HIGHLIGHTS                                                                      

The variable annuity contract that we are offering is a contract between you,   
the Owner, and us, the insurance company, where you agree to make at least one  
Purchase Payment to us and we agree to make a series of Annuity Payments at a   
later date. The contract has a maximum issue age and you should consult with    
your registered representative. The contract provides a means for investing on  
a tax-deferred basis in our Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolios. The    
contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment       
purposes. When you purchase the contract, you can choose an optional death      
benefit and fixed and variable income options. We are obligated to pay all      
money we owe under the contracts, including death benefits and income payments. 
Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the Separate Account is paid from    
our general account, subject to our financial strength and claims-paying        
ability and our long-term ability to make such payments, and is not guaranteed  
by any other party. (See "Other Information - The Separate Account".)           

The contract allows you to select one of two different charge structures,       
referred to as a class, based on your specific situation. The two classes of    
the contract are the Standard Version and the C Share Option. Each class        
imposes different mortality and expense charges, and the Standard Version of    
the contract imposes a withdrawal charge. Depending on your expectations and    
preferences, you can choose the class that best meets your needs.               

Prior to issuance, you must select either:                                      

o  The Standard Version of the contract, which imposes a withdrawal charge on   
withdrawals equal to a maximum of 7% of each Purchase Payment, reducing   
over five years, and a mortality and expense charge that is lower than the
mortality and expense charge of the C Share Option; or                    

o  The C Share Option, which imposes no withdrawal charge but has a mortality   
and expense charge that is higher than the mortality and expense charge of
the Standard Version.                                                     

If you elect the C Share Option, you may make withdrawals from your contract,   
including a complete withdrawal, at any time without paying a withdrawal        
charge, whereas you would need to wait until the sixth Contract Year (i.e., the 
Contract Year starting on the day after your fifth contract anniversary) under  
the Standard Version to make a complete withdrawal without a withdrawal charge. 
However, the C Share Option has a higher mortality and expense charge for the   
duration of the contract whereas under the Standard Version the withdrawal      
charge is reduced to 0% after five complete years from the receipt of each      
Purchase Payment. Which class of the contract is appropriate for you will       
depend on your particular circumstances, for example the size and timing of     
Purchase Payments and withdrawals you expect to make. In addition, the Fixed    
Account is not available if you select the C Share Option. You should carefully 
consider which of the two classes is appropriate for you.                       

The contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: the          
Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase. During the Accumulation Phase,         
earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you    
make a withdrawal. For the Standard Version, if you make a withdrawal during    
the Accumulation Phase, we may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 7%. (There   
are no withdrawal charges for the C Share Option.) Certain withdrawals,         
depending on the amount and timing, may negatively impact the guarantees        
provided by your contract. You should carefully consider whether a withdrawal   
under a particular circumstance will have any negative impact to your           
guarantees. The impact of withdrawals generally on your guarantees is discussed 
in the corresponding sections of the prospectus describing such guarantees.     

The Income Phase occurs when you or a designated payee begin receiving regular  
Annuity Payments from your contract. You and the Annuitant (the person on whose 
life we base Annuity Payments) do not have to be the same, unless you purchase  
a tax qualified contract.                                                       

You can have Annuity Payments made on a variable basis, a fixed basis, or a     
combination of both. If you choose variable Annuity Payments, the amount of the 
variable Annuity Payments will depend upon the investment performance of the    
Investment Portfolio(s) you select for the Income Phase. If you choose fixed    
Annuity Payments, the amount of each payment will not change during the Income  
Phase.                                                                          

TAX DEFERRAL AND QUALIFIED PLANS. The contracts are offered for individuals and 
some tax qualified and non-tax qualified retirement plans. For any tax          
qualified account (e.g., an IRA), the tax deferred accrual feature is provided  
by the tax qualified retirement plan. Therefore, there

should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the contract within a   
qualified plan. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.")                              

STATE VARIATIONS. Contracts issued in your state may provide different features 
and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this     
prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among    
other things, Free Look rights, age issuance limitations, transfer rights and   
limitations, the right to reject Purchase Payments, the right to assess         
transfer fees, and the requirements for unisex annuity rates. However, please   
note that the maximum fees and charges for all features and benefits are set    
forth in the fee table in this prospectus. This prospectus describes all the    
material features of the contract. If you would like to review a copy of the    
contract and any endorsements, contact our Annuity Service Center.              

FREE LOOK. You may cancel the contract within 10 days after receiving it (or    
whatever period is required in your state). If you mail your cancellation       
request, the request must be postmarked by the appropriate day; if you deliver  
your cancellation request by hand, it must be received by us by the appropriate 
day. Unless otherwise required by state law, you will receive whatever your     
contract is worth on the day that we receive your cancellation request and we   
will not deduct a withdrawal charge. The amount you receive may be more or less 
than your Purchase Payment depending upon the performance of the Investment     
Portfolios (and, for the Standard Version, any interest credited by the Fixed   
Account, if applicable). You bear the risk of any decline in Account Value. We  
do not refund any charges or deductions assessed during the Free Look period.   
We will return your Purchase Payment if required by law.                        

TAX PENALTY. The earnings in your contract are not taxed until you take money   
out of your contract. If you take money out of a Non-Qualified Contract during  
the Accumulation Phase, for tax purposes any earnings are deemed to come out    
first. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may be       
charged a 10% federal tax penalty on those earnings. Payments during the Income 
Phase are considered partly a return of your original investment until your     
investment is returned.                                                         

NON-NATURAL PERSONS AS OWNERS. If the Owner of a non-qualified annuity contract 
is not a natural person (e.g., a corporation, partnership or certain trusts),   
gains under the contract are generally not eligible for tax deferral. The Owner 
of this contract can be a natural person, a trust established for the exclusive 
benefit of a natural person, a charitable remainder trust or other trust        
arrangement (if approved by us). The Owner of this contract can also be a       
Beneficiary of a deceased person's contract that is an Individual Retirement    
Account or non-qualified deferred annuity. A contract generally may have two    
Owners (both of whom must be individuals). The contract is not available to     
corporations or other business organizations, except to the extent an employer  
is the purchaser of a SEP contract. Subject to state approval, certain          
retirement plans qualified under the Internal Revenue Code may purchase the     
contract. If a non-natural person is the Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract, the 
distribution on death rules under the Internal Revenue Code may require payment 
to begin earlier than expected and may impact the usefulness of the optional    
Return of Premium death benefit.                                                

NON-NATURAL PERSONS AS BENEFICIARIES. Naming a non-natural person, such as a    
trust or estate, as a Beneficiary under the contract will generally eliminate   
the Beneficiary's ability to stretch the contract or a spousal Beneficiary's    
ability to continue the contract and the death benefits.

EXAMPLES                                                                        

THESE EXAMPLES ARE INTENDED TO HELP YOU COMPARE THE COST OF INVESTING IN THE    
CONTRACT WITH THE COST OF INVESTING IN OTHER VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS. THESE  
COSTS INCLUDE CONTRACT OWNER TRANSACTION EXPENSES, CONTRACT FEES, SEPARATE      
ACCOUNT ANNUAL EXPENSES, AND INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO FEES AND EXPENSES.            

THE EXAMPLES ASSUME THAT YOU INVEST $10,000 IN THE CONTRACT FOR THE TIME        
PERIODS INDICATED. THE EXAMPLES ALSO ASSUME THAT YOUR INVESTMENT HAS A 5%       
RETURN EACH YEAR AND ASSUME: (A) MAXIMUM AND (B) MINIMUM FEES AND EXPENSES OF   
ANY OF THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS (BEFORE ANY WAIVER AND/OR REIMBURSEMENT).      
ALTHOUGH YOUR ACTUAL COSTS MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER, BASED ON THESE ASSUMPTIONS,  
YOUR COSTS WOULD BE:

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT                                                         

This prospectus describes the Variable Annuity Contract offered by us.          

The variable annuity contract is a contract between you as the Owner, and us,   
the insurance company, where we promise to pay an income to you, in the form of 
Annuity Payments, beginning on a designated date that you select. Until you     
decide to begin receiving Annuity Payments, your annuity is in the ACCUMULATION 
PHASE. Once you begin receiving Annuity Payments, your contract switches to the 
INCOME PHASE.                                                                   

The contract benefits from tax deferral. Tax deferral means that you are not    
taxed on earnings or appreciation on the assets in your contract until you take 
money out of your contract. For any tax qualified account (e.g., an IRA), the   
tax deferred accrual feature is provided by the tax qualified retirement plan.  
Therefore, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring the    
contract within a qualified plan. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.")            

The contract is called a variable annuity because you can choose among the      
Investment Portfolios and, depending upon market conditions, you can make or    
lose money in any of these portfolios. If you select the variable annuity       
portion of the contract, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your 
contract during the Accumulation Phase depends upon the investment performance  
of the Investment Portfolio(s) you select. The amount of the Annuity Payments   
you receive during the Income Phase from the variable annuity portion of the    
contract also depends, in part, upon the investment performance of the          
Investment Portfolio(s) you select for the Income Phase. We do not guarantee    
the investment performance of the variable annuity portion. You bear the full   
investment risk for all amounts allocated to the variable annuity portion.      

In most states, the Standard Version of the contract also contains a FIXED      
ACCOUNT option (contact your registered representative regarding your state;    
the Fixed Account is not available with the C Share Option). The Fixed Account  
is part of our general account and offers an interest rate that is guaranteed   
by us. The minimum interest rate depends on the date your contract is issued    
but will not be less than 1%. Your registered representative can tell you the   
current and minimum interest rates that apply. Because of exemptive and         
exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been           
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and neither the Fixed Account nor  
the general account has been registered as an investment company under the      
Investment Company Act of 1940. Therefore, although the Standard Version of the 
contract makes interests in the Fixed Account generally available for           
allocation of Purchase Payments and Account Value (subject to limitations -     
see, for example, "Purchase Payments - Allocation of Purchase Payments" and     
"Investment Options - Transfers - General"), for securities law purposes the    
descriptions of the Fixed Account in this prospectus do not consitute an offer  
to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, Fixed Account interests. If you  
select the Fixed Account, your money will be placed with our other general      
account assets, and the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your      
contract during the Accumulation Phase depends upon the total interest credited 
to your contract. The Fixed Account is part of our general account. Our general 
account consists of all assets owned by us other than those in the Separate     
Account and our other separate accounts. We have sole discretion over the       
investment of assets in the general account. If you select a fixed Annuity      
Payment option during the Income Phase, payments are made from our general      
account assets. All guarantees as to Purchase Payments or Account Value         
allocated to the Fixed Account, interest credited to the Fixed Account, and     
fixed Annuity Payments are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying  
ability.                                                                        

The amount of the Annuity Payments you receive during the Income Phase from a   
fixed Annuity Payment option of the contract will remain level for the entire   
Income Phase. (Please see "Annuity Payments (The Income Phase)" for more        
information.)                                                                   

As Owner of the contract, you exercise all interests and rights under the       
contract. You can change the Owner at any time, subject to our underwriting     
rules (see "Death Benefit" for information on how a change of ownership may     
affect the death benefit). The contract may be owned generally by Joint Owners  
(limited to two natural persons). We provide more information on this under     
"Other Information - Ownership."                                                

All contract provisions will be interpreted and administered in accordance with 
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Any Code references 
to

"spouses" include those persons who are married spouses under state law,        
regardless of sex.                                                              

2. PURCHASE                                                                     

The contract may not be available for purchase through your broker dealer       
("selling firm") during certain periods. There are a number of reasons why the  
contract periodically may not be available, including that the insurance        
company wants to limit the volume of sales of the contract. You may wish to     
speak to your registered representative about how this may affect your          
purchase. For example, you may be required to submit your purchase application  
in Good Order prior to or on a stipulated date in order to purchase a contract, 
and a delay in such process could result in your not being able to purchase a   
contract. In addition, the optional death benefit rider described in this       
prospectus may not be available through your selling firm, which you may also   
wish to discuss with your registered representative. Your selling firm may      
offer the contract with a lower maximum issue age for the contract than other   
selling firms.                                                                  

We reserve the right to reject any application.                                 

PURCHASE PAYMENTS                                                               

A PURCHASE PAYMENT is the money you give us to invest in the contract. The      
initial Purchase Payment is due on the date the contract is issued. You may     
also be permitted to make subsequent Purchase Payments. Initial and subsequent  
Purchase Payments are subject to certain requirements. These requirements are   
explained below. We may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase       
Payments. The manner in which subsequent Purchase Payments may be restricted is 
discussed below.                                                                

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASE PAYMENTS. The following requirements apply to 
initial and subsequent Purchase Payments:                                       

o  The minimum initial Purchase Payment we will accept is $10,000.              

o  If you want to make an initial Purchase Payment of $1 million or more, or a  
subsequent Purchase Payment that would cause your total Purchase Payments 
to exceed $1 million, you will need our prior approval.                   

o  The minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $500 unless you have elected an   
electronic funds transfer program approved by us, in which case the       
minimum subsequent Purchase Payment is $100 per month.                    

o  We will accept a different amount if required by federal tax law.            

o  We reserve the right to refuse Purchase Payments made via a personal check   
in excess of $100,000. Purchase Payments over $100,000 may be accepted in 
other forms, including, but not limited to, EFT/wire transfers, certified 
checks, corporate checks, and checks written on financial institutions.   
The form in which we receive a Purchase Payment may determine how soon    
subsequent disbursement requests may be fulfilled. (See "Access to Your   
Money.")                                                                  

o  We will not accept Purchase Payments made with cash, money orders, or        
travelers checks.                                                         

RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PURCHASE PAYMENTS. We may restrict your ability to   
make subsequent Purchase Payments. We will notify you in advance if we impose   
restrictions on subsequent Purchase Payments. You and your financial            
representative should carefully consider whether our ability to restrict        
subsequent Purchase Payments is consistent with your investment objectives.     

o  We reserve the right to reject any Purchase Payment and to limit future      
Purchase Payments. This means that we may restrict your ability to make   
subsequent Purchase Payments for any reason, subject to applicable        
requirements in your state. We may make certain exceptions to restrictions
on subsequent Purchase Payments in accordance with our established        
administrative procedures.                                                

TERMINATION FOR LOW ACCOUNT VALUE                                               

We may terminate your contract by paying you the Account Value in one sum if,   
prior to the Annuity Date, you do not make Purchase Payments for two            
consecutive Contract Years, the total amount of Purchase Payments made, less    
any partial withdrawals, is less than $2,000 or any lower amount required by    
federal tax laws, and the Account Value on or after the end of such two year    
period is less than $2,000. (A CONTRACT YEAR is defined as a one-year period    
starting on the date the contract is issued and on each contract anniversary    
thereafter.) Accordingly, no contract will be terminated due solely to negative 
investment performance. Federal tax law may impose additional restrictions on   
our right to cancel your Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP, or other Qualified     
Contract. We will not terminate any contract that includes a guaranteed death   
benefit if at the time the termination would otherwise occur, the guaranteed    
amount under any

death benefit is greater than the Account Value. For all other contracts, we    
reserve the right to exercise this termination provision, subject to obtaining  
any required regulatory approvals.                                              

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS                                                 

When you purchase a contract, we will allocate your Purchase Payment to the     
Fixed Account and/or any of the Investment Portfolios you have selected. You    
may not choose more than 40 Investment Portfolios (including the Fixed Account) 
at the time your initial Purchase Payment is allocated. The Fixed Account is    
not available if you selected the C Share Option. Each allocation must be at    
least $500 and must be in whole numbers.                                        

Your selling firm may make one or more of the Investment Portfolios unavailable 
when you apply for the contract. However, after your contract has been issued,  
all of the Investment Portfolios are available for Purchase Payments or Account 
Value transfers. Please be aware that your registered representative may not be 
able to provide you any information or answer any questions you may have about  
the Investment Portfolio(s) that your selling firm does make unavailable.       
Therefore, for transactions involving such Investment Portfolio(s), you may     
need to contact us directly, as described in the "Other Information - Requests  
and Elections" section. Any such transfer will be counted for purposes of any   
applicable transfer fee. (See "Expenses-Transfer Fee.")                         

We have reserved the right to restrict payments to the Fixed Account if any of  
the following conditions exist:                                                 

o  the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed   
minimum rate indicated in your contract; or                               

o  your Account Value in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds our published      
maximum for Fixed Account allocation (currently, there is no limit; we    
will notify you of any such maximum allocation limit); or                 

o  a transfer was made out of the Fixed Account within the previous 180 days.   

Once we receive your Purchase Payment and the necessary information (or a       
designee receives a payment and the necessary information in accordance with    
the designee's administrative procedures), we will issue your contract and      
allocate your first Purchase Payment within 2 Business Days. A BUSINESS DAY is  
each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. A Business Day  
closes at the close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange, usually   
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you do not give us all of the information we need,   
we will contact you to get it before we make any allocation. If for some reason 
we are unable to complete this process within 5 Business Days, we will either   
send back your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the  
necessary information. (See "Other Information - Requests and Elections.")      

If you make additional Purchase Payments, we will allocate them in the same way 
as your first Purchase Payment unless you tell us otherwise. However, if you    
make an additional Purchase Payment while a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) program 
is in effect, we will not allocate the additional Purchase Payment to the DCA   
program, unless you tell us to do so. Instead, unless you give us other         
instructions, we will allocate the additional Purchase Payment directly to the  
same destination Investment Portfolios you selected under the DCA program. (See 
"Investment Options - Dollar Cost Averaging Program.") You may change your      
allocation instructions at any time by notifying us in writing, by calling us   
or by Internet. You may not choose more than 40 Investment Portfolios           
(including the Fixed Account) at the time you submit a subsequent Purchase      
Payment. The Fixed Account is not available if you select the C Share Option.   
If you wish to allocate the payment to more than 40 Investment Portfolios       
(including the Fixed Account, if available), we must have your request to       
allocate future Purchase Payments to more than 40 Investment Portfolios on      
record before we can apply your subsequent Purchase Payment to your chosen      
allocation. If there are Joint Owners, unless we are instructed to the          
contrary, we will accept allocation instructions from either Joint Owner.       

FREE LOOK                                                                       

If you change your mind about owning this contract, you can cancel it within 10 
days after receiving it (or the period required in your state). We ask that you 
submit your request to cancel in writing, signed by you, to our Annuity Service 
Center. When you cancel the contract within this FREE LOOK period, we will not  
assess a withdrawal charge. Unless otherwise required by state law, you will    
receive back whatever your contract is worth on the day we receive your         
request. This may be more or less than your Purchase Payment depending upon the 
performance of the Investment Portfolios (and, for the Standard Version, any    
interest credited by the Fixed Account, if applicable) according to your        
Purchase Payment allocation during the Free Look period. This means that you    
bear the risk of any decline in the value of your contract due to Investment

Portfolio performance during the Free Look period. We do not refund any charges 
or deductions assessed during the Free Look period. In certain states, we are   
required to give you back your Purchase Payment if you decide to cancel your    
contract during the Free Look period.                                           

ACCUMULATION UNITS                                                              

The portion of your Account Value allocated to the Separate Account will go up  
or down depending upon the investment performance of the Investment             
Portfolio(s) you choose. In order to keep track of this portion of your Account 
Value, we use a unit of measure we call an ACCUMULATION UNIT. (An Accumulation  
Unit works like a share of a mutual fund.) In addition to the investment        
performance of the Investment Portfolio, the deduction of Separate Account      
charges also affects an Investment Portfolio's Accumulation Unit Value, as      
explained below.                                                                

Every Business Day as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally    
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), we determine the value of an Accumulation Unit for     
each of the Investment Portfolios by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value    
for the immediately preceding Business Day by a factor for the current Business 
Day. The factor is determined by:                                               

1)   dividing the net asset value per share of the Investment Portfolio at the  
 end of the current Business Day, plus any dividend or capital gains per
 share declared on behalf of the Investment Portfolio as of that day, by
    the net asset value per share of the Investment Portfolio for the previous
Business Day, and                                                     

2)   multiplying it by one minus the Separate Account product charges           
  (including any rider charge for the Return of Premium death benefit) for
each day since the last Business Day and any charges for taxes.       

The value of an Accumulation Unit may go up or down from day to day.            

When you make a Purchase Payment, we credit your contract with Accumulation     
Units. The number of Accumulation Units credited is determined by dividing the  
amount of the Purchase Payment allocated to an Investment Portfolio by the      
value of the Accumulation Unit for that Investment Portfolio.                   

Purchase Payments and transfer requests are credited to a contract on the basis 
of the Accumulation Unit value next determined after receipt of a Purchase      
Payment or transfer request. Purchase Payments or transfer requests received    
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange will be credited to your        
------                                                                          
contract that day, after the New York Stock Exchange closes. Purchase Payments  
or transfer requests received after the close of the New York Stock Exchange,   
-----               
or on a day when the New York Stock Exchange is not open, will be treated as    
received on the next day the New York Stock Exchange is open (the next Business 
Day).                                                                           

EXAMPLE:                                                                        

On Monday we receive an additional Purchase Payment of $5,000 from you    
before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You have told us you want this to go to the
MetLife Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio. When the New York Stock Exchange   
closes on that Monday, we determine that the value of an Accumulation Unit
for the MetLife Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio is $12.50. We then divide   
$5,000 by $12.50 and credit your contract on Monday night with 400        
Accumulation Units for the MetLife Asset Allocation 60 Portfolio.         

ACCOUNT VALUE                                                                   

ACCOUNT VALUE is equal to the sum of your interests in the Investment           
Portfolios and the Fixed Account. Your interest in each Investment Portfolio is 
determined by multiplying the number of Accumulation Units for that portfolio   
by the value of the Accumulation Unit.                                          

REPLACEMENT OF CONTRACTS                                                        

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS. From time to time we may offer programs under which certain  
fixed or variable annuity contracts previously issued by us or one of our       
affiliates may be exchanged for the contracts offered by this prospectus.       
Currently, with respect to exchanges from certain of our variable annuity       
contracts to this contract, an existing contract is eligible for exchange if a  
withdrawal from, or surrender of, the contract would not trigger a withdrawal   
charge (certain restrictions may apply if the existing contract has living      
benefits). The Account Value of a Standard Version of this contract             
attributable to the exchanged assets will not be subject to any withdrawal      
charge (there are no withdrawal charges for the C Share Option). Any additional 
Purchase Payments contributed to the new contract will be subject to all fees   
and charges, including the withdrawal charge described in this prospectus. You  
should carefully consider whether an exchange is appropriate for you by         
comparing the death benefits, living benefits, and other guarantees provided by 
the contract you currently own to the benefits and guarantees that would be     
provided by the new contract offered by this prospectus. Then, you should       
compare the

fees and charges (for example, the death benefit charges, the living benefit    
charges, and the mortality and expense charge) of your current contract to the  
fees and charges of the new contract, which may be higher than your current     
contract. The programs we offer will be made available on terms and conditions  
determined by us, and any such programs will comply with applicable law. We     
believe the exchanges will be tax free for federal income tax purposes;         
however, you should consult your tax adviser before making any such exchange.   

OTHER EXCHANGES. Generally you can exchange one variable annuity contract for   
another in a tax-free exchange under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
Before making an exchange, you should compare both annuities carefully. If you  
exchange another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, unless the   
exchange occurs under one of our exchange programs as described above, you      
might have to pay a withdrawal charge on your old annuity, and there will be a  
new withdrawal charge period for the Standard Version this contract (there is   
no withdrawal charge period for the C Share Option). Other charges may be       
higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different. Also, because we will not  
issue the contract until we have received the initial premium from your         
existing insurance company, the issuance of the contract may be delayed.        
Generally, it is not advisable to purchase a contract as a replacement for an   
existing variable annuity contract. Before you exchange another annuity for our 
contract, ask your registered representative whether the exchange would be      
advantageous, given the contract features, benefits and charges.                

OWNING MULTIPLE CONTRACTS                                                       

You may be considering purchasing this contract when you already own a variable 
annuity contract. You should carefully consider whether purchasing an           
additional contract in this situation is appropriate for you by comparing the   
features of the contract you currently own, including the death benefits,       
living benefits, and other guarantees provided by the contract, to the features 
of this contract. You should also compare the fees and charges of your current  
contract to the fees and charges of this contract, which may be higher than     
your current contract. You may also wish to discuss purchasing a contract in    
these circumstances with your registered representative.                        

3. INVESTMENT OPTIONS                                                           

The contract offers 80 INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS, which are listed below.           
Additional Investment Portfolios may be available in the future.                

YOU SHOULD READ THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THESE FUNDS CAREFULLY. YOU CAN OBTAIN      
COPIES OF THE FUND PROSPECTUSES BY CALLING OR WRITING TO US AT: METLIFE         
INSURANCE COMPANY USA, ANNUITY SERVICE CENTER, P.O. BOX 10366, DES MOINES, IOWA 
50306-0366, (800) 343-8496. YOU CAN ALSO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS     
(INCLUDING A COPY OF THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION) BY ACCESSING THE  
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION'S WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV. APPENDIX A  
CONTAINS A SUMMARY OF ADVISERS, SUBADVISERS, AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES FOR      
EACH INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO.                                                      

The investment objectives and policies of certain of the Investment Portfolios  
may be similar to the investment objectives and policies of other mutual funds  
that certain of the portfolios' investment advisers manage. Although the        
objectives and policies may be similar, the investment results of the           
Investment Portfolios may be higher or lower than the results of such other     
mutual funds. The investment advisers cannot guarantee, and make no             
representation, that the investment results of similar funds will be comparable 
even though the funds may have the same investment advisers.                    

Shares of the Investment Portfolios may be offered to insurance company         
separate accounts of both variable annuity and variable life insurance          
contracts and to qualified plans. Due to differences in tax treatment and other 
considerations, the interests of various Owners participating in, and the       
interests of qualified plans investing in the Investment Portfolios may         
conflict. The Investment Portfolios will monitor events in order to identify    
the existence of any material irreconcilable conflicts and determine what       
action, if any, should be taken in response to any such conflict.               

CERTAIN PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE WITH REGARD TO THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS. An        
investment adviser (other than our affiliate MetLife Advisers, LLC) or          
subadviser of an Investment Portfolio, or its affiliates, may make              

16

payments to us and/or certain of our affiliates. These payments may be used for 
a variety of purposes, including payment of expenses for certain                
administrative, marketing, and support services with respect to the contracts   
and, in our role as an intermediary, with respect to the Investment Portfolios. 
We and our affiliates may profit from these payments. These payments may be     
derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from Investment    
Portfolio assets. Contract Owners, through their indirect investment in the     
Investment Portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the           
Investment Portfolios' prospectuses for more information). The amount of the    
payments we receive is based on a percentage of assets of the Investment        
Portfolios attributable to the contracts and certain other variable insurance   
products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and some    
advisers or subadvisers (or their affiliates) may pay us more than others.      
These percentages currently range up to 0.50%.                                  

Additionally, an investment adviser (other than our affiliate MetLife Advisers, 
LLC) or subadviser of an Investment Portfolio or its affiliates may provide us  
with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the contracts and  
may pay us and/or certain of our affiliates amounts to participate in sales     
meetings. These amounts may be significant and may provide the adviser or       
subadviser (or its affiliate) with increased access to persons involved in the  
distribution of the contracts.                                                  

We and/or certain of our affiliated insurance companies have joint ownership    
interests in our affiliated investment adviser, MetLife Advisers, LLC, which is 
formed as a "limited liability company." Our ownership interests in MetLife     
Advisers, LLC entitle us to profit distributions if the adviser makes a profit  
with respect to the advisory fees it receives from the Investment Portfolios.   
We will benefit accordingly from assets allocated to the Investment Portfolios  
to the extent they result in profits to the adviser. (See the prospectsues for  
the Investment Portfolios for information on the management fees paid by the    
Investment Portfolios and the Statement of Additional Information for the       
Investment Portfolios for information on the management fees paid by the        
adviser to the subadvisers.)                                                    

Certain Investment Portfolios have adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 
of the Investment Company Act of 1940. An Investment Portfolio's 12b-1 Plan, if 
any, is described in more detail in the Investment Portfolio's prospectus. Any  
payments we receive pursuant to those 12b-1 Plans are paid to us or our         
distributor. (See "Distributor" for more information.) Payments under an        
Investment Portfolio's 12b-1 Plan decrease the Investment Portfolio's           
investment return.                                                              

We select the Investment Portfolios offered through this contract based on a    
number of criteria, including asset class coverage, the strength of the         
adviser's or subadviser's reputation and tenure, brand recognition,             
performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm.      
Another factor we consider during the selection process is whether the          
Investment Portfolio's adviser or subadviser is one of our affiliates or        
whether the Investment Portfolio, its adviser, its subadviser(s), or an         
affiliate will make payments to us or our affiliates. In this regard, the       
profit distributions we receive from our affiliated investment adviser are a    
component of the total revenue that we consider in configuring the features and 
investment choices available in the variable insurance products that we and our 
affiliated insurance companies issue. Since we and our affiliated insurance     
companies may benefit more from the allocation of assets to portfolios advised  
by our affiliates than to those that are not, we may be more inclined to offer  
portfolios advised by our affiliates in the variable insurance products we      
issue. We review the Investment Portfolios periodically and may remove an       
Investment Portfolio or limit its availability to new Purchase Payments and/or  
transfers of Account Value if we determine that the Investment Portfolio no     
longer meets one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the Investment    
Portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from contract Owners. In    
some cases, we have included Investment Portfolios based on recommendations     
made by selling firms. These selling firms may receive payments from the        
Investment Portfolios they recommend and may benefit accordingly from the       
allocation of Account Value to such Investment Portfolios.                      

WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY INVESTMENT ADVICE AND DO NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY     
PARTICULAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF ANY DECLINE IN THE        
ACCOUNT VALUE OF YOUR CONTRACT RESULTING FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INVESTMENT 
PORTFOLIOS YOU HAVE CHOSEN.                                                     

We make certain payments to American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal        
underwriter for the American

"Fund of funds" Investment Portfolios invest substantially all of their assets  
in other portfolios or, with respect to the SSgA Growth and Income ETF          
Portfolio and the SSgA Growth ETF Portfolio, other exchange-traded funds        
("Underlying ETFs"). Therefore, each of these Investment Portfolios will bear   
its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying          
portfolios or Underlying ETFs in which it invests in addition to its own        
management fees and expenses. This will reduce the investment return of each of 
the fund of funds Investment Portfolios. The expense levels will vary over      
time, depending on the mix of underlying portfolios or Underlying ETFs in which 
the fund of funds Investment Portfolio invests. Contract Owners may be able to  
realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying        
portfolios and Underlying ETFs instead of investing in the fund of funds        
Investment Portfolios, if such underlying portfolios or Underlying ETFs are     
available under the contract. However, no Underlying ETFs and only some of the  
underlying portfolios are available under the contract.                         

TRANSFERS                                                                       

GENERAL. You can transfer a portion of your Account Value among the Fixed       
Account (not available if you selected the C Share Option) and the Investment   
Portfolios. The contract provides that you can make a maximum of 12 transfers   
every year and that each transfer is made without charge. We measure a year     
from the anniversary of the day we issued your contract. We currently allow     
unlimited transfers but reserve the right to limit this in the future. We may   
also limit transfers in circumstances of frequent or large transfers, or other  
transfers we determine are or would be to the disadvantage of other contract    
Owners. (See "Restrictions on Frequent Transfers" and "Restrictions on Large    
Transfers" below.) We also may be required to suspend the right to transfers in 
certain circumstances (see "Access to Your Money - Suspension of Payments or    
Transfers"). We are not currently charging a transfer fee, but we reserve the   
right to charge such a fee in the future. If such a charge were to be imposed,  
it would be $25 for each transfer over 12 in a year. The transfer fee will be   
deducted from the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account from which the transfer 
is made. However, if the entire interest in an account is being transferred,    
the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is transferred.         

You can make a transfer to or from any Investment Portfolio or the Fixed        
Account (not available if you selected the C Share Option), subject to the      
limitations below. All transfers made on the same Business Day will be treated  
as one transfer. Transfers received before the close of trading on the New York 
Stock Exchange will take effect as of the end of the Business Day. The          
following apply to any transfer:                                                

o  Your request for transfer must clearly state which Investment Portfolio(s)   
or the Fixed Account (not available if you selected the C Share Option)   
are involved in the transfer.                                             

o  Your request for transfer must clearly state how much the transfer is for.   

o  The minimum amount you can transfer is $500 from an Investment Portfolio, or 
your entire interest in the Investment Portfolio, if less (this does not  
apply to pre-scheduled transfer programs).                                

o  The minimum amount that may be transferred from the Fixed Account is $500,   
or your entire interest in the Fixed Account. Transfers out of the Fixed  
Account during the Accumulation Phase are limited to the greater of: (a)  
25% of the Fixed Account value at the beginning of the Contract Year, or  
(b) the amount transferred out of the Fixed Account in the prior Contract 
Year. Currently we are not imposing these restrictions on transfers out of
the Fixed Account, but we have the right to reimpose them at any time. You
should be aware that, if transfer restrictions are imposed, it may take a 
while (even if you make no additional Purchase Payments or transfers into 
the Fixed Account) to make a complete transfer of your Account Value from 
the Fixed Account. When deciding whether to invest in the Fixed Account   
(not available if you select the C Share Option) it is important to       
consider whether the transfer restrictions fit your risk tolerance and    
time horizon.                                                             

o  You may not make a transfer to more than 40 investment portfolios (including 
the Fixed Account-not available if you selected the C Share Option) at any
time if the request is made by telephone to our voice response system or  
by Internet. A request to transfer to more than 40 investment portfolios  
(including the Fixed Account, if available) may be made by calling or     
writing our Annuity Service Center.                                       

During the Accumulation Phase, to the extent permitted by applicable law,       
during times of drastic economic or market conditions, we may suspend the       
transfer privilege

temporarily without notice and treat transfer requests based on their separate  
components (a redemption order with simultaneous request for purchase of        
another Investment Portfolio). In such a case, the redemption order would be    
processed at the source Investment Portfolio's next determined Accumulation     
Unit value. However, the purchase of the new Investment Portfolio would be      
effective at the next determined Accumulation Unit value for the new Investment 
Portfolio only after we receive the proceeds from the source Investment         
Portfolio, or we otherwise receive cash on behalf of the source Investment      
Portfolio.                                                                      

For transfers during the Accumulation Phase, we have reserved the right to      
restrict transfers to the Fixed Account if any one of the following conditions  
exist:                                                                          

o  the credited interest rate on the Fixed Account is equal to the guaranteed   
minimum rate indicated in your contract; or                               

o  your Account Value in the Fixed Account equals or exceeds our published      
maximum for Fixed Account allocation (currently, there is no limit; we    
will notify you of any such maximum allocation limit); or                 

o  a transfer was made out of the Fixed Account within the previous 180 days.   

During the Income Phase, you cannot make transfers from a fixed Annuity Payment 
option to the Investment Portfolios. You can, however, make transfers during    
the Income Phase from the Investment Portfolios to a fixed Annuity Payment      
option and among the Investment Portfolios.                                     

TRANSFERS BY TELEPHONE OR OTHER MEANS. You may elect to make transfers by       
telephone, Internet or other means acceptable to us. To elect this option, you  
must first provide us with a notice or agreement in Good Order. If you own the  
contract with a Joint Owner, unless we are instructed otherwise, we will accept 
instructions from either you or the other Owner. (See "Other Information -      

Requests and Elections.")                                                       

All transfers made on the same day will be treated as one transfer. A transfer  
will be made as of the end of the Business Day when we receive a notice         
containing all the required information necessary to process the request. We    
will consider telephone and Internet requests received after the close of the   
New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), or on a day when    
the New York Stock Exchange is not open, to be received on the next day the New 
York Stock Exchange is open (the next Business Day).                            

PRE-SCHEDULED TRANSFER PROGRAM. There are certain programs that involve         
transfers that are pre-scheduled. When a transfer is made as a result of such a 
program, we do not count the transfer in determining the applicability of any   
transfer fee and certain minimums do not apply. The current pre-scheduled       
transfers are made in conjunction with the following: Dollar Cost Averaging and 
Automatic Rebalancing Programs.                                                 

RESTRICTIONS ON FREQUENT TRANSFERS. Frequent requests from contract Owners to   
transfer Account Value may dilute the value of an Investment Portfolio's shares 
if the frequent trading involves an attempt to take advantage of pricing        
inefficiencies created by a lag between a change in the value of the securities 
held by the portfolio and the reflection of that change in the portfolio's      
share price ("arbitrage trading"). Frequent transfers involving arbitrage       
trading may adversely affect the long-term performance of the Investment        
Portfolios, which may in turn adversely affect contract Owners and other        
persons who may have an interest in the contracts (E.G., Annuitants and         
Beneficiaries).                                                                 

We have policies and procedures that attempt to detect and deter frequent       
transfers in situations where we determine there is a potential for arbitrage   
trading. Currently, we believe that such situations may be presented in the     
international, small-cap, and high-yield Investment Portfolios (i.e., the       
American Funds Global Small Capitalization Fund, Baillie Gifford International  
Stock Portfolio, BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund, BlackRock High Yield    
Portfolio, Clarion Global Real Estate Portfolio, Global Infrastructure          
Portfolio, Harris Oakmark International Portfolio, Invesco Small Cap Growth     
Portfolio, Ivy Funds VIP Asset Strategy Fund, JPMorgan Small Cap Value

Portfolio, Lord Abbett Bond Debenture Portfolio, Met/Artisan International

Portfolio, Russell 2000 (Reg. TM) Index Portfolio, T. Rowe Price Small Cap      
Growth Portfolio, Third Avenue Small Cap Value Portfolio, Van Eck Global        
Natural Resources Portfolio, and Western Asset Management Strategic Bond        
Opportunities Portfolio), and we monitor transfer activity in those portfolios  
(the "Monitored Portfolios"). In addition, as described below, we treat all     
American Funds Insurance Series (Reg. TM) portfolios ("American Funds           
portfolios") as Monitored Portfolios. We employ various means to monitor        
transfer activity, such as examining the frequency and size of transfers into   
and out of the Monitored Portfolios within given periods of time. For example,  
we currently monitor transfer activity to determine if, for each category of    
international, small-cap, and high-yield portfolios, in a 12-month period there 
were: (1) six or more transfers involving the given category; (2) cumulative    
gross transfers involving the given category that exceed the current Account    
Value; and (3) two or more "round-trips" involving the given category. A        
round-trip generally is defined as a transfer in followed by a transfer out     
within the next seven calendar days or a transfer out followed by a transfer in 
within the next seven calendar days, in either case subject to certain other    
criteria. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT OTHER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS PRESENT A          
SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN ARBITRAGE TRADING AND THEREFORE DO NOT     
MONITOR TRANSFER ACTIVITY IN THOSE PORTFOLIOS. We may change the Monitored      
Portfolios at any time without notice in our sole discretion.                   

As a condition to making their portfolios available in our products, American   
Funds requires us to treat all American Funds portfolios as Monitored           
Portfolios under our current frequent transfer policies and procedures.         
Further, American Funds requires us to impose additional specified monitoring   
criteria for all American Funds portfolios available under the contract,        
regardless of the potential for arbitrage trading. We are required to monitor   
transfer activity in American Funds portfolios to determine if there were two   
or more transfers in followed by transfers out, in each case of a certain       
dollar amount or greater, in any 30-day period. A first violation of the        
American Funds monitoring policy will result in a written notice of violation;  
each additional violation will result in the imposition of a six-month          
restriction, during which period we will require all transfer requests to or    
from an American Funds portfolio to be submitted with an original signature.    
Further, as Monitored Portfolios, all American Funds portfolios also will be    
subject to our current frequent transfer policies, procedures and restrictions  
(described below), and transfer restrictions may be imposed upon a violation of 
either monitoring policy.                                                       

Our policies and procedures may result in transfer restrictions being applied   
to deter frequent transfers. Currently, when we detect transfer activity in the 
Monitored Portfolios that exceeds our current transfer limits, we require       
future transfer requests to or from any Monitored Portfolios under that         
contract to be submitted with an original signature. A first occurrence will    
result in the imposition of this restriction for a six month period; a second   
occurrence will result in the permanent imposition of the restriction.          
Transfers made under a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, a rebalancing program or, 
if applicable, any asset allocation program described in this prospectus are    
not treated as transfers when we monitor the frequency of transfers.            

The detection and deterrence of harmful transfer activity involves judgments    
that are inherently subjective, such as the decision to monitor only those      
Investment Portfolios that we believe are susceptible to arbitrage trading or   
the determination of the transfer limits. Our ability to detect and/or restrict 
such transfer activity may be limited by operational and technological systems, 
as well as our ability to predict strategies employed by Owners to avoid such   
detection. Our ability to restrict such transfer activity also may be limited   
by provisions of the contract. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will  
prevent all transfer activity that may adversely affect Owners and other        
persons with interests in the contracts. We do not accommodate frequent         
transfers in any Investment Portfolio and there are no arrangements in place to 
permit any contract Owner to engage in frequent transfers; we apply our         
policies and procedures without exception, waiver, or special arrangement.      

The Investment Portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures    
with respect to frequent transfers in their respective shares, and we reserve   
the right to enforce these policies and procedures. For example, Investment     
Portfolios may assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect)  
on shares held for a relatively short period. The prospectuses for the          
Investment Portfolios describe any such policies and procedures, which may be   
more or less restrictive than the policies and procedures we have adopted.      
Although we may not have the contractual authority or the operational capacity  
to apply the frequent transfer policies and procedures of the Investment        
Portfolios, we have entered into a written agreement, as required by SEC        
regulation, with each Investment Portfolio

or its principal underwriter that obligates us to provide to the Investment     
Portfolio promptly upon request certain information about the trading activity  
of individual contract Owners, and to execute instructions from the Investment  
Portfolio to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific    
contract Owners who violate the frequent transfer policies established by the   
Investment Portfolio.                                                           

In addition, contract Owners and other persons with interests in the contracts  
should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the         
Investment Portfolios generally are "omnibus" orders from intermediaries, such  
as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts.  
The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from  
individual Owners of variable insurance contracts and/or individual retirement  
plan participants. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the Investment  
Portfolios in their ability to apply their frequent transfer policies and       
procedures. In addition, the other insurance companies and/or retirement plans  
may have different policies and procedures or may not have any such policies    
and procedures because of contractual limitations. For these reasons, we cannot 
guarantee that the Investment Portfolios (and thus contract Owners) will not be 
harmed by transfer activity relating to other insurance companies and/or        
retirement plans that may invest in the Investment Portfolios. If an Investment 
Portfolio believes that an omnibus order reflects one or more transfer requests 
from contract Owners engaged in frequent trading, the Investment Portfolio may  
reject the entire omnibus order.                                                

In accordance with applicable law, we reserve the right to modify or terminate  
the transfer privilege at any time. We also reserve the right to defer or       
restrict the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or   
redeem shares of any of the Investment Portfolios, including any refusal or     
restriction on purchases or redemptions of their shares as a result of their    
own policies and procedures on frequent transfers (even if an entire omnibus    
order is rejected due to the frequent transfers of a single contract Owner).    
You should read the Investment Portfolio prospectuses for more details.         

RESTRICTIONS ON LARGE TRANSFERS. Large transfers may increase brokerage and     
administrative costs of the Investment Portfolios and may disrupt portfolio     
management strategy, requiring an Investment Portfolio to maintain a high cash  
position and possibly resulting in lost investment opportunities and forced     
liquidations. We do not monitor for large transfers to or from Investment       
Portfolios except where the portfolio manager of a particular Investment        
Portfolio has brought large transfer activity to our attention for              
investigation on a case-by-case basis. For example, some portfolio managers     
have asked us to monitor for "block transfers" where transfer requests have     
been submitted on behalf of multiple contract Owners by a third party such as   
an investment adviser. When we detect such large trades, we may impose          
restrictions similar to those described above where future transfer requests    
from that third party must be submitted in writing with an original signature.  
A first occurrence will result in the imposition of this restriction for a      
six-month period; a second occurrence will result in the permanent imposition   
of the restriction.                                                             

ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM - BLUEPRINT MODELS                                     

The Blueprint Models are not offered by this prospectus and are not a part of   
your contract. The Blueprint Models are separate asset allocation guidance we   
make available in connection with the contract, at no additional charge to you, 
to help you allocate your Purchase Payments and Account Value among the         
available Investment Options, as described below.This service may be terminated 
at any time.                                                                    

At the time the contract is issued, and at any time you change or update your   
investment allocations, your default investment allocation for Purchase         
Payments and automatic rebalancing will be set in accordance with the           
investment allocation you select. You are not required to use a Blueprint Model 
to select your investment allocation. You may choose to use the suggested       
allocations in one or more Blueprint Models or any combination of Blueprint     
Models and individual Investment Options. Please note a Blueprint Model is not  
an investment portfolio: by selecting a Blueprint Model, you are investing      
directly in the individual underlying portfolios for that Blueprint Model. At   
any time after the contract is issued, you may transfer Account Value or change 
the investment allocation for future Purchase Payments and automatic            
rebalancing. There are no investment allocation restrictions associated with    
using the Blueprint Models.                                                     

Asset allocation, in general, is an investment strategy intended to optimize    
the selection of investment portfolios for a given level of risk tolerance, in  
order to attempt to maximize returns and limit the effects of market            
volatility. Asset allocation strategies reflect the theory that

diversification among asset classes can help reduce volatility and potentially  
enhance returns over the long term. An asset class refers to a category of      
investments having similar characteristics, such as stocks and other equities,  
bonds and other fixed income investments, alternative investments, and cash     
equivalents. There are further divisions within asset classes, for example,     
divisions according to the size of the issuer (large cap, mid cap, small cap),  
the type of issuer (government, municipal, corporate, etc.) or the location of  
the issuer (domestic, foreign, etc.).                                           

If you elect to use the Blueprint Models, our affiliate MetLife Advisers, LLC   
(MetLife Advisers), an investment adviser registered under the Investment       
Advisers Act of 1940, will serve as your investment adviser, but solely for the 
purpose of developing and updating the Blueprint Models. MetLife Advisers       
currently follows the recommendations of an independent third-party consultant  
in providing this service. From time to time, MetLife Advisers may select a     
different consultant, to the extent permitted under applicable law. MetLife     
Advisers also serves as the investment adviser to certain Investment Options    
available under the contract and receives compensation for those services. (See 
"Investment Options-Certain Payments We Receive with Regard to the Investment   
Options," "Investment Options-Met Investors Series Trust," and "Investment      
Options-Metropolitan Series Fund.") However, MetLife Advisers receives no       
compensation for services it performs in developing and updating the Blueprint  
Models.                                                                         

It is your responsibility to select or change your investment allocations among 
the Investment Options. Your registered representative can provide you with     
information that may assist you in selecting and allocating among the           
Investment Options. Once you select the Investment Option allocations, these    
selections will remain unchanged until you elect to revise them. Although the   
Blueprint Models are generally designed to maximize investment returns and      
reduce volatility for a given level of risk, there is no guarantee that a       
Blueprint Model will not lose money or experience volatility. A Blueprint Model 
may fail to perform as intended, or may perform worse than any single           
Investment Option or asset class, or a different combination of Investment      
Options. In addition, any Blueprint Model is subject to all of the risks        
associated with its underlying Investment Options. If, from time to time,       
MetLife Advisers changes the Blueprint Models, any flows of money into and out  
of underlying Investment Options resulting from such changes may generate       
higher brokerage and administrative costs for those portfolios, or such changes 
may disrupt an Investment Option's management strategy.                         

If you elect to use the Blueprint Models, you can choose to allocate your       
Purchase Payments among one or more specified allocations of Investment Options 
MetLife Advisers provides. Each Blueprint Model is a set of target allocation   
percentages for certain Investment Options. There currently are 14 Blueprint    
Models, designed to achieve different levels of risk tolerance and return       
potential (generally, asset classes and sub-classes with higher potential       
returns have greater risk of losses and experience greater volatility). You may 
elect to change your allocations as your tolerance for risk and/or your needs   
and objectives change. In consultation with your registered representative, you 
may determine a different allocation better meets your risk tolerance and time  
horizons. There is no fee to change your Investment Option allocations, and     
currently we allow unlimited transfers without charge during the Accumulation   
Phase (see "Expenses - Transfer Fee").                                          

MetLife Advisers, through its consultant as described above, periodically       
reviews the Blueprint Models (typically annually) and may find that asset       
allocations within a particular Blueprint Model may need to be changed.         
Similarly, the principal investments, investment style, or investment manager   
of an Investment Option may change such that it is no longer appropriate for a  
Blueprint Model, or it may become appropriate for a Blueprint Model. Also, from 
time to time, we may change the Investment Options available under the          
contract. (See "Investment Options.") As a result of the periodic review and/or 
any changes in available Investment Options, each Blueprint Model may change    
and asset classes or sub-classes may be added or deleted. We will provide       
notice regarding any such changes, and you, in consultation with your           
registered representative, may wish to revise your investment allocations based 
on these Blueprint Model and Investment Option changes. You are not required to 
make any changes, and if you take no action your current allocations will       
continue in effect.                                                             

Our affiliates, including MetLife Advisers, receive greater compensation and/or 
profits from certain Investment Options than we receive from other portfolios.  
Therefore, it is conceivable that MetLife Advisers may have an incentive to     
develop Blueprint Models in such a way that larger allocations will be made to  
more profitable

portfolios. Also, MetLife Advisers, in its capacity as investment adviser to    
certain of the Investment Options, may believe that certain portfolios it       
manages may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions.   
As a fiduciary, MetLife Advisers legally is obligated to disregard these        
incentives. In addition, MetLife Advisers believes that following the           
recommendations of an independent third-party to develop and update the         
Blueprint Models may reduce or eliminate the potential for MetLife Advisers to  
be influenced by these competing interests.                                     

As described above, from time to time, MetLife Advisers may select a different  
consultant to provide these recommendations, to the extent permitted under      
applicable law. For more information about MetLife Advisers and its role in     
making the Blueprint Models available, please see the disclosure document,      
which is available to you at no charge, containing information from Part II of  
its Form ADV, the SEC investment adviser registration form. Your registered     
representative can provide you this disclosure document, or you can request a   
copy by writing to MetLife Advisers, LLC, c/o MetLife Investors USA Insurance   
Company, P.O. Box 10366, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-0366. We may perform certain    
administrative functions on behalf of our affiliate, MetLife Advisers; however, 
we are not registered as an investment adviser and are not providing any        
investment advice in making the Blueprint Models available.                     

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM (DCA)                                             

We offer a dollar cost averaging (DCA) program which is described below. By     
allocating amounts on a regular schedule as opposed to allocating the total     
amount at one particular time, you may be less susceptible to the impact of     
market fluctuations. The dollar cost averaging program is available only during 
the Accumulation Phase.                                                         

We reserve the right to modify, terminate or suspend the dollar cost averaging  
program. There is no additional charge for participating in the dollar cost     
averaging program. If you participate in the dollar cost averaging program, the 
transfers made under the program are not taken into account in determining any  
transfer fee. We may, from time to time, offer other dollar cost averaging      
programs which have terms different from those described in this prospectus. We 
will terminate your participation in a dollar cost averaging program when we    
receive notification of your death.                                             

This program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount each month from 
the Fixed Account (not available if you selected the C Share Option) or from a  
money market Investment Portfolio to any of the other available Investment      
Portfolio(s) you select. We provide certain exceptions from our normal Fixed    
Account restrictions to accommodate the dollar cost averaging program. These    
transfers are made on a date you select or, if you do not select a date, on the 
date that a Purchase Payment or Account Value is allocated to the dollar cost   
averaging program. However, transfers will be made on the 1st day of the        
following month for Purchase Payments or Account Value allocated to the dollar  
cost averaging program on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of a month.               

If you make an additional Purchase Payment while a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)  
program is in effect, we will not allocate the additional payment to the DCA    
program unless you tell us to do so. Instead, unless you previously provided    
different allocation instructions for future Purchase Payments or provide new   
allocation instructions with the payment, we will allocate the additional       
Purchase Payment directly to the same destination Investment Portfolios you     
selected under the DCA program. Any Purchase Payments received after the DCA    
program has ended will be allocated as described in "Purchase - Allocation of   
Purchase Payments." If you make such an addition to your existing DCA program,  
the DCA transfer amount will not be increased; however, the number of months    
over which transfers are made is increased, unless otherwise elected in         
writing. You can terminate the program at any time, at which point transfers    
under the program will stop.                                                    

AUTOMATIC REBALANCING PROGRAM                                                   

Once your money has been allocated to the Investment Portfolios, the            
performance of each portfolio may cause your allocation to shift. You can       
direct us to automatically rebalance your contract to return to your original   
percentage allocations by selecting our Automatic Rebalancing Program. You can  
tell us whether to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.     

An automatic rebalancing program is intended to transfer Account Value from     
those portfolios that have increased in value to those that have declined or    
not increased as much in value. Over time, this method of investing may help    
you "buy low and sell high," although there can be no assurance that this       
objective will be achieved. Automatic

rebalancing does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that you will not    
have losses.                                                                    

We will measure the rebalancing periods from the anniversary of the date we     
issued your contract. If the dollar cost averaging program is in effect,        
rebalancing allocations will be based on your current DCA allocations. If you   
are not participating in the dollar cost averaging program, we will make        
allocations based upon your current Purchase Payment allocations, unless you    
tell us otherwise.                                                              

The Automatic Rebalancing Program is available only during the Accumulation     
Phase. There is no additional charge for participating in the Automatic         
Rebalancing Program. If you participate in the Automatic Rebalancing Program,   
the transfers made under the program are not taken into account in determining  
any transfer fee. We will terminate your participation in the Automatic         
Rebalancing Program when we receive notification of your death.                 

EXAMPLE:                                                                        

Assume that you want your initial Purchase Payment split between 2        
Investment Portfolios. You want 50% to be in the American Funds (Reg. TM) 
 Moderate Allocation Portfolio and 50% to be in the American Funds (Reg. TM)
Balanced Allocation Portfolio. Over the next 2 1/2 months the American    
Funds (Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio outperforms the American    
Funds (Reg. TM) Moderate Allocation Portfolio. At the end of the first    
quarter, the American Funds (Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio now   
represents 60% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you  
 have chosen to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of
the next quarter, we will sell some of your units in the American Funds   
(Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio to bring its value back to 50% and
use the money to buy more units in the American Funds (Reg. TM) Moderate  
Allocation Portfolio to increase those holdings to 50%.                   

VOTING RIGHTS                                                                   

We are the legal owner of the Investment Portfolio shares. However, we believe  
that when an Investment Portfolio solicits proxies in conjunction with a vote   
of shareholders, we are required to obtain from you and other affected Owners   
instructions as to how to vote those shares. When we receive those              
instructions, we will vote all of the shares we own in proportion to those      
instructions. This will also include any shares that we own on our own behalf.  
The effect of this proportional voting is that a small number of contract       
Owners may control the outcome of a vote. Should we determine that we are no    
longer required to comply with the above, we will vote the shares in our own    
right.                                                                          

SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS                                              

If investment in the Investment Portfolios or a particular Investment Portfolio 
is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for purposes of    
the contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may substitute 
another Investment Portfolio or Investment Portfolios without your consent. The 
substituted Investment Portfolio may have different fees and expenses.          
Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment 
of future Purchase Payments, or both. However, we will not make such            
substitution without any necessary approval of the Securities and Exchange      
Commission and applicable state insurance departments. Furthermore, we may      
close Investment Portfolios to allocation of Purchase Payments or Account       
Value, or both, at any time in our sole discretion.                             

4. EXPENSES                                                                     

There are charges and other expenses associated with the contract that reduce   
the return on your investment in the contract. These charges and expenses are:  

PRODUCT CHARGES                                                                 

SEPARATE ACCOUNT PRODUCT CHARGES. Each day, we make a deduction for our         
Separate Account product charges (which consist of the mortality and expense    
charge, the administration charge and the charges related to the optional       
Return of Premium death benefit rider). We do this as part of our calculation   
of the value of the Accumulation Units and the Annuity Units (I.E., during the  
Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase - although death benefit charges no     
longer continue in the Income Phase).                                           

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE CHARGE. For the Standard Version of the contract, we      
assess a daily mortality and expense charge that is equal, on an annual basis,  
to 0.85% of the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio. For 
the C Share Option, we assess a daily mortality and expense charge that is      
equal, on an annual basis, to 1.10% of the average daily net asset value of     
each Investment Portfolio.                                                      

This charge compensates us for mortality risks we assume, including making      
Annuity Payments that will not change based on our actual mortality experience  
and, for the

Standard Version of the contract, waiving withdrawal charges in the event of    
the Owner's death during the Accumulation Phase. The charge also compensates us 
for expense risks we assume to cover contract maintenance expenses. These       
expenses may include issuing contracts, maintaining records, making and         
maintaining subaccounts available under the contract and performing accounting, 
regulatory compliance, and reporting functions. This charge also compensates us 
for costs associated with the establishment and administration of the contract, 
including programs like transfers and dollar cost averaging. If the mortality   
and expense charge is inadequate to cover the actual expenses of mortality,     
maintenance, and administration, we will bear the loss. If the charge exceeds   
the actual expenses, we will add the excess to our profit and it may be used to 
finance distribution expenses or for any other purpose.                         

ADMINISTRATION CHARGE. This charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of    
the average daily net asset value of each Investment Portfolio. This charge,    
together with the account fee (see below), is for the expenses associated with  
the administration of the contract. Some of these expenses are: issuing         
contracts, maintaining records, providing accounting, valuation, regulatory and 
reporting services, as well as expenses associated with marketing, sale and     
distribution of the contracts.                                                  

DEATH BENEFIT RIDER CHARGE. If you select the Return of Premium death benefit,  
we will deduct a charge that compensates us for the costs and risks we assume   
in providing the benefit. This charge (assessed during the Accumulation Phase)  
is equal, on an annual basis, to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of  
each Investment Portfolio.                                                      

ACCOUNT FEE                                                                     

During the Accumulation Phase, every Contract Year on your contract anniversary 
(the anniversary of the date when your contract was issued), we will deduct $30 
from your contract as an account fee for the prior Contract Year if your        
Account Value is less than $50,000. If you make a complete withdrawal from your 
contract, the full account fee will be deducted from the Account Value          
regardless of the amount of your Account Value. During the Accumulation Phase,  
the account fee is deducted pro rata from the Investment Portfolios. This       
charge is for administrative expenses (see above). This charge cannot be        
increased.                                                                      

A pro rata portion of the charge will be deducted from the Account Value on the 
Annuity Date if this date is other than a contract anniversary. If your Account 
Value on the Annuity Date is at least $50,000, then we will not deduct the      
account fee. After the Annuity Date, the charge will be collected monthly out   
of the Annuity Payment, regardless of the size of your contract.                

WITHDRAWAL CHARGE                                                               

If you selected the C Share Option, no withdrawal charges apply. For the        
Standard Version, we impose a withdrawal charge to reimburse us for contract    
sales expenses, including commissions and other distribution, promotion, and    
acquisition expenses. During the Accumulation Phase, you can make a withdrawal  
from your contract (either a partial or a complete withdrawal). If the amount   
you withdraw is determined to include the withdrawal of any of your prior       
Purchase Payments, a withdrawal charge is assessed against each Purchase        
Payment withdrawn. To determine what portion (if any) of a withdrawal is        
subject to a withdrawal charge, amounts are withdrawn from your contract in the 
following order:                                                                

1.   Earnings in your contract (earnings are equal to your Account Value, less  
Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn); then                     

2.   The free withdrawal amount described below (deducted from Purchase         
Payments not previously withdrawn, in the order such Purchase Payments
 were made, with the oldest Purchase Payment first, as described below);
then                                                                  

3.   Purchase Payments not previously withdrawn, in the order such Purchase     
  Payments were made: the oldest Purchase Payment first, the next Purchase
Payment second, etc. until all Purchase Payments have been withdrawn. 

The withdrawal charge is calculated at the time of each withdrawal in           
accordance with the following:

  5 and thereafter                          0            

For a partial withdrawal, the withdrawal charge is deducted from the remaining  
Account Value, if sufficient. If the remaining Account Value is not sufficient, 
the withdrawal charge is deducted from the amount withdrawn.                    

If the Account Value is smaller than the total of all Purchase Payments, the    
withdrawal charge only applies up to the Account Value.                         

We do not assess the withdrawal charge on any payments paid out as Annuity      
Payments or as death benefits. In addition, we will not assess the withdrawal   
charge on required minimum distributions from Qualified Contracts in order to   
satisfy federal income tax rules or to avoid required federal income tax        
penalties. This exception only applies to amounts required to be distributed    
from this contract. We do not assess the withdrawal charge on earnings in your  
contract.                                                                       

NOTE: For tax purposes, earnings from Non-Qualified Contracts are considered to 
come out first.                                                                 

FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT. The free withdrawal amount for each Contract Year after 
the first (there is no free withdrawal amount in the first Contract Year) is    
equal to 10% of your total Purchase Payments, less the total free withdrawal    
amount previously withdrawn in the same Contract Year. Also, we currently will  
not assess the withdrawal charge on amounts withdrawn during the first Contract 
Year under the Systematic Withdrawal Program. Any unused free withdrawal amount 
in one Contract Year does not carry over to the next Contract Year.             

REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE                               

GENERAL. We may elect to reduce or eliminate the amount of the withdrawal       
charge when the contract is sold under circumstances which reduce our sales     
expenses. Some examples are: if there is a large group of individuals that will 
be purchasing the contract, or if a prospective purchaser already had a         
relationship with us.                                                           

NURSING HOME OR HOSPITAL CONFINEMENT RIDER. We will not impose a withdrawal     
charge if, after you have owned the contract for one year, you or your Joint    
Owner becomes confined to a nursing home and/or hospital for at least 90        
consecutive days or confined for a total of at least 90 days if there is no     
more than a 6-month break in confinement and the confinements are for related   
causes. The confinement must begin after the first contract anniversary and you 
must have been the Owner continuously since the contract was issued (or have    
become the Owner as the spousal Beneficiary who continues the contract). The    
confinement must be prescribed by a physician and be medically necessary. You   
must exercise this right no later than 90 days after you or your Joint Owner    
exits the nursing home or hospital. This waiver terminates on the Annuity Date. 
We will not accept additional payments once this waiver is used. There is no    
charge for this rider. This rider is not available in Massachusetts and South   
Dakota.                                                                         

TERMINAL ILLNESS RIDER. After the first contract anniversary, we will waive the 
withdrawal charge if you or your Joint Owner are terminally ill and not         
expected to live more than 12 months; a physician certifies to your illness and 
life expectancy; you were not diagnosed with the terminal illness as of the     
date we issued your contract; and you have been the Owner continuously since    
the contract was issued (or have become the Owner as the spousal Beneficiary    
who continues the contract). This waiver terminates on the Annuity Date. We     
will not accept additional payments once this waiver is used. There is no       
charge for this rider. This rider is not available in Massachusetts.            

The Nursing Home or Hospital Confinement rider and the Terminal Illness rider   
are not available for Owners who are age 81 or older (on the contract issue     
date). Additional conditions and requirements apply to the Nursing Home or      
Hospital Confinement rider and the Terminal Illness rider. They are specified   
in the rider(s) that are part of your contract.                                 

PREMIUM AND OTHER TAXES                                                         

We reserve the right to deduct from Purchase Payments, account balances,        
withdrawals, death benefits or income payments any taxes relating to the        
contracts (including, but not limited to, premium taxes) paid by us to any      
government entity. Examples of these taxes include, but are not limited to,     
premium tax, generation-skipping transfer

tax or a similar excise tax under federal or state tax law which is imposed on  
payments we make to certain persons and income tax withholdings on withdrawals  
and income payments to the extent required by law. Premium taxes generally      
range from 0 to 3.5%, depending on the state. We will, at our sole discretion,  
determine when taxes relate to the contracts. We may, at our sole discretion,   
pay taxes when due and deduct that amount from the account balance at a later   
date. Payment at an earlier date does not waive any right we may have to deduct 
amounts at a later date. It is our current practice not to charge premium taxes 
until Annuity Payments begin.                                                   

TRANSFER FEE                                                                    

We currently allow unlimited transfers without charge during the Accumulation   
Phase. However, we have reserved the right to limit the number of transfers to  
a maximum of 12 per year without charge and to charge a transfer fee of $25 for 
each transfer greater than 12 in any year. We are currently waiving the         
transfer fee, but reserve the right to charge it in the future. The transfer    
fee is deducted from the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account from which the   
transfer is made. However, if the entire interest in an account is being        
transferred, the transfer fee will be deducted from the amount which is         
transferred.                                                                    

If the transfer is part of a pre-scheduled transfer program, it will not count  
in determining the transfer fee.                                                

INCOME TAXES                                                                    

We reserve the right to deduct from the contract for any income taxes which we  
incur because of the contract. In general, we believe under current federal     
income tax law, we are entitled to hold reserves with respect to the contract   
that offset Separate Account income. If this should change, it is possible we   
could incur income tax with respect to the contract, and in that event we may   
deduct such tax from the contract. At the present time, however, we are not     
incurring any such income tax or making any such deductions.                    

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO EXPENSES                                                   

There are deductions from and expenses paid out of the assets of each           
Investment Portfolio, which are described in the Investment Portfolio           
prospectuses. These deductions and expenses are not charges under the terms of  
the contract, but are represented in the share values of each Investment        
Portfolio.                                                                      

5.  ANNUITY PAYMENTS                                                            

(THE INCOME PHASE)                                              

ANNUITY DATE                                                                    

Under the contract you can receive regular income payments (referred to as      
ANNUITY PAYMENTS). You can choose the month and year in which those payments    
begin. We call that date the ANNUITY DATE. Your Annuity Date must be the first  
day of a calendar month and must be at least 30 days after we issue the         
contract.                                                                       

When you purchase the contract, the Annuity Date will be the later of the first 
day of the calendar month after the Annuitant's 90th birthday or 10 years from  
the date your contract was issued. You can change or extend the Annuity Date at 
any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days prior notice to us (subject to    
restrictions that may apply in your state, restrictions imposed by your selling 
firm, and our current established administrative procedures).                   

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ONCE YOUR CONTRACT IS ANNUITIZED, YOU ARE INELIGIBLE TO    
RECEIVE THE DEATH BENEFIT YOU HAVE SELECTED.                                    

ANNUITY PAYMENTS                                                                

You (unless another payee is named) will receive the Annuity Payments during    
the Income Phase. The Annuitant is the natural person(s) whose life we look to  
in the determination of Annuity Payments.                                       

During the Income Phase, you have the same investment choices you had just      
before the start of the Income Phase. At the Annuity Date, you can choose       
whether payments will be:                                                       

o  fixed Annuity Payments, or                                                   

o  variable Annuity Payments, or                                                

o  a combination of both.                                                       

If you don't tell us otherwise, your Annuity Payments will be based on the      
investment allocations that were in place just before the start of the Income   
Phase.                                                                          

If you choose to have any portion of your Annuity Payments based on the         
Investment Portfolio(s), the dollar amount of your initial payment will vary    
and will depend upon three things:                                              

1)   the value of your contract in the Investment Portfolio(s) just before the  
start of the Income Phase,

2)   the assumed investment return (AIR) (you select) used in the annuity       
table for the contract, and                                           

3)   the Annuity Option elected.                                                

Subsequent variable Annuity Payments will vary with the performance of the      
Investment Portfolios you selected. (For more information, see "Variable        
Annuity Payments" below.)                                                       

At the time you choose an Annuity Option, you select the AIR, which must be     
acceptable to us. Currently, you can select an AIR of 3% or 4%. You can change  
the AIR with 30 days notice to us prior to the Annuity Date. If you do not      
select an AIR, we will use 3%. If the actual performance exceeds the AIR, your  
variable Annuity Payments will increase. Similarly, if the actual investment    
performance is less than the AIR, your variable Annuity Payments will decrease. 

Your variable Annuity Payment is based on ANNUITY UNITS. An Annuity Unit is an  
accounting device used to calculate the dollar amount of Annuity Payments. (For 
more information, see "Variable Annuity Payments" below.)                       

When selecting an AIR, you should keep in mind that a lower AIR will result in  
a lower initial variable Annuity Payment, but subsequent variable Annuity       
Payments will increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in  
the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios. On the other hand, a    
higher AIR will result in a higher initial variable Annuity Payment than a      
lower AIR, but later variable Annuity Payments will rise more slowly or fall    
more rapidly.                                                                   

A transfer during the Income Phase from a variable Annuity Payment option to a  
fixed Annuity Payment option may result in a reduction in the amount of Annuity 
Payments.                                                                       

If you choose to have any portion of your Annuity Payments be a fixed Annuity   
Payment, the dollar amount of each fixed Annuity Payment will not change,       
unless you make a transfer from a variable Annuity Payment option to the fixed  
Annuity Payment that causes the fixed Annuity Payment to increase. Please refer 
to the "Annuity Provisions" section of the Statement of Additional Information  
for more information.                                                           

Annuity Payments are made monthly (or at any frequency permitted under the      
contract) unless you have less than $5,000 to apply toward an Annuity Option.   
In that case, we may provide your Annuity Payment in a single lump sum instead  
of Annuity Payments. Likewise, if your Annuity Payments would be or become less 
than $100 a month, we have the right to change the frequency of payments so     
that your Annuity Payments are at least $100.                                   

ANNUITY OPTIONS                                                                 

You can choose among income plans. We call those ANNUITY OPTIONS. You can       
change your Annuity Option at any time before the Annuity Date with 30 days     
notice to us.                                                                   

If you do not choose an Annuity Option, Option 2, which provides a life annuity 
with 10 years of guaranteed Annuity Payments, will automatically be applied.    

You can choose one of the following Annuity Options or any other Annuity Option 
acceptable to us. After Annuity Payments begin, you cannot change the Annuity   
Option.                                                                         

If more than one frequency is permitted under your contract, choosing less      
frequent payments will result in each Annuity Payment being larger. Annuity     
options that guarantee that payments will be made for a certain number of years 
regardless of whether the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive (such as       
Options 2 and 4 below) result in Annuity Payments that are smaller than Annuity 
Options without such a guarantee (such as Options 1 and 3 below). For Annuity   
Options with a designated period, choosing a shorter designated period will     
result in each Annuity Payment being larger.                                    

OPTION 1. LIFE ANNUITY. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so     
long as the Annuitant is alive. We stop making Annuity Payments after the       
Annuitant's death. It is possible under this option to receive only one Annuity 
Payment if the Annuitant dies before the due date of the second payment or to   
receive only two Annuity Payments if the Annuitant dies before the due date of  
the third payment, and so on.                                                   

OPTION 2. LIFE ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS GUARANTEED. Under this 
option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant is alive. If,    
when the Annuitant dies, we have made Annuity Payments for less than ten years, 
we will then continue to make Annuity Payments to the Beneficiary for the rest  
of the 10 year period.                                                          

OPTION 3. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY. Under this option, we will make      
Annuity Payments so long as the Annuitant and a second person (joint Annuitant) 
are both alive. When either Annuitant dies, we will continue to

make Annuity Payments, so long as the survivor continues to live. We will stop  
making Annuity Payments after the last survivor's death.                        

OPTION 4. JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY WITH 10 YEARS OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS     
GUARANTEED. Under this option, we will make Annuity Payments so long as the     
Annuitant and a second person (joint Annuitant) are both alive. When either     
Annuitant dies, we will continue to make Annuity Payments, so long as the       
survivor continues to live. If, at the last death of the Annuitant and the      
joint Annuitant, we have made Annuity Payments for less than ten years, we will 
then continue to make Annuity Payments to the Beneficiary for the rest of the   
10 year period.                                                                 

OPTION 5. PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD. We currently offer an Annuity       
Option under which fixed or variable monthly Annuity Payments are made for a    
selected number of years as approved by us, currently not less than 10 years.   
This Annuity Option may be limited or withdrawn by us in our discretion.        

We may require proof of age or sex of an Annuitant before making any Annuity    
Payments under the contract that are measured by the Annuitant's life. If the   
age or sex of the Annuitant has been misstated, the amount payable will be the  
amount that the Account Value would have provided at the correct age or sex.    
Once Annuity Payments have begun, any underpayments will be made up in one sum  
with the next Annuity Payment. Any overpayments will be deducted from future    
Annuity Payments until the total is repaid.                                     

A commutation feature (a feature that allows the Owner to receive a lump sum of 
the present value of future Annuity Payments) is available under the variable   
Payments for a Designated Period Annuity Option (Option 5).You may not commute  
the fixed Payments for a Designated Period Annuity Option or any option         
involving a life contingency, whether fixed or variable, prior to the death of  
the last surviving Annuitant. Upon the death of the last surviving Annuitant,   
the Beneficiary may choose to continue receiving income payments or to receive  
the commuted value of the remaining guaranteed payments. For variable Annuity   
Options, the calculation of the commuted value will be done using the AIR       
applicable to the contract. (See "Annuity Payments" above.) For fixed Annuity   
Options, the calculation of the commuted value will be done using the then      
current Annuity Option rates.                                                   

There may be tax consequences resulting from the election of an Annuity Payment 
option containing a commutation feature (I.E., an Annuity Payment option that   
permits the withdrawal of a commuted value). (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") 

Due to underwriting, administrative or Internal Revenue Code considerations,    
there may be limitations on payments to the survivor under Options 3 and 4      
and/or the duration of the guarantee period under Options 2, 4, and 5.          

Tax rules with respect to decedent contracts may prohibit the election of Joint 
and Last Survivor Annuity Options (or income types) and may also prohibit       
payments for as long as the Owner's life in certain circumstances.              

In addition to the Annuity Options described above, we may offer an additional  
payment option that would allow your Beneficiary to take distribution of the    
Account Value over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy.    
Under this option, annual distributions would not be made in the form of an     
annuity, but would be calculated in a manner similar to the calculation of      
required minimum distributions from IRAs. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") We 
intend to make this payment option available to both Qualified Contracts and    
Non-Qualified Contracts.                                                        

In the event that you purchased the contract as a Qualified Contract, you must  
take distribution of the Account Value in accordance with the minimum required  
distribution rules set forth in applicable tax law. (See "Federal Income Tax    
Status.") Under certain circumstances, you may satisfy those requirements by    
electing an Annuity Option. You may choose any death benefit available under    
the contract, but certain other contract provisions and programs will not be    
available. Upon your death, if Annuity Payments have already begun, the death   
benefit would be required to be distributed to your Beneficiary at least as     
rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of your       
death.                                                                          

VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS                                                       

The Adjusted Contract Value (the Account Value, less any applicable premium     
taxes, account fee, and any prorated rider charge) is determined on the annuity 
calculation date, which is a Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days   
before the Annuity Date. The first variable Annuity Payment will be based upon  
the Adjusted Contract Value, the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age,   
the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and the appropriate variable      
Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be less than those guaranteed 
in your contract at the time of purchase for the assumed investment return

and Annuity Option elected. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then    
current variable Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts     
provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which is guaranteed under the 
same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater payment will be made.      

The dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments after the first payment is       
determined as follows:                                                          

o  The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is divided by the    
value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Investment Portfolio as of   
the annuity calculation date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units
for each payment. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable         
Investment Portfolio remains fixed during the annuity period, provided    
that transfers among the Investment Portfolios will be made by converting 
the number of Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity    
Units of the Investment Portfolio to which the transfer is made, and the  
number of Annuity Units will be adjusted for transfers to a fixed Annuity 
Option. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for details    
about making transfers during the Annuity Phase.                          

o  The fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Investment Portfolio   
is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Portfolio for 
the Business Day for which the Annuity Payment is being calculated. This  
result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Investment 
Portfolio, less any account fee. The account fee will be deducted pro rata
out of each Annuity Payment.                                              

o  The total dollar amount of each variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all   
Investment Portfolio variable Annuity Payments.                           

ANNUITY UNIT. The initial Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio of   
the Separate Account was set by us. The subsequent Annuity Unit value for each  
Investment Portfolio is determined by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for    
the immediately preceding Business Day by the net investment factor (see the    
Statement of Additional Information for a definition) for the Investment        
Portfolio for the current Business Day and multiplying the result by a factor   
for each day since the last Business Day which represents the daily equivalent  
of the AIR you elected.                                                         

FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS                                                          

The Adjusted Contract Value (defined above under "Variable Annuity Payments")   
on the day immediately preceding the Annuity Date will be used to determine a   
fixed Annuity Payment. The Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity       
Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by    
law), and the appropriate Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be  
less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase. If, as of  
the annuity calculation date, the then current Annuity Option rates applicable  
to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment greater than that which   
is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater    
payment will be made. You may not make a transfer from the fixed Annuity Option 
to the variable Annuity Option.                                                 

6. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY                                                         

You (or in the case of a death benefit, your Beneficiary) can have access to    
the money in your contract:                                                     

(1)    by making a withdrawal (either a partial or a complete withdrawal);      

(2)    by electing to receive Annuity Payments; or                              

(3)    when a death benefit is paid to your Beneficiary.                        

Under most circumstances, withdrawals can only be made during the Accumulation  
Phase.                                                                          

You may establish a withdrawal plan under which you can receive substantially   
equal periodic payments in order to comply with the requirements of Sections    
72(q) or (t) of the Code. Premature modification or termination of such         
payments may result in substantial penalty taxes. (See "Federal Income Tax      
Status.")                                                                       

When you make a complete withdrawal, you will receive the withdrawal value of   
the contract. The withdrawal value of the contract is the Account Value of the  
contract at the end of the Business Day when we receive a written request for a 
withdrawal:                                                                     

o  less any applicable withdrawal charge;                                       

o  less any premium or other tax; and                                           

o  less any account fee.

Unless you instruct us otherwise, any partial withdrawal will be made pro rata  
from the Fixed Account and the Investment Portfolio(s) you selected. Under most 
circumstances the amount of any partial withdrawal must be for at least $500,   
or your entire interest in the Investment Portfolio or Fixed Account. We        
require that after a partial withdrawal is made you keep at least $2,000 in the 
contract. If the withdrawal would result in the Account Value being less than   
$2,000 after a partial withdrawal, we will treat the withdrawal request as a    
request for a full withdrawal.                                                  

We will pay the amount of any withdrawal from the Separate Account within seven 
days of when we receive the request in Good Order unless the suspension of      
payments or transfers provision is in effect.                                   

We may withhold payment of withdrawal proceeds if any portion of those proceeds 
would be derived from a contract Owner's check that has not yet cleared (I.E.,  
that could still be dishonored by the contract Owner's banking institution). We 
may use telephone, fax, Internet or other means of communication to verify that 
payment from the contract Owner's check has been or will be collected. We will  
not delay payment longer than necessary for us to verify that payment has been  
or will be collected. Contract Owners may avoid the possibility of delay in the 
disbursement of proceeds coming from a check that has not yet cleared by        
providing us with a certified check.                                            

How to withdraw all or part of your Account Value:                              

o  You must submit a request to our Annuity Service Center. (See "Other         
Information - Requests and Elections.")                                   

o  If you would like to have the withdrawal charge waived under the Nursing     
Home or Hospital Confinement Rider or the Terminal Illness Rider, you must
provide satisfactory evidence of confinement to a nursing home or hospital
or terminal illness. (See "Expenses - Reduction or Elimination of the     
Withdrawal Charge.")                                                      

o  You must state in your request whether you would like to apply the proceeds  
to a payment option (otherwise you will receive the proceeds in a lump sum
and may be taxed on them).                                                

o  We have to receive your withdrawal request in our Annuity Service Center     
prior to the Annuity Date or Owner's death.                               

There are limits to the amount you can withdraw from certain qualified plans    
including Qualified and TSA plans. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.")           

INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO ANY           
WITHDRAWAL YOU MAKE.                                                            

DIVORCE. A withdrawal made pursuant to a divorce or separation instrument is    
subject to the same withdrawal charge provisions as described in "Expenses -    
Withdrawal Charge," if permissible under tax law (there are no withdrawal       
charges if you selected the C Share Option). In addition, the withdrawal will   
reduce the Account Value and the death benefit. The withdrawal could have a     
significant negative impact on the optional Return of Premium death benefit.    

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM                                                   

You may elect the Systematic Withdrawal Program at any time. We do not assess a 
charge for this program. This program provides an automatic payment to you of   
up to 10% of your total Purchase Payments each year. You can receive payments   
monthly or quarterly, provided that each payment must amount to at least $100   
(unless we consent otherwise). We reserve the right to change the required      
minimum systematic withdrawal amount. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed  
on a day when the withdrawal is to be made, we will process the withdrawal on   
the next Business Day. While the Systematic Withdrawal Program is in effect you 
can make additional withdrawals. However, such withdrawals plus the systematic  
withdrawals will be considered when determining the applicability of any        
withdrawal charge. (For a discussion of the withdrawal charge, see "Expenses"   
above.)                                                                         

We will terminate your participation in the Systematic Withdrawal Program when  
we receive notification of your death.                                          

INCOME TAXES, TAX PENALTIES AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS MAY APPLY TO SYSTEMATIC    
WITHDRAWALS.

SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS OR TRANSFERS                                             

We may be required to suspend or postpone payments for withdrawals or transfers 
for any period when:                                                            

o  the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and      
holiday closings);                                                        

o  trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;                        

o  an emergency exists, as determined by the Securities and Exchange            
Commission, as a result of which disposal of shares of the Investment     
Portfolios is not reasonably practicable or we cannot reasonably value the
shares of the Investment Portfolios; or                                   

o  during any other period when the Securities and Exchange Commission, by      
order, so permits for the protection of Owners.                           

We have reserved the right to defer payment for a withdrawal or transfer from   
the Fixed Account for the period permitted by law, but not for more than six    
months.                                                                         

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might,  
in certain circumstances, require us to block an Owner's ability to make        
certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept any requests for transfers,   
withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits until instructions are received from 
the appropriate regulator. We may also be required to provide additional        
information about you and your contract to government regulators.               

7. PERFORMANCE                                                                  

We periodically advertise subaccount performance relating to the Investment     
Portfolios. We will calculate performance by determining the percentage change  
in the value of an Accumulation Unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for    
that unit by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period. 
This performance number reflects the deduction of the Separate Account product  
charges (including certain death benefit rider charges) and the Investment      
Portfolio expenses. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable account 
fee, withdrawal charge, or applicable optional rider charges. The deduction of  
these charges would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any          
percentage decrease. Any advertisement will also include total return figures   
which reflect the deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including  
certain death benefit rider charges), account fee, withdrawal charges,          
applicable optional rider charges, and the Investment Portfolio expenses.       

For periods starting prior to the date the contract was first offered, the      
performance will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding    
Investment Portfolios for the periods commencing from the date on which the     
particular Investment Portfolio was made available through the Separate         
Account.                                                                        

In addition, the performance for the Investment Portfolios may be shown for the 
period commencing from the inception date of the Investment Portfolios. These   
figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of   
the Separate Account.                                                           

We may, from time to time, include in our advertising and sales materials       
performance information for funds or investment accounts related to the         
Investment Portfolios and/or their investment advisers or subadvisers. Such     
related performance information also may reflect the deduction of certain       
contract charges. We may also include in our advertising and sales materials    
tax deferred compounding charts and other hypothetical illustrations, which may 
include comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs,  
based on selected tax brackets.                                                 

We may advertise using illustrations with historical performance of specific    
Investment Portfolios or with a hypothetical rate of return (which rate will    
not exceed 12%) or a combination of historical and hypothetical returns. These  
illustrations will reflect the deduction of all applicable charges including    
the portfolio expenses of the underlying Investment Portfolios.                 

You should know that for any performance we illustrate, future performance will 
vary and results shown are not necessarily representative of future results.    

8. DEATH BENEFIT                                                                

UPON YOUR DEATH                                                                 

If you die during the Accumulation Phase, we will pay a death benefit to your   
Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries). This death benefit is described below. The      
death benefit is determined as of the end of the Business Day on which we       
receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method. Until   
the Beneficiary (or the first Beneficiary if there are multiple Beneficiaries)  
submits the necessary documentation in Good Order, the Account Value            
attributable to his/her portion of the death benefit

remains in the Investment Portfolios and is subject to investment risk.         

Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, any guaranteed death benefit will only  
be determined as of the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary        
documentation in Good Order. For the optional Return of Premium death benefit,  
if the guaranteed death benefit payable is an amount that exceeds the Account   
Value on the day it is determined, we will apply to the contract's Account      
Value an amount equal to the difference between the death benefit payable and   
the Account Value, in accordance with the current allocation of the Account     
Value. If the Optional Return of Premium death benefit was not elected, the     
amount of the death benefit payable to the first Beneficiary is that            
Beneficiary's portion of the Account Value. If the optional Return of Premium   
death benefit was elected, the amount of the death benefit payable to the first 
Beneficiary is that Beneficiary's portion of the greater of 1) the Account      
Value or 2) the guaranteed death benefit amount, each determined as of the date 
of his/her claim in Good Order.The remaining death benefit amounts are held in  
the Investment Portfolios until each of the other Beneficiaries submits the     
necessary documentation in Good Order to claim his/her death benefit (see       
"General Death Benefit Provisions" below) and are subject to investment risk    
until we receive his/her necessary documentation .                              

If you have a Joint Owner, the death benefit will be paid when the first Owner  
dies. Upon the death of either Owner, the surviving Joint Owner will be the     
primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a     
contingent Beneficiary, unless instructed otherwise.                            

If a non-natural person owns the contract, the Annuitant will be deemed to be   
the Owner in determining the death benefit. If there are Joint Owners, the age  
of the oldest Owner will be used to determine the death benefit amount.         

If we are presented with notification of your death before any requested        
transaction is completed (including transactions under a dollar cost averaging  
program, the Automatic Rebalancing Program, the Systematic Withdrawal Program,  
or the Automated Required Minimum Distribution Program), we will cancel the     
request. As described above, the death benefit will be determined when we       
receive both due proof of death and an election for the payment method.         

STANDARD DEATH BENEFIT (ACCOUNT VALUE)                                          

The death benefit will be equal to the Account Value as of the end of the       
Business Day on which we receive both due proof of death and an election for    
the payment method.                                                             

OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT - RETURN OF PREMIUM                                      

If you select the Return of Premium death benefit rider, the death benefit will 
be the greater of:                                                              

(1)  the Account Value; or                                                      

(2)  total Purchase Payments, reduced proportionately by the percentage         
reduction in Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal    
(including any applicable withdrawal charge).                         

If the Owner is a natural person and the Owner is changed to someone other than 
a spouse, the death benefit amount will be determined as defined above;         
however, subsection (2) will be changed to provide as follows: "the Account     
Value as of the effective date of the change of Owner, increased by Purchase    
Payments received after the date of the change of Owner, reduced                
proportionately by the percentage reduction in Account Value attributable to    
each partial withdrawal (including any applicable withdrawal charge) made after 
such date."                                                                     

In the event that a Beneficiary who is the spouse of the Owner elects to        
continue the contract in his or her name after the Owner dies, the death        
benefit amount under the Return of Premium death benefit will be determined in  
accordance with (1) or (2) above.                                               

(See Appendix B for examples of the Return of Premium death benefit.)           

GENERAL DEATH BENEFIT PROVISIONS                                                

As described above, the death benefit is determined as of the end of the        
Business Day on which we receive both due proof of death and an election for    
the payment method. Until a Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in  
Good Order, the Account Value attributable to his/her portion of the death      
benefit remains in the Investment Portfolios and is subject to investment risk. 
This risk is borne by the Beneficiary.                                          

If the Beneficiary under a Qualified Contract is the Annuitant's spouse, the    
tax law generally allows distributions to begin by the year in which the        
Annuitant

would have reached 70 1/2 (which may be more or less than five years after the  
Annuitant's death).                                                             

A Beneficiary must elect the death benefit to be paid under one of the payment  
options (unless the Owner has previously made the election). The entire death   
benefit must be paid within five years of the date of death unless the          
Beneficiary elects to have the death benefit payable under an Annuity Option.   
The death benefit payable under an Annuity Option must be paid over the         
Beneficiary's lifetime or for a period not extending beyond the Beneficiary's   
life expectancy. For Non-Qualified Contracts, payment must begin within one     
year of the date of death. For Qualified Contracts, payment must begin no later 
than the end of the calendar year immediately following the year of death.      

We may also offer a payment option, for both Non-Qualified Contracts and        
certain Qualified Contracts, under which your Beneficiary may receive payments, 
over a period not extending beyond his or her life expectancy, under a method   
of distribution similar to the distribution of required minimum distributions   
from Individual Retirement Accounts. If this option is elected, we will issue a 
new contract to your Beneficiary in order to facilitate the distribution of     
payments. Your Beneficiary may choose any optional death benefit available      
under the new contract. Upon the death of your Beneficiary, the death benefit   
would be required to be distributed to your Beneficiary's beneficiary at least  
as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of your    
Beneficiary's death. (See "Federal Income Tax Status.") To the extent permitted 
under the tax law, and in accordance with our procedures, your designated       
Beneficiary is permitted under our procedures to make additional Purchase       
Payments consisting of monies which are direct transfers (as permitted under    
tax law) from other Qualified Contracts or Non-Qualified Contracts, depending   
on which type of contract you own, held in the name of the decedent. Any such   
additional Purchase Payments would be subject to applicable withdrawal charges. 
Your Beneficiary is also permitted to choose some of the optional benefits      
available under the contract, but certain contract provisions or programs may   
not be available.                                                               

If a lump sum payment is elected and all the necessary requirements are met,    
the payment will be made within seven days. Payment to the Beneficiary under an 
Annuity Option may only be elected during the 60-day period beginning with the  
date we receive due proof of death.                                             

If the Owner or a Joint Owner, who is not the Annuitant, dies during the Income 
Phase, any remaining payments under the Annuity Option elected will continue at 
least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the time of   
the Owner's death. Upon the death of the Owner or a Joint Owner during the      
Income Phase, the Beneficiary becomes the Owner.                                

SPOUSAL CONTINUATION                                                            

If the primary Beneficiary is the spouse of the Owner, upon the Owner's death,  
the Beneficiary may elect to continue the contract in his or her own name. Upon 
such election, the Account Value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to  
an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and   
receipt of due proof of death of the Owner. Any excess of the death benefit     
amount over the Account Value will be allocated to each applicable Investment   
Portfolio and/or the Fixed Account in the ratio that the Account Value in the   
Investment Portfolio and/or the Fixed Account bears to the total Account Value. 
The terms and conditions of the contract that applied prior to the Owner's      
death will continue to apply, including the ability to make Purchase Payments,  
with certain exceptions described in the contract.                              

For purposes of the death benefit on the continued contract, the death benefit  
is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation except that    
all values used to calculate the death benefit are reset on the date the spouse 
continues the contract.                                                         

Spousal continuation will not satisfy minimum required distribution rules for   
Qualified Contracts other than IRAs (see "Federal Income Tax Status").          

All contract provisions will be interpreted and administered in accordance with 
the requirements of the Code. Any Internal Revenue Code reference to "spouses"  
includes those persons who are married spouses under state law, regardless of   
sex.                                                                            

DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT                                                          

If the Annuitant, not an Owner or Joint Owner, dies during the Accumulation     
Phase, you automatically become the Annuitant. You can select a new Annuitant   
if you do not want to be the Annuitant (subject to our then current             
underwriting standards). However, if the Owner is a non- natural person (for    
example, a trust), then the death of the

primary Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner, and a new          
Annuitant may not be named.                                                     

Upon the death of the Annuitant after Annuity Payments begin, the death         
benefit, if any, will be as provided for in the Annuity Option selected. Death  
benefits will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution   
in effect at the Annuitant's death.                                             

CONTROLLED PAYOUT                                                               

You may elect to have the death benefit proceeds paid to your Beneficiary in    
the form of Annuity Payments for life or over a period of time that does not    
exceed your Beneficiary's life expectancy. This election must be in writing in  
Good Order. You may revoke the election only in writing in Good Order. Upon     
your death, the Beneficiary cannot revoke or modify your election. The          
Controlled Payout is only available to Non-Qualified Contracts.                 

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS                                                    

INTRODUCTION                                                                    

The following information on taxes is a general discussion of the subject. It   
is not intended as tax advice. The Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and the     
provisions of the Code that govern the contract are complex and subject to      
change. The applicability of federal income tax rules may vary with your        
particular circumstances. This discussion does not include all the federal      
income tax rules that may affect you and your contract. Nor does this           
discussion address other federal tax consequences (such as estate and gift      
taxes, sales to foreign individuals or entities), or state or local tax         
consequences, which may affect your investment in the contract. As a result,    
you should always consult a tax adviser for complete information and advice     
applicable to your individual situation.                                        

You are responsible for determining whether your purchase of a contract,        
withdrawals, income payments and any other transactions under your contract     
satisfy applicable tax law. We are not responsible for determining if your      
employer's plan or arrangement satisfies the requirements of the Code and/or    
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).                    

We do not expect to incur federal, state or local income taxes on the earnings  
or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. However, if we  
do incur such taxes in the future, we reserve the right to charge amounts       
allocated to the Separate Account for these taxes.                              

To the extent permitted under federal tax law, we may claim the benefit of the  
corporate dividends received deduction and of certain foreign tax credits       
attributable to taxes paid by certain of the Investment Portfolios to foreign   
jurisdictions.                                                                  

Any Code reference to "spouse" includes those persons who are married spouses   
under state law, regardless of sex.                                             

NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS                                                         

A "Non-Qualified Contract" discussed here assumes the contract is an annuity    
contract for federal income tax purposes, but the contract is not held in a tax 
qualified "plan" defined by the Code. Tax qualified plans include arrangements  
described in Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered      
annuities (TSA), 408 or "IRAs" (including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or "Roth   
IRAs" or 457(b) or governmental 457(b) plans. Contracts owned through such      
plans are referred to below as "Qualified Contracts."                           

INVESTOR CONTROL                                                                

In certain circumstances, Owners of variable annuity Non-Qualified Contracts    
have been considered to be the owners of the assets of the underlying Separate  
Account for federal income tax purposes due to their ability to exercise        
investment control over those assets. When this is the case, the contract       
Owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the        
variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some        
features of the contract, such as the number of Investment Portfolios available 
and the flexibility of the contract Owner to allocate Purchase Payments and     
transfer amounts among the Investment Portfolios have not been addressed in     
public rulings. While we believe that the contract does not give the contract   
Owner investment control over Separate Account assets, we reserve the right to  
modify the contract as necessary to prevent a contract Owner from being treated 
as the owner of the Separate Account assets supporting the contract.            

ACCUMULATION                                                                    

Generally, an Owner of a Non-Qualified Contract is not taxed on increases in    
the value of the contract until there is a distribution from the contract,      
either as surrenders, partial withdrawals, or income payments. This deferral of 
taxation on accumulated value in the contract is limited to contracts owned by  
or held for the benefit of "natural persons." A contract will be treated as     
held by a natural

person even if the nominal Owner is a trust or other entity which holds the     
contract as an agent for a natural person.                                      

In contrast, a contract owned by other than a "natural person," such as a       
corporation, partnership, trust, or other entity, will be taxed currently on    
the increase in accumulated value in the contract in the year earned. Note that 
in this regard, an employer which is the Owner of an annuity contract under a   
non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees would be      
considered a non-natural Owner and the annual increase in the Account Value     
would be subject to current income taxation.                                    

SURRENDERS OR WITHDRAWALS - EARLY DISTRIBUTION                                  

If you take a withdrawal from your contract, or surrender your contract prior   
to the date you commence taking annuity or "income" payments (the "Annuity      
Starting Date"), the amount you receive will be treated first as coming from    
earnings (and thus subject to income tax) and then from your Purchase Payments  
(which are not subject to income tax). If the accumulated value is less than    
your Purchase Payments upon surrender of your contract, you might be able to    
claim the loss on your federal income taxes as a miscellaneous itemized         
deduction.                                                                      

The portion of any withdrawal or distribution from an annuity contract that is  
subject to income tax will also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty  
for "early" distribution if such withdrawal or distribution is taken prior to   
you reaching age 59 1/2, unless the distribution was made:                      

(a)  on account of your death or disability,                                    

(b)  as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments payable for   
your life or joint lives of you and your designated Beneficiary, or   

(c)  under certain immediate income annuities providing for substantially       
equal payments made at least annually.                                

If you receive systematic payments that you intend to qualify for the           
"substantially equal periodic payments" exception noted above, any              
modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 
1/2 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later,    
will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty 
with interest. Such modifications may include additional Purchase Payments or   
withdrawals (including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from 
the contract.                                                                   

If your contract has been purchased with an Optional Two Year Withdrawal        
Feature or is for a guaranteed period only (term certain) annuity, and is       
terminated as a result of the exercise of the withdrawal feature, the taxable   
portion of the payment will generally be the excess of the proceeds received    
over your remaining after-tax Purchase Payment.                                 

For Non-Qualified Contracts, amounts received under the exercise of a partial   
withdrawal may be fully includible in taxable income. The entire amount of the  
withdrawal could be treated as taxable income. Exercise of either withdrawal    
feature may adversely impact the amount of subsequent payments which can be     
treated as a nontaxable return of investment.                                   

TREATMENT OF SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES                                           

It is possible that at some future date the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may  
consider that contract charges attributable to certain guaranteed death         
benefits are to be treated as distributions from the contract to pay for such   
non-annuity benefits. Currently, these charges are considered to be an          
intrinsic part of the contract and we do not report these as taxable income.    
However, if this treatment changes in the future, the charge could also be      
subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty as an early distribution, as        
described above.                                                                

AGGREGATION                                                                     

If you purchase two or more deferred annuity contracts from us (or our          
affiliates) during the same calendar year (after October 21, 1988), the law     
requires that all such contracts must be treated as a single contract for       
purposes of determining whether any payments not received as an annuity (e.g.,  
withdrawals) will be includible in income. Aggregation could affect the amount  
of a withdrawal that is taxable and subject to the 10% federal income tax       
penalty described above. Since the IRS may require aggregation in other         
circumstances as well, you should consult a tax adviser if you are purchasing   
more than one annuity contract from the same insurance company in a single      
calendar year. Aggregation does not affect distributions paid in the form of an 
annuity (see "Taxation of Payments in Annuity Form" below).                     

EXCHANGES/TRANSFERS                                                             

The annuity contract may be exchanged in whole or in part for another annuity   
contract or a long-term care insurance policy. The exchange for another annuity 
contract may be a tax-free transaction provided that, among other prescribed    
IRS conditions, no amounts are distributed from either

contract involved in the exchange for 180 days following the date of the        
exchange - other than Annuity Payments made for life, joint lives, or for a     
term of 10 years or more. Otherwise, a withdrawal or "deemed" distribution may  
be includible in your taxable income (plus a 10% federal income tax penalty) to 
the extent that the accumulated value of your annuity exceeds your investment   
in the contract (your "gain"). The opportunity to make partial annuity          
exchanges was provided by the IRS in 2011 and some ramifications of such an     
exchange remain unclear. If the annuity contract is exchanged in part for an    
additional annuity contract, a distribution from either contract may be taxable 
to the extent of the combined gain attributable to both contracts, or only to   
the extent of your gain in the contract from which the distribution is paid. It 
is not clear whether this guidance applies to a partial exchange involving      
long-term care contracts. Consult your tax adviser prior to a partial exchange. 

A transfer of ownership of the contract, or the designation of an Annuitant or  
other Beneficiary who is not also the contract Owner, may result in income or   
gift tax consequences to the contract Owner. You should consult your tax        
adviser if you are considering such a transfer or assignment.                   

DEATH BENEFITS                                                                  

The death benefit is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to  
the contract Owner (under the rules for withdrawals or income payments,         
whichever is applicable).                                                       

After your death, any death benefit determined under the contract must be       
distributed according to certain rules. The method of distribution that is      
required depends on whether you die before or after the Annuity Starting Date.  
If you die on or after the Annuity Starting Date, the remaining portion of the  
interest in the contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the   
method of distribution being used as of the date of death. If you die before    
the Annuity Starting Date, the entire interest in the contract must be          
distributed within five (5) years after the date of death, or as periodic       
payments over a period not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the  
designated Beneficiary (provided such payments begin within one year of your    
death). Your designated Beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under  
the contract pass by reason of death; the Beneficiary must be a natural person  
in order to elect a periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a       
period exceeding five years. Additionally, if the annuity is payable to (or for 
the benefit of) your surviving spouse, that portion of the contract may be      
continued with your spouse as the Owner. For contracts owned by a non-natural   
person, the required distribution rules apply upon the death of the Annuitant.  
If there is more than one Annuitant of a contract held by a non-natural person, 
then such required distributions will be triggered by the death of the first    
co-Annuitant.                                                                   

TAXATION OF PAYMENTS IN ANNUITY FORM                                            

When payments are received from the contract in the form of an annuity,         
normally the Annuity Payments are taxable as ordinary income to the extent that 
payments exceed the portion of the payment determined by applying the exclusion 
ratio to the entire payment. The exclusion ratio of a contract is determined at 
the time the contract's accumulated value is converted to an annuity form of    
distribution. Generally, the applicable exclusion ratio is your investment in   
the contract divided by the total payments you are expected to receive based on 
IRS rules which consider such factors, such as the form of annuity and          
mortality. The excludable portion of each Annuity Payment is the return of      
investment in the contract and it is excludable from your taxable income until  
your investment in the contract is fully recovered. We will make this           
calculation for you. However, it is possible that the IRS could conclude that   
the taxable portion of income payments under a Non-Qualified Contract is an     
amount greater - or less - than the taxable amount determined by us and         
reported by us to you and the IRS.                                              

Once you have recovered the investment in the contract, further Annuity         
Payments are fully taxable. If you die before your investment in the contract   
is fully recovered, the balance may be deducted on your last tax return, or if  
Annuity Payments continue after your death, the balance may be deducted by your 
Beneficiary.                                                                    

The IRS has not furnished explicit guidance as to how the excludable amount is  
to be determined each year under variable income annuities that permit          
transfers between a fixed annuity option and variable investment options, as    
well as transfers between investment options after the Annuity Starting Date.   
Once Annuity Payments have

commenced, you may not be able to make transfer withdrawals to another          
Non-Qualified Contract or a long-term care contract in a tax-free exchange.     

If you receive payments that you intend to qualify for the "substantially equal 
periodic payments" exception noted above, any modifications (except due to      
death or disability) to your payment before age 59 1/2 or within five years     
after beginning these payments, whichever is later, will result in the          
retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty with interest.     
Such modifications may include additional Purchase Payments or withdrawals      
(including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from the         
contract.                                                                       

If the contract allows, you may elect to convert less than the full value of    
your contract to an annuity form of pay-out (i.e., "partial annuitization"). In 
this case, your investment in the contract will be pro-rated between the        
annuitized portion of the contract and the deferred portion. An exclusion ratio 
will apply to the Annuity Payments as described above, provided the annuity     
form you elect is payable for at least 10 years or for the life of one or more  
individuals.                                                                    

3.8% TAX ON NET INVESTMENT INCOME                                               

Federal tax law imposes a 3.8% Medicare tax on the lesser of:                   

(1)  the taxpayer's "net investment income," (from non-qualified annuities,     
interest, dividends, and other investments, offset by specified       
allowable deductions), or                                             

(2)  the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income in excess of a specified     
 income threshold ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly, $125,000
for married couples filing separately, and $200,000 otherwise).       

"Net investment income" in Item 1 above does not include distributions from tax 
qualified plans, (i.e., arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a), 403(a), 
403(b), 408, 408A, or 457(b)), but such income will increase modified adjusted  
gross income in Item 2 above.                                                   

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the applicability of this tax to  
income under your annuity contract.                                             

PUERTO RICO TAX CONSIDERATIONS                                                  

The Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011 (the "2011 PR Code") taxes        
distributions from Non-Qualified Contracts differently than in the U.S.         

Distributions that are not in the form of an annuity (including partial         
surrenders and period certain payments) are treated under the 2011 PR Code      
first as a return of investment. Therefore, a substantial portion of the        
amounts distributed generally will be excluded from gross income for Puerto     
Rico tax purposes until the cumulative amount paid exceeds your tax basis.      

The amount of income on annuity distributions in annuity form (payable over     
your lifetime) is also calculated differently under the 2011 PR Code. Since the 
U.S. source income generated by a Puerto Rico bona fide resident is subject to  
U.S. income tax and the IRS issued guidance in 2004 which indicated that the    
income from an annuity contract issued by a U.S. life insurer would be          
considered U.S. source income, the timing of recognition of income from an      
annuity contract could vary between the two jurisdictions. Although the 2011 PR 
Code provides a credit against the Puerto Rico income tax for U.S. income taxes 
paid, an individual may not get full credit because of the timing differences.  
You should consult with a personal tax adviser regarding the tax consequences   
of purchasing an annuity contract and/or any proposed distribution,             
particularly a partial distribution or election to annuitize if you are a       
resident of Puerto Rico.                                                        

QUALIFIED CONTRACTS                                                             

INTRODUCTION                                                                    

The contract may be purchased through certain types of retirement plans that    
receive favorable treatment under the Code ("tax qualified plans").             
Tax-qualified plans include arrangements described in Code Sections 401(a),     
401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or tax sheltered annuities (TSA), 408 or "IRAs"          
(including SEP and SIMPLE IRAs), 408A or "Roth IRAs" or 457 (b) or 457(b)       
governmental plans. Extensive special tax rules apply to qualified plans and to 
the annuity contracts used in connection with these plans. Therefore, the       
following discussion provides only general information about the use of the     
contract with the various types of qualified plans. Adverse tax consequences    
may result if you do not ensure that contributions, distributions and other     
transactions with respect to the contract comply with the law.                  

The rights to any benefit under the plan will be subject to the terms and       
conditions of the plan itself as well as the terms and conditions of the        
contract.                                                                       

We exercise no control over whether a particular retirement plan or a           
particular contribution to the plan satisfies the

applicable requirements of the Code, or whether a particular individual is      
entitled to participate or benefit under a plan.                                

All qualified plans and arrangements receive tax deferral under the Code. Since 
there are no additional tax benefits in funding such retirement arrangements    
with an annuity, there should be reasons other than tax deferral for acquiring  
the annuity within the plan. Such non-tax benefits may include additional       
insurance benefits, such as the availability of a guaranteed income for life.   

A contract may also be available in connection with an employer's non-qualified 
deferred compensation plan and qualified governmental excess benefit            
arrangement to provide benefits to certain employees in the plan. The tax rules 
regarding these plans are complex. We do not provide tax advice. Please consult 
your tax adviser about your particular situation.                               

ACCUMULATION                                                                    

The tax rules applicable to qualified plans vary according to the type of plan  
and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. Both the amount of the         
contribution that may be made and the tax deduction or exclusion that you may   
claim for that contribution are limited under qualified plans. See the SAI for  
a description of qualified plan types and annual current contribution           
limitations, which are subject to change from year-to-year.                     

Purchase payments or contributions to IRAs or tax qualified retirement plans of 
an employer may be taken from current income on a before tax basis or after tax 
basis. Purchase payments made on a "before tax" basis entitle you to a tax      
deduction or are not subject to current income tax. Purchase payments made on   
an "after tax" basis do not reduce your taxable income or give you a tax        
deduction. Contributions may also consist of transfers or rollovers as          
described below which are not subject to the annual limitations on              
contributions.                                                                  

The contract will accept as a single Purchase Payment a transfer or rollover    
from another IRA or rollover from an eligible retirement plan of an employer    
(i.e., 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), or governmental 457(b) plan). It will    
also accept a rollover or transfer from a SIMPLE IRA after the taxpayer has     
participated in such arrangement for at least two years. As part of the single  
Purchase Payment, the IRA contract will also accept an IRA contribution subject 
to the Code limits for the year of purchase.                                    

For income annuities established as "pay-outs" of SIMPLE IRAs, the contract     
will only accept a single Purchase Payment consisting of a transfer or rollover 
from another SIMPLE IRA. For income annuities established in accordance with a  
distribution option under a retirement plan of an employer (e.g., 401(a),       
401(k), 403(a), 403(b), or 457(b) plan), the contract will only accept as its   
single Purchase Payment a transfer from such employer retirement plan.          

TAXATION OF ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS                                               

If contributions are made on a "before tax" basis, you generally pay income     
taxes on the full amount of money you withdraw as well as income earned under   
the contract. Withdrawals attributable to any after-tax contributions are your  
basis in the contract and not subject to income tax (except for the portion of  
the withdrawal allocable to earnings). Under current federal income tax rules,  
the taxable portion of distributions under annuity contracts and qualified      
plans (including IRAs) is not eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to   
long-term capital gains and qualifying dividends.                               

If you meet certain requirements, your Roth IRA, Roth 403(b) and Roth 401(k)    
earnings are free from federal income taxes.                                    

With respect to IRA contracts, we will withhold a portion of the taxable amount 
of your withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we  
withhold is determined by the Code.                                             

WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2                                                 

A taxable withdrawal or distribution from a qualified plan which is subject to  
income tax may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty for "early"  
distribution if taken prior to age 59 1/2, unless an exception described below  
applies. The penalty rate is 25% for SIMPLE plan contracts if the distribution  
occurs within the first 2 years of your participation in the plan.              

These exceptions include distributions made:                                    

(a)  on account of your death or disability, or                                 

(b)  as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments payable for   
 your life or joint lives of you and your designated Beneficiary and you
are separated from employment.

If you receive systematic payments that you intend to qualify for the           
"substantially equal periodic payments" exception noted above, any              
modifications (except due to death or disability) to your payment before age 59 
1/2 or within five years after beginning these payments, whichever is later,    
will result in the retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty 
with interest. Such modifications may include additional Purchase Payments or   
withdrawals (including tax-free transfers or rollovers of income payments) from 
the contract.                                                                   

In addition, a withdrawal or distribution from a Qualified Contract other than  
an IRA (including SEPs and SIMPLEs) will avoid the penalty if: (1) the          
distribution is on separation from employment after age 55; (2) the             
distribution is made pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO);   
(3) the distribution is to pay deductible medical expenses; or (4) if the       
distribution is to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999).           

The 10% federal income tax penalty on early distribution does not apply to      
governmental 457(b) plan contracts. However, it does apply to distributions     
from 457(b) plans of employers which are state or local governments to the      
extent that the distribution is attributable to rollovers accepted from other   
types of eligible retirement plans.                                             

In addition to death, disability and as part of a series of substantially equal 
periodic payments as indicated above, a withdrawal or distribution from an IRA  
(including SEPs and SIMPLEs and Roth IRAs) will avoid the penalty: (1) if the   
distribution is to pay deductible medical expenses; (2) if the distribution is  
to pay IRS levies (and made after December 31, 1999); (3) if the distribution   
is used to pay for medical insurance (if you are unemployed), qualified higher  
education expenses, or for a qualified first time home purchase up to $10,000.  
Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special      
rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above.     

COMMUTATION FEATURES UNDER INCOME PAYMENT TYPES                                 

Please be advised that the tax consequences resulting from the election of an   
income payment types containing a commutation feature (a feature that allows    
the Owner to receive a lump sum of the present value of future Annuity          
Payments) are uncertain and the IRS may determine that the taxable amount of    
income payments and withdrawals received for any year could be greater than or  
less than the taxable amount reported by us. The exercise of the commutation    
feature also may result in adverse tax consequences including:                  

o  The imposition of a 10% federal income tax penalty on the taxable amount of  
the commuted value, if the taxpayer has not attained age 59 1/2 at the    
time the withdrawal is made. This 10% federal income tax penalty is in    
addition to the ordinary income tax on the taxable amount of the commuted 
value.                                                                    

o  The retroactive imposition of the 10% federal income tax penalty on income   
payments received prior to the taxpayer attaining age 59 1/2.             

o  The possibility that the exercise of the commutation feature could adversely 
affect the amount excluded from federal income tax under any income       
payments made after such commutation.                                     

A payee should consult with his or her own tax adviser prior to electing to     
annuitize the contract and prior to exercising any commutation feature under an 
income payment type.                                                            

ROLLOVERS                                                                       

Your contract is non-forfeitable (i.e., not subject to the claims of your       
creditors) and non-transferable (i.e., you may not transfer it to someone       
else).                                                                          

Nevertheless, contracts held in certain employer plans subject to ERISA may be  
transferred in part pursuant to a QDRO.                                         

Under certain circumstances, you may be able to transfer amounts distributed    
from your contract to another eligible retirement plan or IRA. For 457(b) plans 
maintained by non-governmental employers, if certain conditions are met,        
amounts may be transferred into another 457(b) plan maintained by a             
non-governmental employer.                                                      

You may make rollovers and direct transfers into your SIMPLE IRA annuity        
contract from another SIMPLE IRA annuity contract or account. No other          
rollovers or transfers can be made to your SIMPLE IRA. Rollovers and direct     
transfers from a SIMPLE IRA can only be made to another SIMPLE IRA or account   
during the first two years that you participate in the SIMPLE IRA plan. After   
this two year

period, rollovers and transfers may be made from your SIMPLE IRA into a         
Traditional IRA or account, as well as into another SIMPLE IRA.                 

Generally, a distribution may be eligible for rollover. Certain types of        
distributions cannot be rolled over, such as distributions received on account  
of:                                                                             

(a)  minimum distribution requirements, or                                      

(b)  financial hardship.                                                        

20% WITHHOLDING ON ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTIONS                              

For certain qualified employer plans, we are required to withhold 20% of the    
taxable portion of your withdrawal that constitutes an "eligible rollover       
distribution" for federal income taxes. The amount we withhold is determined by 
the Code. You may avoid withholding if you assign or transfer a withdrawal from 
this contract directly into another qualified plan or IRA. Similarly, you may   
be able to avoid withholding on a transfer into this contract from an existing  
qualified plan you may have with another provider by arranging to have the      
transfer made directly to us. For taxable withdrawals that are not "eligible    
rollover distributions," the Code requires different withholding rules which    
determine the withholding amounts.                                              

DEATH BENEFITS                                                                  

The death benefit is taxable to the recipient in the same manner as if paid to  
the contract Owner or plan participant (under the rules for withdrawals or      
income payments, whichever is applicable).                                      

Distributions required from a Qualified Contract following your death depend on 
whether you die before you had converted your contract to an annuity form and   
started taking Annuity Payments (your Annuity Starting Date). If you die on or  
after your Annuity Starting Date, the remaining portion of the interest in the  
contract must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of         
distribution being used as of the date of death. If you die before your Annuity 
Starting Date, the entire interest in the contract must be distributed within   
five (5) years after the date of death, or as periodic payments over a period   
not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary  
(provided such payments begin within one year of your death). Your designated   
Beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under the contract pass by     
reason of death; the Beneficiary must be a natural person in order to elect a   
periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a period exceeding five     
years. For required minimum distributions following the death of the Annuitant  
of a Qualified Contract, the five-year rule is applied without regard to        
calendar year 2009. For instance, for a contract Owner who died in 2007, the    
five-year period would end in 2013 instead of 2012. The required minimum        
distribution rules are complex, so consult your tax adviser because the         
application of these rules to your particular circumstances may have been       
impacted by the 2009 required minimum distribution waiver.                      

Additionally, if the annuity is payable to (or for the benefit of) your         
surviving spouse, that portion of the contract may be continued with your       
spouse as the Owner. If your spouse is your Beneficiary, and your contract      
permits, your spouse may delay the start of these payments until December 31 of 
the year in which you would have reached age 70 1/2.                            

If your spouse is your Beneficiary, your spouse may be able to rollover the     
death proceeds into another eligible retirement plan in which he or she         
participates, if permitted under the receiving plan. Alternatively, if your     
spouse is your sole Beneficiary, he or she may elect to rollover the death      
proceeds into his or her own IRA.                                               

If your Beneficiary is not your spouse and your plan and contract permit, your  
Beneficiary may be able to rollover the death proceeds via a direct             
trustee-to-trustee transfer into an inherited IRA. However, a non-spouse        
Beneficiary may not treat the inherited IRA as his or her own IRA.              

Additionally, for contracts issued in connection with qualified plans subject   
to ERISA, the spouse or ex-spouse of the Owner may have rights in the contract. 
In such a case, the Owner may need the consent of the spouse or ex-spouse to    
change annuity options or make a withdrawal from the contract.                  

REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS                                                  

Generally, you must begin receiving retirement plan withdrawals by April 1      
following the latter of:                                                        

(a)  the calendar year in which you reach age 70 1/2, or                        

(b)  the calendar year you retire, provided you do not own more than 5% of      
your employer.

For IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs), you must begin receiving withdrawals by  
April 1 of the year after you reach age 70 1/2 even if you have not retired.    

A tax penalty of 50% applies to the amount by which the required minimum        
distribution exceeds the actual distribution.                                   

You may not satisfy minimum distributions for one employer's qualified plan     
(i.e., 401(a), 403(a), 457(b)) with distributions from another qualified plan   
of the same or a different employer. However, an aggregation rule does apply in 
the case of IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLEs) or 403(b) plans. The minimum      
required distribution is calculated with respect to each IRA, but the aggregate 
distribution may be taken from any one or more of your IRAs/SEPs. Similarly,    
the amount of required minimum distribution is calculated separately with       
respect to each 403(b) arrangement, but the aggregate amount of the required    
distribution may be taken from any one or more of your 403(b) plan contracts.   
For SIMPLE IRAs, the aggregate amount of the required distribution may be taken 
from any one or more of your SIMPLE IRAs.                                       

Complex rules apply to the calculation of these withdrawals. In general, income 
tax regulations permit income payments to increase based not only with respect  
to the investment experience of the Investment Portfolios but also with respect 
to actuarial gains.                                                             

The regulations also require that the value of benefits under a deferred        
annuity including certain death benefits in excess of contract value must be    
added to the amount credited to your account in computing the amount required   
to be distributed over the applicable period. We will provide you with          
additional information regarding the amount that is subject to minimum          
distribution under this rule. You should consult your own tax adviser as to how 
these rules affect your own distribution under this rule.                       

If you intend to receive your minimum distributions which are payable over the  
joint lives of you and a Beneficiary who is not your spouse (or over a period   
not exceeding the joint life expectancy of you and your non-spousal             
Beneficiary), be advised that federal tax rules may require that payments be    
made over a shorter period or may require that payments to the Beneficiary be   
reduced after your death to meet the minimum distribution incidental benefit    
rules and avoid the 50% excise tax. You should consult your own tax adviser as  
to how these rules affect your own contract.                                    

Required minimum distribution rules that apply to other types of IRAs while you 
are alive do not apply to Roth IRAs. However, in general, the same rules with   
respect to minimum distributions required to be made to a Beneficiary after     
your death under other IRAs do apply to Roth IRAs.                              

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING IRAS                                           

PURCHASE PAYMENTS. Traditional IRA Purchase Payments (except for permissible    
rollovers and direct transfers) are generally not permitted after you attain    
age 70 1/2. Except for permissible rollovers and direct transfers, Purchase     
Payments for individuals are limited in the aggregate to the lesser of 100% of  
compensation or the deductible amount established each year under the Code. A   
Purchase Payment up to the deductible amount can also be made for a non-working 
spouse provided the couple's compensation is at least equal to their aggregate  
contributions. Individuals age 50 and older are permitted to make additional    
"catch-up" contributions if they have sufficient compensation. If you or your   
spouse are an active participant in a retirement plan of an employer, your      
deductible contributions may be limited. If you exceed Purchase Payment limits  
you may be subject to a tax penalty.                                            

Roth IRA Purchase Payments for individuals are non-deductible (made on an       
"after tax" basis) and are limited to the lesser of 100% of compensation or the 
annual deductible IRA amount. Individuals age 50 and older can make an          
additional "catch-up" Purchase Payment each year (assuming the individual has   
sufficient compensation). You may contribute up to the annual Purchase Payment  
limit if your modified adjusted gross income does not exceed certain limits.    
You can contribute to a Roth IRA after age 70 1/2. If you exceed Purchase       
Payment limits, you may be subject to a tax penalty.                            

WITHDRAWALS. If and to the extent that Traditional IRA Purchase Payments are    
made on an "after tax" basis, withdrawals would be included in income except    
for the portion that represents a return of non-deductible Purchase Payments.   
This portion is generally determined based upon the ratio of all non-deductible 
Purchase Payments to the total value of all your Traditional IRAs (including    
SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs). We withhold a portion of the amount of your          
withdrawal for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount we withhold 
is determined by the Code.

Generally, withdrawal of earnings from Roth IRAs are free from federal income   
tax if: (1) they are made at least five taxable years after your first Purchase 
Payment to a Roth IRA; and (2) they are made on or after the date you reach age 
59 1/2 and upon your death, disability or qualified first-home purchase (up to  
$10,000). Withdrawals from a Roth IRA are made first from Purchase Payments and 
then from earnings. We may be required to withhold a portion of your withdrawal 
for income taxes, unless you elect otherwise. The amount will be determined by  
the Code.                                                                       

CONVERSION. Traditional IRAs may be converted to Roth IRAs. Except to the       
extent you have non-deductible contributions, the amount converted from an      
existing Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA is taxable. Generally, the 10% federal 
income tax penalty does not apply. However, the taxable amount to be converted  
must be based on the fair market value of the entire annuity contract being     
converted into a Roth IRA. Such fair market value, in general, is to be         
determined by taking into account the value of all benefits in addition to the  
Account Value; as well as adding back certain loads and charges incurred during 
the prior twelve month period. Your contract may include such benefits and      
applicable charges. Accordingly, if you are considering such conversion of your 
annuity contract, please consult your tax adviser. The taxable amount may       
exceed the Account Value at the date of conversion.                             

A Roth IRA contract may also be re-characterized as a Traditional IRA, if       
certain conditions are met. Please consult your tax adviser.                    

DISTINCTION FOR PUERTO RICO CODE                                                

An annuity contract may be purchased by an employer for an employee under a     
qualified pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, annuity, or a "cash or          
deferred" arrangement plan established pursuant to Section 1081.01 of the 2011  
PR Code. To be tax qualified under the 2011 PR Code, a plan must comply with    
the requirements of Section 1081.01(a) of the 2011 PR Code which includes       
certain participation requirements, among other requirements. A trust created   
to hold assets for a qualified plan is exempt from tax on its investment        
income.                                                                         

CONTRIBUTIONS. The employer is entitled to a current income tax deduction for   
contributions made to a qualified plan, subject to statutory limitations on the 
amount that may be contributed each year. The plan contributions by the         
employer are not required to be included in the current income of the employee. 

DISTRIBUTIONS. Any amount received or made available to the employee under the  
qualified plan is includible in the gross income of the employee in the taxable 
year in which received or made available. In such case, the amount paid or      
contributed by the employer shall not constitute consideration paid by the      
employee for the contract for purposes of determining the amount of Annuity     
Payments required to be included in the employee's gross income. Thus, amounts  
actually distributed or made available to any employee under the qualified plan 
will be included in their entirety in the employee's gross income. Lump-sum     
proceeds from a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan due to separation from    
service will generally be taxed at a 20% capital gain tax rate to be withheld   
at the source. A special rate of 10% may apply instead, if the plan satisfies   
the following requirements:                                                     

(1)  the plan's trust is organized under the laws of Puerto Rico, or has a      
 Puerto Rico resident trustee and uses such trustee as paying agent; and

(2)  10% of all plan's trust assets (calculated based on the average balance    
of the investments of the trust) attributable to participants who are 
Puerto Rico residents must be invested in "property located in Puerto 
Rico" for a three-year period.                                        

If these two requirements are not satisfied, the distribution will generally be 
subject to the 20% tax rate. The three-year period includes the year of the     
distribution and the two immediately preceding years. In the case of a defined  
contribution plan that maintains separate accounts for each participant, the    
described 10% investment requirement may be satisfied in the accounts of a      
participant that chooses to invest in such fashion rather than at the trust     
level. Property located in Puerto Rico includes shares of stock of a Puerto     
Rico registered investment company, fixed or variable annuities issued by a     
domestic insurance company or by a foreign insurance corporation that derives   
more than 80% of its gross income from sources within Puerto Rico, and bank     
deposits. The PR 2011 Code does not impose a penalty tax in cases of early      
(premature) distributions from a qualified plan.                                

ROLLOVER. Deferral of the recognition of income continues upon the receipt of a 
distribution by a participant from a qualified plan, if the distribution is     
contributed to another qualified retirement plan or traditional individual      
retirement account for the employee's benefit no later than sixty (60) days     
after the distribution.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS. In the context of a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan 
trust, the IRS has recently held that the transfer of assets and liabilities    
from a qualified retirement plan trust under the Code to that type of plan      
would generally be treated as a distribution includible in gross income for     
U.S. income tax purposes even if the Puerto Rico retirement plan is a plan      
described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1). By contrast, a transfer from a qualified 
retirement plan trust under the Code to a Puerto Rico qualified retirement plan 
trust that has made an election under ERISA Section 1022(i)(2) is not treated   
as a distribution from the transferor plan for U.S. income tax purposes because 
a Puerto Rico retirement plan that has made an election under ERISA Section     
1022(i)(2) is treated as a qualified retirement plan for purposes Code Section  
401(a). The IRS has determined that the above described rules prescribing the   
inclusion in income of transfers of assets and liabilities to a Puerto Rico     
retirement plan trust described in ERISA Section 1022(i)(1) would be applicable 
to transfers taking effect after December 31, 2012.                             

Similar to the IRS in Revenue Ruling 2013-17, the U.S. Department of Labor      
issued DOL Technical Release No. 2013-04 on September 18, 2013, providing that, 
where the Secretary of Labor has authority to regulate with respect to the      
provisions of ERISA dealing with the use of the term "spouse," spouse will be   
read to refer to any individuals who are lawfully married under any state law,  
including same-sex spouses, and without regard to whether their state of        
domicile recognizes same-sex marriage. Thus, for ERISA purposes as well as      
Federal tax purposes, an employee benefit plan participant who marries a person 
of the same sex in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage will        
continue to be treated as married even if the couple moves to a jurisdiction,   
like Puerto Rico, that does not recognize same-sex marriage.                    

10. OTHER INFORMATION                                                           

METLIFE USA                                                                     

MetLife Insurance Company USA is a stock life insurance company originally      
chartered in Connecticut in 1863 and currently subject to the laws of the State 
of Delaware. MetLife USA was previously known as MetLife Insurance Company of   
Connecticut but changed its name to MetLife Insurance Company USA when it       
changed its state of domicile from Connecticut to Delaware on November 14,      
2014. MetLife USA is licensed to conduct business in all states of the United   
States, except New York, and in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam,    
the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. The company is a           
wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., a publicly-traded company. MetLife,   
Inc., through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading provider of         
insurance and financial services to individuals and institutional customers.    
The company's executive offices are located at 11225 North Community House      
Road, Charlotte, NC 28277.                                                      

Prior to November 17, 2014, the contract was issued by MetLife Investors USA    
Insurance Company (MetLife Investors). On November, 14, 2014, following the     
close of business MetLife Investors merged into MetLife USA and MetLife USA     
replaced MetLife Investors as the issuer of the contract.                       

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT                                                            

We have established a SEPARATE ACCOUNT, MetLife Investors USA Separate Account  
A (Separate Account), to hold the assets that underlie the contracts. The Board 
of Directors of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (MetLife Investors)     
adopted a resolution to establish the Separate Account under Delaware insurance 
law on May 29, 1980. On November 14, 2014, following the close of business      
MetLife Investors merged into MetLife USA and the Separate Account became a     
separate account of MetLife USA. We have registered the Separate Account with   
the Securities and Exchange Commission as a unit investment trust under the     
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Separate Account is divided into            
subaccounts.                                                                    

The Separate Account's assets are solely for the benefit of those who invest in 
the Separate Account and no one else, including our creditors. The assets of    
the Separate Account are held in our name on behalf of the Separate Account and 
legally belong to us. All the income, gains and losses (realized or unrealized) 
resulting from these assets are credited to or charged against the contracts    
issued from this Separate Account without regard to our other business.         

We reserve the right to transfer assets of the Separate Account to another      
account, and to modify the structure or operation of the Separate Account,      
subject to necessary regulatory approvals. If we do so, we will notify you of   
any such changes and we guarantee that the modification will not affect your    
Account Value.                                                                  

We are obligated to pay all money we owe under the contracts - such as death    
benefits and income payments - even if that amount exceeds the assets in the    
Separate Account. Any such amount that exceeds the assets in the

Separate Account is paid from our general account. Any amount under any         
optional death benefit or optional Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit that exceeds   
the assets in the Separate Account is also paid from our general account.       
Benefit amounts paid from the general account are subject to our financial      
strength and claims paying ability and our long term ability to make such       
payments. We issue other annuity contracts and life insurance policies where we 
pay all money we owe under those contracts and policies from our general        
account. MetLife USA is regulated as an insurance company under state law,      
which generally includes limits on the amount and type of investments in our    
general account. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet    
our claims paying obligations; there are risks to purchasing any insurance      
product.                                                                        

The investment advisers to certain of the Investment Portfolios offered with    
the contracts or with other variable annuity contracts issued through the       
Separate Account may be regulated as Commodity Pool Operators. While it does    
not concede that the Separate Account is a commodity pool, MetLife USA has      
claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator"  
under the Commodities Exchange Act (CEA), and is not subject to registration or 
regulation as a pool operator under the CEA.                                    

DISTRIBUTOR                                                                     

We have entered into a distribution agreement with our affiliate, MetLife       
Investors Distribution Company (Distributor), 1095 Avenue of the Americas, New  
York, NY 10036, for the distribution of the contracts. Distributor is a member  
of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA provides          
background information about broker-dealers and their registered                
representatives through FINRA BrokerCheck. You may contact the FINRA            
BrokerCheck Hotline at 1-800-289-9999, or log on to www.finra.org. An investor  
brochure that includes information describing FINRA BrokerCheck is available    
through the Hotline or on-line.                                                 

Distributor, and in certain cases, we, have entered into selling agreements     
with other affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms for the sale of the        
contracts. We pay compensation to Distributor for sales of the contracts by     
selling firms. We also pay amounts to Distributor that may be used for its      
operating and other expenses, including the following sales expenses:           
compensation and bonuses for the Distributor's management team, advertising     
expenses, and other expenses of distributing the contracts. Distributor's       
management team and registered representatives also may be eligible for         
non-cash compensation items that we may provide jointly with Distributor.       
Non-cash items include conferences, seminars and trips (including travel,       
lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and      
other similar items.                                                            

All of the Investment Portfolios make payments to Distributor under their       
distribution plans in consideration of services provided and expenses incurred  
by Distributor in distributing shares of the Investment Portfolios. (See the    
Investment Portfolio prospectuses for more information.) These payments range   
from 0.15% to 0.55% of Separate Account assets invested in the particular       
Investment Portfolio.                                                           

We pay American Funds Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the         
American Funds Insurance Series, a percentage of Purchase Payments allocated to 
the following portfolios for the services it provides in marketing the          
portfolios' shares in connection with the contract: the American Funds Global   
Small Capitalization Fund, the American Funds (Reg. TM) Growth Portfolio, the   
American Funds (Reg. TM) Moderate Allocation Portfolio, the American Funds      
(Reg. TM) Balanced Allocation Portfolio, and the American Funds (Reg. TM)       
Growth Allocation Portfolio.                                                    

SELLING FIRMS                                                                   

As noted above, Distributor, and in certain cases, we, have entered into        
selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms for the sale  
of the contracts. Affiliated selling firms include MetLife Securities, Inc.     
(MetLife Securities) and New England Securities Corporation. All selling firms  
receive commissions, and they may also receive some form of non-cash            
compensation. Certain selected selling firms receive additional compensation    
(described below under "Additional Compensation for Selected Selling Firms").   
These commissions and other incentives or payments are not charged directly to  
contract Owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup commissions and    
other sales expenses through fees and charges deducted under the contract or    
from our general account. A portion of the payments made to selling firms may   
be passed on to their sales representatives in accordance with the selling      
firms' internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other    
types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Registered          
representatives of the selling firms may also receive non-cash compensation,    
pursuant to their firm's guidelines, directly from us or Distributor.

COMPENSATION PAID TO SELLING FIRMS. We and Distributor pay compensation to all  
affiliated and unaffiliated selling firms in the form of commissions and may    
also provide certain types of non-cash compensation. The maximum commission     
payable for contract sales and additional Purchase Payments by selling firms is 
5.25% of Purchase Payments. Some selling firms may elect to receive a lower     
commission when a Purchase Payment is made, along with annual trail commissions 
beginning in year two up to 1.00% of Account Value (less Purchase Payments      
received within the previous 12 months) for so long as the contract remains in  
effect or as agreed in the selling agreement. We also pay commissions when a    
contract Owner elects to begin receiving regular income payments (referred to   
as "Annuity Payments"). (See "Annuity Payments - The Income Phase.")            
Distributor may also provide non-cash compensation items that we may provide    
jointly with Distributor. Non-cash items may include expenses for conference or 
seminar trips, certain gifts, prizes, and awards. With respect to the           
contracts, the compensation paid to affiliated selling firms is generally not   
expected to exceed, on a present value basis, the aggregate amount of           
compensation that is paid by Distributor to all other selling firms as noted    
above.                                                                          

SALES BY OUR AFFILIATES. As previously noted, we and Distributor may offer the  
contracts through retail selling firms that are affiliates of ours. The amount  
of compensation the affiliated selling firms pass on to their sales             
representatives is determined in accordance with their own internal             
compensation programs. These programs may also include other types of cash      
compensation, such as bonuses, equity awards (such as stock options), training  
allowances, supplementary salary, financing arrangements, marketing support,    
medical and other insurance benefits, retirement benefits, non-qualified        
deferred compensation plans and other benefits. Sales representatives of our    
affiliates must meet a minimum level of sales production in order to maintain   
their agent status with us. Sales representatives can meet the minimum level of 
sales production through sales of proprietary and/or non-proprietary products.  
(Proprietary products are those issued by us or our affiliates.) However, sales 
representatives can meet a lower alternative minimum level of sales production  
if the sales representative focuses on sales of proprietary products.           
Therefore, a sales representative may have an incentive to favor the sale of    
proprietary products. Moreover, because the managers who supervise the          
representatives receive a higher level of compensation based on sales of        
proprietary products, these sales managers have an incentive to promote the     
sale of proprietary products.                                                   

Sales representatives of our affiliates receive cash payments for the products  
they sell and service based upon a "gross dealer concession" model. Gross       
dealer concession may also be credited when the contract is annuitized. The     
amount of gross dealer concession credited upon annuitization depends on        
several factors, including the number of years the contract has been in force.  

Sales representatives of our affiliates are entitled to part or all of the      
gross dealer concession. The percentage to which a representative is entitled   
is determined by a sliding-scale formula that takes into account the total      
amount of proprietary and non-proprietary products sold and serviced by the     
representative.                                                                 

Sales representatives of our affiliates and their managers may be eligible for  
additional cash compensation, such as bonuses and expense allowances (that may  
be tied to sales of specific products), equity awards (such as stock options),  
training allowances, supplemental compensation, product level add-ons           
controlled at the local and company levels, financing arrangements, special     
loan repayment options, marketing support, medical and other insurance          
benefits, and retirement benefits and other benefits. Since some of this        
additional compensation, in particular, life insurance, disability and          
retirement benefits, is based primarily on the amount of proprietary products   
sold, sales representatives and their managers have an incentive to favor the   
sale of proprietary products. Sales representatives who meet certain            
productivity, persistency, and length of service standards and/or their         
managers may be eligible for additional cash compensation. Moreover, managers   
may be eligible for additional cash compensation based on the sales production  
of the sales representatives that the manager supervises. The business unit     
responsible for the operation of our distribution system is also eligible to    
receive an amount of compensation.                                              

Ask your registered representative for further information about what payments  
your registered representative and the selling firm for which he or she works   
may receive in connection with your purchase of a contract.                     

ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FOR SELECTED SELLING FIRMS. We and Distributor have     
entered into distribution arrangements with certain selected selling firms.     
Under these arrangements we and Distributor may pay additional compensation to  
selected selling firms, including marketing allowances, introduction fees,      
persistency payments,

preferred status fees and industry conference fees. Marketing allowances are    
periodic payments to certain selling firms, the amount of which depends on      
cumulative periodic (usually quarterly) sales of our insurance contracts        
(including the contracts offered by this prospectus) and may also depend on     
meeting thresholds in the sale of certain of our insurance contracts (other     
than the contracts offered by this prospectus). They may also include payments  
we make to cover the cost of marketing or other support services provided for   
or by registered representatives who may sell our products. Introduction fees   
are payments to selling firms in connection with the addition of our products   
to the selling firm's line of investment products, including expenses relating  
to establishing the data communications systems necessary for the selling firm  
to offer, sell and administer our products. Persistency payments are periodic   
payments based on Account Values of our variable insurance contracts (including 
Account Values of the contracts) or other persistency standards. Preferred      
status fees are paid to obtain preferred treatment of the contracts in selling  
firms' marketing programs, which may include marketing services, participation  
in marketing meetings, listings in data resources and increased access to their 
sales representatives. Industry conference fees are amounts paid to cover in    
part the costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for   
selling firms' sales representatives. We and Distributor have entered into such 
distribution agreements with the unaffiliated selling firms identified in the   
Statement of Additional Information. We and Distributor may enter into similar  
arrangements with affiliated selling firms, such as MetLife Securities and New  
England Securities Corporation.                                                 

The additional types of compensation discussed above are not offered to all     
selling firms. The terms of any particular agreement governing compensation may 
vary among selling firms and the amounts may be significant. The prospect of    
receiving, or the receipt of, additional compensation as described above may    
provide selling firms and/or their sales representatives with an incentive to   
favor sales of the contracts over other variable annuity contracts (or other    
investments) with respect to which selling firm does not receive additional     
compensation, or lower levels of additional compensation. You may wish to take  
such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any      
recommendation relating to the contracts. For more information about any such   
additional compensation arrangements, ask your registered representative. (See  
the Statement of Additional Information - "Distribution" for a list of selling  
firms that received compensation during 2013, as well as the range of           
additional compensation paid.)                                                  

REQUESTS AND ELECTIONS                                                          

We will treat your request for a contract transaction, or your submission of a  
Purchase Payment, as received by us if we receive a request conforming to our   
administrative procedures or a payment at our Annuity Service Center before the 
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. We will    
treat your submission of a Purchase Payment as received by us if we receive a   
payment at our Annuity Service Center (or a designee receives a payment in      
accordance with the designee's administrative procedures) before the close of   
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day. If we receive the   
request, or if we (or our designee) receive the payment, after the close of     
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day, or if the New York Stock    
Exchange is not open that day, then the request or payment will be treated as   
received on the next day when the New York Stock Exchange is open. Our Annuity  
Service Center is located at P.O. Box 10366, Des Moines, IA 50306-0366. If you  
send your Purchase Payments or transaction requests to an address other than    
the one we have designated for receipt of such Purchase Payments or requests,   
we may return the Purchase Payment to you, or there may be a delay in applying  
the Purchase Payment or transaction to your contract.                           

Requests for service may be made:                                               

o  Through your registered representative                                       

o  By telephone at (800) 343-8496, between the hours of 7:30AM and 5:30PM       
Central Time Monday through Thursday and 7:30AM and 5:00PM Central Time on
Friday                                                                    

o  In writing to our Annuity Service Center                                     

o  By fax at (515) 457-4400 or                                                  

o  By Internet at www.metlifeinvestors.com                                      

Some of the requests for service that may be made by telephone or Internet      
include transfers of Account Value (see "Investment Options - Transfers -       
Transfers By Telephone or Other Means") and changes to the allocation of future 
Purchase Payments (see "Purchase - Allocation of Purchase Payments"). We may    
from time to time permit requests for other types of transactions to be made by 
telephone or Internet. All transaction requests must be in Good Order. Contact  
us for further information. Some

selling firms may restrict the ability of their registered representatives to   
convey transaction requests by telephone or Internet on your behalf.            

We will use reasonable procedures such as requiring certain identifying         
information, tape recording the telephone instructions, and providing written   
confirmation of the transaction, in order to confirm that instructions          
communicated by telephone, fax, Internet or other means are genuine. Any        
telephone, fax or Internet instructions reasonably believed by us to be genuine 
will be your responsibility, including losses arising from any errors in the    
communication of instructions. As a result of this policy, you will bear the    
risk of loss. If we do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that         
instructions communicated by telephone, fax or Internet are genuine, we may be  
liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. All other 
requests and elections under your contract must be in writing signed by the     
proper party, must include any necessary documentation and must be received at  
our Annuity Service Center to be effective. If acceptable to us, requests or    
elections relating to Beneficiaries and Ownership will take effect as of the    
date signed unless we have already acted in reliance on the prior status. We    
are not responsible for the validity of any written request or action.          

GOOD ORDER. A request or transaction generally is considered in GOOD ORDER if   
it complies with our administrative procedures and the required information is  
complete and accurate. A request or transaction may be rejected or delayed if   
not in Good Order. Good Order generally means the actual receipt by us of the   
instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when         
permitted, by telephone or Internet as described above) along with all forms,   
information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the          
transaction. This information and documentation generally includes to the       
extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; your contract 
number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and  
allocations to and/or from the Investment Portfolios affected by the requested  
transaction; the signatures of all contract Owners (exactly as indicated on the 
contract), if necessary; Social Security Number or Tax I.D.; and any other      
information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any      
spousal or Joint Owner's consents. With respect to Purchase Payments, Good      
Order also generally includes receipt by us of sufficient funds to effect the   
purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular      
transaction request is in Good Order, and we reserve the right to change or     
waive any Good Order requirement at any time. If you have any questions, you    
should contact us or your registered representative before submitting the form  
or request.                                                                     

TELEPHONE AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS. Telephone and computer systems may not always   
be available. Any telephone or computer system, whether it is yours, your       
service provider's, your agent's, or ours, can experience outages or slowdowns  
for a variety of reasons. These outages or slowdowns may delay or prevent our   
processing of your request. Although we have taken precautions to help our      
systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all      
circumstances. If you experience technical difficulties or problems, you should 
make your transaction request in writing to our Annuity Service Center.         

CONFIRMING TRANSACTIONS. We will send out written statements confirming that a  
transaction was recently completed. Unless you inform us of any errors within   
60 days of receipt, we will consider these communications to be accurate and    
complete.                                                                       

OWNERSHIP                                                                       

OWNER. You, as the OWNER of the contract, have all the interest and rights      
under the contract.                                                             

These rights include the right to:                                              

o  change the Beneficiary.                                                      

o  change the Annuitant before the Annuity Date (subject to our underwriting    
and administrative rules).                                                

o  assign the contract (subject to limitation).                                 

o  change the payment option.                                                   

o  exercise all other rights, benefits, options and privileges allowed by the   
contract or us.                                                           

The Owner is as designated at the time the contract is issued, unless changed.  
Any change of Owner is subject to our underwriting rules in effect at the time  
of the request.                                                                 

JOINT OWNER. The contract can be owned by JOINT OWNERS, limited to two natural  
persons. Upon the death of either Owner, the surviving Owner will be the        
primary

Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated as a contingent  
Beneficiary unless otherwise indicated.                                         

BENEFICIARY. The BENEFICIARY is the person(s) or entity you name to receive any 
death benefit. The Beneficiary is named at the time the contract is issued      
unless changed at a later date. Unless an irrevocable Beneficiary has been      
named, you can change the Beneficiary at any time before you die. If Joint      
Owners are named, unless you tell us otherwise, the surviving Joint Owner will  
be the primary Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation will be treated   
as a contingent Beneficiary (unless you tell us otherwise).                     

ABANDONED PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS. Every state has unclaimed property laws which  
generally declare non-ERISA annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of 
inactivity of three to five years from the contract's maturity date or the date 
the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death    
benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, we are still       
unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, or the Beneficiary does  
not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death       
benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property   
office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Owner last resided, as      
shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. (Escheatment is    
the formal, legal name for this process.) However, the state is obligated to    
pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to   
claim it with the proper documentation. To prevent your contract's proceeds     
from being paid to the state's abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is    
important that you update your Beneficiary designations, including addresses,   
if and as they change. Please call (800) 343-8496 to make such changes.         

ANNUITANT. The ANNUITANT is the natural person(s) on whose life we base Annuity 
Payments. You can change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Annuity Date,   
unless an Owner is not a natural person. Any reference to Annuitant includes    
any joint Annuitant under an Annuity Option. The Owner and the Annuitant do not 
have to be the same person except as required under certain sections of the     
Internal Revenue Code.                                                          

ASSIGNMENT. You can assign a Non-Qualified Contract at any time during your     
lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until the written notice of    
the assignment is recorded by us. We will not be liable for any payment or      
other action we take in accordance with the contract before we record the       
assignment. AN ASSIGNMENT MAY BE A TAXABLE EVENT.                               

If the contract is issued pursuant to a qualified plan, there may be            
limitations on your ability to assign the contract.                             

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS                                                               

In the ordinary course of business, MetLife USA, similar to other life          
insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits (including class action lawsuits), 
arbitrations and other legal proceedings. Also, from time to time, state and    
federal regulators or other officials conduct formal and informal examinations  
or undertake other actions dealing with various aspects of the financial        
services and insurance industries. In some legal proceedings involving          
insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement       
payments have been made.                                                        

It is not possible to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of any        
pending legal proceeding or regulatory action. However, MetLife USA does not    
believe any such action or proceeding will have a material adverse effect upon  
the Separate Account or upon the ability of MetLife Investors Distribution      
Company to perform its contract with the Separate Account or of MetLife USA to  
meet its obligations under the contracts.

DEATH BENEFIT EXAMPLE                                                           

The purpose of these examples is to illustrate the operation of the optional    
Return of Premium death benefit. The investment results shown are hypothetical  
and are not representative of past or future performance. Actual investment     
results may be more or less than those shown and will depend upon a number of   
factors, including the investment allocation made by a contract Owner and the   
investment experience of the Investment Portfolios chosen. THE EXAMPLES DO NOT  
REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF FEES AND EXPENSES, WITHDRAWAL CHARGES (NOT APPLICABLE  
IF YOU SELECTED THE C SHARE OPTION) OR INCOME TAXES AND TAX PENALTIES.          

RETURN OF PREMIUM DEATH BENEFIT                                                 

The purpose of this example is to show how partial withdrawals reduce the       
Return of Premium death benefit proportionately by the percentage reduction in  
Account Value attributable to each partial withdrawal.

Distributor passes through commissions to selling firms for their sales. In     
addition we pay compensation to Distributor to offset its expenses, including   
compensation costs, marketing and distribution expenses, advertising,           
wholesaling, printing, and other expenses of distributing the contracts.        

As noted in the prospectus, we and Distributor pay compensation to all selling  
firms in the form of commissions and certain types of non-cash compensation. We 
and Distributor may pay additional compensation to selected firms, including    
marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency payments, preferred status 
fees and industry conference fees. The terms of any particular agreement        
governing compensation may vary among selling firms and the amounts may be      
significant.                                                                    

In view of the fact that the contracts are newly offered, no commissions were   
paid in connection with the contracts.                                          

REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF THE WITHDRAWAL CHARGE                               

The amount of the withdrawal charge on the Investment Portfolio Architect       
contracts may be reduced or eliminated when sales of the contracts are made to  
individuals or to a group of individuals in a manner that results in savings of 
sales expenses. The entitlement to reduction of the withdrawal charge will be   
determined by the Company after examination of all the relevant factors such    
as:                                                                             

1.   The size and type of group to which sales are to be made will be           
    considered. Generally, the sales expenses for a larger group are less than
  for a smaller group because of the ability to implement large numbers of
contracts with fewer sales contacts.                                  

2.   The total amount of Purchase Payments to be received will be considered.   
Per contract sales expenses are likely to be less on larger Purchase  
Payments than on smaller ones.                                        

3.   Any prior or existing relationship with the Company will be considered.    
 Per contract sales expenses are likely to be less when there is a prior
existing relationship because of the likelihood of implementing the   
contract with fewer sales contacts.                                   

4.   There may be other circumstances, of which the Company is not presently    
aware, which could result in reduced sales expenses.                  

If, after consideration of the foregoing factors, the Company determines that   
there will be a reduction in sales expenses, the Company may provide for a      
reduction or elimination of the withdrawal charge.                              

The withdrawal charge may be eliminated when the contracts are issued to an     
officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. In no    
event will any reduction or elimination of the withdrawal charge be permitted   
where the reduction or elimination will be unfairly discriminatory to any       
person. In lieu of a

CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION                                          

TOTAL RETURN                                                                    

From time to time, the Company may advertise performance data. Such data will   
show the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit based on the    
performance of an Investment Portfolio over a period of time, usually a         
calendar year, determined by dividing the increase (decrease) in value for that 
unit by the Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the period.             

Any such advertisement will include total return figures for the time periods   
indicated in the advertisement. Such total return figures will reflect the      
deduction of the Separate Account product charges (including certain death      
benefit rider charges), the expenses for the underlying Investment Portfolio    
being advertised, and any applicable account fee or withdrawal charge. Premium  
taxes are not reflected. The deduction of such charges would reduce any         
percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.                    

The hypothetical value of a contract purchased for the time periods described   
in the advertisement will be determined by using the actual Accumulation Unit   
values for an initial $1,000 Purchase Payment, and deducting any applicable     
account fee and any applicable sales charge to arrive at the ending             
hypothetical value. The average annual total return is then determined by       
computing the fixed interest rate that a $1,000 Purchase Payment would have to  
earn annually, compounded annually, to grow to the hypothetical value at the    
end of the time periods described. The formula used in these calculations is:   

P (1 + T)n = ERV                                                            

Where:                                                                          

P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000                                

T = average annual total return                                             

n = number of years                                                         

ERV =  ending redeemable value at the end of the time periods used (or      
      fractional portion thereof) of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods used.            

The Company may also advertise performance data which will be calculated in the 
same manner as described above but which will not reflect the deduction of a    
withdrawal charge. Premium taxes are not reflected. The deduction of such       
charges would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage     
decrease.                                                                       

Owners should note that the investment results of each Investment Portfolio     
will fluctuate over time, and any presentation of the Investment Portfolio's    
total return for any period should not be considered as a representation of     
what an investment may earn or what the total return may be in any future       
period.                                                                         

HISTORICAL UNIT VALUES                                                          

The Company may also show historical Accumulation Unit values in certain        
advertisements containing illustrations. These illustrations will be based on   
actual Accumulation Unit values.                                                

In addition, the Company may distribute sales literature which compares the     
percentage change in Accumulation Unit values for any of the against            
established market indices such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock    
Price Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average or other management investment    
companies which have investment objectives similar to the Investment Portfolio  
being compared. The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is an     
unmanaged, unweighted average of 500 stocks, the majority of which are listed   
on the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an          
unmanaged, weighted average of thirty blue chip industrial corporations listed  
on the New York Stock Exchange. Both the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock  
Price Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average assume quarterly reinvestment  
of dividends.                                                                   

REPORTING AGENCIES                                                              

The Company may also distribute sales literature which compares the performance 
of the Accumulation Unit values of the Contracts with the unit values of        
variable annuities issued by other insurance companies. Such information will   
be derived from the Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis     
Service, the VARDS Report or from Morningstar.                                  

The Lipper Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service is          
published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., a publisher of statistical data  
which currently tracks

the performance of thousands of investment companies. The rankings compiled by  
Lipper may or may not reflect the deduction of asset-based insurance charges.   
The Company's sales literature utilizing these rankings will indicate whether   
or not such charges have been deducted. Where the charges have not been         
deducted, the sales literature will indicate that if the charges had been       
deducted, the ranking might have been lower.                                    

The VARDS Report is a monthly variable annuity industry analysis compiled by    
Variable Annuity Research & Data Service. The VARDS rankings may or may not     
reflect the deduction of asset-based insurance charges. In addition, VARDS      
prepares risk adjusted rankings, which consider the effects of market risk on   
total return performance. This type of ranking may address the question as to   
which funds provide the highest total return with the least amount of risk.     
Other ranking services may be used as sources of performance comparison, such   
as CDA/Weisenberger.                                                            

Morningstar rates a variable annuity against its peers with similar investment  
objectives. Morningstar does not rate any variable annuity that has less than   
three years of performance data.                                                

ANNUITY PROVISIONS                                                              

VARIABLE ANNUITY                                                                

A variable annuity is an annuity with payments which: (1) are not predetermined 
as to dollar amount; and (2) will vary in amount in proportion to the amount    
that the net investment factor exceeds the assumed investment return selected.  

The Adjusted Contract Value (the Account Value, less any applicable premium     
taxes, account fee, and any prorated rider charge) will be applied to the       
applicable Annuity Table to determine the first Annuity Payment. The Adjusted   
Contract Value is determined on the annuity calculation date, which is a        
Business Day no more than five (5) Business Days before the Annuity Date. The   
dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is determined as follows:   
The first variable Annuity Payment will be based upon the Annuity Option        
elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where permitted by law), and 
the appropriate variable Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates will not be   
less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of purchase for the     
assumed investment return and Annuity Option elected. If, as of the annuity     
calculation date, the then current variable Annuity Option rates applicable to  
this class of contracts provide a first Annuity Payment greater than that which 
is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this contract, the greater    
payment will be made.                                                           

The dollar amount of variable Annuity Payments after the first payment is       
determined as follows:                                                          

1.   the dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payment is divided by the  
 value of an Annuity Unit for each applicable Investment Portfolio as of
    the annuity calculation date. This establishes the number of Annuity Units
   for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units for each applicable
  Investment Portfolio remains fixed during the annuity period, unless you
transfer values from the Investment Portfolio to another Investment   
Portfolio;                                                            

2.   the fixed number of Annuity Units per payment in each Investment Portfolio 
   is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for that Investment Portfolio for
  the Business Day for which the Annuity Payment is being calculated. This
   result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Investment
    Portfolio, less any account fee. The account fee will be deducted pro rata
out of each Annuity Payment.                                          

The total dollar amount of each variable Annuity Payment is the sum of all      
Investment Portfolio variable Annuity Payments.                                 

ANNUITY UNIT - The initial Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio of  
the Separate Account was set by us.                                             

The subsequent Annuity Unit value for each Investment Portfolio is determined   
by multiplying the Annuity Unit value for the immediately preceding Business    
Day by the net investment factor for the Investment Portfolio for the current   
Business Day and multiplying the result by a factor for each day since the last 
Business Day which represents the daily equivalent of the AIR you elected.      

(1) the dollar amount of the first Annuity Payment is divided by the value of   
an Annuity Unit as of the Annuity Date. This establishes the number of Annuity  
Units for each monthly payment. The number of Annuity Units remains fixed       
during the Annuity Payment period.                                              

(2) the fixed number of Annuity Units is multiplied by the Annuity Unit value   
for the last valuation period of the

month preceding the month for which the payment is due. This result is the      
dollar amount of the payment.                                                   

NET INVESTMENT FACTOR - The net investment factor for each Investment Portfolio 
is determined by dividing A by B and multiplying by (1-C) where:                

A is (i)   the net asset value per share of the portfolio at the end of the     
current Business Day; plus                                

  (ii)  any dividend or capital gains per share declared on behalf of such
       portfolio that has an ex-dividend date as of the current Business
Day.                                                      

B is       the net asset value per share of the portfolio for the immediately   
preceding Business Day.                                   

C is (i)   the Separate Account product charges and for each day since the last 
    Business Day. The daily charge is equal to the annual Separate
Account product charges divided by 365; plus              

 (ii)  a charge factor, if any, for any taxes or any tax reserve we have
       established as a result of the operation of the Separate Account.

Transfers During the Annuity Phase:                                             

o   You may not make a transfer from the fixed Annuity Option to the variable   
Annuity Option;                                                         

o   Transfers among the subaccounts will be made by converting the number of    
Annuity Units being transferred to the number of Annuity Units of the   
  subaccount to which the transfer is made, so that the next Annuity Payment
if it were made at that time would be the same amount that it would have
been without the transfer. Thereafter, Annuity Payments will reflect    
changes in the value of the new Annuity Units; and                      

o   You may make a transfer from the variable Annuity Option to the fixed       
Annuity Option. The amount transferred from a subaccount of the Separate
Account will be equal to the product of "(a)" multiplied by "(b)"       
  multiplied by "(c)", where (a) is the number of Annuity Units representing
your interest in the subaccount per Annuity Payment; (b) is the Annuity 
Unit value for the subaccount; and (c) is the present value of $1.00 per
payment period for the remaining annuity benefit period based on the    
attained age of the Annuitant at the time of transfer, calculated using 
the same actuarial basis as the variable annuity rates applied on the   
Annuity Date for the Annuity Option elected. Amounts transferred to the 
fixed Annuity Option will be applied under the Annuity Option elected at
the attained age of the Annuitant at the time of the transfer using the 
fixed Annuity Option table. If at the time of transfer, the then current
  fixed Annuity Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide a
  greater payment, the greater payment will be made. All amounts and Annuity
 Unit values will be determined as of the end of the Business Day on which
the Company receives a notice.                                          

FIXED ANNUITY                                                                   

A fixed annuity is a series of payments made during the Annuity Phase which are 
guaranteed as to dollar amount by the Company and do not vary with the          
investment experience of the Separate Account. The Adjusted Contract Value on   
the day immediately preceding the Annuity Date will be used to determine the    
fixed annuity monthly payment. The monthly Annuity Payment will be based upon   
the Annuity Option elected, the Annuitant's age, the Annuitant's sex (where     
permitted by law), and the appropriate Annuity Option table. Your annuity rates 
will not be less than those guaranteed in your contract at the time of          
purchase. If, as of the annuity calculation date, the then current Annuity      
Option rates applicable to this class of contracts provide an Annuity Payment   
greater than that which is guaranteed under the same Annuity Option under this  
contract, the greater payment will be made.                                     

MORTALITY AND EXPENSE GUARANTEE                                                 

The Company guarantees that the dollar amount of each Annuity Payment after the 
first Annuity Payment will not be affected by variations in mortality or        
expense experience.                                                             

LEGAL OR REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSACTIONS                                

If mandated under applicable law, the Company may be required to reject a       
premium payment. The Company may also be required to block a contract Owner's   
account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals,       
surrenders, death benefits or continue making Annuity Payments until            
instructions are received from the appropriate regulator.

ADDITIONAL FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS                                           

NON-QUALIFIED CONTRACTS                                                         

DIVERSIFICATION. In order for your Non-Qualified Contract to be considered an   
annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, we must comply with certain   
diversification standards with respect to the investments underlying the        
contract. We believe that we satisfy and will continue to satisfy these         
diversification standards. Failure to meet these standards would result in      
immediate taxation to contract Owners of gains under their contracts.           
Inadvertent failure to meet these standards may be correctable.                 

CHANGES TO TAX RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS                                        

Changes to applicable tax rules and interpretations can adversely affect the    
tax treatment of your contract. These changes may take effect retroactively.    

We reserve the right to amend your contract where necessary to maintain its     
status as a variable annuity contract under federal tax law and to protect you  
and other contract Owners in the Investment Portfolios from adverse tax         
consequences.                                                                   

3.8% INVESTMENT TAX                                                             

The 3.8% investment tax applies to investment income earned in households       
making at least $250,000 ($200,000 single) and will result in the following top 
tax rates on investment income:

QUALIFIED CONTRACTS                                                             

Annuity contracts purchased through tax qualified plans are subject to          
limitations imposed by the Code and regulations as a condition of tax           
qualification. There are various types of tax qualified plans which have        
certain beneficial tax consequences for contract Owners and plan participants.  

TYPES OF QUALIFIED PLANS                                                        

The following list includes individual account-type plans which may hold an     
annuity contract as described in the Prospectus. Except for Traditional IRAs,   
they are established by an employer for participation of its employees.         

IRA                                                                             

Established by an individual, or employer as part of an employer plan.          

SIMPLE                                                                          

Established by a for-profit employer with fewer than 100 employees, based on    
IRA accounts for each participant.                                              

SEP                                                                             

Established by a for-profit employer, based on IRA accounts for each            
participant. Employer only contributions.                                       

401(K), 401(A)                                                                  

Established by for-profit employers, Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt and non-tax   
exempt entities, Indian Tribes.                                                 

403(B) TAX SHELTERED ANNUITY ("TSA")                                            

Established by Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt entities, public schools (K-12),    
public colleges, universities, churches, synagogues and mosques.                

457(B) GOVERNMENTAL SPONSOR                                                     

Established by state and local governments, public schools (K-12), public       
colleges and universities.                                                      

457(B) NON-GOVERNMENTAL SPONSOR                                                 

Established by a tax-exempt entity. Under a non-governmental plan, which must   
be a tax-exempt entity under Section 501(c) of the Code, all such investments   
of the plan are owned by and are subject to the claims of the general creditors 
of the sponsoring employer. In general, all amounts received under a            
non-governmental Section 457(b) plan are taxable and are subject to federal     
income tax withholding as wages.                                                

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING 457(B) PLANS                                   

A 457(b) plan may provide a one-time election to make special one-time          
"catch-up" contributions in one or more of the participant's last three taxable 
years ending before the participant's normal retirement age under the plan.

Participants in governmental 457(b) plans may not use both the age 50 or older  
catch-up and the special one-time catch-up contribution in the same taxable     
year. In general, contribution limits with respect to elective deferral and to  
age 50 plus catch-up contributions are not aggregated with contributions under  
the other types of qualified plans for the purposes of determining the          
limitations applicable to participants.                                         

403(A)                                                                          

If your benefit under the 403(b) plan is worth more than $5,000, the Code       
requires that your annuity protect your spouse if you die before you receive    
any payments under the annuity or if you die while payments are being made. You 
may waive these requirements with the written consent of your spouse. In        
general, designating a Beneficiary other than your spouse is considered a       
waiver and requires your spouse's written consent. Waiving these requirements   
may cause your monthly benefit to increase during your lifetime. Special rules  
apply to the withdrawal of excess contributions.                                

ROTH ACCOUNT                                                                    

Individual or employee plan contributions made to certain plans on an after-tax 
basis. An IRA may be established as a Roth IRA, and 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b)   
plans may provide for Roth accounts.                                            

ERISA                                                                           

If your plan is subject to ERISA and you are married, the income payments,      
withdrawal provisions, and methods of payment of the death benefit under your   
contract may be subject to your spouse's rights as described below.             

Generally, the spouse must give qualified consent whenever you elect to:        

(a)        choose income payments other than on a qualified joint and survivor  
     annuity basis ("QJSA") (one under which we make payments to you
         during your lifetime and then make payments reduced by no more than
          50% to your spouse for his or her remaining life, if any): or choose
    to waive the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit
("QPSA") (the benefit payable to the surviving spouse of a
          participant who dies with a vested interest in an accrued retirement
      benefit under the plan before payment of the benefit has begun);

(b)        make certain withdrawals under plans for which a qualified consent   
is required;                                              

(c)        name someone other than the spouse as your Beneficiary; or           

(d)        use your accrued benefit as security for a loan exceeding $5,000.    

Generally, there is no limit to the number of your elections as long as a       
qualified consent is given each time. The consent to waive the QJSA must meet   
certain requirements, including that it be in writing, that it acknowledges the 
identity of the designated Beneficiary and the form of benefit selected, dated, 
signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative, and 
that it be in a form satisfactory to us. The waiver of the QJSA generally must  
be executed during the 180 day period (90 days for certain loans) ending on the 
date on which income payments are to commence, or the withdrawal or the loan is 
to be made, as the case may be. If you die before benefits commence, your       
surviving spouse will be your Beneficiary unless he or she has given a          
qualified consent otherwise.                                                    

The qualified consent to waive the QPSA benefit and the Beneficiary designation 
must be made in writing that acknowledges the designated Beneficiary, dated,    
signed by your spouse, witnessed by a notary public or plan representative and  
in a form satisfactory to us. Generally, there is no limit to the number of     
Beneficiary designations as long as a qualified consent accompanies each        
designation. The waiver of and the qualified consent for the QPSA benefit       
generally may not be given until the plan year in which you attain age 35. The  
waiver period for the QPSA ends on the date of your death.                      

If the present value of your benefit is worth $5,000 or less, your plan         
generally may provide for distribution of your entire interest in a lump sum    
without spousal consent.

Dollar limits are for 2014 and subject to cost-of-living adjustments in future  
years. Employer-sponsored individual account plans (other than 457(b) plans)    
may provide for additional employer contributions not to exceed the greater of  
$52,000 or 25% of an employee's compensation for 2014.                          

FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES                                                            

While no attempt is being made to discuss the federal estate tax implications   
of the contract, you should bear in mind that the value of an annuity contract  
owned by a decedent and payable to a Beneficiary by virtue of surviving the     
decedent is included in the decedent's gross estate. Depending on the terms of  
the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may 
be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated Beneficiary or   
the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the Beneficiary. Consult  
an estate planning adviser for more information.                                

GENERATION-SKIPPING TRANSFER TAX                                                

Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a "generation-skipping         
transfer tax" when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a   
death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than    
the contract Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct  
the tax from your contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly 
to the IRS.                                                                     

ANNUITY PURCHASE PAYMENTS BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS        

The discussion above provides general information regarding U.S. federal income 
tax consequences to annuity purchasers that are U.S. citizens or residents.     
Purchasers that are not U.S. citizens or residents will generally be subject to 
U.S. federal withholding tax on taxable distributions from annuity contracts at 
a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, purchasers may be  
subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the    
purchaser's country of citizenship or residence. Prospective purchasers are     
advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state and       
foreign taxation with respect to an annuity contract purchase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM                         

To the Contract Owners of                                                       
MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A                                        
and Board of Directors of                                                       
MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company                                         

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of        
MetLife Investors USA Separate Account A (the "Separate Account") of MetLife    
Investors USA Insurance Company (the "Company") comprising each of the          
individual Sub-Accounts listed in Note 2 as of December 31, 2013, the related   
statements of operations for the respective stated period in the year then      
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the respective stated        
periods in the two years then ended, and the financial highlights in Note 8 for 
the respective stated periods in the five years then ended. These financial     
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Separate      
Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these      
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.              

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company  
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we     
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the     
financial statements and financial highlights are free of material              
misstatement. The Separate Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged 
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our      
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a 
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the    
Separate Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we   
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,     
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,    
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by      
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31,    
2013, by correspondence with the custodian or mutual fund companies. We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.                     

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to   
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each  
of the Sub-Accounts constituting the Separate Account of the Company as of      
December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the respective stated    
period in the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for the          
respective stated periods in the two years then ended, and the financial        
highlights for the respective stated periods in the five years then ended, in   
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States   
of America.                                                                     

/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP                                                       
Certified Public Accountants

March 27, 2014

unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and 
exists in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware Department of         
Insurance.                                                                      

In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge into  
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), as the surviving entity, two 
United States ("U.S.")-based life insurance companies and an offshore           
reinsurance subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life  
insurance company, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware    
(the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged into MICC consist of the Company    
and MetLife Investors Insurance Company, each a U.S. insurance company that     
issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter      
Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly         
reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. Exeter,         
formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October   
2013. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject  
to regulatory approvals.                                                        

The Separate Account is divided into Sub-Accounts, each of which is treated as  
an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes. Each          
Sub-Account invests in shares of the corresponding portfolio, series, or fund   
(with the same name) of registered investment management companies (the         
"Trusts"), which are presented below:

a) At the close of business on April 26, 2013, the (MSF) Oppenheimer Global     
Equity Portfolio merged with and into the (MIST) Met/Templeton Growth     
Portfolio. Concurrently, Oppenheimer Funds, Inc. became the subadviser of 
the (MIST) Met/Templeton Growth Portfolio, the portfolio's investment     
objective and principal investment strategies changed, and the portfolio's
 name was changed to (MIST) Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio. Pursuant to
these changes, (MSF) Oppenheimer Global Equity Portfolio was deemed to be 
the accounting and performance survivor of the merger for financial       
reporting purposes, and therefore, the results of MIST Oppenheimer Global 
Equity Sub-Account presented in the financial statements reflect the      
  historical results of MSF Oppenheimer Global Equity Sub-Account prior to the
merger, and the combined results thereafter.                              

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                             

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING                                                             
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting       
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")          
applicable for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment 
trusts.                                                                         

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS                                                           
Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and    
losses on the sales of investments are computed on the basis of the average     
cost of the investment sold. Income from dividends and realized gain            
distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date.                         

SECURITY VALUATION                                                              
A Sub-Account's investment in shares of a portfolio, series, or fund of the     
Trusts is valued at fair value based on the closing net asset value ("NAV") or  
price per share as determined by the Trusts as of the end of the year. All      
changes in fair value are recorded as changes in unrealized gains (losses) on   
investments in the statements of operations of the applicable Sub-Accounts.

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A              
OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY              
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)              

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)                              

SECURITY VALUATION -- (CONCLUDED)                                               
The Separate Account defines fair value as the price that would be received to  
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal  
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly            
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Separate   
Account prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation techniques and allows for the  
use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not         
available. The Separate Account has categorized its assets based on the         
priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value    
hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for     
identical assets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs       
(Level 3). An asset's classification within the fair value hierarchy is based   
on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The input levels are 
as follows:                                                                     

Level 1     Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets     
that the Separate Account has the ability to access.    
Level 2     Observable inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are      
          observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include
           quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market or
prices for similar instruments.                         
Level 3     Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market       
     activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets,
     representing the Separate Account's own assumptions about the
        assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset,
and based on the best information available.            

Each Sub-Account invests in shares of open-end mutual funds which calculate a   
daily NAV based on the fair value of the underlying securities in their         
portfolios. As a result, and as required by law, shares of open-end mutual      
funds are purchased and redeemed at their quoted daily NAV as reported by the   
Trusts at the close of each business day. On that basis, the inputs used to     
value all shares held by the Separate Account, which are measured at fair value 
on a recurring basis, are classified as Level 2. There were no transfers        
between Level 1 and Level 2, and no activity in Level 3 during the year.        

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES                                                            
The operations of the Separate Account form a part of the total operations of   
the Company and are not taxed separately. The Company is taxed as a life        
insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").    
Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur   
federal income taxes on the earnings of the Separate Account to the extent the  
earnings are credited under the Contracts. Accordingly, no charge is currently  
being made to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. The Company will   
periodically review the status of this policy in the event of changes in the    
tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that 
would be attributable to the Contracts.                                         

ANNUITY PAYOUTS                                                                 
Net assets allocated to Contracts in the payout period are computed according   
to industry standard mortality tables. The assumed investment return is between 
3.0 and 6.0 percent. The mortality risk is fully borne by the Company and may   
result in additional amounts being transferred into the Separate Account by the 
Company to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if  
amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to the         
Company.                                                                        

PURCHASE PAYMENTS                                                               
Purchase payments received from contract owners by the Company are credited as  
accumulation units as of the end of the valuation period in which received, as  
provided in the prospectus of the Contracts, and are reported as contract       
transactions on the statements of changes in net assets of the applicable       
Sub-Accounts.

METLIFE INVESTORS USA SEPARATE ACCOUNT A              
OF METLIFE INVESTORS USA INSURANCE COMPANY              
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)              

4.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONCLUDED)                              

NET TRANSFERS                                                                   
Funds transferred by the contract owner into or out of Sub-Accounts within the  
Separate Account or into or out of the fixed account, which is part the         
Company's general account, are recorded on a net basis as net transfers in the  
statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts.             

USE OF ESTIMATES                                                                
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires        
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported       
herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.                       

5.  EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS                                     

The following annual Separate Account charges paid to the Company, are          
asset-based charges assessed through a daily reduction in unit values, which    
are recorded as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations of the    
applicable Sub-Accounts:                                                        

   Mortality and Expense Risk -- The mortality risk assumed by the Company
is the risk that those insured may die sooner than anticipated and  
 therefore, the Company will pay an aggregate amount of death benefits
greater than anticipated. The expense risk assumed is the risk that 
    expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Contracts will exceed
     the amounts realized from the administrative charges assessed against the
   Contracts. In addition, the charge compensates the Company for the risk
     that the investor may live longer than estimated and the Company would be
obligated to pay more in income payments than anticipated.          

   Administrative -- The Company has responsibility for the administration
    of the Contracts and the Separate Account. Generally, the administrative
 charge is related to the maintenance, including distribution, of each
contract and the Separate Account.                                  

     Optional Death Benefit Rider -- For an additional charge, the total death
   benefit payable may be increased based on increases in account value of
the Contracts.                                                      

Distribution Expense -- The risk that surrender charges will be     
 insufficient to cover the actual costs of distribution which includes
commissions, fees, registration costs, direct and indirect selling  
expenses.                                                           

    Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit -- For an additional charge, the
  Company will guarantee that the contract value will not be less than a
guaranteed minimum amount at the end of a specified number of years.

  Earnings Preservation Benefit -- For an additional charge, the Company
will provide this additional death benefit.                         

   The table below represents the range of effective annual rates for each
respective charge for the year ended December 31, 2013:

    The above referenced charges may not necessarily correspond to the costs
associated with providing the services or benefits indicated by the 
designation of the charge or associated with a particular contract. 

A contract maintenance fee ranging from $30 to $40 is assessed on an annual     
basis for Contracts with a value of less than $50,000. A transfer fee ranging   
from $0 to $25 may be deducted after twelve transfers are made in a contract    
year or, for certain contracts, 2% of the amount transferred from the contract  
value, if less. For certain contracts, an administrative charge is also         
assessed which ranges from $12 to $29.50 for each Sub-Account in which the      
contract owner invests (waived if purchase payments equal or exceed $2,000 in   
the year, or if the account value is $10,000 or more at year end). For other    
Contracts the administrative charge is $21.50 plus $2.50 for each Sub-Account   
selected, subject to the same waiver terms. In addition, the Contracts impose a 
surrender charge which ranges from 0% to 9% if the contract is partially or     
fully surrendered within the specified surrender charge period. For certain     
contracts, a transaction charge of the lesser of $10 or 2% of the surrender is  
imposed on surrenders and a $10 charge is assessed for annuitizations. For      
those contract owners who choose optional living benefit riders or certain      
optional death benefit riders, these charges range from 0.25% to 1.80% of the   
benefit base and are charged at each contract anniversary date. These charges   
are paid to the Company and recorded as contract charges in the accompanying    
statements of changes in net assets of the applicable Sub-Accounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)              

8.  FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS                                                        

The Company sells a number of variable annuity products which have unique       
combinations of features and fees, some of which directly affect the unit       
values of the Sub-Accounts. Differences in the fee structures result in a       
variety of unit values, expense ratios, and total returns.                      

The following table is a summary of unit values and units outstanding for the   
Contracts, net investment income ratios, and expense ratios, excluding expenses 
for the underlying portfolio, series, or fund, for the respective stated        
periods in the five years ended December 31, 2013:

1 These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital   
  gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying portfolio, series, or
fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the 
 average net assets, regardless of share class, if any. These ratios exclude
those expenses, such as mortality and expense risk charges, that are      
assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the 
unit values or the redemption of units. The investment income ratio is    
 calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the
end of the reporting period. The recognition of investment income by the  
  Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the
underlying fund or portfolio in which the Sub-Account invests. The        
 investment income ratio is calculated as a weighted average ratio since the
Sub-Account may invest in two or more share classes, within the underlying
portfolio, series, or fund of the Trusts which may have unique investment 
income ratios.                                                            

2 These amounts represent annualized contract expenses of each of the         
 applicable Sub-Accounts, consisting primarily of mortality and expense risk
charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses
that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to
 contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the
underlying portfolio, series, or fund have been excluded.                 

3 These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including
changes in the value of the underlying portfolio, series, or fund, and    
 expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not
include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total  
return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date 
 through the end of the reporting period. The total return is presented as a
range of minimum to maximum returns, based on the minimum and maximum     
returns within each product grouping of the applicable Sub-Account.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements 

In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge three 
U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to   
create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the     
"Mergers"). The companies to be merged are MetLife Insurance Company of         
Connecticut, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA"), a             
wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, and        
MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a U.S. insurance company    
that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter 
Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly         
reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MetLife         
Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled 
in Delaware, will be the surviving company. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands   
company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. Effective January 1,  
2014, following receipt of New York State Department of Financial Services      
approval, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut withdrew its license to      
issue insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York. Also, effective     
January 1, 2014, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with an     
affiliate all existing New York insurance policies and annuity contracts that   
include a separate account feature. Following the Mergers and subject to        
certain regulatory approvals, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut will     
likely enter into transactions to transfer to one or more affiliates certain    
business that is currently reinsured by Exeter. The Mergers are expected to     
occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals.           

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and             
accompanying notes present the impact of the Mergers as a transaction among     
entities under common control which is more fully described in the notes to the 
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Transactions among 
entities under common control are prepared in conformity with accounting        
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").         

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include         
historical audited amounts as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended      
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, for MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
and its subsidiaries, including MLI-USA (collectively "MICC"), MLIIC and        
Exeter. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give    
effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred (i) on December 31, 2013 for      
purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and        
(ii) on January 1, 2011 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed       
combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012   
and 2011. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the         
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to   
pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Mergers, factually       
supportable, and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined       
results. It is likely that the actual adjustments reflected in the final        
accounting, that will consider additional available information, will differ    
from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the differences may be        
material.                                                                       

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read  
in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the unaudited proforma 
condensed combined financial statements were derived from and should be read in 
conjunction with the audited historical consolidated financial statements of    
MICC included in MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's Annual Report on    
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as revised by MetLife Insurance 
Company of Connecticut's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 27, 2014,  
as well as the audited historical balance sheets of MLIIC as of December 31,    
2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income   
(loss), stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the  
period ended December 31, 2013 together with the notes thereto and balance      
sheets of Exeter as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements   
of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's equity and cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 together with 
the notes thereto, as restated on October 27, 2014 and as revised on November   
7, 2014, are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to the Current   
Report on Form 8-K/A ("Amendment No. 2") with which this financial information  
is filed as Exhibit 99.3.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented   
for informational purposes only and are not intended to reflect the results of  
operations or the financial position of the combined company that would have    
resulted had the Mergers been effective as of and during the periods presented  
or the results that may be obtained by the combined company in the future. The  
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements as of and for the   
periods presented do not reflect future events that are not directly            
attributable to the Mergers and that may occur after the Mergers, including,    
but not limited to, expense efficiencies or revenue enhancements arising from   
the Mergers or management actions. Future results may vary significantly from   
the results reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial   
statements.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA  
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. Description of Transaction                                                   

In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge three 
U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to   
create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the     
"Mergers"). The companies to be merged are MetLife Insurance Company of         
Connecticut, MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA"), a             
wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, and        
MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a U.S. insurance company    
that issues variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter 
Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly         
reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MetLife         
Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled 
in Delaware, will be the surviving company. Exeter, formerly a Cayman Islands   
company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October 2013. Effective January 1,  
2014, following receipt of New York State Department of Financial Services      
approval, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut withdrew its license to      
issue insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York. Also, effective     
January 1, 2014, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with an     
affiliate all existing New York insurance policies and annuity contracts that   
include a separate account feature. Following the Mergers and subject to        
certain regulatory approvals, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut will     
likely enter into transactions to transfer to one or more affiliates certain    
business that is currently reinsured by Exeter. The Mergers are expected to     
occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals.           

2. Basis of Presentation                                                        

The Mergers represent a transaction among entities under common control.        
Transactions among entities under common control are accounted for as if the    
transaction occurred at the beginning of the earliest date presented and prior  
years are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar   
to the pooling method. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial     
statements include historical amounts derived from the audited financial        
statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2013,   
2012 and 2011, for MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its             
subsidiaries, including MLI-USA (collectively "MICC"), MLIIC and Exeter. The    
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the  
Mergers as if they had occurred (i) on December 31, 2013 for purposes of the    
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and (ii) on January 1,     
2011 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of   
operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.                

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared   
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United       
States of America ("GAAP") and presented in accordance with the requirements of 
Article 11 of Regulation S-X published by the U.S. Securities and Exchange      
Commission. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, discontinued       
operations have been excluded from the presentation of the unaudited pro forma  
condensed combined statements of operations.                                    

The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro     
forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma       
events that are directly attributable to the Mergers, factually supportable,    
and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The       
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements exclude the effects 
of adjustments that rely on highly judgmental estimates including how           
historical management practices and operating decisions may or may not have     
changed as a result of the Mergers.                                             

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented   
for informational purposes only and are not intended to reflect the results of  
operations or the financial position of the combined company that

the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 together with the notes

respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A ("Amendment No. 2") with      
which this financial information is filed as Exhibit 99.3.                      

3. Reinsurance Adjustments                                                      

In connection with the Mergers, adjustments have been included for new and      
planned reinsurance agreements, for the recapture of certain reinsurance        
agreements and to eliminate non-recurring bank fees. The total of the           
reinsurance adjustments at December 31, 2013 resulted in changes to total       
assets of ($6,532) million, total liabilities of ($6,978) million, and total    
stockholders' equity of $446 million and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011 resulted in changes to total revenues of $162 million, $298       
million and ($984) million, respectively, and to total expenses of $154         
million, ($1,727) million, and ($205) million, respectively.                    

   (a)Adjustment to increase total assets and total liabilities by $97 million

  MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with Metropolitan
   Life Insurance Company, an affiliate, all existing New York insurance
policies and annuity contracts that include a separate account

issue insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York.       
(b)Adjustment to eliminate reinsurance transactions among the merging   
 companies. The adjustments at December 31, 2013 include: changes of

(c)Adjustment to reflect planned reinsurance transactions to transfer to
    one or more affiliates certain business that is currently reinsured by

(d)Adjustment to eliminate from other expenses non-recurring credit     
facility usage fees for letters of credit, which were held to     
   collateralize assumed liabilities and which were canceled when Exeter
      re-domesticated to Delaware of $17 million, $19 million and $25 million,
 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
  (e)Adjustment for the income tax impact for all reinsurance adjustments at

6. Forward Looking Statements                                                   

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may be deemed 
to be forward looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor          
provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of     
1995. Forward looking statements are identified by words such as "anticipate,"  
"estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe" and other words    
and terms of similar meaning, or are tied to future periods, in connection with 
a discussion of future operating or financial performance. Such statements may  
include, but are not limited to statements about the benefits of the Mergers,   
including future financial and operating results, the combined company's plans, 
objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not       
historical facts. These forward looking statements are based largely on         
management's expectations and are subject to a number of risks and              
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward        
looking statements.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA  
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

7. Subsequent Event                                                             

On February 14, 2014, a subsidiary of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
entered into a definitive agreement to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary,        
MetLife Assurance Limited ("MAL"). Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, MICC 
will account for and report MAL as discontinued operations. These unaudited pro 
forma condensed combined financial statements exclude the impact of the MAL     
disposition as the transaction does not meet the significant subsidiary         
conditions of Article 11 of Regulation S-X and is not directly attributable to

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of                                   
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut:                                       

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MetLife         
Insurance Company of Connecticut and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of         
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of          
operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity, and cash flows   
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. Our audits   
also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index to          
Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes and Schedules. These consolidated      
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility   
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on    
our audits.                                                                     

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company  
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we     
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the     
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The        
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of    
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included              
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for       
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not   
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's  
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such      
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing 
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as 
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe     
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.                     

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all   
material respects, the financial position of MetLife Insurance Company of       
Connecticut and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results  
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the     
period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles        
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such  
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic         
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all      
material respects, the information set forth therein.                           

/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP                                                       

New York, New York                                                              
March 28, 2014                                                                  
(October 27, 2014 as to Note 17)

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies                                                                        

Business                                                                        

 "MICC" or the "Company" refers to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, a
Connecticut corporation incorporated in 1863, and its subsidiaries, including   
MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company ("MLI-USA"). MetLife Insurance Company  
of Connecticut is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife"). The   
Company offers individual annuities, individual life insurance, and             
institutional protection and asset accumulation products.                       

The Company is organized into two segments: Retail and Corporate Benefit    
Funding.                                                                        

In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife announced its plans to merge three   
U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance subsidiary to   
create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance company (the     
"Mergers"). The companies to be merged are MetLife Insurance Company of         
Connecticut, MLI-USA and MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a  
U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to     
other products, and Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance  
company that mainly reinsures guarantees associated with variable annuity       
products. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, which is expected to be     
renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. Exeter,        
formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in           
October 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, following receipt of New York State    
Department of Financial Services ("Department of Financial Services") approval, 
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut withdrew its license to issue          
insurance policies and annuity contracts in New York. Also effective January 1, 
2014, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut reinsured with Metropolitan Life 
Insurance Company ("MLIC"), an affiliate, all existing New York insurance       
policies and annuity contracts that include a separate account feature. As a    
result of the reinsurance agreements, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
recorded a reinsurance recoverable, included in premiums, reinsurance and other 
receivables, of $545 million and a funds withheld liability, included in other  
liabilities, of $97 million, and transferred cash and investments of $448       
million to MLIC. On December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut 
deposited investments with an estimated fair market value of $6.3 billion into  
a custodial account, which became restricted to secure MetLife Insurance        
Company of Connecticut's remaining New York policyholder liabilities not        
covered by such reinsurance on January 1, 2014. In anticipation of establishing 
the custodial account with qualifying investments, MetLife Insurance Company of 
Connecticut transferred investments with an estimated fair value of             
$739 million and cash of $12 million to MLIC and received from MLIC qualifying  
investments with an estimated fair value of $751 million in the fourth quarter  
of 2013. See Note 7. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 
2014, subject to regulatory approvals.                                          

Basis of Presentation                                                           

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting       
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires 
management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that 
affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. In applying   
these policies and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments 
that frequently require assumptions about matters that are inherently           
uncertain. Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common   
in the insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the  
Company's business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

Consolidation                                                                 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries, as well as     
partnerships and joint ventures in which the Company has control, and variable
interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.  
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.                  

  Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies,
its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity.           

Discontinued Operations                                                       

  The results of operations of a component of the Company that has either been
disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale are reported in discontinued    
operations if certain criteria are met. In order to qualify for a discontinued
operation, the operations and cash flows of the component have been or will be
eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, and the Company will   
not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the      
component after the disposal transaction.                                     

Separate Accounts                                                             

 Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are
generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business  
of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims 
only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account      
liabilities. The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities,       
investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts
if:                                                                           

.  such separate accounts are legally recognized;                       
.  assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from
the Company's general account liabilities;                        
.  investments are directed by the contractholder; and                  
.  all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is 
passed through to the contractholder.                             

The Company reports separate account assets at their fair value, which is 
based on the estimated fair values of the underlying assets comprising the    
individual separate account portfolios. Investment performance (including     
investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized    
gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to contractholders of  
such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the statements of   
operations. Separate accounts credited with a contractual investment return   
are combined on a line-by-line basis with the Company's general account       
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the accounting for these       
investments is consistent with the methodologies described herein for similar 
financial instruments held within the general account. Unit-linked separate   
account investments that are directed by contractholders but do not meet one  
or more of the other above criteria are included in fair value option ("FVO") 
securities. See Note 3.

Policies (continued)                                                            

The Company's revenues reflect fees charged to the separate accounts,     
including mortality charges, risk charges, policy administration fees,        
investment management fees and surrender charges. Such fees are included in   
universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the statements of   
operations.                                                                   

Reclassifications                                                             

Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements and 
related footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current  
year presentation as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated       
Financial Statements.                                                         

Adjustments to Prior Periods                                              

   During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company determined to adjust certain
prior period results to correct the following:                              

   .  Certain prior years' acquisition costs related to variable annuity sales
     were incorrectly allocated to an affiliate. Such costs, net of deferred
      policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), were $57 million, $66 million, and $52
million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.                    

   .  A DAC recoverability write-off of $111 million associated with term life
   and universal life secondary guarantees business sold in 2012 was not
recorded as of December 31, 2012.                                 

.  The fair value of a bifurcated embedded derivative associated with a 
reinsurance agreement was overstated by $23 million for 2011.     

 .  Policyholder benefits and claims and other expenses were overstated in
    2012 by $6 million and $23 million, respectively, due to an adjustment
     in the modeling of dynamic lapses in certain variable annuity products.

.  Tax valuation allowances were understated by $22 million for 2012.   

.  A non-cash transaction relating to a pension closeout sale was       
      incorrectly recorded as an increase of $312 million in net cash provided
   by operating activities with an offsetting impact on net cash used in
investing activities for 2011.                                    

Management evaluated the materiality of these adjustments quantitatively
and qualitatively and concluded that they were not material to any prior    
periods' annual or quarterly financial statements, however, unadjusted      
amounts as of December 31, 2012 would have had a significant effect on the  
results of operations for 2013 if they were recorded in 2013. Accordingly,  
the Company has revised its previously reported financial statements for    
prior annual periods for the items listed above, including the related tax  
 impacts, as detailed below. The effects of the adjustments were immaterial to
quarterly financial information reported in each of the interim condensed   
consolidated financial statements in 2012 and 2013, since the most          
significant adjustments occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012. As a result,
such previously reported quarterly financial information has not been       
adjusted, and we do not plan to amend prior quarterly filings.

Future Policy Benefit Liabilities and Policyholder Account Balances         

The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance 
policies. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and
related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected  
 benefits to be paid reduced by the present value of future expected premiums.
Such liabilities are established based on methods and underlying assumptions
in accordance with GAAP and applicable actuarial standards. Principal       
assumptions used in the establishment of liabilities for future policy      
benefits are mortality, morbidity, policy lapse, renewal, retirement,       
 disability incidence, disability terminations, investment returns, inflation,
 expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to the respective product
type. These assumptions are established at the time the policy is issued and
are intended to estimate the experience for the period the policy benefits  
are payable. Utilizing these assumptions, liabilities are established on a  
block of business basis. For long duration insurance contracts, assumptions 
such as mortality, morbidity and interest rates are "locked in" upon the    
issuance of new business. However, significant adverse changes in experience
on such contracts may require the establishment of premium deficiency       
reserves. Such reserves are determined based on the then current assumptions
and do not include a provision for adverse deviation.                       

Liabilities for universal and variable life secondary guarantees are    
determined by estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when  
the account balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits  
 ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The
assumptions used in estimating the secondary guarantee liabilities are      
consistent with those used for amortizing DAC and are thus subject to the   
same variability and risk as further discussed herein. The assumptions of   
investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent  
with historical experience of appropriate underlying equity indices, such as
the Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") 500 Index. The benefits used 
 in calculating the liabilities are based on the average benefits payable over
a range of scenarios.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future   
policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences   
result in changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits 
to benefit expenses in the period in which the changes occur.               

Policyholder account balances ("PABs") relate to contract or contract   
features where the Company has no significant insurance risk.               

The Company issues directly and assumes through reinsurance, certain    
variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum benefits that provide the 
policyholder a minimum return based on their initial deposit (i.e., the     
benefit base) less withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as       
insurance liabilities or as embedded derivatives depending on how and when  
the benefit is paid. Specifically, a guarantee is accounted for as an       
embedded derivative if a guarantee is paid without requiring (i) the        
occurrence of specific insurable event, or (ii) the policyholder to         
annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is accounted for as an insurance      
liability if the guarantee is paid only upon either (i) the occurrence of a 
specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. In certain cases, a        
guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability and an embedded  
derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and accounted for under 
both models.                                                                

   Guarantees accounted for as insurance liabilities in future policy benefits
include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"), the portion of         
guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs") that require annuitization, and
the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits       
("GMWBs").                                                                  

Guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives in PABs include the non
life-contingent portion of GMWBs, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits  
("GMABs") and the portion of GMIBs that do not require annuitization. At    
 inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the
projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal 
to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional
fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and         
investment-type product policy fees.                                        

Other Policy-Related Balances                                               

  Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims, unearned
revenue liabilities, premiums received in advance and policyholder dividends
due and unpaid.                                                             

  The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred
but not reported death, disability, and long-term care ("LTC") claims, as   
well as claims which have been reported but not yet settled. The liability  
for these claims is based on the Company's estimated ultimate cost of       
settling all claims. The Company derives estimates for the development of   
incurred but not reported claims principally from analyses of historical    
patterns of claims by business line. The methods used to determine these    
estimates are continually reviewed. Adjustments resulting from this         
continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for
claims are recognized in policyholder benefits and claims expense in the    
period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made.             

The unearned revenue liability relates to universal life-type and       
investment-type products and represents policy charges for services to be   
provided in future periods. The charges are deferred as unearned revenue and
amortized using the product's estimated gross profits, similar to DAC as    
 discussed further herein. Such amortization is recorded in universal life and
investment-type product policy fees.

Policies (continued)                                                            

   The Company accounts for the prepayment of premiums on its individual life,
group life and health contracts as premiums received in advance and applies 
the cash received to premiums when due.                                     

Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits                              

Premiums related to traditional life and annuity policies with life     
contingencies are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders.       
 Policyholder benefits and expenses are provided to recognize profits over the
estimated lives of the insurance policies. When premiums are due over a     
significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are        
provided, any excess profit is deferred and recognized into earnings in a   
constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of
expected future policy benefit payments.                                    

Premiums related to non-medical health and disability contracts are     
recognized on a pro rata basis over the applicable contract term.           

Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are
 credited to PABs. Revenues from such contracts consist of fees for mortality,
policy administration and surrender charges and are recorded in universal   
life and investment-type product policy fees in the period in which services
are provided. Amounts that are charged to earnings include interest credited
and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs.                      

   Premiums, policy fees, policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net
of reinsurance.

Policy-Related Intangibles                                                    

The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and 
renewal insurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful 
acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts are capitalized as DAC. Such    
costs include:                                                                

 .  incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions;
  .  the portion of an employee's total compensation and benefits related to
    time spent selling, underwriting or processing the issuance of new and
      renewal insurance business only with respect to actual policies acquired
or renewed;                                                       
.  other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a 
policy not been acquired or renewed; and                          
  .  in limited circumstances, the costs of direct-response advertising, the
   primary purpose of which is to elicit sales to customers who could be
      shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and that results
in probable future benefits.                                      

All other acquisition-related costs, including those related to general   
advertising and solicitation, market research, agent training, product        
development, unsuccessful sales and underwriting efforts, as well as all      
indirect costs, are expensed as incurred.                                     

 Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is an intangible asset resulting from a
business combination that represents the excess of book value over the        
estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type      
contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the   
acquired liabilities is

See Note 5 for additional information on DAC and VOBA amortization.       

The recovery of DAC and VOBA is dependent upon the future profitability of
the related business. DAC and VOBA are aggregated in the financial statements 
for reporting purposes.                                                       

  The Company generally has two different types of sales inducements which are
included in other assets: (i) the policyholder receives a bonus whereby the   
policyholder's initial account balance is increased by an amount equal to a   
specified percentage of the customer's deposit; and (ii) the policyholder     
receives a higher interest rate using a dollar cost averaging method than     
would have been received based on the normal general account interest rate    
credited. The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the    
life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize
DAC. The amortization of sales inducements is included in policyholder        
benefits and claims. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a
potential recoverability issue exists, the Company reviews deferred sales     
inducements to determine the recoverability of the asset.                     

Value of distribution agreements acquired ("VODA") is reported in other   
assets and represents the present value of expected future profits associated 
with the expected future business derived from the distribution agreements    
acquired as part of a business combination. Value of customer relationships   
acquired ("VOCRA") is also reported in other assets and represents the present
value of the expected future profits associated with the expected future      
business acquired through existing customers of the acquired company or       
business. The VODA and VOCRA associated with past business combinations are   
amortized over useful lives ranging from 10 to 30 years and such amortization 
is included in other expenses. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances 
indicate a possible impairment exists, the Company reviews VODA and VOCRA to  
determine whether the asset is impaired.                                      

Reinsurance                                                                   

For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the
agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to      
insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions   
under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as the
primary insurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, including those
that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject 
or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

 For reinsurance of existing in-force blocks of long-duration contracts that
transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the      
amounts paid (received), and the liabilities ceded (assumed) related to the   
underlying contracts is considered the net cost of reinsurance at the         
inception of the reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is        
recorded as an adjustment to DAC when there is a gain at inception on the     
ceding entity and to other liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The 
net cost of reinsurance is recognized as a component of other expenses when   
there is a gain at inception and as policyholder benefits and claims when     
there is a loss and is subsequently amortized on a basis consistent with the  
methodology used for amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured       
contracts. Subsequent amounts paid (received) on the reinsurance of in-force  
blocks, as well as amounts paid (received) related to new business, are       
recorded as ceded (assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) premiums, reinsurance
and other receivables (future policy benefits) are established.               

Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in
premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are 
included in other liabilities. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance 
agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet,  
if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event    
that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms  
of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become  
uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated 
net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance.                              

The funds withheld liability represents amounts withheld by the Company in
accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements. The Company withholds
the funds rather than transferring the underlying investments and, as a       
result, records funds withheld liability within other liabilities. The Company
recognizes interest on funds withheld, included in other expenses, at rates   
defined by the terms of the agreement which may be contractually specified or 
directly related to the investment portfolio.                                 

 Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed
under reinsurance agreements and are net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts        
received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other      
revenues. With respect to GMIBs, a portion of the directly written GMIBs are  
accounted for as insurance liabilities, but the associated reinsurance        
agreements contain embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives are       
included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables with changes in       
estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses).               

If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the
reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance    
risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of           
accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits  
made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. As      
amounts are paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the   
deposit assets or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is      
recorded as other revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. Periodically,   
the Company evaluates the adequacy of the expected payments or recoveries and 
adjusts the deposit asset or liability through other revenues or other        
expenses, as appropriate.

Policies (continued)                                                            

Investments                                                                   

Net Investment Income and Net Investment Gains (Losses)                     

Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless  
 otherwise stated herein. Gains and losses on sales of investments, impairment
 losses and changes in valuation allowances are reported within net investment
gains (losses), unless otherwise stated herein.                             

Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities                                        

The majority of the Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are  
classified as available-for-sale ("AFS") and are reported at their estimated
fair value. Unrealized investment gains and losses on these securities are  
recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss)       
("OCI"), net of policyholder-related amounts and deferred income taxes. All 
security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment gains  
and losses on sales are determined on a specific identification basis.      

Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned  
 using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and
 accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Dividends
on equity securities are recognized when declared.                          

   The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity and equity securities for
impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on 
management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the      
decline in estimated fair value, as well as an analysis of the gross        
unrealized losses by severity and/or age as described in Note 7 "--         
 Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS
Securities."                                                                

For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an        
 other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is
anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either:     
(i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more     
 likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before
recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between  
the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these 
conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security 
 and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected
is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair 
value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected
to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors  
("noncredit loss") is recorded in OCI.                                      

With respect to equity securities, the Company considers in its OTTI    
analysis its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a  
period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its estimated fair   
value to an amount equal to or greater than cost. If a sale decision is made
 for an equity security and recovery to an amount at least equal to cost prior
to the sale is not expected, the security will be deemed to be              
 other-than-temporarily impaired in the period that the sale decision was made
and an OTTI loss will be recorded in earnings. The OTTI loss recognized is  
the entire difference between the security's cost and its estimated fair    
value.

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

Mortgage Loans                                                              

  The Company disaggregates its mortgage loan investments into two portfolio
segments: commercial and agricultural. The accounting policies that are     
applicable to all portfolio segments are presented below and the accounting 
policies related to each of the portfolio segments are included in Note 7.  

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any 
unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and are net of  
 valuation allowances. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when
earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving
effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.              

Also included in mortgage loans are commercial mortgage loans held by   
consolidated securitization entities ("CSEs") for which the FVO was elected.
 These mortgage loans are stated at estimated fair value. Changes in estimated
fair value are recognized in net investment gains (losses) for commercial   
mortgage loans held by CSEs.                                                

Policy Loans                                                                

Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on
such loans is recorded as earned using the contractual interest rate.       
Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date.
Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance      
policies. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the 
cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the        
insurance policy.                                                           

Real Estate                                                                 

Real estate held-for-investment is stated at cost less accumulated      
depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the    
estimated useful life of the asset (typically 20 to 55 years). Rental income
associated with such real estate is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the respective leases. The Company periodically reviews its real
estate held-for-investment for impairment and tests for recoverability      
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may 
not be recoverable and exceeds its estimated fair value. Properties whose   
carrying values are greater than their undiscounted cash flows are written  
down to their estimated fair value, which is generally computed using the   
 present value of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate
with the underlying risks.                                                  

   Real estate for which the Company commits to a plan to sell within one year
and actively markets in its current condition for a reasonable price in     
comparison to its estimated fair value is classified as held for sale. Real 
estate held-for-sale is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or estimated
fair value less expected disposition costs and is not depreciated.          

Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests          

  The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in equity
 securities when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and for
investments in real estate joint ventures and other limited partnership     
interests ("investees") when it has more than a minor ownership interest or 
 more than a minor influence over the investee's operations, but does not have
a controlling financial interest. The Company

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

generally recognizes its share of the investee's earnings on a three-month  
lag in instances where the investee's financial information is not          
sufficiently timely or when the investee's reporting period differs from the
Company's reporting period.                                                 

  The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in which it
has virtually no influence over the investee's operations. The Company      
recognizes distributions on cost method investments as earned or received.  
 Because of the nature and structure of these cost method investments, they do
not meet the characteristics of an equity security in accordance with       
applicable accounting standards.                                            

The Company routinely evaluates its equity method and cost method       
investments for impairment. For equity method investees, the Company        
considers financial and other information provided by the investee, other   
known information and inherent risks in the underlying investments, as well 
as future capital commitments, in determining whether an impairment has     
occurred. The Company considers its cost method investments for impairment  
when the carrying value of such investments exceeds the net asset value     
("NAV"). The Company takes into consideration the severity and duration of  
this excess when determining whether the cost method investment is impaired.

Short-term Investments                                                      

Short-term investments include securities and other investments with    
remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at 
the time of purchase and are stated at estimated fair value or amortized    
cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Short-term investments also  
include investments in affiliated money market pools.                       

Other Invested Assets                                                       

Other invested assets consist principally of the following:             

.  Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values are     
described in "-- Derivatives" below.                              
   .  Loans to affiliates are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for
any unamortized premium or discount.                              
   .  Tax credit and renewable energy partnerships derive a significant source
 of investment return in the form of income tax credits or other tax
  incentives. Where tax credits are guaranteed by a creditworthy third
      party, the investment is accounted for under the effective yield method.
 Otherwise, the investment is accounted for under the equity method.
.  Leveraged leases are recorded net of non-recourse debt. Income on    
leveraged leases is recognized by applying the leveraged lease's  
      estimated rate of return to the net investment in the lease. The Company
regularly reviews residual values for impairment.                 
.  Investments in joint ventures that engage in insurance underwriting  
activities are accounted for under the equity method.             

Securities Lending Program                                                  

   Securities lending transactions, whereby blocks of securities are loaned to
 third parties, primarily brokerage firms and commercial banks, are treated as
 financing arrangements and the associated liability is recorded at the amount
of cash received. The Company obtains collateral at the inception of the    
loan, usually cash, in an amount

Policies (continued)                                                            

 generally equal to 102% of the estimated fair value of the securities loaned,
 and maintains it at a level greater than or equal to 100% for the duration of
the loan. The Company is liable to return to the counterparties the cash    
collateral received. Security collateral on deposit from counterparties in  
connection with the securities lending transactions may not be sold or      
 repledged, unless the counterparty is in default, and is not reflected in the
financial statements. The Company monitors the estimated fair value of the  
securities loaned on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as 
necessary. Income and expenses associated with securities lending           
transactions are reported as investment income and investment expense,      
respectively, within net investment income.                                 

Derivatives                                                                   

Freestanding Derivatives                                                    

   Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either
as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other       
liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair   
value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty
under the same master netting agreement.                                    

   Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income
or within other liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to    
settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in  
other invested assets or other liabilities.                                 

If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in  
 managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated
fair value of the derivative are reported in net derivative gains (losses)  
except as follows:

Hedge Accounting                                                            

To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging        
relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective  
and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its        
designation of the hedge. Hedge designation and financial statement         
presentation of changes in estimated fair value of the hedging derivatives  
are as follows:                                                             

.  Fair value hedge (a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized
      asset or liability) -- in net derivative gains (losses), consistent with
the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the   
designated risk being hedged.                                     
.  Cash flow hedge (a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the       
      variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized
      asset or liability) -- effectiveness in OCI (deferred gains or losses on
   the derivative are reclassified into the statement of operations when
     the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of
 the hedged item); ineffectiveness in net derivative gains (losses).

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are     
exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the statement of  
operations within interest income or interest expense to match the location 
of the hedged item.                                                         

In its hedge documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging      
instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged  
item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and     
prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness and the method  
that will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a  
hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting 
the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally     
assessed at inception and at least quarterly throughout the life of the     
designated hedging relationship. Assessments of hedge effectiveness and     
measurements of ineffectiveness are also subject to interpretation and      
estimation and different interpretations or estimates may have a material   
effect on the amount reported in net income.                                

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is 
determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting  
changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the
derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) it is no longer
probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; or (iv) the     
derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument.                        

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the 
derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated   
fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be   
carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in  
estimated fair value recognized in net derivative gains (losses). The       
 carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value
hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to  
the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is     
amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided  
the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the      
changes in estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in OCI related to   
discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the statements of operations
when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of
the hedged item.                                                            

   When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that
the forecasted transactions will occur on the anticipated date or within two
months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance  
sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value    
recognized currently in net derivative gains (losses). Deferred gains and   
 losses of a derivative recorded in OCI pursuant to the discontinued cash flow
hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized 
immediately in net derivative gains (losses).                               

In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the  
 derivative is carried at its estimated fair value in the balance sheets, with
changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net 
derivative gains (losses).                                                  

Embedded Derivatives                                                        

  The Company sells variable annuities and issues certain insurance products
and investment contracts and is a party to certain reinsurance agreements   
 that have embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded
 derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded
derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a      
freestanding derivative if:                                                 

.  the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair 
value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings;

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

   .  the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related
to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and         
.  a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative 
would qualify as a derivative instrument.                         

Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated
fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value 
are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company is  
 unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation
from its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet 
at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in 
 the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income.
Additionally, the Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the      
balance sheet at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value 
recognized in the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net    
investment income if that contract contains an embedded derivative that     
requires bifurcation. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded  
derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected 
from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future        
guaranteed benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are    
reported in universal life and investment-type product policy fees.         

Fair Value                                                                    

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most      
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction      
between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit  
price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial        
recognition.                                                                  

Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted    
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are  
readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available,  
fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted 
prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other          
observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are
not determinable, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs 
requiring management judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value  
of assets and liabilities.                                                    

Goodwill                                                                      

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from net assets  
acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and   
recognized. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of cost over the estimated   
fair value of such net assets acquired, is not amortized, and is tested for   
impairment based on a fair value approach at least annually or more frequently
if events or circumstances indicate that there may be justification for       
conducting an interim test. The Company performs its annual goodwill          
impairment testing during the third quarter of each year based upon data as of
the close of the second quarter. Goodwill associated with a business          
acquisition is not tested for impairment during the year the business is      
acquired unless there is a significant identified impairment event.           

The impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level, which is the
operating segment or a business one level below the operating segment, if     
discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by          
management at that level. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, if the 
carrying value of a reporting unit

Policies (continued)                                                            

exceeds its estimated fair value, there may be an indication of impairment. In
such instances, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined in the   
same manner as the amount of goodwill that would be determined in a business  
combination. The excess of the carrying value of goodwill over the implied    
fair value of goodwill would be recognized as an impairment and recorded as a 
charge against net income.                                                    

 On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates potential triggering events that
may affect the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units to assess
whether any goodwill impairment exists. Deteriorating or adverse market       
conditions for certain reporting units may have a significant impact on the   
estimated fair value of these reporting units and could result in future      
impairments of goodwill.                                                      

Employee Benefit Plans                                                        

Pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits are provided to         
associates under plans sponsored and administered by MLIC, an affiliate of the  
Company. The Company's obligation and expense related to these benefits is      
limited to the amount of associated expense allocated from MLIC.                

Income Tax                                                                    

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and all of its includable        
subsidiaries join with MetLife and its includable subsidiaries in filing a    
consolidated U.S. life and non-life federal income tax return in accordance   
with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the     
"Code"). Current taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are
allocated to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries    
under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement.    
Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife has elected the        
"percentage method" (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing        
companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, 100 percent of tax  
attributes such as losses are reimbursed by MetLife to the extent that        
consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group  
is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable subsidiaries
pay MetLife each year the federal income tax which such profitable subsidiary 
would have paid that year based upon that year's taxable income. If MetLife   
Insurance Company of Connecticut or its includable subsidiaries has current or
prior deductions and credits (including but not limited to losses) which      
reduce the consolidated tax liability of the consolidated federal tax return  
group, the deductions and credits are characterized as realized (or           
realizable) by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its includable    
subsidiaries when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the    
consolidated federal tax return group, even if MetLife Insurance Company of   
Connecticut or its includable subsidiaries would not have realized the        
attributes on a stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method.              

The Company's accounting for income taxes represents management's best    
estimate of various events and transactions.                                  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences  
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are   
measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply  
to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to      
reverse.

Policies (continued)                                                            

The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of      
sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under  
the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are      
established when management determines, based on available information, that  
it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be        
realized. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the
business and its ability to generate capital gains. Significant judgment is   
required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as
well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination,        
consideration is given to, among other things, the following:                 

.  future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and   
carryforwards;                                                        
.  future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;              
.  taxable income in prior carryback years; and                             
.  tax planning strategies.                                                 

The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in   
certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include when estimates  
used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly 
change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in
valuation allowances. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax     
laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could  
have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any
such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the financial 
statements in the year these changes occur.                                   

The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax      
position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing         
authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial   
statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that  
is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax
benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included 
within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such  
determination is made.                                                        

  The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties
recognized as a component of income tax.                                      

Litigation Contingencies                                                      

The Company is a party to a number of legal actions and is involved in a  
number of regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of   
these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company's        
financial position. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a    
loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Legal costs are recognized as incurred. On a quarterly and annual basis, the  
Company reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for          
litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to 
be reflected in the Company's financial statements.                           

Other Accounting Policies                                                     

Cash and Cash Equivalents                                                   

The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments
purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at 
the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at 
amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

Property, Equipment, Leasehold Improvements and Computer Software           

   Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, which are included in other
assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. 
Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, as appropriate. Estimated lives generally range 
from five to 10 years for leasehold improvements, and from three to seven   
years for all other property and equipment. The net book value of the       
property, equipment and leasehold improvements was insignificant at both    
December 31, 2013 and 2012.                                                 

Computer software, which is included in other assets, is stated at cost,
less accumulated amortization. Purchased software costs, as well as certain 
internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer       
software during the application development stage, are capitalized. Such    
 costs are amortized generally over a four-year period using the straight-line
 method. The cost basis of computer software was $200 million and $185 million
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of    
 capitalized software was $97 million and $92 million at December 31, 2013 and
2012, respectively. Related amortization expense was $5 million, $10 million
and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011,       
respectively.                                                               

Other Revenues                                                              

Other revenues include, in addition to items described elsewhere herein,
advisory fees, broker-dealer commissions and fees and administrative service
fees. Such fees and commissions are recognized in the period in which       
services are performed.                                                     

Foreign Currency                                                            

 Assets, liabilities and operations of foreign affiliates and subsidiaries
are recorded based on the functional currency of each entity. The           
determination of the functional currency is made based on the appropriate   
economic and management indicators. The local currencies of foreign         
operations are the functional currencies. Assets and liabilities of foreign 
affiliates and subsidiaries are translated from the functional currency to  
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at each year-end and income and
expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates during the    
year. The resulting translation adjustments are charged or credited directly
to OCI, net of applicable taxes. Gains and losses from foreign currency     
transactions, including the effect of re-measurement of monetary assets and 
liabilities to the appropriate functional currency, are reported as part of 
net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they occur.            

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements                                       

Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding         
derivatives that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index  
Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting    
purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury and London Interbank        
Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Also, this new guidance removes the restriction on      
using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The new guidance did not    
have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption, but may       
impact the selection of benchmark interest rates for hedging relationships in   
the future.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding       
comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the   
amounts reclassified out of accumulated OCI ("AOCI") by component. In addition, 
an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net 
income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of    
AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount          
reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its     
entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required  
under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is     
required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that       
provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was prospectively   
applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 12.                      

 Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance
sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information   
about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated 
embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and         
securities borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial 
statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial     
position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net      
information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the  
statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an  
agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was             
retrospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to       
derivatives in Note 8.                                                          

 On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for
DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs  
related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be   
capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as     
incurred. As a result, certain sales manager compensation and administrative    
costs previously capitalized by the Company will no longer be deferred.         

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive
income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the     
option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income,  
and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of            
comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual    
financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components  
of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The Company 
adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements.             

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance on goodwill     
impairment testing that simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment. 
This new guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to       
determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting 
unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it      
needs to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. Only if an 
entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than 
not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value will it  
be required to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit. The qualitative  
assessment is optional and the Company is permitted to bypass it for any        
reporting unit in any period and begin its impairment analysis with the         
quantitative calculation. The Company is permitted to perform the qualitative   
assessment in any subsequent period.                                            

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair  
value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair      
value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in           
accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of   
the

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") intent   
on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements. Other       
amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair      
value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The adoption 
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements other than 
the expanded disclosures in Note 9.                                             

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements                                

In March 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding foreign currency      
(Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic   
830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon        
Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign      
Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity), effective prospectively for    
fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after   
December 15, 2013. The amendments require an entity that ceases to have a       
controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a      
foreign entity to apply the guidance in Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency       
Matters -- Translation of Financial Statements, to release any related          
cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative  
translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or   
transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the   
foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. For an   
equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance in 
section 830-30-40, Derecognition, still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of 
the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a 
partial sale of such an equity method investment. The Company does not expect   
the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial    
statements.                                                                     

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities (ASU   
2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several  
Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at 
the Reporting Date), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments        
require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several       
liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the  
scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount  
the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its    
co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on    
behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to     
disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information  
about the obligation. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new      
guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.                 

2. Segment Information                                                          

The Company is organized into two segments: Retail and Corporate Benefit    
Funding. In addition, the Company reports certain of its results of operations  
in Corporate & Other.                                                           

Retail                                                                          

The Retail segment offers a broad range of protection products and a variety
of annuities primarily to individuals, and is organized into two businesses:    
Annuities and Life & Other. Annuities includes a variety of variable, fixed and 
indexed annuities which provide for both asset accumulation and asset           
distribution needs. Life & Other insurance products and services include        
variable life, universal life, term life and whole life products, as well as    
individual disability income products. Additionally, through broker-dealer      
affiliates, the Company offers a full range of mutual funds and other           
securities products.

Corporate Benefit Funding                                                       

The Corporate Benefit Funding segment offers a broad range of annuity and   
investment products, including guaranteed interest products and other stable    
value products, income annuities, and separate account contracts for the        
investment management of defined benefit and defined contribution plan assets.  
This segment also includes structured settlements and certain products to fund  
company-, bank- or trust-owned life insurance used to finance non-qualified     
benefit programs for executives.                                                

Corporate & Other                                                               

Corporate & Other contains the excess capital not allocated to the segments,
various start-up businesses, including direct and digital marketing products,   
run-off businesses, the Company's ancillary international operations, interest  
expense related to the majority of the Company's outstanding debt, as well as   
expenses associated with certain legal proceedings and income tax audit issues. 
Corporate & Other also includes the elimination of intersegment amounts.        

Financial Measures and Segment Accounting Policies                              

Operating earnings is the measure of segment profit or loss the Company uses
to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Consistent with GAAP    
guidance for segment reporting, operating earnings is the Company's measure of  
segment performance and is reported below. Operating earnings should not be     
viewed as a substitute for income (loss) from continuing operations, net of     
income tax. The Company believes the presentation of operating earnings as the  
Company measures it for management purposes enhances the understanding of its   
performance by highlighting the results of operations and the underlying        
profitability drivers of the business.                                          

Operating earnings is defined as operating revenues less operating expenses,
both net of income tax.                                                         

Operating revenues excludes net investment gains (losses) and net derivative
gains (losses). Operating expenses excludes goodwill impairments.               

The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP revenues, in the line 
items indicated, in calculating operating revenues:                             

.  Universal life and investment-type product policy fees excludes the  
amortization of unearned revenue related to net investment gains  
     (losses) and net derivative gains (losses) and certain variable annuity
GMIB fees ("GMIB Fees"); and                                      

.  Net investment income: (i) includes amounts for scheduled periodic   
     settlement payments and amortization of premium on derivatives that are
      hedges of investments or that are used to replicate certain investments,
     but do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, (ii) includes income
from discontinued real estate operations, (iii) excludes post-tax 
 operating earnings adjustments relating to insurance joint ventures
  accounted for under the equity method, (iv) excludes certain amounts
related to contractholder-directed unit-linked investments, and   
      (v) excludes certain amounts related to securitization entities that are
VIEs consolidated under GAAP.

2. Segment Information (continued)                                              

The following additional adjustments are made to GAAP expenses, in the line 
items indicated, in calculating operating expenses:                             

 .  Policyholder benefits and claims excludes: (i) amounts associated with
periodic crediting rate adjustments based on the total return of a
      contractually referenced pool of assets, (ii) benefits and hedging costs
 related to GMIBs ("GMIB Costs"), and (iii) market value adjustments
    associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts ("Market Value
Adjustments");                                                    

  .  Interest credited to policyholder account balances includes adjustments
    for scheduled periodic settlement payments and amortization of premium
 on derivatives that are hedges of PABs but do not qualify for hedge
 accounting treatment and excludes amounts related to net investment
income earned on contractholder-directed unit-linked investments; 

.  Amortization of DAC and VOBA excludes amounts related to: (i) net    
    investment gains (losses) and net derivative gains (losses), (ii) GMIB
Fees and GMIB Costs, and (iii) Market Value Adjustments;          

.  Interest expense on debt excludes certain amounts related to         
securitization entities that are VIEs consolidated under GAAP; and

.  Other expenses excludes costs related to: (i) implementation of new  
     insurance regulatory requirements, and (ii) acquisition and integration
costs.                                                            

 Set forth in the tables below is certain financial information with respect
to the Company's segments, as well as Corporate & Other, for the years ended  
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The       
segment accounting policies are the same as those used to prepare the         
Company's consolidated financial statements, except for operating earnings    
adjustments as defined above. In addition, segment accounting policies include
the method of capital allocation described below.                             

 Economic capital is an internally developed risk capital model, the purpose
of which is to measure the risk in the business and to provide a basis upon   
which capital is deployed. The economic capital model accounts for the unique 
and specific nature of the risks inherent in MetLife's and the Company's      
business.                                                                     

MetLife's economic capital model aligns segment allocated equity with     
emerging standards and consistent risk principles. The model applies          
statistics-based risk evaluation principles to the material risks to which the
Company is exposed. These consistent risk principles include calibrating      
required economic capital shock factors to a specific confidence level and    
time horizon and applying an industry standard method for the inclusion of    
diversification benefits among risk types.                                    

Segment net investment income is credited or charged based on the level of
allocated equity; however, changes in allocated equity do not impact the      
Company's consolidated net investment income, operating earnings or income    
(loss) from continuing operations, net of income tax.                         

Net investment income is based upon the actual results of each segment's  
specifically identifiable investment portfolios adjusted for allocated equity.
Other costs are allocated to each of the segments based upon: (i) a review of 
the nature of such costs; (ii) time studies analyzing the amount of employee  
compensation costs incurred by each segment; and (iii) cost estimates included
in the Company's product pricing.

shares of common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MetLife Europe Limited

 Defined as the death benefit less the total contract account value, as of
the balance sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the      
Company would incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the      
balance sheet date and includes any additional contractual claims associated
  with riders purchased to assist with covering income taxes payable upon death.

total contract account value to purchase a lifetime income stream, based on 
current annuity rates, equal to the minimum amount provided under the       
guaranteed benefit. This amount represents the Company's potential economic 
exposure to such guarantees in the event all contractholders were to        
annuitize on the balance sheet date, even though the contracts contain terms
that allow annuitization of the guaranteed amount only after the 10th       
anniversary of the contract, which not all contractholders have achieved.   

Universal and Variable Life Contracts                                         

Defined as the guarantee amount less the account value, as of the balance 
sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the Company would incur
if death claims were filed on all contracts on the balance sheet date.        

 The amounts in the table below include direct business, but exclude offsets
from hedging or reinsurance, if any. See Note 6 for a discussion of certain   
living and death benefit guarantees which have been reinsured. Therefore, the 
NARs presented below reflect the economic exposures of living and death       
benefit guarantees associated with variable annuities, but not necessarily    
their impact on the Company.

Obligations Under Funding Agreements                                            

The Company issues fixed and floating rate funding agreements, which are    
denominated in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies, to certain special    
purpose entities ("SPEs") that have issued either debt securities or commercial 
paper for which payment of interest and principal is secured by such funding    
agreements. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the        
Company issued $10.9 billion, $10.3 billion and $12.5 billion, respectively,    
and repaid $11.7 billion, $9.6 billion and $13.4 billion, respectively, of such 
funding agreements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, liabilities for funding      
agreements outstanding, which are included in PABs, were $5.3 billion and $6.1  
billion, respectively.

(1)Represents funding agreements issued to the applicable FHLBank in exchange   
for cash and for which such FHLBank has been granted a lien on certain    
assets, some of which are in the custody of such FHLBank, including       
residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), to collateralize         
obligations under advances evidenced by funding agreements. The Company is
permitted to withdraw any portion of the collateral in the custody of such
 FHLBank as long as there is no event of default and the remaining qualified
collateral is sufficient to satisfy the collateral maintenance level. Upon
any event of default by the Company, such FHLBank's recovery on the       
collateral is limited to the amount of the Company's liability to such    
FHLBank.

(3)Represents funding agreements issued to certain SPEs that have issued debt   
securities for which payment of interest and principal is secured by such 
funding agreements, and such debt securities are also guaranteed as to    
  payment of interest and principal by Farmer Mac. The obligations under these
 funding agreements are secured by a pledge of certain eligible agricultural
 real estate mortgage loans and may, under certain circumstances, be secured
by other qualified collateral. The amount of collateral presented is at   
carrying value.

(1)During 2013, 2012 and 2011, claims and claim adjustment expenses associated  
  with prior years changed due to differences between the actual benefits paid

Separate account assets and liabilities primarily include pass-through      
separate accounts totaling $97.6 billion and $85.9 billion at December 31, 2013 
and 2012, respectively, for which the policyholder assumes all investment risk. 

For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no         
investment gains (losses) on transfers of assets from the general account to    
the separate accounts.

5.Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other       
Policy-Related Intangibles (continued)                                      

Nonparticipating and Non-Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts                  

 The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these contracts (primarily term
insurance) over the appropriate premium paying period in proportion to the      
historic actual and expected future gross premiums that were set at contract    
issue. The expected premiums are based upon the premium requirement of each     
policy and assumptions for mortality, persistency and investment returns at     
policy issuance, or policy acquisition (as it relates to VOBA), include         
provisions for adverse deviation, and are consistent with the assumptions used  
to calculate future policyholder benefit liabilities. These assumptions are not 
revised after policy issuance or acquisition unless the DAC or VOBA balance is  
deemed to be unrecoverable from future expected profits. Absent a premium       
deficiency, variability in amortization after policy issuance or acquisition is 
caused only by variability in premium volumes.                                  

Participating, Dividend-Paying Traditional Contracts                            

 The Company amortizes DAC related to these contracts over the estimated lives
of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross margins. The 
amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception or         
acquisition of the contracts. The future gross margins are dependent            
principally on investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, mortality,     
persistency, expenses to administer the business, creditworthiness of           
reinsurance counterparties and certain economic variables, such as inflation.   
Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses,    
persistency and other factor changes, as well as policyholder dividend scales   
are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC amortization.     
Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated gross margins with the 
actual gross margins for that period. When the actual gross margins change from 
previously estimated gross margins, the cumulative DAC amortization is          
re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to current           
operations. When actual gross margins exceed those previously estimated, the    
DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to         
earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual gross margins are below    
the previously estimated gross margins. Each reporting period, the Company also 
updates the actual amount of business in-force, which impacts expected future   
gross margins. When expected future gross margins are below those previously    
estimated, the DAC amortization will increase, resulting in a current period    
charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross   
margins are above the previously estimated expected future gross margins. Each  
period, the Company also reviews the estimated gross margins for each block of  
business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances.                       

Fixed and Variable Universal Life Contracts and Fixed and Variable Deferred     
Annuity Contracts                                                               

The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these contracts over the      
estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future    
gross profits. The amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at   
inception or acquisition of the contracts. The amount of future gross profits   
is dependent principally upon returns in excess of the amounts credited to      
policyholders, mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, expenses to    
administer the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, the    
effect of any hedges used and certain economic variables, such as inflation. Of 
these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses and    
persistency are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC and   
VOBA amortization. Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated     
gross profits with the actual gross profits for that period. When the actual    
gross profits change from previously estimated gross profits, the

cumulative DAC and VOBA amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a          
cumulative charge or credit to current operations. When actual gross profits    
exceed those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA amortization will increase, 
resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs    
when the actual gross profits are below the previously estimated gross profits. 
Each reporting period, the Company also updates the actual amount of business   
remaining in-force, which impacts expected future gross profits. When expected  
future gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA     
amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings.   
The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the 
previously estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company    
also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to          
determine the recoverability of DAC and VOBA balances.                          

Factors Impacting Amortization                                                  

Separate account rates of return on variable universal life contracts and   
variable deferred annuity contracts affect in-force account balances on such    
contracts each reporting period, which can result in significant fluctuations   
in amortization of DAC and VOBA. Returns that are higher than the Company's     
long-term expectation produce higher account balances, which increases the      
Company's future fee expectations and decreases future benefit payment          
expectations on minimum death and living benefit guarantees, resulting in       
higher expected future gross profits. The opposite result occurs when returns   
are lower than the Company's long-term expectation. The Company's practice to   
determine the impact of gross profits resulting from returns on separate        
accounts assumes that long-term appreciation in equity markets is not changed   
by short-term market fluctuations, but is only changed when sustained interim   
deviations are expected. The Company monitors these events and only changes the 
assumption when its long-term expectation changes.                              

The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying
the projections of estimated gross margins and profits. These assumptions       
primarily relate to investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, interest  
crediting rates, mortality, persistency and expenses to administer business.    
Management annually updates assumptions used in the calculation of estimated    
gross margins and profits which may have significantly changed. If the update   
of assumptions causes expected future gross margins and profits to increase,    
DAC and VOBA amortization will decrease, resulting in a current period increase 
to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the assumption update causes       
expected future gross margins and profits to decrease.                          

Periodically, the Company modifies product benefits, features, rights or    
coverages that occur by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by    
amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by election or coverage      
within a contract. If such modification, referred to as an internal             
replacement, substantially changes the contract, the associated DAC or VOBA is  
written off immediately through income and any new deferrable costs associated  
with the replacement contract are deferred. If the modification does not        
substantially change the contract, the DAC or VOBA amortization on the original 
contract will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related    
modification are expensed.                                                      

Amortization of DAC and VOBA is attributed to net investment gains (losses) 
and net derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of      
gross margins or profits originating from transactions other than investment    
gains and losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount   
of DAC and VOBA that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had     
been recognized.

(1)The year ended December 31, 2013 includes $138 million that was reclassified 
to DAC from premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. The amounts      
reclassified relate to an affiliated reinsurance agreement accounted for  
  using the deposit method of accounting and represent the DAC amortization on
 the expense allowances ceded on the agreement from inception. These amounts
were previously included in the calculated value of the deposit receivable
on this agreement and recorded within premiums, reinsurance and other     
receivables.

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements primarily as a purchaser of  
reinsurance for its various insurance products and also as a provider of        
reinsurance for some insurance products issued by affiliated and unaffiliated   
companies. The Company participates in reinsurance activities in order to limit 
losses, minimize exposure to significant risks and provide additional capacity  
for future growth.

6. Reinsurance (continued)                                                      

Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and        
estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying     
business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company     
periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the          
aforementioned assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to 
ceded and assumed reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of           
counterparties to its reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that     
evaluated in the security impairment process discussed in Note 7.               

Retail                                                                          

The Company's Retail Annuities business reinsures 100% of the living and    
death benefit guarantees issued in connection with most of its variable         
annuities issued since 2006 to an affiliated reinsurer and certain portions of  
the living and death benefit guarantees issued in connection with its variable  
annuities issued prior to 2006 to affiliated and unaffiliated reinsurers. Under 
these reinsurance agreements, the Company pays a reinsurance premium generally  
based on fees associated with the guarantees collected from policyholders, and  
receives reimbursement for benefits paid or accrued in excess of account        
values, subject to certain limitations. The Company also reinsures 90% of its   
fixed annuities to an affiliated reinsurer. The value of the embedded           
derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with 
the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input  
for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer.              

For its Retail Life & Other insurance products, the Company has historically
reinsured the mortality risk primarily on an excess of retention basis or on a  
quota share basis. The Company currently reinsures 100% of the mortality risk   
in excess of $100,000 per life for most new policies and reinsures up to 100%   
of the mortality risk for certain other policies. In addition to reinsuring     
mortality risk as described above, the Company reinsures other risks, as well   
as specific coverages. Placement of reinsurance is done primarily on an         
automatic basis and also on a facultative basis for risks with specified        
characteristics. The Company also reinsures the risk associated with secondary  
death benefit guarantees on certain universal life insurance policies to        
affiliates. The Company evaluates its reinsurance programs routinely and may    
increase or decrease its retention at any time.                                 

Corporate Benefit Funding                                                       

The Company's Corporate Benefit Funding segment has periodically engaged in 
reinsurance activities, on an opportunistic basis. The impact of these          
activities on the financial results of this segment has not been significant    
and there were no additional transactions during the periods presented.         

Corporate & Other                                                               

The Company also reinsures, through 100% quota share reinsurance agreements,
certain run-off LTC and workers' compensation business written by the Company.  

Catastrophe Coverage                                                            

The Company has exposure to catastrophes, which could contribute to         
significant fluctuations in the Company's results of operations. The Company    
uses excess of retention and quota share reinsurance agreements to provide      
greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks.

Reinsurance Recoverables                                                        

The Company reinsures its business through a diversified group of           
well-capitalized reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration  
and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, with its reinsurers. The Company   
monitors ratings and evaluates the financial strength of its reinsurers by      
analyzing their financial statements. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable  
balance due from each reinsurer is evaluated as part of the overall monitoring  
process. Recoverability of reinsurance recoverable balances is evaluated based  
on these analyses. The Company generally secures large reinsurance recoverable  
balances with various forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds      
withheld accounts and irrevocable letters of credit. These reinsurance          
recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible

Effective October 1, 2012, MLI-USA entered into a reinsurance agreement to  
cede two blocks of business to MRD, on a 90% coinsurance with funds withheld    
basis. The agreement covers certain term and certain universal life policies    
issued in 2012 by MLI-USA and was amended in 2013 to include certain term and   
universal life policies issued by MLI-USA through December 31, 2013. The        
agreement transfers risk to MRD and, therefore, is accounted for as             
reinsurance. As a result of the agreement, affiliated reinsurance recoverables, 
included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables, were $917 million and  
$407 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. MLI-USA also recorded 
a funds withheld liability and other reinsurance payables, included in other    
liabilities, which were $798 million and $438 million at December 31, 2013 and  
2012, respectively. Certain contractual features of this agreement qualify as   
embedded derivatives, which are separately accounted for at fair value on the   
Company's consolidated balance sheets. The embedded derivative related to the   
funds withheld associated with this reinsurance agreement is included within    
other liabilities and was ($14) million and $6 million at December 31, 2013 and 
2012, respectively. The Company's consolidated statements of operations         
reflected a loss for this agreement of $50 million and $37 million for the      
years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which included net        
derivative gains (losses) of $20 million and ($6) million for the years ended   
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the embedded derivative.   

The Company ceded risks to affiliates related to guaranteed minimum benefit 
guarantees written directly by the Company. These ceded reinsurance agreements  
contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair value are also included  
within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded derivatives associated with  
the cessions are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables    
and were assets of $912 million and $3.6 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. Net derivative gains (losses) associated with the embedded        
derivatives were ($3.0) billion, $524 million, and $1.6 billion for the years   
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

funds withheld associated with this reinsurance agreement is included within    
other liabilities and increased the funds withheld balance by $48 million and   
$546 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net derivative gains  
(losses) associated with the embedded derivatives were $498 million, ($107)     
million and ($434) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and      
2011, respectively.                                                             

 The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various
forms of collateral, including secured trusts, funds withheld accounts and      
irrevocable letters of credit. The Company had $5.9 billion and $6.1 billion of 
unsecured affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and  
2012, respectively.                                                             

Affiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a       
reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded   
using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on affiliated        
reinsurance were $4.4 billion and $4.6 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012,   
respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on affiliated reinsurance at    
both December 31, 2013 and 2012.                                                

7. Investments                                                                  

 See Note 9 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and
the related valuation methodologies.                                            

Investment Risks and Uncertainties                                              

Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit,   
interest rate, liquidity, market valuation, currency and real estate risk. The  
financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those       
associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished      
ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the 
recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments    
and the potential consolidation of VIEs. The use of different methodologies,    
assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement risks may have a   
material effect on the amounts presented within the consolidated financial      
statements.                                                                     

The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly         
subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments of known and  
inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and 
assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes        
available.                                                                      

 The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. structured securities,
including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities ("ABS") and       
certain structured investment transactions) is dependent upon certain factors   
such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors could result in   
changes in amounts to be earned.

The Company held non-income producing fixed maturity securities with an   
estimated fair value of $30 million and $22 million with unrealized gains     
(losses) of $6 million and $3 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012,          
respectively.                                                                 

Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on          
Structured Securities                                                           

Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on structured securities
considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying    
loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective    
yields are recalculated when differences arise between the originally         
anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated.    
Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and   
ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based
on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive         
mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the      
effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other         
mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a             
retrospective basis.

Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS 
Securities                                                                      

Evaluation and Measurement Methodologies                                    

  Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and
uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the        
estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for     
near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are 
assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future 
earnings potential. Considerations used in the impairment evaluation process
include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to   
which the estimated fair value has been below cost or amortized cost;       
(ii) the potential for impairments when the issuer is experiencing          
 significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an
entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in 
certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for  
impairments where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a  
catastrophic loss or has exhausted

natural resources; (vi) with respect to fixed maturity securities, whether  
the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required 
to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value    
below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, 
changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the quality of underlying
 collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity,
consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a       
 particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of
the security; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations 
and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies.               

The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of  
credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows:                    

  .  The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash
flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The  
  discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security
prior to impairment.                                                

.  When determining collectability and the period over which value is     
   expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its
overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information
regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and   
geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall  
     macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using
assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely      
scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of  
variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the
 security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and
  principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements;
the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; 
possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and 
   changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.

.  Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features  
  that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited
 to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds,
    current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms
    of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the
payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.      

.  When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign    
corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and   
    political subdivision securities, the estimated fair value is considered
the recovery value when available information does not indicate that
  another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that
  indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management
    considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations
     utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process as described above,
 as well as any private and public sector programs to restructure such
securities.                                                         

With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity      
 (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as
to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and 
the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe  
and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to    
whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless
of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has
 occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid
security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to 
earnings.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

7. Investments (continued)                                                      

The cost or amortized cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is   
adjusted for OTTI in the period in which the determination is made. The     
Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in 
value.                                                                      

In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity    
security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been  
purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the       
discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over  
the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner   
based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.              

Current Period Evaluation                                                   

Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an   
unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the  
Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of  
security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these         
securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not         
 other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend
primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in
 the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected), and changes
in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. 
If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the 
above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods.                    

   Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased $436 million
during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $275 million to $711 million.  
 The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2013,
 was primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates, partially offset
by narrowing credit spreads.                                                

At December 31, 2013, $61 million of the total $711 million of gross    
unrealized losses were from 18 fixed maturity securities with an unrealized 
loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or greater.   

Investment Grade Fixed Maturity Securities                                  

  Of the $61 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities
with an unrealized loss of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or  
greater, $41 million, or 67%, are related to gross unrealized losses on 13  
investment grade fixed maturity securities. Unrealized losses on investment 
grade fixed maturity securities are principally related to widening credit  
spreads, and with respect to fixed-rate fixed maturity securities, rising   
interest rates since purchase.                                              

Below Investment Grade Fixed Maturity Securities                            

  Of the $61 million of gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities
with an unrealized loss of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or  
greater, $20 million, or 33%, are related to gross unrealized losses on five
below investment grade fixed maturity securities. Unrealized losses on below
investment grade fixed maturity securities are principally related to       
non-agency RMBS (primarily alternative residential mortgage loans) and are  
the result of significantly wider credit spreads resulting from higher risk 
premiums since purchase, largely due to economic and market uncertainties   
including concerns over unemployment levels and valuations of residential   
real estate supporting non-agency RMBS. Management evaluates non-agency RMBS

Gross unrealized losses on equity securities increased $5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2013 from $23 million to $28 million. Of the $28
million, $5 million were from two equity securities with gross unrealized

Valuation Allowance Methodology                                             

Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that,  
based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to    
collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. Specific valuation        
allowances are established using the same methodology for both portfolio    
segments as the excess carrying

value of a loan over either (i) the present value of expected future cash   
flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, (ii) the   
estimated fair value of the loan's underlying collateral if the loan is in  
the process of foreclosure or otherwise collateral dependent, or (iii) the  
loan's observable market price. A common evaluation framework is used for   
establishing non-specific valuation allowances for both loan portfolio      
segments; however, a separate non-specific valuation allowance is calculated
 and maintained for each loan portfolio segment that is based on inputs unique
to each loan portfolio segment. Non-specific valuation allowances are       
established for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics where a    
property-specific or market-specific risk has not been identified, but for  
 which the Company expects to incur a credit loss. These evaluations are based
 upon several loan portfolio segment-specific factors, including the Company's
 experience for loan losses, defaults and loss severity, and loss expectations
 for loans with similar risk characteristics. These evaluations are revised as
conditions change and new information becomes available.                    

Commercial and Agricultural Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segments                

The Company typically uses several years of historical experience in    
establishing non-specific valuation allowances which captures multiple      
 economic cycles. For evaluations of commercial mortgage loans, in addition to
historical experience, management considers factors that include the impact 
of a rapid change to the economy, which may not be reflected in the loan    
portfolio, and recent loss and recovery trend experience as compared to     
historical loss and recovery experience. For evaluations of agricultural    
mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers  
factors that include increased stress in certain sectors, which may be      
evidenced by higher delinquency rates, or a change in the number of higher  
 risk loans. On a quarterly basis, management incorporates the impact of these
current market events and conditions on historical experience in determining
the non-specific valuation allowance established for commercial and         
agricultural mortgage loans.                                                

All commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis which may
 include an analysis of the property financial statements and rent roll, lease
rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated         
valuations of the underlying collateral, loan-to-value ratios, debt service 
 coverage ratios, and tenant creditworthiness. All agricultural mortgage loans
are monitored on an ongoing basis. The monitoring process focuses on higher 
risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured,        
delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher loan-to-value    
ratios and lower debt service coverage ratios. The monitoring process for   
agricultural mortgage loans is generally similar to the commercial mortgage 
 loan monitoring process, with a focus on higher risk loans, including reviews
on a geographic and property-type basis. Higher risk loans are reviewed     
individually on an ongoing basis for potential credit loss and specific     
valuation allowances are established using the methodology described above. 
Quarterly, the remaining loans are reviewed on a pool basis by aggregating  
groups of loans that have similar risk characteristics for potential credit 
loss, and non-specific valuation allowances are established as described    
above using inputs that are unique to each segment of the loan portfolio.   

  For commercial mortgage loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the
 debt service coverage ratio, which compares a property's net operating income
to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. 
Generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of
experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the loan-to-value ratio
of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio. Loan-to-value ratios compare the 
unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the     
underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the   
higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The debt service coverage    
ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating
 these ratios, are updated annually, on a rolling basis, with a portion of the
loan portfolio updated each quarter.

For agricultural mortgage loans, the Company's primary credit quality

(1)Valuation allowance on agricultural mortgage loans was less than $1 million  
for the year ended December 31, 2013.                                     

Unpaid principal balance is generally prior to any charge-offs. Interest  
income recognized is primarily cash basis income. The average recorded        
investment for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans was $29 million and 
$4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011; and interest  
income recognized for commercial and agricultural mortgage loans was $2       
million and $0, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011.           

Mortgage Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring                      

For a small portion of the mortgage loan portfolio, classified as troubled
debt restructurings, concessions are granted related to borrowers experiencing
financial difficulties. Generally, the types of concessions include: reduction
of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an        
interest rate lower than current market interest rates, and/or a reduction of 
accrued interest. The amount, timing and extent of the concession granted is  
considered in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation 
allowance recorded

with the restructuring. Through the continuous monitoring process, a specific 
valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the      
mortgage loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the  
carrying value (after specific valuation allowance) before and after          
modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change             
significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the    
pre-modification recovery assessment.                                         

The Company had one agricultural mortgage loan modified in a troubled debt  
restructuring with a pre-modification and post-modification carrying value of   
$4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no agricultural  
mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during the year ended  
December 31, 2012. There were no commercial mortgage loans modified in a        
troubled debt restructuring during the year ended December 31, 2013. The        
Company had one commercial mortgage loan modified during the year ended         
December 31, 2012 in a troubled debt restructuring which had a carrying value   
after specific valuation allowance of $53 million pre-modification and $48      
million post-modification.                                                      

There were no mortgage loans during the previous 12 months modified in a    
troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default at December 31,   
2013 and 2012. Payment default is determined in the same manner as delinquency  
status as described above.

Rental receivables are generally due in periodic installments. The payment
periods range from two to 19 years. For rental receivables, the primary credit
quality indicator is whether the rental receivable is performing or           
nonperforming, which is assessed monthly. The Company generally defines       
nonperforming rental receivables as those that are 90 days or more past due.  
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, all rental receivables were performing.        

The deferred income tax liability related to leveraged leases was $63     
million and $53 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

7. Investments (continued)                                                      

are classified as purchased credit impaired ("PCI") investments. For each       
investment, the excess of the cash flows expected to be collected as of the     
acquisition date over its acquisition date fair value is referred to as the     
accretable yield and is recognized as net investment income on an effective     
yield basis. If subsequently, based on current information and events, it is    
probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected 
to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash     
flows previously expected to be collected, the accretable yield is adjusted     
prospectively. The excess of the contractually required payments (including     
interest) as of the acquisition date over the cash flows expected to be         
collected as of the acquisition date is referred to as the nonaccretable        
difference, and this amount is not expected to be realized as net investment    
income. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected can result in OTTI.    

The Company's PCI fixed maturity securities were as follows at:

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

7. Investments (continued)                                                      

Collectively Significant Equity Method Investments                              

The Company holds investments in real estate joint ventures, real estate    
funds and other limited partnership interests consisting of leveraged buy-out   
funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, joint ventures and other funds. The   
portion of these investments accounted for under the equity method had a        
carrying value of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2013. The Company's maximum      
exposure to loss related to these equity method investments is limited to the   
carrying value of these investments plus unfunded commitments of $862 million   
at December 31, 2013. Except for certain real estate joint ventures, the        
Company's investments in real estate funds and other limited partnership        
interests are generally of a passive nature in that the Company does not        
participate in the management of the entities.                                  

As described in Note 1, the Company generally records its share of earnings 
in its equity method investments using a three-month lag methodology and within 
net investment income. Aggregate net investment income from these equity method 
investments exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated pre-tax income (loss)    
from continuing operations. This aggregated summarized financial data does not  
represent the Company's proportionate share of the assets, liabilities, or      
earnings of such entities.                                                      

The aggregated summarized financial data presented below reflects the latest
available financial information and is as of, and for, the years ended          
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. Aggregate total assets of these entities      
totaled $217.3 billion and $178.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012,        
respectively. Aggregate total liabilities of these entities totaled $16.3       
billion and $12.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.          
Aggregate net income (loss) of these entities totaled $20.9 billion, $13.1      
billion and $7.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011,  
respectively. Aggregate net income (loss) from the underlying entities in which 
the Company invests is primarily comprised of investment income, including      
recurring investment income and realized and unrealized investment gains        
(losses).                                                                       

Variable Interest Entities                                                      

 The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In
certain instances, the Company holds both the power to direct the most          
significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the    
entity and, as such, is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or consolidator of 
the entity.                                                                     

The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of
the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's 
relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's     
expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such        
estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a    
qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary.        
However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles 
consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary 
is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will    
absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's     
expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected    
losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a          
quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in  
the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on    
the amounts presented within the consolidated financial statements.

  The following table presents the total assets and total liabilities relating
to VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary
and which are consolidated at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Creditors or        
beneficial interest holders of VIEs where the Company is the primary          
beneficiary have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, as the     
Company's obligation to the VIEs is limited to the amount of its committed    
investment.

(1)The Company consolidates entities that are structured as CMBS. The assets of 
 these entities can only be used to settle their respective liabilities, and
under no circumstances is the Company liable for any principal or interest
shortfalls should any arise. The Company's exposure was limited to that of
its remaining investment in these entities of $120 million and $92 million
at estimated fair value at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The  
  long-term debt bears interest primarily at fixed rates ranging from 2.25% to
5.57%, payable primarily on a monthly basis. Interest expense related to  
these obligations, included in other expenses, was $122 million, $163     
million and $322 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and  
2011, respectively.

(1)The maximum exposure to loss relating to fixed maturity securities AFS is    
equal to their carrying amounts or the carrying amounts of retained       
interests. The maximum exposure to loss relating to other limited         
partnership interests and real estate joint ventures is equal to the      
carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitments of the Company. For its    
  investments in other invested assets, the Company's return is in the form of
income tax credits. For such investments, the maximum exposure to loss is 
equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded commitment. Such a maximum
loss would be expected to occur only upon bankruptcy of the issuer or     
investee.

of a passive investor.                                                    

As described in Note 15, the Company makes commitments to fund partnership
investments in the normal course of business. Excluding these commitments, the
Company did not provide financial or other support to investees designated as 
VIEs during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Accounting for Derivatives                                                      

See Note 1 for a description of the Company's accounting policies for       
derivatives and Note 9 for information about the fair value hierarchy for       
derivatives.                                                                    

Derivative Strategies                                                           

The Company is exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business    
operations, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, credit and 
equity market. The Company uses a variety of strategies to manage these risks,  
including the use of derivatives.                                               

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial   
indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the

over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives are   
cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"),    
while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties                 
("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps,     
forwards, futures and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses    
credit default swaps to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns    
which are not readily available in the cash market.                             

Interest Rate Derivatives                                                     

The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its       
exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, caps,     
floors, futures and forwards.                                                   

Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks
from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from 
mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an interest 
rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified      
intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts 
as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. The Company utilizes   
interest rate swaps in fair value, cash flow and non-qualifying hedging         
relationships.                                                                  

The Company purchases interest rate caps and floors primarily to protect its
floating rate liabilities against rises in interest rates above a specified     
level, and against interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between       
assets and liabilities, as well as to protect its minimum rate guarantee        
liabilities against declines in interest rates below a specified level,         
respectively. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of 
existing purchased caps and floors by entering into offsetting written caps and 
floors. The Company utilizes interest rate caps and floors in non-qualifying    
hedging relationships.                                                          

In exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and swap) futures transactions,  
the Company agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the     
value of which is determined by the different classes of interest rate          
securities, and to post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to 
the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The Company       
enters into exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants 
that are members of the exchange. Exchange-traded interest rate (Treasury and   
swap) futures are used primarily to hedge mismatches between the duration of    
assets in a portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those        
assets, to hedge against changes in value of securities the Company owns or     
anticipates acquiring and to hedge against changes in interest rates on         
anticipated liability issuances by replicating Treasury or swap curve           
performance. The Company utilizes exchange-traded interest rate futures in      
non-qualifying hedging relationships.                                           

Inflation swaps are used as an economic hedge to reduce inflation risk      
generated from inflation-indexed liabilities. Inflation swaps are included in   
interest rate swaps. The Company utilizes inflation swaps in non-qualifying     
hedging relationships.                                                          

The Company enters into interest rate forwards to buy and sell securities.  
The price is agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a     
contract is made at a specified future date. The Company utilizes interest rate 
forwards in cash flow hedging relationships.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives                                    

  The Company uses foreign currency swaps to reduce the risk from fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the
Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the    
difference between one currency and another at a fixed exchange rate,         
generally set at inception, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional
amount. The notional amount of each currency is exchanged at the inception and
termination of the currency swap by each party. The Company utilizes foreign  
currency swaps in fair value, cash flow and non-qualifying hedging            
relationships.                                                                

To a lesser extent, the Company uses foreign currency forwards in         
non-qualifying hedging relationships.                                         

Credit Derivatives                                                            

The Company enters into purchased credit default swaps to hedge against   
credit-related changes in the value of its investments. In a credit default   
swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to pay, at specified  
intervals, a premium to hedge credit risk. If a credit event occurs, as       
defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled
gross by the delivery of par quantities of the referenced investment equal to 
the specified swap notional in exchange for the payment of cash amounts by the
counterparty equal to the par value of the investment surrendered. Credit     
events vary by type of issuer but typically include bankruptcy, failure to pay
debt obligations, repudiation, moratorium, or involuntary restructuring. In   
each case, payout on a credit default swap is triggered only after the Credit 
Derivatives Determinations Committee of the International Swaps and           
Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") deems that a credit event has occurred.
The Company utilizes credit default swaps in non-qualifying hedging           
relationships.                                                                

  The Company enters into written credit default swaps to synthetically create
credit investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise     
unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a    
derivative and one or more cash instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities,
agency securities or other fixed maturity securities. These credit default    
swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.                              

  To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit forwards to lock in the price to
be paid for forward purchases of certain securities. The Company utilizes     
credit forwards in cash flow hedging relationships.                           

Equity Derivatives                                                            

The Company uses a variety of equity derivatives to reduce its exposure to
equity market risk, including equity index options, variance swaps and        
exchange-traded equity futures.                                               

Equity index options are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum   
guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the       
Company. To hedge against adverse changes in equity indices, the Company      
enters into contracts to sell the equity index within a limited time at a     
contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on          
differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price. In 
certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination of transactions to
hedge adverse changes in equity indices within a pre-determined range through 
the purchase and sale of options. The Company utilizes equity index options in
non-qualifying hedging relationships.                                         

Equity variance swaps are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum  
guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the       
Company. In an equity variance swap, the Company agrees with another party to 
exchange amounts in the future, based on changes in equity volatility over a  
defined period. The Company utilizes equity variance swaps in non-qualifying  
hedging relationships.

In exchange-traded equity futures transactions, the Company agrees to     
purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is       
determined by the different classes of equity securities, and to post         
variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the 
daily market values of those contracts. The Company enters into               
exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are  
members of the exchange. Exchange-traded equity futures are used primarily to 
hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products offered by the
Company. The Company utilizes exchange-traded equity futures in non-qualifying
hedging relationships.                                                        

To a lesser extent, the Company also uses total rate of return swaps      
("TRRs") to hedge its equity market guarantees in certain of its insurance    
products. The Company utilizes TRRs in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

8. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

 Based on notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company's derivatives
was not designated or did not qualify as part of a hedging relationship at both 
December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company's use of derivatives includes           
(i) derivatives that serve as macro hedges of the Company's exposure to various 
risks and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the         
criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules; (ii) derivatives that      
economically hedge insurance liabilities that contain mortality or morbidity    
risk and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting because the lack of 
these risks in the derivatives cannot support an expectation of a highly        
effective hedging relationship; (iii) derivatives that economically hedge       
embedded derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting because the       
changes in estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives are already         
recorded in net income; and (iv) written credit default swaps that are used to  
synthetically create credit investments and that do not qualify for hedge       
accounting because they do not involve a hedging relationship. For these        
non-qualified derivatives, changes in market factors can lead to the            
recognition of fair value changes in the consolidated statement of operations   
without an offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the item being    
hedged.

(1)Fixed rate liabilities reported in PABs or future policy benefits.           

(2)Fixed rate or floating rate liabilities.                                     

All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the       
assessment of hedge effectiveness.                                              

Cash Flow Hedges                                                                

The Company designates and accounts for the following as cash flow hedges   
when they have met the requirements of cash flow hedging: (i) interest rate     
swaps to convert floating rate assets and liabilities to fixed rate assets and  
liabilities; (ii) foreign currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency cash     
flow exposure of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities;           
(iii) interest rate forwards and credit forwards to lock in the price to be     
paid for forward purchases of investments; and (iv) interest rate swaps and     
interest rate forwards to hedge the forecasted purchases of fixed-rate          
investments.                                                                    

In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting   
because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring.       
Because certain of the forecasted transactions also were not probable of        
occurring within two months of the anticipated date, the Company reclassified   
certain amounts from AOCI into net derivative gains (losses). These amounts     
were $0 for both years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and $1 million for the  
year ended December 31, 2011.                                                   

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the maximum length of time over which the    
Company was hedging its exposure to variability in future cash flows for        
forecasted transactions did not exceed six years and seven years, respectively.

All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the       
assessment of hedge effectiveness.                                              

At December 31, 2013, $1 million of deferred net gains (losses) on          
derivatives in AOCI was expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 
12 months.                                                                      

Credit Derivatives                                                              

In connection with synthetically created credit investment transactions, the
Company writes credit default swaps for which it receives a premium to insure   
credit risk. Such credit derivatives are included within the non-qualifying     
derivatives and derivatives for purposes other than hedging table. If a credit  
event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or   
it may be settled gross by the Company paying the counterparty the specified    
swap notional amount in exchange for the delivery of par quantities of the      
referenced credit obligation. The Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming    
the value of all referenced credit obligations is zero, was $2.2 billion and    
$2.5 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company can       
terminate these contracts at any time through cash settlement with the          
counterparty at an amount equal to the then current fair value of the credit    
default swaps. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company would have received   
$38 million and $22 million, respectively, to terminate all of these contracts.

 the applicable ratings among Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), S&P and
Fitch Ratings. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an

Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives                                         

The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of         
nonperformance by counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit  
exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated  
fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration 
the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral        
received pursuant to such agreements.

8. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into 
transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring   
exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are        
generally governed by ISDA Master Agreements which provide for legally          
enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific              
counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which        
includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event 
of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set off receivables from   
the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all   
included transactions. Substantially all of the Company's ISDA Master           
Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the  
pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral       
derivatives.                                                                    

The Company's OTC-cleared derivatives are effected through central clearing 
counterparties and its exchange-traded derivatives are effected through         
regulated exchanges. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a      
daily basis, and the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in   
the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivatives. See Note 9   
for a description of the impact of credit risk on the valuation of derivatives. 

The estimated fair value of the Company's net derivative assets and net     
derivative liabilities after the application of master netting agreements and   
collateral was as follows at:

8. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

--------                                                                        

(1)At December 31, 2013 and 2012, derivative assets include income or expense   
accruals reported in accrued investment income or in other liabilities of 
$40 million and $66 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities     
 include income or expense accruals reported in accrued investment income or
in other liabilities of $25 million and $46 million, respectively.        

(2)Estimated fair value of derivatives is limited to the amount that is subject 
to set-off and includes income or expense accruals.                       

(3)Cash collateral received is included in cash and cash equivalents,           
 short-term investments, or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation
 to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned
and other transactions in the consolidated balance sheets. The receivable 
for the return of cash collateral provided by the Company is inclusive of 
initial margin on exchange-traded and OTC-cleared derivatives and is      
 included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated
balance sheets. The amount of cash collateral offset in the table above is
 limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of
netting agreements. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received   
excess cash collateral of $21 million and $0, respectively, and provided  
excess cash collateral of $19 million and $53 million, respectively, which
is not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation.       

(4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial  
 accounts and is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Subject to
certain constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or      
repledge this collateral, but at December 31, 2013 none of the collateral 
 had been sold or repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is
reported in fixed maturity securities in the consolidated balance sheets. 
  Subject to certain constraints, the counterparties are permitted by contract
to sell or repledge this collateral. The amount of securities collateral  
offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair value of   
 derivatives after application of netting agreements and cash collateral. At
December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company received excess securities        
  collateral with an estimated fair value of $34 million and $0, respectively,
  for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not included in the table above
 due to the foregoing limitation. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company
provided excess securities collateral with an estimated fair value of $1  
  million and $0, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, $29 million
and $0, respectively, for its OTC-cleared derivatives and $46 million and 
$0, respectively, for its exchange-traded derivatives, which are not      
included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation.              

The Company's collateral arrangements for its OTC-bilateral derivatives     
generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after           
considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the     
fair value of that counterparty's derivatives reaches a pre-determined          
threshold. Certain of these arrangements also include financial                 
strength-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds 
(on a sliding scale that converges toward zero) in the event of downgrades in   
the financial strength ratings of the Company and/or the credit ratings of the  
counterparty. In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for      
derivatives contain provisions that require both the Company and the            
counterparty to maintain a specific investment grade financial strength or      
credit rating from each of Moody's and S&P. If a party's financial strength or  
credit ratings were to fall below that specific investment grade financial      
strength or credit rating, that party would be in violation of these            
provisions, and the other party to the derivatives could terminate the          
transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on such party's  
reasonable valuation of the derivatives.

OTC-bilateral derivatives that are in a net liability position after            
considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair

presents the incremental collateral that the Company would be required to       
provide if there was a one notch downgrade in the Company's financial strength  
rating at the reporting date or if the Company's financial strength rating      
sustained a downgrade to a level that triggered full overnight                  
collateralization or termination of the derivative position at the reporting    
date. OTC-bilateral derivatives that are not subject to collateral agreements

The Company issues certain products or purchases certain investments that   
contain embedded derivatives that are required to be separated from their host  
contracts and accounted for as freestanding derivatives. These host contracts   
principally include: variable annuities with guaranteed minimum benefits,       
including GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs; affiliated ceded reinsurance of       
guaranteed minimum benefits related to GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs;          
affiliated assumed reinsurance of guaranteed minimum benefits related to GMWBs  
and certain GMIBs; funds withheld on ceded reinsurance; and certain debt and

8. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

The following table presents changes in estimated fair value related to     
embedded derivatives:                                                           

                                                                [Download Table]

                                             Years Ended December 31,

--------                                                                        

(1)The valuation of direct and assumed guaranteed minimum benefits includes a   
  nonperformance risk adjustment. The amounts included in net derivative gains
(losses), in connection with this adjustment, were ($156) million, ($235) 
million and $354 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and  
2011, respectively. In addition, the valuation of ceded guaranteed minimum
 benefits includes a nonperformance risk adjustment. The amounts included in
net derivative gains (losses) in connection with this adjustment, were    
$76 million, $124 million and ($476) million for the years ended          
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.                           

(2)See Note 6 for discussion of affiliated net derivative gains (losses)        
included in the table above.                                              

9. Fair Value                                                                   

When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad    
valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and    
(iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation  
technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of          
sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company            
categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a  
three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in  
its valuation. The input levels are as follows:                                 

Level 1  Unadjusted quoted prices in active   
   markets for identical assets or
    liabilities. The Company defines
   active markets based on average
         trading volume for equity securities.
     The size of the bid/ask spread is
  used as an indicator of market
activity for fixed maturity 
securities.                 

Level 2  Quoted prices in markets that are not
        active or inputs that are observable
        either directly or indirectly. These
        inputs can include quoted prices for
       similar assets or liabilities other
         than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted
  prices in markets that are not
       active, or other significant inputs
         that are observable or can be derived
       principally from or corroborated by
observable market data for  
      substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.      

Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are         
    supported by little or no market
       activity and are significant to the
         determination of estimated fair value
 of the assets or liabilities.
   Unobservable inputs reflect the
      reporting entity's own assumptions
     about the assumptions that market
         participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability.         

Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid       
depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The 
Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for      
these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and       
increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of        
certain securities.                                                             

Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to      
develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or        
valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value  
amounts.

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

(1)Short-term investments as presented in the tables above differ from the      
amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because certain      
short-term investments are not measured at estimated fair value on a      
recurring basis.                                                          

(2)Derivative assets are presented within other invested assets in the          
 consolidated balance sheets and derivative liabilities are presented within
other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts are     
presented gross in the tables above to reflect the presentation in the    
consolidated balance sheets, but are presented net for purposes of the    
rollforward in the Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable 
Inputs (Level 3) tables.                                                  

(3)Net embedded derivatives within asset host contracts are presented primarily 
within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated    
  balance sheets. Net embedded derivatives within liability host contracts are
presented primarily within PABs and other liabilities in the consolidated 
balance sheets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, equity securities also     
included embedded derivatives of ($30) million and ($14) million,         
respectively.                                                             

(4)Investment performance related to separate account assets is fully offset by 
corresponding amounts credited to contractholders whose liability is      
 reflected within separate account liabilities. Separate account liabilities
are set equal to the estimated fair value of separate account assets.     

The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets  
and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation           
techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are   
classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.              

Investments                                                                   

Valuation Controls and Procedures                                           

 On behalf of the Company and MetLife, Inc.'s Chief Investment Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is          
independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior  
management, provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for
securities, mortgage loans and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this      
committee reviews and approves new transaction types and markets, ensures   
that observable market prices and market-based parameters are used for      
valuation, wherever possible, and determines that judgmental valuation      
adjustments, when applied, are based upon established policies and are      
 applied consistently over time. This committee also provides oversight of the
selection of independent third party pricing providers and the controls and 
procedures to evaluate third party pricing. Periodically, the Chief         
Accounting Officer reports to MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's    
Audit Committee regarding compliance with fair value accounting standards.  

The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and 
revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market         
conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent
 application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with
fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure         
valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including
certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of
portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of 
executed prices of securities sold to the

fair value estimates, comparing fair value estimates to management's        
knowledge of the current market, reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess    
activity, comparing prices from multiple independent pricing services and   
ongoing due diligence to confirm that independent pricing services use      
market-based parameters. The process includes a determination of the        
observability of inputs used in estimated fair values received from         
 independent pricing services or brokers by assessing whether these inputs can
be corroborated by observable market data. The Company ensures that prices  
received from independent brokers, also referred to herein as "consensus    
pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of fair value by considering such 
pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of the current market dynamics  
and current pricing for similar financial instruments. While independent    
non-binding broker quotations are utilized, they are not used for a         
significant portion of the portfolio. For example, fixed maturity securities
 priced using independent non-binding broker quotations represent less than 1%
 of the total estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities and 11% of the
total estimated fair value of Level 3 fixed maturity securities.            

  The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received
from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of 
estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services  
are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of       
 estimated fair value, independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained,
or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed      
valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates
of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from  
 the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the
estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly,       
overrides were not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of
liquidity and nonperformance risks are generally based on available market  
evidence and estimates used by other market participants. In the absence of 
such market-based evidence, management's best estimate is used.             

Securities, Short-term Investments and Long-term Debt of CSEs               

  When available, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is
based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly     
obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities
holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's    
judgment.                                                                   

 When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination
of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies,
giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market  
standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with       
 reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the
market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable   
market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard  
valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated
fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived       
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These         
unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or  
estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even    
 though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent
with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities  
and are considered appropriate given the circumstances.                     

   The estimated fair value of long-term debt of CSEs is determined on a basis
consistent with the methodologies described herein for securities.

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

This level includes securities priced principally by independent pricing
services using observable inputs. Short-term investments within this level  
are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed maturity securities  
and equity securities.                                                      

U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities                           

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
 approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that
  are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use
standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off   
benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of   
identical or comparable securities. Privately-placed securities are valued
 using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs,
and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data       
including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices
and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that   
incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer, and in  
certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related
issues.                                                                   

U.S. Treasury and agency securities                                       

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not   
active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard
 market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the
spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and   
comparable securities that are actively traded.                           

Structured securities comprised of RMBS, ABS and CMBS                     

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted  
cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market 
inputs, including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off     
benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and     
 forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average
maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service      
coverage ratios and issuance-specific information, including, but not     
  limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment
  priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and
vintage of loans.                                                         

State and political subdivision and foreign government securities         

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
  Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques
 using standard market observable inputs including a benchmark U.S. Treasury
 yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads
and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same
sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating.                   

Common and non-redeemable preferred stock                                 

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
Valuations are based principally on observable inputs, including quoted   
prices in markets that are not considered active.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same   
 valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for Level 2. However,
if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and   
there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally       
classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations 
to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or a  
lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates,     
generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3.            

  Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class
to the Level 3 securities described below; accordingly, the valuation       
techniques and significant market standard observable inputs used in their  
valuation are also similar to those described below.                        

U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities                           

   These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities
classified within fixed maturity securities, are principally valued using 
the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or  
other similar techniques that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that  
cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market 
data, including illiquidity premium, delta spread adjustments to reflect  
 specific credit-related issues, credit spreads; and inputs including quoted
  prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on
lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2.   
Certain valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations.

Structured securities comprised of RMBS, ABS and CMBS                     

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted  
  cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques that utilize inputs that
 are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by,
observable market data, including credit spreads. Below investment grade  
securities and sub-prime RMBS included in this level are valued based on  
 inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that are
less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than securities 
 classified in Level 2. Certain of these valuations are based on independent
non-binding broker quotations.                                            

State and political subdivision and foreign government securities         

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
 Valuations are based primarily on independent non-binding broker quotations
  and inputs, including quoted prices for identical or similar securities that

pricing that utilize inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived

Common and non-redeemable preferred stock                                 

These securities, including privately-held securities and financial   
  services industry hybrid securities classified within equity securities, are
principally valued using the market and income approaches.

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted cash flow    
methodologies or other similar techniques using inputs such as comparable 
  credit rating and issuance structure. Certain of these securities are valued
 based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar securities
that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than   
securities classified in Level 2 and independent non-binding broker       
quotations.                                                               

Mortgage Loans Held by CSEs -- FVO                                          

The Company consolidates certain securitization entities that hold      
commercial mortgage loans.                                                  

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

These investments are principally valued using the market approach. The 
principal market for these investments is the securitization market. The    
 Company uses the quoted securitization market price of the obligations of the
CSEs to determine the estimated fair value of these commercial loan         
portfolios. These market prices are determined principally by independent   
pricing services using observable inputs.                                   

Separate Account Assets                                                     

   Separate account assets are carried at estimated fair value and reported as
a summarized total on the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair   
value of separate account assets is based on the estimated fair value of the
underlying assets. Separate account assets include: mutual funds, fixed     
maturity securities, equity securities, derivatives, other limited          
partnership interests, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents.

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

   These assets are comprised of investments that are similar in nature to the
instruments described under "-- Securities, Short-term Investments and      
Long-term Debt of CSEs." Also included are certain mutual funds without     
readily determinable fair values, as prices are not published publicly.     
Valuation of the mutual funds is based upon quoted prices or reported NAV   
provided by the fund managers.                                              

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

   These assets are comprised of investments that are similar in nature to the
instruments described under "-- Securities, Short-term Investments and      
Long-term Debt of CSEs." Also included are other limited partnership        
interests, which are valued giving consideration to the value of the        
underlying holdings of the partnerships and by applying a premium or        
 discount, if appropriate, for factors such as liquidity, bid/ask spreads, the
performance record of the fund manager or other relevant variables that may 
impact the exit value of the particular partnership interest.               

Derivatives                                                                   

The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of  
quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives, or through the use of   
pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The             
determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not      
available, is based on market standard

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

valuation methodologies and inputs that management believes are consistent    
with what other market participants would use when pricing such instruments.  
Derivative valuations can be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign   
currency exchange rates, financial indices, credit spreads, default risk,     
nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and changes in estimates and       
assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation controls and procedures 
for derivatives are described in "-- Investments."                            

The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and   
OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be
derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.         
Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates,     
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and      
volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may    
rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not  
observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or            
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are          
unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and   
inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve,    
credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable 
inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though 
unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given  
the circumstances and management believes they are consistent with what other 
market participants would use when pricing such instruments.                  

Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market  
inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are    
deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use
of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect
on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially
affect net income.                                                            

The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in
determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared    
derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure 
by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements   
and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and         
OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread 
to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This  
credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing 
levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its
significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing
levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are 
not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to     
consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting     
agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its      
significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to    
make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each      
reporting period.

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

 This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company with
the exception of exchange-traded derivatives included within Level 1 and    
those derivatives with unobservable inputs as described in Level 3. These   
derivatives are principally valued using the income approach.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach.     
Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques,
 whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models.
These valuation methodologies generally use the same inputs as described in 
the corresponding sections above for Level 2 measurements of derivatives.   
However, these derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or  
more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be
derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Non-option-based. Significant unobservable inputs may include the     
extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap yield curve and basis

Equity market

volatility.                                                               

Embedded Derivatives                                                          

Embedded derivatives principally include certain direct, assumed and ceded
variable annuity guarantees and embedded derivatives related to funds withheld
on ceded reinsurance. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair     
value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income.            

  The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum
benefits. GMWBs, GMABs and GMIBs contain embedded derivatives, which are      
measured at estimated fair value separately from the host variable annuity    
contract, with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative     
gains (losses). These embedded derivatives are classified within PABs in the  
consolidated balance sheets.                                                  

  The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value
of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees 
using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations         
concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial    
department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed   
using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows  
from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios  
using observable risk free rates.                                             

Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied           
volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to   
the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied           
volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable
implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions,      
including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and  
are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical       
experience.                                                                   

The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk 
adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market   
inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into            
consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the       
secondary market for MetLife's debt, including related credit default swaps.  
These observable spreads are then adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the      
priority of these liabilities and the claims paying ability of the issuing    
insurance subsidiaries compared to MetLife.                                   

 Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the
instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant   
would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such        
actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial          
withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use 
of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and   
cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more  
costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market          
conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity   
indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in    
nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding        
policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital      
market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair   
value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income.

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

The Company assumed, from an affiliated insurance company, the risk       
associated with certain GMIBs. These embedded derivatives are included in     
other policy-related balances in the consolidated balance sheets with changes 
in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The value  
of the embedded derivatives on these assumed risks is determined using a      
methodology consistent with that described previously for the guarantees      
directly written by the Company.                                              

  The Company ceded, to an affiliated reinsurance company, the risk associated
with certain of the GMIBs, GMABs and GMWBs described above that are also      
accounted for as embedded derivatives. In addition to ceding risks associated 
with guarantees that are accounted for as embedded derivatives, the Company   
also cedes, to the same affiliated reinsurance company, certain directly      
written GMIBs that are accounted for as insurance (i.e., not as embedded      
derivatives), but where the reinsurance agreement contains an embedded        
derivative. These embedded derivatives are included within premiums,          
reinsurance and other receivables in the consolidated balance sheets with     
changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The
value of the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a     
methodology consistent with that described previously for the guarantees      
directly written by the Company with the exception of the input for           
nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer.                

The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives within funds withheld
related to certain ceded reinsurance is determined based on the change in     
estimated fair value of the underlying assets held by the Company in a        
reference portfolio backing the funds withheld liability. The estimated fair  
value of the underlying assets is determined as previously described in "--   
Investments -- Securities, Short-term Investments and Long-term Debt of CSEs."
The estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives is included, along with
their funds withheld hosts, in other liabilities in the consolidated balance  
sheets with changes in estimated fair value recorded in net derivative gains  
(losses). Changes in the credit spreads on the underlying assets, interest    
rates and market volatility may result in significant fluctuations in the     
estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives that could materially      
affect net income.                                                            

Embedded Derivatives Within Asset and Liability Host Contracts              

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

Direct and assumed guaranteed minimum benefits                            

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income    
approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize
significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange   
  rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3
classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not      
observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or        
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs  
generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap 
  yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder
behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder      
  behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes
of calculating the risk margin.                                           

Reinsurance ceded on certain guaranteed minimum benefits                  

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income    
approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard        
unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described
above in "-- Direct and Assumed Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also     
include counterparty credit spreads.

Transfers between Levels                                                      

Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the     
observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any     
level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period.                    

Transfers between Levels 1 and 2:                                           

  For assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value and still held
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, transfers between Levels 1 and 2 were not    
significant.                                                                

Transfers into or out of Level 3:                                           

Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant  
input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when  
market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be     
 observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant
variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and      
liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such   
that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data.   
This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific    
event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.             

  Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to
 a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades
(e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which have resulted 
in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of independent 
non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such as illiquidity  
premiums, delta spread adjustments or credit spreads.                       

 Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily
from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to       
issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent
 pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able
to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from, independent   
pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable spreads used in 
pricing securities) or increases in market activity and upgraded credit     
ratings.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Using Significant Unobservable
Inputs (Level 3)                                                            

The following table presents certain quantitative information about the     
significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, and the     
sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in those inputs, for the     
more significant asset and liability classes measured at fair value on a        
recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at:

guaranteed minimum benefits are based on asset positions.                 

(3)Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation     
would result in substantially lower (higher) valuations.                  

(4)Range and weighted average are presented in basis points.                    

(5)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market       
convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of
par.                                                                      

(6)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default is            
  accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the
loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used 
for prepayment rates.                                                     

(7)Ranges represent the rates across different yield curves and are presented   
in basis points. The swap yield curve is utilized among different types of
 derivatives to project cash flows, as well as to discount future cash flows
to present value. Since this valuation methodology uses a range of inputs 
across a yield curve to value the derivative, presenting a range is more  
representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation.           

(8)Represents the risk quoted in basis points of a credit default event on the  
  underlying instrument. The range being provided is a single quoted spread in
  the valuation model. Credit derivatives with significant unobservable inputs
are primarily comprised of written credit default swaps.                  

(9)At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, independent non-binding broker           
quotations were used in the determination of less than 1% of the total net
derivative estimated fair value.                                          

(10)Ranges represent the underlying equity volatility quoted in percentage      
points. Since this valuation methodology uses a range of inputs across  
   multiple volatility surfaces to value the derivative, presenting a range is
more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation.    

(11)Changes are based on long U.S. dollar net asset positions and will be       
inversely impacted for short U.S. dollar net asset positions.           

(12)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as      
gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A   
 mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract,
mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are    
projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative.              

(13)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison   
of the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current         
policyholder account value, as well as other factors, such as the       
applicability of any surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces
  the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account
 value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are
also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge   
applies. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period 
over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded
derivative.                                                             

(14)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract        
holders with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to    
  utilize the benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type
   of guarantee, the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the
account value, the

contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the policyholder. For any 
  given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the period over which cash
flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative.      

(15)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any   
  given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The
  withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and
also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract,     
withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are   
 projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any
 increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease)
in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any 
   increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in
the estimated fair value.                                               

(16)Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period 
for which observable equity volatilities are available. For any given   
   contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over
which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded     
derivative.                                                             

(17)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any      
  given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending
 on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing
the embedded derivative.                                                

The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant      
unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and            
liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding    
table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3,    
including those within separate account assets and embedded derivatives within  
funds withheld related to certain ceded reinsurance, use the same valuation     
techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously described for      
Level 3 securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted cash flow       
methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities 
that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than         
securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding broker     
quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the       
significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is       
similar in nature to that described in the preceding table. The valuation       
techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value           
measurement for the more significant assets measured at estimated fair value on 
a nonrecurring basis and determined using significant unobservable inputs       
(Level 3) are summarized in "-- Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements."

(1)Amortization of premium/accretion of discount is included within net         
investment income. Impairments charged to net income (loss) on securities 
are included in net investment gains (losses). Lapses associated with net 
embedded derivatives are included in net derivative gains (losses).       

(2)Interest and dividend accruals, as well as cash interest coupons and         
dividends received, are excluded from the rollforward.                    

(3)Items purchased/issued and then sold/settled in the same period are excluded 
from the rollforward. Fees attributed to embedded derivatives are included
in settlements.                                                           

(4)Gains and losses, in net income (loss) and OCI, are calculated assuming      
transfers into and/or out of Level 3 occurred at the beginning of the     
period. Items transferred into and then out of Level 3 in the same period 
are excluded from the rollforward.                                        

(5)Changes in unrealized gains (losses) included in net income (loss) relate to 
assets and liabilities still held at the end of the respective periods.   

(6)Freestanding derivative assets and liabilities are presented net for         
purposes of the rollforward.                                              

(7)Embedded derivative assets and liabilities are presented net for purposes of 
the rollforward.                                                          

(8)Investment performance related to separate account assets is fully offset by 
corresponding amounts credited to contractholders within separate account 
liabilities. Therefore, such changes in estimated fair value are not      
recorded in net income. For the purpose of this disclosure, these changes 
are presented within net investment gains (losses).

(1)These assets and liabilities are comprised of commercial mortgage loans and  
long-term debt. Changes in estimated fair value on these assets and       
liabilities and gains or losses on sales of these assets are recognized in
 net investment gains (losses). Interest income on commercial mortgage loans
  held by CSEs -- FVO is recognized in net investment income. Interest expense
from long-term debt of CSEs -- FVO is recognized in other expenses.       

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements                                            

The following table presents information for assets measured at estimated   
fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods and still held at the     
reporting dates; that is, they are not measured at fair value on a recurring    
basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances   
(for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The estimated fair values  
for these assets were determined using significant unobservable inputs (Level   
3).

loans are in foreclosure or are otherwise determined to be collateral     
dependent, are based on the estimated fair value of the underlying        
collateral or the present value of the expected future cash flows.

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

(2)For these cost method investments, estimated fair value is determined from   
 information provided in the financial statements of the underlying entities
 including NAV data. These investments include private equity and debt funds
  that typically invest primarily in various strategies including domestic and
international leveraged buyout funds; power, energy, timber and           
infrastructure development funds; venture capital funds; and below        
investment grade debt and mezzanine debt funds. Distributions will be     
generated from investment gains, from operating income from the underlying
investments of the funds and from liquidation of the underlying assets of 
the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the funds will be
liquidated over the next two to 10 years. Unfunded commitments for these  
investments at both December 31, 2013 and 2012 were not significant.      

(3)For these cost method investments, estimated fair value is determined from   
 information provided in the financial statements of the underlying entities
  including NAV data. These investments include several real estate funds that
 typically invest primarily in commercial real estate. Distributions will be
generated from investment gains, from operating income from the underlying
investments of the funds and from liquidation of the underlying assets of 
the funds. It is estimated that the underlying assets of the funds will be
liquidated over the next one to 10 years. Unfunded commitments for these  
investments at both December 31, 2013 and 2012 were not significant.      

(4)As discussed in Note 10, in 2013, the Company recorded an impairment of      
goodwill associated with the Retail Life & Other reporting unit. In       
  addition, in 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of goodwill associated
with the Retail Annuities reporting unit. These impairments have been     
categorized as Level 3 due to the significant unobservable inputs used in 
the determination of the estimated fair value.                            

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Other Than Fair Value            

 The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments
that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These   
tables exclude the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents,  
accrued investment income, payables for collateral under securities loaned and  
other transactions and those short-term investments that are not securities,    
such as time deposits, and therefore are not included in the three level        
hierarchy table disclosed in the "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements"         
section. The estimated fair value of the excluded financial instruments, which  
are primarily classified in Level 2 and, to a lesser extent, in Level 1,        
approximates carrying value as they are short-term in nature such that the      
Company believes there is minimal risk of material changes in interest rates or 
credit quality. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the table     
below are not considered financial instruments subject to this disclosure.

 The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used
to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:  

Mortgage Loans                                                                

For mortgage loans, estimated fair value is primarily determined by       
estimating expected future cash flows and discounting them using current      
interest rates for similar mortgage loans with similar credit risk, or is     
determined from pricing for similar loans.

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

Policy Loans                                                                  

Policy loans with fixed interest rates are classified within Level 3. The 
estimated fair values for these loans are determined using a discounted cash  
flow model applied to groups of similar policy loans determined by the nature 
of the underlying insurance liabilities. Cash flow estimates are developed by 
applying a weighted-average interest rate to the outstanding principal balance
of the respective group of policy loans and an estimated average maturity     
determined through experience studies of the past performance of policyholder 
repayment behavior for similar loans. These cash flows are discounted using   
current risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk  
as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the    
underlying insurance policy. Policy loans with variable interest rates are    
classified within Level 2 and the estimated fair value approximates carrying  
value due to the absence of borrower credit risk and the short time period    
between interest rate resets, which presents minimal risk of a material change
in estimated fair value due to changes in market interest rates.              

Real Estate Joint Ventures and Other Limited Partnership Interests            

The estimated fair values of these cost method investments are generally  
based on the Company's share of the NAV as provided in the financial          
statements of the investees. In certain circumstances, management may adjust  
the NAV by a premium or discount when it has sufficient evidence to support   
applying such adjustments.                                                    

Other Invested Assets                                                         

 These other invested assets are principally comprised of loans to affiliates.
The estimated fair value of loans to affiliates is determined by discounting    
the expected future cash flows using market interest rates currently available  
for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.                    

Premiums, Reinsurance and Other Receivables                                   

Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of    
certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements, amounts on deposit    
with financial institutions to facilitate daily settlements related to certain  
derivatives and amounts receivable for securities sold but not yet settled.     

Amounts recoverable under ceded reinsurance agreements, which the Company 
has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are accounted  
for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as Level 3.  
The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant
unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using interest    
rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the assuming   
counterparty.                                                                 

The amounts on deposit for derivative settlements, classified within Level
2, essentially represent the equivalent of demand deposit balances and amounts
due for securities sold are generally received over short periods such that   
the estimated fair value approximates carrying value.                         

PABs                                                                          

 These PABs include investment contracts. Embedded derivatives on investment
contracts and certain variable annuity guarantees accounted for as embedded   
derivatives are excluded from this caption in the preceding tables as they are
separately presented in "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements."

9. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

  The investment contracts primarily include certain funding agreements, fixed
deferred annuities, modified guaranteed annuities, fixed term payout annuities
and total control accounts. The valuation of these investment contracts is    
based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable    
inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free 
interest rates adding a spread to reflect the nonperformance risk in the      
liability.                                                                    

Long-term Debt                                                                

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is principally determined using
market standard valuation methodologies. Valuations are based primarily on    
quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing that use 
standard market observable inputs such as quoted prices in markets that are   
not active and observable yields and spreads in the market. Instruments valued
using discounted cash flow methodologies use standard market observable inputs
including market yield curve, duration, observable prices and spreads for     
similar publicly traded or privately traded issues.                           

Other Liabilities                                                             

Other liabilities consist primarily of interest payable, amounts due for  
securities purchased but not yet settled and funds withheld amounts payable,  
which are contractually withheld by the Company in accordance with the terms  
of the reinsurance agreements. The Company evaluates the specific terms, facts
and circumstances of each instrument to determine the appropriate estimated   
fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying values.     

Separate Account Liabilities                                                  

Separate account liabilities represent those balances due to policyholders
under contracts that are classified as investment contracts.                  

Separate account liabilities classified as investment contracts primarily 
represent variable annuities with no significant mortality risk to the Company
such that the death benefit is equal to the account balance and certain       
contracts that provide for benefit funding.                                   

Since separate account liabilities are fully funded by cash flows from the
separate account assets which are recognized at estimated fair value as       
described in the section "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements," the value of 
those assets approximates the estimated fair value of the related separate    
account liabilities. The valuation techniques and inputs for separate account 
liabilities are similar to those described for separate account assets.       

10. Goodwill                                                                    

Goodwill is the excess of cost over the estimated fair value of net assets  
acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least       
annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes 
in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for           
conducting an interim test. Step 1 of the goodwill impairment process requires  
a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value.

10. Goodwill (continued)                                                        

In performing the Company's goodwill impairment tests, the estimated fair       
values of the reporting units are first determined using a market multiple      
valuation approach. When further corroboration is required, the Company uses a  
discounted cash flow valuation approach. For reporting units which are          
particularly sensitive to market assumptions, the Company may use additional    
valuation methodologies to estimate the reporting units' fair values.           

 The market multiple valuation approach utilizes market multiples of companies
with similar businesses and the projected operating earnings of the reporting   
unit. The discounted cash flow valuation approach requires judgments about      
revenues, operating earnings projections, capital market assumptions and        
discount rates. The key inputs, judgments and assumptions necessary in          
determining estimated fair value of the reporting units include projected       
operating earnings, current book value, the level of economic capital required  
to support the mix of business, long-term growth rates, comparative market      
multiples, the account value of in-force business, projections of new and       
renewal business, as well as margins on such business, the level of interest    
rates, credit spreads, equity market levels, and the discount rate that the     
Company believes is appropriate for the respective reporting unit.              

The valuation methodologies utilized are subject to key judgments and       
assumptions that are sensitive to change. Estimates of fair value are           
inherently uncertain and represent only management's reasonable expectation     
regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments and            
assumptions upon which the estimates are based will, in all likelihood, differ  
in some respects from actual future results. Declines in the estimated fair     
value of the Company's reporting units could result in goodwill impairments in  
future periods which could materially adversely affect the Company's results of 
operations or financial position.                                               

During the 2013 annual goodwill impairment tests, the market multiple and   
discounted cash flow valuation techniques indicated that the fair value of the  
Retail Life & Other reporting unit was below its carrying value. Due to these   
results, an actuarial appraisal, which estimates the net worth of the reporting 
unit, the value of existing business and the value of new business, was also    
performed. This appraisal also resulted in a fair value of the Retail Life &    
Other reporting unit that was less than the carrying value, indicating a        
potential for goodwill impairment. An increase in required reserves on          
universal life products with secondary guarantees, together with modifications  
to financial reinsurance treaty terms, was reflected in the fair value          
estimate. In addition, decreased future sales assumptions reflected in the      
valuation were driven by the discontinuance of certain sales of universal life  
products with secondary guarantees by the Company. Accordingly, the Company     
performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment process, which compares the implied 
fair value of goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill in the          
reporting unit to calculate the amount of goodwill impairment. The Company      
determined that all of the recorded goodwill associated with the Retail Life &  
Other reporting unit was not recoverable and recorded a non-cash charge of $66  
million ($57 million, net of income tax) for the impairment of the entire       
goodwill balance in the consolidated statements of operations for the year      
ended December 31, 2013. The full amount was impaired at MetLife Insurance      
Company of Connecticut.                                                         

 In addition, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test of its
Corporate Benefit Funding reporting unit using a market multiple valuation      
approach and concluded that the fair value of such reporting unit was in excess 
of its carrying value and, therefore, goodwill was not impaired.

(1)For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, the $229 million of net         
goodwill in Corporate & Other at December 31, 2012, which resulted from   
goodwill acquired as part of the 2005 Travelers acquisition, was allocated
to business units of the Retail and Corporate Benefit Funding segments in 
the amounts of $43 million and $186 million, respectively. As reflected in
the table, the $43 million related to the Retail segment was impaired for 
the year ended December 31, 2013.                                         

(2)In connection with its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company       
determined that all of the recorded goodwill associated with the Retail   
 Annuities reporting unit was not recoverable and recorded a non-cash charge
 of $394 million ($147 million, net of income tax) for the impairment of the
  entire goodwill balance in the consolidated statements of operations for the
  year ended December 31, 2012. Of this amount, $327 million ($80 million, net
of income tax) was impaired at MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut.

11. Debt (continued)                                                            

(2)Excludes $1.5 billion and $2.6 billion of long-term debt relating to CSEs at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Note 7.                     

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2013 are $1      
million in each of 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, $2 million in 2018 and $784      
million thereafter.                                                             

Interest expense related to the Company's indebtedness included in other    
expenses was $68 million, $68 million and $67 million for the years ended       
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.                                 

Payments of interest and principal on the surplus notes, which are          
subordinate to all other obligations at the operating company level, may be     
made only with the prior approval of the insurance department of the state of   
domicile.                                                                       

12. Equity                                                                      

Return of Capital                                                               

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Sino-US MetLife Insurance Company  
Limited ("Sino"), an insurance underwriting joint venture of the Company        
accounted for under the equity method, merged with United MetLife Insurance     
Company Limited ("United"), another insurance underwriting joint venture of an  
affiliate of the Company. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's ownership  
interest in the merged entity, Sino-US United MetLife Insurance Company Limited 
("Sino-United") was determined based on its contributed capital and share of    
undistributed earnings of Sino compared to the contributed capital and          
undistributed earnings of all other investees of Sino and United. Since both of 
the joint ventures were under common ownership both prior to and subsequent to  
the merger, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's investment in            
Sino-United is based on the carrying value of its investment in Sino. Pursuant  
to the merger, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut entered into an         
agreement to pay the affiliate an amount based on the relative fair values of   
their respective investments in Sino-United. Accordingly, upon completion of    
the estimation of fair value, $47 million, representing a return of capital,    
was paid during the year ended December 31, 2011. MetLife Insurance Company of  
Connecticut's investment in Sino-United is accounted for under the equity       
method and is included in other invested assets.                                

Common Stock                                                                    

The Company has 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, 34,595,317    
shares of which were outstanding at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. Of such    
outstanding shares, 30,000,000 shares are owned directly by MetLife and the     
remaining shares are owned by MetLife Investors Group, Inc.                     

Statutory Equity and Income                                                     

Each U.S. insurance company's state of domicile imposes risk-based capital  
("RBC") requirements that were developed by the National Association of         
Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). Regulatory compliance is determined by a      
ratio of a company's total adjusted capital, calculated in the manner           
prescribed by the NAIC ("TAC") to its authorized control level RBC, calculated  
in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("ACL RBC"). Companies below specific      
trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which    
requires

12. Equity (continued)                                                          

specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before corrective action  
commences is twice ACL RBC. The RBC ratio for MetLife Insurance Company of      
Connecticut and its U.S. insurance subsidiary, MLI-USA, were in excess of 400%  
for all periods presented.                                                      

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its insurance subsidiaries     
prepare statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with statutory       
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance department of the 
state of domicile or applicable foreign jurisdiction. The NAIC has adopted the  
Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles ("Statutory Codification").     
Statutory Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and     
reporting to state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting         
principles continue to be established by individual state laws and permitted    
practices. Modifications by the various state insurance departments may impact  
the effect of Statutory Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of    
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and MLI-USA.                           

 Statutory accounting principles differ from GAAP primarily by charging policy
acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit    
liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, reporting surplus notes as   
surplus instead of debt, reporting of reinsurance agreements and valuing        
securities on a different basis.                                                

In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting     
principles and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not 
admitted by the Company are net deferred income tax assets resulting from       
temporary differences between statutory accounting principles basis and tax     
basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within three years.        

Statutory net income (loss) of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, a  
Connecticut domiciled insurer, was $790 million, $848 million and $46 million   
for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory   
capital and surplus was $4.8 billion and $5.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and  
2012, respectively. All such amounts are derived from the statutory-basis       
financial statements as filed with the Connecticut Insurance Department.        

Statutory net income (loss) of MLI-USA, a Delaware domiciled insurer, was   
$209 million, $84 million and $178 million for the years ended December 31,     
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1.9       
billion and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such  
amounts are derived from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with 
the Delaware Department of Insurance.                                           

As of December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut's sole    
foreign insurance subsidiary, MetLife Assurance Limited ("MAL") was regulated   
by authorities in the United Kingdom and was subject to minimum capital and     
solvency requirements before corrective action commences. The required capital  
and surplus was $165 million and the actual regulatory capital and surplus was  
$573 million as of the date of the most recent capital adequacy calculation for 
the jurisdiction. MAL exceeded these minimum capital and solvency requirements  
for all other periods presented. See Note 17 for additional information on MAL. 

Dividend Restrictions                                                           

Under Connecticut State Insurance Law, MetLife Insurance Company of         
Connecticut is permitted, without prior insurance regulatory clearance, to pay  
stockholder dividends to its stockholders as long as the amount of such         
dividends, when aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months, 
does not exceed the greater

12. Equity (continued)                                                          

of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the immediately    
preceding calendar year or (ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the  
immediately preceding calendar year. MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut   
will be permitted to pay a dividend in excess of the greater of such two        
amounts only if it files notice of its declaration of such a dividend and the   
amount thereof with the Connecticut Commissioner of Insurance (the "Connecticut 
Commissioner") and the Connecticut Commissioner either approves the             
distribution of the dividend or does not disapprove the payment within 30 days  
after notice. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined as 
"unassigned funds (surplus)" reduced by 25% of unrealized appreciation in value 
or revaluation of assets or unrealized profits on investments) as of the last   
filed annual statutory statement requires insurance regulatory approval. Under  
Connecticut State Insurance Law, the Connecticut Commissioner has broad         
discretion in determining whether the financial condition of a stock life       
insurance company would support the payment of such dividends to its            
stockholders. During the year ended December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance        
Company of Connecticut paid a dividend to its stockholders in the amount of     
$1.0 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2012, MetLife Insurance        
Company of Connecticut paid total dividends of $706 million. During June 2012,  
the Company distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of common      
stock of MetLife Europe to its stockholders as an in-kind extraordinary         
dividend of $202 million, as calculated on a statutory basis. Regulatory        
approval for this extraordinary dividend was obtained due to the timing of      
payment. During December 2012, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut paid a  
dividend to its stockholders in the amount of $504 million, which represented   
its ordinary dividend capacity at year-end 2012. Due to the June 2012 in -kind  
dividend, a portion of this was extraordinary and regulatory approval was       
obtained. During the years ended December 31, 2011, MetLife Insurance Company   
of Connecticut paid a dividend of $517 million. Based on amounts at             
December 31, 2013, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut could pay a         
stockholder dividend in 2014 of $1.0 billion without prior approval of the      
Connecticut Commissioner.                                                       

Under Delaware State Insurance Law, MLI-USA is permitted, without prior     
insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife        
Insurance Company of Connecticut as long as the amount of the dividend when     
aggregated with all other dividends in the preceding 12 months does not exceed  
the greater of: (i) 10% of its surplus to policyholders as of the end of the    
immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) its net statutory gain from        
operations for the immediately preceding calendar year (excluding realized      
capital gains). MLI-USA will be permitted to pay a dividend to MetLife          
Insurance Company of Connecticut in excess of the greater of such two amounts   
only if it files notice of the declaration of such a dividend and the amount    
thereof with the Delaware Commissioner of Insurance (the "Delaware              
Commissioner") and the Delaware Commissioner either approves the distribution   
of the dividend or does not disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its   
filing. In addition, any dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined as       
"unassigned funds (surplus)") as of the immediately preceding calendar year     
requires insurance regulatory approval. Under Delaware State Insurance Law, the 
Delaware Commissioner has broad discretion in determining whether the financial 
condition of a stock life insurance company would support the payment of such   
dividends to its stockholders. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012   
and 2011, MLI-USA did not pay dividends to MetLife Insurance Company of         
Connecticut. Because MLI-USA's statutory unassigned funds were negative at      
December 31, 2013, MLI-USA cannot pay any dividends in 2014 without prior       
regulatory approval.

beginning in 2015.                                                            

  Pursuant to Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rules, the Company was excluded
from MetLife's life/non-life consolidated federal tax return for the five     
years subsequent to MetLife's July 2005 acquisition of the Company. In 2011,  
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut and its subsidiaries joined the      
consolidated return and became a party to the MetLife tax sharing agreement.  
Prior to 2011, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut filed a consolidated  
tax return with its includable subsidiaries. Non-includable subsidiaries filed
either separate individual corporate tax returns or separate consolidated tax 
returns.                                                                      

The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, as      
described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due  
from affiliates included $194 million, $135 million, and $151 million at      
December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

14. Income Tax (continued)                                                      

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and 
various state and local jurisdictions, as well as foreign jurisdictions. The  
Company is under continuous examination by the IRS and other tax authorities  
in jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations. The
income tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company is no    
longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations in     
major taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2005. In 2012, the Company and  
the IRS completed and settled substantially all the issues identified in the  
audit years of 2005 and 2006. The issues not settled are under review at the  
IRS Appeals Division.                                                         

The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or     
decrease in the next 12 months. A reasonable estimate of the increase or      
decrease cannot be made at this time. However, the Company continues to       
believe that the ultimate resolution of the pending issues will not result in 
a material change to its consolidated financial statements, although the      
resolution of income tax matters could impact the Company's effective tax rate
for a particular future period.                                               

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax   
benefits was as follows:

  The Company classifies interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits
in interest expense, included within other expenses, while penalties are      
included in income tax expense.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

14. Income Tax (continued)                                                      

 The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have indicated that they intend to
address through regulations the methodology to be followed in determining the 
dividends received deduction ("DRD"), related to variable life insurance and  
annuity contracts. The DRD reduces the amount of dividend income subject to   
tax and is a significant component of the difference between the actual tax   
expense and expected amount determined using the federal statutory tax rate of
35%. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this    
area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance    
companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise     
legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such
regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing and substance of any such       
regulations are unknown at this time. For the years ended December 31, 2013   
and 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $92 million and $70 
million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD. The 2013 benefit  
included a benefit of $11 million related to a true-up of the 2012 tax return.
The 2012 benefit included an expense of less than $1 million related to a     
true-up of the 2011 tax return.                                               

15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees                                   

Contingencies                                                                   

Litigation                                                                    

  The Company is a defendant in a number of litigation matters. In some of the
matters, large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble    
damages, are sought. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable
variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions 
may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit 
claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the    
jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit        
plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably    
possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in
pleadings, together with the actual experience of the Company in litigating or
resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, 
demonstrates to management that the monetary relief which may be specified in 
a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. 

Due to the vagaries of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and 
the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time may        
normally be difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders
will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of   
witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in   
the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion         
practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to
the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view
the relevant evidence and applicable law.                                     

The Company establishes liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss    
contingencies when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount
of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities have been established for
some of the matters below. It is possible that some of the matters could      
require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish    
accruals in amounts that could not be estimated at December 31, 2013.

Matters as to Which an Estimate Can Be Made                                 

For some of the matters discussed below, the Company is able to estimate a
reasonably possible range of loss. For such matters where a loss is believed  
to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual has been made. As of  
December 31, 2013, the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess
of amounts accrued for these matters was not material for the Company.        

Matters as to Which an Estimate Cannot Be Made                              

For other matters disclosed below, the Company is not currently able to   
estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. The Company is often  
unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in   
such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of 
the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from    
plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual         
allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts, 
and the progress of settlement negotiations. On a quarterly and annual basis, 
the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation           
contingencies and updates its accruals, disclosures and estimates of          
reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.           

Unclaimed Property Inquiries                                                

In April 2012, MetLife, for itself and on behalf of entities including    
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, reached agreements with             
representatives of the U.S. jurisdictions that were conducting audits of      
MetLife and certain of its affiliates for compliance with unclaimed property  
laws, and with state insurance regulators directly involved in a multistate   
targeted market conduct examination relating to claim-payment practices and   
compliance with unclaimed property laws. On December 28, 2012, the West       
Virginia Treasurer filed an action (West Virginia ex rel. John D. Perdue v.   
MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, Circuit Court of Putnam County)     
alleging that the Company violated the West Virginia Uniform Unclaimed        
Property Act, seeking to compel compliance with the Act, and seeking payment  
of unclaimed property, interest, and penalties. On November 14, 2012, the     
Treasurer filed a substantially identical suit against MLI-USA. On            
December 30, 2013, the court granted defendants' motions to dismiss all of the
West Virginia Treasurer's actions. The Treasurer has filed a notice to appeal 
the dismissal order. At least one other jurisdiction is pursuing a similar    
market conduct examination. It is possible that other jurisdictions may pursue
similar examinations, audits, or lawsuits and that such actions may result in 
additional payments to beneficiaries, additional escheatment of funds deemed  
abandoned under state laws, administrative penalties, interest, and/or further
changes to the Company's procedures. The Company is not currently able to     
estimate these additional possible costs.                                     

Sales Practices Claims                                                      

Over the past several years, the Company has faced claims and regulatory  
inquires and investigations, alleging improper marketing or sales of          
individual life insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds or other products.
The Company continues to vigorously defend against the claims in these        
matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its         
consolidated financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable   
losses for sales practices matters.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued)                       

Summary                                                                     

 Various litigation, claims and assessments against the Company, in addition
to those discussed previously and those otherwise provided for in the         
Company's consolidated financial statements, have arisen in the course of the 
Company's business, including, but not limited to, in connection with its     
activities as an insurer, employer, investor, investment advisor and taxpayer.
Further, state insurance regulatory authorities and other federal and state   
authorities regularly make inquiries and conduct investigations concerning the
Company's compliance with applicable insurance and other laws and regulations.

It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending         
investigations and legal proceedings. In some of the matters referred to      
previously, large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble 
damages, are sought. Although, in light of these considerations it is possible
that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material effect upon the
Company's financial position, based on information currently known by the     
Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of such pending            
investigations and legal proceedings are not likely to have such an effect.   
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 effect on the Company's consolidated net income or cash flows in     
particular quarterly or annual periods.                                       

Insolvency Assessments                                                        

Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact    
business require insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to           
participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual  
benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or 
failed insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits,
on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate
share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in  
which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. Some states permit   
member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium   
tax offsets.                                                                  

Assets and liabilities held for insolvency assessments were as follows:

On September 1, 2011, the Department of Financial Services filed a        
liquidation plan for Executive Life Insurance Company of New York ("ELNY"),   
which had been under rehabilitation by the Liquidation Bureau since 1991. The 
plan involves the satisfaction of insurers' financial obligations under a     
number of state life and health insurance guaranty associations and also      
provides additional industry support for certain ELNY policyholders.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued) 

15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued)                       

Commitments                                                                     

Commitments to Fund Partnership Investments                                 

   The Company makes commitments to fund partnership investments in the normal
course of business. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $956     
million and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The   
Company anticipates that these amounts will be invested in partnerships over
the next five years.                                                        

Mortgage Loan Commitments                                                   

The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The  
 amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $147 million and $181 million
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.                                

Commitments to Fund Bank Credit Facilities and Private Corporate Bond       
Investments                                                                 

  The Company commits to lend funds under bank credit facilities and private
corporate bond investments. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were  
$57 million and $144 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.   

Other Commitments                                                           

   The Company has entered into collateral arrangements with affiliates, which
require the transfer of collateral in connection with secured demand notes. 
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had agreed to fund up to $61     
million and $86 million, respectively, of cash upon the request by these    
affiliates and had transferred collateral consisting of various securities  
with a fair market value of $74 million and $106 million, respectively, to  
custody accounts to secure the demand notes. Each of these affiliates is    
permitted by contract to sell or repledge this collateral.                  

  See Note 7 "-- Related Party Investment Transactions" for additional other
commitments.                                                                

Guarantees                                                                      

In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain      
indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties such that it may be    
required to make payments now or in the future. In the context of acquisition,  
disposition, investment and other transactions, the Company has provided        
indemnities and guarantees, including those related to tax, environmental and   
other specific liabilities and other indemnities and guarantees that are        
triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or    
covenants provided by the Company. In addition, in the normal course of         
business, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in contracts  
with triggers similar to the foregoing, as well as for certain other            
liabilities, such as third-party lawsuits. These obligations are often subject  
to time limitations that vary in duration, including contractual limitations    
and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of        
limitation. The maximum potential obligation under the indemnities and          
guarantees is subject to a contractual limitation, ranging from $36 million to  
$233 million, with a cumulative maximum of $269 million, in the case of MetLife 
International Insurance Company, Ltd. ("MLII"), a former affiliate, discussed   
below. In other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since   
certain of these obligations are not subject to limitations, the

15. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued)                       

Company does not believe that it is possible to determine the maximum potential 
amount that could become due under these guarantees in the future. Management   
believes that it is unlikely the Company will have to make any material         
payments under these indemnities, guarantees, or commitments.                   

The Company has provided a guarantee on behalf of MLII that is triggered if 
MLII cannot pay claims because of insolvency, liquidation or rehabilitation.    
Life insurance coverage in-force, representing the maximum potential obligation 
under this guarantee, was $233 million and $235 million at December 31, 2013    
and 2012, respectively. The Company does not hold any collateral related to     
this guarantee, but has a recorded liability of $1 million that was based on    
the total account value of the guaranteed policies plus the amounts retained    
per policy at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The remainder of the risk was    
ceded to external reinsurers.                                                   

In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided 
in its charters and by-laws. Also, the Company indemnifies its agents for       
liabilities incurred as a result of their representation of the Company's       
interests. Since these indemnities are generally not subject to limitation with 
respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible 
to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these     
indemnities in the future.                                                      

16. Related Party Transactions                                                  

Service Agreements                                                              

The Company has entered into various agreements with affiliates for services
necessary to conduct its activities. Typical services provided under these      
agreements include management, policy administrative functions, personnel,      
investment advice and distribution services. For certain agreements, charges    
are based on various performance measures or activity-based costing. The bases  
for such charges are modified and adjusted by management when necessary or      
appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual incidence of cost        
incurred by the Company and/or affiliate. Expenses incurred with affiliates     
related to these agreements, recorded in other expenses, were $1.6 billion,     
$1.7 billion and $1.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and   
2011, respectively. Revenues received from affiliates related to these          
agreements, recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy fees, 
were $209 million, $179 million and $145 million for the years ended            
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues received from          
affiliates related to these agreements, recorded in other revenues, were $186   
million, $166 million and $136 million for the years ended December 31, 2013,   
2012 and 2011, respectively.                                                    

The Company had net payables to affiliates, related to the items discussed  
above, of $210 million and $109 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012,          
respectively.                                                                   

See Notes 6, 7 and 11 for additional information on related party           
transactions.                                                                   

17. Subsequent Events                                                           

Equity                                                                          

In August 2014, in anticipation of the Mergers, MetLife Insurance Company of
Connecticut redeemed and retired the 4,595,317 shares of MetLife Insurance      
Company of Connecticut's common stock owned by MetLife Investors Group, LLC for 
$1.4 billion; all of the outstanding shares of common stock of MetLife          
Insurance Company of Connecticut are now directly held by MetLife, Inc. MetLife 
Insurance Company of Connecticut does not expect to pay a dividend in 2014.

17. Subsequent Events (continued)                                               

In August 2014, following the common stock redemption, MetLife Insurance    
Company of Connecticut received a capital contribution from MetLife, Inc. of    
$231 million.                                                                   

Disposition                                                                     

In May 2014, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, 
MAL, for $702 million ((Pounds)418 million) in net cash consideration. As a     
result of the sale, a loss of $608 million ($436 million, net of income tax)    
was recorded, which includes a reduction to goodwill of $112 million ($94       
million, net of income tax). The loss on the sale was increased by net income   
from MAL of $77 million through the date of sale. Following the adoption of new 
guidance effective January 1, 2014, MAL's results of operations have been       
included in continuing operations in subsequent quarterly filings. They were    
historically included in the Corporate Benefit Funding segment.

MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut  
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Schedule II 
Notes to the Condensed Financial Information  
(Parent Company Only) 

1. Basis of Presentation                                                        

The condensed financial information of MetLife Insurance Company of         
Connecticut (the "Parent Company") should be read in conjunction with the       
consolidated financial statements of MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut   
and its subsidiaries and the notes thereto. These condensed unconsolidated      
financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position and  
cash flows for the Parent Company. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted    
for using the equity method of accounting.                                      

The preparation of these condensed unconsolidated financial statements in   
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States   
of America requires management to adopt accounting policies and make certain    
estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and            
assumptions relate to the fair value measurements, the accounting for goodwill  
and identifiable intangible assets and the provision for potential losses that  
may arise from litigation and regulatory proceedings and tax audits, which may  
affect the amounts reported in the condensed unconsolidated financial           
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these       
estimates.                                                                      

2. Support Agreement                                                            

The Parent Company has entered into a net worth maintenance agreement with  
its indirect subsidiary, MetLife Assurance Limited ("MAL"), a United Kingdom    
company. Under the agreement, the Parent Company agreed, without limitation as  
to amount, to cause MAL to have capital and surplus equal to the greater of     
(a) (Pounds)50 million, (b) such amount that will be sufficient to provide      
solvency cover equal to 175% of MAL's capital resources requirement as defined  
by applicable law and regulation as required by the Financial Services          
Authority of the United Kingdom (the "FSA") or any successor body, or (c) such  
amount that will be sufficient to provide solvency cover equal to 125% of MAL's 
individual capital guidance as defined by applicable law and regulation as      
required by the FSA or any successor body. As described in Note 17 of the Notes 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements, a subsidiary of MetLife Insurance     
Company of Connecticut reached an agreement to sell MAL to a third party. Upon  
the close of such sale, the Parent Company's obligations under this net worth   
maintenance agreement will terminate.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT  

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of                                    
MetLife Investors Insurance Company:                                            

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of MetLife Investors      
Insurance Company (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company"), 
which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the     
related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's    
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended          
December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements.           

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements                        

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these    
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally         
accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,             
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation 
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material       
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.                                    

Auditors' Responsibility                                                        

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards    
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require     
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.                   

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the      
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected    
depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of      
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or      
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control 
relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial    
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the      
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the          
effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no     
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of          
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting       
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of 
the financial statements.                                                       

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and           
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.                           

Opinion                                                                         

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in   
all material respects, the financial position of MetLife Investors Insurance    
Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and 
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,     
2013 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United  
States of America.                                                              

Other Matter                                                                    

Results of the Company may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity,  
as the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies.

MetLife Investors Insurance Company 
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Financial Statements 

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies                                                                        

Business                                                                        

MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), a Missouri domiciled life    
insurance company (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. 
("MetLife").                                                                    

The Company markets, administers and insures a broad range of term life,    
universal life and variable and fixed annuity products to individuals. The      
Company is licensed to conduct business in 49 states and the District of        
Columbia. Most of the policies issued present no significant mortality or       
longevity risk to the Company, but rather represent investment deposits by the  
policyholders.                                                                  

In the second quarter of 2013, MetLife, Inc. announced its plans to merge   
three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance           
subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance    
company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged consist of MetLife          
Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), MetLife Investors USA Insurance      
Company ("MLI-USA") and MLIIC, each a U.S. insurance company that issues        
variable annuity products in addition to other products, and Exeter Reassurance 
Company, Ltd. ("Exeter"), a reinsurance company that mainly reinsures           
guarantees associated with variable annuity products. MICC, which is expected   
to be renamed and domiciled in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. Exeter,  
formerly a Cayman Islands company, was re-domesticated to Delaware in October   
2013. The Mergers are expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject  
to regulatory approvals.                                                        

Basis of Presentation                                                           

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting       
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires 
management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that 
affect amounts reported in the financial statements. In applying these policies 
and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that           
frequently require assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.     
Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the       
insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the         
Company's business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates.  

Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies,
its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity.             

Separate Accounts                                                             

 Separate accounts are established in conformity with insurance laws and are
generally not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business  
of the Company. Separate account assets are subject to general account claims 
only to the extent the value of such assets exceeds the separate account      
liabilities. The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities,       
investments held in separate accounts and liabilities of the separate accounts
if:                                                                           

.  such separate accounts are legally recognized;                       
.  assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from
the Company's general account liabilities;                        
.  investments are directed by the contractholder; and

Policies (continued)                                                            

.  all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is 
passed through to the contractholder.                             

The Company reports separate account assets at their fair value, which is 
based on the estimated fair values of the underlying assets comprising the    
individual separate account portfolios. Investment performance (including     
investment income, net investment gains (losses) and changes in unrealized    
gains (losses)) and the corresponding amounts credited to contractholders of  
such separate accounts are offset within the same line in the statements of   
operations.                                                                   

The Company's revenues reflect fees charged to the separate accounts,     
including mortality charges, risk charges, policy administration fees,        
investment management fees and surrender charges. Such fees are included in   
universal life and investment-type product policy fees in the statements of   
operations.

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements and related      
footnotes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies                                      

The following are the Company's significant accounting policies with        
references to notes providing additional information on such policies and       
critical accounting estimates relating to such policies.

Future Policy Benefit Liabilities and Policyholder Account Balances         

The Company establishes liabilities for amounts payable under insurance 
policies. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and
related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected  
 benefits to be paid reduced by the present value of future expected premiums.
Such liabilities are established based on methods and underlying assumptions
in accordance with GAAP and applicable actuarial

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

 standards. Principal assumptions used in the establishment of liabilities for
future policy benefits are mortality, policy lapse, renewal, investment     
returns, inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to  
the respective product type. These assumptions are established at the time  
the policy is issued and are intended to estimate the experience for the    
period the policy benefits are payable. Utilizing these assumptions,        
liabilities are established on a block of business basis. For long duration 
insurance contracts, assumptions such as mortality and interest rates are   
"locked in" upon the issuance of new business. However, significant adverse 
changes in experience on such contracts may require the establishment of    
premium deficiency reserves. Such reserves are determined based on the then 
current assumptions and do not include a provision for adverse deviation.   

The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future   
policy benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences   
result in changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits 
to benefit expenses in the period in which the changes occur.               

Policyholder account balances ("PABs") relate to contract or contract   
features where the Company has no significant insurance risk.               

The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed    
minimum benefits that provide the policyholder a minimum return based on    
their initial deposit (i.e., the benefit base) less withdrawals. These      
guarantees are accounted for as insurance liabilities or as embedded        
derivatives depending on how and when the benefit is paid. Specifically, a  
guarantee is accounted for as an embedded derivative if a guarantee is paid 
 without requiring (i) the occurrence of specific insurable event, or (ii) the
policyholder to annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is accounted for as an
insurance liability if the guarantee is paid only upon either (i) the       
occurrence of a specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. In certain 
cases, a guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability and an  
embedded derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and accounted  
for under both models.                                                      

   Guarantees accounted for as insurance liabilities in future policy benefits
include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDBs"), the portion of         
guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIBs") that require annuitization, and
the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits       
("GMWBs").                                                                  

Guarantees accounted for as embedded derivatives in PABs include the non
life-contingent portion of GMWBs, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits  
("GMABs") and the portion of GMIBs that do not require annuitization. At    
 inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the
projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal 
to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional
fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and         
investment-type product policy fees.                                        

Other Policy-Related Balances                                               

Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims and    
unearned revenue liabilities.                                               

  The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred
 but not reported death claims, as well as claims which have been reported but
not yet settled. The liability for these claims is based on the Company's   
 estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims. The Company derives estimates
for the development

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

of incurred but not reported claims principally from analyses of historical 
patterns of claims by business line. The methods used to determine these    
estimates are continually reviewed. Adjustments resulting from this         
continuous review process and differences between estimates and payments for
claims are recognized in policyholder benefits and claims expense in the    
period in which the estimates are changed or payments are made.             

The unearned revenue liability relates to universal life-type and       
investment-type products and represents policy charges for services to be   
provided in future periods. The charges are deferred as unearned revenue and
amortized using the product's estimated gross profits, similar to deferred  
policy acquisition costs ("DAC") as discussed further herein. Such          
 amortization is recorded in universal life and investment-type product policy
fees.                                                                       

Recognition of Insurance Revenues and Deposits                              

Premiums related to traditional life and annuity policies with life     
contingencies are recognized as revenues when due from policyholders.       
 Policyholder benefits and expenses are provided to recognize profits over the
estimated lives of the insurance policies. When premiums are due over a     
significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are        
provided, any excess profit is deferred and recognized into earnings in a   
constant relationship to insurance in-force or, for annuities, the amount of
expected future policy benefit payments.                                    

Deposits related to universal life-type and investment-type products are
 credited to PABs. Revenues from such contracts consist of fees for mortality,
policy administration and surrender charges and are recorded in universal   
life and investment-type product policy fees in the period in which services
are provided. Amounts that are charged to earnings include interest credited
and benefit claims incurred in excess of related PABs.                      

   Premiums, policy fees, policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net
of reinsurance.                                                             

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other       
Policy-Related Intangibles                                                    

The Company incurs significant costs in connection with acquiring new and 
renewal insurance business. Costs that are related directly to the successful 
acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts are capitalized as DAC. Such    
costs include:                                                                

 .  incremental direct costs of contract acquisition, such as commissions;
  .  the portion of an employee's total compensation and benefits related to
    time spent selling, underwriting or processing the issuance of new and
      renewal insurance business only with respect to actual policies acquired
or renewed; and                                                   
.  other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a 
policy not been acquired or renewed.                              

All other acquisition-related costs, including those related to general 
advertising and solicitation, market research, agent training, product      
development, unsuccessful sales and underwriting efforts, as well as all    
indirect costs, are expensed as incurred.

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

   Value of business acquired ("VOBA") is an intangible asset resulting from a
business combination that represents the excess of book value over the      
estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment-type    
contracts in-force at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of the 
acquired liabilities is based on projections, by each block of business, of 
future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality, separate account   
performance, surrenders, operating expenses, investment returns,            
nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. Actual experience on the  
purchased business may vary from these projections.                         

DAC and VOBA are amortized as follows:                                      

Products:                              In proportion to the following over    
                                 estimated lives of the contracts:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
.  Fixed and variable universal life   Actual and expected future gross       
contracts                           profits.                            
.  Fixed and variable deferred                                                
annuity contracts                                                       

See Note 3 for additional information on DAC and VOBA amortization.       

The recovery of DAC and VOBA is dependent upon the future profitability of
the related business. DAC and VOBA are aggregated in the financial statements 
for reporting purposes.                                                       

  The Company generally has two different types of sales inducements which are
included in other assets: (i) the policyholder receives a bonus whereby the   
policyholder's initial account balance is increased by an amount equal to a   
specified percentage of the customer's deposit; and (ii) the policyholder     
receives a higher interest rate using a dollar cost averaging method than     
would have been received based on the normal general account interest rate    
credited. The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the    
life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize
DAC. The amortization of sales inducements is included in policyholder        
benefits and claims. Each year, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a
potential recoverability issue exists, the Company reviews deferred sales     
inducements to determine the recoverability of the asset.                     

Reinsurance                                                                   

For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the
agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to      
insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions   
under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as the
primary insurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, including those
that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject 
or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.                    

 For reinsurance of existing in-force blocks of long-duration contracts that
transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the      
amounts paid, and the liabilities ceded related to the underlying contracts is
considered the net cost of reinsurance at the inception of the reinsurance    
agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an adjustment to DAC    
when there is a gain at inception on the ceding entity and to other           
liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The net cost of reinsurance is 
recognized as a component of other expenses when there is a gain at inception

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

underlying reinsured contracts. Subsequent amounts paid on the reinsurance of 
in-force blocks, as well as amounts paid related to new business, are recorded
as ceded premiums and ceded premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are   
established.                                                                  

Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in
premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are 
included in other liabilities. Assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance 
agreements with the same reinsurer may be recorded net on the balance sheet,  
if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement. In the event    
that reinsurers do not meet their obligations to the Company under the terms  
of the reinsurance agreements, reinsurance recoverable balances could become  
uncollectible. In such instances, reinsurance recoverable balances are stated 
net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance.                              

Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims are net of reinsurance
ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported
in fees on ceded reinsurance and other. With respect to GMIBs, a portion of   
the directly written GMIBs are accounted for as insurance liabilities, but the
associated reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives. These embedded
derivatives are included in premiums, reinsurance and other receivables with  
changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses).    

If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the
reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance    
risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of           
accounting. Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits  
made are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. As      
amounts are paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the   
deposit assets or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is      
recorded as fees on ceded reinsurance and other or other expenses, as         
appropriate. Periodically, the Company evaluates the adequacy of the expected 
payments or recoveries and adjusts the deposit asset or liability through fees
on ceded reinsurance and other or other expenses, as appropriate.             

Investments                                                                   

Net Investment Income and Net Investment Gains (Losses)                     

Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless  
 otherwise stated herein. Gains and losses on sales of investments, impairment
 losses and changes in valuation allowances are reported within net investment
gains (losses).                                                             

Fixed Maturity and Equity Securities                                        

The Company's fixed maturity and equity securities are classified as    
available-for-sale ("AFS") and are reported at their estimated fair value.  
Unrealized investment gains and losses on these securities are recorded as a
separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), net of     
policyholder-related amounts and deferred income taxes. All security        
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment gains and losses
on sales are determined on a specific identification basis.                 

Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned  
 using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and
 accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned. Dividends
on equity securities are recognized when declared.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

   The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity and equity securities for
impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on 
management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the      
decline in estimated fair value, as well as an analysis of the gross        
unrealized losses by severity and/or age as described in Note 5 "--         
 Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS
Securities."                                                                

For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an        
 other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is
anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either:     
(i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more     
 likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before
recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between  
the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these 
conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security 
 and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected
is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair 
value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected
 to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors is
recorded in OCI.                                                            

With respect to equity securities, the Company considers in its OTTI    
analysis its intent and ability to hold a particular equity security for a  
period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of its estimated fair   
value to an amount equal to or greater than cost. If a sale decision is made
 for an equity security and recovery to an amount at least equal to cost prior
to the sale is not expected, the security will be deemed to be              
 other-than-temporarily impaired in the period that the sale decision was made
and an OTTI loss will be recorded in earnings. The OTTI loss recognized is  
the entire difference between the security's cost and its estimated fair    
value.                                                                      

Mortgage Loans                                                              

  The Company disaggregates its mortgage loan investments into two portfolio
segments: commercial and agricultural. The accounting policies that are     
applicable to all portfolio segments are presented below and the accounting 
policies related to each of the portfolio segments are included in Note 5.  

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for any 
unamortized premium or discount, deferred fees or expenses, and are net of  
 valuation allowances. Interest income and prepayment fees are recognized when
earned. Interest income is recognized using an effective yield method giving
effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.              

Policy Loans                                                                

Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest income on
such loans is recorded as earned using the contractual interest rate.       
Generally, accrued interest is capitalized on the policy's anniversary date.
Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as they are fully
collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance      
policies. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the 
cash surrender value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the        
insurance policy.                                                           

Other Limited Partnership Interests                                         

  The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in equity
securities when it has significant influence or at least 20% interest and   
other limited partnership interests ("investees") when it has

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

more than a minor ownership interest or more than a minor influence over the
investee's operations, but does not have a controlling financial interest.  
The Company generally recognizes its share of the investee's earnings on a  
three-month lag in instances where the investee's financial information is  
not sufficiently timely or when the investee's reporting period differs from
the Company's reporting period.                                             

  The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in which it
has virtually no influence over the investee's operations. The Company      
recognizes distributions on cost method investments as earned or received.  
 Because of the nature and structure of these cost method investments, they do
not meet the characteristics of an equity security in accordance with       
applicable accounting standards.                                            

The Company routinely evaluates its equity method and cost method       
investments for impairment. For equity method investees, the Company        
considers financial and other information provided by the investee, other   
known information and inherent risks in the underlying investments, as well 
as future capital commitments, in determining whether an impairment has     
occurred. The Company considers its cost method investments for impairment  
when the carrying value of such investments exceeds the net asset value     
("NAV"). The Company takes into consideration the severity and duration of  
this excess when determining whether the cost method investment is impaired.

Short-term Investments                                                      

Short-term investments include securities and other investments with    
remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at 
the time of purchase and are stated at estimated fair value or amortized    
cost, which approximates estimated fair value.                              

Other Invested Assets                                                       

Other invested assets consist principally of the following:             

   .  Loans to affiliates are stated at unpaid principal balance, adjusted for
any unamortized premium or discount.                              
.  Freestanding derivatives with positive estimated fair values are     
described in "--Derivatives" below.                               

Securities Lending Program                                                  

   Securities lending transactions, whereby blocks of securities are loaned to
 third parties, primarily brokerage firms and commercial banks, are treated as
 financing arrangements and the associated liability is recorded at the amount
of cash received. The Company obtains collateral at the inception of the    
loan, usually cash, in an amount generally equal to 102% of the estimated   
 fair value of the securities loaned, and maintains it at a level greater than
or equal to 100% for the duration of the loan. The Company is liable to     
return to the counterparties the cash collateral received. Security         
collateral on deposit from counterparties in connection with the securities 
 lending transactions may not be sold or repledged, unless the counterparty is
in default, and is not reflected in the financial statements. The Company   
monitors the estimated fair value of the securities loaned on a daily basis 
and additional collateral is obtained as necessary. Income and expenses     
associated with securities lending transactions are reported as investment  
income and investment expense, respectively, within net investment income.

Policies (continued)                                                            

Derivatives                                                                   

Freestanding Derivatives                                                    

   Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either
as assets within other invested assets or as liabilities within other       
liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair   
value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty
under the same master netting agreement.                                    

   Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income
or within other liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to    
settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in  
other invested assets or other liabilities.                                 

If a derivative is not designated as an accounting hedge or its use in  
 managing risk does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the estimated
fair value of the derivative are reported in net derivative gains (losses). 

Hedge Accounting                                                            

To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging        
relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective  
and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its        
designation of the hedge. Hedge designation and financial statement         
presentation of changes in estimated fair value of the hedging derivatives  
are as follows:                                                             

.  Fair value hedge (a hedge of the estimated fair value of a recognized  
  asset or liability)--in net derivative gains (losses), consistent with
the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the     
designated risk being hedged.                                       

.  Cash flow hedge (a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the         
    variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized
  asset or liability)--effectiveness in OCI (deferred gains or losses on
     the derivative are reclassified into the statement of operations when the
   Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the
hedged item); ineffectiveness in net derivative gains (losses).     

The changes in estimated fair values of the hedging derivatives are     
exclusive of any accruals that are separately reported in the statement of  
operations within interest income or interest expense to match the location 
of the hedged item.                                                         

In its hedge documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging      
instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged  
item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and     
prospectively assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness and the method  
that will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a  
hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting 
the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally     
assessed at inception and at least quarterly throughout the life of the     
designated hedging relationship. Assessments of hedge effectiveness and     
measurements of ineffectiveness are also subject to interpretation and      
estimation and different interpretations or estimates may have a material   
effect on the amount reported in net income.

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (i) it is 
determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting  
changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (ii) the
derivative expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised; (iii) it is no longer
probable that the hedged forecasted transaction will occur; or (iv) the     
derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument.                        

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the 
derivative is not highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated   
fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be   
carried in the balance sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in  
estimated fair value recognized in net derivative gains (losses). The       
 carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value
hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to  
the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is     
amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided  
the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the      
changes in estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in OCI related to   
discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the statements of operations
when the Company's earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of
the hedged item.                                                            

   When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that
the forecasted transactions will occur on the anticipated date or within two
months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried in the balance  
sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value    
recognized currently in net derivative gains (losses). Deferred gains and   
 losses of a derivative recorded in OCI pursuant to the discontinued cash flow
hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized 
immediately in net derivative gains (losses).                               

In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the  
 derivative is carried at its estimated fair value in the balance sheets, with
changes in its estimated fair value recognized in the current period as net 
derivative gains (losses).                                                  

Embedded Derivatives                                                        

  The Company sells variable annuities and issues certain insurance products
and investment contracts and is a party to certain reinsurance agreements   
 that have embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified embedded
 derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The embedded
derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a      
freestanding derivative if:                                                 

.  the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair   
value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings;              
 .  the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related
to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and           
.  a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative   
would qualify as a derivative instrument.                           

Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated
fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value 
are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses). If the Company is  
 unable to properly identify and measure an embedded derivative for separation
from its host contract, the entire contract is carried on the balance sheet 
at estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in 
 the current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income.
Additionally, the

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

Company may elect to carry an entire contract on the balance sheet at       
estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized in the
current period in net investment gains (losses) or net investment income if 
that contract contains an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. At 
 inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the
projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal 
to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional
fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and         
investment-type product policy fees.                                        

Fair Value                                                                    

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most      
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction      
between market participants on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit  
price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial        
recognition.                                                                  

Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted    
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are  
readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available,  
fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted 
prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other          
observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are
not determinable, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs 
requiring management judgment are used to determine the estimated fair value  
of assets and liabilities.                                                    

Goodwill                                                                      

 Goodwill, which is included in other assets, is the excess of cost over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired which represents the future       
economic benefits arising from such net assets acquired that could not be     
individually identified. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for          
impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances,   
such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be   
justification for conducting an interim test. The Company performs its annual 
goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of each year based upon  
data as of the close of the second quarter. Goodwill associated with a        
business acquisition is not tested for impairment during the year the business
is acquired unless there is a significant identified impairment event.        

Impairment testing is performed using the fair value approach, which      
requires the use of estimates and judgment, at the "reporting unit" level. A  
reporting unit is the operating segment or a business one level below the     
operating segment, if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly
reviewed by management at that level. Management has concluded that the       
Company has one reporting unit.                                               

For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, if the carrying value of a   
reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, there may be an indication of
impairment. In such instances, the implied fair value of the goodwill is      
determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill that would be         
determined in a business combination. The excess of the carrying value of     
goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill would be recognized as an    
impairment and recorded as a charge against net income.                       

In performing the Company's goodwill impairment test, the estimated fair  
value of the reporting unit is determined using a market multiple approach.   
When further corroboration is required, the Company uses a discounted cash    
flow approach. The Company may use additional valuation methodologies when    
appropriate.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

  The key inputs, judgments and assumptions necessary in determining estimated
fair value of the reporting unit include projected operating earnings, current
book value, the level of economic capital required to support the mix of      
business, long-term growth rates, comparative market multiples, the account   
value of in-force business, projections of new and renewal business, as well  
as margins on such business, the level of interest rates, credit spreads,     
equity market levels, and the discount rate that the Company believes is      
appropriate for the reporting unit.                                           

  The Company applies significant judgment when determining the estimated fair
value of its reporting unit. The valuation methodologies utilized are subject 
to key judgments and assumptions that are sensitive to change. Estimates of   
fair value are inherently uncertain and represent only management's reasonable
expectation regarding future developments. These estimates and the judgments  
and assumptions upon which the estimates are based will, in all likelihood,   
differ in some respects from actual future results. Declines in the estimated 
fair value of the Company's reporting unit could result in goodwill           
impairments in future periods which could adversely affect the Company's      
results of operations or financial position.                                  

  In 2013, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test using the
market multiple valuation approach. The analysis results indicated that the   
fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value and,     
therefore, goodwill was not impaired. On an ongoing basis, the Company        
evaluates potential triggering events that may affect the estimated fair value
of the Company's reporting unit to assess whether any goodwill impairment     
exists. Deteriorating or adverse market conditions may have an impact on the  
estimated fair value and could result in future impairments of goodwill. The  
Company has no accumulated goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2013.       
Goodwill was $33 million at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.                  

Income Tax                                                                    

 The Company joined with MetLife and its includable subsidiaries in filing a
consolidated U.S. life and non-life federal income tax return in accordance   
with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Current 
taxes (and the benefits of tax attributes such as losses) are allocated to the
Company under the consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing       
agreement. Under the consolidated tax return regulations, MetLife has elected 
the "percentage method" (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing    
companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, 100 percent of tax  
attributes such as losses are reimbursed by MetLife to the extent that        
consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax return group  
is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable subsidiaries
pay to MetLife each year the federal income tax which such profitable         
subsidiary would have paid that year based upon that year's taxable income. If
the Company has current or prior deductions and credits (including but not    
limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax liability of the         
consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and credits are         
characterized as realized (or realizable) by the Company when those tax       
attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated federal tax return
group, even if the Company would not have realized the attributes on a        
stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method.                              

The Company's accounting for income taxes represents management's best    
estimate of various events and transactions.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting        
Policies (continued)                                                            

Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences  
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are   
measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply  
to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to      
reverse.                                                                      

The realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the existence of      
sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under  
the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are      
established when management determines, based on available information, that  
it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be        
realized. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the
business and its ability to generate capital gains. Significant judgment is   
required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as
well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination,        
consideration is given to, among other things, the following:                 

.  future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and   
carryforwards;                                                        
.  future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;              
.  taxable income in prior carryback years; and                             
.  tax planning strategies.                                                 

The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in   
certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include when estimates  
used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly 
change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in
valuation allowances. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax     
laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could  
have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any
such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the financial 
statements in the year these changes occur.                                   

The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax      
position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing         
authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial   
statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that  
is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax
benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included 
within other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such  
determination is made.                                                        

  The Company classifies interest recognized as interest expense and penalties
recognized as a component of income tax.                                      

Litigation Contingencies                                                      

The Company is a party to a number of legal actions and is involved in a  
number of regulatory investigations. Given the inherent unpredictability of   
these matters, it is difficult to estimate the impact on the Company's        
financial position. Liabilities are established when it is probable that a    
loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Legal costs are recognized as incurred. On an annual basis, the Company       
reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for litigation,      
regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to be reflected
in the Company's financial statements.

Policies (continued)                                                            

Other Accounting Policies                                                     

Cash and Cash Equivalents                                                   

The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments
purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at 
the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at 
amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value.                    

Computer Software                                                           

Computer software, which is included in other assets, is stated at cost,
less accumulated amortization. Purchased software costs, as well as certain 
internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use computer       
software during the application development stage, are capitalized. Such    
 costs are amortized generally over a four-year period using the straight-line
method. The cost basis of computer software was $15 million and $14 million 
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of    
capitalized software was $8 million and $6 million at December 31, 2013 and 
2012, respectively. Related amortization expense was $2 million for each of 
the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.                           

Fees on Ceded Reinsurance and Other                                         

   Fees on ceded reinsurance and other primarily include, in addition to items
described elsewhere herein, fee income on financial reinsurance agreements. 
Such fees are recognized in the period in which services are performed.     

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements                                       

Effective July 17, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding         
derivatives that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index  
Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting    
purposes, in addition to the United States Treasury and London Interbank        
Offered Rate. Also, this new guidance removes the restriction on using          
different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The new guidance did not have a   
material impact on the financial statements upon adoption, but may impact the   
selection of benchmark interest rates for hedging relationships in the future.  

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding       
comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the   
amounts reclassified out of accumulated OCI ("AOCI") by component. In addition, 
an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net 
income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of    
AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount          
reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its     
entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required  
under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is     
required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that       
provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was prospectively   
applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 8.                       

 Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance
sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information   
about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated 
embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and         
securities

Policies (continued)                                                            

borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial statements 
to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial position.      
Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information    
about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of 
financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement     
similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was retrospectively       
applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to derivatives in Note 6.

 On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for
DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs  
related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be   
capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as     
incurred. As a result, certain sales manager compensation and administrative    
costs previously capitalized by the Company will no longer be deferred.         

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive
income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the     
option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income,  
and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of            
comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual    
financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components  
of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholder's equity. The Company 
adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements.             

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair  
value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair      
value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in           
accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of   
the amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB")      
intent on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements.      
Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring     
fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The     
adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements   
other than the expanded disclosures in Note 7.                                  

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements                                

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities        
(Accounting Standards Update 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations      
Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total     
Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date), effective             
retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim  
periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure         
obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which   
the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at 
the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay 
on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount 
the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition,  
the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the       
obligation, as well as other information about the obligation. The Company does 
not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its   
financial statements.

                            of the liability is established.

The Company issues variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum

GMIBs that does not require annuitization are accounted for as embedded         
derivatives in PABs and are further discussed in Note 6. Guarantees accounted

Based on the type of guarantee, the Company defines net amount at risk as   
listed below. These amounts include direct business, but exclude offsets from   
hedging or reinsurance, if any.

In the Event of Death                                                       

 Defined as the death benefit less the total contract account value, as of
the balance sheet date. It represents the amount of the claim that the      
Company would incur if death claims were filed on all contracts on the      
balance sheet date and includes any additional contractual claims associated
  with riders purchased to assist with covering income taxes payable upon death.

At Annuitization                                                            

Defined as the amount (if any) that would be required to be added to the
total contract account value to purchase a lifetime income stream, based on 
current annuity rates, equal to the minimum amount provided under the       
guaranteed benefit. This amount represents the Company's potential economic 
exposure to such guarantees in the event all contractholders were to        
annuitize on the balance sheet date, even though the contracts contain terms
that allow annuitization of the guaranteed amount only after the 10th       
anniversary of the contract, which not all contractholders have achieved.

3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other      
Policy-Related Intangibles (continued)                                          

Fixed and Variable Universal Life Contracts and Fixed and Variable Deferred     
Annuity Contracts                                                               

The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to these contracts over the      
estimated lives of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future    
gross profits. The amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at   
inception or acquisition of the contracts. The amount of future gross profits   
is dependent principally upon returns in excess of the amounts credited to      
policyholders, mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, expenses to    
administer the business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, the    
effect of any hedges used and certain economic variables, such as inflation. Of 
these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses and    
persistency are reasonably likely to impact significantly the rate of DAC and   
VOBA amortization. Each reporting period, the Company updates the estimated     
gross profits with the actual gross profits for that period. When the actual    
gross profits change from previously estimated gross profits, the cumulative    
DAC and VOBA amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge   
or credit to current operations. When actual gross profits exceed those         
previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA amortization will increase, resulting in 
a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the actual 
gross profits are below the previously estimated gross profits. Each reporting  
period, the Company also updates the actual amount of business remaining        
in-force, which impacts expected future gross profits. When expected future     
gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC and VOBA            
amortization will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings.   
The opposite result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the 
previously estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company    
also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to          
determine the recoverability of DAC and VOBA balances.                          

Factors Impacting Amortization                                                  

Separate account rates of return on variable universal life contracts and   
variable deferred annuity contracts affect in-force account balances on such    
contracts each reporting period, which can result in significant fluctuations   
in amortization of DAC and VOBA. Returns that are higher than the Company's     
long-term expectation produce higher account balances, which increases the      
Company's future fee expectations and decreases future benefit payment          
expectations on minimum death and living benefit guarantees, resulting in       
higher expected future gross profits. The opposite result occurs when returns   
are lower than the Company's long-term expectation. The Company's practice to   
determine the impact of gross profits resulting from returns on separate        
accounts assumes that long-term appreciation in equity markets is not changed   
by short-term market fluctuations, but is only changed when sustained interim   
deviations are expected. The Company monitors these events and only changes the 
assumption when its long-term expectation changes.                              

The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying
the projections of estimated gross profits. These assumptions primarily relate  
to investment returns, interest crediting rates, mortality, persistency and     
expenses to administer business. Management annually updates assumptions used   
in the calculation of estimated gross profits which may have significantly      
changed. If the update of assumptions causes expected future gross profits to   
increase, DAC and VOBA amortization will decrease, resulting in a current       
period increase to earnings. The opposite result occurs when the assumption     
update causes expected future gross profits to decrease.                        

Periodically, the Company modifies product benefits, features, rights or    
coverages that occur by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by    
amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by election or coverage

3. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs, Value of Business Acquired and Other      
Policy-Related Intangibles (continued)                                          

within a contract. If such modification, referred to as an internal             
replacement, substantially changes the contract, the associated DAC or VOBA is  
written off immediately through income and any new deferrable costs associated  
with the replacement contract are deferred. If the modification does not        
substantially change the contract, the DAC or VOBA amortization on the original 
contract will continue and any acquisition costs associated with the related    
modification are expensed.                                                      

Amortization of DAC and VOBA is attributed to net investment gains (losses) 
and net derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of      
gross profits originating from transactions other than investment gains and     
losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount of DAC and  
VOBA that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been           
recognized.

4. Reinsurance                                                                  

The Company enters into reinsurance agreements primarily as a purchaser of  
reinsurance for its various insurance products. The Company participates in     
reinsurance activities in order to limit losses and minimize exposure to        
significant risks.                                                              

Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and        
estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying     
business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company     
periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the          
aforementioned assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to 
ceded reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of counterparties to its 
reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that evaluated in the security 
impairment process discussed in Note 5.                                         

For its individual life insurance products, the Company has historically    
reinsured the mortality risk primarily on an excess of retention basis or on a  
quota share basis. In addition to reinsuring mortality risk as described above, 
the Company reinsures other risks, as well as specific coverages. Placement of  
reinsurance is done primarily on an automatic basis and also on a facultative   
basis for risks with specified characteristics.                                 

The Company currently reinsures 100% of the living and death benefit        
guarantees issued in connection with its variable annuities to affiliated       
reinsurers. Under these reinsurance agreements, the Company pays a reinsurance  
premium generally based on fees associated with the guarantees collected from   
policyholders, and receives reimbursement for benefits paid or accrued in       
excess of account values, subject to certain limitations. The Company also      
reinsures 90% of its fixed annuities to an affiliated reinsurer. The value of   
the embedded

4. Reinsurance (continued)                                                      

derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent with 
the guarantees directly written by the Company with the exception of the input  
for nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer.              

The Company has exposure to catastrophes which could contribute to          
significant fluctuations in the Company's results of operations. The Company    
uses excess of retention and quota share reinsurance agreements to provide      
greater diversification of risk and minimize exposure to larger risks.          

The Company reinsures its remaining business through a diversified group of 
well-capitalized reinsurers. The Company analyzes recent trends in arbitration  
and litigation outcomes in disputes, if any, with its reinsurers. The Company   
monitors ratings and evaluates the financial strength of its reinsurers by      
analyzing their financial statements. In addition, the reinsurance recoverable  
balance due from each reinsurer is evaluated as part of the overall monitoring  
process. Recoverability of reinsurance recoverable balances is evaluated based  
on these analyses. These reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of     
allowances for uncollectible reinsurance, which at December 31, 2013 and 2012,  
were not significant.                                                           

The Company had $6 million and $8 million of unsecured unaffiliated ceded   
reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.   
Of these totals, 100% were with the Company's five largest unaffiliated ceded   
reinsurers at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Company ceded risks to affiliates related to guaranteed minimum benefit 
guarantees written directly by the Company. These ceded reinsurance agreements  
contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair value are included       
within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded derivatives associated with  
the cessions are included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables    
and were assets of $376 million and $959 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. Net derivative gains (losses) associated with the embedded        
derivatives were ($639) million, $190 million and $380 million for the years    
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.                           

 The Company has secured certain reinsurance recoverable balances with various
forms of collateral, including secured trusts and irrevocable letters of        
credit. The Company had $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion of unsecured affiliated   
reinsurance recoverable balances at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.   

Affiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to a       
reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded   
using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on affiliated        
reinsurance were $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012,   
respectively. There were no deposit liabilities on affiliated reinsurance at    
both December 31, 2013 and 2012.                                                

5. Investments                                                                  

 See Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and
the related valuation methodologies.                                            

Investment Risks and Uncertainties                                              

Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit,   
interest rate, liquidity, market valuation, currency and real estate risk. The  
financial statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those       
associated with the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished      
ability to sell certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the 
recognition of impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments    
and the potential consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The use 
of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial  
statement risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the  
financial statements.                                                           

The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly         
subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments of known and  
inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and 
assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes        
available.

5. Investments (continued)                                                      

 The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. structured securities,
including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities ("ABS") and       
certain structured investment transactions) is dependent upon certain factors   
such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors could result in   
changes in amounts to be earned.

The Company held non-income producing fixed maturity securities with an   
estimated fair value of less than $1 million with unrealized gains (losses) of
less than $1 million at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.                      

Methodology for Amortization of Premium and Accretion of Discount on          
Structured Securities                                                           

Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on structured securities
considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying    
loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective    
yields are recalculated when differences arise between the originally         
anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated.    
Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and   
ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based
on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive         
mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the      
effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other         
mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a             
retrospective basis.

Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS 
Securities                                                                      

Evaluation and Measurement Methodologies                                    

  Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and
uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the        
estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for     
near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are 
assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future 
earnings potential. Considerations used in the impairment evaluation process
include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to   
which the estimated fair value has been below cost or amortized cost;       
(ii) the potential for impairments when the issuer is experiencing          
 significant financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an
entire industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in 
certain economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for  
impairments where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has suffered a  
catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) with respect to  
 fixed maturity securities, whether the Company has the intent to sell or will
more likely than not be required to sell a particular security before the   
decline in estimated fair value below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with   
respect to structured securities, changes in forecasted cash flows after    
 considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds,
current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms of 
 the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment priority
within the tranche structure of the security; and (viii) other subjective   
factors, including concentrations and information obtained from regulators  
and rating agencies.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

5. Investments (continued)                                                      

The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of  
credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows:                    

  .  The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash
flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The  
  discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security
prior to impairment.                                                

.  When determining collectability and the period over which value is     
   expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its
overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information
regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and   
geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall  
     macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using
assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely      
scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of  
variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the
 security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and
  principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements;
the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; 
possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and 
   changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.

.  Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features  
  that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited
 to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds,
    current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms
    of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the
payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.      

.  When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign    
corporate securities, state and political subdivision securities and
     foreign government securities, the estimated fair value is considered the
    recovery value when available information does not indicate that another
    value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates
     a recovery value other than estimated fair value, management considers in
   the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in
    its overall impairment evaluation process as described above, as well as
  any private and public sector programs to restructure such securities.

With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity      
 (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as
to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and 
the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe  
and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to    
whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless
of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has
 occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid
security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to 
earnings.                                                                   

The cost or amortized cost of fixed maturity and equity securities is   
adjusted for OTTI in the period in which the determination is made. The     
Company does not change the revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in 
value.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

5. Investments (continued)                                                      

In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity    
security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been  
purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the       
discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over  
the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner   
based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.              

Current Period Evaluation                                                   

Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an   
unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the  
Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of  
security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these         
securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not         
 other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend
primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in
 the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected), and changes
in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. 
If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the 
above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods.                    

  Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased $28 million
during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $13 million to $41 million. The
 increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended December 31, 2013, was
primarily attributable to an increase in interest rates, partially offset by
narrowing credit spreads.                                                   

At December 31, 2013, $5 million of the total $41 million of gross      
unrealized losses were from one below investment grade fixed maturity       
security with an unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost  
for six months or greater. Unrealized losses on the below investment grade  
fixed maturity security are related to non-agency RMBS (alternative         
residential mortgage loans) and are the result of significantly wider credit
spreads resulting from higher risk premiums since purchase, largely due to  
 economic and market uncertainties including concerns over unemployment levels
and valuations of residential real estate supporting non-agency RMBS.       
 Management evaluates non-agency RMBS based on actual and projected cash flows
after considering the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment 
speeds, current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment  
 terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, and the payment
priority within the tranche structure of the security.                      

Equity Securities                                                           

Gross unrealized losses on equity securities decreased $2 million during
the year ended December 31, 2013 from $3 million to $1 million. None of the 
$1 million of gross unrealized losses were from equity securities with gross
unrealized losses of 20% or more of cost for 12 months or greater.

(1)The Company did not purchase any mortgage loans during the year ended        
December 31, 2013. In 2012, the Company purchased $48 million of mortgage 
loans, of which $38 million were purchased at estimated fair value from an
affiliate, MetLife Bank, National Association.                            

Mortgage Loans and Valuation Allowance by Portfolio Segment                   

All commercial and agricultural mortgage loans held at both December 31,  
2013 and 2012 were evaluated collectively for credit losses. The valuation    
allowances maintained at both December 31, 2013 and 2012 were primarily for   
the commercial mortgage loan portfolio segment and were for non-specifically  
identified credit losses. The valuation allowance for agricultural mortgage   
loans was less than $1 million at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.            

Valuation Allowance Rollforward by Portfolio Segment

Valuation Allowance Methodology                                             

Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when it is probable that,  
based upon current information and events, the Company will be unable to    
collect all amounts due under the loan agreement. Specific valuation        
allowances are established using the same methodology for both portfolio    
segments as the excess carrying value of a loan over either (i) the present 
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original       
effective interest rate, (ii) the estimated fair value of the loan's        
underlying collateral if the loan is in the process of foreclosure or       
otherwise collateral dependent, or (iii) the loan's observable market price.
 A common evaluation framework is used for establishing non-specific valuation
 allowances for both loan portfolio segments; however, a separate non-specific
valuation allowance is calculated and maintained for each loan portfolio    
segment that is based on inputs unique to each loan portfolio segment.      
Non-specific valuation allowances are established for pools of loans with   
similar risk characteristics where a property-specific or market-specific   
risk has not been identified, but for which the Company expects to incur a  
credit loss. These evaluations are based upon several loan portfolio        
 segment-specific factors, including the Company's experience for loan losses,
 defaults and loss severity, and loss expectations for loans with similar risk
characteristics. These evaluations are revised as conditions change and new 
information becomes available.                                              

Commercial and Agricultural Mortgage Loan Portfolio Segments                

The Company typically uses several years of historical experience in    
establishing non-specific valuation allowances which captures multiple      
 economic cycles. For evaluations of commercial mortgage loans, in addition to
historical experience, management considers factors that include the impact 
of a rapid change to the economy, which may not be reflected in the loan    
portfolio, and recent loss and recovery trend experience as compared to     
historical loss and recovery experience. For evaluations of agricultural    
mortgage loans, in addition to historical experience, management considers  
factors that include increased stress in certain sectors, which may be      
evidenced by higher delinquency rates, or a change in the number of higher  
 risk loans. On a quarterly basis, management incorporates the impact of these
current market events and conditions on historical experience in determining
the non-specific valuation allowance established for commercial and         
agricultural mortgage loans.                                                

All commercial mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis which may
 include an analysis of the property financial statements and rent roll, lease
rollover analysis, property inspections, market analysis, estimated         
valuations of the underlying collateral, loan-to-value ratios, debt service 
 coverage ratios, and tenant creditworthiness. All agricultural mortgage loans
are monitored on an ongoing basis. The monitoring process focuses on higher 
risk loans, which include those that are classified as restructured,        
delinquent or in foreclosure, as well as loans with higher loan-to-value    
ratios and lower debt service coverage ratios. The monitoring process for   
agricultural mortgage loans is generally similar to the commercial mortgage 
 loan monitoring process, with a focus on higher risk loans, including reviews
on a geographic and property-type basis. Higher risk loans are reviewed     
individually on an ongoing basis for potential credit loss and specific     
valuation allowances are established using the methodology described above. 
Quarterly, the remaining loans are reviewed on a pool basis by aggregating  
groups of loans that have similar risk characteristics for potential credit 
loss, and non-specific valuation allowances are established as described    
above using inputs that are unique to each segment of the loan portfolio.

  For commercial mortgage loans, the primary credit quality indicator is the
 debt service coverage ratio, which compares a property's net operating income
to amounts needed to service the principal and interest due under the loan. 
Generally, the lower the debt service coverage ratio, the higher the risk of
experiencing a credit loss. The Company also reviews the loan-to-value ratio
of its commercial mortgage loan portfolio. Loan-to-value ratios compare the 
unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated fair value of the     
underlying collateral. Generally, the higher the loan-to-value ratio, the   
higher the risk of experiencing a credit loss. The debt service coverage    
ratio and loan-to-value ratio, as well as the values utilized in calculating
 these ratios, are updated annually, on a rolling basis, with a portion of the
loan portfolio updated each quarter.                                        

For agricultural mortgage loans, the Company's primary credit quality   
 indicator is the loan-to-value ratio. The values utilized in calculating this
 ratio are developed in connection with the ongoing review of the agricultural
mortgage loan portfolio and are routinely updated.

Credit Quality of Agricultural Mortgage Loans                                 

All of the agricultural mortgage loans held at both December 31, 2013 and 
2012 had loan-to-value ratios of less than 65%.                               

Past Due, Interest Accrual Status and Impaired Mortgage Loans                 

The Company has a high quality, well performing, mortgage loan portfolio,   
with all mortgage loans classified as performing at both December 31, 2013 and  
2012. The Company defines delinquency consistent with industry practice, when   
mortgage loans are past due as follows: commercial mortgage loans -- 60 days    
and agricultural mortgage loans -- 90 days. The Company had no impaired         
mortgage loans, no mortgage loans past due and no mortgage loans in non-accrual 
status at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company did not recognize        
interest income on impaired mortgage loans during the years ended December 31,  
2013, 2012 and 2011.

Mortgage Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring                      

The Company may grant concessions related to borrowers experiencing       
financial difficulties which are classified as troubled debt restructurings.  
Generally, the types of concessions include: reduction of the contractual     
interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than  
current market interest rates, and/or a reduction of accrued interest. The    
amount, timing and extent of the concession granted is considered in          
determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance     
recorded with the restructuring. Through the continuous monitoring process, a 
specific valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when 
the mortgage loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly,  
the carrying value (after specific valuation allowance) before and after      
modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change             
significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the    
pre-modification recovery assessment.                                         

There were no mortgage loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring    
during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.                            

Other Invested Assets                                                           

Other invested assets is comprised of loans to affiliates (see " -- Related 
Party Investment Transactions") and freestanding derivatives with positive      
estimated fair values (see Note 6).                                             

Cash Equivalents                                                                

The carrying value of cash equivalents, which includes securities and other 
investments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at   
the time of purchase, was $17 million and $23 million at December 31, 2013 and  
2012, respectively.

(1)The Company has pledged invested assets in connection with various           
agreements and transactions, including funding agreements (see Note 2) and
derivative transactions (see Note 6).                                     

See "-- Securities Lending" for securities on loan.                     

Variable Interest Entities                                                      

 The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In
certain instances, the Company may hold both the power to direct the most       
significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the    
entity and, as such, it would be deemed the primary beneficiary or consolidator 
of the entity.                                                                  

The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of
the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's 
relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's     
expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such        
estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a    
qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary.        
However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles 
consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary 
is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will    
absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's     
expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected    
losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a          
quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in  
the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on    
the amounts presented within the financial statements.                          

Consolidated VIEs                                                             

There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the     
primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

(1)The maximum exposure to loss relating to fixed maturity and equity           
  securities AFS is equal to their carrying amounts or the carrying amounts of
retained interests. The maximum exposure to loss relating to other limited
partnership interests is equal to the carrying amounts plus any unfunded  
commitments of the Company. Such a maximum loss would be expected to occur
only upon bankruptcy of the issuer or investee.                           

(2)For these variable interests, the Company's involvement is limited to that   
of a passive investor.                                                    

As described in Note 11, the Company makes commitments to fund partnership
investments in the normal course of business. Excluding these commitments, the
Company did not provide financial or other support to investees designated as 
VIEs during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Accounting for Derivatives                                                      

See Note 1 for a description of the Company's accounting policies for       
derivatives and Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for       
derivatives.                                                                    

Derivative Strategies                                                           

The Company is exposed to various risks relating to its ongoing business    
operations, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, credit and 
equity. The Company uses a variety of strategies to manage these risks,         
including the use of derivatives.                                               

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial   
indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the                
over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives are   
cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"),    
while others are bilateral contracts between two counterparties                 
("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses include swaps,     
futures and option contracts. To a lesser extent, the Company uses credit       
default swaps to synthetically replicate investment risks and returns which are 
not readily available in the cash market.                                       

Interest Rate Derivatives                                                     

The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its     
exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and      
floors.                                                                       

  Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks
from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising    
from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an   
interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at     
specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate      
interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. The 
Company utilizes interest rate swaps in fair value and non-qualifying hedging 
relationships.                                                                

 The Company purchases interest rate floors primarily to protect its minimum
rate guarantee liabilities against declines in interest rates below a         
specified level. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic      
impact of existing purchased floors by entering into offsetting written       
floors. The Company utilizes interest rate floors in non-qualifying hedging   
relationships.                                                                

  To a lesser extent, the Company uses interest rate futures in non-qualifying
hedging relationships.                                                        

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Derivatives                                    

  The Company uses foreign currency swaps to reduce the risk from fluctuations
in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets denominated in  
foreign currencies. In a foreign currency swap transaction, the Company agrees
with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between
one currency and

another at a fixed exchange rate, generally set at inception, calculated by   
reference to an agreed upon notional amount. The notional amount of each      
currency is exchanged at the inception and termination of the currency swap by
each party. The Company utilizes foreign currency swaps in cash flow and      
non-qualifying hedging relationships.                                         

Credit Derivatives                                                            

The Company enters into purchased credit default swaps to hedge against   
credit-related changes in the value of its investments. In a credit default   
swap transaction, the Company agrees with another party to pay, at specified  
intervals, a premium to hedge credit risk. If a credit event occurs, as       
defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or it may be settled
gross by the delivery of par quantities of the referenced investment equal to 
the specified swap notional in exchange for the payment of cash amounts by the
counterparty equal to the par value of the investment surrendered. Credit     
events vary by type of issuer but typically include bankruptcy, failure to pay
debt obligations, repudiation, moratorium, or involuntary restructuring. In   
each case, payout on a credit default swap is triggered only after the Credit 
Derivatives Determinations Committee of the International Swaps and           
Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") deems that a credit event has occurred.
The Company utilizes credit default swaps in non-qualifying hedging           
relationships.                                                                

  The Company enters into written credit default swaps to synthetically create
credit investments that are either more expensive to acquire or otherwise     
unavailable in the cash markets. These transactions are a combination of a    
derivative and one or more cash instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities,
agency securities or other fixed maturity securities. These credit default    
swaps are not designated as hedging instruments.                              

Primary Risks Managed by Derivatives

6. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

 Based on notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company's derivatives
was not designated or did not qualify as part of a hedging relationship at both 
December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company's use of derivatives includes           
(i) derivatives that serve as macro hedges of the Company's exposure to various 
risks and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the         
criteria required under the portfolio hedging rules; (ii) derivatives that      
economically hedge insurance liabilities that contain mortality or morbidity    
risk and that generally do not qualify for hedge accounting because the lack of 
these risks in the derivatives cannot support an expectation of a highly        
effective hedging relationship; and (iii) written credit default swaps that are 
used to synthetically create credit investments and that do not qualify for     
hedge accounting because they do not involve a hedging relationship. For these  
non-qualified derivatives, changes in market factors can lead to the            
recognition of fair value changes in the statement of operations without an     
offsetting gain or loss recognized in earnings for the item being hedged.       

Net Derivative Gains (Losses)

The amount the Company recognized in net investment income from settlement  
payments related to qualifying hedges for the years ended December 31, 2013,    
2012 and 2011, was not significant.                                             

The Company recognized $26 million, $25 million and $14 million of net

The Company designates and accounts for interest rate swaps to convert fixed
rate assets to floating rate assets as fair value hedges when they have met the 
requirements of fair value hedging.                                             

The amounts recognized in net derivative gains (losses) representing the    
ineffective portion of all fair value hedges for each of the years ended        
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not significant. Changes in the fair      
value of the derivatives and the hedged items recognized in net derivative      
gains (losses) were not significant for each of the years ended December 31,    
2013, 2012 and 2011.                                                            

All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the

6. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

In certain instances, the Company discontinued cash flow hedge accounting   
because the forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring. When  
such forecasted transactions are not probable of occurring within two months of 
the anticipated date, the Company reclassifies certain amounts from AOCI into   
net derivative gains (losses). For the year ended December 31, 2013 the amounts 
reclassified into net derivative gains (losses) related to such discontinued    
cash flow hedges were not significant. For both the years ended 2012 and 2011,  
there were no amounts reclassified into net derivative gains (losses) related   
to such discontinued cash flow hedges.                                          

There were no hedged forecasted transactions, other than the receipt or     
payment of variable interest payments, for the years ended December 31, 2013,   
2012 and 2011.                                                                  

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance in AOCI associated with foreign  
currency swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges was ($1) million   
and $1 million, respectively.                                                   

 For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there was ($2) million,
($1) million and $1 million of gains (losses) deferred in AOCI related to       
foreign currency swaps, respectively. For both the years ended December 31,     
2013 and 2012, the amounts reclassified to net derivative gains (losses)        
related to foreign currency swaps were not significant. For the year ended      
December 31, 2011, there were no amounts reclassified to net derivative gains   
(losses) related to foreign currency swaps. For the years ended December 31,    
2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no amounts reclassified to net investment       
income related to foreign currency swaps.                                       

For both the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts recognized 
in net derivative gains (losses) which represented the ineffective portion of   
all cash flow hedges were not significant. For the year ended December 31,      
2011, the Company did not recognize any net derivative gains (losses) which     
represented the ineffective portion of all cash flow hedges.                    

At December 31, 2013, ($1) million of deferred net gains (losses) on        
derivatives in AOCI was expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next 
12 months.                                                                      

All components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the       
assessment of hedge effectiveness.                                              

Credit Derivatives                                                              

In connection with synthetically created credit investment transactions, the
Company writes credit default swaps for which it receives a premium to insure   
credit risk. Such credit derivatives are included within the non-qualifying     
derivatives and derivatives for purposes other than hedging table. If a credit  
event occurs, as defined by the contract, the contract may be cash settled or   
it may be settled gross by the Company paying the counterparty the specified    
swap notional amount in exchange for the delivery of par quantities of the      
referenced credit obligation. The Company's maximum amount at risk, assuming    
the value of all referenced credit obligations is zero, was $20 million and $22 
million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company can terminate  
these contracts at any time through cash settlement with the counterparty at an 
amount equal to the then current fair value of the credit default swaps. At     
both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts the Company would have received to 
terminate all of these contracts was not significant.

(1)The rating agency designations are based on availability and the midpoint of 
 the applicable ratings among Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), S&P and
Fitch Ratings. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an    
internally developed rating is used.                                      

(2)Assumes the value of the referenced credit obligations is zero.              

(3)The weighted average years to maturity of the credit default swaps is        
calculated based on weighted average notional amounts.                    

Credit Risk on Freestanding Derivatives                                         

The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of         
nonperformance by counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit  
exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated  
fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration 
the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral        
received pursuant to such agreements.                                           

The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into 
transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring   
exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are        
generally governed by ISDA Master Agreements which provide for legally          
enforceable set-off and close-out netting of exposures to specific              
counterparties in the event of early termination of a transaction, which        
includes, but is not limited to, events of default and bankruptcy. In the event 
of an early termination, the Company is permitted to set off receivables from   
the counterparty against payables to the same counterparty arising out of all   
included transactions. Substantially all of the Company's ISDA Master           
Agreements also include Credit Support Annex provisions which require both the  
pledging and accepting of collateral in connection with its OTC-bilateral       
derivatives.

6. Derivatives (continued)                                                      

The Company's OTC-cleared derivatives are effected through central clearing 
counterparties and its exchange-traded derivatives are effected through         
regulated exchanges. Such positions are marked to market and margined on a      
daily basis, and the Company has minimal exposure to credit-related losses in   
the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivatives.              

 See Note 7 for a description of the impact of credit risk on the valuation of
derivatives.                                                                    

The estimated fair value of the Company's net derivative assets and net     
derivative liabilities after the application of master netting agreements and   
collateral was as follows at:

(3)Cash collateral received is included in cash and cash equivalents,           
 short-term investments, or in fixed maturity securities, and the obligation
 to return it is included in payables for collateral under securities loaned
 and other transactions in the balance sheets. The receivable for the return
  of cash collateral provided by the Company is inclusive of initial margin on
exchange traded and OTC-cleared derivatives and is included in premiums,  
 reinsurance and other receivables in the balance sheets. The amount of cash
collateral offset in the table above is limited to the net estimated fair 
value of derivatives after application of netting agreements. At both     
 December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had not received or paid any excess
cash collateral.                                                          

(4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial  
accounts and is not recorded on the balance sheets. Subject to certain    
constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this
  collateral, but at December 31, 2013 none of the collateral had been sold or
  repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in fixed
maturity securities in the balance sheets. Subject to certain constraints,
the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this     
  collateral. The amount of securities collateral offset in the table above is
 limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of
 netting agreements and cash collateral. At both December 31, 2013 and 2012,
the Company received excess securities collateral with an estimated fair  
value of $1 million for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, which are not      
included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At both      
December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had provided no excess securities 
collateral for its OTC-bilateral derivatives, and had provided $1 million 
and $0, respectively, for its OTC- cleared derivatives, which are not     
included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At both      
December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not pledge any securities     
collateral for its exchange-traded derivatives.                           

The Company's collateral arrangements for its OTC-bilateral derivatives     
generally require the counterparty in a net liability position, after           
considering the effect of netting agreements, to pledge collateral when the     
fair value of that counterparty's derivatives reaches a pre-determined          
threshold. Certain of these arrangements also include financial                 
strength-contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds 
(on a sliding scale that converges toward zero) in the event of downgrades in   
the financial strength ratings of the Company and/or the credit ratings of the  
counterparty. In addition, certain of the Company's netting agreements for      
derivatives contain provisions that require both the Company and the            
counterparty to maintain a specific investment grade financial strength or      
credit rating from each of Moody's and S&P. If a party's financial strength or  
credit ratings were to fall below that specific investment grade financial      
strength or credit rating, that party would be in violation of these            
provisions, and the other party to the derivatives could terminate the          
transactions and demand immediate settlement and payment based on such party's  
reasonable valuation of the derivatives.                                        

The following table presents the estimated fair value of the Company's      
OTC-bilateral derivatives that are in a net liability position after            
considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair  
value and balance sheet location of the collateral pledged. The table also      
presents the incremental collateral that the Company would be required to       
provide if there was a one notch downgrade in the Company's financial strength  
rating at the reporting date or if the Company's financial strength rating      
sustained a downgrade to a level that

Embedded Derivatives                                                            

The Company issues certain products or purchases certain investments that   
contain embedded derivatives that are required to be separated from their host  
contracts and accounted for as freestanding derivatives. These host contracts   
principally include: variable annuities with guaranteed minimum benefits,       
including GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs; and affiliated ceded reinsurance of   
guaranteed minimum benefits related to GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs.

  the valuation of ceded guaranteed minimum benefits includes a nonperformance
risk adjustment. The amounts included in net derivative gains (losses) in 
connection with this adjustment were $42 million, $28 million and ($62)   
 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(2)See Note 4 for discussion of affiliated net derivative gains (losses)        
included in the table above.                                              

7. Fair Value                                                                   

When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad    
valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and    
(iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation  
technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of          
sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company            
categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a  
three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in  
its valuation. The input levels are as follows:                                 

Level 1  Unadjusted quoted prices in active     
 markets for identical assets or
  liabilities. The Company defines
 active markets based on average
       trading volume for equity securities.
   The size of the bid/ask spread is
used as an indicator of market
activity for fixed maturity   
securities.                   

Level 2  Quoted prices in markets that are not  
      active or inputs that are observable
      either directly or indirectly. These
      inputs can include quoted prices for
     similar assets or liabilities other
       than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted
prices in markets that are not
     active, or other significant inputs
       that are observable or can be derived
     principally from or corroborated by
observable market data for    
    substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.        

Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are           
  supported by little or no market
     activity and are significant to the
       determination of estimated fair value
of the assets or liabilities. 
 Unobservable inputs reflect the
    reporting entity's own assumptions
   about the assumptions that market
       participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability.           

Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid       
depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The 
Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for      
these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and       
increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of        
certain securities.                                                             

Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to      
develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or        
valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value  
amounts.

7. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets  
and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation           
techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are   
classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.              

Investments                                                                   

Valuation Controls and Procedures                                           

 On behalf of the Company and MetLife, Inc.'s Chief Investment Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is          
independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior  
management, provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for
securities, mortgage loans and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this      
committee reviews and approves new transaction types and markets, ensures   
that observable market prices and market-based parameters are used for      
valuation, wherever possible, and determines that judgmental valuation      
adjustments, when applied, are based upon established policies and are      
 applied consistently over time. This committee also provides oversight of the
selection of independent third party pricing providers and the controls and 
procedures to evaluate third party pricing. Periodically, the Chief         
 Accounting Officer reports to the Audit Committee of MetLife, Inc.'s Board of
Directors regarding compliance with fair value accounting standards.        

The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and 
revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market         
conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent
 application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with
fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure         
valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including
certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of
portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of 
executed prices of securities sold to the fair value estimates, comparing   
fair value estimates to management's knowledge of the current market,       
reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess activity, comparing prices from     
multiple independent pricing services and ongoing due diligence to confirm  
that independent pricing services use market-based parameters. The process  
includes a determination of the observability of inputs used in estimated   
fair values received from independent pricing services or brokers by        
 assessing whether these inputs can be corroborated by observable market data.
The Company ensures that prices received from independent brokers, also     
 referred to herein as "consensus pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of
 fair value by considering such pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of
the current market dynamics and current pricing for similar financial       
instruments. While independent non-binding broker quotations are utilized,  
they are not used for a significant portion of the portfolio. For example,  
fixed maturity securities priced using independent non-binding broker       
quotations represent less than 1% of the total estimated fair value of fixed
 maturity securities and 2% of the total estimated fair value of Level 3 fixed
maturity securities.                                                        

  The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received
from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of 
estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services  
are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of       
 estimated fair value, independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained,
or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed      
valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates
of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from  
 the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the
estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly,       
overrides were

not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of liquidity and 
nonperformance risks are generally based on available market evidence and   
estimates used by other market participants. In the absence of such         
market-based evidence, management's best estimate is used.                  

Securities and Short-term Investments                                       

  When available, the estimated fair value of these financial instruments is
based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly     
obtainable. Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities
holdings and valuation of these securities does not involve management's    
judgment.                                                                   

 When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination
of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies,
giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market  
standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with       
 reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the
market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable   
market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard  
valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated
fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived       
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These         
unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or  
estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even    
 though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent
with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities  
and are considered appropriate given the circumstances.                     

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

This level includes securities priced principally by independent pricing
services using observable inputs. Short-term investments within this level  
are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed maturity securities  
and equity securities.                                                      

U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities                           

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
 approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that
  are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use
standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off   
benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of   
identical or comparable securities. Privately-placed securities are valued
 using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs,
and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data       
including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices
and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that   
incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer, and in  
certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit-related
issues.                                                                   

U.S. Treasury and agency securities                                       

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not   
active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard
 market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the
spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and   
comparable securities that are actively traded.

Structured securities comprised of RMBS, CMBS and ABS                     

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted  
cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market 
inputs, including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off     
benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and     
 forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average
maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service      
coverage ratios and issuance-specific information, including, but not     
  limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment
  priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and
vintage of loans.                                                         

State and political subdivision and foreign government securities         

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
  Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques
  using standard market observable inputs, including a benchmark U.S. Treasury
 yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads
and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same
sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating.                   

Common stock                                                              

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
Valuations are based principally on observable inputs, including quoted   
prices in markets that are not considered active.                         

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same   
 valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for Level 2. However,
if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less liquid and   
there is very limited trading activity, the investments are generally       
classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker quotations 
to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of liquidity or a  
lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation estimates,     
generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3.            

U.S. corporate and foreign corporate securities                           

   These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities
classified within fixed maturity securities, are principally valued using 
the market approach. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or  
other similar techniques that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that  
cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market 
data, including illiquidity premium, delta spread adjustments to reflect  
 specific credit-related issues, credit spreads; and inputs including quoted
  prices for identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on
lower levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2.   
Certain valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations.

Structured securities comprised of RMBS, CMBS and ABS

inputs that are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or    
corroborated by, observable market data, including credit spreads. Below  
investment grade securities and sub-prime RMBS included in this level are 
valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar   
securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading      
 activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain of these valuations
are based on independent non-binding broker quotations.                   

Non-redeemable preferred stock                                            

   These securities, including financial services industry hybrid securities
  classified within equity securities, are principally valued using the market
and income approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing,  
 discounted cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using inputs
such as comparable credit rating and issuance structure. Certain of these 
 securities are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical
or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of   
trading activity than securities classified in Level 2 and independent    
non-binding broker quotations.                                            

Separate Account Assets                                                     

   Separate account assets are carried at estimated fair value and reported as
a summarized total on the balance sheets. The estimated fair value of       
separate account assets is based on the estimated fair value of the         
underlying assets. Separate account assets within the Company's separate    
accounts consist of mutual funds.

the mutual funds is based upon quoted prices or reported NAV provided by the
fund managers.                                                              

Derivatives                                                                   

The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of  
quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives or through the use of    
pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The             
determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not      
available, is based on market standard valuation methodologies and inputs that
management believes are consistent with what other market participants would  
use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by   
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices,
credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and  
changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation
controls and procedures for derivatives are described in "-- Investments."    

The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and   
OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be
derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.         
Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates,     
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and      
volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may    
rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not  
observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or            
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are          
unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and   
inputs that are outside the observable portion of

7. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

the interest rate curve, credit curve, volatility or other relevant market    
measure. These unobservable inputs may involve significant management judgment
or estimation. Even though unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions
deemed appropriate given the circumstances and management believes they are   
consistent with what other market participants would use when pricing such    
instruments.                                                                  

Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market  
inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are    
deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use
of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect
on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially
affect net income.                                                            

The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in
determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared    
derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure 
by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements   
and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and         
OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread 
to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This  
credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing 
levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its
significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing
levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are 
not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to     
consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting     
agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its      
significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to    
make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each      
reporting period.                                                             

Freestanding Derivatives                                                      

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

 This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company with
the exception of exchange traded derivatives included within Level 1 and    
those derivatives with unobservable inputs as described in Level 3. These   
derivatives are principally valued using the income approach.               

Interest rate                                                             

   Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which
utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve and basis
curves.                                                                   

    Option-based. Valuations are based on option pricing models, which utilize
significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis curves and
interest rate volatility.                                                 

Foreign currency exchange rate                                            

   Non-option-based. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which
utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis   
curves, currency spot rates and cross currency basis curves.              

Embedded Derivatives                                                          

Embedded derivatives principally include certain direct variable annuity  
guarantees and certain affiliated ceded reinsurance agreements related to such
variable annuity guarantees. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated   
fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in net income.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

7. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

  The Company issues certain variable annuity products with guaranteed minimum
benefits. GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs contain embedded derivatives, which  
are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host variable annuity
contract, with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative     
gains (losses). These embedded derivatives are classified within PABs in the  
balance sheets.                                                               

  The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value
of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees 
using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations         
concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial    
department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed   
using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows  
from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios  
using observable risk free rates.                                             

Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied           
volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to   
the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied           
volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable
implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions,      
including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and  
are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical       
experience.                                                                   

The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk 
adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market   
inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into            
consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the       
secondary market for MetLife's debt, including related credit default swaps.  
These observable spreads are then adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the      
priority of these liabilities and the claims paying ability of the issuing    
insurance subsidiaries compared to MetLife.                                   

 Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the
instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant   
would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such        
actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial          
withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use 
of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and   
cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more  
costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market          
conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity   
indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in    
nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding        
policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital      
market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair   
value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income.              

  The Company ceded, to an affiliated reinsurance company, the risk associated
with certain of the GMIBs, GMABs and GMWBs described above that are also      
accounted for as embedded derivatives. In addition to ceding risks associated 
with guarantees that are accounted for as embedded derivatives, the Company   
also cedes, to the same affiliated reinsurance company, certain directly      
written GMIBs that are accounted for as insurance (i.e., not as embedded      
derivatives), but where the reinsurance agreement contains an embedded        
derivative. These embedded derivatives are included within premiums,          
reinsurance and other receivables in the balance sheets with changes in       
estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). The value of  
the embedded derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology  
consistent with that described previously for the guarantees directly written 
by the Company with the exception of the input for nonperformance risk that   
reflects the credit of the reinsurer.

Embedded Derivatives Within Asset and Liability Host Contracts              

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

Direct guaranteed minimum benefits                                        

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income    
approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize
significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange   
  rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3
classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not      
observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or        
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs  
generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap 
  yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder
behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder      
  behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes
of calculating the risk margin.                                           

Reinsurance ceded on certain guaranteed minimum benefits                  

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income    
approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard        
unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described
above in "-- Direct Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also include         
counterparty credit spreads.                                              

Transfers between Levels                                                      

Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the     
observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any     
level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period.                    

Transfers between Levels 1 and 2:                                           

 There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for assets and liabilities
  measured at estimated fair value and still held at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Transfers into or out of Level 3:                                           

Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant  
input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when  
market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be     
 observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are significant
variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency. Assets and      
liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such   
that a significant input can be corroborated with market observable data.   
This may be due to a significant increase in market activity, a specific    
event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming observable.             

  Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to
 a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings downgrades
(e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which have resulted 
in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use of independent 
non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such as illiquidity  
premiums, delta spread adjustments, or credit spreads.

7. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

 Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily
from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to       
issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent
 pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was able
to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from, independent   
pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable spreads used in 
pricing securities) or increases in market activity and upgraded credit     
ratings.

(1)The weighted average for fixed maturity securities is determined based on    
the estimated fair value of the securities.                               

(2)The impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact on the      
  estimated fair value. For embedded derivatives, changes to direct guaranteed
minimum benefits are based on liability positions and changes to ceded    
guaranteed minimum benefits are based on asset positions.

(3)Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation     
would result in substantially lower (higher) valuations.                  

(4)Range and weighted average are presented in basis points.                    

(5)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market       
convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of
par.                                                                      

(6)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default is            
  accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the
loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used 
for prepayment rates.                                                     

(7)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as       
gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A     
mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract, 
mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are      
projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative.                

(8)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison of 
the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current policyholder 
account value, as well as other factors, such as the applicability of any 
  surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces the base lapse rate when
the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value as in the money   
contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are also generally assumed
to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. For any given     
contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are
projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative.                

(9)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract holders 
with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to utilize the  
  benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type of guarantee,
  the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value,
the contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the policyholder. For 
 any given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the period over which
cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. 

(10)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any   
  given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The
  withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and
also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract,     
withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are   
 projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any
 increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease)
in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any 
   increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in
the estimated fair value.                                               

(11)Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period 
for which observable equity volatilities are available. For any given   
   contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over
which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded     
derivative.                                                             

(12)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any      
  given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending
 on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing
the embedded derivative.

7. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant      
unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and            
liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding    
table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3 use 
the same valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs as previously 
described for Level 3 securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted   
cash flow methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar  
securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity   
than securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding       
broker quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in    
the significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is   
similar in nature to that described in the preceding table.                     

The following tables summarize the change of all assets and (liabilities)   
measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis using significant         
unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Other Than Fair Value            

 The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments
that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These   
tables exclude the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents,  
accrued investment income and payables for collateral under securities loaned   
and other transactions. The estimated fair value of the excluded financial      
instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2 and, to a lesser extent, 
in Level 1, approximates carrying value as they are short-term in nature such   
that the Company believes there is minimal risk of material changes in interest 
rates or credit quality. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the  
table below are not considered financial instruments subject to this disclosure.

 The carrying values and estimated fair values for such financial instruments,
and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy, are summarized   
as follows at:

 The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used
to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:  

Mortgage Loans                                                                

For mortgage loans, estimated fair value is primarily determined by       
estimating expected future cash flows and discounting them using current      
interest rates for similar mortgage loans with similar credit risk, or is     
determined from pricing for similar loans.                                    

Policy Loans                                                                  

Policy loans with fixed interest rates are classified within Level 3. The 
estimated fair values for these loans are determined using a discounted cash  
flow model applied to groups of similar policy loans determined by the nature 
of the underlying insurance liabilities. Cash flow estimates are developed by 
applying a weighted-average interest rate to the outstanding principal balance
of the respective group of policy loans and an estimated average maturity     
determined through experience studies of the past performance of policyholder 
repayment behavior for similar loans. These cash flows are discounted using   
current risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk  
as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the    
underlying insurance policy. Policy loans with variable interest rates are    
classified within Level 2 and the estimated fair value approximates carrying  
value due to the absence of borrower credit risk and the short time period    
between interest rate resets, which presents minimal risk of a material change
in estimated fair value due to changes in market interest rates.              

Other Limited Partnership Interests                                           

The estimated fair values of these cost method investments are generally  
based on the Company's share of the NAV as provided in the financial          
statements of the investees. In certain circumstances, management may adjust  
the NAV by a premium or discount when it has sufficient evidence to support   
applying such adjustments.

7. Fair Value (continued)                                                       

Other Invested Assets                                                         

These other invested assets are principally comprised of loans to         
affiliates. The estimated fair value of loans to affiliates is determined by  
discounting the expected future cash flows using market interest rates        
currently available for instruments with similar terms and remaining          
maturities.                                                                   

Premiums, Reinsurance and Other Receivables                                   

Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of  
certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements.                     

Amounts recoverable under ceded reinsurance agreements, which the Company 
has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are accounted  
for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as Level 3.  
The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant
unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using interest    
rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the assuming   
counterparty.                                                                 

Other Assets                                                                  

Other assets are comprised of a receivable for the reimbursable portion of
the estimated future guaranty liability that pertains to pre-acquisition      
business. With the exception of the receivable, other assets are not          
considered financial instruments subject to disclosure. Accordingly, the      
amount represents the receivable from an unaffiliated institution for which   
the estimated fair value was determined by discounting the expected future    
cash flows using a discount rate that reflects the credit standing of the     
unaffiliated institution.                                                     

PABs                                                                          

 These PABs include investment contracts. Embedded derivatives on investment
contracts and certain variable annuity guarantees accounted for as embedded   
derivatives are excluded from this caption in the preceding tables as they are
separately presented in "-- Recurring Fair Value Measurements."               

The investment contracts primarily include fixed deferred annuities and   
fixed term payout annuities. The valuation of these investment contracts is   
based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable    
inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using current market risk-free 
interest rates adding a spread to reflect the nonperformance risk in the      
liability.                                                                    

Other Liabilities                                                             

Other liabilities consist of derivative payables and amounts due for      
securities purchased but not yet settled. The Company evaluates the specific  
terms, facts and circumstances of each instrument to determine the appropriate
estimated fair values, which are not materially different from the carrying   
values.

8. Equity                                                                       

Statutory Equity and Income                                                     

Each U.S. insurance company's state of domicile imposes risk-based capital  
("RBC") requirements that were developed by the National Association of         
Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). Regulatory compliance is determined by a      
ratio of a company's total adjusted capital, calculated in the manner           
prescribed by the NAIC ("TAC") to its authorized control level RBC, calculated  
in the manner prescribed by the NAIC ("ACL RBC"). Companies below specific      
trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, each of which    
requires specified corrective action. The minimum level of TAC before           
corrective action commences is twice ACL RBC ("Company Action RBC"). The RBC    
ratio for the Company was in excess of 1,400% for all periods presented.        

The Company prepares statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the insurance         
department of its state of domicile. The NAIC has adopted the Codification of   
Statutory Accounting Principles ("Statutory Codification"). Statutory           
Codification is intended to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting to  
state insurance departments. However, statutory accounting principles continue  
to be established by individual state laws and permitted practices.             
Modifications by state insurance departments may impact the effect of Statutory 
Codification on the statutory capital and surplus of the Company.               

 Statutory accounting principles differ from GAAP primarily by charging policy
acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit    
liabilities using different actuarial assumptions, reporting of reinsurance     
agreements and valuing securities on a different basis.                         

In addition, certain assets are not admitted under statutory accounting     
principles and are charged directly to surplus. The most significant assets not 
admitted by the Company are net deferred income tax assets resulting from       
temporary differences between statutory accounting principles basis and tax     
basis not expected to reverse and become recoverable within three years.        

 Statutory net income (loss) of the Company, a Missouri domiciled insurer, was
$111 million, $132 million and $94 million for the years ended December 31,     
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $666       
million and $704 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All such  
amounts are derived from the statutory-basis financial statements as filed with 
the Missouri State Department of Insurance.                                     

Dividend Restrictions                                                           

Under Missouri State Insurance Law, MLIIC is permitted, without prior       
insurance regulatory clearance, to pay a stockholder dividend to MetLife as     
long as the amount of the dividend when aggregated with all other dividends in  
the preceding 12 months does not exceed the greater of: (i) 10% of its surplus  
to policyholders as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year; or   
(ii) its statutory net gain from operations for the immediately preceding       
calendar year (excluding net realized capital gains). MLIIC will be permitted   
to pay a dividend to MetLife in excess of the greater of such two amounts only  
if it files notice of the declaration of such a dividend and the amount thereof 
with the Missouri Director of Insurance (the "Missouri Director") and the       
Missouri Director either approves the distribution of the dividend or does not  
disapprove the distribution within 30 days of its filing. In addition, any      
dividend that exceeds earned surplus (defined by the Company as "unassigned     
funds (surplus)") as of the last filed annual statutory statement requires      
insurance regulatory approval. Under Missouri State Insurance Law, the Missouri 
Director has broad discretion in determining

whether the financial condition of a stock life insurance company would support 
the payment of such dividends to its stockholders. During the years ended       
December 31, 2013 and 2012, MLIIC paid a dividend to MetLife of $129 million    
and $18 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, MLIIC   
did not pay a dividend to MetLife. Based on amounts at December 31, 2013, MLIIC 
could pay a stockholder dividend in 2014 of $99 million without prior           
regulatory approval of the Missouri Director.

MetLife Investors Insurance Company 
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.)  

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

10. Income Tax (continued)                                                      

Tax credit carryforwards of $5 million at December 31, 2013 will expire   
beginning in 2021.                                                            

The Company participates in a tax sharing agreement with MetLife, as      
described in Note 1. Pursuant to this tax sharing agreement, the amounts due  
from affiliates include $18 million and $8 million at December 31, 2013 and   
2012, respectively. The amounts due to affiliates include $8 million at       
December 31, 2011.                                                            

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and 
various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is under continuous        
examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities 
in jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations. The
income tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. The Company is no    
longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations in     
major taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2006. The IRS audit cycle for   
the year 2006, which began in April 2010, is expected to conclude in 2014.    

It is not expected that there will be a material change in the Company's  
liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.                

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax   
benefits was as follows:

There were no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 and 2011.    

  The Company classifies interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits
in interest expense, included within other expenses, while penalties are      
included in income tax expense.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

10. Income Tax (continued)                                                      

There was no interest recognized in the statements of operations for the  
years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. There was no interest included in     
other liabilities in the balance sheets at December 31, 2012.                 

  The Company had no penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and
2011.                                                                         

 The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have indicated that they intend to
address through regulations the methodology to be followed in determining the 
dividends received deduction ("DRD"), related to variable life insurance and  
annuity contracts. The DRD reduces the amount of dividend income subject to   
tax and is a significant component of the difference between the actual tax   
expense and expected amount determined using the federal statutory tax rate of
35%. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this    
area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance    
companies and other interested parties will have the opportunity to raise     
legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such
regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing and substance of any such       
regulations are unknown at this time. For the years ended December 31, 2013   
and 2012, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $14 million and $8  
million, respectively, related to the separate account DRD. The 2013 benefit  
included a benefit of $2 million related to a true-up of the 2012 tax return. 
The 2012 benefit included an expense of $3 million related to a true-up of the
2011 tax return.                                                              

11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees                                   

Contingencies                                                                   

Litigation                                                                    

Unclaimed Property Inquiries                                                

  In April 2012, MetLife, for itself and on behalf of entities including the
Company, reached agreements with representatives of the U.S. jurisdictions  
that were conducting audits of MetLife and certain of its affiliates for    
compliance with unclaimed property laws, and with state insurance regulators
directly involved in a multistate targeted market conduct examination       
relating to claim-payment practices and compliance with unclaimed property  
laws. At least one other jurisdiction is pursuing a market conduct          
examination. It is possible that other jurisdictions may pursue similar     
examinations or audits and that such actions may result in additional       
payments to beneficiaries, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned 
under state laws, administrative penalties, interest, and/or further changes
to the Company's procedures. The Company is not currently able to estimate  
these additional possible costs.                                            

Sales Practices Claims                                                      

Over the past several years, the Company has faced claims and regulatory
inquiries and investigations, alleging improper marketing or sales of       
individual life insurance policies, annuities, mutual funds or other        
products. The Company continues to vigorously defend against the claims in  
these matters. The Company believes adequate provision has been made in its 
financial statements for all probable and reasonably estimable losses for   
sales practices matters.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued)                       

Summary                                                                     

   Various litigation, claims and assessments against the Company, have arisen
in the course of the Company's business, including, but not limited to, in  
connection with its activities as an insurer, employer, investor, investment
advisor, and taxpayer. Further, state insurance regulatory authorities and  
other federal and state authorities regularly make inquiries and conduct    
investigations concerning the Company's compliance with applicable insurance
and other laws and regulations.                                             

It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of all pending       
investigations and legal proceedings. In some of the matters, very large    
and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are    
sought. Although in light of these considerations it is possible that an    
adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material effect upon the      
Company's financial position, based on information currently known by the   
Company's management, in its opinion, the outcomes of such pending          
investigations and legal proceedings are not likely to have such an effect. 
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 effect on the Company's net income or cash flows in particular     
annual periods.                                                             

Insolvency Assessments                                                        

Most of the jurisdictions in which the Company is admitted to transact    
business require insurers doing business within the jurisdiction to           
participate in guaranty associations, which are organized to pay contractual  
benefits owed pursuant to insurance policies issued by impaired, insolvent or 
failed insurers. These associations levy assessments, up to prescribed limits,
on all member insurers in a particular state on the basis of the proportionate
share of the premiums written by member insurers in the lines of business in  
which the impaired, insolvent or failed insurer engaged. Some states permit   
member insurers to recover assessments paid through full or partial premium   
tax offsets. Assets and liabilities held for insolvency assessments were as   
follows:

11. Contingencies, Commitments and Guarantees (continued)                       

Commitments                                                                     

Commitments to Fund Partnership Investments                                   

 The Company makes commitments to fund partnership investments in the normal
course of business. The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $7 million 
and $9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company       
anticipates that these amounts will be invested in partnerships over the next 
five years.                                                                   

Mortgage Loan Commitments                                                     

The Company commits to lend funds under mortgage loan commitments. The    
amounts of these mortgage loan commitments were $6 million and $1 million at  
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.                                     

Commitments to Fund Private Corporate Bond Investments                        

 The Company commits to lend funds under private corporate bond investments.
The amounts of these unfunded commitments were $14 million and $13 million at 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.                                     

Guarantees                                                                      

In the normal course of its business, the Company has provided certain      
indemnities, guarantees and commitments to third parties such that it may be    
required to make payments now or in the future. In the context of acquisition,  
disposition, investment and other transactions, the Company has provided        
indemnities and guarantees, including those related to tax, environmental and   
other specific liabilities, and other indemnities and guarantees that are       
triggered by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties or    
covenants provided by the Company. In addition, in the normal course of         
business, the Company provides indemnifications to counterparties in contracts  
with triggers similar to the foregoing, as well as for certain other            
liabilities, such as third-party lawsuits. These obligations are often subject  
to time limitations that vary in duration, including contractual limitations    
and those that arise by operation of law, such as applicable statutes of        
limitation. In some cases, the maximum potential obligation under the           
indemnities and guarantees is subject to a contractual limitation, while in     
other cases such limitations are not specified or applicable. Since certain of  
these obligations are not subject to limitations, the Company does not believe  
that it is possible to determine the maximum potential amount that could become 
due under these guarantees in the future. Management believes that it is        
unlikely the Company will have to make any material payments under these        
indemnities, guarantees, or commitments.                                        

In addition, the Company indemnifies its directors and officers as provided 
in its charters and by-laws. Also, the Company indemnifies its agents for       
liabilities incurred as a result of their representation of the Company's       
interests. Since these indemnities are generally not subject to limitation with 
respect to duration or amount, the Company does not believe that it is possible 
to determine the maximum potential amount that could become due under these     
indemnities in the future.                                                      

The Company had no liability for indemnities, guarantees and commitments at 
both December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Notes to the Financial Statements -- (Continued)  

12. Related Party Transactions                                                  

Service Agreements                                                              

The Company has entered into various agreements with affiliates for services
necessary to conduct its activities. Typical services provided under these      
agreements include management, policy administrative functions, personnel,      
investment advice and distribution services. For certain agreements, charges    
are based on various performance measures or activity-based costing. The bases  
for such charges are modified and adjusted by management when necessary or      
appropriate to reflect fairly and equitably the actual incidence of cost        
incurred by the Company and/or affiliate. Expenses incurred with affiliates

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT  

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of                                    
Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd.:                                               

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Exeter Reassurance     
Company, Ltd. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc.) (the "Company"),     
which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the     
related statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder's    
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements.                    

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                        

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these    
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally         
accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,             
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation 
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material       
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.                                    

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITY                                                        

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards    
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require     
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.                   

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the      
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected    
depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of      
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or      
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control 
relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial    
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the      
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the          
effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no     
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of          
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting       
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of 
the financial statements.                                                       

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and           
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.                           

OPINION                                                                         

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in   
all material respects, the financial position of Exeter Reassurance Company,    
Ltd. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and    
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,     
2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States of America.                                                              

EMPHASIS OF MATTER                                                              

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial  
statements have been restated to correct misstatements on the 2013, 2012 and    
2011 statements of cash flows. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this 
matter.                                                                         

OTHER MATTERS                                                                   

In our report dated April 2, 2014 on the previously issued 2012 financial       
statements filed with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA"), we        
expressed an opinion that the Company's 2012 balance sheet did not fairly       
present insurance liabilities and, accordingly, did not conform to the          
presentation required under accounting principles generally accepted in the     
United States of America. That presentation was based on practices prescribed   
or permitted by CIMA. As noted in Note 1, in these general purpose financial    
statements, the Company has changed its presentation of insurance liabilities   
to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of  
America. Accordingly, our present opinion on the 2012 financial statements, as  
presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.      

In addition, results of the Company may not be indicative of those of a         
stand-alone entity, as the Company is a member of a controlled group of         
affiliated companies.                                                           

/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP

(October 27, 2014 as to Note 1 related to the restatements and November 7, 2014 
as to Note 14)

POLICIES                                                                        

BUSINESS                                                                        

Exeter Reassurance Company, Ltd. (the "Company" or "Exeter") is a           
wholly-owned stock life insurance subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. (the "Holding     
Company").                                                                      

In 2011, the Company was redomesticated to the Cayman Islands. The Company  
was licensed as an Unrestricted Class B Insurer under the Insurance Law of the  
Cayman Islands (the "Law").                                                     

Effective October 1, 2013, the Company redomesticated to the state of       
Delaware ("Delaware"). The Company is licensed as a Delaware pure captive       
insurance company under the Delaware Captive Insurance Law ("Delaware Law").    
The Company engages in traditional and financial reinsurance of life insurance  
and annuity policies, primarily with affiliates.                                

In the second quarter of 2013, the Holding Company announced its plans to   
merge three U.S.-based life insurance companies and an offshore reinsurance     
subsidiary to create one larger U.S.-based and U.S.-regulated life insurance    
company (the "Mergers"). The companies to be merged consist of MetLife          
Insurance Company of Connecticut ("MICC"), MetLife Investors USA Insurance      
Company ("MLI-USA") and MetLife Investors Insurance Company ("MLIIC"), each a   
U.S. insurance company that issues variable annuity products in addition to     
other products, and Exeter. MICC, which is expected to be renamed and domiciled 
in Delaware, will be the surviving entity. The Mergers are expected to occur in 
the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals.                    

BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                                           

The Company has previously prepared, and filed, financial statements that   
comply with the filing requirements of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority    
("CIMA"). The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,    
2012 presented insurance liabilities in the balance sheet in accordance with    
practices prescribed or permitted by CIMA, which presentation differs from the  
presentation requirements under generally accepted accounting principles. The   
presentation of insurance liabilities in these financial statements has been    
revised to present such amounts in accordance with accounting principles        
generally accepted in the United States.                                        

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting       
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires 
management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that 
affect amounts reported in the financial statements. In applying these policies 
and estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that           
frequently require assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain.     
Many of these policies, estimates and related judgments are common in the       
insurance and financial services industries; others are specific to the         
Company's business and operations. Actual results could differ from estimates.  

Since the Company is a member of a controlled group of affiliated companies,
its results may not be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

RESTATEMENTS                                                                    

The Company identified the following errors relating to the 2013, 2012 and  
2011 statements of cash flows:                                                  

.  Net cash provided by operating activities was overstated and net cash
  used in investing activities was understated in 2012, as a result of
     errors relating to the non-cash component of the consideration received
for the transfer of business to the Company from an affiliate.    
.  The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on cash and
cash equivalents were incorrectly reported in 2013, 2012 and 2011,
resulting in offsetting impacts on net cash provided by operating 
activities and net cash used in investing activities.             
.  Certain transactions relating to fees on embedded derivatives were   
    incorrectly reported in the cash flow statement in 2013, 2012 and 2011
     including: (a) cash transactions incorrectly reported in (gains) losses
    on derivatives, net, resulting in impacts to both net cash provided by
     operating activities and net cash used in investing activities: and (b)
     non-cash transactions incorrectly reported in cash flows from investing
activities in other, net, resulting in impacts to net cash used in
investing activities.                                             
.  Non-cash transactions relating to funds withheld at interest were    
    incorrectly reported in net cash used in investing activities in 2013,
2012 and 2011.                                                    

The combined errors resulted in an overstatement/(understatement) of (i) net
cash provided by operating activities of $93,333 thousand, $991,168 thousand    
and ($76,861) thousand in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively; (ii) net cash used 
in investing activities of ($139,097) thousand, ($1,014,723) thousand and       
$83,926 thousand in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and (iii) the effect of  
change in foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents of       
$45,764 thousand, $23,555 thousand and ($7,065) thousand in 2013, 2012 and      
2011, respectively.                                                             

The impact of the 2013, 2012 and 2011 restatements is shown in the tables   
below:

FUTURE POLICYHOLDER BENEFITS, POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES AND OTHER         
POLICY-RELATED BALANCES                                                         

The Company establishes liabilities for insurance policies assumed by the   
Company. Generally, amounts are payable over an extended period of time and     
related liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expected      
benefits to be paid reduced by the present value of future expected premiums.   
Such liabilities are established based on methods and underlying assumptions in 
accordance with GAAP and applicable actuarial standards. Principal assumptions  
used in the establishment of liabilities for future policy benefits are         
mortality, morbidity, policy lapse, renewal, retirement, investment returns,    
inflation, expenses and other contingent events as appropriate to the           
respective product type. For long duration insurance contracts, assumptions     
such as mortality and interest rates are "locked in" upon the issuance of new   
business. However, significant adverse changes in experience on such contracts  
may require the establishment of premium deficiency reserves. Such reserves are 
determined based on the then current assumptions and do not include a provision 
for adverse deviation.                                                          

Liabilities for assumed universal secondary guarantees are determined by    
estimating the expected value of death benefits payable when the account        
balance is projected to be zero and recognizing those benefits ratably over the 
accumulation period based on total expected assessments. The assumptions used   
in estimating the secondary liabilities are consistent with those used for      
amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC"), and are thus subject to   
the same variability and risk as further discussed herein. The assumptions of   
investment performance and volatility for variable products are consistent with 
historical experience of appropriate underlying equity indices, such as the     
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") 500 Index. The benefits used in      
calculating the liabilities assumed are based on the average benefits payable   
over a range of scenarios.                                                      

The assumed unearned revenue liability included in other policy-related     
balances relates to universal life-type products and represents policy charges  
for services to be provided in future periods. The charges are deferred as      
unearned revenue and amortized using the product's estimated gross profits,     
similar to DAC as discussed further herein. Such amortization is recorded in    
universal life and investment-type product policy fees.                         

The Company regularly reviews its estimates of liabilities for future policy
benefits and compares them with its actual experience. Differences result in    
changes to the liability balances with related charges or credits to benefit    
expenses in the period in which the changes occur.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

The Company assumed and ceded guaranteed minimum benefits associated with   
certain variable annuity product risks that provide the policyholder a minimum  
return based on their initial deposit (i.e., the benefit base) less             
withdrawals. These guarantees are accounted for as insurance liabilities or as  
embedded derivatives depending on how and when the benefit is paid.             
Specifically, a guarantee is accounted for as an embedded derivative if a       
guarantee is paid without requiring (i) the occurrence of specific insurable    
event, or (ii) the policyholder to annuitize. Alternatively, a guarantee is     
accounted for as an insurance liability if the guarantee is paid only upon      
either (i) the occurrence of a specific insurable event, or (ii) annuitization. 
In certain cases, a guarantee may have elements of both an insurance liability  
and an embedded derivative and in such cases the guarantee is split and         
accounted for under both models.                                                

Guarantees assumed are accounted for as insurance liabilities in future     
policy benefits include guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB"), the portion 
of guaranteed minimum income benefits ("GMIB") that require annuitization, and  
the life-contingent portion of guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits ("GMWB"). 

Guarantees assumed are accounted for as embedded derivatives in policyholder
account balances include the non life-contingent portion of GMWB, guaranteed    
minimum accumulation benefits ("GMAB") and the portion of GMIB that do not      
require annuitization. At inception, the Company attributes to the embedded     
derivative a portion of the projected future guarantee fees to be collected     
from the policyholder equal to the present value of projected future guaranteed 
benefits. Any additional fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in       
universal life and investment-type product policy fees.                         

Other policy-related balances include policy and contract claims and        
policyholder dividends due and unpaid.                                          

The liability for policy and contract claims generally relates to incurred  
but not reported death claims, as well as claims which have been reported but   
not yet settled.                                                                

DIVIDEND LIABILITY                                                              

The terminal dividend liability for assumed participating traditional life  
insurance policies is equal to the liability for dividends paid to              
policyholders upon termination and after satisfying minimum period in-force     
requirements.                                                                   

RECOGNITION OF INSURANCE REVENUE AND RELATED BENEFITS                           

Premiums related to assumed traditional life and variable annuity business  
are recognized as revenues when due. Policyholder benefits and expenses are     
provided against such revenues to recognize profits over the estimated lives of 
the policies. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than    
the period over which benefits are provided, any excess profit is deferred and  
recognized into operations in a constant relationship to the business assumed.  

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS                                               

The Company reimburses the direct writer of the reinsured agreements for    
significant costs in connection with acquiring new and renewal reinsurance      
business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or      
renewal of reinsurance agreements are capitalized as DAC. Such costs primarily  
include:

POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

.  other essential direct costs that would not have been incurred had a 
policy not been acquired or renewed.                              

All other acquisition-related costs, as well as all indirect costs, are     
expensed as incurred.                                                           

DAC is amortized as follows:                                                

Products reinsured:                    In proportion to the following over    
                                  estimated lives of the reinsurance
           agreements:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
.  Participating, dividend-paying      Actual and expected future gross       
traditional contracts               margins.                            
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
.  Variable universal life contracts   Actual and expected future gross       
.  Variable deferred annuity contracts profits.                               

See Note 2 for additional information on DAC amortization.                  

 The recovery of DAC is dependent upon the future profitability of the related
business.                                                                       

REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS                                                          

For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the  
agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to        
insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Cessions     
under reinsurance agreements do not discharge the Company's obligations as a    
reinsurer. The Company reviews all contractual features, particularly those     
that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the Company is subject or  
features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.                         

For reinsurance of existing in-force blocks of long-duration contracts that 
transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the        
amounts paid (received), and the liabilities ceded (assumed) related to the     
underlying contracts is considered the net cost of reinsurance at the inception 
of the reinsurance agreement. The net cost of reinsurance is recorded as an     
adjustment to DAC when there is a gain at inception on the ceding entity and to 
other liabilities when there is a loss at inception. The net cost of            
reinsurance is recognized as a component of other expenses when there is a gain 
at inception and as policyholder benefits and claims when there is a loss and   
is subsequently amortized on a basis consistent with the methodology used for   
amortizing DAC related to the underlying reinsured contracts. Subsequent        
amounts paid (received) on the reinsurance of in-force blocks, as well as       
amounts paid (received) related to new business, are recorded as ceded          
(assumed) premiums and ceded (assumed) future policy benefit liabilities are    
established.                                                                    

Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in  
premiums, reinsurance and other receivables and amounts currently payable are   
included in other liabilities and other policy-related balances. Assets and     
liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer may be   
recorded net on the balance sheet, if a right of offset exists within the       
reinsurance agreement. In the event that reinsurers do not meet their           
obligations to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements,       
reinsurance recoverable balances could become uncollectible. In such instances, 
reinsurance recoverable balances are stated net of allowances for uncollectible 
reinsurance.

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

Premiums, fees and policyholder benefits and claims include amounts assumed 
under reinsurance agreements and are net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received 
from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in other revenues.       
Certain assumed GMWB, GMAB and GMIB are accounted for as embedded derivatives   
with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains (losses). 

If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the  
reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance      
risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. 
Deposits received are included in other liabilities and deposits made are       
included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables. As amounts are     
paid or received, consistent with the underlying contracts, the deposit assets  
or liabilities are adjusted. Interest on such deposits is recorded as other     
revenues or other expenses, as appropriate. Periodically, the Company evaluates 
the adequacy of the expected payments or recoveries and adjusts the deposit     
asset or liability through other revenues or other expenses, as appropriate.    

INVESTMENTS                                                                   

NET INVESTMENT INCOME                                                       

Income on investments is reported within net investment income, unless  
otherwise stated herein.                                                    

FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES                                                   

The Company's fixed maturity securities are classified as               
available-for-sale ("AFS") and are reported at their estimated fair value.  
Unrealized investment gains and losses on these securities are recorded as a
separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI"), net of     
policyholder-related amounts and deferred income taxes. All security        
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment gains and losses
on sales are determined on a specific identification basis.                 

Interest income on fixed maturity securities is recognized when earned  
 using an effective yield method giving effect to amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Prepayment fees are recognized when earned.         

The Company periodically evaluates fixed maturity securities for        
impairment. The assessment of whether impairments have occurred is based on 
management's case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the      
decline in estimated fair value and an analysis of the gross unrealized     
losses by severity and/or age. The analysis of gross unrealized losses is   
described further in Note 5 "--Evaluation of AFS Securities for OTTI and    
Evaluating Temporarily Impaired AFS Securities."                            

For fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position, an        
 other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") is recognized in earnings when it is
anticipated that the amortized cost will not be recovered. When either:     
(i) the Company has the intent to sell the security; or (ii) it is more     
 likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before
recovery, the OTTI recognized in earnings is the entire difference between  
the security's amortized cost and estimated fair value. If neither of these 
conditions exist, the difference between the amortized cost of the security 
 and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected
is recognized as an OTTI in earnings ("credit loss"). If the estimated fair 
value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected
to be collected, this portion of OTTI related to other-than-credit factors  
("noncredit loss") is recorded in OCI. Adjustments are not made for         
subsequent recoveries in value.

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS                                                      

Short-term investments include securities and other investments with    
remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at 
the time of purchase and are stated at the estimated fair value or amortized
cost, which approximates estimated fair value.                              

DERIVATIVE ASSETS                                                           

Derivative assets consist principally of freestanding derivatives with  
positive estimated fair values and are described in " -- Derivatives" below.

FUNDS WITHHELD AT INTEREST                                                  

Funds withheld at interest represent amounts contractually withheld by  
ceding companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements. The Company     
records a funds withheld asset rather than the underlying investments. The  
Company recognizes interest on funds withheld at rates defined by the terms 
of the agreement which may be contractually specified or directly related to
the underlying investments.                                                 

DERIVATIVES                                                                   

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES                                                    

   Freestanding derivatives are carried in the Company's balance sheets either
as assets within derivative assets or as liabilities within derivative      
liabilities at estimated fair value. The Company does not offset the fair   
value amounts recognized for derivatives executed with the same counterparty
absent a master netting agreement.                                          

   Accruals on derivatives are generally recorded in accrued investment income
 or within derivative liabilities. However, accruals that are not scheduled to
settle within one year are included with the derivatives carrying value in  
derivative assets or derivative liabilities.                                

The Company's derivatives are not designated as qualifying for hedge    
accounting. Changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are generally
reported in net derivative gains (losses) except for those in policyholder  
benefits and claims for economic hedges of variable annuity guarantees      
 included in future policy benefits in the balance sheets. The fluctuations in
estimated fair value of derivatives can result in significant volatility in 
net income.                                                                 

EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES                                                        

The Company assumes variable annuity guarantees, modified coinsurance   
contracts and equity indexed deferred annuities that contain embedded       
derivatives. Additionally, the Company has retroceded certain of these      
variable annuity guarantees to unaffiliated reinsurance counterparties that 
also contain embedded derivatives. The Company assesses each identified     
 embedded derivative to determine whether it is required to be bifurcated. The
 embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as
a freestanding derivative if:                                               

.  the combined instrument is not accounted for in its entirety at fair   
value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

 .  the terms of the embedded derivative are not clearly and closely related
to the economic characteristics of the host contract; and           
.  a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative   
would qualify as a derivative instrument.                           

Such embedded derivatives are carried in the balance sheets at estimated
fair value with the host contract and changes in their estimated fair value 
are generally reported in net derivative gains (losses) for assumed         
reinsurance or in policyholder benefits and claims for ceded reinsurance. At
 inception, the Company attributes to the embedded derivative a portion of the
projected future guarantee fees to be collected from the policyholder equal 
to the present value of projected future guaranteed benefits. Any additional
fees represent "excess" fees and are reported in universal life and         
investment-type product policy fees.                                        

FAIR VALUE                                                                    

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value in the
Company's balance sheets. In addition, the notes to these financial statements
include further disclosures of estimated fair values. The Company defines fair
value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for  
the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants  
on the measurement date. In most cases, the exit price and the transaction (or
entry) price will be the same at initial recognition.                         

Subsequent to initial recognition, fair values are based on unadjusted    
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are  
readily and regularly obtainable. When such quoted prices are not available,  
fair values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted 
prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities, or other          
observable inputs. If these inputs are not available, or observable inputs are
not determinative, unobservable inputs and/or adjustments to observable inputs
requiring management judgment are used to determine the fair value of assets  
and liabilities.                                                              

INCOME TAX                                                                    

  The Company joins with the Holding Company and its includable life insurance
and non-life insurance subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. federal     
income tax return in accordance with the provision of the Internal Revenue    
Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"). Current taxes (and the benefits of tax  
attributes such as losses) are allocated to the Holding Company under the     
consolidated tax return regulations and a tax sharing agreement. Under the    
consolidated tax return regulations, the Holding Company has elected the      
"percentage method' (and 100 percent under such method) of reimbursing        
companies for tax attributes such as losses. As a result, one hundred percent 
of tax attributes such as losses are reimbursed by the Holding Company to the 
extent that consolidated federal income tax of the consolidated federal tax   
return group is reduced in a year by tax attributes such as losses. Profitable
subsidiaries pay to the Holding company each year the federal income tax which
such profitable subsidiary would have paid that year based upon that year's   
taxable income. The Holding Company has current or prior deductions and       
credits (including by not limited to losses) which reduce the consolidated tax
liability of the consolidated federal tax return group, the deductions and    
credits are characterized as realized (or realizable) by the Holding Company  
when those tax attributes are realized (or realizable) by the consolidated    
federal tax return group, even if the Holding Company would not have realized 
the attributes on a stand-alone basis under a "wait and see" method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING        
POLICIES (CONTINUED)                                                            

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary       
differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and       
liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates    
expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are
expected to reverse.                                                          

 The realization of deferred income tax assets depends upon the existence of
sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods under  
the tax law in the applicable tax jurisdiction. Valuation allowances are      
established when management determines, based on available information, that  
it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be        
realized. Factors in management's determination include the performance of the
business and its ability to generate capital gains. Significant judgment is   
required in determining whether valuation allowances should be established, as
well as the amount of such allowances. When making such determination,        
consideration is given to, among other things, the following:                 

.  future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and   
carryforwards;                                                        
.  future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;              
.  taxable income in prior carryback years; and                             
.  tax planning strategies.                                                 

The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes in   
certain circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include when estimates  
used in determining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets significantly 
change or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in
valuation allowances. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax     
laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could  
have an impact on the provision for income tax and the effective tax rate. Any
such changes could significantly affect the amounts reported in the financial 
statements in the year these changes occur.                                   

The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax      
position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing         
authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial   
statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that  
is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Unrecognized tax
benefits due to tax uncertainties that do not meet the threshold are included 
in other liabilities and are charged to earnings in the period that such      
determination is made.                                                        

The Company classifies interest recognized as other expense and penalties 
recognized as a component of income tax expense.                              

OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES                                                     

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS                                                   

The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments
purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at 
the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at 
amortized cost, which approximates estimated fair value.                    

OTHER REVENUES                                                              

  Other revenues consist of funds withheld investment credit fees associated
with financial reinsurance.

POLICYHOLDER DIVIDENDS                                                      

Pursuant to the terms of certain reinsurance agreements, the Company    
participates in the policyholder dividend scale of the ceding company.      
 Policyholder dividends are approved annually by the ceding company's board of
directors. The aggregate amount of policyholder dividends is related to     
 actual interest, mortality, morbidity and expense experience for the year, as
 well as the judgment of the ceding company's management as to the appropriate
level of statutory surplus to be retained by the ceding company.            

FOREIGN CURRENCY                                                            

Balance sheet accounts for reinsurance agreements that are settled in   
 foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each year
end and income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange  
rates during the year. Translation adjustments are charged or credited      
 directly to foreign currency translation adjustments, included in accumulated
other comprehensive income or loss, net of applicable taxes. Intercompany   
receivables (payables) that are held in foreign currencies are translated at
the exchange rate in effect at each year end and translation adjustments are
 charged directly to net investment gains (losses) in the period in which they
occur.                                                                      

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS                                       

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding       
comprehensive income that requires an entity to provide information about the   
amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") by  
component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of 
the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant        
amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but 
only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to    
net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that 
are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, 
an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under    
GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption was       
prospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures in Note 9.         

 Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new guidance regarding balance
sheet offsetting disclosures which requires an entity to disclose information   
about offsetting and related arrangements for derivatives, including bifurcated 
embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and         
securities borrowing and lending transactions, to enable users of its financial 
statements to understand the effects of those arrangements on its financial     
position. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net      
information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the  
statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an  
agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The adoption was             
retrospectively applied and resulted in additional disclosures related to       
derivatives in Note 6.                                                          

 On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding accounting for
DAC, which was retrospectively applied. The guidance specifies that only costs  
related directly to successful acquisition of new or renewal contracts can be   
capitalized as DAC; all other acquisition-related costs must be expensed as     
incurred. Under the new guidance, advertising costs may only be included in DAC 
if the capitalization criteria in the direct-response advertising guidance in   
Subtopic 340-20, OTHER ASSETS AND DEFERRED COSTS--CAPITALIZED ADVERTISING       
COSTS, are met. As a result, certain direct marketing, sales manager            
compensation and administrative costs previously capitalized by the Company     
will no longer be deferred.

On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding comprehensive
income, which was retrospectively applied, that provides companies with the     
option to present the total of comprehensive income, components of net income,  
and the components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of            
comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements in annual    
financial statements. The standard eliminates the option to present components  
of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The Company 
adopted the two-statement approach for annual financial statements.             

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted new guidance regarding fair  
value measurements that establishes common requirements for measuring fair      
value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in           
accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Some of   
the amendments clarify the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB")      
intent on the application of existing fair value measurement requirements.      
Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring     
fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The     
adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements   
other than the expanded disclosures in Note 7.                                  

FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS                                

In March 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding foreign currency      
(Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-05, FOREIGN CURRENCY MATTERS (TOPIC   
830): PARENT'S ACCOUNTING FOR THE CUMULATIVE TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENT UPON        
DERECOGNITION OF CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES OR GROUPS OF ASSETS WITHIN A FOREIGN      
ENTITY OR OF AN INVESTMENT IN A FOREIGN ENTITY), effective prospectively for    
fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after   
December 15, 2013. The amendments require an entity that ceases to have a       
controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a      
foreign entity to apply the guidance in Subtopic 830-30, FOREIGN CURRENCY       
MATTERS -- TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, to release any related          
cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative  
translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or   
transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the   
foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. For an   
equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance in 
section 830-30-40, DERECOGNITION, still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of 
the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a 
partial sale of such an equity method investment. The Company does not expect   
the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial    
statements.                                                                     

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities (ASU   
2013-04, LIABILITIES (TOPIC 405): OBLIGATIONS RESULTING FROM JOINT AND SEVERAL  
LIABILITY ARRANGEMENTS FOR WHICH THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATION IS FIXED AT 
THE REPORTING DATE), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments        
require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several       
liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the  
scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount  
the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its    
co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on    
behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to     
disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information  
about the obligation. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new      
guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

2. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS                                            

See Note 1 for a description of capitalized acquisition costs.              

PARTICIPATING AND DIVIDEND-PAYING TRADITIONAL CONTRACTS                         

 The Company amortizes DAC related to these contracts over the estimated lives
of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross margins. The 
amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception or         
acquisition of the contracts. The future gross margins are dependent            
principally on investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, mortality,     
persistency, expenses to administer the business, creditworthiness of           
reinsurance counterparties, and certain economic variables, such as inflation.  
Of these factors, the Company anticipates that investment returns, expenses,    
persistency, and other factor changes and policyholder dividend scales are      
reasonably likely to significantly impact the rate of DAC amortization. On a    
quarterly basis, the Company updates the estimated gross margins with the       
actual gross margins for that period. When the actual gross margins change from 
previously estimated gross margins, the cumulative DAC amortization is          
re-estimated and adjusted by a cumulative charge or credit to earnings. When    
actual gross margins exceed those previously estimated, the DAC amortization    
will increase, resulting in a charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs    
when the actual gross margins are below the previously estimated gross margins. 
On a quarterly basis, the Company also updates the actual amount of business    
in-force, which impacts expected future gross margins. When expected future     
gross margins are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will   
increase, resulting in a charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs when    
the expected future gross margins are above the previously estimated expected   
future gross margins. Total DAC amortization during a particular period may     
increase or decrease depending upon the relative size of the amortization       
change resulting from the adjustment to DAC for the update of actual gross      
margins and the re-estimation of expected future gross margins. On a quarterly  
basis, the Company also reviews the estimated gross margins for each block of   
business to determine the recoverability of DAC balances.                       

VARIABLE UNIVERSAL LIFE CONTRACTS, VARIABLE DEFERRED ANNUITY CONTRACTS AND      
EQUITY INDEXED DEFERRED ANNUITY CONTRACTS                                       

 The Company amortizes DAC related to these contracts over the estimated lives
of the contracts in proportion to actual and expected future gross profits. The 
amortization includes interest based on rates in effect at inception of the     
contracts. The amount of expected future gross profits is dependent principally 
upon investment returns in excess of the amounts credited to policyholders,     
mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, expenses to administer the    
business, creditworthiness of reinsurance counterparties, and certain economic  
variables, such as inflation. Of these factors, the Company anticipates that    
investment returns, expenses, and persistency are reasonably likely to impact   
significantly the rate of DAC amortization. On a quarterly basis, the Company   
updates the estimated gross profits with the actual gross profits for that      
period. When the actual gross profits change from previously estimated gross    
profits, the cumulative DAC amortization is re-estimated and adjusted by the    
cumulated charge or credit to current operations. When actual gross profits     
exceed those previously estimated, the DAC amortization will increase,          
resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite result occurs    
when the actual gross profits are below the previously estimated gross profits. 
On a quarterly basis, the Company also updates the actual amount of business    
remaining in-force, which impact expected future gross profits. When expected   
future gross profits are below those previously estimated, the DAC amortization 
will increase, resulting in a current period charge to earnings. The opposite   
result occurs when the expected future gross profits are above the previously   
estimated expected future gross profits. Each period, the Company also reviews  
the estimated gross profits for each block of business to determine the         
recoverability of DAC balances.

FACTORS IMPACTING AMORTIZATION                                                  

The Company also periodically reviews other long-term assumptions underlying
the projections of estimated gross margins and profits. These include           
investment returns, policyholder dividend scales, interest crediting rates,     
mortality, persistency and expenses to administer business. Management annually 
updates assumptions used in the calculation of estimated gross margins and      
profits which may have significantly changed. If the update of assumptions      
causes expected future gross margins and profits to increase, DAC amortization  
will decrease, resulting in a current period increase to earnings. The opposite 
result occurs when the assumption update causes expected future gross margins   
and profits to decrease.                                                        

Amortization of DAC is attributed to net investment gains (losses) and net  
derivative gains (losses), and to other expenses for the amount of gross        
margins or profits originating from transactions other than investment gains    
and losses. Unrealized investment gains and losses represent the amount of DAC  
that would have been amortized if such gains and losses had been recognized.    

Information regarding DAC was as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

4. REINSURANCE                                                                  

 The Company assumes insurance risk from affiliated and unaffiliated insurance
companies. The Company also cedes certain assumed insurance risks to            
unaffiliated reinsurers.                                                        

Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and        
estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying     
business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company     
periodically reviews actual and anticipated experience compared to the          
aforementioned assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to 
ceded and assumed reinsurance and evaluates the financial strength of           
counterparties to its reinsurance agreements using criteria similar to that     
evaluated in the security impairment process discussed previously.              

 Premiums and policyholder benefits and claims in the statements of operations
consist of amounts assumed, partially offset by amounts ceded under reinsurance 
agreements.                                                                     

The Company assumes risks from an unaffiliated company related to guaranteed
minimum benefit guarantees written directly by the unaffiliated company. These  
assumed reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives and changes in      
their fair value are also included within net derivative gains (losses). The    
embedded derivatives associated with the cessions are included within           
policyholder's account balance and were liabilities of $1,262.3 million and     
$2,581.9 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the years     
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, net derivative gains (losses) included  
$1,126.5 million, ($394.9) million and $80.6 million, respectively, in changes  
in fair value of such embedded derivatives.                                     

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $99.2 million and $287.2     
million, respectively, of unsecured unaffiliated ceded reinsurance recoverable  
balances.                                                                       

 Certain unaffiliated reinsurance agreements that do not expose the Company to
a reasonable possibility of a significant loss from insurance risk are recorded 
using the deposit method of accounting. The deposit assets on ceded             
unaffiliated reinsurance were $3.5 million and $28.9 million, at December 31,   
2013 and 2012, respectively.                                                    

The deposit liabilities on assumed unaffiliated reinsurance were $545       
thousand and $335 thousand at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.         

RELATED PARTY REINSURANCE TRANSACTIONS                                          

The Company has reinsurance agreements with certain of the Holding Company's
subsidiaries, including Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, First MetLife      
Investors Insurance Company, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, MetLife  
Investors USA Insurance Company, MetLife Investors Insurance Company, MetLife   
Europe Limited ("MEL"), New England Life Insurance Company and Alico Life       
International Limited, all of which are related parties.

 In September 2012, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement to assume
100% quota share of certain blocks of indemnity reinsurance from MEL. This      
agreement covers a portion of liabilities under defined portfolios of living    
time annuities contracts issued on or after the effective date. This agreement  
transfers risk to the Company, and therefore, is accounted for as reinsurance.  
As a result of the agreement, the Company recorded future policy benefits,      
presented within future policy benefits, of $649.3 million and $792.3 million,  
other reinsurance liabilities of $16.9 million and $10.7 million, and other     
reinsurance payables, included in other

liabilities, were $43.7 million and $61.1 million at December 31, 2013 and      
2012, respectively. The Company's statement of operations reflects a loss for   
this agreement of $8.6 million and $3.5 million, which includes premiums of $1  
thousand and $881.2 million and policyholder benefits of $8.6 million and       
$884.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.    

The Company assumes risks from affiliates related to guaranteed minimum     
benefit guarantees written directly by the affiliates. These assumed            
reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives and changes in their fair   
value are also included within net derivative gains (losses). The embedded      
derivatives associated with the cessions are included within policyholder       
account balances and were liabilities of $1,226.6 million and $6,249.3 million  
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the years ended December 31,   
2013, 2012 and 2011, net derivative gains (losses) included $5,729.1 million,   
($729.3) million and ($2,818.1) million, respectively, in changes in fair value 
of such embedded derivatives.                                                   

The Company had no ceded affiliated reinsurance recoverable balances at     
December 31, 2013 and 2012.                                                     

5. INVESTMENTS                                                                  

 See Note 7 for information about the fair value hierarchy for investments and
the related valuation methodologies.                                            

INVESTMENT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES                                              

Investments are exposed to the following primary sources of risk: credit,   
interest rate, liquidity, market valuation and currency. The financial          
statement risks, stemming from such investment risks, are those associated with 
the determination of estimated fair values, the diminished ability to sell      
certain investments in times of strained market conditions, the recognition of  
impairments, the recognition of income on certain investments and the potential 
consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"). The use of different      
methodologies, assumptions and inputs relating to these financial statement     
risks may have a material effect on the amounts presented within the financial  
statements.                                                                     

The determination of valuation allowances and impairments is highly         
subjective and is based upon periodic evaluations and assessments of known and  
inherent risks associated with the respective asset class. Such evaluations and 
assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes        
available.                                                                      

The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g., structured          
securities, including mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities       
("ABS") and certain structured investment transactions) is dependent upon       
certain factors such as prepayments and defaults, and changes in such factors   
could result in changes in amounts to be earned.

The Company held no non-income producing fixed maturity securities at     
December 31, 2013 and 2012.                                                   

METHODOLOGY FOR AMORTIZATION OF PREMIUM AND ACCRETION OF DISCOUNT ON          
STRUCTURED SECURITIES                                                           

Amortization of premium or accretion of discount on structured securities 
considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying    
loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective    
yields are recalculated when differences arise between the originally         
anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated.    
Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed and   
ABS are estimated using inputs obtained from third-party specialists and based
on management's knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive         
mortgage-backed and ABS and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the      
effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other         
mortgage-backed and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a             
retrospective basis.

EVALUATION OF AFS SECURITIES FOR OTTI AND EVALUATING TEMPORARILY IMPAIRED AFS 
SECURITIES                                                                      

EVALUATION AND MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGIES                                    

  Management considers a wide range of factors about the security issuer and
uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the        
estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for     
near-term recovery. Inherent in management's evaluation of the security are 
assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future 
earnings potential. Considerations used in the impairment evaluation process
include, but are not limited to: (i) the length of time and the extent to   
which the estimated fair value has been below amortized cost; (ii) the      
potential for impairments when the issuer is experiencing significant       
financial difficulties; (iii) the potential for impairments in an entire    
industry sector or sub-sector; (iv) the potential for impairments in certain
economically depressed geographic locations; (v) the potential for          
 impairments of securities where the issuer, series of issuers or industry has
 suffered a catastrophic loss or has exhausted natural resources; (vi) whether
the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required 
to sell a particular security before the decline in estimated fair value    
below amortized cost recovers; (vii) with respect to structured securities, 
changes in forecasted cash flows after considering the quality of underlying
 collateral, expected prepayment speeds, current and forecasted loss severity,
consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a       
 particular security, and the payment priority within the tranche structure of
the security; and (viii) other subjective factors, including concentrations 
and information obtained from regulators and rating agencies.               

The methodology and significant inputs used to determine the amount of  
credit loss on fixed maturity securities are as follows:                    

  .  The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash
flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows. The  
  discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the security
prior to impairment.                                                

.  When determining collectability and the period over which value is     
   expected to recover, the Company applies considerations utilized in its
overall impairment evaluation process which incorporates information
regarding the specific security, fundamentals of the industry and   
geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and overall  
     macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using
assumptions derived from management's best estimates of likely      
scenario-based outcomes after giving consideration to a variety of  
variables that include, but are not limited to: payment terms of the
 security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the interest and
  principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements;
the security's position within the capital structure of the issuer; 
possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and 
   changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.

.  Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features  
  that apply to certain structured securities including, but not limited
 to: the quality of underlying collateral, expected prepayment speeds;
    current and forecasted loss severity, consideration of the payment terms
    of the underlying loans or assets backing a particular security, and the
payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.      

.  When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign    
    corporate securities and state and political subdivision securities, the
estimated fair value is considered the recovery value when available

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

 information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate.
     When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than
estimated fair value, management considers in the determination of  
     recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment
evaluation process as described above, as well as private and public
sector programs to restructure such securities.                     

With respect to securities that have attributes of debt and equity      
 (perpetual hybrid securities), consideration is given in the OTTI analysis as
to whether there has been any deterioration in the credit of the issuer and 
the likelihood of recovery in value of the securities that are in a severe  
and extended unrealized loss position. Consideration is also given as to    
whether any perpetual hybrid securities, with an unrealized loss, regardless
of credit rating, have deferred any dividend payments. When an OTTI loss has
 occurred, the OTTI loss is the entire difference between the perpetual hybrid
security's cost and its estimated fair value with a corresponding charge to 
earnings.                                                                   

   The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities is adjusted for OTTI in the
period in which the determination is made. The Company does not change the  
revised cost basis for subsequent recoveries in value.                      

In periods subsequent to the recognition of OTTI on a fixed maturity    
security, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been  
purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the       
discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted over  
the remaining term of the fixed maturity security in a prospective manner   
based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.              

CURRENT PERIOD EVALUATION                                                   

Based on the Company's current evaluation of its AFS securities in an   
unrealized loss position in accordance with its impairment policy, and the  
Company's current intentions and assessments (as applicable to the type of  
security) about holding, selling and any requirements to sell these         
securities, the Company has concluded that these securities are not         
 other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013. Future OTTI will depend
primarily on economic fundamentals, issuer performance (including changes in
the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected) and changes
in credit ratings, collateral valuation, interest rates and credit spreads. 
If economic fundamentals deteriorate or if there are adverse changes in the 
above factors, OTTI may be incurred in upcoming periods.                    

Gross unrealized losses on fixed maturity securities increased          
$18.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.1 million to  
$20.4 million. The increase in gross unrealized losses for the year ended   
December 31, 2013, was primarily attributable to an increase in interest    
rates, partially offset by narrowing credit spreads.                        

At December 31, 2013, there were no fixed maturity securities with an   
unrealized loss position of 20% or more of amortized cost for six months or 
greater.                                                                    

FUNDS WITHHELD AT INTEREST                                                      

 Funds withheld at interest represent amounts contractually withheld by ceding
companies in accordance with reinsurance agreements. At December 31, 2013 and   
2012, such amounts consisted of balances withheld in connection with            
reinsurance agreements with affiliates of the Holding Company, as presented in  
Note 4, and an unaffiliated company.

5. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)                                                      

(2)Certain of the Company's invested assets are pledged as collateral for       
various derivative transactions as described in Note 6.                   

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES                                                      

 The Company has invested in certain structured transactions that are VIEs. In
certain instances, the Company may hold both the power to direct the most       
significant activities of the entity, as well as an economic interest in the    
entity and, as such, it would be deemed to be the primary beneficiary or        
consolidator of the entity.                                                     

The determination of the VIE's primary beneficiary requires an evaluation of
the contractual and implied rights and obligations associated with each party's 
relationship with or involvement in the entity, an estimate of the entity's     
expected losses and expected residual returns and the allocation of such        
estimates to each party involved in the entity. The Company generally uses a    
qualitative approach to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary.        
However, for VIEs that are investment companies or apply measurement principles 
consistent with those utilized by investment companies, the primary beneficiary 
is based on a risks and rewards model and is defined as the entity that will    
absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of a VIE's     
expected residual returns if no single entity absorbs a majority of expected    
losses, or both. The Company reassesses its involvement with VIEs on a          
quarterly basis. The use of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs in  
the determination of the primary beneficiary could have a material effect on    
the amounts presented within the financial statements.                          

CONSOLIDATED VIES                                                             

There were no VIEs for which the Company has concluded that it is the     
primary beneficiary and which are consolidated at December 31, 2013 and 2012. 

UNCONSOLIDATED VIES                                                           

The carrying amount and maximum exposure to loss relating to VIEs in which
the Company holds a significant variable interest but is not the primary      
beneficiary and which have not been consolidated were as follows at:

6. DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)                                                      

Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are derived from interest
rates, foreign currency exchange rates, credit spreads and/or other financial   
indices. Derivatives may be exchange-traded or contracted in the                
over-the-counter ("OTC") market. Certain of the Company's OTC derivatives may   
be cleared and settled through central clearing counterparties ("OTC-cleared"), 
while others are bilateral contracts between two                                
counterparties ("OTC-bilateral"). The types of derivatives the Company uses     
include swaps, forwards, futures and option contracts. The Company also         
purchases certain securities and engages in certain reinsurance agreements that 
have embedded derivatives.                                                      

 The Company utilizes all derivatives in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES                                                     

The Company uses a variety of interest rate derivatives to reduce its     
exposure to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps, futures 
and options.                                                                  

  Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks
from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising    
from mismatches between assets and liabilities (duration mismatches). In an   
interest rate swap, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at     
specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate      
interest amounts as calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount.     

 In exchange-traded interest rate Treasury futures transactions, the Company
agrees to purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which
is determined by the different classes of interest rate securities, and to    
post variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in
the daily market values of those contracts. The Company enters into           
exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are  
members of the exchange. Exchange-traded interest rate Treasury futures are   
used primarily to hedge mismatches between the duration of assets in a        
portfolio and the duration of liabilities supported by those assets, to hedge 
against changes in value of securities the Company owns or anticipates        
acquiring and to hedge against changes in interest rates on anticipated       
liability issuances by replicating Treasury or swap curve performance.        

Swaptions are used by the Company to hedge interest rate risk associated  
with the Company's long-term liabilities and invested assets. A swaption is an
option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. In certain
instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased     
swaptions by entering into offsetting written swaptions. The Company pays a   
premium for purchased swaptions and receives a premium for written swaptions. 
Swaptions are included in interest rate options.                              

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE DERIVATIVES                                    

The Company uses foreign currency forwards to reduce the risk from        
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. In a foreign currency forward  
transaction, the Company agrees with another party to deliver a specified     
amount of an identified currency at a specified future date. The price is     
agreed upon at the time of the contract and payment for such a contract is    
made at the specified future date.                                            

To a lesser extent, the Company uses exchange-traded currency futures to  
hedge currency mismatches between assets and liabilities.

6. DERIVATIVES (CONTINUED)                                                      

EQUITY DERIVATIVES                                                            

The Company uses a variety of equity derivatives to reduce its exposure to
equity market risk, including equity index options, variance swaps,           
exchange-traded equity futures and total rate of return swaps ("TRRs").       

Equity index options are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum   
guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products assumed by the       
Company. To hedge against adverse changes in equity indices, the Company      
enters into contracts to sell the equity index within a limited time at a     
contracted price. The contracts will be net settled in cash based on          
differentials in the indices at the time of exercise and the strike price.    
Certain of these contracts may also contain settlement provisions linked to   
interest rates. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a combination
of transactions to hedge adverse changes in equity indices within a           
pre-determined range through the purchase and sale of options.                

Equity variance swaps are used by the Company primarily to hedge minimum  
guarantees embedded in certain variable annuity products reinsured by the     
Company. In an equity variance swap, the Company agrees with another party to 
exchange amounts in the future, based on changes in equity volatility over a  
defined period.                                                               

In exchange-traded equity futures transactions, the Company agrees to     
purchase or sell a specified number of contracts, the value of which is       
determined by the different classes of equity securities, and to post         
variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the 
daily market values of those contracts. The Company enters into               
exchange-traded futures with regulated futures commission merchants that are  
members of the exchange. Exchange-traded equity futures are used primarily to 
hedge liabilities embedded in certain variable annuity products reinsured by  
the Company.                                                                  

  TRRs are swaps whereby the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at
specified intervals, the difference between the economic risk and reward of an
asset or a market index and the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"),     
calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. No cash is exchanged at 
the outset of the contract. Cash is paid and received over the life of the    
contract based on the terms of the swap. The Company uses TRRs to hedge its   
equity market guarantees in certain of its reinsured products. TRRs can be    
used as hedges or to synthetically create investments.

CREDIT RISK ON FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES                                         

The Company may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of         
nonperformance by counterparties to derivatives. Generally, the current credit  
exposure of the Company's derivatives is limited to the net positive estimated  
fair value of derivatives at the reporting date after taking into consideration 
the existence of master netting or similar agreements and any collateral        
received pursuant to such agreements.                                           

The Company manages its credit risk related to derivatives by entering into 
transactions with creditworthy counterparties and establishing and monitoring   
exposure limits. The Company's OTC-bilateral derivative transactions are        
generally governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA")  
Master Agreements which provide for legally enforceable set-off and close-out   
netting of exposures to specific counterparties in the event of early           
termination of a transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, events of  
default and bankruptcy. In the event of an early termination, the Company is    
permitted to set-off receivables from the counterparty against payables to the  
same counterparty arising out of all included transactions. Substantially all   
of the Company's ISDA Master Agreements also include Credit Support Annex       
provisions which require both the pledging and accepting of collateral in       
connection with its OTC-bilateral derivatives. See Note 7 for a description of  
the impact of credit risk on the valuation of derivatives.

accruals reported in accrued investment income or in other liabilities of 
$66,175 thousand and $74,942 thousand, respectively, and derivative       
liabilities include income or expense accruals reported in accrued        
investment income or in other liabilities of $8,133 thousand and

(4)Securities collateral received by the Company is held in separate custodial  
accounts and is not recorded on the balance sheet. Subject to certain     
constraints, the Company is permitted by contract to sell or repledge this
  collateral, but at December 31, 2013 none of the collateral had been sold or
  repledged. Securities collateral pledged by the Company is reported in fixed
maturity securities in the balance sheet. Subject to certain constraints, 
the counterparties are permitted by contract to sell or repledge this     
  collateral. The amount of securities collateral offset in the table above is
 limited to the net estimated fair value of derivatives after application of
netting agreements and cash collateral. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the
Company received excess securities collateral of $96,746 thousand and     
 $59,320 thousand, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives which are
not included in the table above due to the foregoing limitation. At       
December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company provided excess securities        
  collateral of $0 and $0, respectively, for its OTC-bilateral derivatives and
  $36,182 thousand and $39,989 thousand, respectively, for its exchange-traded
 derivatives, which are not included in the table above due to the foregoing
limitation.                                                               

The following table presents the estimated fair value of the Company's      
OTC-bilateral derivatives that are in a net liability position after            
considering the effect of netting agreements, together with the estimated fair  
value and balance sheet location of the collateral pledged. The table also      
presents the incremental collateral that the Company would be required to       
provide if there was a one notch downgrade in the Company's credit rating at    
the reporting date or if the Company's credit rating sustained a downgrade to a 
level that triggered full overnight collateralization or termination of the     
derivative position at the reporting date. OTC-bilateral derivatives that are   
not subject to collateral agreements are excluded from this table.

The Company assumes variable annuities, modified coinsurance contracts,     
equity indexed deferred annuities and purchases certain investments that        
contain embedded derivatives that are required to be separated from their host  
contracts and accounted for as freestanding derivatives. These host contracts   
principally include: assumed variable annuities with guaranteed minimum         
benefits, including GMWBs, GMABs and certain GMIBs; ceded reinsurance           
agreements of guaranteed minimum benefits related to GMABs and certain GMIBs;   
assumed modified coinsurance contracts; assumed reinsurance on equity indexed   
deferred annuities; and options embedded in debt and equity securities.

7. FAIR VALUE                                                                   

When developing estimated fair values, the Company considers three broad    
valuation techniques: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach, and    
(iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation  
technique to use, given what is being measured and the availability of          
sufficient inputs, giving priority to observable inputs. The Company            
categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value into a  
three-level hierarchy, based on the significant input with the lowest level in  
its valuation. The input levels are as follows:                                 

Level 1  Unadjusted quoted prices in active   
   markets for identical assets or
        liabilities. The size of the bid/ask
     spread is used as an indicator of
      market activity for fixed maturity
securities.                 

Level 2  Quoted prices in markets that are not
        active or inputs that are observable
        either directly or indirectly. These
        inputs can include quoted prices for
       similar assets or liabilities other
         than quoted prices in Level 1, quoted
  prices in markets that are not
       active, or other significant inputs
         that are observable or can be derived
       principally from or corroborated by
observable market data for  
      substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.      

Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are         
    supported by little or no market
       activity and are significant to the
         determination of estimated fair value
 of the assets or liabilities.
   Unobservable inputs reflect the
      reporting entity's own assumptions
     about the assumptions that market
         participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability.         

Financial markets are susceptible to severe events evidenced by rapid       
depreciation in asset values accompanied by a reduction in asset liquidity. The 
Company's ability to sell securities, or the price ultimately realized for      
these securities, depends upon the demand and liquidity in the market and       
increases the use of judgment in determining the estimated fair value of        
certain securities.                                                             

Considerable judgment is often required in interpreting market data to      
develop estimates of fair value, and the use of different assumptions or        
valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value  
amounts.

(3)Net embedded derivatives within asset host contracts are presented within

The following describes the valuation methodologies used to measure assets  
and liabilities at fair value. The description includes the valuation           
techniques and key inputs for each category of assets or liabilities that are   
classified within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.              

INVESTMENTS                                                                   

VALUATION CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES                                           

   On behalf of the Company and the Holding Company's Chief Investment Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, a pricing and valuation committee that is      
independent of the trading and investing functions and comprised of senior  
management provides oversight of control systems and valuation policies for 
securities and derivatives. On a quarterly basis, this committee reviews and
approves new transaction types and markets, ensures that observable market  
 prices and market-based parameters are used for valuation, wherever possible,
 and determines that judgmental valuation adjustments, when applied, are based
upon established policies and are applied consistently over time. This      
 committee also provides oversight of the selection of independent third party
pricing providers and the controls and procedures to evaluate third party   
pricing. Periodically, the Chief Accounting Officer reports to the Audit    
Committee of the Holding Company's Board of Directors regarding compliance  
with fair value accounting standards.                                       

The Company reviews its valuation methodologies on an ongoing basis and 
revises those methodologies when necessary based on changing market         
conditions. Assurance is gained on the overall reasonableness and consistent
 application of input assumptions, valuation methodologies and compliance with
fair value accounting standards through controls designed to ensure         
valuations represent an exit price. Several controls are utilized, including
certain monthly controls, which include, but are not limited to, analysis of
portfolio returns to corresponding benchmark returns, comparing a sample of 
executed prices of securities sold to the fair value estimates, comparing   
fair value estimates to management's knowledge of the current market,       
reviewing the bid/ask spreads to assess activity, comparing prices from     
multiple independent pricing services and ongoing due diligence to confirm  
that independent pricing services use market-based parameters. The process  
includes a determination of the observability of inputs used in estimated   
fair values received from independent pricing services or brokers by        
 assessing whether these inputs can be corroborated by observable market data.
The Company ensures that prices received from independent brokers, also     
 referred to herein as "consensus pricing," represent a reasonable estimate of
 fair value by considering such pricing relative to the Company's knowledge of
the current market dynamics and current pricing for similar financial       
instruments.                                                                

  The Company also applies a formal process to challenge any prices received
from independent pricing services that are not considered representative of 
estimated fair value. If prices received from independent pricing services  
are not considered reflective of market activity or representative of       
 estimated fair value, independent non-binding broker quotations are obtained,
or an internally developed valuation is prepared. Internally developed      
valuations of current estimated fair value, which reflect internal estimates
of liquidity and nonperformance risks, compared with pricing received from  
 the independent pricing services, did not produce material differences in the
estimated fair values for the majority of the portfolio; accordingly,       
overrides were not material. This is, in part, because internal estimates of
liquidity and nonperformance risks are generally

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

based on available market evidence and estimates used by other market       
 participants. In the absence of such market-based evidence, management's best
estimate is used.                                                           

SECURITIES AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS                                       

 When available, the estimated fair value of these investments is based on
quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable.  
 Generally, these are the most liquid of the Company's securities holdings and
valuation of these securities does not involve management's judgment.       

 When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination
of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies,
giving priority to observable inputs. The significant inputs to the market  
standard valuation methodologies for certain types of securities with       
 reasonable levels of price transparency are inputs that are observable in the
market or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable   
market data. When observable inputs are not available, the market standard  
valuation methodologies rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated
fair value that are not observable in the market or cannot be derived       
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These         
unobservable inputs can be based in large part on management's judgment or  
estimation and cannot be supported by reference to market activity. Even    
 though these inputs are unobservable, management believes they are consistent
with what other market participants would use when pricing such securities  
and are considered appropriate given the circumstances.                     

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

This level includes fixed maturity securities priced principally by     
independent pricing services using observable inputs. Short-term investments
within this level are of a similar nature and class to the Level 2 fixed    
maturity securities.                                                        

U.S. CORPORATE AND FOREIGN CORPORATE SECURITIES                           

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
 approaches. Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that
  are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use
standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off   
benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of   
identical or comparable securities. Privately placed securities are valued
 using matrix pricing methodologies using standard market observable inputs,
and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data       
including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices
and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that   
incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and in   
certain cases, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific credit related
issues.                                                                   

STRUCTURED SECURITIES COMPRISED OF ABS, CMBS AND RMBS                     

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted  
cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques using standard market 
inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off      
benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and     
forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon,

weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region,  
debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including, 
  but not limited to: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets,
payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal      
performance and vintage of loans.                                         

STATE AND POLITICAL SUBDIVISION AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES           

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
  Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques
 using standard market observable inputs including a benchmark U.S. Treasury
 yield or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads
and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same
sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating.                   

U.S. TREASURY AND AGENCY SECURITIES                                         

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
Valuations are based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not   
active or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard 
 market observable inputs such as a benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the
spread off the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the identical security and   
comparable securities that are actively traded.                           

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

In general, securities classified within Level 3 use many of the same 
 valuation techniques and inputs as described previously for in the Level 2.
However, if key inputs are unobservable, or if the investments are less   
liquid and there is very limited trading activity, the investments are    
generally classified as Level 3. The use of independent non-binding broker
quotations to value investments generally indicates there is a lack of    
 liquidity or a lack of transparency in the process to develop the valuation
 estimates, generally causing these investments to be classified in Level 3.

    Short-term investments within this level are of a similar nature and class
to the Level 3 securities described below; accordingly, the valuation     
techniques and significant market standard observable inputs used in their
valuation are also similar to those described below.                      

U.S. CORPORATE AND FOREIGN CORPORATE SECURITIES                           

These securities are principally valued using the market approach.    
  Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques
that utilize unobservable inputs or inputs that cannot be derived         
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, including   
illiquidity premium, delta spread adjustments to reflect specific         
  credit-related issues, credit spreads and inputs including quoted prices for
identical or similar securities that are less liquid and based on lower   
levels of trading activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain 
valuations are based on independent non-binding broker quotations.        

STRUCTURED SECURITIES COMPRISED OF ABS AND CMBS                           

These securities are principally valued using the market and income   
approaches. Valuations are based primarily on matrix pricing, discounted  
  cash flow methodologies or other similar techniques that utilize inputs that
 are unobservable or cannot be derived principally from, or corroborated by,
observable market data including credit spreads. Below investment grade

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

 are valued based on inputs including quoted prices for identical or similar
securities that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading      
 activity than securities classified in Level 2. Certain of these valuations
are based on independent non-binding broker quotations.                   

DERIVATIVES                                                                   

The estimated fair value of derivatives is determined through the use of  
quoted market prices for exchange-traded derivatives, or through the use of   
pricing models for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives. The             
determination of estimated fair value, when quoted market values are not      
available, is based on market standard valuation methodologies and inputs that
management believes are consistent with what other market participants would  
use when pricing such instruments. Derivative valuations can be affected by   
changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, financial indices,
credit spreads, default risk, nonperformance risk, volatility, liquidity and  
changes in estimates and assumptions used in the pricing models. The valuation
controls and procedures for derivatives are described in "-- Investments."    

The significant inputs to the pricing models for most OTC-bilateral and   
OTC-cleared derivatives are inputs that are observable in the market or can be
derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.         
Significant inputs that are observable generally include: interest rates,     
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, credit curves and      
volatility. However, certain OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives may    
rely on inputs that are significant to the estimated fair value that are not  
observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or            
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant inputs that are          
unobservable generally include references to emerging market currencies and   
inputs that are outside the observable portion of the interest rate curve,    
credit curve, volatility or other relevant market measure. These unobservable 
inputs may involve significant management judgment or estimation. Even though 
unobservable, these inputs are based on assumptions deemed appropriate given  
the circumstances and management believes they are consistent with what other 
market participants would use when pricing such instruments.                  

Most inputs for OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared derivatives are mid-market  
inputs but, in certain cases, liquidity adjustments are made when they are    
deemed more representative of exit value. Market liquidity, as well as the use
of different methodologies, assumptions and inputs, may have a material effect
on the estimated fair values of the Company's derivatives and could materially
affect net income.                                                            

The credit risk of both the counterparty and the Company are considered in
determining the estimated fair value for all OTC-bilateral and OTC-cleared    
derivatives, and any potential credit adjustment is based on the net exposure 
by counterparty after taking into account the effects of netting agreements   
and collateral arrangements. The Company values its OTC-bilateral and         
OTC-cleared derivatives using standard swap curves which may include a spread 
to the risk free rate, depending upon specific collateral arrangements. This  
credit spread is appropriate for those parties that execute trades at pricing 
levels consistent with similar collateral arrangements. As the Company and its
significant derivative counterparties generally execute trades at such pricing
levels and hold sufficient collateral, additional credit risk adjustments are 
not currently required in the valuation process. The Company's ability to     
consistently execute at such pricing levels is in part due to the netting     
agreements and collateral arrangements that are in place with all of its      
significant derivative counterparties. An evaluation of the requirement to    
make additional credit risk adjustments is performed by the Company each      
reporting period.

FREESTANDING DERIVATIVES                                                    

Level 2 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

 This level includes all types of derivatives utilized by the Company with
the exception of exchange-traded derivatives included within Level 1 and    
those derivatives with unobservable inputs as described in Level 3. These   
derivatives are principally valued using the income approach.               

INTEREST RATE                                                             

NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on present value techniques,
which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve and
basis curves.                                                             

OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on option pricing models, which 
utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, basis   
curves and interest rate volatility.                                      

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE                                            

NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on present value techniques,
which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve,   
basis curves, currency spot rates and cross currency basis curves.        

EQUITY MARKET                                                             

NON-OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on present value techniques,
  which utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, spot
equity index levels and dividend yield curves.                            

OPTION-BASED. -- Valuations are based on option pricing models, which 
utilize significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve, spot    
equity index levels, dividend yield curves and equity volatility.         

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                                

These derivatives are principally valued using the income approach.     
Valuations of non-option-based derivatives utilize present value techniques,
 whereas valuations of option-based derivatives utilize option pricing models.
These valuation methodologies generally use the same inputs as described in 
the corresponding sections above for Level 2 measurements of derivatives.   
However, these derivatives result in Level 3 classification because one or  
more of the significant inputs are not observable in the market or cannot be
derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES                                                          

 Embedded derivatives principally include certain assumed and ceded variable
annuity guarantees and equity indexed crediting rates within certain funding  
agreements. Embedded derivatives are recorded at estimated fair value with    
changes in estimated fair value reported in net income.                       

  The fair value of these embedded derivatives, estimated as the present value
of projected future benefits minus the present value of projected future fees 
using actuarial and capital market assumptions including expectations         
concerning policyholder behavior, is calculated by the Company's actuarial    
department. The calculation is based on in-force business, and is performed   
using standard actuarial valuation software which projects future cash flows  
from the embedded derivative over multiple risk neutral stochastic scenarios  
using observable risk free rates.                                             

Capital market assumptions, such as risk free rates and implied           
volatilities, are based on market prices for publicly traded instruments to   
the extent that prices for such instruments are observable. Implied           
volatilities beyond the observable period are extrapolated based on observable
implied volatilities and historical volatilities. Actuarial assumptions,      
including mortality, lapse, withdrawal and utilization, are unobservable and  
are reviewed at least annually based on actuarial studies of historical       
experience.                                                                   

The valuation of these guarantee liabilities includes nonperformance risk 
adjustments and adjustments for a risk margin related to non-capital market   
inputs. The nonperformance adjustment is determined by taking into            
consideration publicly available information relating to spreads in the       
secondary market for the Holding Company's debt, including related credit     
default swaps.                                                                

 Risk margins are established to capture the non-capital market risks of the
instrument which represent the additional compensation a market participant   
would require to assume the risks related to the uncertainties of such        
actuarial assumptions as annuitization, premium persistency, partial          
withdrawal and surrenders. The establishment of risk margins requires the use 
of significant management judgment, including assumptions of the amount and   
cost of capital needed to cover the guarantees. These guarantees may be more  
costly than expected in volatile or declining equity markets. Market          
conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, equity   
indices, market volatility and foreign currency exchange rates; changes in    
nonperformance risk; and variations in actuarial assumptions regarding        
policyholder behavior, mortality and risk margins related to non-capital      
market inputs, may result in significant fluctuations in the estimated fair   
value of the guarantees that could materially affect net income.              

The Company ceded the risk associated with certain of the GMIBs previously
described. These reinsurance agreements contain embedded derivatives which are
included within premiums, reinsurance and other receivables in the balance    
sheets with changes in estimated fair value reported in net derivative gains  
(losses) or policyholder benefits and claims depending on the statement of    
operations classification of the direct risk. The value of the embedded       
derivatives on the ceded risk is determined using a methodology consistent    
with that described previously with the exception of the input for            
nonperformance risk that reflects the credit of the reinsurer.

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

The estimated fair value of the embedded derivatives within funds withheld
related to certain assumed reinsurance is determined based on the change in   
estimated fair value of the underlying assets held by the Company in a        
reference portfolio backing the funds withheld liability. The estimated fair  
value of the underlying assets is determined as previously described in "--   
Investments -- Securities and Short-term Investments." The estimated fair     
value of these embedded derivatives is included, along with their funds       
withheld hosts, in derivative liabilities and funds withheld at interest in   
the balance sheets with changes in estimated fair value recorded in net       
derivative gains (losses). Changes in the credit spreads on the underlying    
assets, interest rates and market volatility may result in significant        
fluctuations in the estimated fair value of these embedded derivatives that   
could materially affect net income.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques and Key Inputs:                              

ASSUMED GUARANTEED MINIMUM BENEFITS                                       

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income    
approach. Valuations are based on option pricing techniques, which utilize
significant inputs that may include swap yield curve, currency exchange   
  rates and implied volatilities. These embedded derivatives result in Level 3
classification because one or more of the significant inputs are not      
observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or        
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs  
generally include: the extrapolation beyond observable limits of the swap 
  yield curve and implied volatilities, actuarial assumptions for policyholder
behavior and mortality and the potential variability in policyholder      
  behavior and mortality, nonperformance risk and cost of capital for purposes
of calculating the risk margin.                                           

REINSURANCE CEDED ON CERTAIN GUARANTEED MINIMUM BENEFITS                  

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using the income    
approach. The valuation techniques and significant market standard        
unobservable inputs used in their valuation are similar to those described
above in " -- Assumed Guaranteed Minimum Benefits" and also include       
counterparty credit spreads.                                              

EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES WITHIN FUNDS WITHHELD RELATED TO CERTAIN ASSUMED     
REINSURANCE                                                               

These embedded derivatives are principally valued using an income     
approach. Valuations are based on present value techniques, which utilize 
 significant inputs that may include the swap yield curve and the fair value
 of assets within the reference portfolio. These embedded derivatives result
 in Level 3 classification because one or more of the significant inputs are
not observable in the market or cannot be derived principally from, or    
corroborated by, observable market data. Significant unobservable inputs  
generally include: the fair value of certain assets within the reference  
portfolio which are not observable in the market and cannot be derived    
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.             

TRANSFERS BETWEEN LEVELS                                                      

Overall, transfers between levels occur when there are changes in the     
observability of inputs and market activity. Transfers into or out of any     
level are assumed to occur at the beginning of the period.

TRANSFERS BETWEEN LEVELS 1 AND 2:                                           

   There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for assets and liabilities
measured at estimated fair value and still held at December 31, 2013 and  
2012.                                                                     

TRANSFERS INTO OR OUT OF LEVEL 3:                                           

Assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 when a significant
input cannot be corroborated with market observable data. This occurs when
market activity decreases significantly and underlying inputs cannot be   
observed, current prices are not available, and/or when there are         
significant variances in quoted prices, thereby affecting transparency.   
Assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances  
change such that a significant input can be corroborated with market      
observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market      
activity, a specific event, or one or more significant input(s) becoming  
observable.                                                               

    Transfers into Level 3 for fixed maturity securities were due primarily to
a lack of trading activity, decreased liquidity and credit ratings        
downgrades (e.g., from investment grade to below investment grade) which  
have resulted in decreased transparency of valuations and an increased use
of independent non-binding broker quotations and unobservable inputs, such
as illiquidity premiums, delta spread adjustments, or credit spreads.     

   Transfers out of Level 3 for fixed maturity securities resulted primarily
from increased transparency of both new issuances that, subsequent to     
  issuance and establishment of trading activity, became priced by independent
pricing services and existing issuances that, over time, the Company was  
able to obtain pricing from, or corroborate pricing received from,        
independent pricing services with observable inputs (such as observable   
spreads used in pricing securities) or increases in market activity and   
upgraded credit ratings.

(1)The weighted average for fixed maturity securities is determined based on    
the estimated fair value of the securities.                               

(2)The impact of a decrease in input would have the opposite impact on the      
estimated fair value. For embedded derivatives, changes to assumed        
 guaranteed minimum benefits are based on liability positions and changes to
ceded guaranteed minimum benefits are based on asset positions.           

(3)Significant increases (decreases) in expected default rates in isolation     
would result in substantially lower (higher) valuations.                  

(4)Range and weighted average are presented in basis points.                    

(5)Range and weighted average are presented in accordance with the market       
convention for fixed maturity securities of dollars per hundred dollars of
par.                                                                      

(6)Changes in the assumptions used for the probability of default is            
  accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the
loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumptions used 
for prepayment rates.                                                     

(7)Ranges represent the underlying equity volatility quoted in percentage       
points. Since this valuation methodology uses a range of inputs across    
 multiple volatility surfaces to value the derivative, presenting a range is
more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation.      

(8)Changes are based on long U.S. dollar net asset positions and will be        
inversely impacted for short U.S. dollar net asset positions.

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

(9)Ranges represent the different correlation factors utilized as components    
 within the valuation methodology. Presenting a range of correlation factors
is more representative of the unobservable input used in the valuation.   
Increases (decreases) in correlation in isolation will increase (decrease)
the significance of the change in valuations.                             

(10)Mortality rates vary by age and by demographic characteristics such as      
gender. Mortality rate assumptions are based on company experience. A   
 mortality improvement assumption is also applied. For any given contract,
mortality rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are    
projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative.              

(11)Base lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison   
of the actuarially calculated guaranteed values and the current         
policyholder account value, as well as other factors, such as the       
applicability of any surrender charges. A dynamic lapse function reduces
  the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account
 value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. Lapse rates are
also generally assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge   
applies. For any given contract, lapse rates vary throughout the period 
over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded
derivative.                                                             

(12)The utilization rate assumption estimates the percentage of contract        
holders with a GMIB or lifetime withdrawal benefit who will elect to    
  utilize the benefit upon becoming eligible. The rates may vary by the type
   of guarantee, the amount by which the guaranteed amount is greater than the
account value, the contract's withdrawal history and by the age of the  
   policyholder. For any given contract, utilization rates vary throughout the
period over which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the  
embedded derivative.                                                    

(13)The withdrawal rate represents the percentage of account balance that any   
  given policyholder will elect to withdraw from the contract each year. The
  withdrawal rate assumption varies by age and duration of the contract, and
also by other factors such as benefit type. For any given contract,     
withdrawal rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are   
 projected for purposes of valuing the embedded derivative. For GMWBs, any
 increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in an increase (decrease)
in the estimated fair value of the guarantees. For GMABs and GMIBs, any 
   increase (decrease) in withdrawal rates results in a decrease (increase) in
the estimated fair value.                                               

(14)Long-term equity volatilities represent equity volatility beyond the period 
for which observable equity volatilities are available. For any given   
   contract, long-term equity volatility rates vary throughout the period over
which cash flows are projected for purposes of valuing the embedded     
derivative.                                                             

(15)Nonperformance risk spread varies by duration and by currency. For any      
  given contract, multiple nonperformance risk spreads will apply, depending
 on the duration of the cash flow being discounted for purposes of valuing
the embedded derivative.                                                

The following is a summary of the valuation techniques and significant      
unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of assets and            
liabilities classified within Level 3 that are not included in the preceding    
table. Generally, all other classes of securities classified within Level 3,    
including those within embedded derivatives within funds withheld related to    
certain assumed reinsurance, use the same valuation techniques and significant  
unobservable inputs as previously described for Level 3 fixed maturity          
securities. This includes matrix pricing and discounted cash flow               
methodologies, inputs such as quoted prices for identical or similar securities 
that are less liquid and based on lower levels of trading activity than         
securities classified in Level 2, as well as independent non-binding broker     
quotations. The sensitivity of the estimated fair value to changes in the       
significant unobservable inputs for these other assets and liabilities is       
similar in nature to that described in the preceding table.

(1)Amortization of premium/accretion of discount is included within net         
investment income. Impairments charged to net income (loss) on securities 
are included in net investment gains (losses). Lapses associated with net 
embedded derivatives are included in net derivative gains (losses).       

(2)Interest and dividend accruals, as well as cash interest coupons and         
dividends received, are excluded from the rollforward.                    

(3)The amount reported within purchases, sales, issuances and settlements is    
the purchase or issuance price and the sales or settlement proceeds based 
 upon the actual date purchased or issued and sold or settled, respectively.
  Items purchased/issued and sold/settled in the same period are excluded from
the rollforward. Fees attributed to embedded derivatives are included in  
settlements.                                                              

(4)Gains and losses, in net income (loss) and other comprehensive income        
(loss), are calculated assuming transfers into and/or out of Level 3      
  occurred at the beginning of the period. Items transferred into and then out
of Level 3 in the same period are excluded from the rollforward.          

(5)Changes in unrealized gains (losses) included in net income (loss) relate to 
assets and liabilities still held at the end of the respective periods.   

(6)Embedded derivative assets and liabilities are presented net for purposes of 
the rollforward.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT OTHER THAN FAIR VALUE            

 The following tables provide fair value information for financial instruments
that are carried on the balance sheet at amounts other than fair value. These   
tables exclude the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents,  
accrued investment income, the obligation to return cash collateral received    
(included in other liabilities on the balance sheets) and short-term            
investments that are not securities, such as time deposits, and therefore are   
not included in the three level hierarchy table disclosed in the "-- Recurring  
Fair Value Measurements" section. The estimated fair value of the excluded      
financial instruments, which are primarily classified in Level 2 and, to a      
lesser extent, in Level 1, approximates carrying value as they are short-term   
in nature such that the Company believes there is minimal risk of material      
changes in interest rates or credit quality. All remaining balance sheet        
amounts excluded from the table below are not considered financial instruments  
subject to this disclosure.                                                     

 The carrying values and estimated fair values for such financial instruments,
and their corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy, are summarized   
as follows at:

 The methods, assumptions and significant valuation techniques and inputs used
to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:  

PREMIUMS, REINSURANCE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES                                   

Premiums, reinsurance and other receivables are principally comprised of  
certain amounts recoverable under reinsurance agreements and amounts on       
deposit with financial institutions to facilitate daily settlements related to
certain derivatives.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

7. FAIR VALUE (CONTINUED)                                                       

Premiums receivable and those amounts recoverable under reinsurance       
agreements determined to transfer significant risk are not financial          
instruments subject to disclosure and thus have been excluded from the amounts
presented. Amounts recoverable under ceded reinsurance agreements, which the  
Company has determined do not transfer significant risk such that they are    
accounted for using the deposit method of accounting, have been classified as 
Level 3. The valuation is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using   
significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using 
interest rates determined to reflect the appropriate credit standing of the   
assuming counterparty.                                                        

The amounts on deposit for derivative settlements, classified within Level
2, essentially represent the equivalent of demand deposit balances and amounts
due for securities sold are generally received over short periods such that   
the estimated fair value approximates carrying value.                         

DEBT -- AFFILIATED                                                            

The estimated fair value of debt is principally determined using market 
standard valuation methodologies. Valuations are based primarily on quoted  
prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing that use      
standard market observable inputs such as quoted prices in markets that are 
not active and observable yields and spreads in the market. Instruments     
valued using discounted cash flow methodologies use standard market         
observable inputs including market yield curve, duration, observable prices 
and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues.         

OTHER LIABILITIES                                                             

Other liabilities consist primarily of interest payable. The Company      
evaluates the specific terms, facts and circumstances of each instrument to   
determine the appropriate estimated fair values, which are not materially     
different from the carrying values.                                           

8. DEBT -- AFFILIATED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)  

11. INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)                                                      

Domestic net operating carryforwards of $192,099 thousand at December 31,   
2013 will expire beginning in 2028. Tax credit carryforwards of $113 thousand   
at December 31, 2013 will expire beginning in 2022.                             

The lack of a valuation allowance reflects management's assessment, based on
available information, that it is more likely than not that the deferred income 
tax asset will be realizable. In 2013, management believes that it is more      
likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient  
taxable income to realize gross deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company   
has not recorded a valuation allowance against its gross deferred tax assets.   
The Company has determined that a valuation allowance against its deferred tax  
assets is not appropriate as of the year ended December 31, 2012.               

Prior to October 1, 2013, the Company was registered as an exempted company 
pursuant to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. No local income, profits   
or capital gains taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the current time. As 
a result, no provision for such taxes is recorded by the Company.               

Prior to the re-domestication, the Company made an election to be treated as
an U.S. Domestic entity under Internal Revenue Code Section ("Sec.") 953(d).    
The election under Sec. 953(d) is valid through December 31, 2013. The Company  
joins with the Holding Company and its includable life insurance and non-life   
insurance subsidiaries in filing a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return  
in accordance with the provision of the Code. Pursuant to this tax sharing      
agreement, the amount due from the Holding Company was $196.6 million and       
$261.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.                     

The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and is
under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company is no 
longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2003, 
with the exception of the period October 31, 2000 through December 31, 2000.    
The IRS audit cycle for the years 2003 through 2006, which began in April 2010, 
is expected to conclude in 2014. It is not expected to have a material impact   
on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no        
liability for unrecognized tax benefits.                                        

12. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS                                               

 There is no pending or threatened litigation, claim or assessment against the
Company that would constitute a material loss contingency.                      

Various litigation, claims or assessments against the Company may arise in  
the ordinary course of the Company's business. Liabilities for litigations,     
claims or assessments are established when it is probable that a loss has been  
incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company    
regularly reviews relevant information with respect to liabilities for          
litigation, regulatory investigations and litigation-related contingencies to   
be reflected in the Company's financial statements. Based on information        
currently known by the Company's management, in its opinion, there are no       
current legal proceedings, likely to have such an effect. However, it is        
possible that an adverse outcome in a litigation matter, should such a          
litigation matter arise in the future, could have a material effect on the      
Company's net income or cash flows.

13. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS                                            

 The Company had net payables to affiliates of $593 thousand and $877 thousand
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These payables exclude affiliated  
reinsurance balances discussed in Note 4 and affiliated debt balances discussed 
in Note 8.                                                                      

See Note 5 for additional related party transactions.                       

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS                                                           

In anticipation of the Mergers, certain risks formerly reinsured by Exeter  
were re-directed to affiliates through various forms of transactions. For       
certain risks that were re-directed in October 2014 and November 2014, the      
agreement terms included that the initial settlement amounts were to be based   
upon the reinsurance balances at September 30, 2014. The estimated impacts of   
these transactions to Exeter were a decrease in cash and invested assets of     
$2.6 billion, a decrease in future policy benefits of $500 million, a decrease  
in policyholder account balances of $1.2 billion and a decrease in other        
policy-related balances of $800 million. Also as a result of these              
transactions, Exeter recorded an estimated net loss of $100 million during the  
fourth quarter of 2014. These estimated amounts will be adjusted to actual      
settlement amounts by January 2015, in accordance with the applicable           
reinsurance recapture agreements' terms. The Company expects to enter into      
another affiliated reinsurance transaction on or around November 10, 2014. The  
estimated impacts, based upon the account balances at September 30, 2014, are a 
decrease in cash and invested assets of $400 million, a decrease in future      
policy benefits of $500 million, offset by an increase in other policy-related  
balances of $100 million. It is likely that the final settlement amounts of     
these reinsurance transactions, that will consider additional available         
information, will differ from the estimated amounts and it is possible the      
differences may be material.

ITEM 27. NUMBER OF CONTRACT OWNERS                                              

As of September 30, 2014, there were 407,520 owners of qualified contracts and  
182,116 owners of non-qualified contracts offered by the Registrant (MetLife    
Investors USA Separate Account A).                                              

ITEM 28. INDEMNIFICATION                                                        

As described in their respective governing documents, MetLife, Inc.(the 
ultimate parent of the Depositor and MetLife Investors Distribution Company,    
the Registrant's underwriter (the "Underwriter")) and the Depositor, each of    
which is incorporated in the state of Delaware, shall indemnify any person who  
is made or is threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal suit, or   
any administrative or investigative proceeding, by reason of that person's      
service as a director, officer, or agent of the respective company, under       
certain circumstances, against liabilities and expenses incurred by such person 
(except, with respect to the Depositor, as described below regarding MetLife    
Employees).                                                                     

As described in its governing documents, the Underwriter, which is      
incorporated in the state of Missouri, may indemnify, under certain             
circumstances, any person who is made a party to any civil or criminal suit, or 
made a subject of any administrative or investigative proceeding by reason of   
the fact that he is or was a director, officer, or agent of the Underwriter.    
The Underwriter also has such other and further powers of indemnification as    
are not inconsistent with the laws of Missouri.                                 

MetLife, Inc. also has adopted a policy to indemnify employees ("MetLife
Employees") of MetLife, Inc. or its affiliates ("MetLife"), including any       
MetLife Employees serving as directors or officers of the Depositor or the      
Underwriter. Under the policy, MetLife, Inc. will, under certain circumstances, 
indemnify MetLife Employees for losses and expenses incurred in connection with 
legal actions threatened or brought against them as a result of their service   
to MetLife. The policy excludes MetLife directors and others who are not        
MetLife Employees, whose rights to indemnification, if any, are as described in 
the charter, bylaws or other arrangement of the relevant company.               

MetLife, Inc. also maintains a Directors and Officers Liability and     
Corporate Reimbursement Insurance Policy under which the Registrant, the        
Depositor and the Underwriter, as well as certain other subsidiaries of         
MetLife, are covered. MetLife, Inc. also has secured a Financial Institutions   
Bond.                                                                           

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