ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Premium, deposits and contract charges
Statutory premiums, which include premiums and deposits for all
products, increased $1.4 million or 3.1% for the first quarter of 1997 compared
with the same period for 1996. The increase is largely the result of higher
sales of variable annuity and life insurance products, partially offset by lower
sales of structured settlement annuities.
Premiums and contract charges under generally accepted accounting
principals ("GAAP") decreased 4.4% for the first quarter of 1997 compared with
the same period for 1996. Under GAAP, revenues exclude deposits on most
annuities and premiums on universal life insurance policies. The decrease in
premiums and contract charges in 1997 primarily reflects lower levels of sales
of structured settlement annuities sold with life contingencies. GAAP premium
and contract charges will vary with the mix of products sold during the period.
Realized capital losses
Realized capital losses of $32 thousand after tax in the first quarter
of 1997 were 28.9% lower than the losses reported in the same period of 1996.
The decrease was due to gains on the sale of fixed income securities realized in
the first quarter of 1997.
Net operating income
Net operating income increased $771 thousand or 15.5% for the first
quarter of 1997 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase
in 1997 is the result of growth in investments and favorable mortality
experience on structured settlement annuities with life contingencies, offset in
part by an increase in amortization of deferred acquisition costs.
Pretax net investment income increased 9.4% for the first quarter of
1997 primarily due to growth in investments primarily from positive cash flows
from operations.
Operating expenses and amortization of deferred acquisition costs
increased $1.2 million or 20.9% for the first quarter of 1997 when compared to
the same period in the prior year. The 20.9% increase resulted primarily from an
increase in amortization expense of deferred acquisition costs related to growth
in sales and a larger maturing block of business.
INVESTMENTS
The composition of the investment portfolio at March 31, 1997 is
presented at carrying value in the table below.

ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's fixed income securities portfolio consists of tax-exempt
municipal bonds, publicly traded corporate bonds, privately-placed securities,
mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and U.S. government bonds.
The Company generally holds its fixed income securities for the long term, but
has classified all of these securities as available for sale to allow maximum
flexibility in portfolio management. Total investments decreased to $1.60
billion at March 31, 1997 from $1.64 billion at December 31, 1996 as the
investment of positive cash flows generated from operating activities was more
than offset by a $76 million decrease in unrealized gains on the fixed income
security portfolio. The decrease in the unrealized gain position is primarily
attributable to rising interest rates.
Substantially all of the Company's fixed income securities portfolio is
rated investment grade, which is defined by the Company as a security having a
National Association of Insurance Commissioners rating of 1 or 2, a Moody's
rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa, or a comparable Company internal rating.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
The Company's principal sources of funds are premiums, deposits, and
collections of principal and income from the investment portfolio. The primary
uses of these funds are to purchase investments and pay policyholder claims,
benefits, contract maturities and surrenders, and operating costs.
Cash at the end of the period increased as cash from operations and
financing activities were partially offset by the purchase of investments. Cash
from operations increased due to increased sales and lower federal income tax
payments offset in part by higher benefits and expenses.
PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In January 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial
Reporting Release No. 48 ("FRR 48") "Disclosure of Accounting Policies for
Derivative Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments and
Disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Market Risk
Inherent in Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and
Derivative Commodity Instruments."
Effective in the second quarter of 1997, FRR 48 requires additional
disclosures in the footnotes to the financial statements about the Company's
accounting policies for derivative financial instruments. The Company
substantially adopted this requirement at December 31, 1996. In addition, FRR 48
requires annual disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information about the
market risk inherent in the Company's market risk sensitive instruments,
including but not limited to, fixed income securities and derivative financial
instruments. The quantitative and qualitative disclosures are effective for the
Company's year-end 1998 reporting, but recent Congressional events may
ultimately impact the nature and effective date of FRR 48.
