MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MONY Life Insurance Company of America (the "Company"), an Arizona stock
life insurance company, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MONY Life Insurance
Company of New York ("MONY Life"), formerly The Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York, which converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life
insurance company (the "Demutualization"). MONY Life is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The MONY Group, Inc. (the "MONY Group").
The Company's primary business is to provide asset accumulation and life
insurance products to business owners, growing families, and pre-retirees. The
Company's insurance and financial products are marketed and distributed directly
to individuals primarily through MONY Life's career agency sales force. These
products are sold in 49 states (not including New York), the District of
Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements are
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of
management, these statements include all adjustments which were normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 1999 in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Federal income taxes for interim periods have been computed using an
estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is revised, if necessary, at the
end of each successive interim period to reflect the current estimate of the
annual effective tax rate.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Since late 1995 a number of purported class actions have been commenced in
various state and federal courts against the Company alleging that the Company
engaged in deceptive sales practices in connection with the sale of whole and
universal life insurance policies in the 1980s and 1990s. Although the claims
asserted in each case are not identical, they seek substantially the same relief
under essentially the same theories of recovery (i.e., breach of contract,
fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent supervision and training, breach
of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and violation of state insurance and/or
deceptive business practice laws). Plaintiffs in these cases seek primarily
equitable relief (e.g., reformation, specific performance, mandatory injunctive
relief prohibiting the Company from canceling policies for failure to make
required premium payments, imposition of a constructive trust and creation of a
claims resolution facility to adjudicate any individual issues remaining after
resolution of all class-wide issues) as opposed to compensatory damages,
although they also seek compensatory damages in unspecified amounts. The Company
has answered the complaints in each action (except for one being voluntarily
held in abeyance), has denied any wrongdoing and has asserted numerous
affirmative defenses.
On June 7, 1996, the New York State Supreme Court certified one of those
cases, Goshen v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life
Insurance Company of America, the Goshen case, being the first of the
aforementioned class actions filed, as a nationwide class consisting of all
persons or
7

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
entities who have, or at the time of the policy's termination had, an ownership
interest in a whole life or universal life insurance policy issued by the
Company and sold on an alleged "vanishing premium" basis during the period
January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1995. On March 27, 1997, the Company filed a
motion to dismiss or, alternatively, for summary judgement on all counts of the
complaint. All of the other putative class actions have been consolidated and
transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, or are being
voluntarily held in abeyance pending the outcome of the Goshen case.
On October 21, 1997, the New York State Supreme Court granted the Company's
motion for summary judgement and dismissed all claims filed in the Goshen case
against the Company. On December 20, 1999, the New York State Court of Appeals
affirmed the dismissal of all but one of the claims in the Goshen case (a claim
under New York's General Business Law), which has been remanded back to the New
York State Supreme Court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against the sole remaining
claim. There can be no assurance that the present litigation relating to sales
practices will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is involved in
various other legal actions and proceedings in connection with its business. The
claimants in certain of these actions and proceedings seek damages of
unspecified amounts.
While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in
the opinion of management, any liability resulting from the resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
Insurance companies are subject to assessments up to statutory limits, by
state guaranty funds for losses of policyholders of insolvent insurance
companies. In the opinion of management, such assessments will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial position and the results of operations
of the Company.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had commitments outstanding of $2.7 million
for fixed rate agricultural loans with periodic interest rate reset dates. The
initial interest rates on such agricultural loans range from 8.65% to 8.81%.
There were no commitments outstanding for commercial mortgages as of March 31,
2000. The Company had commitments outstanding to purchase $24.8 million of
private fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2000 with interest rates
ranging from 6.2% to 7.9%.
5. NOTE PAYABLE TO AFFILIATE
On March 5, 1999, the Company borrowed $50.5 million from MONY Benefits
Management Corp. ("MBMC"), an affiliate, in exchange for a note payable in the
same amount. The note bears interest at 6.75% per annum and matures on March 5,
2014. Principal and interest are payable quarterly to MBMC. The carrying value
of the note as of March 31, 2000 is $48.5 million.
6. INTERCOMPANY REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS
The Company entered into a modified coinsurance agreement with U.S.
Financial Life Insurance Company ("USFL"), an affiliate, effective January 1,
1999, whereby the Company agrees to reinsure 90% of all level term life
insurance policies written by USFL after January 1, 1999. Under the agreement,
the Company will share in all premiums and benefits for such policies based on
the 90% quota share percentage, after consideration of existing reinsurance
agreements previously in force on this business. In addition, the Company will
reimburse USFL for its quota share of expense allowances, as defined in the
agreement. At March 31, 2000 the Company recorded a payable of $5.6 million to
USFL in connection with this agreement which is included in Accounts Payable and
Other Liabilities in the balance sheet.

MONY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Effective September 1, 1999, the Company recaptured its reinsurance
agreements with MONY Life for all in force and new business. The Company
simultaneously entered into new reinsurance agreements with third party
reinsurers which reinsured the same block of business as that previously
reinsured by MONY Life. Under the new reinsurance agreements, the Company
increased its retention limits on new business for any one person for individual
products from $0.5 million to $4.0 million and on last survivor products from
$0.5 million to $6.0 million.

<PAGE> 12
For the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to the Three-Month
Period Ended March 31, 1999
Universal life ("UL") and investment-type product fees were $38.1 million
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $5.6 million, or
17.2%, from $32.5 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The
principal reasons for the change from period to period are as follows:
Flexible premium variable annuity ("FPVA") product fees were $16.9
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$1.8 million, from $15.1 million reported in the comparable prior year
period. The increase in FPVA fees was primarily due to higher surrender
charges of $1.7 million.
Variable universal life and corporate sponsored variable universal life
("CSVUL") product fees were $12.1 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $4.8 million, from $7.3 million
reported in the comparable prior year period.
The increase in fees was primarily due to higher charges for the cost of
insurance, loading and surrender charges of $2.9 million, $0.9 million
and $0.6 million, respectively, and lower unearned revenue (amounts
assigned to the policyholders for future services) of $0.8 million
offset by lower administrative charges of $0.5 million.
Offsetting this was a decrease in the fee income for UL of $0.7 million
due to lower loading charges of $0.2 million and lower unearned revenue
(amounts assigned to the policyholders for future services) of $0.5
million.
Premium revenue was $4.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2000, an increase of $3.9 million, or 390.0%, from $1.0 million reported in the
comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily the result of a
modified coinsurance treaty ("MODCO") between U.S. Financial Life and the
Company, which went into effect in the fourth quarter 1999 (see Note 6 in
Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements).
Net investment income was $23.7 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2.1%, from $24.2 million reported
in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to a
decrease in the average balances of invested assets of $30.3 million, which was
partially offset by a 1 basis point increase in portfolio yields.
Net realized losses on investments were $0.1 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.3 million, from a net realized
gain of $0.2 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The decrease
was a result of lower sales/prepayment gains on fixed maturities of $0.7 million
offset by higher gains on provisions for allowances on mortgage loans of $0.2
million and lower losses on provisions for allowances on real estate of $0.2
million
Other income was $3.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2000, an increase of $1.7 million, or 106.3%, as compared to $1.6 million in the
comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues
from supplementary contracts and an increase in the reinsurance allowance.
Benefits to policyholders were $12.5 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $2.7 million, or 27.6%, from $9.8 million
reported in the comparable prior year period. The increase was a result of the
MODCO treaty with USFL (see Note 6 in Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial
Statements) and lower reinsurance credits as a result of higher retention
limits.
Interest credited to policyholders' account balances was $16.1 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.4 million, or
2.4%, from $16.5 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The
decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $0.8 million from the
continued runoff of single premium deferred annuity ("SPDA") offset by an
increase of $0.4 million from higher crediting rates for UL products.
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") was $12.9 million
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $2.9 million, or
29.0%, from $10.0 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The
increase primarily resulted from an increase of $0.9 million in VUL from the
growth of
11
<PAGE> 13
variable business, $0.9 million as a result of the MODCO treaty with USFL (see
Note 6 in Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements) and $0.5 million in
UL due to better mortality experience.
Other operating costs and expenses were $23.1 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $4.1 million, or 21.6%, from $19.0
million reported in the comparable year. The increase was due to higher direct
expenses, premium taxes, third party administration of level term business and
printing costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash inflows are provided mainly from annuity considerations
and deposit funds, investment income and maturities and sales of invested assets
and life insurance premiums. Cash outflows primarily relate to the liabilities
associated with its various annuity and life insurance products, operating
expenses, income taxes, acquisitions of invested assets, and principal and
interest on its outstanding debt obligations. The annuity and life insurance
liabilities relate to the Company's obligation to make benefit payments under
its annuity and insurance contracts, as well as the need to make payments in
connection with policy surrenders, withdrawals and loans. The Company develops
an annual cash flow projection which shows expected asset and liability cash
flows on a monthly basis. At the end of each quarter actual cash flows are
compared to projections, projections for the balance of the year are adjusted in
light of the actual results, if appropriate, and investment strategies are also
changed, if appropriate. The quarterly cash flow reports contain relevant
information on all of the following: new product sales and deposits versus
projections, existing liability cash flow versus projections and asset portfolio
cash flow versus projections. An interest rate projection is a part of the
initial annual cash flow projections for both assets and liabilities. Actual
changes in interest rates during the year and, to a lesser extent, changes in
rate expectations will impact the changes in projected asset and liability cash
flows during the course of the year.
When the Company is formulating its cash flow projections it considers,
among other things, its expectations about sales of the Company's products, its
expectations concerning customer behavior in light of current and expected
economic conditions, its expectations concerning competitors and the general
outlook for the economy and interest rates.
The events most likely to cause an adjustment in the Company's investment
policies are: (i) a significant change in its product mix, (ii) a significant
change in the outlook for either the economy in general or for interest rates in
particular and (iii) a significant reevaluation of the prospective risks and
returns of various asset classes.

(1) Excludes $326.7 million and $106.0 million for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively relating to surrenders associated with
an exchange program offered by the Company wherein contractholders
surrendered old FPVA contracts and reinvested the proceeds therefrom in a
new enhanced FPVA product offered by the Company.
Annuity surrenders have increased for the three-month period ended March
31, 2000 as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to the
aging of the block of business and consequent decrease in surrender charge rates
and due to an increase in replacement activity. In July 1999, the Company has
responded to this trend by enhancing its variable annuity products by offering
new investment fund choices.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, and 1999 the Company
reported cash provided from operations of $9.0 million,. In 2000, net cash flow
used for financing activities was $23.0 million, a decrease of $101.4 million as
compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to the issuance of a
note payable to MBMC in the amount of $50.5 million in 1999 (see Note 5 in
Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements) and a decrease in
policyholders account balances. The Company's liquid assets include U.S.
Treasury holdings, short-term money market investments and marketable long-term
fixed maturity securities. Management believes that the Company's sources of
liquidity are adequate to meet its anticipated needs. As of March 31, 2000, the
Company had readily marketable fixed maturity securities with a carrying value
of $1,017.8 million, which were comprised of $507.5 million public and $510.2
million private fixed maturity securities. At that date, approximately 94.7% of
the Company's fixed maturity securities were designated in NAIC rating
categories 1 and 2 (considered investment grade, with a rating of "Baa" or
higher by Moody's or "BBB" or higher by S&P). In addition, at March 31, 2000,
the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $37.9 million.
At March 31, 2000, the Company had commitments outstanding of $2.7 million
for fixed rate agricultural loans with periodic interest rate reset dates. The
initial interest rates on such agricultural loans range from 8.65% to 8.81%.
There were no commitments outstanding for commercial mortgages as of March 31,
2000. The Company had commitments outstanding to purchase $24.8 million of
private fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2000 with interest rates
ranging from 6.2% to 7.9%.
Of the $52.8 million commercial mortgage loans in the Company's investment
portfolio at March 31, 2000, $2.2 million, $4.6 million, $8.7 million, and $0.0
million are scheduled to mature in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
At March 31, 2000, aggregate maturities of long-term debt based on required
remaining principal payments for 2000 and the succeeding four years are $1.6
million, $2.3 million, $2.4 million, $2.6 million and $2.8 million,
respectively, and $36.8 million thereafter.

<PAGE> 15
Aggregate contractual debt service payments on the Company's debt at March
31, 2000, for the remainder of 2000 and the succeeding four years are $4.0
million, $5.4 million, $5.4 million, $5.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively
and $49.8 million thereafter.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") established
Risk Based Capital ("RBC") requirements to help state regulators monitor and
safeguard life insurers' financial strength by identifying those companies that
may be inadequately capitalized. The RBC guidelines provide a method to measure
the adjusted capital (statutory-basis capital and surplus plus the Asset
Valuation Reserve ("AVR") and other adjustments) that a life insurance company
should have for regulatory purposes, taking into consideration the risk
characteristics of such company's investments and products. A life insurance
company's RBC ratio will vary over time depending upon many factors, including
its earnings, the nature, mix and credit quality of its investment portfolio and
the nature and volume of the products that is sells.
While the RBC guidelines are intended to be a regulatory tool only, and are
not intended as a means to rank insurers generally, comparisons of RBC ratios of
life insurers have become generally available. The Company's adjusted RBC
capital ratio at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, was in excess of the
minimum required RBC.
YEAR 2000
The Company successfully completed its Year 2000 Project (the "Project") to
ensure Year 2000 readiness. The Company developed and implemented an
enterprise-wide plan to prepare for the Year 2000 issue by ensuring compliance
of all applications, operating systems and hardware on mainframe, PC and local
area network ("LAN") platforms; ensuring the compliance of voice and data
network software and hardware; addressing the compliance of key vendors and
other third parties.
The total cost of the Project was $2.4 million. The Company does not expect
to incur any material future costs on the Project.
The Company has not experienced any significant Year 2000 related problems
post-December 31, 1999 with its operations or with any external parties with
which business is conducted. Based on this experience and the amount of work and
testing previously performed, the Company believes the likelihood of a Year 2000
issue that would have a material effect on the Company's financial position and
results of its operations continues to be remote as the Company performs
month-end, leap year, quarter-end, and year-end processing. However, there is
still the possibility that future Year 2000 related failures in the Company's
systems or equipment and/or failure of external parties to achieve Year 2000
compliance could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position and results of its operations.

The yield on general account invested assets (including net realized gains

FIXED MATURITIES
Fixed maturities consist of publicly traded debt securities and privately
placed debt securities, and represented 78.7% and 80.0% of total invested assets
at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
The Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC evaluates the bond investments
of insurers for regulatory reporting purposes and assigns securities to one of
six investment categories called "NAIC Designations". The NAIC Designations
closely mirror the Nationally Recognized Securities Rating Organizations' credit
ratings for marketable bonds. NAIC Designations 1 and 2 include bonds considered
investment grade ("Baa" or higher by Moody's, or "BBB" or higher by S&P) by such
rating organizations. NAIC Designations 3 through 6 are referred to as below
investment grade ("Ba" or lower by Moody's, or "BB" or lower by S&P).
Of the Company's total portfolio of fixed maturity securities at March 31,
2000, 94.7% were investment grade and 5.3% were below investment grade.
The Company reviews all fixed maturity securities at least once each
quarter and identifies investments that management concludes require additional
monitoring. Among the criteria are: (i) violation of financial covenants, (ii)
public securities trading at a substantial discount as a result of specific
credit concerns and (iii) other subjective factors relating to the issuer.
The Company defines problem securities in the fixed maturity category as
securities (i) as to which principal and/or interest payments are in default or
are to be restructured pursuant to commenced negotiations or (ii) are issued by
a company that went into bankruptcy subsequent to the acquisition of such
securities or (iii) are deemed to have other than temporary impairments to
value.
15
<PAGE> 17
The Company defines potential problem securities in the fixed maturity
category as securities that are deemed to be experiencing significant operating
problems or difficult industry conditions. Typically these credits are
experiencing or anticipating liquidity constraints, having difficulty meeting
projections/budgets and would most likely be considered a below investment grade
risk.
The Company defines restructured securities in the fixed maturity category
as securities where a concession has been granted to the borrower related to the
borrower's financial difficulties that the Company would not have otherwise
considered. The Company restructures certain securities in instances where a
determination was made that greater economic value will be realized under the
new terms than through liquidation or other disposition. The terms of the
restructure generally involve some or all of the following characteristics: a
reduction in the interest rate, an extension of the maturity date and a partial
forgiveness of principal and/or interest.
The following table sets forth the total carrying values of the Company's
fixed maturity portfolio, as well as its problem, potential problem and
restructured fixed maturities as of the dates indicated:

At March 31, 2000, the Company's largest unaffiliated single concentration
of fixed maturities was $59.9 million of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC") which represents 4.6% of total invested assets. No other individual
non-government issuer represents more than 1.7% of invested assets.
The Company held approximately $217.8 million and $217.5 million of
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities as of March 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999, respectively. Of such amounts, $78.4 million and $82.4 million, or
36.0% and 37.9%, respectively, represented agency-issued pass-through and
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") secured by Federal National
Mortgage Association, FHLMC and Government National Mortgage Association. The
balance of such amounts was comprised of other types of mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities. The Company believes that its active monitoring of its
portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and the limited extent of its holdings
of more volatile types of mortgage-backed securities mitigate the Company's
exposure to losses from prepayment risk associated with interest rate
fluctuations for this portfolio. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, 79.4%
and 81.9%, respectively, of the Company's mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities were assigned a NAIC Designation of 1. In addition, the Company
believes that it holds a relatively low percentage of CMOs compared to other
life insurance companies.

MORTGAGE LOANS
Mortgage loans comprised 12.8% and 12.6% of total invested assets as of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Mortgage loans consist of
commercial and agricultural loans. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
commercial mortgage loans comprised $52.8 million and $52.8 million or 31.9% and
32.0% of total mortgage loan investments, respectively. Agricultural loans
comprised $112.9 million and $112.2 million, or 68.1% and 68.0% of total
mortgage loan investments at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LOANS
For commercial mortgages, the carrying value of the largest amount loaned
on any one single property aggregated $28.6 million and represented 2.2% of
general account invested assets as of March 31, 2000. No other mortgage loan
represents more than 0.5% of invested assets. Total mortgage loans to the 5
largest borrowers accounted in the aggregate for 82.4% of the total carrying
value of the commercial loan portfolio and less than 3.4% of total invested
assets at March 31, 2000.

Problem, Potential Problem and Restructured Commercial Mortgages
Commercial mortgage loans are stated at their unpaid principal balances,
net of valuation allowances and writedowns for impairment. The Company provides
valuation allowances for commercial mortgage loans considered to be impaired.
Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts
due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the Company
determines that a loan is impaired, a valuation allowance for loss is
established for the excess of the carrying value of the mortgage loan over its
estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either the present value
of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective
interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral. The provision for loss is reported as a realized loss on investment.
The Company reviews its mortgage loan portfolio and analyzes the need for a
valuation allowance for any loan which is delinquent for 60 days or more, in
process of foreclosure, restructured, on "watchlist", or which currently has a
valuation allowance. Loans which are delinquent and loans in process of
foreclosure are categorized by the Company as "problem" loans. Loans with
valuation allowances, but which are not currently delinquent, and loans which
are on watchlist are categorized by the Company as "potential problem" loans.
Loans for which the original terms of the mortgages have been modified or for
which interest or principal payments have been deferred are categorized by the
Company as "restructured" loans.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of problem, potential
problem and restructured commercial mortgage loans relative to the carrying
value of all commercial mortgage loans as of the dates indicated. The table also
presents the valuation allowances and writedowns recorded by the Company
relative to commercial mortgages defined as problem and restructured as of each

expected losses on all other agricultural mortgage loans based on its historical
loss experience for such investments. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999, such reserves were $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
EQUITY REAL ESTATE
The Company holds real estate as part of its general account investment
portfolio. The Company has adopted a policy of not investing new funds in equity
real estate except to safeguard values in existing investments or to honor
outstanding commitments. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the
carrying value of the Company's real estate investments was $7.1 million and
$6.9 million, respectively, or 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively, of general account
invested assets. The Company owns investment real estate, real estate acquired
upon foreclosure and minority owned joint ventures.
Equity real estate is categorized as either "Real estate held for
investment" or "Real estate to be disposed of ". Real estate to be disposed of
consists of properties for which the Company has commenced marketing efforts.
The carrying value of real estate held for investment totaled $5.5 million and
$5.3 million as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The
carrying value of real estate to be disposed of was $1.6 million and $1.6
million as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since late 1995 a number of purported class actions have been commenced in
various state and federal courts against the Company alleging that the Company
engaged in deceptive sales practices in connection with the sale of whole and
universal life insurance policies in the 1980s and 1990s. Although the claims
asserted in each case are not identical, they seek substantially the same relief
under essentially the same theories of recovery (i.e., breach of contract,
fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent supervision and training, breach
of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and violation of state insurance and/or
deceptive business practice laws). Plaintiffs in these cases seek primarily
equitable relief (e.g., reformation, specific performance, mandatory injunctive
relief prohibiting the Company from canceling policies for failure to make
required premium payments, imposition of a constructive trust and creation of a
claims resolution facility to adjudicate any individual issues remaining after
resolution of all class-wide issues) as opposed to compensatory damages,
although they also seek compensatory damages in unspecified amounts. The Company
has answered the complaints in each action (except for one being voluntarily
held in abeyance), has denied any wrongdoing and has asserted numerous
affirmative defenses.
On June 7, 1996, the New York State Supreme Court certified one of those
cases, Goshen v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life
Insurance Company of America, the Goshen case, being the first of the
aforementioned class actions filed, as a nationwide class consisting of all
persons or entities who have, or at the time of the policy's termination had, an
ownership interest in a whole life or universal life insurance policy issued by
the Company and sold on an alleged "vanishing premium" basis during the period
January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1995. On March 27, 1997, the Company filed a
motion to dismiss or, alternatively, for summary judgement on all counts of the
complaint. All of the other putative class actions have been consolidated and
transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United
States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, or are being
voluntarily held in abeyance pending the outcome of the Goshen case.
On October 21, 1997, the New York State Supreme Court granted the Company's
motion for summary judgement and dismissed all claims filed in the Goshen case
against the Company. On December 20, 1999, the New York State Court of Appeals
affirmed the dismissal of all but one of the claims in the Goshen case (a claim
under New York's General Business Law), which has been remanded back to the New
York State Supreme Court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against the sole remaining
claim. There can be no assurance that the present litigation relating to sales
practices will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
In addition to the foregoing, from time to time the Company is party to
litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of its business,
none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
