of tax and the effect of the adjustment for deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements, and the non-credit related portion of other-than-temporary impairment charges are excluded from net income and included as a component of other comprehensive income and total equity.  The changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments for which Jackson elected the fair value option are included in net income along with the related adjustment for deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and income taxes.

Derivative Instruments and Embedded Derivatives
The Company enters into financial derivative transactions, including, but not limited to, swaps, put-swaptions, futures and options to reduce and manage business risks.  These transactions manage the risk of a change in the value, yield, price, cash flows, credit quality or degree of exposure with respect to assets, liabilities or future cash flows which the Company has acquired or incurred.  The Company manages the potential credit exposure for over-the-counter derivative contracts through careful evaluation of the counterparty credit standing, collateral agreements, and master netting agreements.  The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties, however, it does not anticipate nonperformance.  There were no charges due to nonperformance by derivative counterparties in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

The Company generally uses freestanding derivative instruments for hedging purposes.  Additionally, certain liabilities, primarily trust instruments supported by funding agreements, index linked annuities and guarantees offered in connection with variable annuities issued by the Company, contain embedded derivative instruments.  Further details regarding Jackson’s derivative positions are included in Note 5.  The Company generally does not account for freestanding derivatives as either fair value or cash flow hedges as might be permitted if specific hedging documentation requirements were followed.  Financial derivatives, including derivatives embedded in certain host liabilities that have been separated for accounting and financial reporting purposes, are carried at fair value.  The results from derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives, including net payments, realized gains and losses and changes in value, are reported in net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents, which primarily include high quality, non-asset-backed commercial paper, money market instruments and deposits in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”), are carried at cost or amortized cost.  These investments have original maturities of three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for reporting cash flows.

Deferred Acquisition Costs
Certain costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions and certain costs associated with policy issuance and underwriting, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business, are capitalized as deferred acquisition costs.  Deferred acquisition costs are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to anticipated premium revenues for traditional life policies and in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, for annuities and interest-sensitive life products.  Due to volatility of certain factors, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period.  In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred acquisition cost balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest.  Unamortized deferred acquisition costs are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.  A review of assumptions used for estimating future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs is conducted on an annual basis.  Based on results of the annual review, the deferred acquisition cost balance is adjusted, with an offsetting credit or charge to amortization expense.

As certain fixed maturities available for sale are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred acquisition costs equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.  This adjustment, along with the change in fair value of fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to stockholder’s equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  Deferred acquisition costs have been decreased by $1,062.7 million and $598.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

For variable annuity business, the Company employs a mean reversion methodology that is applied with the objective of adjusting the amortization of deferred acquisition costs that would otherwise be highly volatile due to fluctuations in the level of future gross profits arising from changes in equity market levels.  The mean reversion methodology achieves this objective by applying a dynamic adjustment to the level of expectations of short-term future investment returns.  Under the methodology, the projected returns for the next five years are set such that, when combined with the actual returns for the current and preceding two years, the average rate of return over the eight year period is 8.4%, after investment management fees.  The mean reversion methodology does, however, include a cap and a floor of 15% and 0% per annum, respectively, on the projected return for each of the next five years.  Projected returns after the next five years are set at 8.4%.  At December 31, 2010,  future projected returns were capped at the 15% level.  By December 31, 2011, projected returns under mean reversion had fallen and were below the 15% cap.

Deferred acquisition costs are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.  Any amount deemed unrecoverable would be written off with a charge through deferred acquisition costs amortization.  No such write-offs were required for 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Deferred Sales Inducements
Bonus interest on deferred fixed annuities and contract enhancements on index linked annuities and variable annuities are capitalized as deferred sales inducements and included in other assets.  Deferred sales inducements are increased by interest thereon and amortized into income in proportion to estimated gross profits, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements.  Due to volatility of certain factors, including realized capital gains and losses and derivative movements, amortization may be a benefit or a charge in any given period.  In the event of negative amortization, the related deferred sales inducements balance is capped at the initial amount capitalized, plus interest.  Unamortized deferred sales inducements are written off when a contract is internally replaced and substantially changed.  A review of assumptions used for estimating future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred sales inducements is conducted on an annual basis.  Based on results of the annual review, the deferred sales inducement balance is adjusted, with an offsetting credit or charge to amortization expense.

As certain fixed maturities available for sale are carried at fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred sales inducements equal to the change in amortization that would have occurred if such securities had been sold at their stated fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields.  This adjustment, along with the change in fair value of fixed maturities available for sale, net of applicable tax, is credited or charged directly to stockholder’s equity as a component of other comprehensive income.  Deferred sales inducements have been decreased by $147.6 million and $82.2 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to reflect this adjustment.

For variable annuity business, the Company employs the same mean reversion methodology as is employed for deferred acquisition costs as described above.

Deferred sales inducements are reviewed periodically to ensure that the unamortized portion does not exceed the expected recoverable amounts.  Any amount deemed unrecoverable would be written off with a charge through deferred sales inducements amortization.  No such write-offs were required for 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Actuarial Assumption Changes (Unlocking)
Annually, or as circumstances warrant, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of the assumptions used for its estimates of future gross profits underlying the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements, as well as the valuation of the embedded derivatives and reserves for life insurance and annuity products with living benefit and death benefit guarantees.  These assumptions include investment margins, mortality, persistency, rider utilization and policy maintenance expenses.  Based on this review, the cumulative balances of deferred acquisition costs, deferred sales inducements and life and annuity reserves are adjusted with an offsetting benefit or charge to net income.   

Reinsurance
The Company enters into assumed and ceded reinsurance agreements with other companies in the normal course of business.  Reinsurance agreements are reported on a gross basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset for amounts recoverable from reinsurers or as a component of other assets or liabilities for amounts, such as premiums, owed to or from reinsurers.  Reinsurance assumed and ceded premiums and benefits paid or provided are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.  Premiums and benefits are reported net of insurance assumed and ceded.

Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions, as well as certain foreign jurisdictions.  The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007.
 
Jackson files a consolidated federal income tax return with Brooke Life and Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York. Jackson National Life (Bermuda) LTD is taxed as a controlled foreign corporation of Jackson.  All other subsidiaries are limited liability companies with all of their interests owned by Jackson.  Accordingly, they are not considered separate entities for income tax purposes and, therefore, are taxed as part of the operations of Jackson.  Income tax expense is calculated on a separate company basis.

Deferred federal income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities determined for financial reporting purposes and the basis determined for income tax purposes.  Such temporary differences are principally related to the effects of recording certain invested assets at fair value, the deferral of policy acquisition costs and sales inducements and the provisions for policy reserves and other insurance items.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to be in effect when such benefits are realized.  In accordance with GAAP, Jackson is required to test the value of deferred tax assets for realizability.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers the carryback capacity of losses, reversal of existing temporary differences, estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies.

The determination of the valuation allowance for Jackson’s deferred tax assets requires management to make certain judgments and assumptions regarding future operations that are based on historical experience and expectations of future performance.  In order to recognize a tax benefit in the consolidated financial statements, there must be a greater than fifty percent chance of success with the relevant taxing authority with regard to that tax position.  Management’s judgments are potentially subject to change given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future performance, which is impacted by such factors as policyholder behavior, competitor pricing and other specific industry and market conditions.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense.

Reserves for Future Policy Benefits and Claims Payable
For traditional life insurance contracts, reserves for future policy benefits are determined using the net level premium method and assumptions as of the issue date or acquisition date as to mortality, interest, persistency and expenses plus provisions for adverse deviations.  Mortality assumptions range from 25% to 160% of the 1975-1980 Basic Select and Ultimate tables depending on policy duration.  Interest rate assumptions range from 3.5% to 6.0%.  Lapse and expense assumptions are based on Company experience.  See Note 7 for a description of general account reserves related to variable annuity guarantees.

For the Company’s interest-sensitive life contracts, liabilities approximate the policyholder’s account value.  For deferred annuities, the fixed option on variable annuities, guaranteed investment contracts and other investment contracts, the liability is the policyholder’s account value.  The liability for index linked annuities is based on two components, 1) the imputed value of the underlying guaranteed host contract, and 2) the fair value of the embedded option component of the contract.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had interest sensitive life business in force with total account value of $4.5 billion, with minimum guaranteed interest rates ranging from 3.0% to 6.0%, with a 4.93% average guaranteed rate and fixed interest rate annuities of $26.2 billion of account value with minimum guaranteed rates ranging from 1.0% to 5.5% and a 2.83% average guaranteed rate.

Jackson and Jackson National Life Funding, LLC have a European Medium Term Note program, with up to $7 billion in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time.  Jackson National Life Funding, LLC was formed as a special purpose vehicle solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.  Carrying values totaled $0.7 billion and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Jackson and Jackson National Life Global Funding have a $10.8 billion aggregate Global Medium Term Note program.  Jackson National Life Global Funding was formed as a statutory business trust, solely for the purpose of issuing Medium Term Note instruments to institutional investors, the proceeds of which are deposited with Jackson and secured by the issuance of funding agreements.  The carrying values at December 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

Those Medium Term Note instruments issued in a foreign currency have been economically hedged for changes in exchange rates using cross-currency swaps.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements.

Trust instrument liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effects of foreign currency transaction gains and losses using exchange rates as of the reporting date.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other investment gains (losses).

Jackson and Squire Re are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) primarily for the purpose of participating in its mortgage-collateralized loan advance program with short-term and long-term funding facilities.  Membership requires the Company to purchase and hold a minimum amount of FHLBI capital stock plus additional stock based on outstanding advances.  Advances are in the form of short-term or long-term notes or funding agreements issued to FHLBI.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company held $107.0 million and $112.1 million, respectively, of FHLBI capital stock, supporting $1.8 billion each period end in funding agreements, short-term and long-term borrowing capacity.

Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to legal actions and, at times, regulatory investigations.  Given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, it is difficult to estimate their impact on the Company’s financial position.  Amounts related to contingent liabilities are established if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable.  It is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company’s contingent liabilities, or the use of different assumptions in the determination of amounts recorded, could have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position.  However, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of contingent liabilities will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
The Company maintains separate account assets, which are reported at fair value.  The related liabilities are reported at an amount equivalent to the separate account assets.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the separate account assets and liabilities associated with variable life and annuity contracts, aggregated $58.8 billion and $48.9 billion, respectively.  Investment risks associated with market value changes are borne by the contract holders, except to the extent of minimum guarantees made by the Company.  Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s contractual guarantees.  Separate account net investment income, net investment realized and unrealized gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements. Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue. 

Additionally, the Company has issued a group variable annuity contract designed for use in connection with and issued to the Company’s Defined Contribution Retirement Plan.  These deposits are allocated to the Jackson National Separate Account - II and aggregated $185.7 million and $176.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company receives administrative fees for managing the funds.  These fees are recorded as earned and included in fee income in the consolidated income statements.

Debt
Liabilities for the Company’s debt are primarily carried at an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance.  Original issuance discount or premium and any debt issue costs, if applicable, are recognized as a component of interest expense over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding.  Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s debt. 

Revenue and Expense Recognition
Premiums for traditional life insurance are reported as revenues when due.  Benefits, claims and expenses are associated with earned revenues in order to recognize profit over the lives of the contracts.  This association is accomplished through provisions for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of acquisition costs.

Deposits on interest-sensitive life products and investment contracts, principally deferred annuities and guaranteed investment contracts, are treated as policyholder deposits and excluded from revenue.  Revenues consist primarily of investment income and charges assessed against the policyholder’s account value for mortality charges, surrenders, variable annuity benefit guarantees and administrative expenses.  Fee income also includes revenues related to asset management fees and 12b-1 service fees.  Surrender benefits are treated as repayments of the policyholder account.  Annuity benefit payments are treated as reductions to the policyholder account.  Death benefits in excess of the policyholder account are recognized as an expense when incurred.  Expenses consist primarily of the interest credited to policyholder deposits.  Underwriting and other acquisition expenses are associated with gross profit in order to recognize profit over the life of the business.  This is accomplished through deferral and amortization of acquisition costs and sales inducements.  Expenses not related to policy acquisition are recognized when incurred.

Investment income is not accrued on securities in default and otherwise where the collection is uncertain.  Receipts of interest on such securities are generally used to reduce the cost basis of the securities.

Jackson has terminated, at the customers’ requests, a number of Medium Term Note contracts at discounted rates.  The income on these early terminations, totaling $2.5 million and $16.8 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, was included in other income.  There were no early terminations in 2011.

Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information.  Jackson utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  All assets and liabilities measured at fair value are required to be classified into one of the following categories:

 
Level 1
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities and exchange traded equity and derivative instruments.

 
Level 2
Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.  Most fixed maturity securities that are model priced using observable inputs are classified within Level 2.  Also included are freestanding and embedded derivative instruments that are priced using models with observable market inputs.

 
Level 3
Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Limited partnership interests and those embedded derivative instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs are included in Level 3.  Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs, considerable judgment may be used to determine the Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the Company’s best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges.

In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these situations, the Company will determine the level in which the fair value falls based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value. As a result, both observable and unobservable inputs may be used in the determination of fair values that the Company has classified within Level 3.

The Company determines the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company may also determine fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the appropriate current market rate. When appropriate, fair values reflect adjustments for counterparty credit quality, the Company’s credit standing, liquidity and risk margins on unobservable inputs.

Where quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data, as well as the best information about the individual financial instrument.  At times, illiquid market conditions may result in inactive markets for certain of the Company’s financial instruments.  In such instances, there is generally no or limited observable market data for these assets and liabilities.  Fair value estimates for financial instruments deemed to be in an illiquid market are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, liquidity discounts, currency, credit and interest rate risks, loss experience and other factors.  These fair values are estimates and involve considerable uncertainty and variability as a result of the inputs selected and may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market existed.  As a result of market inactivity, such calculated fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument.  In addition, changes in the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement technique could significantly affect these fair value estimates.

The following is a discussion of the methodologies used to determine fair values of the financial instruments listed in the above table.

Fixed Maturity and Trading Securities
The fair values for fixed maturity and trading securities are determined by management using information available from independent pricing services, broker-dealer quotes, or internally derived estimates. Priority is given to publicly available prices from independent sources, when available.  Securities for which the independent pricing service does not provide a quotation are either submitted to independent broker-dealers for prices or priced internally.  Typical inputs used by these three pricing methods include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, liquidity premiums, and/or estimated cash flows based on default and prepayment assumptions.

As a result of typical trading volumes and the lack of specific quoted market prices for most fixed maturities, independent pricing services will normally derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments through the reporting date based upon available market observable information as outlined above. If there are no recently reported trades, the independent pricing services and brokers may use matrix or pricing model processes to develop a security price where future cash flow expectations are developed based upon collateral performance and discounted at relevant market rates.  Certain securities are priced using broker-dealer quotes, which may utilize proprietary inputs and models. Additionally, the majority of these quotes are non-binding.

Included in the pricing of asset-backed securities are estimates of the rate of future prepayments of principal over the remaining life of the securities. Such estimates are derived based on the characteristics of the underlying structure and prepayment assumptions believed to be relevant for the underlying collateral.  Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

Internally derived estimates may be used to develop a fair value for securities for which the Company is unable to obtain either a reliable price from an independent pricing service or a suitable broker-dealer quote. These estimates may incorporate Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and are generally derived using expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates available from market sources based on the credit quality and duration of the instrument to determine fair value.  For securities that may not be reliably priced using these internally developed pricing models, a fair value may be estimated using indicative market prices.  These prices are indicative of an exit price, but the assumptions used to establish the fair value may not be observable or corroborated by market observable information and, therefore, are considered to be Level 3 inputs.

The Company performs a monthly analysis on the prices and credit spreads received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value.  This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals.  Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and on-going review of third party pricing service methodologies, review of pricing statistics and trends, back testing recent trades and monitoring of trading volumes.  In addition, the Company considers whether prices received from independent brokers represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through the use of internal and external cash flow models, which are developed based on spreads and, when available, market indices.  As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party may be adjusted accordingly.

For those securities that were internally valued at December 31, 2011 and 2010, an internally developed model was used to determine the fair value.  The pricing model used by the Company utilizes current spread levels of similarly rated securities to determine the  market discount rate for the security.  Furthermore, appropriate risk premiums for illiquidity and non-performance are incorporated in the discount rate.  Cash flows, as estimated by the Company using issuer-specific default statistics and prepayment assumptions, are discounted to determine an estimated fair value. 

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the independent pricing services’ valuation methodologies and related inputs, and evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy distribution based upon trading activity and the observability of market inputs. Based on the results of this evaluation, each price is classified into Level 1, 2, or 3. Most prices provided by independent pricing services, including broker quotes, are classified into Level 2 due to their use of market observable inputs.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Fair values are determined by discounting the future cash flows at current market interest rates.

Policy Loans
Fair values are determined using projected future cash flows, based on assumptions as to expected mortality and lapse rates, and discounted at the rate that would be required to transfer the asset to a willing third party.

Freestanding Derivative Instruments
Freestanding derivative instruments are reported at fair value, which reflects the estimated amounts, net of payment accruals, which the Company would receive or pay upon sale or termination of the contracts at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are included in other investment gains (losses).  Freestanding derivatives priced using third party pricing services incorporate inputs that are predominantly observable in the market. Inputs used to value derivatives include, but are not limited to, interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 1 include futures, which are traded on active exchanges.

Freestanding derivative instruments classified as Level 2 include interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps, put swaptions and equity index call and put options. These derivative valuations are determined by third party pricing services using pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Limited Partnerships
Fair value for limited partnership interests, which are included in other invested assets, is determined using the proportion of Jackson’s investment in each fund (NAV equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value.  No adjustments to these amounts were deemed necessary at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The Company’s limited partnership investments are not redeemable and distributions received are the result of liquidation of the underlying assets of the partnerships.  The term of Jackson’s interest in the partnerships is generally ten years, but may be extended for a period of time under provisions within the partnership agreements, if applicable.  The Company generally has the ability under the partnership agreements to sell its interest to another limited partner with the prior written consent of the general partner.  It is not probable and there is no instance, to date, where Jackson contemplated selling a limited partnership interest for an amount different from its NAV equivalent.

Other Loans
Fair values are determined by discounting the future cash flows at current market interest rates.

Separate Account Assets and Liabilities
Separate account assets are invested in mutual funds, which are categorized as Level 1 assets.  The value of separate account liabilities are set equal to the value of separate account assets under GAAP.

Annuity Reserves
Fair values for immediate annuities without mortality features are derived by discounting the future estimated cash flows using current market interest rates for similar maturities.  Fair values for deferred annuities, including index-linked annuities, are determined using projected future cash flows discounted at the rate that would be required to transfer the liability to a willing third party.

Other Contract Holder Funds
Fair values for guaranteed investment contracts are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Fair values for trust instruments supported by funding agreements are based on the present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates, plus the fair value of any embedded derivatives that are not required to be reported separately.

Fair values of the FHLBI funding agreements are based on present value of future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Debt
Carrying value of the short-term debt is considered a reasonable estimate for fair value due to their short-term maturity.  Fair values of other fixed interest rate debt are based on broker quotes or future cash flows discounted at current market interest rates.

Certain Guaranteed Benefits
Variable annuity contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income and accumulation benefits. Certain benefits, primarily non-life contingent guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (“GMWB”), guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and the reinsured portion of the Company’s guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”), are recorded at fair value.  Guaranteed benefits that are not subject to fair value accounting are accounted for as insurance benefits.

Non-life contingent GMWBs and GMABs are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other investment gains (losses). The fair value of the reserve is based on the expectations of future benefit payments and future fees associated with the benefits.  At the inception of the contract, the Company attributes to the derivative a portion of total fees collected from the contract holder, which is then held static in future valuations. Those fees, generally referred to as the attributed fees, are set such that the present value of the attributed fees is equal to the present value of future claims expected to be paid under the guaranteed benefit at the inception of the contract. In subsequent valuations, both the present value of future benefits and the present value of attributed fees are revalued based on current market conditions and policyholder behavior assumptions. The difference between each of the two components represents the fair value of the embedded derivative.  Jackson discontinued offering the GMAB in 2011.

Jackson’s GMIB book is reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, this contract meets the definition of a freestanding derivative. Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other investment gains (losses).  Due to the inability to economically reinsure or hedge new issues of the GMIB, the Company discontinued offering the benefit in 2009.

Fair values for GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives, as well as GMIB reinsurance recoverables, are calculated using internally developed models because active, observable markets do not exist for those guaranteed benefits.

The fair value calculation is based on the present value of future cash flows comprised of future expected benefit payments, less future attributed rider fees, over the lives of the contracts.  Estimating these cash flows requires numerous estimates and subjective judgments related to capital market inputs, as well as actuarially determined assumptions related to expectations concerning policyholder behavior.   Capital market inputs include expected market rates of return, market volatility, correlations of market index returns to funds, fund performance and discount rates.  The more significant actuarial assumptions include benefit utilization by policyholders under varying conditions, persistency, mortality, and withdrawal rates.  Because of the dynamic and complex nature of these cash flows, best estimate assumptions, plus risk margins, and a stochastic process involving the generation of thousands of scenarios that assume risk neutral returns consistent with swap rates are used.
 
At each valuation date, the Company assumes expected returns based on LIBOR swap rates as of that date to determine the value of expected future cash flows produced in the stochastic process.  Volatility assumptions are based on a weighting of available market data for implied market volatility for durations up to 10 years, at which point the projected volatility is held constant.  Additionally, non-performance risk is incorporated into the calculation through the use of discount rates based on a AA corporate credit curve as an approximation of Jackson’s own credit risk.  Other risk margins, particularly for policyholder behavior, are also incorporated into the model through the use of best estimate assumptions, plus a risk margin. Estimates of future policyholder behavior are subjective and are based primarily on the Company’s experience.

As markets change, mature and evolve and actual policyholder behavior emerges, management continually evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions for this component of the fair value model.

The use of the models and assumptions described above requires a significant amount of judgment.  Management believes the aggregation of each of these components results in an amount that the Company would be required to transfer for a liability, or receive for an asset, to or from a willing buyer or seller, if one existed, for those market participants to assume the risks associated with the guaranteed benefits and the related reinsurance. However, the ultimate settlement amount of the liability, which is currently unknown, could likely be significantly different than this fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
The tables below provide rollforwards for 2011 and 2010 of the financial instruments for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are used in the fair value measurement. Gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due partly to observable and unobservable factors. The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage the risk associated with certain assets and liabilities. However, the derivative instruments hedging the related risks may not be classified within the same fair value hierarchy level as the associated assets and liabilities. Therefore, the impact of the derivative instruments reported in Level 3 below may vary significantly from the total income effect of the hedged instruments. Additionally, the Company’s policy for determining and disclosing transfers between levels is to recognize transfers using beginning of period balances.

Upon adoption of ASC 820-10, certain broker priced assets were classified as Level 3 holdings as a result of illiquidity in the market and the resultant lack of observability into the assumptions used to produce those fair values. During 2010, as a result of changes in the level of observability of these inputs, Jackson determined that these assets would be more appropriately categorized in Level 2. As a result, Jackson transferred securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $1,059.5 million and $775.3 million, respectively, and derivative assets with a fair value of $156.4 million from Level 3 to Level 2 during 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, Jackson transferred securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $9.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, into Level 3 from Level 2 as a result of third party pricing not being available. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments

Investments are comprised primarily of fixed-income securities, primarily publicly traded industrial, utility and government bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage loans. Asset-backed securities include mortgage-backed and other structured securities. The Company generates the majority of its general account deposits from interest-sensitive individual annuity contracts, life insurance products and guaranteed investment contracts on which it has committed to pay a declared rate of interest. The Company's strategy of investing in fixed-income securities and loans aims to ensure matching of the asset yield with the amounts credited to the interest-sensitive liabilities and to earn a stable return on its investments.

Fixed Maturities
The following table sets forth fixed maturities at December 31, 2011, classified by rating categories as assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), or if not rated by such organizations, the Company’s affiliated investment advisor. At December 31, 2011, the carrying value of investments rated by the Company’s affiliated investment advisor totaled $164.4 million. For purposes of the table, if not otherwise rated higher by a NRSRO, NAIC Class 1 investments are included in the A rating; Class 2 in BBB; Class 3 in BB and Classes 4 through 6 in B and below.

At December 31, 2011, based on ratings by NRSROs, of the total carrying value of fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, 57% were investment grade, 33% were below investment grade and 10% were not rated. Unrealized losses on fixed maturities that were below investment grade or not rated represented approximately 65% of the aggregate gross unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturities.

Corporate securities in an unrealized loss position were diversified across industries. As of December 31, 2011, the industries accounting for the larger percentage of unrealized losses included banking/finance (9.83% of fixed maturities gross unrealized losses) and telecommunications (1.42%). The largest unrealized loss related to a single corporate obligor was $26.5 million at December 31, 2011.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, fair value and non-credit OTTI of available for sale fixed maturities, including $126.7 million and $345.0 million in securities carried at fair value with changes in value recorded through the income statement during 2011 and 2010, respectively, were as follows (in thousands):

The Company defines its exposure to non-agency residential mortgage loans as follows. Prime loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to the highest rated borrowers. Alt-A loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers who lack credit documentation or necessary requirements to obtain prime borrower rates. Subprime loan-backed securities are collateralized by mortgage loans made to borrowers that have a FICO score of 680 or lower. 22% of the Company’s investments in Alt-A related mortgage-backed securities are rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO. 20% of the Company’s investments in subprime related mortgage-backed securities are rated triple-A by at least one NRSRO. In 2011, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $14.1 million, $20.2 million, and $4.5 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively. In 2010, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $23.0 million, $50.5 million, and $11.4 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively. In 2009, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $351.1 million, $241.0 million, and $19.0 million on securities backed by prime, Alt-A and subprime loans, respectively.

Asset-backed securities also include investments in securities which are collateralized by commercial mortgage loans (“CMBS”). At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investment in CMBS was $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, of which 99% were rated investment grade by at least one NRSRO. In 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, on CMBS. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recorded on CMBS during 2009.

Corporate securities include direct investments in below investment grade syndicated bank loans. Unlike most corporate debentures, syndicated bank loans are collateralized by specific tangible assets of the borrowers. As such, investors in these securities that become impaired have historically experienced less severe losses compared to corporate bonds. At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s direct investments in bank loans were $64.9 million and $63.8 million, respectively.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Available For Sale Securities
The Company periodically reviews its available for sale fixed maturities on a case-by-case basis to determine if any decline in fair value to below cost or amortized cost is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the unrealized loss and the reasons for the decline in value, and expectations for the amount and timing of a recovery in fair value.

Securities the Company determines are underperforming or potential problem securities are subject to regular review. To facilitate the review, securities with significant declines in value, or where other objective criteria evidencing credit deterioration have been met, are included on a watch list. Among the criteria for securities to be
included on a watch list are: credit deterioration that has led to a significant decline in fair value of the security; a significant covenant related to the security has been breached; or an issuer has filed or indicated a possibility of filing for bankruptcy, has missed or announced it intends to miss a scheduled interest or principal payment, or has experienced a specific material adverse change that may impair its creditworthiness.

In performing these reviews, the Company considers the relevant facts and circumstances relating to each investment and exercises considerable judgment in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. Assessment factors include judgments about an obligor’s current and projected financial position, an issuer’s current and projected ability to service and repay its debt obligations, the existence of, and realizable value of, any collateral backing the obligations and the macro-economic and micro-economic outlooks for specific industries and issuers. This assessment may also involve assumptions regarding underlying collateral such as prepayment rates, default and recovery rates, and third-party servicing capabilities.
 
Among the specific factors considered are whether the decline in fair value results from a change in the credit quality of the security itself, or from a downward movement in the market as a whole, and the likelihood of recovering the carrying value based on the near-term prospects of the issuer. Unrealized losses that are considered to be primarily the result of market conditions (e.g., minor increases in interest rates, temporary market illiquidity or volatility, or industry-related events) are usually determined to be temporary, and where the Company also believes there exists a reasonable expectation for recovery in the near term. To the extent that factors contributing to impairment losses recognized affect other investments, such investments are also reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment and losses are recorded when appropriate.

In addition to the review procedures described above, investments in asset-backed securities where market prices are depressed are subject to a review of their future estimated cash flows, including expected and stress case scenarios, to identify potential shortfalls in contractual payments. These estimated cash flows are developed using available performance indicators from the underlying assets including current and projected default or delinquency rates, levels of credit enhancement, current subordination levels, vintage, expected loss severity and other relevant characteristics. These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against third-party sources.

Even in the case of severely depressed market values on asset-backed securities, the Company places significant reliance on the results of its cash flow testing and its lack of an intent to sell these securities until their fair values recover when reaching other-than-temporary impairment conclusions with regard to these securities. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are recorded on asset-backed securities when the Company forecasts a contractual payment shortfall.

Jackson recognizes other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities in an unrealized loss position when any one of the following circumstances exists:

·
The Company does not expect full recovery of the amortized cost based on the discounted cash flows estimated to be collected;
·
The Company intends to sell a security; or,
·
It is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security prior to recovery.

For mortgage-backed securities, credit impairment is assessed using a cash flow model that estimates the cash flows on the underlying mortgages, using the security-specific collateral characteristics and transaction structure. The model estimates cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans and distributes those cash flows to various tranches of securities, considering the transaction structure and any subordination and credit enhancements existing in that structure. The cash flow model incorporates actual cash flows on the mortgage-backed securities through the current period and then projects the remaining cash flows using a number of assumptions, including prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severity.

Specifically for Prime and Alt-A RMBS, the default percentage is dependent on the severity of delinquency status, with foreclosures and real estate owned receiving higher rates, but also includes the currently performing loans. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, default rates for delinquent loans ranged from 15% to 100%. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, loss severities were applied to generate and analyze cash flows of each bond and ranged from 30% to 65% and 30% to 62.5%, respectively.

These estimates reflect a combination of data derived by third parties and internally developed assumptions. Where possible, this data is benchmarked against other third-party sources. In addition, these estimates are extrapolated along a default timing curve to estimate the total lifetime pool default rate.Other-than-temporary impairments are calculated as the difference between amortized cost and fair value. For other-than-temporarily impaired securities where Jackson does not intend to sell the security and for which it is not more likely than not that Jackson will be required to sell the security prior to recovery, total other-than-temporary impairments are reduced by the non-credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income. The resultant net other-than-temporary impairments recorded in net income reflect the credit loss on the other-than-temporarily impaired securities. The amortized cost of the other-than-temporarily impaired securities is reduced by the amount of this credit loss.

For securities that were deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and for which a non-credit loss was recorded in other comprehensive income, the amount recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) represents the difference between the fair value and the new amortized cost basis of the securities. The unrealized gain (loss) on other-than-temporarily impaired securities is recorded in other comprehensive income.

There were no such impairment charges in 2009. The net losses on derivative instruments included in the above table are further detailed in Note 5.

The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $1,053.2 million, $1,926.7 million and $1,334.7 million, respectively, which was approximately 93%, 84% and 86% of book value, respectively.

There are inherent uncertainties in assessing the fair values assigned to the Company’s investments and in determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. The Company’s reviews of net present value and fair value involve several criteria including economic conditions, credit loss experience, other issuer-specific developments and estimated future cash flows. These assessments are based on the best available information at the time. Factors such as market liquidity, the widening of bid/ask spreads and a change in the cash flow assumptions can contribute to future price volatility. If actual experience differs negatively from the assumptions and other considerations used in the consolidated financial statements, unrealized losses currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive income may be recognized in the consolidated income statements in future periods.

The Company currently has no intent to sell securities with unrealized losses considered to be temporary until they mature or recover in value and believes that it has the ability to do so. However, if the specific facts and circumstances surrounding an individual security, or the outlook for its industry sector change, the Company may sell the security prior to its maturity or recovery and realize a loss.

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Commercial mortgage loans of $5.5 billion and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are reported net of an allowance for loan losses of $20.1 million and $33.2 million at each date, respectively. At December 31, 2011, commercial mortgage loans were collateralized by properties located in 41 states. Jackson’s commercial mortgage loan portfolio does not include single-family residential mortgage loans, and is therefore not exposed to the risk of defaults associated with residential subprime mortgage loans. Jackson periodically reviews these loans for impairment and, during 2011, 2010 and 2009, recognized impairment charges against the allowance for loan losses of $34.5 million, $17.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively. In addition, Jackson recorded an impairment as a realized loss of $9.7 million during 2011.

Securitizations
In 2003, Jackson executed the Piedmont CDO Trust (“Piedmont”) securitization transaction.  In this transaction, Jackson contributed $1,159.6 million of asset-backed securities, ultimately to Piedmont, which issued several classes of debt to acquire such securities.  The transaction was recorded as a sale; however, Jackson retained beneficial interests in the contributed asset-backed securities of approximately 80% by acquiring certain securities issued by Piedmont.  Prior to 2010, Piedmont, a qualified special purpose entity, was not consolidated by Jackson.

Effective January 1, 2010, as a result of adoption of ASC 2009-16, Jackson was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Piedmont and consolidation of Piedmont was required.

As a result of this change, the Company recorded a decrease in retained earnings of $48.2 million upon consolidation of Piedmont.  At December 31, 2010, Piedmont’s assets of $463.9 million and liabilities to external parties of $26.2 million were included in Jackson’s financial statements.  At the date of adoption, Jackson also elected to carry the assets and liabilities in Piedmont at fair value, with changes in fair value reflected in the consolidated income statement.  The creditors of Piedmont do not have recourse to the general credit of Jackson.

During 2011, Jackson purchased the remaining outstanding external interest and, as a result, Piedmont was terminated.

In 2001, Jackson executed the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I, Series 2001-PPM (“MSDW”) securitization transaction.  Jackson contributed commercial mortgages with a total principal amount of $623.6 million to MSDW and retained beneficial interest.  Prior to 2010, MSDW, a qualified special purpose entity, was not consolidated by Jackson.

Effective January 1, 2010, as a result of adoption of ASC 2009-16, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity MSDW and, as such, was required to consolidate their financial results into Jackson’s consolidated financial statements.  In March 2011, the external debt of MSDW was paid off entirely.  As such, Jackson’s consolidated financial statements include MSDW assets of $48.1 million at December 31, 2011 and MSDW assets and external liabilities of $80.6 million and $14.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

Other Invested Assets
Other invested assets primarily include investments in limited partnerships, real estate, and other loans.  Investments in limited partnerships have carrying values of $1,086.5 million and $865.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Real estate totaling $168.9 million and $152.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, includes foreclosed properties with a book value of $19.2 million and $13.8 million, respectively.  Other loans have carrying values of $0 and $19.4 million and weighted average interest rates of 2.25% and 3.46% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Limited Purpose Enhanced Return Entities (“SERVES”)
In 2004, Jackson acquired a $47.5 million debt interest in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2004-1 (“SERVES 3”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $300.0 million.  Jackson’s interest represented 95% of the capital structure of the entity.  Based on the Company’s initial analysis, it concluded that SERVES 3 was a VIE and that the Company was not the primary beneficiary.  Thus, the Company’s investment was reported at the fair value of this debt instrument.

During 2008, Jackson entered into “Option Put and Forbearance Agreements” with the counterparty to the SERVES 3 entity in exchange for the counterparty forbearing its right to initiate forced liquidation of the entity under certain market value triggers.  During 2009, Jackson entered into revised forbearance agreements with this counterparty.  The support provided by the agreement at December 31, 2011 could potentially expose Jackson to maximum losses of $110.7 million, if circumstances allowed the forbearance period to cease.  Jackson believes that, so long as the forbearance period continues, the risk of loss under the agreement is remote.

As a result of the additional exposure to SERVES 3 upon entering into the “Option Put and Forbearance Agreement”, Jackson determined that it is the primary beneficiary of SERVES 3 and, accordingly, consolidated SERVES 3 in its financial statements.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the underlying assets of $49.5 million and $42.8 million and net liabilities of $2.7 million and $8.4 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, of this entity.  The creditors of SERVES 3 do not have recourse to the general credit of Jackson.

In 2008, Jackson acquired $40.0 million of debt interests in a limited purpose entity, SERVES 2006-1 (“SERVES 4”), formed to pass through leveraged investment returns based on the performance of an underlying reference pool of syndicated bank loans totaling up to $500.0 million.   At the acquisition date, the Company performed an analysis, which produced return scenarios based on various assumptions for the reference pool, including spread income, default and recovery ratios, and holding period appreciation/depreciation, to determine whether the structure was a variable interest entity and, if so, whether Jackson was the primary beneficiary.  Based on the results of this analysis, the Company concluded that SERVES 4 was a VIE and that Jackson was not the primary beneficiary.  Thus, the Company’s investment was reported at the fair value of this debt instrument.  SERVES 4 notes were sold at par in May 2011.

Securities Lending
The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with an agent bank whereby blocks of securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the estimated fair value of loaned securities was $51.6 million and $56.7 million, respectively.  The agreements require a minimum of 102 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral, calculated on a daily basis.  To further minimize the credit risks related to this program, the financial condition of counterparties is monitored on a regular basis.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, cash collateral received in the amount of $53.3 million and $58.1 million, respectively, was invested by the agent bank and included in cash equivalents of the Company.  A securities lending payable is included in liabilities for the amount of cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are used to generate income.  Income and expenses associated with these transactions are reported as net investment income.

5.    Derivative Instruments

Jackson’s business model includes the acceptance, monitoring and mitigation of risk.  Specifically, Jackson considers, among other factors, exposures to interest rate and equity market movements, foreign exchange rates and other asset or liability prices.  The Company uses derivative instruments to mitigate or reduce these risks in accordance with established policies and goals.  Jackson’s derivative holdings, while effective in managing defined risks, are not structured to meet accounting requirements to be designated as hedging instruments and are carried at fair value with changes recorded in other investment gains (losses).

Cross-currency swaps, which embody spot and forward currency swaps and, in some cases, interest rate and equity index swaps, are entered into for the purpose of hedging the Company issued foreign currency denominated trust instruments supported by funding agreements.  Cross-currency swaps serve to hedge derivatives embedded in the funding agreements and are carried at fair value.  The fair value of derivatives embedded in funding agreements, as well as unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses, are included in the carrying value of the trust instruments supported by funding agreements. Foreign currency translation gains and losses associated with funding agreement hedging activities are included in other investment gains (losses).

Credit default swaps, with maturities up to five years, are agreements under which the Company has purchased default protection on certain underlying corporate bonds held in its portfolio.  These contracts allow the Company to sell the protected bonds at par value to the counterparty if a defined “default event” occurs, in exchange for periodic payments made by the Company for the life of the agreement.  Credit default swaps are carried at fair value.  The Company does not currently sell default protection using credit default swaps or other similar derivative instruments.

Put-swaption contracts provide the purchaser with the right, but not the obligation, to require the writer to pay the present value of a long-term interest rate swap at future exercise dates.  The Company purchases and writes put-swaptions for hedging purposes with original maturities of up to 10 years.  Put-swaptions hedge against significant movements in interest rates.  Written put-swaptions are entered into in conjunction with associated put-swaptions purchased from the same counterparties (“linked put-swaptions”).  Linked put-swaptions have identical notional amounts and strike prices, but have different underlying swap terms.  Due to the right of offset, linked put-swaptions are presented at the fair value of the net position with each counterparty.  Non-linked put-swaptions are carried at fair value.

Equity index futures contracts and equity index options (including various call and put options and put spreads), which are used to hedge the Company’s obligations associated with its index linked annuities and guarantees in variable annuity products, are carried at fair value.  These insurance products contain embedded options whose fair value is reported in other contract holder funds.

Total return swaps, in which the Company receives equity returns or returns based on reference pools of assets in exchange for short-term floating rate payments based on notional amounts, are held for both hedging and investment purposes, and are carried at fair value.

Interest rate swap agreements used for hedging purposes generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating payments based on a notional contract amount over the period for which the agreement remains outstanding without an exchange of the underlying notional amount.  Interest rate swaps are carried at fair value.  During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into various interest rate swap transactions to more closely match the overall asset and liability duration.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative assets by counterparty were $1,457.1 million and $308.3 million, respectively, and held collateral was $1,505.5 million and $282.3 million, respectively, related to these agreements.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of Jackson’s net derivative liabilities by counterparty were $230.5 million and $548.7 million, respectively, and provided collateral was $172.5 million and $484.3 million, respectively, related to these agreements.  All of Jackson’s master swap agreements contain credit downgrade provisions that allow a party to assign or terminate derivative transactions if the counterparty’s credit rating declines below an established limit.  If all of these provisions had been triggered at December 31, 2011 or 2010, Jackson would have to disburse $106.5 million and $38.4 million, respectively, to counterparties, representing the net fair values of derivatives by counterparty, less collateral held.

Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and Variable Annuity Guarantees
 
The Company issues variable contracts through its separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contract holder (traditional variable annuities).  The Company also issues variable annuity and life contracts through separate accounts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contract holder (variable contracts with guarantees) either a) return of no less than total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals, b) total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, or c) the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date adjusted for any withdrawals following the contract anniversary.  These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death (GMDB), annuitization (GMIB), at specified dates during the accumulation period (GMWB) or at the end of a specified period (GMAB).
 
The assets supporting the variable portion of both traditional variable annuities and variable contracts with guarantees are carried at fair value and reported as summary total separate account assets with an equivalent summary total reported for separate account liabilities.  Liabilities for guaranteed benefits are general account obligations and are reported in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.  Amounts assessed against the contract holders for mortality, administrative, and other services are reported in revenue.  Changes in liabilities for minimum guarantees are reported within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves in the consolidated income statement with the exception of changes in embedded derivatives, which are included in other investment losses.  Separate account net investment income, net investment gains and losses, and the related liability changes are offset within the same line item in the consolidated income statements.

Amounts shown as GMWB ‘for-life’ above include a ‘not-for-life’ component up to the point at which the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted, after which benefits paid are considered to be ‘for-life’ benefits.  The liability related to this ‘not-for-life’ portion is valued as an embedded derivative, while the ‘for-life’ benefits are valued as an insurance liability (see below).  For this table, the net amount at risk of the ‘not-for-life’ component is the undiscounted excess of the guaranteed withdrawal benefit over the account value, and that of the ‘for-life’ component is the estimated value of additional life contingent benefits paid after the guaranteed withdrawal benefit is exhausted.

The GMDB liability is determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the income statement within death, other policy benefits and change in policy reserves, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

The following assumptions and methodology were used to determine the GMDB liability at both December 31, 2011 and 2010 (except where otherwise noted):
 
1)  
Use of a series of deterministic investment performance scenarios, based on historical average market volatility.
2)  
Mean investment performance assumption of ­­8.4% after investment management fees, but before investment advisory fees and mortality and expense charges.
3)  
Mortality equal to 85.0% of the Annuity 2000 table.
4)  
Lapse rates varying by contract type, duration and degree the benefit is in-the-money and ranging from 0.13% to 44.0%, with an average of 4.0% during the surrender charge period and 10.0% thereafter.
5)  
Discount rate of 8.4%.

Most GMWB reserves are considered to be derivatives under current accounting guidance and are recognized at fair value, with the change in fair value reported in current earnings.  The fair value of these liabilities is determined using stochastic modeling and inputs as further described in Note 3.    The GMWB reserve totaled $2,074.8 million and $313.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and was included in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

Jackson has also issued certain GMWB products that guarantee payments over a lifetime.  Reserves for the portion of these benefits after the point where the guaranteed withdrawal balance is exhausted are calculated as required by ASC 944-20.  The reserve calculation uses a series of stochastic investment performance scenarios.  Otherwise, the methodology and assumptions used are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, these GMWB reserves totaled $14.7 million and $46.5 million, respectively, and were included in reserves for future policy benefits and claims payable.

GMAB benefits are offered on some variable annuity plans and issues have been minimal as of December 31, 2011.  These reserves totaled $3.2 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This benefit was eliminated from Jackson’s product offerings in 2011.

The direct GMIB liability is determined at each period end by estimating the expected value of the annuitization benefits in excess of the projected account balance at the date of annuitization and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  The Company regularly evaluates estimates used and adjusts the liability balance through the income statement within death, policy benefits and change in policy reserves, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.  The assumptions used for calculating the direct GMIB liability at December 31, 2011 and 2010, are consistent with those used for calculating the GMDB liability.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, GMIB reserves before reinsurance totaled $16.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Other Liabilities – Insurance and Annuitization Benefits
The Company has established additional reserves for life insurance business for: universal life (“UL”) plans with secondary guarantees, interest-sensitive life (“ISWL”) plans that exhibit “profits followed by loss” patterns and account balance adjustments to tabular guaranteed cash values on one interest-sensitive life plan.  The Company also has a small closed block of two-tier annuities, where different crediting rates are used for annuitization and surrender benefit calculations.  A liability is established to cover future annuitization benefits in excess of surrender values.  The total liability for this block is the surrender value, plus the ASC 944-20 annuitization reserve.

Liabilities for these benefits have been established according to the methodologies described below:

1)  
Use of a series of deterministic premium persistency scenarios.
2)  
Other experience assumptions similar to those used in amortization of deferred acquisition costs.

Surplus notes
On March 15, 1997, the Company issued 8.15% surplus notes in the principal amount of $250.0 million due March 15, 2027.  These surplus notes were issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and are unsecured and subordinated to all present and future indebtedness, policy claims and other creditor claims.

Under Michigan insurance law, for statutory reporting purposes, the surplus notes are not part of the legal liabilities of the Company and are considered surplus funds.  Payments of interest or principal may only be made with the prior approval of the Commissioner of Insurance of the state of Michigan and only out of surplus earnings which the Commissioner determines to be available for such payments under Michigan insurance law.  The surplus notes may not be redeemed at the option of the Company or any holder prior to maturity.

Interest is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. Interest paid totaled $20.4 million in each of 2011, 2010 and 2009.
 
Mortgage loans
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, certain consolidated real estate VIEs had outstanding mortgage loans with a weighted average interest rate of 4.4% and 4.4%, respectively, with maturities through 2016.  Interest paid totaled $1.4 million, $2.1 million and $2.2 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

VIE related borrowings
Certain of the Company’s VIEs have “equity” classes issued in the form of non-investment grade debt.  Accordingly, these equity classes are classified as notes payable rather than minority interest in the consolidated balance sheets.  These notes accrue contingent interest in addition to the stated coupon.  At December 31, 2011 there was only one equity class outstanding that matures in 2016.  The outstanding principal amount accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of 9.4% and 5.0% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Interest paid on the notes in 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $0.2 million, $8.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Additionally, certain of the Company’s consolidated VIEs issued debt to external parties, which was redeemed in 2011.  While outstanding, the principal amount accrued interest at a weighted average interest rate of 0.8% in 2011 and 3.1% in 2010.  Interest paid on the notes totaled $0.2 million and $2.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were the only years these VIEs were consolidated in Jackson’s financial statements.

Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage Loan
In 2010, Jackson received a mortgage loan from the FHLBI, under its community investment program.  The loan accrues interest at 1.04% and the outstanding balance was $15.0 million as of both December 31, 2011 and 2010.  Interest paid totaled $0.2 million during 2011.  Jackson did not pay any interest on this mortgage loan during 2010, as the loan was executed in mid-December.  At December 31, 2011, the mortgage loan was collateralized by real estate with a carrying value of $20.4 million.

9.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Jackson entered into a short-term advance program with the FHLBI in which interest rates were either fixed or variable based on the FHLBI cost of funds or market rates.  Advances of $150.0 million at an interest rate of 0.14% were outstanding at December 31, 2011.  There were no advances outstanding at December 31, 2010.  Jackson did not pay interest during 2011 since advances were only drawn in December.  Jackson paid $0 million and $0.3 million of interest on advances during 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Advances were collateralized by CMBS and other structured securities with a carrying value of $165.7 million at December 31, 2011.

10. 
Repurchase Agreements

During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into repurchase agreements whereby the Company agreed to sell and repurchase securities.  These agreements are accounted for as financing transactions, with the assets and associated liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets.  Short-term borrowings under such agreements averaged $316.4 million and $289.1 million during 2011 and 2010, respectively, at weighted average interest rates of 0.2% for both years.  The outstanding balance was $100.7 million and $552.5 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Interest paid totaled $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The highest level of short-term borrowings at any month end was $683.2 million in 2011 and $552.5 million in 2010.

11.
Reinsurance

The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance from and to other insurance companies in order to limit losses from large exposures; however, if the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations, the originating issuer of the coverage retains the liability.  The Company monitors the financial strength rating of reinsurers on a monthly basis.

The maximum amount of life insurance risk retained by the Company on any one life is generally $2.0 million.  Amounts not retained are ceded to other companies on either a yearly renewable-term or a coinsurance basis.

In connection with the purchase of Life of Georgia in 2005, Jackson acquired certain lines of business that are wholly ceded to non-affiliates.  These include both direct and assumed accident and health business, direct and assumed life insurance business, and certain institutional annuities.

Jackson’s GMIBs are reinsured through an unrelated party and, due to the net settlement provisions of the reinsurance agreement, this contract meets the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, the GMIB reinsurance agreement is recorded at fair value on the Company’s balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded through other investment gains (losses).

Jackson also ceded the GMDB coverage associated with certain variable annuities issued prior to 2003 to an affiliate, Prudential Atlantic Reinsurance Company, Dublin, Ireland (“PARC”).  PARC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential.  Effective December 31, 2009, Jackson terminated the reinsurance agreement, paying a premium of $30.5 million to settle the experience account as defined in the agreement.  The net effect of terminating the reinsurance agreement and recapturing reserves of $265.6 million was a loss of $10.3 million, net of deferred acquisition cost amortization.

Federal income taxes paid (recovered) were $170.0 million, $(517.8) million and $(48.6) million in 2011, 2010 and  2009, respectively.  The 2010 tax recovery included $287.7 million due to Internal Revenue Service guidance issued in March 2010 related to the adoption of new statutory reserving requirements for variable annuities in 2009.  This new tax guidance required that the tax reserve decrease recognized upon implementation of the transition to the new reserving methodology be amortized over 10 years.  Approximately $822.1 million of the additional tax reserve deduction was available to carryback and offset the prior year’s taxable income.  For GAAP, this guidance resulted in a current tax recoverable, offset by a decrease in a deferred tax asset, with no impact on total tax expense.

Realization of Jackson’s deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income.  Although realization is not assured, management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and investment activity will generate sufficient taxable income to realize gross deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had no federal tax ordinary loss or federal tax capital loss carryforwards.

In August 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Ruling 2007-54 that would have changed accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing the computation of the Dividends Received Deduction ("DRD") on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life contracts, but that ruling was suspended by Revenue Ruling 2007-61. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 also announced the Treasury Department's and the IRS's intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the DRD on separate account assets held in connection with variable contracts. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. Although regulations that represent a substantial change in an interpretation of the law are generally given a prospective effective date, there is no assurance that the change will not be retrospectively applied.  As a result, depending on the ultimate timing and substance of any such regulations, which are unknown at this time, such future regulations could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives.  In January 2010, Jackson received a formal Notice of Assessment from the IRS disallowing the separate account DRD for 2003, 2005 and 2006.  Jackson did not agree with the assessment and filed a protest with the Appellate Division of the IRS.  No reserve has been established for this potential exposure since Jackson believes its position is sustainable.  The Company recognized an income tax benefit related to the separate account DRD of $59.1 million, $56.4 million and $27.3 million during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

During 2011, Jackson established a reserve for an unrecognized tax benefit as required for income tax uncertainties.  The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, for the year ended December 31, 2011 (in thousands).  There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010.

Unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2010
  $ -  
Additions for tax positions identified in 2011
    45,065  
Reduction of tax positions of closed prior years
    -  
Unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2011
  $ 45,065  
 
The Company has considered both permanent and temporary positions in determining the unrecognized tax benefit rollforward.  The total amount of unrecognized benefits represent tax positions for which there is uncertainty about the timing of certain deductions.  The timing of such deductions would not affect the annual effective tax rate, excluding the impact of interest and penalties.

Interest totaling $10.4 million related to these unrecognized tax benefits has been included in income tax expense in the consolidated income statement for 2011.  The Company has not recorded any amounts for penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Based on information available as of December 31, 2011, the Company believes that, in the next 12 months, there are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease.  The Company is generally no longer subject to United States federal, state or local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2007.

13. 
Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.  It is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of such litigation will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.  Jackson has been named in civil litigation proceedings, which appear to be substantially similar to other class action litigation brought against many life insurers including a modal premium case and allegations of misconduct in the sale of insurance products.  The Company accrues for legal contingencies once the contingency is deemed to be probable and estimable.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, Jackson recorded accruals totaling $19.9 million and $29.0 million, respectively.

State guaranty funds provide payments for policyholders of insolvent life insurance companies. These guaranty funds are financed by assessing solvent insurance companies based on location, volume and types of business. The Company estimated its reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments based on data received from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Based on data received, the Company’s reserve for future state guaranty fund assessments was $26.6 million and $24.9 million at the end of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Related premium tax offsets were $15.3 million and $14.6 million  at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  While Jackson cannot predict the amount and timing of any future assessments, the Company believes the reserve is adequate for all anticipated payments for known insolvencies.
 
At December 31, 2011, the Company had unfunded commitments related to its investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies totaling $529.8 million.  At December 31, 2011, unfunded fixed-rate commercial mortgage loan commitments totaled $119.3 million.

The Company has received industry-wide regulatory inquiries with respect to claims settlement practices and compliance with unclaimed property laws. To date, only one state has requested a formal search for potential unreported claims.  Any regulatory audits, related examination activity and internal reviews may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties and changes in the Company’s procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property.  Based on its current analysis, at December 31, 2011, the Company accrued $25.0 million for these unreported claims.  Additionally, regulators and state legislators are considering proposals that would require life insurance companies to take additional steps to identify unreported deceased policy and contract holders.  Currently, there does not appear to be a consensus among state insurance regulators and state unclaimed property administrators regarding a life insurer’s obligations in connection with identifying unreported deaths of its policy and contract holders. 

The Company leases office space, land and equipment under several operating leases that expire at various dates through 2051.  Certain leases include escalating lease rates, lease abatements and other incentives and, as a result, at December 31, 2011, Jackson recorded a liability of $13.0 million for future lease payments.  Lease expense was $25.2 million, $22.3 million and $20.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2011, future minimum payments under these noncancellable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

2012
  $ 23,087  
2013
    20,880

Statutory Accounting Capital and Surplus

Under Michigan Insurance Law, dividends on capital stock can only be distributed out of earned surplus, adjusted to exclude any unrealized capital gains and the effect of permitted practices, unless the Commissioner approves the dividend prior to payment.  At December 31, 2011, the adjusted earned surplus of Jackson National Life Insurance Company was $595.6 million.  Furthermore, without the prior approval of the Commissioner, dividends are also subject to restrictions relating to statutory surplus and/or statutory earnings.  The maximum dividend which can be paid in 2012, subject to the availability of earned surplus, without prior approval of the Commissioner is $410.6 million.

The Company received capital contributions from its parent of $19.4 million, $150.1 million and $592.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The capital contributions included $19.4 million, $20.1 million and $21.4 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, from Brooke Life’s forgiveness of intercompany tax liabilities.  Dividend payments from the Company to its parent were $530.0 million, $275.0 million and $250.0 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Statutory capital and surplus of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $3.6 billion and $4.4 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Statutory net income (loss) of the Company, as reported in its Annual Statement, was $(591.1) million, $769.6 million and $373.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Commissioner has granted Jackson a permitted practice that allows Jackson to carry interest rate swaps at book value, as if statutory hedge accounting were in place, instead of at fair value as would have been otherwise required.  Jackson is required to demonstrate the effectiveness of its interest rate swap program pursuant to the Michigan Insurance Code.  This permitted practice expires on October 1, 2012.  At December 31, 2011, the effect of the permitted practice decreased statutory surplus by $474.4 million, net of tax.  Statutory surplus increased by $130.3 million at December 31, 2010 due to the effect of the permitted practice.  The permitted practice had no impact on statutory net income.

Other Related Party Transactions

The Company's investment portfolio is managed by PPM America, Inc. (“PPMA”), a registered investment advisor, and PPM Finance, Inc. (collectively, “PPM”).  PPM is ultimately a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential.  The Company paid $36.6 million, $37.2 million and $36.8 million to PPM for investment advisory services during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees and certain affiliates.  To be eligible to participate in the Company’s contribution, an employee must have attained the age of 21, completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a 12-month period and passed their 12-month employment anniversary.  In addition, the employee must be employed on the applicable January 1 or July 1 entry date.  The Company's annual contributions, as declared by the board of directors, are based on a percentage of eligible compensation paid to participating employees during the year.  In addition, the Company matches a participant’s elective contribution, up to 6 percent of eligible compensation, to the plan during the year.  The Company’s expense related to this plan was $18.0 million, $17.4 million and $16.3 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, comprised solely of the Company’s annual contributions to the plan.

The Company maintains non-qualified voluntary deferred compensation plans for certain agents and employees.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the liability for such plans totaled $121.5 million and $119.2 million, respectively, and is reported in other liabilities.  Jackson invests general account assets in selected mutual funds in amounts similar to participant elections as a hedge against significant movement in the payout liability.  The Company’s expense related to these plans, including a match of elective deferrals for the agents’ deferred compensation plan, was $(1.7) million, $22.5 million and $34.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Investment income from the mutual funds totaled $(3.7) million, $15.7 million and $27.6 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

17.  
Subsequent Event

In February 2012, Brooke Life received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment from the IRS, regarding an assessment related to its tax treatment of interest expense on intercompany debt.  Due to the intercompany tax sharing agreement, the effect of an adjustment, if any, would impact Jackson’s total stockholder’s equity.  The total aggregate exposure to the Company’s stockholder’s equity is approximately $130.0 million.  Brooke Life does not agree with the assessment, believes its current position is sustainable and intends to file a protest with the IRS once it receives the official report, which is expected to be issued in late March.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners as of February 29, 2012

Qualified – 754
Non-Qualified – 666

Item 28. Indemnification

Provision is made in the Company's Amended By-Laws for indemnification by the Company of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceedings, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Michigan.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
