following each premium payment being withdrawn, You may
be assessed a surrender charge. The surrender charge is
assessed for 7 years with a maximum of 8%. The surrender
charge is assessed for the first 4 years with a maximum
of 8% under the Landmark with the Liquidity Rider. For
example, if You make an early withdrawal, You could pay a surrender charge on a $100,000 investment of up to $8,000. If You elected Life with Emergency
CashSM option, You may
surrender Your Policy after the Annuity Commencement
Date, but will incur a surrender charge for 4 years with
a maximum of 4%. |

Investing in the
Policy | ||
| Not a Short-Term
Investment |
This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash.
Surrender charges may apply for several years under the Policy.
Surrender charges will reduce the value of Your Policy if
You withdraw money during that time.
The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protection also means
the Policy is more beneficial to investors with a
long-term time horizon. |

Compensation |
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this
Policy to You, in the form of commissions, additional
cash benefits (e.g., bonuses), and non-cash compensation.
Our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) is the principal underwriter and may share the
revenue we earn on this Policy with Your investment
professional’s firm. In addition, we may pay all or
a portion of the cost of affiliates’ operating and
other expenses. This conflict of interest may influence Your investment professional to recommend this Policy over another investment

Distribution of the
Policies | ||
| Exchanges |
If You already own an insurance Policy, some investment professionals
may have a financial incentive to offer You a new Policy
in place of the one You own. You should only exchange a
Policy you already own if You determine, after comparing
the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it
is better for You to purchase the new Policy rather than continue to own Your existing Policy. |

Payout Considerations |
If You choose to Annuitize Your Policy
prior to the end of the 10-year waiting
period, you may not utilize the benefit
of the FIP rider. |
If You Annuitize using the MAP rider
before the 10th rider anniversary, the
first payment will be calculated with an
annuity factor age adjustment resulting
in lower payments than if an annuity
factor age adjustment was not used.
The age adjustment shown in the table
below should be subtracted from Your
current age nearest birthday. The years
shown in the table below should be
considered complete years since the
Rider Date and the age adjustment is as
follows:
Rider YearsAge Adjustment 19 |
If You Annuitize using the MAP II rider before the 10th rider anniversary, the MAP II annuity income will not be fully vested and the first payment will be calculated with an annuity income vesting percentage of less than 100%, which reduces the amount of Your first payment by up to 50%. The years shown in the table below should be considered complete years since the Rider Date and the income vesting schedule is as follows: Rider

the Withdrawal Percentage, and
2)The RMD amount for this Policy for the current calendar year. •The policyholder does not have to take the entire MAWA in any year. •If they do not take the full amount available, the remaining portion does not carry over to the next calendar year. |

showing the effect of withdrawals on
the WB. |
The GMWB guarantees a withdrawal
amount regardless of the Policy Value.
The policyholder has 2 withdrawal
guarantees available. Once the rider is
issued, values for both withdrawal
guarantees will be calculated
indefinitely as follows:
a)7% Principal Back: The
policyholder can withdraw up to
7% of the 7% Principal Back TWB
per year until at least the time at
which the 7% Principal Back
MRWA has reached zero.
b)5% For Life: The policyholder can
withdraw up to 5% of the 5% For
Life TWB each year starting with
the Rider Anniversary following the
Annuitant's 59th birthday until at
least the later of the death of the
Annuitant or the time when the 5%
For Life MRWA* has reached zero.
* The MRWA represents the total
minimum dollar amount of guaranteed
withdrawals the policyholder has
remaining provided they take no more
than the MAWA each year. |

the For Life Withdrawal
Percentage based on the
Annuitant's2 attained age, and
2)The RMD amount for this Policy for the current calendar year. •The policyholder does not have to take the entire MAWA in any year. |

during the accumulation phase. •The fee is calculated on a quarterly basis and varies depending on the fund allocation option You have chosen. •A “rider fee adjustment” will be applied for
transfers between allocation groups and for
subsequent premium payments and withdrawals
that change the withdrawal base. •The base rider fee adjustment will be calculated using the same formula as the base rider fee. •The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be allocated. •A pro-rated fee is deducted at the time the rider is terminated or upgraded. |

be elected with this rider. Upon the death of an
Annuitant2, this rider will pay an additional
death benefit amount equal to the excess, if any, of the

| Allocation Methods |
Open Allocation Method (OAM): •This program will automatically allocate assets
from the policyholder's Separate Accounts to a
Subaccount of our choosing when the Policy Value
has dropped relative to the guaranteed amount. •If the Policy Value increases enough in relation to the guaranteed amounts, the money will be moved back into the Separate Accounts (pro-rata based on the policy holder's current Separate Account values). •The allocation of assets between the accounts is at our sole discretion but will initially use modern financial theory to determine the correct allocation. •The policyholder may not allocate premium payments to, nor transfer Policy Value into or out of the OAM Investment Options.

Withdrawal Option Election Date - This is
the date the withdrawal option is selected by the Policy
Owner.
ILSD - This is the date the Policy Owner elects to begin receiving payments. ILWY - This is each 12-month period
beginning on the ILSD and establishes the time period for
withdrawing Your RWA and is reset at the beginning
of each withdrawal year.
ILSW - There are 4 systematic payment options specific to this rider. Any withdrawal that is not an ILSW will be considered an excess withdrawal.

showing the effect of withdrawals on
the WB. |
The GMWB guarantees a withdrawal
amount regardless of the Policy Value.
The policyholder has 2 withdrawal
guarantees available. Once the rider is
issued, values for both withdrawal
guarantees will be calculated
indefinitely as follows:
a)7% Principal Back: The
policyholder can withdraw up to
7% of the 7% Principal Back TWB
per year until at least the time at
which the 7% Principal Back
MRWA has reached zero.
b)5% For Life: The policyholder can
withdraw up to 5% of the 5% For
Life TWB each year starting with
the Rider Anniversary following the
Annuitant's 59th birthday until at
least the later of the death of the
Annuitant or the time when the 5%
For Life MRWA* has reached zero.
* The MRWA represents the total
minimum dollar amount of guaranteed
withdrawals the policyholder has
remaining provided they take no more
than the MAWA each year. •The policyholder does not have to take the entire MAWA in any year. •If they do not take the full amount available, the remaining portion does not carry over to the next calendar year. |
The percentage is determined by the
attained age of the Annuitant2 at the
time of the first withdrawal. •Starting the rider anniversary following the Annuitant's259th birthday, the withdrawal percentage increases above 0% which creates a RWA available under the rider for withdrawal. •On each rider anniversary, the RWA will be reset equal to the greater of: 1)The WB multiplied by the
Withdrawal Percentage based on
the attained age of the
Annuitant2 at the time of their
first withdrawal if applicable, and
2)The RMD amount for this Policy for the current calendar year. •The policyholder does not have to take the entire RWA in any year. •If they do not take the full amount available, the remaining portion does not carry over to the next rider year.

higher whole number of months. |
| C |

Current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premiums for the next
longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no
longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity
(in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month, plus up to
2% (the amount of the “adjustment” will be based on an actuarial risk based analysis
considering a number of financial criteria including the
prevailing interest rate environment). |

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying statutory basis financial statements of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets statutory basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations - statutory basis, of changes in capital and surplus - statutory basis, and of cash flow - statutory basis for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes and schedules of supplementary insurance information and reinsurance for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and summary of investments other than investments in related parties as of December 31, 2022 listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services described in Note 2.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the accompanying financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

T: (312) 298 2000, www.pwc.com/us
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services. Management is also responsible for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
| | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Companys internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
| | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. |
| | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

1. Organization and Nature of Business
Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company owned by Commonwealth General Corporation (CGC). CGC is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegon N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.
On October 1, 2020, the Company completed mergers with Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company (TPLIC), an Iowa-domiciled affiliate and MLIC Re I, Inc. (MLIC Re), a Vermont-domiciled subsidiary. On December 31, 2020, the Company completed a merger with Pine Falls Re, Inc. (PFRe), a Vermont-domiciled subsidiary.
The mergers were accounted for in accordance with the Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 68, Business Combinations and Goodwill, as statutory mergers. As such, financial statements for periods prior to the mergers were combined and the recorded assets, liabilities and surplus of TPLIC, MLIC Re and PFRe on a US statutory basis were carried forward to the merged company. The common capital stock of TPLIC, MLIC Re and PFRe was deemed cancelled by operation of law under the Plans of Merger. Each share of the Companys capital stock issued and outstanding immediately before the mergers continues to represent one share of the capital stock. The business the Company previously assumed from TPLIC and the business previously ceded from the Company to TPLIC, MLIC Re and PFRe is no longer reflected as assumed and ceded risks in the restated merged financials.
Nature of Business
The Company sells individual life insurance, including index universal life, whole life, term life, and final expense life. It also sells variable and registered index-linked annuities. In addition, the Company offers supplemental health insurance, group life insurance, group annuity contracts and stable value solutions. The Company is licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and US Virgin Islands. Sales of the Companys products are primarily through a network of independent agents and broker-dealers, affiliated agencies, and financial institutions.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Insurance Division (IID), which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The IID recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Iowa for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the Iowa Insurance Law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Iowa. Prescribed statutory accounting practices include state laws and regulations. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass accounting practices that are not prescribed. The Commissioner of Insurance has the right to permit specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
The following is a summary of the accounting practices permitted and prescribed by the IID and reflected in the Companys financial statements which differs from NAIC SAP:
The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to credit for reinsurance. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 191-5.33 (10)(d), the Commissioner has deemed the book value of assets held in a comfort trust as acceptable security for purposes of taking reserve credit for liabilities ceded to an unauthorized reinsurer while it seeks reciprocal jurisdiction status. Under Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles No. 61R, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance, the market value of trust assets is considered allowable security.
The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the reported value of the assets supporting the Companys guaranteed separate accounts. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 508A.1.4, the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to value the assets of the guaranteed separate account at amortized cost, whereas the assets would be required to be reported at fair value under SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts, of the NAIC SAP. There is no impact to the Companys income or surplus as a result of utilizing this prescribed practice.
The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the reported value of assets supporting the Companys registered index linked annuity (RILA). In accordance with Iowa Administrative Code 508A.1.4, the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to use book value accounting treatment for separate account investments backing the Companys RILA, whereas the assets would be required to be reported at fair value under SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts of the NAIC SAP. There is no impact to the Companys income or surplus as a result of utilizing this prescribed practice.
Pursuant to Iowa Administrative Code 521A.5(1)c, the State of Iowa has allowed a permitted accounting practice that differs from that found in NAIC SAP related to the valuation of a foreign insurance subsidiary, controlled and affiliated (SCA) entity. With the explicit permission of the Iowa Insurance Division, the Company values Transamerica Life (Bermuda) Ltd. (TLB), a foreign SCA, in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No 97, Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, paragraph 8.b.i, as a U.S. insurance SCA entity at its underlying audited U.S. statutory equity. In addition, for Risk Based Capital (RBC) calculation purposes, this entity is categorized on page LR042 with Category 2 Direct U.S. Life Subsidiaries. Absent this permitted practice, TLB would be valued in accordance with SSAP No. 97, paragraph 8.b.iv, as a foreign insurance SCA at its audited foreign statutory basis financial statements with certain adjustments.
A reconciliation of the Companys net income (loss) and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the State of Iowa is shown below:

The IID issued a no objection letter from the year 2020 for the Company to present historical permitted practices that differ from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the admission of letters of credit as admitted assets and as an element of capital surplus. Prior to merging with the Company, MLIC Re and PFRe, with the explicit permission of the Deputy Commissioner of the Captive Insurance Division of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, included as admitted assets the value of letters of credit serving as collateral for reinsurance credit taken by affiliates in connection with reinsurance agreements. These historical permitted practices were included on a merged entity basis for periods prior to the effective date of the mergers. The letters of credit were for the benefit of the Company and TPLIC. The permitted practice terminated upon the merger of MLIC Re and PFRe into the Company and had no impact at December 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
The effects of the following variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material. Significant accounting policies and variances from GAAP are as follows:
Investments
Investments in bonds, except those to which the Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC has ascribed a NAIC designation of 6, are reported at amortized cost using the interest method. Bonds containing call provisions, except make-whole call provisions, are amortized to the call or maturity value/date which produces the lowest asset value, often referred to as yield-to-worst method. Bonds ascribed a NAIC designation of 6 are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in changes in capital and surplus. Prepayment penalty or acceleration fees received in the event a bond is liquidated prior to its scheduled termination date are reported as investment income.
Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuers senior note holders. These securities meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26R, Bonds, and therefore, are reported at amortized cost or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.
For GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in earnings for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) for those designated as available-for-sale.
Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method, including anticipated prepayments, except for those with an initial NAIC designation of 6, which are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. These securities are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium using either the retrospective or prospective methods. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. For statutory reporting, the retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities, which are valued using the prospective method.
For GAAP, all securities purchased or retained that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets, other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.
The Company closely monitors below investment grade holdings and investment grade issuers where the Company has concerns to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) has occurred. The Company also regularly monitors industry sectors. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary including: (1) the probability of the Company collecting all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security in effect at the date of acquisition; (2) the Companys decision to
12
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
sell a security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying amount; and (3) the Companys ability to hold a structured security for a period of time to allow for recovery of the value to its carrying amount. Additionally, financial condition, near term prospects of the issuer and nationally recognized credit rating changes are monitored. Non-structured securities in unrealized loss positions that are considered other-than-temporary are written down to fair value. The Company will record a charge to the Statements of Operations for the amount of the impairment.
For structured securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored. An OTTI is considered to have occurred if the fair value of the structured security is less than its amortized cost basis and the entity intends to sell the security or the entity does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. An OTTI is also considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security and the security is in an unrealized loss position. Structured securities considered other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to discounted estimated cash flows if the impairment is the result of cash flow analysis. If the Company has an intent to sell or lack of ability to hold a structured security, it is written down to fair value. The Company will record a charge to the Statements of Operations for the amount of the impairments.
For GAAP, if it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary and the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment date. If the entity does not intend to sell the security or the entity will likely not be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI should be separated into a) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and b) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in OCI, net of applicable taxes.
Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated redeemable preferred stocks in good standing (those with NAIC designations 1 to 3), are reported at cost or amortized cost, depending on the characteristics of the securities. Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated redeemable preferred stocks not in good standing (those with NAIC designations 4 to 6), are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value, depending on the characteristics of the securities. Investment in perpetual preferred stocks are reported at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price. Investment in mandatory convertible preferred stocks (regardless if the preferred stock is redeemable or perpetual) are reported at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price, in the periods prior to conversion. For preferred stocks reported at fair value, the related net unrealized capital gains and losses for all NAIC designations are reported in accordance with SSAP No. 7, Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve.
Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity. The net change in the subsidiaries equity is included in net unrealized capital gains or losses and are reported in changes in capital and surplus.
Common stocks of unaffiliated companies, which include shares of mutual funds, are reported at fair value and the related net unrealized capital gains or losses are reported in changes in capital and surplus.

The Company owns stock issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), which is only redeemable at par, and its fair value is presumed to be par, unless other-than-temporarily impaired.
If the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a common stock or a preferred stock is other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the Statements of Operations. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer; (b) whether or not the Company has made a decision to sell the investment; and (c) the length of time and extent to which the value has been below cost.
Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized. Prepayment penalty or acceleration fees received in the event a loan is liquidated prior to its scheduled termination date are reported as investment income.
Valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans, if necessary, based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.
The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus as part of the change in asset valuation reserve (AVR), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.
Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost net of encumbrances. Real estate held for the production of income is reported at depreciated cost net of related obligations. Real estate the Company classifies as held for sale is measured at lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the Company determines that the carrying amount of the real estate is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company deems that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable if the carrying amount exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the assets carrying value exceeds its fair value.
Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis as for GAAP. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses for statutory reporting include rent for the Companys occupancy of those properties.

between depreciated cost and admitted amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.
The Company has interests in joint ventures and limited partnerships. The Company carries these investments based on its interest in the underlying GAAP equity of the investee.
For a decline in the fair value of an investment in a joint venture or limited partnership which is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the Statements of Operations. The Company considers an impairment to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the investment or if there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings which would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties are valued at amortized cost. Tax credits are recognized in operations in the tax reporting year in which the tax credit is utilized by the Company. The carrying value is amortized over the life of the investment. Amortization is calculated as a ratio of the current year tax credits and tax benefits compared to the total expected tax credits and tax benefits over the life of the investment.
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less (principally stated at amortized cost) or money market mutual funds which are reported at fair value.
Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.
Other invested assets consist of surplus notes which are valued at cost, as required or permitted by Iowa Insurance Laws.
Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts of bonds, mortgage loans, common and preferred stocks are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Income is also not accrued when collection is uncertain. Due and accrued amounts determined to be uncollectible are written off through the Statements of Operations.
Valuation Reserves
Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, primarily bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals into net
15

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
investment income over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. The net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying Balance Sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.
The AVR provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by a NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.
Derivative Instruments
Overview: The Company uses various derivative instruments (options, caps, floors, swaps, forwards, and futures) to manage risks related to its ongoing business operations. On the transaction date of the derivative instrument, the Company designates the derivative as either (A) hedging (fair value, foreign currency fair value, cash flow, foreign currency cash flow, forecasted transactions, or net investment in a foreign operation), (B) replication, (C) income generation, or (D) held for other investment/risk management activities, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86, Derivatives.
| (A) | Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability (amortized cost or fair value). Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and the risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value. |
| (B) | Derivative instruments are also used in replication (synthetic asset) transactions (RSAT). A replication transaction is a derivative transaction entered into in conjunction with a cash instrument to reproduce the investment characteristics of an otherwise permissible investment. In these transactions, the derivative is accounted for in a manner consistent with the cash instrument and replicated asset. For GAAP, the derivative is reported at fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in income. |
| (C) | Derivative instruments used in income generation relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the associated covered asset or underlying interest to which the derivative relates (amortized cost or fair value). |
| (D) | Derivative instruments held for other investment/risk management activities are measured at fair value with value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. |

Derivative instruments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make the instruments less valuable. The Company uses derivatives as hedges, consequently, when the value of the hedged asset or liability changes, the value of the hedging derivative is expected to move in the opposite direction. Market risk is a consideration when changes in the value of the derivative and the hedged item do not completely offset (correlation or basis risk) which is mitigated by active measuring and monitoring.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit rating of BBB or better. The credit exposure of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is represented by the fair value of contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value at the reporting date. The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Companys behalf. The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating of the counterparty. Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post assets instead.
Instruments:
Interest rate swaps are the primary derivative financial instruments used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset or liability. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed and floating rate amounts based on an underlying notional amount. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds equal to the fair value of the contract are exchanged. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.
Cross currency swaps are utilized to mitigate risks when the Company holds foreign denominated assets or liabilities; therefore, converting the asset or liability to a U.S. dollar denominated security. These cross currency swap agreements involve the exchange of two principal amounts in two different currencies at the prevailing currency rate at contract inception. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a pre-determined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually where the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the hedged instrument. For swaps qualifying for hedge accounting, the premium or discount is amortized into income over the life of the contract and the foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain/loss in capital and surplus. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus. If a swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment.

Total return swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the market risk on minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These total return swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed leg (tied to the Standard & Poors (S&P) or other global market financial index) and floating leg (tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)) amounts based on an underlying notional amount (also tied to the underlying index). Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, in the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus.
Variance swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the gamma risk created when the Company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These variance swaps are similar to volatility options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements. Variance swaps do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of initiating the variance swap, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. Variance swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus.
Bond forwards are used to hedge the interest rate risk that future liability claims increase as rates decrease, leading to higher guarantee values. Bond return swaps are also used to hedge interest rate risk of the underlying liability by exchanging performance and interest of a treasury asset for a funding level plus spread.
Futures contracts are used to hedge the liability risk when the Company issues products providing the customer a return based on various global market indices. Futures are marked to market on a daily basis whereby a cash payment is made or received by the Company. These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements.
The Company issues products providing the customer a return based on the various global equity market indices. The Company uses options to hedge the liability option risk associated with these products. Options are marked to fair value in the Balance Sheets and fair value adjustments are recorded as capital and surplus in the financial statements. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment.
Caps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the interest rate risk created due to a rapidly rising interest rate environment. The caps are similar to options where the underlying interest rate index provides for the market value movements. The caps do not accrue interest until the interest rate environment exceeds the caps strike rate. Cash is exchanged at the onset, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. Caps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds
18
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Caps that do not meet hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.
The Company uses zero cost collars to hedge the interest rate risk associated with rising short term interest rates, whereby the exposure would otherwise adversely impact the Companys capital generation. The collar position(s) help range bound the floating rate by combining a cap and floor position.
The Company may sell products with expected benefit payments extending beyond investment assets currently available in the market. Because assets will have to be purchased in the future to fund future liability cash flows, the Company is exposed to the risk of future investments made at lower yields than what is assumed at the time of pricing. Forward-starting interest rate swaps are utilized to lock-in the current forward rate. The accrual of income begins at the forward date, rather than at the inception date. These forward-starting swaps meet hedge accounting rules and are carried at cost in the financial statements. Gains and losses realized upon termination of the forward-starting swap are deferred and used to adjust the basis of the asset purchased in the hedged forecasted period. The basis adjustment is then amortized into income as a yield adjustment to the asset over its life.
The Company issues fixed liabilities that have a guaranteed minimum crediting rate. The Company uses receiver swaptions, whereby the swaption is designed to generate cash flows to offset lower yields on assets during a low interest rate environment. The Company pays a single premium at the beginning of the contract and is amortized throughout the life of the swaption. These swaptions are marked to fair value in the Balance Sheets and the fair value adjustment is recorded in unassigned surplus. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment.
The Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds or sovereign debt by combining a highly rated security as a cash component with a written credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into an investment grade corporate asset or a sovereign debt. The benefits of using the swap market to replicate credit include possible enhanced relative values as well as ease of executing larger transactions in a shortened time frame. Generally, a premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income. In the event the representative issuer defaults on its debt obligation referenced in the contract, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss.
Securities Lending Assets and Liabilities
The Company loans securities to third parties under agent-managed securities lending programs accounted for as secured borrowings. Cash collateral received which may be sold or repledged by the Company is reflected as a one-line entry on the Balance Sheets (Securities lending reinvested collateral assets) and a corresponding liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral. Non-cash collateral received which may not be sold or repledged is not recorded on the Companys Balance Sheets. Under GAAP, the reinvested collateral is included within invested assets and is not reported as a single line item.

Repurchase Agreements
For dollar repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities transferred by the Company in the transaction as of the transaction date. The securities transferred are not removed from the Balance Sheets, and the cash received as collateral is invested as needed or used for general corporate purposes of the Company. A liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral and included in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets.
Other Assets and Other Liabilities
Other assets consist primarily of cash surrender value of company owned life insurance, receivable from parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, general insurance accounts receivable, and reinsurance receivable.
Other liabilities consist primarily of amounts withheld by the Company, accrued expenses, reinsurance payable, unearned investment income, remittances, payable for securities, custody offset, and municipal repurchase agreements. Municipal repurchase agreements are investment contracts issued to municipalities that pay either a fixed or floating rate of interest on the guaranteed deposit balance. The floating interest rate is based on a market index. The related liabilities are equal to the policyholder deposit and accumulated interest. These municipal repurchase agreements require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred to be maintained as collateral.
Separate Accounts
The majority of separate accounts held by the Company, primarily for individual policyholders as well as for group pension plans, do not have any minimum guarantees, and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne by the policyholder. The assets in the accounts, carried at estimated fair value, consist of underlying mutual fund shares, common stocks, long-term bonds and short-term investments.
Certain other separate accounts held by the Company provide a minimum guaranteed return of 3% of the average investment balance to policyholders. The assets consist of long-term bonds and short-term investments which are carried at amortized cost.
Certain other non-indexed guaranteed separate accounts represent funds invested by the Company for the benefit of the contract holders who are guaranteed certain returns as specified in the contracts. Separate account asset performance different than the guaranteed requirements is either transferred to or received from the general account and reported in the Statements of Operations. Non-indexed guaranteed separate account assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. These guarantees are included in the general account due to the nature of the guaranteed return.
Assets held in trust for purchases of variable life, variable universal life, variable annuity, and modified guaranteed annuity contracts and the Companys corresponding obligation to the
20
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
contract owners are shown separately in the Balance Sheets. The assets in the separate accounts are valued at fair value.
Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The investment risks associated with fair value changes of the separate accounts are borne entirely by the policyholders except in cases where minimum guarantees exist.
Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts supporting modified guaranteed annuity contracts are included in the statements of operations as a component of net transfers from separate accounts.
Surplus funds transferred from the general account to the separate accounts, commonly referred to as seed money, and earnings accumulated on seed money are reported as surplus in the separate accounts until transferred or repatriated to the general account. The transfer of such funds between the separate account and the general account is reported as surplus contributed or withdrawn during the year.
Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts
Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are calculated by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed cash value, or the amount required by law. For direct business issued after October 1964, the Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium for periods beyond the month of death. For policies assumed during 1992 from former affiliates, Monumental General Insurance Company and Monumental Life Insurance Group, Inc., and for all business from company mergers occurring in 1998, the Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premium upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium paid beyond the month of death. For fixed premium life insurance business resulting from company mergers occurring in 2004 and 2007, the Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and refunds portions of premiums unearned after the date of death. Where appropriate, the Company holds a non-deduction and/or refund reserve. The reserve for these benefits is computed using aggregate methods. The reserves are equal to the greater of the cash surrender value and the legally computed reserve.
For GAAP, policy reserves are calculated based on estimated expected experience or actual account balances.
Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves. For annual premium variable life insurance there is an extra premium charged to the policyholder before the premium is transferred to the Separate Accounts. An additional reserve for this policy is held in the General Account that is a multiple of the reserve that would otherwise be held. For interest sensitive whole life, the reserves held in the General Account are equal to the cash surrender value.

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
In accordance with SSAP No. 51R, Life Contracts, and No. 54R, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts, the Company reports the amount of insurance, if any, for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the valuation standards and any related premium deficiency reserve established. Anticipated investment income is included as a factor in the health contract premium deficiency calculation.
Policy and Contract Claim Reserves
Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the Balance Sheets date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes available.
Deposit-Type Contracts
Deposit-type contracts do not incorporate risk from the death or disability of policyholders. These types of contracts may include guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), funding agreements and other annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance and are not reported as premiums, benefits or changes in reserves in the Statements of Operations. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits.
Premiums and Annuity Considerations
Revenues for life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability using deposit accounting.
Policyholder Dividends
Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies as would be required under GAAP.
Reinsurance
Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of in force blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and amortized into income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been
22
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively. Policy liabilities and accruals are reported in the accompanying financial statements net of reinsurance ceded.
Any reinsurance amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations. In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances would be established for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.
Losses associated with an indemnity reinsurance transaction are reported within income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the underlying reinsured contracts as would be required under GAAP.
Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP.
Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.
Under GAAP, for certain reinsurance agreements whereby assets are retained by the ceding insurer (such as funds withheld or modified coinsurance) and a return is paid based on the performance of underlying investments, the assets and liabilities for these reinsurance arrangements must be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the invested assets. The NAIC SAP does not contain a similar requirement.
Deferred Income Taxes
The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes. Unlike GAAP, SSAP No. 101 does not consider state income taxes in the measurement of deferred taxes. SSAP No. 101 also requires additional testing to measure gross deferred tax assets. The additional testing limits gross deferred tax asset admission to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years recoverable through hypothetical loss carrybacks of existing temporary differences expected to reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized within three years limited to an amount that is no greater than 15% of current periods adjusted statutory capital and surplus, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities after considering character (i.e. ordinary versus capital) and reversal patterns. The Companys reported deferred tax asset or liability is the sum of gross deferred tax assets admitted through this three-part test plus the sum of all deferred tax liabilities.
Policy Acquisition Costs
The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, incremental costs directly related to the successful acquisition of insurance and investment contracts are deferred. For traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, acquisition costs are deferred
23
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins.
Value of Business Acquired
Under GAAP, 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 contracts and contract changes, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operation expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. VOBA is not recognized under the NAIC SAP.
Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies
Investments in subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated companies (SCA) are stated in accordance with the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the NAIC SVO, as well as SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities (SSAP No. 97).
The accounts and operations of the Companys subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP. Dividends or distributions received from an investee are recognized in investment income when declared to the extent that they are not in excess of the undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to an investee. Changes in investments in SCAs are recorded as a change to the carrying value of the investment with a corresponding amount recorded directly to unrealized gain/loss (capital and surplus).
Surplus Notes
Surplus notes are reported as surplus rather than as liabilities as would be required under GAAP.
Nonadmitted Assets
Certain assets designed as nonadmitted, primarily net deferred tax assets and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC SAP, are excluded from the accompanying Balance Sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the Balance Sheets to the extent that they are not impaired.
Statements of Cash Flow
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the Statements of Cash Flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less and money market mutual funds. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Error
The Companys policy is to disclose recent accounting pronouncements, adopted, with a current year effective date, that have been classified by the NAIC as a new statutory accounting principle (SAP) concept change, as well as items classified by the NAIC as SAP clarification changes that have been adopted and have had a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements during the period to disclose, based upon the criteria specified above.
Change in Valuation Basis
During 2022, the Company converted its Actuarial Guideline 36 reserve calculation for the Indexed Universal Life block of business to a new actuarial valuation system. At the same time, as a result of increased functionality to allow for more precision and to ensure consistency, the Company refined its statutory valuation rate for specific states to utilize the maximum standard valuation interest rate. This resulted in a reserve decrease of $641 as of January 1, 2022, which has been reported in the Statement of Changes in Capital and Surplus.
Correction of Error
During 2022, the Company identified an error in the way in which it recognized the receipt of certain affiliated distributions in prior years. This error resulted in prior periods net investment income being understated by a total of $145, with a corresponding overstatement of the change in unrealized gains/losses. This was corrected as of December 31, 2022 in accordance with SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors, with the correction reflected in the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus in other changes, offset by a corresponding change in net unrealized capital gains/losses. There was no net impact to ending capital or surplus as a result of this error in any period.
During 2020, management identified an error in the Companys prior year statutory AG38 8C cash flow testing reserves. The error resulted in an understatement of aggregate reserves for life contracts of $116 net of tax at December 31, 2019 which was corrected in accordance with SSAP No. 3 with the income correction reflected in Other changes - net in the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.
In addition to the above, there were additional balances misstated in prior year financial statement balances that have been corrected within the current year financial statements in accordance with SSAP No. 3. These do not have a material impact on the financial statements and therefore have not been separately disclosed
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior year financial statement balances and footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Determination of Fair Value
The fair values of financial instruments are determined by management after taking into consideration several sources of data. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its investments. The Companys valuation policy utilizes a pricing hierarchy which dictates that publicly available prices are initially sought from indices and third-party pricing services. In the event that pricing is not available from these sources, those securities are submitted to brokers to obtain quotes. Lastly, securities are priced using internal cash flow modeling techniques. These valuation methodologies commonly use reported trades, bids, offers, issuer spreads, benchmark yields, estimated prepayment speeds, and/or estimated cash flows.
To understand the valuation methodologies used by third-party pricing services, the Company reviews and monitors their applicable methodology documents. Any changes to their methodologies are noted and reviewed for reasonableness. In addition, the Company performs in-depth reviews of prices received from third-party pricing services on a sample basis. The objective for such reviews is to demonstrate the Company can corroborate detailed information such as assumptions, inputs and methodologies used in pricing individual securities against documented pricing methodologies. Only third-party pricing services and brokers with a substantial presence in the market and with appropriate experience and expertise are used.
Each month, the Company performs an analysis of the information obtained from indices, third-party services, and brokers to ensure the information is reasonable and produces a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors as part of this analysis, including but not limited to, recent transactional activity for similar securities, review of pricing statistics and trends, and consideration of recent relevant market events. Other controls and procedures over pricing received from indices, third-party pricing services, or brokers include validation checks such as exception reports which highlight significant price changes, stale prices or un-priced securities.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Companys financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100R, Fair Value. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An assets or a liabilitys classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
26
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date. |
| Level 2 - | Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: |
| a) | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets |
| b) | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets |
| c) | Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable |
| d) | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means |
| Level 3 - | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments is either reported at fair value or amortized cost (which approximates fair value). Cash is not included in the below tables.
Short-Term Notes Receivable from Affiliates: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair value.
Bonds and Stocks: The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. The fair values of bonds and stocks are reported or determined using the following pricing sources: indices, third-party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.
Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) actively traded are determined from third-party pricing services, which are determined as discussed above in the description of Level 1 and Level 2 values within the fair value hierarchy. For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from third-party pricing services, or are based on non-binding broker quotes or internal models. In the case of private placements, fair values are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans.

Real Estate: Real estate held for sale is typically valued utilizing independent external appraisers in conjunction with reviews by qualified internal appraisers. Valuations are primarily based on active market prices, adjusted for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. If such information is not available, other valuation methods are applied, considering the value that the propertys net earning power will support, the value indicated by recent sales of comparable properties and the current cost of reproducing or replacing the property.
Other Invested Assets: The fair values for other invested assets, which include investments in surplus notes issued by other insurance companies and fixed or variable rate investments with underlying characteristics of bonds, are determined primarily by using indices, third-party pricing services and internal models.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The fair value of futures and forwards are based upon the latest quoted market price and spot rates at the Balance Sheets date. The estimated fair values of equity and interest rate options (calls, puts, caps) are based upon the latest quoted market price at the Balance Sheets date. The estimated fair values of swaps, including equity, interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. The estimated fair values of credit default swaps are based upon active market data, including interest rate quotes, credit spreads, and recovery rates, which are then used to calculate probabilities of default for the fair value calculation. The Company accounts for derivatives that receive and pass hedge accounting in the same manner as the underlying hedged instrument. If that instrument is held at amortized cost, then the derivative is also held at amortized cost.
Policy Loans: The book value of policy loans is considered to approximate the fair value of the loan, which is stated at unpaid principal balance.
Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral: The cash collateral from securities lending is reinvested in various short-term and long-term debt instruments. The fair values of these investments are determined using the methods described above under Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments and Bonds and Stocks.
Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices when available. When not available, they are primarily valued either using third-party pricing services or are valued in the same manner as the general account assets as further described in this note. However, some separate account assets are valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data, or internal modeling which utilizes input that are not market observable. The fair value of separate account annuity liabilities is based on the account value for separate accounts business without guarantees. For separate accounts with guarantees, fair value is based on discounted cash flows.
Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair value for the Companys liabilities under investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and GICs, are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations. For those liabilities that are short in duration, carrying amount approximates fair value. For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

Deposit-Type Contracts: The carrying amounts of deposit-type contracts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate their fair values. These are included in the investment contract liabilities.
Fair values for the Companys insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts (including separate account universal life liabilities) are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Companys overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Companys exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.
The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated common stock in accordance with SSAP No. 97, as such, they are not included in the following disclosures.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
As indicated in Note 2, real estate held for sale is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company held no properties as held-for-sale, where fair value was less than its carrying value. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company held one property as held-for sale, where carrying amount of $1 and $7, respectively, was equal to fair value.
Fair value was determined by utilizing an external appraisal following the sales comparison approach. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 as the comparable sales and adjustments for the specific attributes of these properties are not market observable inputs.

The above tables exclude residential mortgage loans.
The credit quality for commercial and farm mortgage loans was determined based on an internal credit rating model which assigns a letter rating to each mortgage loan in the portfolio as an indicator of the credit quality of the mortgage loan. The internal credit rating model was designed based on rating agency methodology, then modified for credit risk associated with the Companys mortgage lending process, taking into account such factors as projected future cash flows, net operating income and collateral value. The model produces a credit rating score and an associated letter rating which is intended to align with S&P ratings as closely as possible. Information supporting the credit risk rating process is updated at least annually.
During 2022, the Company issued mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 6.05% and a minimum interest rate of 2.80% for commercial loans. The maximum percentage of any one admitted loan to the value of the security (exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages) originated or acquired during the year ending December 31, 2022 at the time of origination was 65%. During 2021, the Company issued mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 5.88% and a minimum interest rate of 2.58% for commercial loans. The maximum percentage of any one admitted loan to the value of the security (exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages) originated or acquired during the year ending December 31, 2021 at the time of origination was 81%.

The Company did not have any non-transferable state tax credits.
The Company estimated the utilization of the remaining state transferable tax credits by projecting a future tax liability based on projected premium, tax rates and tax credits, and comparing the projected future tax liability to the availability of remaining state transferable tax credits. The Company had no impairment losses related to state transferable tax credits.
Derivatives
Amounts disclosed in this Derivatives section do not include derivatives utilized in the hedging of variable annuity guarantees in accordance with SSAP No. 108. Please see the subsequent section Derivatives Hedging Variable Annuity Guarantees for results associated with those derivatives.
The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets (cash or securities) on the Companys behalf in an amount equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold based on the credit rating of the counterparty. If the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post similar assets (cash or securities). Fair value of derivative contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Fair value - positive |
$ | 409 | $ | 2,171 | ||||
| Fair value - negative |
(1,324 | ) | (2,988 | ) | ||||
At December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recorded unrealized gains (losses) of ($23), ($173) and ($334), respectively, for the component of derivative instruments utilized for
46

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
hedging purposes that did not qualify for hedge accounting. This has been recorded directly to unassigned surplus as an unrealized gain (loss). The Company did not recognize any unrealized gains or losses during 2022, 2021 and 2020 that represented the component of derivative instruments gain or loss that was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
The maximum term over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows is approximately 22 years for forecasted hedge transactions. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, none of the Companys cash flow hedges have been discontinued as it was probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has no accumulated deferred gains related to the termination of swaps that were hedging forecasted transactions. It is expected that these gains will be used as basis adjustments on future asset purchases expected to transpire throughout 2023.

As stated in Note 2, the Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds, sovereign debt, or commercial mortgage backed securities by writing credit default swaps. As a writer of credit swaps, the Company actively monitors the underlying asset, being careful to note any events (default or similar credit event) that would require the Company to perform on the credit swap. If such events would take place, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract, less any potential recoveries as determined by the underlying agreement, will be made by the Company to the counterparty to the swap.

Derivatives Hedging Variable Annuity Guarantees
The hedged obligation consists of guaranteed benefits on variable annuity contracts and resembles a long dated put option where claim payment is made whenever account value is less than a guaranteed amount, adjusted for applicable fees. Changes in interest rates impact the present value of future product cash flows (discount rate) as well as the value of investments comprising the account value to be assessed against the guarantee. Under this VM-21 compliant clearly defined hedging strategy, interest rate risk may be hedged by a duration matched portfolio of interest sensitive derivatives such as treasury bond forwards, treasury futures, interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions or treasury future options. Retroactive to January 1, 2020, the Company re-designated the portfolio of contracts giving rise to the hedged item. The re-designation will more acutely reflect alignment between hedge performance and reserve valuations pertaining to the hedged item on a forward-looking basis. Also retroactive to January 1, 2020, the Company also elected to immediately amortize the full $195 SSAP No. 108 asset balance associated with the former designated portfolio through realized loss. The Company received approval from the IID for the redesignation and application of this accounting treatment on June 26, 2020. Effective October 1, 2021 the guaranteed benefits included was expanded to include variable annuity contracts with Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit and Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit riders, excluding contracts assumed via reinsurance along with the originally included Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit and Guaranteed Minimum Account Benefit riders. The Company received approval from the IID on September 28, 2021 for the expansion of the program. Total return on the designated portfolio of derivatives remains highly effective in covering the interest rate risk (rho) of the hedged obligation. Hedge effectiveness is measured in accordance with the requirements outlined under SSAP No. 108 and
51
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
entails assessment of the total return on the designated portfolio of derivatives against changes in the fair value of the hedged obligation due to interest rate movements on a cumulative basis.
The Company accelerated the amortization of its SSAP 108 variable annuity deferred interest rate position reported on December 31, 2021. The Company fully amortized the $250 unamortized liability balance as of December 31, 2021 to zero, in 2022. The acceleration of the amortization of the SSAP 108 deferral is consistent with SSAP 108, Paragraph 14 Section c. i. that allows the accelerating of amortization of the deferral, if consistently done between deferred assets and deferred liabilities within its hedging strategy. The Company did not change any accounting practices under SSAP 108. The Companys Clearly Defined Hedge Strategy is not being revised.
Scheduled amortization for SSAP No. 108 derivatives as of December 31, 2022 is as follows:

Life Insurance Reserves
The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based upon the 1941, 1958, 1980, 2001 and 2017 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables, the 1912, 1941 and 1961 Standard Industrial Mortality Tables, the 1960 Commissioners Standard Group Mortality Table, the American Men, Actuaries and American Experience Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 0.75 to 6.50 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method or Actuarial Guideline XXXVIII. Effective July 1, 2017, term insurance issued follows Valuation Manual section 20 (VM-20) reserve requirements.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released and tabular cost have been determined by formula.
The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium for periods beyond the date of death.
Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification. Generally, reserves are determined by computing the regular reserve for the plan at the true age and holding, in addition, the unearned portion of the extra premium charge for the year. Effective July 1, 2017, for substandard term insurance policies, per VM-20 requirements, the substandard rating is applied to the reserve mortality. For certain flexible premium and fixed premium universal life insurance products, reserves are calculated utilizing the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method for universal life policies and recognizing any substandard ratings.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $39,639 and $48,379, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the IID. The Company established policy reserves of $1,506 and $1,549 to cover these deficiencies as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Participating life insurance policies were issued by the Company in prior years which entitle policyholders to a share in the earnings of the participating policies, provided that a dividend distribution, which is determined annually based on mortality and persistency experience of the participating policies, is authorized by the Company. Participating insurance constituted less than 0.05% of ordinary life insurance in force at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Annuity Reserves and Supplementary Contracts Involving Life Contingencies
Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest.
59

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 2.50 to 11.75 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.
Annuity reserves also include GICs and funding agreements classified as life-type contracts as defined in SSAP No. 50, Classifications of Insurance or Managed Care Contracts. These liabilities have annuitization options at guaranteed rates and consist of floating interest rate and fixed interest rate contracts. The contract reserves are carried at the greater of the account balance or the value as determined for an annuity with cash settlement option, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.
For variable annuities with guaranteed living benefits and variable annuities with minimum guaranteed death benefits the Company complies with VM-21. VM-21 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with benefit guarantees (VACARVM) and without benefit guarantees and related products. The VM-21 reserve calculation covers all variable annuity products. Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed payout annuity floors. The aggregate reserve for contracts falling within the scope of VM-21 is equal to the stochastic reserves plus the additional standard projection amount. During 2022, the Company established a voluntary reserve in addition to the reserve required under VM-21 to help manage volatility associated with unhedged base contract cashflows. The VA voluntary reserve totaled $507 as of December 31, 2022.
Both the stochastic reserves and the standard projection are determined as the conditional tail expectation (CTE)-70 of the scenario reserves. To determine the CTE-70 values, the Company used 1,000 of the pre-packaged scenarios developed by the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) and Society of Actuaries. The stochastic reserves uses prudent estimate assumptions based on Company experience, while the standard projection uses the assumptions prescribed in VM-21 for determining the additional standard projection amount.
Accident and Health Liabilities
Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross unearned premiums or any required mid-terminal reserves plus net unearned premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and unreported claims.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no premium deficiency reserve related to accident and health policies.
The Companys primary method utilized to estimate premium adjustments for contracts subject to redetermination is to review experience periodically and to adjust premiums for differences between the experience anticipated at the time of redetermination and that underlying the original premiums. The Company has not limited its degree of discretion contractually; however, in some states it has agreed not to raise premiums in order to recoup past losses. The Company forgoes premium changes on existing policies at its option if the administrative cost and other business issues associated with the change outweigh the direct financial impact of the change. Also, the Company has extra-contractually guaranteed the current premium scale for certain policies.

For indeterminate premium products, a full schedule of current and anticipated premium rates is developed at the point of issue. Premium rate adjustments are considered when anticipated future experience foretells deviations from the original profit standards. The source of deviation (mortality, persistency, expense, etc.) is an important consideration in the re-rating decision as well as the potential effect of a rate change on the future experience of the existing block of business.
The Company does not write any accident and health business that is subject to the Affordable Care Act risk sharing provisions.
Liabilities for losses and loss/claim adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates of liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates meeting minimum regulatory requirements for other business. Unpaid claims include amounts for losses and related adjustment expenses and are estimates of the ultimate net costs of all losses, reported and unreported. These estimates are subject to the impact of future changes in claim severity, frequency and other factors.
Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and related processing costs net of reinsurance is summarized as follows:

The change in the Companys unpaid claims reserve was ($49) and ($165) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for health claims that were incurred prior to those Balance Sheets date. The change in 2022 and 2021 was due to better than expected experience primarily due to reduced medical claims and accidental deaths.

Premium and Annuity Considerations Deferred and Uncollected
Reserves on the Companys traditional life insurance products are computed using mean and interpolated or mid-terminal reserving methodologies. The mean methodologies result in the establishment of assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be received between the policys paid-through date to the policys next anniversary date. The interpolated methodologies do not require the establishment of such assets, however, it is required to hold unearned premium liabilities. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the gross premiums and net of loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:

Deposit-type Contracts
Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies has been determined primarily by formula.
The Company issues certain funding agreements with well-defined class-based annuity purchase rates defining either specific or maximum purchase rate guarantees. However, these funding agreements are not issued to or for the benefit of an identifiable individual or group of individuals. These contracts are classified as deposit-type contracts in accordance with SSAP No. 50.
62
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
Included in the liability for deposit-type contracts at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are approximately $11 and $11, respectively, of funding agreements issued to special purpose entities in conjunction with non-recourse medium-term note programs. Under these programs, the proceeds from each note series issuance are used to purchase a funding agreement from the Company which secures that particular series of notes. In general, the payment terms of the note series match the payment terms of the funding agreement that secures that series. Claims for the principal and interest for these funding agreements are afforded equal priority as other policyholders.
Withdrawal Characteristics of Annuity Reserves and Deposit Funds
A portion of the Companys policy reserves and other policyholders funds (including separate account liabilities) relates to liabilities established on a variety of the Companys annuity, deposit fund and life products. There may be certain restrictions placed upon the amount of funds that can be withdrawn without penalty. The amount of reserves on annuity and deposit fund products, by withdrawal characteristics, is summarized as follows:

Separate Accounts
Certain separate and variable accounts held by the Company relate to individual variable life insurance policies. The benefits provided on the policies are determined by the performance and/or fair value of the investments held in the separate account. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The assets of these separate accounts are carried at fair value. The life insurance policies typically provide a guaranteed minimum death benefit.

Certain separate accounts held by the Company represent funds which are administered for pension plans. The assets consist primarily of fixed maturities and equity securities and are carried at fair value. The Company provides a minimum guaranteed return to policyholders of certain separate accounts. Certain other separate accounts do not have any minimum guarantees and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

The legal insulation of separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Companys separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $91,338 and $126,074, respectively. The assets legally insulated from general account claims at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are attributed to the following products:

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company held separate account assets not legally insulated from the general account in the amount of $156 and $14, respectively.
Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account. To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $584, $579, $565, $552 and $550, to the general account in 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 the general account of the Company had paid $56, $45, $75, $75 and $69 respectively, toward separate account guarantees.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported guaranteed separate account assets at amortized cost in the amount of $705 and $674, respectively, based upon the prescribed practice granted by the State of Iowa as described in Note 2. These assets had a fair value of $617 and $748 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which would have resulted in an unrealized gain/(loss) of $(87) and $74, respectively, had these assets been reported at fair value.
The Company does not participate in securities lending transactions within the separate account.

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company reinsures portions of the risk on certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.

On June 30, 2020, the Company, Transamerica Pacific Re, Inc. (TPRe), and Transamerica Pacific Insurance Company (TPIC) entered into a novation agreement whereby the Company consented to TPICs assignment and transfer of its rights and obligations under the universal life coinsurance agreements to TPRe. The novation resulted in no gain or loss. Also on June 30, 2020, the Company recaptured certain universal life policy risks not associated with the secondary guarantee from TPRe for consideration of $2,124 equal to the statutory reserves recaptured resulting in no gain loss and amended and restated the universal life coinsurance agreements to cede only certain universal life secondary guarantee risks to TPRe.
In January 2018, Scottish Re Group announced a sale and restructuring plan and commenced Chapter 11 (reorganization) procedures for some of its subsidiaries. In December 2018, the Delaware Department of Insurance began oversight procedures of Scottish Re (U.S.), Inc. (SRUS), with whom the Company is a counterparty for some of its reinsurance activities. SRUS was ordered into receivership for the purposes of rehabilitation on March 6, 2019. On May 16, 2019, the IID suspended the certificate of authority for SRUS but later clarified that reserve credit could be taken on reinsurance agreements entered into prior to the revocation date if a recovery analysis could be illustrated. Now, with the continued delays of the reorganization legal proceedings and with no reliable financial information being provided by the receiver or SRUS, the Company has determined it is unable to support a favorable recovery analysis. Therefore, the Company did not take statutory reserve credit and established a loss contingency allowance for doubtful recoveries of billed and unbilled claims in its December 31, 2022 financial statements. The impact was a $125 charge reported in the Statements of Operations.

As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), the Companys tax reserve deductible temporary difference decreased by ($396). This change results in an offsetting $396 deductible temporary difference that will be amortized into taxable income evenly over the eight years subsequent to 2017. The remaining amortizable balance is included within the Policyholder Reserves line items above.
At December 31, 2022, the Company recorded no valuation allowance. The Companys valuation allowance decreased by ($11) in 2022 from adjustments to prior year tax returns which reduced the Companys foreign tax credit carryover as of 2022. Additionally, the Company expects an increase in future foreign source income driven by a 2022 reinsurance transaction increasing its ability to utilize its foreign tax credit carryovers.
The Inflation Reduction Act was enacted during the third quarter reporting period on August 16, 2022. The act included a provision which subjects high earning corporate taxpayers to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT). The Company is part of an affiliated group that has not determined if it will be liable for CAMT in 2023 and has not included any estimated impacts of the CAMT in the financial statements, due to the inability to create a reasonable estimate, as of December 31, 2022.
As discussed in Note 2, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company admits deferred income tax assets pursuant to SSAP No. 101. The amount of admitted adjusted gross deferred income tax assets under each component of SSAP No. 101 is as follows:

The Companys federal income tax return is consolidated with other includible affiliated companies. Please see the listing of companies in Appendix A. The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement. Under the terms of the tax allocation agreement, allocations are based on separate income tax return calculations. The Company is entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the future losses and credits reduce the greater of the Companys separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated groups income tax liability in the year generated. The Company is also entitled to recoup federal

14. Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has mortgage loan commitments of $110 and $284, respectively.
The Company has contingent commitments of $1,038 and $832, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to provide additional funding for joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies, which includes LIHTC commitments of $4 and $21, respectively.
The Company leases office buildings and equipment under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Rental expense for the years 2022 and 2021 was $13 and $22, respectively.
Private placement commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $141 and $174, respectively.
The Company sold ($63) and ($26) of to-be-announced (TBA) securities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Due to different counterparties, the receivable related to these TBAs was not reclassed.
The Company may pledge cash as collateral for derivative transactions. When cash is pledged as collateral, it is derecognized and a receivable is recorded to reflect the eventual return of that cash by the counterparty. The amount of cash collateral pledged by the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was $981 and $217.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, securities in the amount of $27 and $76, respectively, were posted to the Company as collateral from derivative counterparties. The securities were not included on the Companys Balance Sheets as the Company does not have the ability to sell or repledge the collateral.
The Company has provided back-stop guarantees for the performance of non-insurance affiliates or subsidiaries that are involved in the guaranteed sale of investments in low-income housing tax credit partnerships. The nature of the obligation is to provide third party investors with a minimum guaranteed annual and cumulative return on their contributed capital which is based on tax credits and tax losses generated from the low income housing tax credit partnerships. Guarantee payments arise if low income housing tax credit partnerships experience unexpected significant decreases in tax credits and tax losses or there are compliance issues with the partnerships. A significant portion of the remaining term of the guarantees is between 13-18 years. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Companys financial statements as a decrease in net investment income. No payments are required as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The current assessment of risk of making payments under these guarantees is remote.
The Company has guaranteed to the Hong Kong Insurance Authority that it will provide the financial support to TLB for maintaining TLBs solvency at all times so as to enable TLB to promptly meet its obligations and liabilities. If at any time the value of TLBs assets do not exceed its liabilities by the prevailing acceptable level of solvency, the Company will increase the paid up share capital of TLB or provide financial assistance to TLB to maintain the acceptable level of solvency. An acceptable level of solvency is net assets at one hundred and fifty percent of
97
Transamerica Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
the required margin of solvency as stipulated under the Insurance Companies (Margin of Solvency) Regulation. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is able to meet its obligations and has assets in excess of its liabilities by the prevailing level of solvency as of this date.
The Company has guaranteed that TLB will (1) maintain tangible net worth of at least equal to the greater of 165% of Standard & Poors Risk-Based Capital and the minimum required by regulatory authorities in all jurisdictions in which TLB operates, (2) have, at all times, sufficient cash to pay all contractual obligations in a timely manner and (3) have a maximum operating leverage ratio of 20 times. The Company can terminate this agreement upon thirty days written notice, but not until TLB attains a rating from Standard & Poors the same as without the support from this agreement, or the entire book of TLB business is transferred provided that it is transferred to an entity with a rating from S&P that is the same as or better than the Companys then current rating or AA, whichever is lower. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB has adequate tangible net worth, sufficient cash to meet its obligations and an operating leverage ratio not in excess of 20 times as of this date.
The Company is not able to estimate the financial statement impact or the maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under these two guarantees as they are considered to be unlimited under the provisions of SSAP No. 5R.
The Company has provided a guarantee to TLBs (Singapore Branch) policyholders. If TLB fails to pay a valid claim solely by reason of it becoming insolvent as defined by Bermuda law, then the Company shall pay directly to the policy owner or named beneficiary the amount of the valid claim. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, TLB holds related statutory-basis policy and claim reserves of $55 and $2,328, respectively, which would be the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this guarantee. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Companys financial statements as an increase to incurred claims. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is not insolvent as of this date.
The Company has provided a guarantee to TLBs (Hong Kong Branch) policyholders. If TLB fails to pay a valid claim solely by reason of it becoming insolvent as defined by Bermuda law, then the Company shall pay directly to the policy owner or named beneficiary the amount of the valid claim. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, TLB policies covered by this guarantee would have resulted in US statutory policy and claim reserves of $125 and $3,504, respectively, which would represent a fair measure of the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company under this guarantee based on the US statutory reserve requirements. TLB is a subsidiary of the Company and TLB has invested assets supporting these policies which mitigates this risk. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Companys financial statements as an increase to incurred claims. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is not insolvent as of this date.
The Company did not recognize a liability for any of the TLB guarantees due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R, as a liability is not required for guarantees to or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary. Management monitors TLBs financial condition, and there are no indications that

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
TLB will become insolvent. As such, management feels the risk of payment under these guarantees on behalf of TLB is remote.
The Company is a party to a fee agreement with TLB whereby the Company continues to provide the guarantees with respect to TLB described in the paragraphs above. The Company received $1 and $1 under this agreement in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company has provided guarantees for the obligations of noninsurance third party assignment companies who have accepted assignments of structured settlement payment obligations from the Company and have purchased structured settlement insurance policies issued by the Company that match those obligations. The guarantees made by the Company are specific to each structured settlement contract and vary in date and duration of the obligation. These are numerous and are backed by the reserves established by the Company to represent the present value of the future payments for those contracts. The direct statutory reserve established at December 31, 2022 and 2021 for the total payout block is $4,880 and $4,990, respectively. As this reserve is already recorded on the Balance Sheets of the Company, there was no additional liability recorded due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R.
During 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Aegon USA Realty Advisors, LLC to commit to purchase certain tax credit investments up to a maximum of $100,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company provides certain commitments to purchase tax credit investments that are part of tax credit funds in the event certain conditions are met. The Company did not acquire any tax credit investments during 2022 or 2021 under this agreement. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is no amount committed to these purchases.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the borrowings from the FHLB were not subject to prepayment penalties.
The Company has issued synthetic GIC contracts to benefit plan sponsors totaling $55,298 and $53,440 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A synthetic GIC is an off-balance sheet fee-based product sold primarily to tax qualified plans, where the plan sponsor retains ownership and control of the related plan assets and the Company provides book value benefit responsiveness to qualified participant withdrawals, in the event withdrawals requested exceeds plan cash flows. In certain contracts, the Company agrees to make advances to meet benefit withdrawal needs and earns a market interest rate on these advances. A periodically adjusted contract-crediting rate is a means by which investment and benefit responsiveness experience is passed through to participants. In return for the book value benefit responsiveness guarantee, the Company receives a premium that varies based on such elements as benefit responsiveness exposure and contract size. The Company underwrites the plans for the possibility of having to make benefit payments and also must agree to the investment guidelines ensuring the appropriate credit quality and cash flow. Funding requirements to date have been minimal and management does not anticipate any future material funding requirements to have a material impact on the reported financial results. In compliance with statutory guidelines, related reserves of $10 and $0 were recorded at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company is party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business, including class action lawsuits. Lawsuits may be brought in any federal or state court in the United States or in an arbitral forum. In addition, there continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies. The Companys legal proceedings are subject to many variables, and given their complexity and scope, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Although legal proceedings sometimes includes substantial
101

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
demands for compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, damages arising from such demands are typically not material to the Companys financial position.
The Company had been named in two class actions, as well as several individual lawsuits, relating to increases in monthly deduction rates (MDR) on universal life products. The Company settled the two class actions, one in January 2019 and one in April 2020. In connection with the class actions, the Company continues to defend against lawsuits by opt out class members. In October 2022, the Company was named in a putative class action relating to rolling MDR increases initiated in 2022 and continuing on a rolling basis. The Company held provisions totaling $53 and $69 for these lawsuits as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company, except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Companys Balance Sheets. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Company has established a reserve of $8 and $8 and an offsetting premium tax benefit $6 and $6 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund (benefit) expense was $3 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
15. Sales, Transfer, and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities
The Company is party to municipal repurchase agreements which were established via bilateral trades and accounted for as secured borrowings. For municipal repurchase agreements, the Company rigorously manages asset/liability risks via an integrated risk management framework. The Companys liquidity position is monitored constantly, and factors heavily in the management of the asset portfolio. Projections comparing liquidity needs to available resources in both adverse and routine scenarios are refreshed monthly. The results of these projections on time horizons ranging from 16 months to 24 months are the basis for the near-term liquidity planning. This liquidity model excludes new business (non applicable for the spread business), renewals and other sources of cash and assumes all liabilities are paid off on the earliest dates required. Interest rate risk is carefully managed, in part through rigorously defined and monitored derivatives programs.

The reconciling differences to the Annual Statement for 2020 is driven by elimination of affiliated activity for the merged entities in 2020.
The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the Balance Sheets date and the date when the financial statements are available to be issued, provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the Balance Sheets date (Type I). The Company has not identified any Type 1 subsequent events for the year ended December 31, 2022 through April 19, 2023.
Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the Balance Sheets dates are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves (Type II). The Company has identified a Type II subsequent event for the year ended December 31, 2022. On January 6, 2023, the Company repaid advances of $252 and $323 to FHLB of Des Moines. On January 11, 2023, the Company repaid a net of $133 for multiple advances to the FHLB of Des Moines. The pay down of these FHLB advances reduces the amount borrowed from FHLB to approximately $2,300 in aggregate.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying statutory basis financial statements of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets statutory basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations - statutory basis, of changes in capital and surplus - statutory basis, and of cash flow - statutory basis for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes and schedules of supplementary insurance information and reinsurance for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and summary of investments other than investments in related parties as of December 31, 2022 listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services described in Note 2.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the accompanying financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, One North Wacker, Chicago, IL 60606
T: (312) 298 2000, www.pwc.com/us
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services. Management is also responsible for 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.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
| | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Companys internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
| | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. |
| | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

December 31, 2022
| 1. | Organization and Nature of Business |
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company owned by Transamerica Corporation (TA Corp). TA Corp is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegon N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.
Nature of Business
The Company sells individual life insurance, including index universal life, whole life, term life, and final expense life. It also sells variable annuities. In addition, the Company offers supplemental health insurance, group life insurance, group annuity contracts and stable value solutions. The Company is licensed in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Sales of the Companys products are primarily through a network of independent agents and broker-dealers, affiliated agencies, and financial institutions.
| 2. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The NYDFS recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of New York for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the New York Insurance Law. The Commissioner of Insurance has the right to permit specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.
The State of New York has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP) related to the reported value of the assets supporting the Companys guaranteed separate accounts. As prescribed by Section 1414 of the New York Insurance Law, the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to value the assets of the guaranteed separate account at amortized cost, whereas the assets would be required to be reported at fair value under Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 56, Separate Accounts, of the NAIC SAP. There is no impact to the Companys income or surplus as a result of utilizing this prescribed practice.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
The effects of the following variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material. Significant accounting policies and variances from GAAP are as follows:
Investments
Investments in bonds, except those to which the Securities Valuation Office (SVO) of the NAIC has ascribed a NAIC designation of 6, are reported at amortized cost using the interest method. Bonds containing call provisions, except make-whole call provisions, are amortized to the call or maturity value/date which produces the lowest asset value, often referred to as yield-to-worst method. Bonds ascribed a NAIC designation of 6 are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in changes in capital and surplus. Prepayment penalty or acceleration fees received in the event a bond is liquidated prior to its scheduled termination date are reported as investment income.
Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuers senior note holders. These securities meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26R, Bonds, and therefore, are reported at amortized cost or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.
For GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in earnings for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) for those designated as available-for-sale.
Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method, including anticipated prepayments, except for those with an initial NAIC designation of 6, which are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. These securities are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium using either the retrospective or prospective methods. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. For statutory reporting, the retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities, which are valued using the prospective method.
For GAAP, all securities purchased or retained that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets, other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.
The Company closely monitors below investment grade holdings and investment grade issuers where the Company has concerns to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) has occurred. The Company also regularly monitors industry sectors. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary including: (1) the probability of the Company collecting all amounts due according to the
9
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
contractual terms of the security in effect at the date of acquisition; (2) the Companys decision to sell a security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying amount; and (3) the Companys ability to hold a structured security for a period of time to allow for recovery of the value to its carrying amount. Additionally, financial condition, near term prospects of the issuer and nationally recognized credit rating changes are monitored. Non-structured securities in unrealized loss positions that are considered other-than-temporary are written down to fair value. The Company will record a charge to the Statements of Operations for the amount of the impairment.
For structured securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored. An OTTI is considered to have occurred if the fair value of the structured security is less than its amortized cost basis and the entity intends to sell the security or the entity does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. An OTTI is also considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security and the security is in an unrealized loss position. Structured securities considered other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to discounted estimated cash flows if the impairment is the result of cash flow analysis. If the Company has an intent to sell or lack of ability to hold a structured security, it is written down to fair value. The Company will record a charge to the Statements of Operations for the amount of the impairments.
For GAAP, if it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary and the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment date. If the entity does not intend to sell the security or the entity will likely not be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI should be separated into a) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and b) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in OCI, net of applicable taxes.
Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated redeemable preferred stocks in good standing (those with NAIC designations 1 to 3), are reported at cost or amortized cost, depending on the characteristics of the securities. Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated redeemable preferred stocks not in good standing (those with NAIC designations 4 to 6), are reported at the lower of cost, amortized cost, or fair value, depending on the characteristics of the securities. Investment in perpetual preferred stocks are reported at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price. Investment in mandatory convertible preferred stocks (regardless if the preferred stock is redeemable or perpetual) are reported at fair value, not to exceed any currently effective call price, in the periods prior to conversion. For preferred stocks reported at fair value, the related net unrealized capital gains and losses for all NAIC designations are reported in accordance with SSAP No. 7, Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve.
Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity. The net change in the subsidiaries equity is included in net unrealized capital gains or losses and are reported in changes in capital and surplus.
10
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
The Company owns stock issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), which is only redeemable at par, and its fair value is presumed to be par, unless other-than-temporarily impaired.
If the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a common stock or a preferred stock is other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the Statements of Operations. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer; (b) whether or not the Company has made a decision to sell the investment; and (c) the length of time and extent to which the value has been below cost.
Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized. Prepayment penalty or acceleration fees received in the event a loan is liquidated prior to its scheduled termination date are reported as investment income.
Valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans, if necessary, based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.
The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus as part of the change in asset valuation reserve (AVR), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.
The Company has interests in joint ventures and limited partnerships. The Company carries these investments based on its interest in the underlying GAAP equity of the investee.
For a decline in the fair value of an investment in a joint venture or limited partnership which is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the Statements of Operations. The Company considers an impairment to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the investment or if there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings which would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties are valued at amortized cost. Tax credits are recognized in operations in the tax reporting year in which the tax credit is utilized by the Company. The carrying value is amortized over the life of the investment. Amortization is calculated as a ratio of the current year tax credits and tax benefits compared to the total expected tax credits and tax benefits over the life of the investment.
11
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less (principally stated at amortized cost) or money market mutual funds which are reported at fair value.
Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.
Other invested assets consist of surplus notes which are valued at cost, as required or permitted by New York Insurance Laws.
Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.
Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts of bonds, mortgage loans, common and preferred stocks are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Income is also not accrued when collection is uncertain. Due and accrued amounts determined to be uncollectible are written off through the Statements of Operations.
Valuation Reserves
Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, primarily bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals into net investment income over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. The net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying Balance Sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.
The AVR provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by a NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.
Derivative Instruments
Overview: The Company uses various derivative instruments (swaps and futures) to manage risks related to its ongoing business operations. On the transaction date of the derivative instrument, the Company designates the derivative as either (A) hedging (fair value, foreign currency fair value, cash flow, foreign currency cash flow, forecasted transactions, or net investment in a foreign operation), (B) replication, (C) income generation, or (D) held for other investment/risk
12

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
management activities, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86, Derivatives.
| (A) | Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability (amortized cost or fair value). Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and the risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value. |
| (B) | Derivative instruments are also used in replication (synthetic asset) transactions (RSAT). A replication transaction is a derivative transaction entered into in conjunction with a cash instrument to reproduce the investment characteristics of an otherwise permissible investment. In these transactions, the derivative is accounted for in a manner consistent with the cash instrument and replicated asset. For GAAP, the derivative is reported at fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in income. |
| (C) | Derivative instruments used in income generation relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the associated covered asset or underlying interest to which the derivative relates (amortized cost or fair value). |
| (D) | Derivative instruments held for other investment/risk management activities are measured at fair value with value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. |
Derivative instruments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make the instruments less valuable. The Company uses derivatives as hedges, consequently, when the value of the hedged asset or liability changes, the value of the hedging derivative is expected to move in the opposite direction. Market risk is a consideration when changes in the value of the derivative and the hedged item do not completely offset (correlation or basis risk) which is mitigated by active measuring and monitoring.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit rating of BBB or better. The credit exposure of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is represented by the fair value of contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value at the reporting date. The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Companys behalf. The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating
13
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
of the counterparty. Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post assets instead.
Instruments:
Interest rate swaps are the primary derivative financial instruments used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset or liability. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed and floating rate amounts based on an underlying notional amount. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds equal to the fair value of the contract are exchanged. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.
Cross currency swaps are utilized to mitigate risks when the Company holds foreign denominated assets or liabilities; therefore, converting the asset or liability to a U.S. dollar denominated security. These cross currency swap agreements involve the exchange of two principal amounts in two different currencies at the prevailing currency rate at contract inception. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a pre-determined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually where the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the hedged instrument. For swaps qualifying for hedge accounting, the premium or discount is amortized into income over the life of the contract and the foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain/loss in capital and surplus. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus. If a swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment.
Total return swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the market risk on minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These total return swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed leg (tied to the Standard & Poors (S&P) or other global market financial index) and floating leg (tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)) amounts based on an underlying notional amount (also tied to the underlying index). Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, in the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus.
Futures contracts are used to hedge the liability risk when the Company issues products providing the customer a return based on various global market indices. Futures are marked to market on a

daily basis whereby a cash payment is made or received by the Company. These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements.
The Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds or sovereign debt by combining a highly rated security as a cash component with a written credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into an investment grade corporate asset or a sovereign debt. The benefits of using the swap market to replicate credit include possible enhanced relative values as well as ease of executing larger transactions in a shortened time frame. Generally, a premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income. In the event the representative issuer defaults on its debt obligation referenced in the contract, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss.
Securities Lending Assets and Liabilities
The Company loans securities to third parties under agent-managed securities lending programs accounted for as secured borrowings. Cash collateral received which may be sold or repledged by the Company is reflected as a one-line entry on the Balance Sheets (Securities lending reinvested collateral assets) and a corresponding liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral. Non-cash collateral received which may not be sold or repledged is not recorded on the Companys Balance Sheets. Under GAAP, the reinvested collateral is included within invested assets and is not reported as a single line item.
Repurchase Agreements
For dollar repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities transferred by the Company in the transaction as of the transaction date. The securities transferred are not removed from the Balance Sheets, and the cash received as collateral is invested as needed or used for general corporate purposes of the Company. A liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral and included in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets.
Other Assets and Other Liabilities
Other assets consist primarily of reinsurance receivable, accounts receivable and general insurance receivables. Other admitted assets are valued principally at cost, as required or permitted by New York Insurance Laws.
Other liabilities consist primarily of remittances, payable for securities, payable to parent, subsidiaries and affiliates and amounts withheld by the Company.
Separate Accounts
The majority of separate accounts held by the Company represent funds which are administered for pension plans. The assets in the managed separate accounts consist of common stock, long-term bonds, real estate and short-term investments. The non-managed separate accounts are invested by the Company in a corresponding portfolio of Diversified Investors Portfolios. The
15
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
portfolios are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-ended, diversified, management investment companies.
Except for some guaranteed separate accounts, which are carried at amortized cost, the assets are carried at fair value, and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder. Some of the guaranteed separate accounts provide a guarantee of principal and some include an interest guarantee of 4% or less, so long as the contract is in effect. Separate account asset performance less than guaranteed requirements is transferred from the general account and reported in the Statements of Operations.
Assets held in trust for purchases of separate account contracts and the Companys corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the Balance Sheets. Income and gains and losses with respect to these assets accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements.
The investment risks associated with fair value changes of the separate account are borne entirely by the contract owners except in cases where minimum guarantees exist. Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts supporting modified guaranteed annuity contracts are included in the Companys Statements of Operations as a component of net transfers from separate accounts.
Separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying financial statements consist of two types: non-indexed guaranteed and nonguaranteed. Non-indexed guaranteed separate accounts represent funds invested by the Company for the benefit of contract holders who are guaranteed certain returns as specified in the contracts. Separate account asset performance different than the guaranteed requirements is either transferred to or received from the general account and reported in the Statements of Operations. Non-indexed guaranteed separate account assets and liabilities are carried at amortized cost.
The non-guaranteed separate account assets and liabilities represent group annuity funds segregated by the Company for the benefit of contract owners. The assets and liabilities of the nonguaranteed separate accounts are carried at fair value.
Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts
Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are calculated by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed cash value, or the amount required by law.
Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves. For annual premium variable life insurance there is an extra premium charged to the policyholder before the premium is transferred to the Separate Accounts. An additional reserve for this policy is held in the General Account that is a multiple of the reserve that would otherwise be held.

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
In accordance with SSAP No. 51R, Life Contracts, and No. 54R, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts, the Company reports the amount of insurance, if any, for which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the valuation standards and any related premium deficiency reserve established. Anticipated investment income is included as a factor in the health contract premium deficiency calculation.
For GAAP, policy reserves are calculated based on estimated expected experience or actual account balances.
Policy and Contract Claim Reserves
Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the Balance Sheets date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes available.
Deposit-Type Contracts
Deposit-type contracts do not incorporate risk from the death or disability of policyholders. These types of contracts may include guaranteed investment contracts (GICs), funding agreements and other annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance and are not reported as premiums, benefits or changes in reserves in the Statements of Operations. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits.
Premiums and Annuity Considerations
Revenues for life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability using deposit accounting.
Policyholder Dividends
Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies as would be required under GAAP.
Reinsurance
Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original
17
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of in force blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and amortized into income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively. Policy liabilities and accruals are reported in the accompanying financial statements net of reinsurance ceded.
Any reinsurance amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations. In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances would be established for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.
Losses associated with an indemnity reinsurance transaction are reported within income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the underlying reinsured contracts as would be required under GAAP.
Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP.
Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.
Under GAAP, for certain reinsurance agreements whereby assets are retained by the ceding insurer (such as funds withheld or modified coinsurance) and a return is paid based on the performance of underlying investments, the assets and liabilities for these reinsurance arrangements must be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the invested assets. The NAIC SAP does not contain a similar requirement.
Deferred Income Taxes
The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes. Unlike GAAP, SSAP No. 101 does not consider state income taxes in the measurement of deferred taxes. SSAP No. 101 also requires additional testing to measure gross deferred tax assets. The additional testing limits gross deferred tax asset admission to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years recoverable through hypothetical loss carrybacks of existing temporary differences expected to reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized within three years limited to an amount that is no greater than 15% of current periods adjusted statutory capital and surplus, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities after considering character (i.e. ordinary versus capital) and reversal patterns. The Companys reported deferred tax asset or liability is the sum of gross deferred tax assets admitted through this three-part test plus the sum of all deferred tax liabilities.

Policy Acquisition Costs
The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, incremental costs directly related to the successful acquisition of insurance and investment contracts are deferred. For traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves. For universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins.
Value of Business Acquired
Under GAAP, 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 contracts and contract changes, premiums, mortality and morbidity, separate account performance, surrenders, operation expenses, investment returns, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors. VOBA is not recognized under the NAIC SAP.
Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies
Investments in subsidiaries, controlled and affiliated companies (SCA) are stated in accordance with the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the NAIC SVO, as well as SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities (SSAP No. 97).
The accounts and operations of the Companys subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP. Dividends or distributions received from an investee are recognized in investment income when declared to the extent that they are not in excess of the undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to an investee. Changes in investments in SCAs are recorded as a change to the carrying value of the investment with a corresponding amount recorded directly to unrealized gain/loss (capital and surplus).
Nonadmitted Assets
Certain assets designed as nonadmitted, primarily net deferred tax assets and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC SAP, are excluded from the accompanying Balance Sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the Balance Sheets to the extent that they are not impaired.
Statements of Cash Flow
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the Statements of Cash Flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less and money market mutual

funds. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Error
The Companys policy is to disclose recent accounting pronouncements, adopted, with a current year effective date, that have been classified by the NAIC as a new statutory accounting principle (SAP) concept change, as well as items classified by the NAIC as SAP clarification changes that have been adopted and have had a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements during the period to disclose, based upon the criteria specified above.
Change in Valuation Basis
During 2022, the Company converted its Actuarial Guideline 36 reserve calculation for the Indexed Universal Life block of business to a new actuarial valuation system. At the same time, as a result of increased functionality to allow for more precision and to ensure consistency, the Company refined its statutory valuation rate for specific states to utilize the maximum standard valuation interest rate. This resulted in a reserve decrease of $51 as of January 1, 2022, which has been reported in the Statement of Changes in Capital and Surplus.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company has adopted the new rules released by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) determining the minimum required reserves for Variable Annuities (VA) under Insurance Regulation 213 (Reg 213). This new rule replaces New York Regulation 151 that was the basis for reporting through September 30, 2020. The approved transition approach will not result in adjustment to the Companys historical statutory reporting or existing balances at the time of transition. The Company has reported the decrease to the reserve of $129 as a Change in Valuation Basis recognized as a change in surplus. The full amount of the change was reported in the 2020 financial statements. As of the date of transition, the Company is fully compliant with the provisions of Reg 213.
Correction of Error
During 2022, management identified and corrected an error in the Companys prior year statutory reserves. The error resulted in an understatement of aggregate reserves for life contracts of $16, net of tax, which was corrected in accordance with SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors. This is reflected as a correction of an error in the Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Determination of Fair Value
The fair values of financial instruments are determined by management after taking into consideration several sources of data. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its investments. The Companys valuation policy utilizes a pricing hierarchy which dictates that publicly available prices are initially sought from indices and third-party pricing services. In the event that pricing is not available from these sources, those securities are submitted to brokers to obtain quotes. Lastly, securities are priced using internal cash flow modeling techniques. These valuation methodologies commonly use reported trades, bids, offers, issuer spreads, benchmark yields, estimated prepayment speeds, and/or estimated cash flows.
To understand the valuation methodologies used by third-party pricing services, the Company reviews and monitors their applicable methodology documents. Any changes to their methodologies are noted and reviewed for reasonableness. In addition, the Company performs in-depth reviews of prices received from third-party pricing services on a sample basis. The objective for such reviews is to demonstrate the Company can corroborate detailed information such as assumptions, inputs and methodologies used in pricing individual securities against documented pricing methodologies. Only third-party pricing services and brokers with a substantial presence in the market and with appropriate experience and expertise are used.
Each month, the Company performs an analysis of the information obtained from indices, third-party services, and brokers to ensure the information is reasonable and produces a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors as part of this analysis, including but not limited to, recent transactional activity for similar securities, review of pricing statistics and trends, and consideration of recent relevant market events. Other controls and procedures over pricing received from indices, third-party pricing services, or brokers include validation checks such as exception reports which highlight significant price changes, stale prices or un-priced securities.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Companys financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100R, Fair Value. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An assets or a liabilitys classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
21
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date. |
| Level 2 - | Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: |
| a) | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets |
| b) | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets |
| c) | Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable |
| d) | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means |
| Level 3 - | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments is either reported at fair value or amortized cost (which approximates fair value). Cash is not included in the below tables.
Short-Term Notes Receivable from Affiliates: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair value.
Bonds and Stocks: The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. The fair values of bonds and stocks are reported or determined using the following pricing sources: indices, third-party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.
Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) actively traded are determined from third-party pricing services, which are determined as discussed above in the description of Level 1 and Level 2 values within the fair value hierarchy. For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from third-party pricing services, or are based on non-binding broker quotes or internal models. In the case of private placements, fair values are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.
Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans.
22
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
Other Invested Assets: The fair values for other invested assets, which include investments in surplus notes issued by other insurance companies and fixed or variable rate investments with underlying characteristics of bonds, are determined primarily by using indices, third-party pricing services and internal models.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The fair value of futures and forwards are based upon the latest quoted market price and spot rates at the Balance Sheets date. The estimated fair values of equity and interest rate options (calls, puts, caps) are based upon the latest quoted market price at the Balance Sheets date. The estimated fair values of swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. The estimated fair values of credit default swaps are based upon active market data, including interest rate quotes, credit spreads, and recovery rates, which are then used to calculate probabilities of default for the fair value calculation. The Company accounts for derivatives that receive and pass hedge accounting in the same manner as the underlying hedged instrument. If that instrument is held at amortized cost, then the derivative is also held at amortized cost.
Policy Loans: The book value of policy loans is considered to approximate the fair value of the loan, which is stated at unpaid principal balance.
Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral: The cash collateral from securities lending is reinvested in various short-term and long-term debt instruments. The fair values of these investments are determined using the methods described above under Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments and Bonds and Stocks.
Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices when available. When not available, they are primarily valued either using third-party pricing services or are valued in the same manner as the general account assets as further described in this note. However, some separate account assets are valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data, or internal modeling which utilizes input that are not market observable. The fair value of separate account annuity liabilities is based on the account value for separate accounts business without guarantees. For separate accounts with guarantees, fair value is based on discounted cash flows.
Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair value for the Companys liabilities under investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and GICs, are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations. For those liabilities that are short in duration, carrying amount approximates fair value. For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.
Deposit-Type Contracts: The carrying amounts of deposit-type contracts reported in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate their fair values. These are included in the investment contract liabilities.
Fair values for the Companys insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts (including separate account universal life liabilities) are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Companys overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Companys exposure to changing interest
23

(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.
The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated common stock in accordance with SSAP No. 97, as such, they are not included in the following disclosures.
The following tables set forth a comparison of the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments, including those not measured at fair value in the Balance Sheets, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

The credit quality for commercial and farm mortgage loans was determined based on an internal credit rating model which assigns a letter rating to each mortgage loan in the portfolio as an indicator of the credit quality of the mortgage loan. The internal credit rating model was designed based on rating agency methodology, then modified for credit risk associated with the Companys mortgage lending process, taking into account such factors as projected future cash flows, net operating income and collateral value. The model produces a credit rating score and an associated letter rating which is intended to align with S&P ratings as closely as possible. Information supporting the credit risk rating process is updated at least annually.
During 2022, the Company issued mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 5.69% and a minimum interest rate of 2.81% for commercial loans. The maximum percentage of any one admitted loan to the value of the security (exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages) originated or acquired during the year ending December 31, 2022 at the time of origination was 67%. During 2021, the Company issued mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 5.56% and a minimum interest rate of 2.58% for commercial loans. The maximum percentage of any one admitted loan to the value of the security (exclusive of insured or guaranteed or purchase money mortgages) originated or acquired during the year ending December 31, 2021 at the time of origination was 69%.
During 2022, the Company issued no farm mortgage loans. During 2021, the Company issued agricultural mortgage loans with a maximum interest rate of 4.45% and a minimum interest rate of 4.45%.

Derivatives
The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets (cash or securities) on the Companys behalf in an amount equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold based on the credit rating of the counterparty. If the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post similar assets (cash or securities). Fair value of derivative contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
|
|
|
| ||||||
| Fair value - positive |

As stated in Note 2, the Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds and sovereign debt by writing credit default swaps. As a writer of credit swaps, the Company actively monitors the underlying asset, being careful to note any events (default or similar credit event) that would require the Company to perform on the credit swap. If such events would take place, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract, less any potential recoveries as determined by the underlying agreement, will be made by the Company to the counterparty to the swap.

Life Insurance Reserves
The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based upon the 1941, 1958, 1980, 2001 and 2017 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 7.25 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method. Reserves for
44
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements Statutory Basis
(Dollars in Millions, Except per Share amounts)
universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released and tabular cost have been determined by formula.
The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium for periods beyond the date of death.
Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification. Generally, reserves are determined by computing the regular reserve for the plan at the true age and holding, in addition, the unearned portion of the extra premium charge for the year. For certain flexible premium and fixed premium universal life insurance products, reserves are calculated utilizing the Commissioners Reserve Valuation Method for universal life policies and recognizing any substandard ratings.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $5,812 and $6,920, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the NYDFS. The Company established policy reserves of $717 and $807 to cover these deficiencies as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company does not issue participating life insurance policies.
Annuity Reserves and Supplementary Contracts Involving Life Contingencies
Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest.
Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 1.00 to 11.25 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.
Annuity reserves also include GICs and funding agreements classified as life-type contracts as defined in SSAP No. 50, Classifications of Insurance or Managed Care Contracts. These liabilities have annuitization options at guaranteed rates and consist of floating interest rate and fixed interest rate contracts. The contract reserves are carried at the greater of the account balance or the value as determined for an annuity with cash settlement option, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.
For variable annuities with guaranteed living benefits and/or minimum guaranteed death benefits, the Company complies with Reg 213. Reg 213 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts (VACARVM) with benefit guarantees and without benefit guarantees and related products. Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed payout annuity floors. The Reg 213

reserve calculations include standard scenario calculations from the prior Actuarial Guideline 43 (AG 43) as well as reserve requirements based on the NAIC Valuation Manual Section 21 (VM-21) Principles Based Reserving for Variable Annuities. The reserve for contracts falling within the scope of Reg 213 is split into pre and post January 1, 2020 contract issues and is calculated at a contract level with no aggregation. For pre 2020 business, the reserve is the greater of the VM-21 reserve or the modified AG 43 standard scenario reserve. For post 2020 business, the reserve is the greater of the VM-21 reserve and the New York Objective Floor; the New York Objective Floor is the maximum of two distinct modified AG 43 standard scenario reserves, the cash surrender value and the option value floor.
The VM-21 reserve is equal to the Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) amount plus an additional standard projection amount if the Companys non-economic assumptions differ enough from industry assumptions. To determine the CTE amount, the Company uses 1,000 of the pre-packaged scenarios developed by the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) and the Society of Actuaries and prudent estimate assumptions based on Company experience. The Standard Projection Amount is determined using the same CTE calculations but replaces the Companys own assumptions with prescribed assumptions and methods specified in VM-21.
Accident and Health Liabilities
Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross unearned premiums or any required mid-terminal reserves plus net unearned premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and unreported claims.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no premium deficiency reserve related to accident and health policies.
Liabilities for losses and loss/claim adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates of liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates meeting minimum regulatory requirements for other business. Unpaid claims include amounts for losses and related adjustment expenses and are estimates of the ultimate net costs of all losses, reported and unreported. These estimates are subject to the impact of future changes in claim severity, frequency and other factors.

The change in the Companys unpaid claims reserve was $7 and $6 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for health claims that were incurred prior to those Balance Sheets date. The change in 2022 and 2021 resulted primarily from variances in the estimated frequency of claims and claim severity.

Premium and Annuity Considerations Deferred and Uncollected
Reserves on the Companys traditional life insurance products are computed using mean and interpolated or mid-terminal reserving methodologies. The mean methodologies result in the establishment of assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be received between the policys paid-through date to the policys next anniversary date. The interpolated methodologies do not require the establishment of such assets, however, it is required to hold unearned premium liabilities. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the gross premiums and net of loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company held separate account assets not legally insulated from the general account in the amount of $21 and $22, respectively.
Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account. To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $51, $53, $52, $51 and $51, to the general account in 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the general account of the Company had paid $2 toward separate account guarantees and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the general account of the Company had paid an insignificant amount toward separate account guarantees. During the years 2020 through 2018, the general account of the Company had paid $1 each year toward separate account guarantees.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported guaranteed separate account assets at amortized cost in the amount of $470 and $540, respectively, based upon the prescribed practice granted by the State of New York as described in Note 2. These assets had a fair value of $442 and $542 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which would have resulted in an unrealized gain/(loss) of $(27) and $2, respectively, had these assets been reported at fair value.
The Company does not participate in securities lending transactions within the separate account.

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company reinsures portions of the risk on certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.
Premiums and annuity considerations include the following reinsurance amounts:

As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act TCJA, the Companys tax reserve deductible temporary difference increased by $18. This change results in an offsetting ($18) taxable temporary difference that will be amortized into taxable income evenly over the eight years subsequent to 2017. The remaining amortizable balance is included within the Policyholder Reserves line items above.
The Inflation Reduction Act was enacted during the third quarter reporting period on August 16, 2022. The act included a provision which subjects high earning corporate taxpayers to the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT). The Company is part of an affiliated group that has not determined if it will be liable for CAMT in 2023 and has not included any estimated impacts of the CAMT in the financial statements, due to the inability to create a reasonable estimate, as of December 31, 2022.
As discussed in Note 2, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company admits deferred income tax assets pursuant to SSAP No. 101. The amount of admitted adjusted gross deferred income tax assets under each component of SSAP No. 101 is as follows:

The Company is party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business. Lawsuits may be brought in any federal or state court in the United States or in an arbitral forum. In addition, there continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies. The Companys legal proceedings are subject to many variables, and given their complexity and scope, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Although legal proceedings sometimes includes substantial demands for compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, damages arising from such demands are typically not material to the Companys financial position.
The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company, except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Companys Balance Sheets. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Company has established a reserve and an offsetting premium tax benefit at December 31, 2022 and 2021 for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. These amounts were not material to the Companys financial position. The guaranty fund (benefit) expense was insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
15. Sales, Transfer, and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities
The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements in which residential mortgage backed securities are delivered to the counterparty once adequate collateral has been received. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had dollar repurchase agreements outstanding in the amount of $20 and $21, respectively, which is included in borrowed money on the Balance Sheets. Those amounts include an insignificant amount of accrued interest at both December 31, 2022 and 2021. At December 31, 2022, securities with a book value of $20 and a fair value of $20 were subject to dollar repurchase agreements. These securities have maturity dates that range from August 1, 2051 to April 1, 2052. At December 31, 2021, a security with a book value of $21 and a fair value of $20 was subject to dollar repurchase agreements. This security has a maturity date of August 1, 2051.

Item 30. Indemnification
The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The Code also specifies producers for determining when indemnification payments can be made.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Depositor 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 Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Depositor 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.

Dear Sir/Madam:
With reference to the Registration Statement on Form N-4 by Transamerica Life Insurance Company and Separate Account VA B with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering individual variable annuity contracts, I have consulted with outside counsel and examined such documents and such law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination and consultation, it is my opinion that:
| 1. | Transamerica Life Insurance Company is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Iowa and has been duly authorized to issue individual variable annuity contracts by the Department of Insurance of the State of Iowa. |
| 2. | Separate Account VA B is a duly authorized and existing separate account established pursuant to the provisions of Section 508A.1 of the Iowa Insurance Code. |
| 3. | The Individual Variable Annuity Contracts have been duly authorized by Transamerica Life Insurance Company and, when sold in jurisdictions authorizing such sales, in accordance with and when issued as contemplated by said Form N-4 Registration Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations of Transamerica Life Insurance Company. |
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to said N-4 Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
TRANSAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
