NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
ML Life Insurance Company of New York (the "Company") is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch Insurance Group, Inc.
("MLIG"). The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("Merrill Lynch & Co."). The Company
sells life insurance and annuity products, including variable
life insurance and variable annuities.
The interim financial statements for the three and six month
periods are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these
unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and the results of
operations in accordance with generally accepted acounting
principles. These unaudited financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in
the Company's Annual Report included as an exhibit to Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998. The nature of the
Company's business is such that the results of any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year. Certain reclassifications have also been made to prior
period financial statements, where appropriate, to conform to
the current period presentation.
NOTE 2. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES:
The Company maintains its statutory accounting records in
conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
the Insurance Department of the State of New York and the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Statutory
capital and surplus at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, was
$60.0 million and $55.9 million, respectively. For the six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, statutory net income was
$4.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS:
The Company's investments in debt and equity securities are
classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value.
The Company has recorded certain adjustments to deferred policy
acquisition costs and policyholders' account balances in
conjunction with investments classified as available-for-sale.
The Company adjusts those assets and liabilities as if the
unrealized investment gains or losses from available-for-sale
investments had actually been realized, with corresponding
credits or charges reported in stockholder's equity as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes.
The following reconciles net unrealized investment gains
(losses) on available-for-sale investments:
