Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited) 1. Organization and Operations Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Phoenix Companies, Inc. is a holding company and our operations are conducted through subsidiaries, the principal ones of which are Phoenix Life Insurance Company (Phoenix Life) and Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. (PXP). We have eliminated significant intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidating these financial statements. Also, we have reclassified certain amounts for 2002 to conform with 2003 presentations. We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing these financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at reporting dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results will differ from these estimates and assumptions. We employ significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of deferred policy acquisition costs; policyholder liabilities and accruals; the valuation of intangible assets; the valuation of investments in debt and equity securities and venture capital partnerships; pension and other post-employment benefits liabilities; and accruals for contingent liabilities. Our significant accounting policies are presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In our opinion, we have included all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six month periods in 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 2003. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In December 1999, we began the process of reorganizing and demutualizing our then principal operating company, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company. We completed the process in June 2001, when all policyholder membership interests in this mutual company were extinguished and eligible policyholders of the mutual company received shares of common stock of The Phoenix Companies, Inc., together with cash and policy credits, as compensation. To protect the future dividends of these policyholders, we also established a closed block for their existing policies, which we describe in Note 3. Concurrent with the demutualization, we sold additional shares of common stock of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. to the public. Accounting Changes Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: In the first quarter of 2002, we adopted a new accounting standard for goodwill and other intangible assets, including amounts reflected in our carrying value of equity-method investments. Under this new standard, we discontinued recording amortization expense on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but we continue recording amortization expense for those assets with definite estimated lives. For more information, see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Variable Interest Entities: In the third quarter of 2003, we will be adopting a new standard interpretation for the consolidation of variable interest entities. Variable interest entities are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if they do not effectively disperse risks among all parties involved. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its expected residual returns, or both, as a result of holding variable interests. 7 We are involved with various entities in the normal course of business that may be deemed to be variable interest entities and, as a result, we may hold interests in those entities. We serve as the investment advisor to eight collateralized bond obligations (CBOs) that were motivated by bond market arbitrage opportunities. We currently consolidate three of these CBOs. The eight CBOs have aggregate assets of $3 billion that are invested in a variety of fixed income securities and purchased from third parties. The CBOs reside in bankruptcy remote special purpose entities in which we neither provide recourse or guarantees. Our exposure under the new standard stems from our debt and equity investments in these CBOs in which affiliates earn advisory fees to manage the CBO portfolios. Our maximum exposure to loss with respect to the CBOs was $86.1 million at year-end 2002 and $75.7 million at June 30, 2003. We are still evaluating the effect of the adoption on our consolidation practices, however, we currently believe that adoption of this standard interpretation will not be material to our consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Stock-based Compensation: A new standard was issued in December 2002 which amends an existing standard on accounting for stock-based compensation. The new standard provides methods of transition for a voluntary change to fair value accounting for stock-based compensation. We adopted fair value accounting for stock-based compensation in 2003 using the prospective method of transition provided by the new standard, which results in expense recognition for stock options awarded after December 31, 2002. For more information, see Note 8 to this Form 10-Q. Business combinations On May 1, 2003, we acquired the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc. not already owned by us for initial consideration of $16.7 million. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to $89.0 million to the selling shareholders, including $13.0 million during the years 2004 through 2007 based on certain financial performance targets being met, and the balance in 2008 based on the appraised value of PFG Holdings as of December 31, 2007. We have accounted for our acquisition of the remaining interest in PFG Holdings as a step-purchase. Accordingly, we recorded a definite-lived intangible asset of $9.8 million related to the present value of future profits (PVFP) acquired and a related deferred tax liability of $3.4 million. The PVFP intangible asset will be amortized over the remaining estimated life of the underlying insurance inforce acquired, estimated to be 40 years. The remaining acquisition price of $7.6 million has been assigned to goodwill. We have not presented pro forma information as if PFG Holdings had been acquired at the beginning of January 2003, as it is not material to our financial statements. On June 30, 2003, we purchased the remaining interest in Capital West Asset Management, LLC not already owned by us for $1.1 million. We have accounted for our acquisition of the remaining interest as a step-purchase and we recorded $0.7 million for definite-lived investment management contracts and the remaining acquisition price of $0.4 million has been assigned to goodwill. We have not presented pro forma information as if Capital West Asset Management, LLC had been acquired at the beginning of January 2003, as it is not material to our financial statements. 8 We acquired a 60% interest in Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC (Kayne Anderson Rudnick) for $102.4 million on January 29, 2002; management of the company retained the remaining ownership interest. In addition to the initial cost of the purchase, we may make a subsequent payment of as much as $65.0 million in 2004 based upon management fee revenue for the purchased business through the end of 2003. At June 30, 2003, we estimate this payment to be in the range of $25.0 million to $35.0 million. We are also obligated to purchase an additional 15% interest in the company by 2007. We allocated $0.3 million of the purchase price to tangible net assets acquired and $102.1 million to intangible assets ($58.3 million to investment management contracts and $43.8 million to goodwill). Kayne Anderson Rudnick's results of operations for the period from January 30, 2002 through March 31, 2002 are included in our results of operations for the first quarter of 2002. We have not presented pro forma information as if Kayne Anderson Rudnick had been acquired at the beginning of January 2002, as it is not material to our financial statements. 2.

Financing Activities Stock Purchase Contracts In November 2002, we issued stock purchase contracts in a public offering. The stock purchase contracts are prepaid forward contracts issued by us that will be settled in shares of Hilb, Rogal & Hamilton Company (HRH) common stock. Upon issuance of the stock purchase contracts, we designated the embedded derivative instrument as a hedge of the forecasted sale of our investment in HRH, whose shares underlie the stock purchase contracts. All changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, we recognized a decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative of $6.2 million before income taxes ($4.0 million after income taxes) in other comprehensive income, primarily due to an increase in the quoted market price of HRH's common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we recognized an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative of $12.2 million before income taxes ($7.9 million after income taxes) in other comprehensive income, primarily due to a decrease in the quoted market price of HRH's common stock during the period. The quoted market price at June 30, 2003 ($34.04 per share) was below the price that we received at issuance of the stock purchase contracts. For more information, see Notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Employee Benefits During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, we contributed 115,104 and 157,437 treasury shares, respectively, to fund the employer match for our saving and investment benefit plans. These shares had a cost basis of $1.8 million and $2.5 million (weighted average cost of $15.87 per share) and an aggregate market value of $0.8 million and $1.2 million for the three and six month periods, respectively. Stock-based Compensation Pro forma earnings and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value method of accounting for all stock-based compensation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 follow ($ amounts in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Six Months ----------------------------- --------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------ Net loss, as reported.............................. $ (49.5) $ (37.2) $ (46.3) $ (138.6) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in net income (loss), net of applicable income taxes................... -- -- -- -- Deduct: Stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value accounting for all awards, net of applicable income taxes...

The options had a weighted-average fair value of $3.65 per option ($0.4 million aggregate) which will be expensed over the three year vesting period. Restricted Stock Units On April 14, 2003, we awarded 255,004 restricted stock units valued at $7.843 per share ($2.0 million aggregate); on January 1, 2003, we awarded 394,737 restricted stock units valued at $7.60 per share ($3.0 million aggregate). We will recognize the expense associated with these awards over the three-year vesting periods. We will issue the shares underlying the awards on the later of June 26, 2006 or each employee's termination of employment. We recognized $0.5 million and $0.7 million in compensation expense for these awards during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. On June 26, 2003, we issued 161,769 restricted stock units valued at $9.07 per share ($1.5 million aggregate) to satisfy deferred compensation liabilities with certain employees. There is no expense associated with this issuance as the expense was recognized previously when the liabilities were accrued. We will issued the shares underlying these restricted stock units on the later of June 26, 2006 or each employee's termination of employment. 9. Earnings Per Share We have not included common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding calculation for diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to our reported net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. If we had reported net income, there would have been 22 1,385,085 shares of common stock from restricted stock units and 7,707 shares of common stock from employee stock options. The weighted average effect from the restricted stock units for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 would have been 1,193,984 shares and 1,081,722 shares, respectively. The weighted average effect from the employee stock options for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 would have been 4,676 shares and 2,351 shares, respectively. Other common stock equivalents have exercise prices that were above the average closing price of our common stock during the periods presented. These include stock options (related to 4,169,538 of our common shares) and equity units (related to 17,423,859 to 21,256,826 of our common shares depending on our February 2006 quoted market price). The stock option exercise prices of $15.90 and $16.20 and equity units threshold appreciation price of $8.8206 were greater than the average market price of our common stock of $8.15 and $7.91 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively. 10. Contingent Liabilities In 1999, we discontinued our reinsurance operations through a combination of sale, reinsurance and placement of certain retained group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off. We adopted a formal plan to stop writing new contracts covering these risks and end the existing contracts as soon as those contracts would permit. However, we remain liable for claims under those contracts. We have established reserves and reinsurance recoverables for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves and reinsurance recoverables are a net present value amount that is based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect under our finite aggregate excess-of-loss reinsurance (finite reinsurance) and other reinsurance to cover our losses and the likely legal and administrative costs of winding down the business. Total reserves were $40.0 million and total reinsurance recoverable balances were $125.0 million as of June 30, 2003. In addition, in 1999 we purchased finite reinsurance to further protect us from unfavorable results from this discontinued business. The maximum coverage available from our finite reinsurance is currently $120.0 million. The amount of our total financial provisions as of June 30, 2003 was therefore $35.0 million, consisting of reserves, less reinsurance recoverable balances, plus the amount currently available from our finite reinsurance. We did not establish any additional reserves during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. We expect our reserves and reinsurance to cover the run-off of the business; however, the nature of the underlying risks is such that the claims may take years to reach the reinsurers involved. Therefore, we expect to pay claims out of existing estimated reserves for up to ten years as the level of business diminishes. Given the uncertainty associated with litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings, as described below, our estimated amount of the loss on disposal of reinsurance discontinued operations may differ from actual results. However, it is our opinion, after consideration of the provisions made in these financial statements, as described above, that future developments will not have a material effect on our financial position. Unicover Managers, Inc. A significant portion of the claims arising from our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business arises from the activities of Unicover Managers, Inc. (Unicover). Unicover organized and managed a group, or pool, of insurance companies (Unicover pool) and two other facilities (Unicover facilities), which reinsured the life and health insurance components of workers' compensation insurance policies issued by various property and casualty insurance companies. We were a member of the Unicover pool but terminated our participation in the pool effective March 1, 1999. 23 We are involved in disputes relating to the activities of Unicover. Under Unicover's underwriting authority, the Unicover pool and Unicover facilities wrote a dollar amount of reinsurance coverage that was many times greater than originally estimated. As a member of the Unicover pool, we are involved in several proceedings in which the pool members assert that they can deny coverage to certain insurers that claim that they purchased reinsurance coverage from the pool. Further, we were, along with Sun Life Assurance of Canada (Sun Life) and Cologne Life Reinsurance Company (Cologne Life), a retrocessionaire (meaning a reinsurer of other reinsurers) of the Unicover pool and two other Unicover facilities, providing the pool and facility members with reinsurance of the risks that the pool and facility members had assumed. In September 1999, we joined an arbitration proceeding that Sun Life had begun against the members of the Unicover pool and the Unicover facilities. In this arbitration, we and Sun Life sought to cancel our retrocession agreements on the grounds that material misstatements and nondisclosures were made to us about, among other things, the amount of risks we would be reinsuring. The arbitration proceeded only with respect to the Unicover pool because we, Sun Life and Cologne Life reached settlement with the two Unicover facilities in the first quarter of 2000. In October 2002, the arbitration panel issued its decision that the agreement by which we provided retrocessional reinsurance to the pool was valid only to the extent of business bound or renewed to that agreement on or before August 31, 1998. This decision had the effect of granting us a substantial discount on our potential liabilities, because most of the business was bound or renewed to the agreement after August 31, 1998. In a clarification dated January 4, 2003, the arbitration panel confirmed its decision. A significant portion of our remaining potential liabilities as a retrocessionaire of the pool may be recovered from our retrocessionaires. In one of the Unicover facilities' settlements, the Reliance facility settlement of January 2000, we paid a settlement amount of $97.9 million and were released from all of our obligations as a retrocessionaire of the facility. Subsequently, we were reimbursed by one of our retrocessionaires for $38.8 million of the amount we paid under the settlement. A significant portion of the remainder of the settlement payment may be recovered from certain of our other retrocessionaires. In the other Unicover facilities' settlement, the Lincoln facility settlement of March 2000, we paid a settlement amount of $11.6 million and were released from all of our obligations as a retrocessionaire of the facility. A significant portion of the settlement payment may be recovered from certain of our retrocessionaires. The likelihood of obtaining the additional recoveries from our retrocessionaires cannot be estimated with a reliable degree of certainty at this stage of our recovery efforts. This is due in part to the lack of sufficient claims information (which has resulted from disputes among ceding reinsurers that have led to delayed processing, reporting blockages and standstill agreements among reinsurers) and in part to the matters discussed below under "Related Proceedings." The amounts paid and results achieved in the above settlements and arbitration decision are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. As the amounts previously reserved for these matters were sufficient, we established no additional reserves with respect to these settlements and arbitration decision. Related Proceedings In our capacity as a retrocessionaire of the Unicover business, we had an extensive program of our own reinsurance in place to protect us from financial exposure to the risks we had assumed. Currently, we are involved in separate arbitration proceedings with two of our own retrocessionaires which are seeking on various grounds to avoid paying any amounts to us. Because the same retrocession program that covers our Unicover business covers a significant portion of our other remaining group accident and health reinsurance business, we could have additional material losses if one or more of our retrocessionaires successfully avoids its obligations. With one of those retrocessionaires, we have three disputes. One concerns an agreement under which the retrocessionaire reinsures us for up to forty-five thousand dollars per loss in excess of a five thousand dollar retention. In June 2003, the arbitration panel issued its decision, which upheld in all material respects the 24 retrocessional obligations to us. The decision is the subject of a pending appeal only with respect to the Unicover business. The other two disputes will not have a material effect on our reinsurance recoverable balances. As of June 30, 2003, the reinsurance recoverable balance from this retrocessionaire related to paid losses was $44.0 million, subject to further development. The dispute with the other retrocessionaire, which seeks to avoid an excess-of-loss retrocession agreement, a surplus share retrocession agreement and a quota share retrocession agreement, is the subject of a pending arbitration that is scheduled for November, 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the reinsurance recoverable balance from this retrocessionaire related to paid losses was $11.0 million, subject to further development. We have entered into a standstill agreement with another retrocessionaire under which both parties have agreed not to commence any proceedings against the other without providing written notice within a specified period. The purpose of the agreement is to allow the parties to investigate the existence and extent of their contractual obligations to each other. As of June 30, 2003, the reinsurance recoverable balance from this retrocessionaire related to paid losses was $28.0 million, subject to further development. At this stage, we cannot predict the outcome of the above matters, nor can we estimate the amount at risk with a reliable degree of certainty. This is due in part to our lack of sufficient claims information (which has resulted from disputes among ceding reinsurers that have led to delayed processing, reporting blockages, and standstill agreements among reinsurers). This applies with regard both to business related to Unicover and not related to Unicover. Other Proceedings Another set of disputes involves personal accident business that was reinsured in the mid-1990s in the London reinsurance market, in which we participated. These disputes involve multiple layers of reinsurance and allegations that the reinsurance program created by the brokers involved in placing those layers was interrelated and devised to disproportionately pass losses to a top layer of reinsurers. Many companies who participated in this business are involved in litigation or arbitration in attempts to avoid their obligations on the basis of misrepresentation. Because of the complexity of the disputes and the reinsurance arrangements, many of these companies are currently participating in negotiations of the disputes for certain contract years, and we believe that similar discussions will follow for the remaining years. Although we are vigorously defending our contractual rights, we are actively involved in the attempt to reach negotiated business solutions. At this stage, we cannot predict the outcome, nor can we estimate the amount at risk with a reliable degree of certainty. This is due in part to our lack of sufficient claims information (which has resulted from disputes among ceding reinsurers that have led to delayed processing, reporting blockages, and standstill agreements among reinsurers). 25 ITEM 2.

The company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reviews our consolidated financial condition as of June 30, 2003 as compared to year-end 2002; our consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002; and, where appropriate, factors that may affect our future financial performance. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim financial statements and notes contained in this filing as well as in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year 2002 on Form 10-K. 26 Overview We are a leading provider of wealth management products and services offered through a variety of select advisors and financial services firms to serve the accumulation, preservation and transfer needs of the affluent and high-net-worth market, businesses and institutions. We refer to our products and services together as our wealth management solutions. We offer a broad range of life insurance, annuity and investment management solutions through a variety of distributors. These distributors include affiliated and non-affiliated advisors and financial services firms who make our solutions available to their clients. We provide our wealth management solutions through two operating segments - Life and Annuity and Asset Management - which include three businesses, life insurance, annuities and investment management. Through Life and Annuity we offer a variety of life insurance and annuity products, including universal, variable universal, whole and term life insurance, and a range of annuity offerings. We conduct activities in Asset Management largely through Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. (PXP) comprising two lines of business - private client and institutional. Business combinations In the second quarter of 2003, we acquired the remaining interests in PFG Holdings, Inc. and Capital West Asset Management, LLC not already owned by us for $17.8 million. We acquired a 60% interest in Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC (Kayne Anderson Rudnick) for $102.4 on January 29, 2002; management of the company retained the remaining ownership interest. For additional information, see Note 1 to this Form 10-Q. The Demutualization Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company demutualized on June 25, 2001 by converting from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Phoenix Companies, Inc. and changed its name to Phoenix Life Insurance Company (Phoenix Life). See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the demutualization and Note 3 for more information regarding the closed block. Recently Issued Accounting Standards See Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 contained herein. Critical Accounting Policies The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are reflective of significant judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The following are areas that we believe require significant judgments, together with references to the footnote(s) where each accounting policy is discussed as it relates to our business: o Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, or DAC, and Present Value of Future Profits, or PVFP The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions, underwriting, distribution and policy issue 27 expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily related to production of new business, are deferred. In connection with the 1997 acquisition of the Confederation Life business, we recognized an asset for the present value of future profits (PVFP) representing the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the existing contracts acquired. This asset is included in deferred acquisition costs (DAC). We amortize DAC and PVFP based on the related policy's classification. For individual participating life insurance policies, DAC and PVFP are amortized in proportion to estimated gross margins. For universal life, variable universal life and accumulation annuities, DAC and PVFP are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits. Policies may be surrendered for value or exchanged for a different one of our products (internal replacement). The DAC balance associated with the replaced or surrendered policies is amortized to reflect these surrenders. The amortization of DAC and PVFP requires the use of various assumptions, estimates and judgments about the future. Significant assumptions include expenses, investment performance, mortality and policy cancellations (i.e., lapses, withdrawals and surrenders). These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are generally based on our past experience, industry studies, regulatory requirements and judgments about the future. Changes in estimated gross margins and gross profits based on actual experiences are reflected as an adjustment to total amortization to date resulting in a charge or credit to earnings. Finally, analyses are performed periodically to assess whether there are sufficient gross margins or gross profits to amortize the remaining DAC balances. We regularly evaluate our estimated gross profits, or EGPs, to determine if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier estimates should be revised. Several assumptions considered to be significant in the development of EGPs include separate account fund performance, surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread and estimated mortality. The separate account fund performance assumption is critical to the development of the EGPs related to our variable annuity and variable and interest-sensitive life insurance businesses. The average long-term rate of assumed separate account fund performance used in estimating gross profits was 7% for the variable annuity business and 8% for the variable life business at December 31, 2002. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and contained herein and Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for more information. o Policy Liabilities and Accruals See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and contained herein and Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk herein for more information. o Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets At the beginning of 2002, we adopted the new accounting standard for goodwill and other intangible assets, including amounts reflected in our carrying value of equity-method investments. Under this new standard, we discontinued recording amortization expense on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but we continue recording amortization expense for those intangible assets with definite estimated lives. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we perform impairment tests at the reporting-unit level at least annually. For purposes of the impairment test, the fair value of the reporting units is based on the sum of: a multiple of revenue, plus the fair value of the units' tangible fixed assets. Prior to 2002, we amortized goodwill principally over 40 years and investment management contracts and employment contracts over five to 16 years and three to seven years, respectively. All amortization expense has been and continues to be calculated on a straight-line basis. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and contained herein for more information. 28 o Valuation of Debt and Equity Securities We classify our debt and equity securities as available-for-sale and report them in our balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is based on quoted market price, where available. When quoted market prices are not available, we estimate fair value by discounting debt security cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments and by independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models. Investments whose value, in our judgment, is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value as a charge to realized losses included in our earnings. The cost basis of these written down investments is adjusted to fair value at the date the determination of impairment is made. The new cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in value. For mortgage-backed and other asset-backed debt securities, we recognize income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic lives of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income. For certain asset-backed securities, changes in estimated yield are recorded on a prospective basis and specific valuation methods are applied to these securities to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in value. We report mortgage loans at unpaid principal balances, net of valuation reserves on impaired mortgages. We consider a mortgage loan to be impaired if we believe it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts of contractual interest and principal as scheduled in the loan agreement. We do not accrue interest income on impaired mortgage loans when the likelihood of collection is doubtful. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and contained herein, Debt and Equity Securities section of Management's Discussion and Analysis and Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for more information. o Valuation of Investments in Affiliates We evaluate our equity method investments for an other than temporary impairment at each balance sheet date considering quantitative and qualitative factors including quoted market price of underlying equity securities, the duration the carrying value is in excess of fair value and historical and projected earnings and cash flow capacity. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and contained herein and the Aberdeen Asset Management section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for more information. o Valuation of Investments in Venture Capital Partnerships We record our equity in the earnings of venture capital partnerships in net investment income using the most recent financial information received from the partnerships and estimating the earnings for any lag in reporting. In the first quarter of 2001, we changed our accounting for venture capital partnership earnings to eliminate the quarterly lag in information provided to us. We did this by estimating the change in our share of partnership earnings for the quarter. This resulted in a $75.1 million charge ($48.8 million after income taxes), representing the cumulative effect of this accounting change on the fourth quarter of 2000. To estimate the net equity in earnings of the venture capital partnerships for each quarter, we developed a methodology to estimate the change in value of the underlying investee companies in the venture capital partnerships. For public investee companies, we use quoted market prices at the end of each quarter, applying liquidity discounts to these prices in instances where such discounts were applied in the underlying partnerships' financial statements. For private investee companies, we apply a public industry sector index to roll the value forward each quarter. We apply this methodology consistently each quarter with subsequent adjustments to reflect market events reported by the partnerships (e.g., new rounds of financing, initial public offerings and writedowns by the general partners). Our methodology recognizes both downward and upward change in value of the underlying investee companies, but we do not exceed the last reported value by the partnerships. We adjust estimated partnership results to actual results reported by the venture capital partnerships in the period in which venture capital partnerships financial statements are received. The effect of adjusting estimated partnership results to actual results was to increase investment income by $3.3 million 29 and $33.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and by $2.1 million and $14.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and contained herein for more information. o Pension and other Post-employment Benefits See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for more information on our pension and other post-employment benefits. Consolidated Results of Operations The following table and discussion presents summary consolidated financial data for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 ($ amounts in millions).

Compared to the prior year three and six month periods, premium revenue for traditional life policies decreased by $9.5 million to $243.5 million from $253.0 million, and by $20.8 million to $489.6 million from $510.4 million, respectively. For the three and six month periods, insurance and investment product fees decreased by $12.1 million and $19.5 million, respectively, primarily due to decreases in both private client and institutional assets under management. This decrease was partially offset by higher sales and a growing in-force in universal life and variable universal life products. Specifically, higher net amounts at risk and higher attained ages in these two lines of business resulted in recognition of higher fees. Net investment income for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003, increased by $48.1 million and $93.6 million, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in general account spread-type funds partially offset by lower rates earned on invested assets. The increase was also attributable to improved conditions in the private equity markets compared to weak market conditions in the prior year as well as to the reconciliation to the partnerships' audited fourth quarter financial statements to previously estimated amounts in the venture capital segment. Net realized investment losses for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003, increased by $76.0 million and $53.3 million, respectively, primarily due to an other-than-temporary impairment on our ownership of Aberdeen common stock. This impairment was partially offset by higher realized gains on debt securities during the six month period. For the three month periods ending June 30, 2003, policy benefits and policyholder dividends decreased $3.8 million to $442.6 million from $446.4 million from the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to an increase in the policyholder dividend obligation during the prior year quarter of $21.5 million compared to $2.4 million during the current year quarter. This was partially offset by increased interest credited on the guaranteed interest accounts and fixed annuities. For the six month period ending, June 30, 2003 and 2002, policy benefits and policyholder dividends, increased $55.4 million from $854.5 million to $909.9 million primarily due to higher interest credited on guaranteed interest accounts and fixed annuities. For the three month periods ending June 30, 2003, policy acquisition cost amortization, increased $14.5 million to $25.9 million from $11.4 million, or 127%, over the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to a higher level of amortization for participating life insurance related to a one-time investment gain combined with lower levels of amortization in the second quarter of 2002. For the six month period ending June 30, 2003 and 2002, policy acquisition cost amortization increased $53.4 million, from $0.5 million to $53.9 million primarily due to higher amortization for participating life insurance (as described above), a decrease to amortization in 2002 related to a revision of the mortality assumption for our participating life block (see Note 3 of the financial statements included in this form 10-Q for additional information), and increased amortization for variable universal life and annuities. Our income tax benefit of $34.4 million and $37.0 million applicable to operating income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, differed from the statutory U.S. federal income tax benefit of $28.6 million and $27.4 million as a result of the tax benefits associated with low income housing tax credits and 31 non-taxable dividend and interest income. The six month period ended June 30, 2003 was also affected by the recovery of interest amounts previously paid to the Internal Revenue Service (I.R.S). The effective income tax benefit of $26.7 million and $14.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 also differed from the statutory U.S. federal income tax benefit of $21.2 million and $5.8 million as a result of the tax benefits associated with low income housing tax credits, non-taxable dividend and interest income and the recovery of non-taxable amounts related to an I.R.S settlement. Based on the current low level of pre-tax operating income in relation to permanent tax benefits, future changes in our pre-tax operating income may produce disproportionate changes to our effective income tax rate. As a result, our effective income tax benefit rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 should not be considered an estimate of the effective income tax rate for the year 2003. The effective income tax benefit rate for the year 2002 was 35.5%. Results of Operations by Segment We evaluate segment performance on the basis of segment income. Realized investment gains and losses and certain other items are excluded because we do not consider them when evaluating the financial performance of the segments. The size and timing of realized investment gains and losses are often subject to our discretion. Certain items are removed from segment after-tax income if, in our opinion, they are not indicative of overall operating trends. While some of these items may be significant components of net income reported in accordance with GAAP, we believe that segment income is an appropriate measure that represents the earnings attributable to the ongoing operations of the business. Also, all interest expense is included in the Corporate and Other segment, as well as several smaller subsidiaries and investment activities which do not meet the thresholds of reportable segments. These include our remaining international operations and the run-off of our group pension and guaranteed investment contract businesses. The criteria used to identify an item that will be excluded from segment income include: whether the item is infrequent and is material to the segment's income; or whether it results from a business restructuring or a change in regulatory requirements, or relates to other unusual circumstances (e.g., non-routine litigation). We include information on other items allocated to our segments in their respective notes for information only. Items excluded from segment income may vary from period to period. Because these items are excluded based on our discretion, inconsistencies in the application of our selection criteria may exist. Segment income is not a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled measures of other companies. Segment Allocations We allocate capital to our Life and Annuity segment based on risk-based capital (RBC) for our insurance products. We used 300% RBC levels for 2003 and 2002. Capital within our Life Companies that is unallocated is included in our Corporate and Other segment. We allocate capital to our Asset Management segment on the basis of the historical capital within that segment. We allocate net investment income based on the assets allocated to the segments. We allocate tax benefits related to tax advantaged investments to the segment that holds the investment. We allocate certain costs and expenses to the segments based on a review of the nature of the costs, time studies and other methodologies. 32 Life and Annuity Segment The following table and discussion present summary financial data relating to the Life and Annuity segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 ($ amounts in millions).

Compared to the prior year three and six month periods, premium revenue for traditional life policies decreased by $9.5 million to $243.5 million from $253.0 million, and by $20.8 million to $489.6 million from $510.4 million, respectively. For the three and six month periods, insurance and investment product fees increased by $0.7 million and $1.4 million, 1% and 1%, respectively, primarily due to higher sales and a growing in-force in universal life and variable universal life products. Specifically, higher net amounts at risk and higher attained ages in these two lines of business resulted in recognition of higher fees. Net investment income for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003, increased by $13.9 million and $39.2 million, or 5.9% and 8.5%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in general account spread-type funds partially offset by lower rates earned on invested assets. At June 30, 2003, annuity funds under management for general account funds under management were approximately $1.0 billion higher than at June 30, 2002. For the three month periods ending June 30, 2003, policy benefits, including policyholder dividends, decreased $5.1 million to $449.9 million from $455.0 million, or 1%, from the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to an increase in the policyholder dividend obligation during the prior year quarter of $21.5 million compared to $2.4 million during the current year quarter. This was partially offset by increased interest credited on the guaranteed interest accounts and fixed annuities. For the six month period ending, June 30, 2003 and 2002, policy benefits, including policyholder dividends, increased $10.5 million, or 1%, from $894.7 million to $905.2 million primarily due to higher interest credited on guaranteed interest accounts and fixed annuities. 33 For the three month periods ending June 30, 2003, policy acquisition cost amortization, increased $12.4 million to $24.7 million from $12.3 million, or 101%, over the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to a higher level of amortization for participating life insurance related to a one-time investment gain combined with lower levels of amortization in the second quarter of 2002. For the six month period ending, June 30, 2003 and 2002, policy acquisition cost amortization, increased $25.2 million, or 93%, from $27.0 million to $52.2 million primarily due to higher amortization for participating life insurance (as described above) and increased amortization for variable universal life and annuities. For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2003, allocated income taxes decreased $1.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively, from the same period in the prior year as a result of lower segment income before income taxes as well as a current year allocation of the tax benefit of tax advantaged investments to the Life and Annuity segment. Life and Annuity segment revenues by product for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are as follows: Three Months Six Months ------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- 2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change ------------- ------------ ---------- ------------- ----------- ------------ Variable universal life insurance..................... $ 28.8 $ 25.2 $ 3.6 $ 57.1 $ 51.2 $ 5.9 Universal life insurance........ 47.5 49.7 (2.2) 95.6 97.0 (1.4) Term life insurance............. 2.3 2.8 (0.5) 5.4 3.8 1.6 Other life insurance............ 35.0 39.4 (4.4) 68.9 76.3 (7.4) ------------- ------------ ---------- ------------- ----------- ------------ Total non-participating life insurance..................... 113.6 117.1 (3.5) 227.0 228.3 (1.3) Participating life insurance.... 416.7 419.9 (3.2) 827.7 834.0 (6.3) ------------- ------------ ---------- ------------- ----------- ------------ Total life insurance............ 530.3 537.0 (6.7) 1,054.7 1,062.3 (7.6) Annuities....................... 48.8 38.4 10.4 97.3 71.3 26.0 ------------- ------------ ---------- ------------- ----------- ------------ Segment revenues................ $ 579.1 $ 575.4 $ 3.7 $ 1,152.0 $ 1,133.6 $ 18.4 ============= ============ ========== ============= =========== ============ For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, variable universal life product revenues increased $3.6 and $5.9 million, or 14% and 12%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002, primarily due to higher cost of insurance fees, from higher sales and a growing in-force, and higher surrender charges, partially offset by lower interest earned. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, universal life product revenues decreased $2.2 and $1.4 million, or 4% and 1%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2002, primarily due to lower interest earned, offset by higher cost of insurance fees, from higher sales and a growing in-force. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, other life insurance revenues decreased $4.4 and $7.4 million, or 11% and 10%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2002, primarily due to lower revenues in its non-life insurance subsidiaries. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, participating life product revenues decreased $3.2 and $6.3 million, or 1% and 1%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2002, primarily due to a continued shift in sales from traditional life to universal life products as well as a continued decline in traditional life in-force business. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, annuity product revenues increased $10.4 and $26.0 million, or 27% and 36%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002, primarily due to higher interest earned on higher spread based asset funds. 34 Life and Annuity segment income before income taxes by product for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is as follows: Three Months Six Months ------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- 2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change ------------ ------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- ---------- Variable universal life insurance......................... $ 9.3 $ 8.1 $ 1.2 $ 15.6 $ 18.2 $ (2.6) Universal life insurance............ 5.6 8.3 (2.7) 10.3 14.2 (3.9) Term life insurance.................

This was primarily due to favorable insurance margins from growing in-force and favorable mortality, and improved investment margins, partially offset by higher amortization of deferred acquisition costs (DAC). For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, variable universal life product pre-tax income for 2003 decreased $2.6 million, or 14% from the comparable period in 2002. The decrease is primarily due to higher non-deferrable expenses, and higher DAC amortization resulting primarily from favorable mortality and higher surrenders charges. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, universal life product pre-tax income decreased $2.7 and $3.9 million, or 33% and 27%, respectively, primarily due to lower investment margins and higher non-deferrable expenses. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, term product pre-tax income decreased $2.7 and $1.8 million, or 142% and 129%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2002, primarily due to higher benefit costs. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, other life insurance pre-tax income decreased $1.7 million, or 74% from the comparable period in 2002, primarily due to lower earnings in the non-life insurance subsidiaries. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, other life product pre-tax income increased $2.6 million, or 520% over the comparable period in 2002, primarily due to improved 2003 results for our Group Executive Ordinary (corporate owned life product) and Single Premium Immediate Annuity lines of businesses, partially offset by lower earnings in the non-life insurance subsidiaries. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, participating life product pre-tax income increased $7.4 and $4.2 million, or 114% and 23%, respectively, over the comparable period in 2002, due primarily to a one time investment gain during the 2003 quarter and lower allocation of non-deferrable expenses, partially offset by higher DAC amortization. The six month increase was further offset by the release of a policyholder tax contingency in the first quarter of 2002 that did not recur in 2003. For the three month period ended June 30, 2003, annuity product pre-tax income decreased $2.2 million, or 275% from the comparable period in 2002, primarily due to lower fees, an increase in non-deferrable expenses and commissions, offset by lower benefit costs primarily due to a decrease in guaranteed minimum death benefits. For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, annuity pre-tax income decreased $10.0 million, or 303%, from the comparable period in 2002, primarily due to lower fees, an increase in non-deferrable expenses and commissions, plus an increase in DAC amortization due to narrower interest spreads and higher surrender charges. 35 Asset Management Segment The following table and discussion present summary financial data relating to Asset Management segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 ($ amounts in millions).

A decrease in billable assets under management for the private client and institutional lines of business decreased investment product fees by $8.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared with the same period in 2002. A decrease in billable assets under management for the private client and institutional lines of business decreased investment product fees by $14.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, compared with the same period in 2002. At June 30, 2003, Asset Management segment had $56.5 billion in assets under management, an increase of $2.5 billion, or 5%, from December 31, 2002 and a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 0.1%, from June 30, 2002. The increase from year-end 2002 resulted primarily from positive investment performance of $2.4 billion. Net asset outflows from December 31, 2002 of $0.5 billion were offset by increases in our Phoenix general account of $0.7 billion. Sales of private client products for the three and six month periods in 2003 were $1.0 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, a decrease of 52% and 47% from the same periods in 2002. Redemptions from existing accounts for the three and six month periods in 2003 were $1.2 billion and $2.4 billion, an increase of 25% and 12% from the same periods in 2002. Sales of institutional accounts for the three and six month periods in 2003 were $0.9 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, a decrease of 4% from both of the same periods in 2002. Lost accounts and withdrawals from existing accounts for the three and six month periods in 2003 were $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, a decrease of 48% and 39% from the same periods in 2002. The decrease in other operating expenses for the three and six month periods in 2003 was primarily due to $6.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively, of decreases in compensation expense, of which $2.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, related to incentive compensation. Other non-compensation related operating expenses decreased $3.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily in travel, professional and outside services, and brokerage clearing and execution costs. The decrease in these expenses was partially offset by $1.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of computer services charges that were previously included in compensation expense. 36 Allocated income tax benefits were $0.9 million and $2.5 million higher for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 as a result of lower segment income before tax and higher non-taxable income attributable to our minority interests. Assets under management were $56.5 billion and $54.0 billion, of which $15.3 billion and $14.5 billion at June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002, respectively, were our Life Companies' assets, including variable separate accounts. Venture Capital Segment Our venture capital investments are primarily in the form of limited partnership interests in venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and other private equity partnerships sponsored and managed by third parties. We record our investments in venture capital partnerships in accordance with the equity method of accounting. (See Venture Capital Partnerships in the Critical Accounting Policies contained herein.) Venture capital investments are investments of the general account of Phoenix Life. For more information, see Notes 4 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K During the first quarter of 2003, we sold a 50% interest in certain of our venture capital partnerships to an outside party and transferred the remaining 50% interest in those partnerships to our closed block. The carrying value of the partnerships being sold and transferred totaled $52.2 million after realizing a loss of $19.3 million ($5.0 million recorded in 2002 and $14.3 million recorded in 2003). The unfunded commitments of the partnerships sold and transferred totaled $27.2 million; the outside party and the closed block will each fund half of these commitments. At the time of transfer, the partnerships transferred constituted less than 0.5% of the assets of the closed block. The following table and discussion present summary financial data relating to our Venture Capital segment for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 ($ amounts in millions). Three Months Six Months ------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- 2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change ------------ ------------ ---------- ------------ ----------- --------- Results of Operations Net realized gains (losses) on partnership cash and stock distributions....................... $ 1.0 $ 7.4 $ (6.4) $ (5.2) $ (5.1) $ (0.1) Net unrealized gains (losses) on partnership investments............. 7.4 (35.7) 43.1 38.4 (26.2) 64.6 Partnership operating expenses........

The six month increase was also attributable to the reconciliation to the partnerships' audited fourth quarter financial statements to previously estimated amounts. Our accounting methodology makes downward adjustments based on public market indices, but limits upward adjustments to the amounts previously reported by the partnerships. Accordingly, we do not record gains until they are reported by the partnerships. The effect of our adjusting estimated partnership results to actual results was to increase investment income by $3.3 million and $33.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and by $2.1 million and $14.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. 37 Three Months Six Months ------------------------------------ ---------------------------------- Venture Capital Investments 2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change ------------ ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- --------- Contributions (dollars invested)....... $ 9.9 $ 7.5 $ 2.4 $ 21.5 $ 20.5 $ 1.0 Equity in earnings of partnerships..... 5.8 (29.9) 35.7 29.7 (34.9) 64.6 Distributions..........................

This was partially offset by distributions received during the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, venture capital investments decreased $24.0 million, primarily due to the sale of partnership interests to third parties and a transfer of partnership interests to the closed block, all during the first quarter. Corporate and Other Segment The following table and discussion present summary financial data relating to Corporate and Other for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 ($ amounts in millions). Three Months Six Months ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ 2003 2002 Change 2003 2002 Change ------------- ------------ --------- ------------- ----------- ---------- Results of Operations Interest expense.................. $ 9.9 $ 7.7 $ 2.2 $ 19.7 $ 15.4 $ 4.3 Other expenses, net............... 2.6 0.7 1.9 4.2 (1.1) 5.3 ------------- ------------ --------- ------------- ----------- ---------- Segment loss before income taxes..

This increase was primarily related to interest and issuance cost amortization associated with the equity units issued in December 2002. For the three and six month periods, other expenses, net increased by $1.9 million and $5.3 million, or 271% and 482%, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002. The increase for the three-month period was primarily due to higher net losses from our international operations. The increase for the six-month period was primarily due to higher net losses from our international operations and lower investment income, partially offset by lower unallocated corporate expenses. 38 General Accounts The invested assets in the general accounts of our Life Companies are generally of high quality and broadly diversified across asset classes, sectors and individual credits and issuers. Our Investment Management professionals manage these general account assets in investment segments that support specific product liabilities. These investment segments have distinct investment policies that are structured to support the financial characteristics of the specific liability or liabilities within them. Segmentation of assets allows us to manage the risks and measure returns on capital for our various businesses and products. Separate Account Investments and Investment Trusts Assets in our Life Companies' separate accounts are managed in accordance with the specific investment contracts and guidelines relating to our variable products. We generally do not bear any investment risk on assets held in separate accounts. Rather, we receive investment management fees based on assets under management. Generally, assets held in separate accounts are not available to satisfy general account obligations. Investment trusts are assets held for the benefit of those institutional clients which have investments in structured finance products offered and managed by our investment management subsidiary. Asset/Liability and Risk Management Our primary investment objective is to maximize after-tax investment return within defined risk parameters. Our primary sources of investment risk are: o credit risk, which relates to the uncertainty associated with the ongoing ability of an obligor to make timely payments of principal and interest; o interest rate risk, which relates to the market price and cash flow variability associated with changes in market interest rates; and o equity risk, which relates to the volatility of prices for equity and equity-like investments. We manage credit risk through fundamental analysis of the underlying obligors, issuers and transaction structures. We employ a staff of specialized and experienced credit analysts who review obligors' management, competitive position, financial statements, cash flow, coverage ratios, liquidity and other key financial and non-financial information. These specialists recommend the investments needed to fund our liability guarantees within diversification and credit rating guidelines. In addition, when investing in private debt securities, we rely upon broad access to management information, negotiated protective covenants, call protection features and collateral protection. We review our debt security portfolio regularly to monitor the performance of obligors and assess the integrity of their current credit ratings. We manage interest rate risk as part of our asset/liability management process and product design procedures. Asset/liability management strategies include the segmentation of investments by product line, and the construction of investment portfolios designed to satisfy the projected cash needs of the underlying liabilities. We identify potential interest rate risk in portfolio segments by modeling asset and liability durations and cash flows under current and projected interest rate scenarios. We use these projections to assess and control interest rate risk. We offer a variety of variable and fixed annuities to meet the accumulation and preservation needs of the affluent and high-net-worth market. Our major sources of revenues from separate account variable annuities are mortality and expense fees charged to the contractholder, generally determined as a percentage of the market value of the underlying assets under management. Our major source of profit from fixed annuities and general account variable annuities is from the interest rate spread, or the excess of investment income earned over interest credited. 39 In 2000, we began selling Retirement Planners Edge (RPE), a no-load variable annuity. Commissions on these sales were 1% to 1.2% per year depending on the distribution outlet. RPE was designed to attract contributions into variable sub-accounts on which we earn mortality and expense fees. During the second half of 2002, as planners and their clients sought refuge from stock market volatility and as interest rates dropped to historically low levels, policyholders allocated their deposits to general account guaranteed interest accounts carrying the regulatory required minimum crediting rate of 3%. In September 2002, we stopped accepting applications for RPE, although existing policyholders have the right to make subsequent deposits up to a maximum of $1 million per contract. Amounts held by our policyholders in RPE and other guaranteed interest accounts, or GIAs, and fixed annuities, as of June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002 follow ($ amounts in millions): Policyholder Deposit Funds 2003 2002 - -------------------------- -------------- -------------- Retirement Planners Edge GIAs............................................. $ 1,281.7 $ 1,345.6 Other variable annuity GIAs............................................... 928.8 813.7 -------------- -------------- Variable annuity GIAs..................................................... 2,210.5 2,159.3 Fixed annuities........................................................... 1,011.0 737.2 -------------- -------------- Total variable annuity GIAs and fixed annuities........................... $ 3,221.5 $ 2,896.5 ============== ============== As interest rates declined during the second half of 2002, we experienced reduced interest spreads on RPE guaranteed interest account liabilities, as we invested related cash inflows in shorter-term, lower yielding, primarily publicly-traded, investment-grade debt securities to correspond with what we believe to be short duration liabilities. To the extent short-term interest rates remain below the regulatory required minimum crediting rate of 3%, we expect to continue to experience spread compression on our variable guaranteed interest account deposits, particularly on the RPE GIA balances. In addition, we anticipate that, to the extent RPE guaranteed interest account balances do not lapse or transfer to variable sub-accounts, spread compression and additional commission payments on RPE fund balances will result in losses on our RPE variable annuity. Beginning in July 2003, we began to offer a Reallocation Benefit Rider to encourage RPE contract holders to reallocate current balances from the GIA option into variable subaccount options. This rider features a 0.25% bonus upon reallocation, an additional 0.50% six months after the exchange and an additional 0.50% twelve months after the exchange. In addition, contract holders who choose to reallocate balances from the GIA option will not be able to reallocate such balances back to the GIA under this rider. This program terminates on September 15, 2003. Debt and Equity Securities Our debt securities portfolio consists primarily of investment-grade publicly traded and privately placed corporate bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. As of June 30, 2003, debt securities with a carrying value of $13,200.4 million represented 78.1% of total investments. Public debt securities represented 78.5% of total debt securities, with the remaining 21.5% represented by private debt securities. Each year, the majority of our net cash flows are invested in investment grade debt securities. However, we maintain a portfolio allocation of between 6% and 10% of debt securities in below investment grade rated bonds. Allocations are based on our assessment of relative value and the likelihood of enhancing risk-adjusted portfolio returns. The size of our allocation to below investment grade bonds is also constrained by the size of our net worth. We are subject to the risk that the issuers of the debt securities we own may default on principal and interest payments, particularly in the event of a major economic downturn. Our investment strategy has been to invest the majority of our below investment grade rated bond exposure in the "BB" rating category, which is equivalent to a Securities Valuation Office, or SVO, securities rating of 3. The BB rating category is the highest quality tier within the below investment grade universe, and BB rated securities historically experienced lower defaults 40 compared to B or CCC rated bonds. As of June 30, 2003, our total below investment grade securities totaled $1,127.8 million, or 8.5% of our total debt security portfolio. Of that amount, $835.2 million, or 6.3% of our debt security portfolio was invested in the BB category. Our debt securities having an increased risk of default (those securities with an SVO rating of four or greater which is equivalent to B or below) totaled $292.6 million, or 2.2% of our total debt security portfolio. Our debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity. Accordingly, the carrying value of such securities reflects their fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value is based on quoted market price, where available. When quoted market prices are not available, we estimate fair value for debt securities by discounting projected cash flows based on market interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments and by independent pricing sources or internally developed pricing models. Investments whose value, in our judgment, is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to fair value as a charge to realized losses included in our earnings. The cost basis of these written down investments is adjusted to fair value at the date the determination of impairment is made. The new cost basis is not changed for subsequent recoveries in value. The following table presents our debt security portfolio at fair value as of June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002 ($ amounts in millions), by SVO ratings, along with an equivalent Standard & Poor's, or S&P, rating agency designation, and by public and private securities. The majority of our bonds are investment grade, with 91.5% invested in Categories 1 and 2 securities as of June 30, 2003.

Maximum exposure to an issuer is defined by quality ratings, with higher quality issuers having larger exposure limits. Our investment philosophy has been to create a high level of industry diversification. The top five industry holdings as of June 30, 2003 in our debt securities portfolio are banking (4%), diversified financial services (3%), insurance (3%), broker-dealers (2%) and food producers (2%). Our corporate bond exposure to recently troubled industries including telecommunication equipment, telephone utilities, airlines, and media, publishing and broadcasting comprises 4% of the debt securities portfolio at June 30, 2003. In addition, within the asset-backed securities sector our exposure to securitized aircraft receivable securities comprises approximately 1% of the debt securities portfolio, with less than one third of that exposure rated below investment grade at June 30, 2003. The following table presents certain information with respect to realized investment losses ($ amounts in millions). Losses from "other-than-temporary impairment" charges are reported separately. These impairment charges were determined based on our assessment of factors to be enumerated below, as they pertain to the individual securities determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Of that net amount, $400.7 million was outside the closed block ($169.9 million after applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred income taxes) and $641.7 million was in the closed block ($0.0 million after applicable policyholder dividend obligation). During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, both investment grade and below-investment grade bonds appreciated in value due to lower interest rates and reduced credit risk premiums. In particular, lower-rated corporate bonds experienced significant appreciation. As a result, we had a significant decline in unrealized losses on debt securities. A limited number of sectors such as aircraft-related financings and lower-rated collateralized debt obligations did not appreciate in value, and in some cases continued to experience price declines. At the end of each reporting period we review all securities for potential recognition of another-than- temporary impairment. We maintain a watch list for the identification and monitoring of securities in default, near default or otherwise considered by our investment professionals as being distressed, potentially distressed or requiring a heightened level of scrutiny. As validation of our watch list process, we review all securities whose amortized cost basis was in excess of carrying value on a continuous basis for durations of zero to six months, six to 12 months, 12 to 24 months and greater than 24 months. This analysis is further broken down as to investment grade and non-investment grade securities and closed block and outside of closed block securities. Using this analysis, coupled with our watch list, we review all securities whose fair value is less than 80% of amortized cost ("significant unrealized loss") with emphasis on below investment grade securities with a continuous significant unrealized loss in excess of six months. In addition, we review securities that had experienced lesser percentage declines in value on a more selective basis using many of the previously discussed factors that we consider in making a determination that a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. Our assessment of whether an investment by us in a debt or equity security is other-than-temporarily impaired includes whether the issuer has: o defaulted on payment obligations; o declared that it will default at a future point outside the current reporting period; o announced a restructure will occur outside the current reporting period; 44 o severe liquidity problems that cannot be resolved; o filed for bankruptcy; o a financial condition such that future payments are highly unlikely; o deteriorating financial condition and quality of assets; o earnings performance that has deteriorated relative to its peers; o sustained significant losses during the current year; o been downgraded by a ratings agency; o announced adverse changes or events such as changes or planned changes in senior management, restructurings, or a sale of assets; and/or o been affected by any other factors that indicate that the fair value of the investment may have been negatively impacted. The following tables present certain information with respect to our gross unrealized losses with respect to our investments in debt securities, both inside and outside of the closed block, as of June 30, 2003 ($ amounts in millions). In the following tables, we separately present information that is applicable to outside the closed block and information that is applicable to the closed block. We believe it is unlikely that there would be any effect on our net income related to the realization of closed block unrealized investment losses due to the current sufficiency of the policyholder dividend obligation liability in the closed block. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Applicable deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes further reduce the effect on our net income.

The aggregate unrealized loss relating to these positions was $20.9 million as of that date ($14.5 million of which relate to holdings in an unrealized loss position for more than 24 months). None of the 24 investment grade debt securities held outside the closed block were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2003. Four individual public issues aggregated $14.0 million in unrealized losses, all of which continue to, and in our opinion, are expected to continue to perform to their original contractual terms as of June 30, 2003. One security acquired in 1998 is an AAA-rated interest-only security that has declined in fair value due to the drop in interest rates. One security is an A-rated bank issue that has declined in fair value due to an increase in required credit spreads for the security. One security is an A2/A-rated issue that has declined in fair value due to the default of the original servicer of the pool of manufactured housing loans that are collateral for the transaction, and uncertainty about the new servicer. One security is an AA/Aa1-rated collateralized bond obligation that has declined in value due to a decline in value of the collateral backing the security and an increase in required credit spreads for this type of security. The remaining 20 investment grade debt securities held outside the closed block that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 have $6.9 million in unrealized losses. None of the remaining 20 securities has gross unrealized losses of greater than $0.8 million. These securities represent holdings in the banking and transportation sectors, collateralized bond obligations, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. We are of the opinion that these unrealized losses are temporary in nature, resulting primarily from market conditions affecting the overall equity, credit and interest rate markets. In addition, our analysis of the issuers' financial strength and our analysis of underlying collateral supported the conclusion that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Finally, as of June 30, 2003, we had the ability and intent to hold these securities until their value has fully recovered. 46 For the below-investment grade debt security positions held outside the closed block, 23 of the 47 security positions have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 (12 of which have been in an unrealized position for more than 24 months). The aggregate gross pre-tax unrealized loss relating to these 23 positions was $13.6 million ($5.1 million after offsets for applicable deferred acquisition costs and income taxes). $7.6 million ($2.6 million after offsets) of these unrealized losses have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 24 months. Two of the previously mentioned 47 securities with an unrealized loss of $1.1 million ($0.4 million after offsets) had unrealized losses greater than 20% of cost continuously for greater than 12 months. None of the 23 previously mentioned securities held outside the closed block were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2003. Of the 23 below-investment grade securities, 4 individual publicly-traded issues comprised approximately $9.7 million of the gross unrealized loss ($3.2 million after offsets), all of which continue to and, in our opinion, are expected to continue to perform as to their original contractual terms. One of these holdings is in collateralized airline pass-through certificates, one is a cable television operator obligation, one is a credit-card asset backed security, and one is a collateralized debt obligation. The remaining 19 below investment grade debt securities held outside the closed block that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 have $3.9 million in unrealized losses ($1.9 million after offsets). None of the remaining 19 holdings has gross unrealized losses greater than $0.6 million. These securities represent holdings in airline pass-through certificates and in the energy, telecommunications and retail sectors. We believe that these unrealized losses are temporary in nature and are primarily related to temporary market conditions affecting the overall equity, credit and interest rate markets as well as the airline, energy and Latin American sectors. In addition, our analysis of the issuers' financial strength and our analysis of underlying collateral supported the conclusion that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Finally, as of June 30, 2003, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until their value has fully recovered. 47 Gross unrealized losses on debt securities in the closed block at June 30, 2003 by duration of unrealized loss and by credit quality follow ($ amounts in millions): 0 - 6 6 - 12 12 - 24 Over 24 Debt Securities in Closed Block Total Months Months Months Months ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Total: Number of positions............... 108 80 2 7 19 ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Total fair value................. $ 508.4 $ 359.8 $ 10.7 $ 28.6 $ 109.3 Total amortized cost.............. 549.4 372.6 12.0 38.3 126.5 ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Unrealized losses................. $ (41.0) $ (12.8) $ (1.3) $ (9.7) $ (17.2) ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== Unrealized losses after offsets... $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== Investment grade: Number of positions............... 70 56 -- 2 12 ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Total fair value.................. $ 340.8 $ 270.0 $ -- $ 3.7 $ 67.1 Total amortized cost.............. 358.4 277.7 -- 6.7 74.0 ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Unrealized losses................. $ (17.6) $ (7.7) $ -- $ (3.0) $ (6.9) ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== Unrealized losses after offsets... $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== Below investment grade: Number of positions............... 38 24 2 5 7 ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Total fair value.................. $ 167.6 $ 89.8 $ 10.7 $ 24.9 $ 42.2 Total amortized cost.............. 191.0 94.9 12.0 31.6 52.5 ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Unrealized losses................. $ (23.4) $ (5.1) $ (1.3) $ (6.7) $ (10.3) ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== Unrealized losses after offsets... $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== For the below investment grade debt securities in the closed block at June 30, 2003, 8 of the 38 security positions had gross unrealized losses greater than 20% of cost continuously for the durations that follow ($ amounts in millions): 0-6 6-12 12-24 Over 24 Total Months Months Months Months ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Number of positions............... 8 5 1 2 -- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Total fair value.................. $ 27.9 $ 11.2 $ 10.8 $ 5.9 $ -- Total amortized cost.............. 41.7 17.0 13.5 11.2 -- ------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- -------------- Unrealized losses................. $ (13.8) $ (5.8) $ (2.7) $ (5.3) $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== Unrealized losses after offsets... $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============== ============== For the investment grade debt security positions held in the closed block, 14 of the 70 security positions have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 (12 of which have been in an unrealized loss positions for more than 24 months). The aggregate unrealized loss relating to these positions was $9.9 million as of that date ($6.9 million of which relates to securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 24 months). None of the 14 investment grade securities held in the closed block were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2003. Four individual public issues aggregated $6.6 million in unrealized losses, all of which continue to, and in our opinion, are expected to continue to perform to their original contractual terms as of June 30, 2003. One issue is an A-rated timber-collateralized holding that has declined in fair value due to a decline in the price of lumber. One security is an A-rated bank issue that has declined in fair value due to an increase in required credit spreads for this type of security. Two issues are collateralized aircraft financings that have declined in fair value due to airline bankruptcies, reduced travel and higher risk premiums required for aircraft-related investments. The remaining 10 investment grade debt securities held in the closed block that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 48 have $3.3 million in unrealized losses. None of the remaining 10 securities has gross unrealized losses greater than $0.6 million. These securities represent holdings in mortgage or asset-backed securities and holdings in the airline, transportation, energy, and banking sectors. We are of the opinion that these unrealized losses are temporary in nature and are primarily related to temporary market conditions affecting the overall equity, credit and interest rate markets, as well as the energy sectors. In addition, our analysis of the issuers' financial strength and our analysis of underlying collateral supported the conclusion that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Finally, as of June 30, 2003, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until their value has fully recovered. For the below investment grade security positions held in the closed block, 12 of the 38 security positions have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 (7 of which have been in unrealized loss positions for more than 24 months). The aggregate gross pre-tax unrealized loss relating to these positions was $17.0 million ($10.3 million of which relates to securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 24 months). None of the 12 previously mentioned securities held in the closed block were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2003. Two of these securities with unrealized losses of $5.3 million had unrealized losses greater than 20% of cost continuously for greater than 12 months. Of the 12 below investment grade positions, 7 individual public issues comprise approximately $14.7 million of the gross unrealized loss, all of which continue to and, in our opinion, are expected to continue to perform as to their original contractual terms. One issue is an asset-backed security collateralized by franchise loan receivables that has declined in value due to deterioration in the franchise receivables. One issue is a multi-line insurance company holding that has declined in fair value due to financial losses. One issue is an energy/power generation related holding that has declined in fair value due to downgrades, bankruptcies and weakness in the energy market. Three issues are collateralized airplane lease related holdings that have declined in fair value due to airline bankruptcies, reduced travel and higher risk premiums required for aircraft-related investments. One issue is a security that has declined in fair value due to the default of the original servicer of the pool of manufactured housing loans that are collateral for the transaction and potential reductions in future cash flows. The remaining 5 below investment grade debt securities held in the closed block that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 have $2.3 million in unrealized losses. None of the remaining 5 holdings has gross unrealized losses greater than $0.3 million. These securities represent holdings in airline pass-through certificates, other asset backed securities, and in the energy, media, theatre and consumer products sectors. We are of the opinion that these unrealized losses are temporary in nature and are primarily related to temporary market conditions affecting the overall equity, credit and interest rate markets as well as the airline and energy sectors. In addition, our analysis of the issuers' financial strength and our analysis of underlying collateral supported the conclusion that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Finally, as of June 30, 2003, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until their value has fully recovered. 49 Gross unrealized losses on equity securities (all of which were outside of the closed block) as of June 30, 2003 by duration of unrealized loss follow ($ amounts in millions): 0-6 6-12 12-24 Over 24 Equity Securities Total Months Months Months Months ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Number of positions................ 134 84 14 22 14 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total fair value................... $ 14.3 $ 4.8 $ 3.8 $ 3.4 $ 2.3 Total cost......................... 17.9 5.6 5.6 4.1 2.6 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Unrealized losses.................. $ (3.6) $ (0.8) $ (1.8) $ (0.7) $ (0.3) ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= Unrealized losses after offsets.... $ (2.3) $ (0.5) $ (1.2) $ (0.4) $ (0.2) ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= As indicated in the above table, $1.0 million ($0.6 million after income taxes) of our gross unrealized losses in equity securities were continuously in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of June 30, 2003 ($0.3 million relates to securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 24 months). For equity securities at June 30, 2003, 17 of the 134 security positions had gross unrealized losses greater than 20% of cost continuously for the durations that follow ($ amounts in millions): 0-6 6-12 12-24 Over 24 Total Months Months Months Months ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Number of positions................ 17 10 5 2 -- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total fair value................... $ 3.9 $ 0.5 $ 3.1 $ 0.3 $ -- Total amortized cost............... 6.2 0.9 4.9 0.4 -- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Unrealized losses.................. $ (2.3) $ (0.4) $ (1.8) $ (0.1) $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= Unrealized losses after offsets.... $ (1.6) $ (0.3) $ (1.2) $ (0.1) $ -- ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= In determining that the securities giving rise to the previously mentioned unrealized losses were not other-than-temporarily impaired, we evaluated the factors cited above, which we consider when assessing whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. In making these evaluations, we must exercise considerable judgment. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from our judgments and that such differences may require the future recognition of other-than-temporary impairment charges that could have a material affect on our financial position and results of operations. In addition, the value of, and the realization of any loss on, a debt security or equity security is subject to numerous risks, including; interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The magnitude of any loss incurred by us may be affected by the relative concentration of our investments in any one issuer or industry. We have established specific policies limiting the concentration of our investments in any single issuer and industry and believe our investment portfolio is prudently diversified. At June 30, 2003, no single non-affiliated issuer constituted more than $8.5 million of our gross unrealized losses. Aberdeen Asset Management PLC Our ownership of Aberdeen convertible debt securities includes two issues: $32.5 million of 7.5% convertible subordinated notes and $19.0 million in 5.875% convertible bonds. The 7.5% convertible subordinated notes were originally issued in 1996 at 7%, with a maturity of March 29, 2003, subject to four six-month extensions at Aberdeen's option with increasing rates for each extension. In 2003, these notes were partially paid down by $5.0 million, with the remainder extended, subject to a rate increase to 7.5% and a maturity of September 29, 2003. The 5.875% convertible bonds were issued in 2002 and mature in 2007. The carrying value of these issues, which have investment grade ratings and are included in available-for-sale debt securities, was $41.4 50 million and $52.7 million at June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002, respectively. The cost of these issues was $54.2 million and $58.7 million at June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002, respectively. Our ownership of Aberdeen common stock includes 4% of the company's outstanding common shares that we purchased in May 2001 for $46.8 million and 18% of its outstanding common shares that we purchased between 1996 and 1999 for $62.3 million. As of June 30, 2003, we concluded that our equity investment in Aberdeen, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, was other-than-temporarily impaired resulting in an $89.1 million pre-tax, non-cash charge to earnings in the quarter ending June 30, 2003. The carrying value of our equity investment in Aberdeen was $34.4 million and $119.3 million at June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002, respectively. The fair value, based on quoted market price of underlying shares, of our equity investment in Aberdeen was $34.4 million and $43.6 million at June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002, respectively. During the second half of 2002, the value of Aberdeen's publicly traded shares experienced a significant decline due to a general decline in valuations of U.K. asset managers as well as regulatory matters related to the U.K. split-capital trust sector, including Aberdeen's managed funds. In late 2002, Aberdeen announced the results of a strategic review, which concluded with an announcement of a decision to divest itself of a business segment that actively manages property investments and of a conditional agreement to dispose of its rights to manage certain retail funds. Since the third quarter of 2002, we have evaluated the carrying value of our equity method investment in Aberdeen for other-than-temporary impairment. This evaluation considered quantitative and qualitative factors including quoted market price for the underlying securities, the duration carrying value is in excess of fair value and historical and projected earnings and cash flow capacity. As of June 30, 2003, the Company concluded that its equity investment in Aberdeen, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, was other-than-temporarily impaired after consideration of the following: o Restructuring activities announced to date have not materialized as originally contemplated; o Continuing inquiry by U.K regulatory authorities related to "mis-selling" of certain split capital trusts funds managed by Aberdeen with no resolution anticipated in the near-term; o Dispute with clients related to certain closed-end funds managed by Aberdeen; and o As at June 30, 2003, the Company's carrying value of its equity method investment in Aberdeen continuously exceeded the underlying fair value as represented by its publicly traded share price for a period of 9 to 12 months. Liquidity and Capital Resources In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions involving various types of financial instruments such as debt and equity securities. These instruments have credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate and market fluctuations. Liquidity refers to the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its cash requirements. The following discussion combines liquidity and capital resources as these subjects are interrelated. Consistent with the discussion of our results of operations, we discuss liquidity and capital resources on both consolidated and segment bases. The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (holding company) The holding company's primary uses of liquidity include dividend payments on its common stock, loans or contributions to its subsidiaries, debt servicing and general corporate expenses. The holding company's primary sources of liquidity have been dividends from Phoenix Life and interest income 51 received from PXP. Under New York Insurance Law, Phoenix Life can pay stockholder dividends to the holding company in any calendar year without prior approval from the New York Superintendent of Insurance in the amount of the lesser of 10% of Phoenix Life's surplus to policyholders as of the immediately preceding calendar year or Phoenix Life's statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding calendar year, not including realized capital gains. Phoenix Life paid a dividend of $44.5 million in April 2003 under this provision and any amount in excess of this would, accordingly, be subject to the discretion of the New York Superintendent of Insurance. The holding company does not expect to receive dividends from PXP in the near term because we expect PXP will use a substantial portion of its cash flows from operations to pay contingent consideration for prior acquisitions, to repay debt and meet intercompany interest obligations. The holding company has a 364-day unfunded unsecured senior revolving credit facility expiring on December 22, 2003, or revolving credit facility, under which it has direct borrowing rights, as do Phoenix Life and PXP with the holding company's unconditional guarantee. We expect dividend payments from Phoenix Life, debt servicing from PXP and borrowing capacity under the holding company's revolving credit facility to be sufficient to enable the holding company to make dividend payments on its common stock, pay its operating expenses, service its outstanding debt, make contributions or loans to its subsidiaries and meet its other obligations. 52 Consolidated Financial Condition The following table presents the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002 ($ amounts in millions): 2003 2002 Change -------------- -------------- ------------- ASSETS: Debt securities............................................... $ 13,200.4 $ 11,894.1 $ 1,306.3 Equity securities............................................. 341.5 391.2 (49.7) Mortgage loans................................................ 353.5 468.8 (115.3) Venture capital partnerships.................................. 237.1 228.6 8.5 Affiliate equity securities................................... 42.5 134.7 (92.2) Policy loans.................................................. 2,212.2 2,195.9 16.3 Other investments............................................. 418.2 398.9 19.3 -------------- -------------- ------------- Total investments............................................. 16,805.4 15,712.2 1,093.2 Cash and cash equivalents..................................... 654.3 1,058.5 (404.2) Accrued investment income..................................... 217.5 192.3 25.2 Receivables................................................... 195.3 217.3 (22.0) Deferred policy acquisition costs............................. 1,248.0 1,234.1 13.9 Deferred income taxes......................................... 45.8 41.4 4.4 Intangible assets with definite lives......................... 285.6 291.7 (6.1) Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets......... 464.2 456.0 8.2 Other general account assets.................................. 217.2 239.5 (22.3) Separate account and investment trust assets.................. 6,643.2 5,793.1 850.1 -------------- -------------- ------------- Total assets.................................................. $ 26,776.5 $ 25,236.1 $ 1,540.4 ============== ============== ============= LIABILITIES: Policy liabilities and accruals............................... $ 13,043.6 $ 12,680.0 $ 363.6 Policyholder deposit funds.................................... 3,744.5 3,395.7 348.8 Stock purchase contracts...................................... 123.9 137.6 (13.7) Indebtedness.................................................. 646.4 644.3 2.1 Other general account liabilities............................. 544.1 542.9 1.2 Separate account and investment trust liabilities............. 6,643.2 5,793.1 850.1 -------------- -------------- ------------- Total liabilities............................................. 24,745.7 23,193.6 1,554.7 -------------- -------------- ------------- MINORITY INTEREST: Minority interest in net assets of consolidated subsidiaries.. 4.6 10.8 (6.2) -------------- -------------- ------------- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Common stock and additional paid in capital................... 2,430.6 2,425.4 5.2 Deferred compensation on restricted stock units...............

Equity securities decreased $49.7 million, or 13%, from year-end 2002 primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of HRH common stock, which we hold as collateral for our stock purchase contracts. Affiliate equity securities decreased $92.2 million, or 68%, from year-end 2002 primarily due to an $89.1 million pre-tax, non-cash charge related to the other-than-temporary impairment of our equity investment in Aberdeen. See Note 5 of the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information. 53 Mortgage loans decreased $115.3 million, or 25%, compared to year-end 2002 reflecting continued mortgage loan pay downs, including several significant prepayments in the first six months and the sale of a portfolio of loans in the second quarter of 2003. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $404.2 million, or 38%, from year-end 2002 primarily due to cash outflows for investment purchases partially offset by policyholder deposit fund receipts, and cash from continuing operations. Accrued investment income increased $25.2 million, or 13%, during the quarter as a result of higher invested asset balances. Policy liabilities and accruals increased $363.6 million, or 3%, from year-end 2002 primarily due an increase in the policyholder dividend obligation plus normal business growth. Stock purchase contracts decreased $13.7 million, or 10%, from year-end 2002 primarily due to the increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative. We recorded a favorable change in fair value of the embedded derivative of $12.2 with an offset to other comprehensive income. The increased fair value of the embedded derivative was primarily due to a decrease in the quoted market price of HRH common stock. Life Companies Our Life Companies' liquidity requirements principally relate to: the liabilities associated with various life insurance and annuity products; the payment of dividends by Phoenix Life to The Phoenix Companies, Inc.; operating expenses; contributions to subsidiaries; and payment of principal and interest by Phoenix Life on its outstanding debt obligation. Liabilities arising from life insurance and annuity products include the payment of benefits, as well as cash payments in connection with policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans. The Life Companies also have liabilities arising from the runoff of the remaining group accident and health reinsurance discontinued operations. Historically, our Life Companies have used cash flow from operations and investment activities to fund liquidity requirements. Their principal cash inflows from life insurance and annuities activities come from premiums, annuity deposits and charges on insurance policies and annuity contracts. In the case of Phoenix Life, cash inflows also include dividends, distributions and other payments from subsidiaries. Principal cash inflows from investment activities result from repayments of principal, proceeds from maturities, sales of invested assets and investment income. Additional sources of liquidity to meet cash outflows are available from the Life Companies' portfolios of liquid assets. These liquid assets include substantial holdings of U.S. government and agency bonds, short-term investments and marketable debt and equity securities. The cash Phoenix Life received as consideration for the transfer of shares of common stock of PXP and other subsidiaries following the demutualization was a non-recurring source of liquidity. Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, this cash payment was $659.8 million. Phoenix Life's current sources of liquidity also include a revolving credit facility under which Phoenix Life has direct borrowing rights, subject to our unconditional guarantee. Since the demutualization, Phoenix Life's access to the cash flows generated by the closed block assets has been restricted to funding the closed block. A primary liquidity concern with respect to life insurance and annuity products is the risk of early policyholder and contractholder withdrawal. Our Life Companies closely monitor their liquidity requirements in order to match cash in-flows with expected cash out-flows, and employ an asset/liability management approach tailored to the specific requirements of each product line, based upon the return objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity, tax and regulatory requirements of the underlying products. In particular, the Life Companies maintain investment programs generally intended to provide adequate funds to pay benefits without forced sales of investments. Products having liabilities with relatively long lives, such as life insurance, are matched with assets having similar 54 estimated lives, such as long-term bonds, private placement bonds and mortgage loans. Shorter term liabilities are matched with investments such as short-term and medium-term fixed maturities. The following table summarizes the withdrawal characteristics of the Life Companies' annuity contract reserves and deposit fund liabilities as of June 30, 2003 and year-end 2002 ($ amounts in millions). 2003 2002 ----------------------- ----------------------- Amount(1) Percent Amount(1) Percent ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Not subject to discretionary withdrawal provision........... $ 177.1 3% $ 168.1 3% Subject to discretionary withdrawal without adjustment...... 2,103.4 33% 2,073.3 35% Subject to discretionary withdrawal with market value adjustment................................................ 752.0 12% 649.7 11% Subject to discretionary withdrawal at contract value less surrender charge.......................................... 782.7 12% 701.5 11% Subject to discretionary withdrawal at market value......... 2,548.2 40% 2,386.5 40% ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total Annuity Contract Reserves and Deposit Fund Liability.. $6,363.4 100% $5,979.1 100% =========== =========== =========== =========== (1) Contract reserves and deposit fund liability amounts are reported on a statutory basis, which more accurately reflects the potential cash outflows, and include variable product liabilities. Annuity contract reserves and deposit fund liabilities are monetary amounts that an insurer must have available to provide for future obligations with respect to its annuities and deposit funds. These are liabilities on the balance sheet of financial statements prepared in conformity with statutory accounting practices. These amounts are at least equal to the values available to be withdrawn by policyholders. Individual life insurance policies are less susceptible to withdrawals than annuity contracts because policyholders may incur surrender charges and be required to undergo a new underwriting process in order to obtain a new insurance policy. As indicated in the table above, most of our annuity contract reserves and deposit fund liabilities are subject to withdrawals. Individual life insurance policies, other than term life insurance policies, increase in cash values over their lives. Policyholders have the right to borrow an amount generally up to the cash value of their policies at any time. As of June 30, 2003, our Life Companies had approximately $11.1 billion in cash values with respect to which policyholders had rights to take policy loans. The majority of cash values eligible for policy loans are at variable interest rates that are reset annually on the policy anniversary. The amount of our policy loans has not changed significantly since 1999. Our policy loans at June 30, 2003 were $2.2 billion. The primary liquidity risks regarding cash inflows from the investment activities of our Life Companies are the risks of default by debtors, interest rate and other market volatility and potential illiquidity of investments. We closely monitor and manage these risks. We believe that the current and anticipated sources of liquidity for our Life Companies are adequate to meet their present and anticipated needs. PXP PXP's liquidity requirements are primarily to fund operating expenses and pay outstanding debt and interest obligations. PXP also would require liquidity to fund the costs of any potential acquisitions, as well as any contingent payments for previous acquisitions. Historically, PXP's principal source of liquidity has been cash flows from operations. We expect that cash flow from operations will continue to be PXP's principal source of working capital. PXP's current sources of liquidity also include a revolving credit facility under which PXP has direct borrowing rights, subject to our unconditional guarantee. We believe that PXP's current and anticipated sources of liquidity are adequate to meet its present and anticipated needs. 55 Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments As of June 30, 2003, we had $675.9 million outstanding related to contractual obligations, excluding derivative instruments, and $143.1 million in commercial commitments. The following table presents the years in which our contractual obligations will come due and our commercial commitments will expire ($ amounts in millions). Payments Due by Fiscal Period ----------------------------------------------------------- Total 2003 2004 - 2005 2006 - 2007 Thereafter ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Contractual Obligations Indebtedness(1) ...................... $ 628.7 $ -- $ -- $ 175.0 $ 453.7 Future Minimum Lease Payments......... 47.2 7.7 26.3 5.4 7.8 Other(2) ............................. -- -- -- -- -- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total Contractual Obligations......... $ 675.9 $ 7.7 $ 26.3 $ 180.4 $ 461.5 ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= Commitment Expiration ----------------------------------------------------------- Total 2003 2004 - 2005 2006 - 2007 Thereafter ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Commercial Commitments Standby Letters of Credit(3) .......... $ 10.4 $ 10.4 $ -- $ -- $ -- Other Commercial Commitments(2) (4) .... 132.7 1.5 5.2 19.6 106.4 ------------- ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- Total Commercial Commitments.......... $ 143.1 $ 11.9 $ 5.2 $ 19.6 $ 106.4 ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= (1) Indebtedness amounts include principal only. (2) There are no minimum contractual obligations in this category, however, see discussion below with respect to Commitments Related to Recent Business Combinations. (3) Our standby letters of credit automatically renew on an annual basis. (4) Other commercial commitments relate to venture capital partnerships. These commitments can be drawn down by private equity funds as necessary to fund their portfolio investments through the end of the funding period as stated in each agreement. The amount collectively drawn down by the private equity funds in our portfolio in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $11.9 million. Cash and stock distributions received by us for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were $8.2 million. Commitments Related to Recent Business Combinations Under the terms of purchase agreements related to certain recent business combinations, we are subject to certain contractual obligations and commitments related to additional purchase consideration and put/call arrangements summarized as follows: Kayne Anderson Rudnick We have an earn-out arrangement effective December 31, 2003 for Non-Phoenix members of Kayne Anderson Rudnick (KAR) that is in the form of a put/call. Non-Phoenix shareholders will be entitled to a payment in the first quarter of 2004 equal to the excess (if any) of (a) the lesser of (i) $165 million or (ii) 2003 net investment advisory fees times 4.5 times 60%, over (b) $100 million. The maximum earnout payment is $65 million. In certain instances the earn-out date will be accelerated, in which case the net investment advisory fees used in the calculation will be the trailing twelve months. At June 30, 2003, we estimate this payment to be in the range of $25 million to $35 million. Phoenix has an additional purchase arrangement in which existing members of KAR will sell 15% of membership interest to Phoenix as follows: o Effective December 31, 2004 (but paid in first quarter 2005), 5% of the ownership interest will be purchased for the following amount: 2004 revenue times 4.5 times 5%; o Effective December 31, 2005 (but paid in first quarter 2006), 5% of the ownership interest will be purchased for the following amount: 2005 revenue times 4.5 times 5%; 56 o Effective December 31, 2006 (but paid in 1st quarter 2007), 5% of the ownership interest will be purchased for the following amount: 2006 revenue times 4.5 times 5%. Revenue is defined as investment advisory fees for the applicable twelve month period. Under certain circumstances, the purchases may be accelerated. There is also a put/call arrangement with respect to 25% of the total membership interests. The purchase price will be equal to investment advisory fees for the relevant contract year multiplied by 4.5 multiplied by the amount of membership interest purchased. The contract year is defined as the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 and each calendar year thereafter. The pricing on the put/calls will be determined within 60 days after each such year-end and can be exercised within 60 days of the finalization of the price. All of these membership interests acquired will be reissued to members/employees of KAR. The reissuance process involves PXP contributing the units to KAR and then KAR selling the units to the members/employees. The members/employees will not pay cash for these purchases, but will enter into a note payable agreement with KAR. PXP will have preferential distribution rights with respect to payments of principal and interest on these notes. Under certain circumstances, these shares can be issued without a note payable or other consideration. None of these units subject to these agreements have yet been purchased by PXP. Once these units are purchased and then reissued the amount of cash that PXP will need to pay to repurchase these units in the future will be based on the growth in revenues since the reissuance dates. There is no expiration date for the put/call agreements. There is no cap or floor on the put/call price. PFG Holdings, Inc. On May 1, 2003, we acquired the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc. not already owned by us for initial consideration of $16.7. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we may be obligated to pay additional consideration of up to $89.0 to the selling shareholders, including $13.0 during the years 2004 through 2007, based on certain financial performance targets being met, and the balance in 2008, based on the appraised value of PFG Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2007. We have accounted for our acquisition of the remaining interest in PFG Holdings, Inc. as a step-purchase. Accordingly, we recorded a definite-lived intangible asset of $9.8 related to the present value of future profits (PVFP) acquired and a related deferred tax liability of $3.4 million. The PVFP intangible asset will be amortized over the remaining estimated life of the underlying insurance inforce acquired, estimated to be 40 years. The remaining acquisition price plus transaction costs of $7.6 has been assigned to goodwill. We have not presented pro forma information as if PFG Holdings, Inc. had been acquired at the beginning of January 2003, as it is not material to our financial statements. For additional information, see Note 4 to this Form 10-Q. Seneca We have a put/call arrangement with respect to the 31.6% membership interests in Seneca not owned by PXP. The purchase price is equal to investment advisory fees for the relevant year multiplied by 3.5 multiplied by the amount of membership interest purchased. The pricing on the put/calls will be determined within 60 days after each calendar year-end and can be exercised within 60 days of the finalization of the price. All of these membership interests acquired will be reissued to members/employees of Seneca. The reissuance process involves PXP contributing the units to Seneca and then Seneca selling the units to the members/employees. The members/employees do not pay cash for these purchases, but enter into a note payable agreement with Seneca. PXP has preferential distribution rights with respect to payments of principal and interest on these notes. Since these units have been purchased by PXP already, the amount of cash that PXP will need to pay to repurchase these units in the future will be the amount related to the growth in revenues since the various reissuance dates. There is no cap or floor on the put/call price. The put/call agreements will expire after the year ended December 31, 2007. 57 Reinsurance We maintain life reinsurance programs designed to protect against large or unusual losses in our life insurance business. Over the last several years in response to the reduced cost of reinsurance coverage, we increased the amount of individual mortality risk coverage purchased from third party reinsurers. Based on our review of their financial statements, ratings and reputations in the reinsurance marketplace, we believe that these third party reinsurers are financially sound and, therefore, that we have no material exposure to uncollectable life reinsurance. Statutory Capital and Surplus and Risk-Based Capital Phoenix Life's statutory basis capital and surplus (including asset valuation reserve) decreased from $1,008.8 million at year-end 2002 to $997.3 million at June 30, 2003. Phoenix Life's statutory gain from operations was $22.8 million and $39.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. Section 1322 of New York Insurance Law requires that New York life insurers report their Risk-Based Capital. (RBC). RBC is based on a formula calculated by applying factors to various asset, premium and statutory reserve items. The formula takes into account the risk characteristics of the insurer, including asset risk, insurance risk, interest rate risk and business risk. Section 1322 gives the New York Insurance Department explicit regulatory authority to require various actions by, or take various action against, insurers whose Total Adjusted Capital does not exceed certain RBC levels. Each of our other life insurance subsidiaries are subject to these same RBC requirements. The levels of regulatory action, the trigger point and the corrective actions are summarized below: Company Action Level - results when Total Adjusted Capital falls below 100% of Company Action Level at which point the company must file a comprehensive plan to the state insurance regulators; Regulatory Action Level - results when Total Adjusted Capital falls below 75% of Company Action Level where in addition to the above, insurance regulators are required to perform an examination or analysis deemed necessary and issue a corrective order specifying corrective actions; Authorized Control Level - results when Total Adjusted Capital falls below 50% of Company Action Level where in addition to the above, the insurance regulators are permitted but not required to place the company under regulatory control; and Mandatory Control Level - results when Total Adjusted Capital falls below 35% of Company Action Level where insurance regulators are required to place the company under regulatory control. At June 30, 2003, Phoenix Life's and each of its insurance subsidiaries' RBC levels were in excess of 300% of Company Action Level. Net Capital Requirements Our broker-dealer subsidiaries are each subject to the net capital requirements imposed on registered broker-dealers by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each is also required to maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that does not exceed 15 to 1. The largest of these subsidiaries had net capital of approximately $2.4 million, which is $1.7 million in excess of its required minimum net capital of $0.7 million. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital for that subsidiary was 4.1 to 1. The ratios of aggregate indebtedness to net capital for each of the other broker-dealer subsidiaries were also below the regulatory ratio at June 30, 2003, and their respective net capital each exceeded their applicable required minimum. 58 Consolidated Cash Flows The following table presents summary consolidated cash flow data for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 ($ amounts in millions): Three Months Six Months --------------------------- --------------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------- Cash from continuing operations........................ $ 95.7 $ 82.6 $ 145.5 $ 121.5 Cash for discontinued operations....................... (27.9) (48.9) (45.0) (74.2) Cash for continuing operations investing activities.... (89.7) (437.9) (837.5) (1,016.2) Cash from discontinued operations investing activities. -- 10.1 (6.7) 35.5 Cash from financing activities......................... $ 63.2 $ 492.4 $ 339.5 $ 780.6 For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 cash from continuing operations increased $13.1 million and $24.0 million respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002, due primarily to higher investment income received, lower acquisition costs paid and lower tax payments, partially offset by lower premiums and fees received. Additionally, for the six-month period, operating expenses paid were lower offset by higher benefit payments. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 cash used continuing operations investing activities decreased $348.2 million and $178.7 million respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002, due primarily to lower cash from financing activities due to lower policyholder deposit fund receipts. This was partially offset by increased investment of cash in 2003. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 cash from financing activities decreased $429.2 million and $441.1million respectively, over the comparable periods in 2002, due primarily to lower policyholder deposit fund receipts, partially offset by treasury stock purchases in the 2002 periods that were not repeated in the 2003 periods. Related Party Transactions State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (State Farm) currently owns of record more than 5 percent of our outstanding common stock. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, our subsidiaries paid total compensation of $4.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, to entities which were either subsidiaries of State Farm or owned by State Farm employees for the sale our insurance and annuity products. 59 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market Risk Exposures and Risk Management We must effectively manage, measure and monitor the market risk generally associated with our insurance and annuity business and, in particular, our commitment to fund insurance liabilities. We have developed an integrated process for managing risk, which we conduct through our Corporate Finance Department, Corporate Portfolio Management Department, Actuarial Department, and additional specialists at the business segment level. These groups confer with each other regularly. We have implemented comprehensive policies and procedures at both the corporate and business segment level to minimize the effects of potential market volatility. Market risk is the risk that we will incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. We have exposure to market risk through both our insurance operations and our investment activities. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, although we also have exposures to changes in equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. We also have credit risk in connection with our derivative contracts. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate changes primarily results from our commitment to fund interest-sensitive insurance liabilities, as well as from our significant holdings of fixed rate investments. Our insurance liabilities largely comprise dividend-paying individual whole life and universal life policies and annuity contracts. Our fixed maturity investments include U.S. and foreign government bonds, securities issued by government agencies, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, most of which are mainly exposed to changes in medium-term and long-term U.S. Treasury rates. We manage interest rate risk as part of our asset/liability management process and product design procedures. Asset/liability strategies include the segmentation of investments by product line and the construction of investment portfolios designed to specifically satisfy the projected cash needs of the underlying product liability. We manage the interest rate risk inherent in our assets relative to the interest rate risk inherent in our insurance products. We identify potential interest rate risk in portfolio segments by modeling asset and product liability durations and cash flows under current and projected interest rate scenarios. One of the key measures we use to quantify this interest rate exposure is duration. Duration is one of the most significant measurement tools in measuring the sensitivity of the fair value of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates increase by 100 basis points, or 1%, the fair value of an asset with a duration of five years is expected to decrease by 5%. We believe that as of June 30, 2003, our asset and liability portfolio durations were well matched, especially for the largest segments of our balance sheet (i.e. whole life and universal life). Since our insurance products have variable interest rates (which expose us to the risk of interest rate fluctuations), we regularly undertake a sensitivity analysis that calculates liability durations under various cash flow scenarios. The selection of a 100 basis point immediate, parallel increase or decrease in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to demonstrate potential risk. While a 100 basis point immediate, parallel increase or decrease does not represent our view of future market changes, it is a reasonably possible hypothetical near-term change that illustrates the potential impact of such events. Although these fair value measurements provide a representation of interest rate sensitivity, they are based on our portfolio exposures at a point in time and may not be representative of future market results. These exposures will change as a result of on-going portfolio transactions in response to new business, management's assessment of changing market conditions and available investment opportunities. 60 To calculate duration, we project asset and liability cash flows and discount them to a net present value using a risk-free market rate adjusted for credit quality, sector attributes, liquidity and any other relevant specific risks. Duration is calculated by revaluing these cash flows at an alternative level of interest rates and by determining the percentage change in fair value from the base case. We also employ product design and pricing strategies to manage interest rate risk. Product design and pricing strategies include the use of surrender charges or restrictions on withdrawals in some products. The tables below show the estimated interest rate sensitivity of our fixed income financial instruments measured in terms of fair value as of June 30, 2003 ($ amounts in millions). Given that our asset and liability portfolio durations were well matched for the periods indicated, we would expect market value gains or losses in assets to be largely offset by corresponding changes in liabilities. -100 Basis +100 Basis Carrying Value Point Change Fair Value Point Change --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Cash and cash equivalents................ $ 654.3 $ 654.8 $ 654.3 $ 653.8 Available-for-sale debt securities....... 13,200.4 13,794.7 13,200.4 12,606.7 Mortgage loans........................... 353.5 365.5 358.0 34.5 --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- Totals................................... $ 14,208.2 $ 14,815.0 $ 14,212.7 $ 13,295.0 =============== =============== =============== =============== We use derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, to manage our residual exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We enter into derivative contracts only with highly rated financial institutions to reduce counterparty credit risks and diversify counterparty exposure. We enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates. We do not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. Under interest rate swap agreements, we exchange cash flows with another party at specified intervals for a set length of time based on a specified notional principal amount. Typically, one of the cash flow streams is based on a fixed interest rate set at the inception of the contract and the other is based on a variable rate that periodically resets. Generally, no premium is paid to enter into the contract and neither party makes payment of principal. The amounts to be received or paid on these swap agreements are accrued and recognized in net investment income. The tables below show the interest rate sensitivity of our interest rate derivatives measured in terms of fair value as of June 30, 2003 ($ amounts in millions). These exposures will change as our insurance liabilities are created and discharged and as a result of ongoing portfolio and risk management activities.

Our exposure to changes in equity prices primarily results from our commitment to fund our variable annuity and variable life products, as well as from our holdings of common stocks, mutual funds and other equities. We manage our insurance liability risks on an integrated basis with other risks through our liability and risk management and capital and other asset allocation strategies. We also manage equity price risk through industry and issuer diversification and asset allocation techniques. We held $341.5 million in equity securities on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2003. A 10% decline or increase in the relevant equity price would have decreased or increased, respectively, the value of these assets by approximately $34.2 million as of June 30, 2003. Certain annuity products sold by our Life Companies contain guaranteed minimum death benefits. The guaranteed minimum death benefit feature provides annuity contract holders with a guarantee that the benefit received at death will be no less than a prescribed amount. This minimum amount is based on the net deposits paid into the contract, the net deposits accumulated at a specified rate, the highest historical account value on a contract anniversary, or more typically, the greatest of these values. To the extent that the guaranteed minimum death benefit is higher than the current account value at the time of death, the company incurs a cost. This typically results in an increase in annuity policy benefits in periods of declining financial markets and in periods of stable financial markets following a decline. As of June 30, 2003, and year-end 2002 the difference between the guaranteed minimum death benefit and the current account value (net amount at risk) for all existing contracts was $178.7 million and $234.9 million, respectively. This is our exposure to loss should all of the contractholders die on either of these two dates. 2003 2002 ------------- ------------- Net amount at risk on minimum guaranteed death benefits (before reinsurance).... $ 898.6 $ 1,148.4 Net amount at risk reinsured....................................................

This reserve is determined using the net amount at risk taking into account estimates for mortality, equity market returns, and voluntary terminations under a full range of scenarios. 2003 2002 ------------- ------------- Statutory reserve (after reinsurance)........................................... 12.9 15.8 GAAP reserve (after reinsurance)................................................ 7.9 8.7 The following analysis represents an estimated sensitivity of our deferred acquisition cost asset and guaranteed minimum death benefit liability to equity market changes, based on their June 30, 2003 carrying values ($ amounts in millions): 62 -10% + 10% Equity Carrying Equity Market Value Market ---------- ------------ --------- Deferred policy acquisition costs (variable annuities)................. $ 269.3 $ 274.6 $ 279.2 Deferred policy acquisition costs (variable universal life)............ 313.7 314.5 314.8 Guaranteed minimum death benefit liability (variable annuities)........ 10.9 7.9 5.8 We sponsor defined benefit pension plans for our employees. For GAAP accounting purposes, we assumed an 8.5% long-term rate of return on plan assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and year-ended 2002. To the extent there are deviations in actual returns, there will be changes in our projected expense and funding requests. Foreign Currency Exchange Risks Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates against the U.S. dollar results from our holdings in non-U.S. dollar-denominated debt and equity securities and through our investments in foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. The principal currencies that create foreign currency exchange rate risk for us are the British pound sterling, due to our investments in Aberdeen and Lombard International Assurance, S.A., the Argentine peso, due to our investment in EMCO and the Brazilian real related to a miscellaneous equity investment. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, we recorded a pre-tax foreign currency translation adjustment gains of $8.2 million and $1.1 million and a loss of $1.0 million in other comprehensive income related to changes in valuation of the British pound sterling, Argentine peso and Brazilian real, respectively. The components of foreign currency exchange gains (losses) in accumulated other comprehensive income by currency at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 are as follows ($ amounts in millions): 2003 2002 --------------- --------------- British pound sterling...................................................... $ 15.0 $ 9.9 Argentine peso..............................................................

We have developed controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on our review within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as in effect on the date hereof, are effective, both in design and operation, for achieving the foregoing purpose. Changes in Internal Controls. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. 63 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS General We are regularly involved in litigation, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. The litigation naming us as a defendant ordinarily involves our activities as an insurer, employer, investment adviser, investor or taxpayer. In addition, state regulatory bodies, the SEC, the NASD and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries of us and, from time to time, conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, and laws governing the activities of broker-dealers. These types of lawsuits and regulatory actions may be difficult to assess or quantify, may seek recovery of very large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, and their existence and magnitude may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. A substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcomes of all pending investigations and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, it is the opinion of our management that such outcomes, after consideration of available insurance and reinsurance and the provisions made in our consolidated financial statements, are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cash flows. For information about proceedings involving our discontinued reinsurance business or challenging Phoenix Life Insurance Company's Plan of Reorganization, see Part I, Item 3 of our Form 10-K for the year ended 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2003, which Item is hereby incorporated by reference, and Note 10 herein. There have been no material developments in such proceedings during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. Discontinued Reinsurance Business During 1999, our Life Companies placed their remaining group accident and health reinsurance business into run-off, adopting a formal plan to terminate the related contracts as early as contractually permitted and not entering into any new contracts. As part of the decision to discontinue these reinsurance operations, we reviewed the run-off block and estimated the amount and timing of future net premiums, claims and expenses. We have established reserves and reinsurance recoverables for claims and related expenses that we expect to pay on our discontinued group accident and health reinsurance business. These reserves and reinsurance recoverables are a net present value amount that is based on currently known facts and estimates about, among other things, the amount of insured losses and expenses that we believe we will pay, the period over which they will be paid, the amount of reinsurance we believe we will collect under finite aggregate excess-of-loss (finite reinsurance) reinsurance and other reinsurance to cover our losses and the likely legal and administrative cost of winding down the business. Total reserves were $40.0 million and total reinsurance recoverable balances were $125.0 million at June 30, 2003. In addition, in 1999 we purchased finite reinsurance to further protect us from unfavorable results from this discontinued business. The maximum coverage available from our finite reinsurance is currently $120.0 million. 64 The amount of our total financial provisions at June 30, 2003 was, therefore, $35.0 million, consisting of reserves, less reinsurance recoverables, plus the amount currently available from our finite reinsurance. Our Life Companies are involved in disputes relating to reinsurance arrangements under which they reinsured group accident and health risks. The first of these involves contracts for reinsurance of the life and health carveout components of workers compensation insurance arising out of a reinsurance pool created and formerly managed by Unicover Managers, Inc. In one of those, the arbitration panel issued its decision in October, 2002. The financial implications of this decision are consistent with our Life Companies' current financial provisions. In addition, Phoenix Life is involved in arbitrations and negotiations pending in the United Kingdom between multiple layers of reinsurers and reinsureds relating to transactions in which it participated involving certain personal accident excess-of-loss business reinsured in the London market. In light of our provisions for our discontinued reinsurance operations through our reserves and reinsurance, based on currently available information, we do not expect these operations, including the proceedings described above, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts involved and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate impact on us of all pending matters or of our discontinued reinsurance operations.
