C.M. Life Insurance Company
Condensed Notes to Statutory Financial Statements
June 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. General
- -----------
C.M. Life Insurance Company ("C.M. Life" or "the Company"), 140 Garden Street,
Hartford, Connecticut, 06154, is a stock life insurance company. The Company
primarily sells flexible premium universal life insurance and variable annuity
products, and is licensed in Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and all 50
states except New York. C.M. Life is a wholly owned stock life insurance
subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual").
With regard to profitability, management believes that net gain from operations,
rather than net income, is the most relevant statutory measure of operating
results for C.M. Life. Net gain from operations represents the excess of income
derived from C.M. Life's lines of business over the costs of operating those
lines (after deducting taxes). Net income is net gain from operations adjusted
by any realized capital gains or losses (net of taxes). Management's investment
philosophy and practice do not emphasize capital gains as a recurring source of
income or capital and the Company does not manage its investment portfolio to
realize gains for non-economic purposes.
The accompanying statutory financial statements, except as to form, have been
prepared in conformity with statutory accounting principles, which include the
practices of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and
the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Connecticut
Insurance Department ("the Department").
The accompanying statutory financial statements are different in some respects
from GAAP financial statements. The more significant differences are as
follows: (a) acquisition costs, such as commissions and other costs directly
related to acquiring new business, are charged to current operations as
incurred, whereas GAAP would require these expenses to be capitalized and
recognized over the life of the policies; (b) policy reserves are based on
adjusted or net level premium methods and statutory mortality and interest
requirements, without consideration of withdrawals, whereas GAAP reserves would
be based upon reasonably conservative estimates of mortality, morbidity and
interest; (c) bonds are generally carried at amortized cost whereas GAAP
generally requires they be valued at fair value; (d) deferred income taxes are
not provided for book-tax timing differences as would be required by GAAP; and
(e) payments received for universal life products and variable annuities are
reported as premium revenue, whereas under GAAP, these payments would be
recorded as deposits to policyholders' account balances.
In the Company's opinion these financial statements contain all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly its
statutory financial position in accordance with statutory accounting principles,
as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the results of its operations for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, changes in
shareholders equity and its cash flows for the six month period ended June 30,
1998 and 1997.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements have been
prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial information
have either read or have access to C.M. Life's audited statutory financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. Accordingly, footnote
disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in
C.M. Life's December 31, 1997 audited statutory financial statements, have been
omitted from these interim financial statements. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with statutory accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations. Although C.M. Life
8
<PAGE>
Part I - Item 1: Condensed Notes to Statutory Financial Statements (continued)
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading, it is suggested that these unaudited interim financial statements be
read in conjunction with the audited statutory financial statements and notes
thereto, included in C.M. Life's annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
2. Related Party - Reinsurance
- -------------------------------
C.M. Life cedes a portion of its life insurance business to MassMutual and other
insurers in the normal course of business. C.M. Life's retention limit per
individual insured is $12.0 million; the portion of the risk exceeding the
retention limit is reinsured with other insurers. C.M. Life remains liable to
the policyholder for the payment of benefits if the reinsurer cannot meet its
obligations under the reinsurance agreement.
C.M. Life has a modified coinsurance quota-share reinsurance agreement with
MassMutual whereby C.M. Life cedes 75% of the premiums on certain universal life
policies. In return MassMutual pays C.M. Life a stipulated expense allowance,
death and surrender benefits, and a modified coinsurance adjustment. Reserves
for payment of future benefits and related assets for the ceded policies are
retained by C.M. Life.
C.M. Life also has a stop-loss agreement with MassMutual which provides for
ceding of claims, up to MassMutual's maximum liability of $25.0 million, that in
the aggregate, exceed the attachment point of 120% of annual expected claims,
where annual expected claims represents 0.18% of covered volume. C.M. Life paid
approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million in premiums under the agreement for
the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1998, and $0.5 million and $0.3
million in premiums for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1997,
respectively.
3. Other Transactions with MassMutual
- --------------------------------------
MassMutual and C.M. Life have an agreement whereby MassMutual, for a fee, will
furnish C.M. Life, as required, operating facilities, human resources, computer
software development and managerial services. Investment and administrative
services are provided to C.M. Life pursuant to a management services agreement
with MassMutual. Fees incurred under the terms of the agreement were $28.3
million and $15.0 million for the three and six month periods ending June 30,
1998 and $15.4 million and $5.2 million for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997, respectively.
4. New Accounting Pronouncements
- ---------------------------------
The NAIC is currently engaged in an extensive project to codify statutory
accounting principles ("Codification") with a goal of providing a comprehensive
guide of statutory accounting principles for use by insurers in all states.
This comprehensive guide, which has been approved by the NAIC, but must be
adopted by the Department before the Company must comply with its provisions,
includes seventy-two Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAPs").
At this time, it is uncertain when or if the Department will adopt Codification,
however, if adopted the effective date is expected to be no earlier than January
1, 2001. Management is currently reviewing the impact of Codification.

Item 2
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management Discussion and Analysis has been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. It has been prepared under the presumption
that users of the interim financial information have either read or have access
to C.M. Life's audited statutory financial statements and notes thereto,
included in C.M. Life's annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December
31, 1997. Although C.M. Life believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that this
Management Discussion and Analysis be read in conjunction with the audited
statutory financial statements and notes thereto, included in C.M. Life's annual
report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
- ----------------------------------------
Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
------------------------------------------------
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, C.M. Life had a net gain from
operations of $6.2 million, as compared with a net loss of $1.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase of $7.9 million or 464.7%, was
primarily attributable to increased investment income, reduced death claims,
increased fees received from the separate accounts and decreased federal income
taxes attributable to reduced taxable income partially offset by increased
commissions and increased expenses.
Premium income, net of reinsurance ceded, increased $32.1 million or 41.8%, to
$108.9 million in 1998 from $76.8 million in 1997. The net growth in premiums
is attributable to a 24.5% increase in sales of Universal and other life
products as compared to the same period of the prior year and a 50.5% increase
in variable annuity products from the same period of the prior year. The result
reflects a slight change in C.M. Life's business mix in which Universal and
other life products comprised 29.4% of total premium income during 1998 compared
to 33.5% in 1997, while annuity products were 70.6% in 1998 compared to 66.5% in
1997.
The following table sets forth premium and other information for C.M. Life's
products.

Net investment income increased $5.1 million or 27.4%, to $23.7 million in 1998
from $18.6 million in 1997 reflecting a combination of growth in invested assets
and an increase in portfolio yields. The general account invested assets grew
6.4% from 1997 and average gross yields increased to 9.1% in 1998 from 7.4% in
1997.

The decrease in gross investment income from bonds and the increase in mortgage
loans reflects a shift in the average investments in these assets. The increase
in gross investment income on common stock results from an extraordinary
dividend received from an affiliated mutual fund, which had favorable market
experience. Fluctuations in market conditions will impact future investment
results.
The following table sets forth C.M. Life's invested assets in the general

</TABLE>
The annualized yield on total investments before indirect expenses was 9.1% and
7.4% for the period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. After expenses,
net annualized yields would be 8.9% and 7.3%, respectively. The annualized
yield on each investment category, before federal income taxes, is calculated
as: (a) gross investment income divided by (b) one half of the sum of assets at
the beginning of the year and assets at the end of the period, less gross
investment income (c) multiplied by four.
Other charges increased $1.4 million or 127.3%, to a charge of $2.5 million in
1998 from a charge of $1.1 million in 1997. The increase in other income
(charges) includes reduced allowances for commissions and expenses on
reinsurance ceded and increases in the reserve adjustment related to the
Company's modified coinsurance agreement with MassMutual. Allowances for
commissions and expenses on reinsurance ceded decreased $1.9 million or 38.0%,
to $3.1 million from $5.0 million in 1997. The reserve adjustment on
reinsurance ceded decreased $0.3 million or 4.9%, to $5.8 million from $6.1
million in 1997.
Policy benefits and payments increased $9.4 million or 35.5%, to $35.9 million
in 1998 from $26.5 million in 1997. Surrender benefits increased $10.9 million
or 63.0%, essentially due to increased variable annuity
11
<PAGE>
Part I - Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
withdrawals and surrenders reflecting the growth in the block of business.
Death claims, net of reinsurance, decreased $1.8 million or 28.1% to $4.6
million in 1998 compared to $6.4 million in 1997 due to improved mortality.
Addition to policyholder reserves, funds and separate accounts increased $8.1
million or 16.8%, to $56.3 million in 1998 from $48.2 million in 1997.
Additions to policyholder reserves, funds and separate accounts includes
transfers to and from the separate account based upon policyholder elections.
The $8.2 million increase is primarily attributable to a $29.2 million increase
in separate account deposits partially offset by a $12.6 million increase in
separate account withdrawals, and an increase in fees charged by the general
account for assets under management, which increased primarily from market
appreciation. These increases were partially offset by an increases in
policyholder reserves and funds for the general account, primarily $8.1 million
of policyholder reserves for Universal Life products.
Operating expenses, commissions and state taxes, licenses and fees, increased
$13.7 million or 90.1%, to $28.9 million in 1998 from $15.2 million in 1997.
The increase is attributable to increased management fees charged by MassMutual
and commissions associated with the production and mix of new business.
Federal income tax expense decreased $3.3 million or 54.1%, to $2.8 million in
1998 from $6.1 million in 1997. Taxable income decreased $9.4 million to $8.1
million in 1998 from $17.5 million in 1997. The decrease in taxable income is
primarily attributable to the difference between statutory insurance reserves
and tax reserves and the timing of the tax deductibility of acquisition costs
and other items.
Realized capital gains, after the transfer to the Interest Maintenance Reserve
("IMR"), which captures after tax realized capital gains and losses due to
changes in interest rates for all types of fixed income investments, were
immaterial for both 1998 and 1997.
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for 1998 was $6.2 million
compared to a net loss of $1.7 million in 1997, representing an increase of $7.9
million or 464.7% increase over the prior year.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------
Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
----------------------------------------------
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, C.M. Life had a net gain from operations
of $12.5 million, as compared with a net gain of $2.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase of $10.1 million or 420.8%, was primarily
attributable to increased investment income, reduced death claims, increased
fees received from the separate accounts and decreased federal income taxes
attributable to reduced taxable income partially offset by increased commissions
and increased expenses.
Premium income, net of reinsurance ceded, increased $39.9 million or 25.8%, to
$194.8 million in 1998 from $154.9 million in 1997. The net growth in premiums
is attributable to increased sales of Universal and other life products of 33.4%
from the same period of the prior year and a 22.3% increase in variable annuity
products from the same period of the prior year. The result reflects a slight
change in C.M. Life's business mix in which Universal and other life products
comprised 33.0% of total premium income during 1998 compared to 31.1% in 1997,
while annuity products were 67.0% in 1998 compared to 68.9% in 1997.

from $36.3 million in 1997 reflecting a combination of growth in invested assets
and an increase in portfolio yields. The general account invested assets grew
6.4% from 1997 and the average gross yields increased to 8.3% in 1998 from 7.4%
in 1997.
The components of net investment income are set forth below.

The decrease in gross investment income from bonds and the increase in mortgage
loans reflects a shift in the average investments in these assets. The increase
in gross investment income on common stock results from an extraordinary
dividend received from an affiliated mutual fund, which had favorable market
experience. Fluctuations in market conditions will impact future investment
results.

</TABLE>
The annualized yield on total investments before indirect expenses was 8.3% and
7.4% for the period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. After expenses,
net annualized yields would be 8.1% and 7.3%, respectively. The annualized
yield on each investment category, before federal income taxes, is calculated
as: (a) gross investment income divided by (b) one half of the sum of assets at
the beginning of the year and assets at the end of the period, less gross
investment income (c) multiplied by two.
Other charges increased $3.1 million or 155.0%, to a charge of $5.1 million in
1998 from a charge of $2.0 million in 1997. The increase in other income
(charges) includes reduced allowances for commissions and expenses on
reinsurance ceded and increases in the reserve adjustment related to the
Company's modified coinsurance agreement with MassMutual. Allowances for
commissions and expenses on reinsurance ceded decreased $3.9 million or 37.9%,
to $6.4 million from $10.3 million in 1997. The reserve adjustment on
reinsurance ceded decreased $0.5 million or 4.1%, to $11.7 million from $12.2
million in 1997.
Policy benefits and payments increased $15.3 million or 28.5%, to $68.9 million
in 1998 from $53.6 million in 1997. Surrender and annuity benefits increased
$18.8 million or 56.6%, and $1.2 million or 22.6%, respectively, essentially due
to increased variable and fixed annuity withdrawals and contract surrenders
reflecting the growth in the block of business. Death claims, net of
reinsurance, decreased $6.2 million or 40.0% to $9.3 million in 1998 compared to
$15.5 million in 1997 due to improved mortality.
Addition to policyholders' reserves, funds and separate account decreased $0.3
million or 0.3%, to $87.3 million in 1998 from $87.6 million in 1997. Additions
to policyholders' reserves, funds and separate account includes transfers (to)
from the separate account based upon policyholder elections. The $0.2 million
decrease is primarily attributable to a $30.1 million increase in separate
account deposits partially offset by a $22.9 million increase in separate
account withdrawals, and an increase in fees charged by the general account for
assets under management, which increased primarily from market appreciation.
These increases are partially offset by an increase in policyholders' reserves
and funds in the general account, primarily $2.9 million of Universal Life and
$2.1 million of Annuity products.
Operating expenses, commissions and state taxes, licenses and fees, increased
$19.4 million or 54.6%, to $54.9 million in 1998 from $35.5 million in 1997.
The increase is attributable to increased commissions associated with the
production and mix of new business and increased management fees charged by
MassMutual, which included increases in agency allowances associated with
business growth.
Federal income tax expense decreased $1.8 million or 17.8%, to $8.3 million in
1998 from $10.1 million in 1997. Taxable income decreased $4.8 million to $23.8
million in 1998 from $28.6 million in 1997. The decrease in taxable income is
primarily attributable to the difference between statutory insurance reserves
and tax reserves and the timing of the tax deductibility of acquisition costs
and other items.

Part I - Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis (continued)
Realized capital gains, after the transfer to the IMR, which captures after tax
realized capital gains and losses due to changes in interest rates for all types
of fixed income investments, were immaterial for both 1998 and 1997.
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for 1998 was $12.5 million
compared to $2.4 million in 1997, representing an increase of $10.1 million or
420.8% increase over the prior year.
Statement of Financial Position
- -------------------------------
Total assets at June 30, 1998 were $2,440.6 million, representing an increase of
$221.4 million or 10.0%, from $2,219.2 million at December 31, 1997. Much of
this increase was due to continued growth in C.M. Life's separate investment
accounts, which increased by $166.5 million, or 15.2% to $1,263.0 million at
June 30, 1998 from $1,096.5 million at December 31, 1997. This increase is due
to market appreciation and additional net deposits of variable products
partially offset by withdrawals. Invested assets in C.M. Life's general account
portfolio at June 30, 1998 increased by $51.1 million, or 4.8% to $1,111.7
million from $1,060.6 million at December 31, 1997, due to growth in in-force
and a $25 million capital contribution from MassMutual.
At June 30, 1998, C.M. Life had $1,111.7 million of invested assets in its
general investment account. The portfolio of invested assets is managed to
support product liabilities in light of yield, liquidity and diversification
considerations. The general investment account portfolio does not include C.M.
Life's separate account investment assets.
Bonds at June 30, 1998 were $723.2 million, representing an increase of $58.7
million, or 8.8% from $664.5 million at December 31, 1997.
Common stocks at June 30, 1998 were $67.8 million, representing an increase of
$6.4 million, or 10.4% from $61.4 million at December 31, 1997. This increase
is a result of market appreciation and dividend reinvestment.
Mortgage loans at June 30, 1998 were $106.0 million, representing an increase of
$4.4 million, or 4.3% from $101.6 million at December 31, 1997.
Other investments, consisting of financial options and interest rate caps and
floors were $7.1 million at June 30, 1998, representing an increase of $4.9
million or 454.5%, from $2.2 million at December 31, 1997.
Cash and short-term investments at June 30, 1998 were $62.8 million,
representing a decrease of $25.6 million, or 29.0% from $88.4 million at
December 31, 1997.
Policy loans at June 30, 1998 were $144.8 million, representing an increase of
$2.3 million, or 1.6%, from $142.5 million at December 31, 1997.
Total liabilities at June 30, 1998 were $2,290.4 million, representing an
increase of $184.4 million, or 8.8%, from $2,106.0 million at December 31, 1997.
As with assets, most of this growth occurred in the separate investment accounts
as discussed above.
Policyholders' reserves and funds at June 30, 1998 were $959.9 million,
representing an increase of $8.9 million, or 0.9%, from $951.0 million at
December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to growth from
interest credited and new sales, partially offset by transfers to separate
accounts and withdrawals.

Liquidity
- ---------
Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.0 million and $21.8 million
for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1998, net cash
provided by operating activities increased by $7.2 million as compared to 1997,
primarily due to increased investment income, reduced death claims, increased
fees received from separate account, partially offset by increased sales of
Universal and other life products. In the second quarter 1998, C.M. Life's
parent, MassMutual, made a $25.0 million surplus contribution to supply C.M.
Life with cash flow and the capital needed to support the Company's continued
business growth. The Board of Directors of MassMutual has authorized, if needed,
the contribution of funds to C.M. Life sufficient to meet the capital
requirements of all states in which C.M. Life is licensed to do business.
Capital Resources

C.M. Life's total adjusted capital as defined by the NAIC was $96.4 million at

1997 or for any period presented.
Shareholder's Equity
- -------------------
Shareholder's equity was $150.2 million at June 30, 1998, an increase of $37.0
million, or 32.7%, from December 31, 1997. This increase was composed of (i)
additional paid in capital contributed by C.M. Life's parent, MassMutual, of
$25.0 million, (ii) 1998 net income of $12.5 million, (iii) an increase of $1.8
million due to the change in Asset Valuation Reserve and General Investment
Reserve and (iv) an increase of $0.9 million due to other changes, and (v) $3.2
million of unrealized capital losses.
