The AFP defined contribution and profit sharing and defined benefit plans are available to all eligible employees of AFP. The benefits under these plans are based on years of service and employee compensation. AFP’s funding policy is to contribute to the plans an amount sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus any additional amounts determined to be appropriate from time to time. Contributions are intended to be sufficient to cover the costs of benefits earned for service to date and an estimate of those costs for future service. AFP contributed $2,035, $1,221 and $957 to the plans in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The invested assets of the plans consist of investments in various types and categories of stocks and bonds. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the fair market value of plan assets was $8,852 and $6,732, respectively. Pension costs for the years 2003, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $1,905, $1,255 and $978, respectively.

Significant resources have been committed to establishing the bank's advisory concept. This has involved the development of a first-class system for giving financial advice and related support systems, training and education of financial advisers and refurbishment of the bank's financial centres. At the same time the decision has been taken to discontinue the franchise distribution concept in order to concentrate activities on the financial advisory concept. Further improvements were made to Storebrand Bank's Internet banking service in 2000, and this is now recognised as the leading Internet service in Norway. Additional resources have also been committed to automating production and processing customer applications.

AIGFP has entered into commitments to provide liquidity for certain tax-exempt variable rate demand notes issued by municipal entities. The agreements allow the holders, in certain circumstances, to tender the notes to the issuer at par value. In the event a remarketing agent of an issuer is unable to resell such tendered notes, AIGFP would be obligated to purchase the notes at par value. With respect to certain notes that have been issued, AIGFP has fulfilled its liquidity commitments by arranging bank liquidity facilities. These banks agree to purchase the notes that AIGFP is otherwise obligated to purchase in connection with a failed remarketing. It is the intention of AIGFP to arrange similar liquidity with respect to the $123 million aggregate amount of notes that are expected to be issued through 1999.

ILS are particularly well-suited to provide protection against peak risks – events that happen infrequently but tend to lead to high losses, for example earthquakes or windstorms. ILS are used for both risk and capital management purposes in the P&C and the L&H business. For reinsurers they are attractive because they free up scarce capital; for insurers and corporate clients they provide multiyear collateralised protection; and for investors they offer attractive diversification possibilities, as they are relatively uncorrelated with other asset classes.

Benefit from and Provision for Income Taxes. The reported benefit from income taxes was $5.7 million for 2005 compared to a reported provision for income taxes of $4.5 million for 2004. The effective tax rate was 19.4% in 2005 compared to 38.8% in 2004. The 2005 tax rate was impacted by permanent differences created by specific write-offs of intangibles of $17.4 million, which had no tax basis, and other non-deductible items. At December 31, 2005, we had Federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $14.0 million which begin expiring in 2017.

The impact of the MONY acquisition increased $277.4 million in 2014 compared to 2013, which reflects four quarters in 2014 as compared to one quarter in 2013. In addition, a 2014 reinsurance recapture increased net premiums $9.0 million compared to 2013. This increase was partly offset by expected runoff. Net investment income increased $257.3 million, or 41.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to the MONY acquisition, which was offset by expected runoff of other blocks of business.

Personal lines. Net written premiums for personal lines decreased by 12.0% to $800.6 million in 2006, compared to $910.2 million in 2005. The decrease was attributable to reduced writings at AutoOne due to significant declines in New York’s assigned risk pool, and in traditional personal lines, premium decreased due to an increasingly competitive auto market and also Massachusetts state-mandated rate decreases. With respect to the New York assigned risk pool, market trends indicate that assigned risk volumes are expected to decline to approximately $200 million in 2007, down from $240 million in 2006, $383 million in 2005 and $629 million in 2004. Assigned risk volumes in New Jersey are also expected to decline in 2007. Market trends indicate that the assigned risk pool in New Jersey is expected to decline to approximately $140 million in 2007, down from $175 million in 2006, $275 million in 2005 and $375 million in 2004. We expect a reduction in AutoOne’s premium volume reflective of these trends.

On December 19, 2008, Old Republic Insurance Company and Republic Insured Credit Services, Inc., ("Old Republic") filed suit against Countrywide Bank FSB, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("Countrywide") and Bank of New York Mellon, BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware ("BNYM") in the Circuit Court, Cook County, Illinois (Old Republic Insurance Company, et al. v. Countrywide Bank FSB, et al.) seeking rescission of various credit indemnity policies issued to insure home equity loans and home equity lines of credit which Countrywide had securitized or held for its own account, a declaratory judgment and money damages based upon systemic material misrepresentations and fraud by Countrywide as to the credit characteristics of the loans or by the borrowers in their loan applications. Countrywide filed a counterclaim alleging a breach of contract, bad faith and seeking a declaratory judgment challenging the factual and procedural bases that Old Republic had relied upon to deny or rescind coverage for individual defaulted loans under those policies, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The Court ruled that Countrywide does not have standing to counterclaim with respect to the policies insuring the securitized loans because those policies were issued to BNYM. In response, Countrywide and BNYM jointly filed a motion asking the Court to allow an amended counterclaim in which BNYM would raise substantially similar allegations as those raised by Countrywide and make substantially similar requests but with respect to the policies issued to BNYM. The Court dismissed their motion, with leave to re-plead the counterclaim. BNYM's subsequent attempt to re-plead was granted by the Court.

As of December 31, 2020, EQ AZ Life Re holds $2.1 billion of assets in the EQ AZ Life Re Trust and letters of credit of $2.2 billion that are guaranteed by Holdings. Under the reinsurance transactions, EQ AZ Life Re is permitted to transfer assets from the EQ AZ Life Re Trust under certain circumstances. The level of statutory reserves held by EQ AZ Life Re fluctuate based on market movements, mortality experience and policyholder behavior. Increasing reserve requirements may necessitate that additional assets be placed in trust and/or additional letters of credit be secured, which could adversely impact EQ AZ Life Re’s liquidity.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 billion and $3.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accordingly, net cash provided by financing activities increased by $2.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the prior year. In 2008 the Company reduced securities lending activities in line with market conditions, which resulted in a decrease of $20.0 billion in the cash collateral received in connection with the securities lending program. Partially offsetting this decrease was a net increase of $15.8 billion in policyholder account balances, which primarily reflected the Company’s increased level of funding agreements with the FHLB of NY and with MetLife Short Term Funding LLC, an issuer of commercial paper (See “Extraordinary Market Conditions” and “Liquidity and Capital Sources - Global Funding Sources”). The Company also experienced a $6.9 billion increase in cash collateral received under derivatives transactions, primarily as a result of the improvement in estimated fair value of the derivatives. The cash collateral received under derivatives transactions is invested in cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments, which partly explains the major increase in this category of liquid assets. The Company increased short-term debt by $2.0 billion in 2008 compared with a decrease of $0.8 billion in 2007, which primarily reflected new activity at MetLife Bank, which borrowed $1.0 billion from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York under the Term Auction Facility and entered into $0.7 billion of short-term borrowing from the FHLB of NY in order to fund mortgage origination activity acquired by the Company in 2008 and provide a cost effective substitute for cash collateral received in connection with securities lending. In 2008 the net cash paid related to collateral financing arrangements was $0.5 billion resulting from the incurrence of price returns, which compares to $4.9 billion of cash provided by collateral financing arrangement transactions completed in 2007, as market conditions in 2008 reduced the availability and attractiveness of such financing. In 2008, there was a net issuance of $0.7 billion of long-term debt and junior subordinated debentures, compared to a net issuance in 2007 of $1.1 billion. Finally, in order to strengthen its capital base, in 2008 the Company reduced its level of common stock repurchase activity by $0.5 billion compared with 2007 only repurchasing $1.3 billion of common stock in 2008 as compared to $1.8 billion in 2007 and issued $3.3 billion of stock compared with no issuance in 2007. The Company also paid dividends on the preferred stock and common stock of $0.7 billion which was comparable to the dividends paid in 2007.

earnings potential. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary are: - The Company's ability and intent to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in value; - The recoverability of principal and interest; - The duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost for fixed income securities; - The financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issuer, including relevant industry conditions and trends, and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; and - The specific reasons that a security is in a significant unrealized loss position, including market conditions which could affect liquidity.

Our practice management segment earnings in 2002 decreased compared to 2001 primarily as a result of a decrease in client revenue combined with an increase in expenses. Client revenue decreases stem from a reduction in non-recurring consulting assignments; as medical practice income comes under increasing pressure due to reductions in the payer system, physicians have less discretionary funds available for consultant engagements. Expense decreases are due to the cessation of goodwill amortization due to the implementation of SFAS 142 beginning January 1, 2002, offset by expenses associated with the transition of client service for two of the former owners as they moved towards the expiration of their employment contracts at the end of 2002 and other transitional costs associated with the continued integration of the purchased companies.

2003 COMPARED TO 2002 -- Revenues increased as a result of realized gains in 2003 as compared to realized losses in 2002. See the Investments section for further discussion of investment results and related realized capital gains and losses. Also contributing to the increased revenues were higher earned premiums and net investment income in the Investment Products segment as compared to the prior year. The increase in earned premiums in Investment Products is attributed to higher sales in the institutional investment products business specifically in the terminal funding and structured settlement businesses. Additionally, net investment income increased due to higher general account assets in the individual annuity business and growth in assets in the institutional investments business. Fee income in the Investment Products segment was higher in 2003 compared to a year ago, as a result of higher average account values, specifically in individual annuities and mutual fund businesses, due primarily to stronger variable annuity sales. The Individual Life segment reported an increase in revenues in 2003 compared to a year ago driven by increases in fees and cost of insurance as life insurance in-force grew and aged, and variable universal life account values increased 30% due primarily to the growth in the equity markets. In addition, Group Benefits experienced an increase in revenues driven by increases in net investment income and earned premiums in 2003 as compared to a year ago. Partially offsetting these increases were lower fee income and net investment income in the COLI segment. The decrease in COLI net investment income for 2003 was primarily due to lower average leveraged COLI account values as a result of surrender activity. In addition, COLI had lower fee income due in part to lower sales in 2003, as compared to the prior year.
