Adopted Statutory Accounting Guidance

2017-23, Wash Sales Involving Money Market Mutual Funds
New disclosures were adopted to SSAP No. 2R and SSAP No. 103R to exclude the acquisitions and the disposals of shares in money market funds from the scope of the wash sale disclosure

, Wash Sale Disclosure New disclosures were adopted to SSAP No. 103R to exclude all cash equivalents, derivative instruments as well as short-term investments with credit assessments equivalent to an NAIC 1 – 2 rating from the wash sale disclosure The adopted revisions also clarify that wash-sales should be disclosed in the financial statement for the period in which the investment was sold

, ASU , Restricted Cash Adopted ASU which requires that restricted cash (or cash equivalents) be included in the same cash flow statement line as cash and cash equivalents for GAAP reporting, and was effective 1Q 2018 ASU also clarifies that transfers between cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (or restricted cash equivalents) are not part of the entity’s operating, investment and financing activities, and details of these transfers are not included in the statement of cash flows. This item is effective for year end 2019 reporting, with early adoption permitted

, Bank Loans Adopted change to clarify that bank loans directly issued by the insurer as well as bank loans acquired through a participation, syndication, or assignment are within scope of SSAP No. 26R Prior to the adopted change, SAPWG directed a referral to the Valuation of Securities Task Force requesting details on the variations between bank loans directly issued or those acquired, and whether different accounting is needed This clarification is not intended to change the reporting for investments that are reported on specific schedules (e.g., Schedule BA)

, Policy Loans Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 49 and SSAP No. 56 to clarify the accounting and reporting for policy loans related to separate account business The clarified guidance is in response to questions regarding the admissibility of policy loans. The revised guidance to SSAP No. 49 clarifies that policy loans related to a separate account are reported in the general account. These loans are recorded as expense transfers to the general account in the Summary of Operations Policy loans related to a separate account must be settled with the general account in order for the policy loan to be an admitted asset, and require a transfer of assets (such as cash) from the separate account to the general account to fund the policy loan Policy loans that are not settled with a transfer of assets are nonadmitted A BWG proposal requests removal of “contract loans” from the separate account blank

2018-05, VOSTF/BWG Symbol Changes
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 32 and to SSAP No. 1 to incorporate new administrative symbols The new 5GI symbol (only used for self-designated 5 designations) replaces the former 5* symbol, and identifies that the insurer has certified in the general interrogatory that the security has been making interest and principal payments

2018-16, Summary Investment Schedule Updates
Adopted revisions to the Appendix A-001, Investments of Reporting Entities, Section 3 Summary Investment Schedule as a result of BWG agenda item BWG , with different breakouts for common stock and mortgage loan property types Appendix A-001 is referenced in SSAP No. 1, which is also updated The revisions align the reporting schedule lines to the investment schedules, which will allow for cross-checks and less manual allocations The new disclosures are effective January 1, 2019 to permit time for coordination with the needed BWG updates

2016-48, Impact of Future Settled Premiums on the Option Valuations
Revisions to SSAP No. 86 were adopted requiring disclosures of aggregate information on financing premiums in derivative contracts. The information was required in narrative format for the 2017 year-end financial statements. Requires disclosure of (i) the non-discounted total premium cost; (ii) premium due in each of the following four years and thereafter; and (iii) fair value of derivatives, excluding the impact of financing premiums. This information will be data captured in electronic format in Schedule DB in 2018 Revisions were also adopted during 2018 requiring individual disclosures in an electronic format in Schedule DB

2017-04, Settlement of Variation Margin
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 86 to recognize the change in variation margin as unrealized gains/losses until the derivative contract is no longer in effect (i.e., matures, expires or terminates) This change is effective for 1Q 2018

2018-08, Private Placement Variable Annuities
Adopted new accounting guidance and disclosures to SSAP No. 21 to clarify the accounting for products that are included within the scope of contracts (i.e., insurer owned life insurance contacts) that qualify as “life insurance” in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code § These products shall be reported as an admitted asset in the amount that could be realized through the date the premium has been paid (i.e., the surrender value) For life contracts not in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code §7702, the reporting entity shall report the amount that could be realized as a non-admitted asset Disclosures for year-end 2018 are required in “other disclosures”, as the Blanks Working Group will not have addressed this item in time for the year-end reporting

2017-08, Extension of SCA Filing Deadlines
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 97 to extend the filing deadline for the SUB 1 Form from 30 to 90 days with the NAIC Securities Valuation Office (SVO) The SUB 1 Form is required when a reporting entity acquires or forms a new subsidiary The change also extends the subsequent annual filings (SUB 2) from June 1 to August 31. If the audited financial statements are routinely received after August 31, the filing is due within 30 days after the audited report is received

, Goodwill Limitation The current capital and surplus limit for goodwill is calculated as 10% of the previous quarter’s capital and surplus after first deducting: EDP equipment, operating system software, goodwill and net deferred tax assets Adopted new disclosures for SSAP No. 68 related to the accounting for and the disclosure of goodwill information to enable regulators to review goodwill admission for each subsidiary, controlled or affiliated (SCA) entity and add transparency to the value claimed for an SCA for year-end 2018 A referral was made to the BWG to include this disclosure in Note 3, rather than Note 10 These disclosures are related to the goodwill recognized in the carrying value of an SCA, and include the original amount of goodwill, the admitted goodwill as of the reporting date, and the admitted goodwill as a percentage of the investment’s carrying value

2017-20, Foreign Entity Clarifications
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 97 clarifying that the “statutory adjustments” apply to all foreign insurance SCA entities The SCA entities, which are subject to the provisions of par. 8.b.iv, may be valued based on the underlying audited U.S. GAAP equity, or audited foreign statutory basis equity This clarification emphasizes that the underlying equity is adjusted to a limited statutory basis in accordance with SSAP No. 97, par. 9

2017-21, Double Counting of Surplus Notes
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 41R and to SSAP No. 97 to provide clarifying guidance to adjust for instances where a parent insurer has issued a surplus note to its insurance subsidiary SSAP No. 41R revision: 17. For surplus notes issued and held between insurance reporting entities and subsidiary, controlled and affiliated entities, the guidance in SSAP No. 97 requires adjustment to prevent double-counting of surplus notes. For example, an insurance reporting entity is not permitted to issue a surplus note, acquired by an SCA, and report both the issuance as an increase in surplus, and an asset representing the investment in the SCA. Pursuant to SSAP No. 97, the “investment in the SCA” shall be adjusted to eliminate the surplus note issued by the insurance reporting entity. SSAP No. 97 clarification: 20. Any parent reporting entity that has issued a surplus note, which has been acquired by SCA, shall adjust the investment in SCA to eliminate the issued surplus note to prevent double counting of the surplus note at the parent reporting entity. Without adjustment, the issued surplus note would be reported both as increase in surplus by the parent reporting entity, as well as an admitted asset of the parent through the “investment in an SCA.”.

, SCA Loss Tracking Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 97 to add disclosures related to investments in SCA entities when a company’s share of the SCA’s losses exceeds the carrying value of the investment The new disclosures are effective for 2018 statutory reporting

2018-01, Federal Income Tax Reform
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 101 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) The new corporate tax rate (i.e., 21%) was to be used as of December 31, 2017 to determine the insurer’s deferred income tax for December 31, 2017 The various items under consideration have been addressed by INT and INT 18-03

, INT 18-01 Adopted Interpretation INT 18-01: Updated Tax Estimates Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to provide a limited-time, limited-scope exception to Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 9 – Subsequent Events, which does not require recognition of changes in reasonable estimates as Type 1 subsequent events after the issuance of statutory financial statements The INT will be nullified on December 31, 2018

2018-15, INT 18-03 Additional Elements Under The TCJA
Adopted INT to address the Repatriation Transition Tax (RTT), the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Credit, and the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income Tax from the TCJA (GILTI) This Interpretation provides limited-time guidance for these items, with subsequent revisions to SSAP No. 101 once the FASB addresses GILTI for U.S. GAAP. The RTT and AMT are limited-time issues, and are not expected to impact SSAP No. 101 RTT The RTT is a one-time transition tax on untaxed foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries of U.S. entities. Under new section 965 of the Internal Revenue Code, these items are deemed repatriated (foreign earnings in cash and cash equivalents are taxed at 15.5%, the remaining amounts are taxed at 8.0%) RTT is a current year item recognized as a “current federal and foreign income tax”, regardless of whether the full amount is currently paid or paid over eight years. Companies subject to RTT shall include disclosures in note 9

AMT Credit The corporate AMT has been repealed. If a reporting entity has an AMT credit carry forward, it can claim a recovery of up to 50% of the remaining credits – once the amount of the AMT credit is known, it does not subsequently change with future taxable income. The amount recoverable is realized through an offset to regular taxes, or as a refund Reporting entities that expect to receive the AMT credit as a refund vs. a reduction of taxes, shall disclose the gross amount due, with recognition of a statutory valuation allowance (regardless if recognized as a current recoverable or DTA) for the amount of the refund not expected to be received as a result of U.S. federal sequestration. The statutory valuation allowance shall be adjusted yearly based on updated sequestration estimates Disclosures are required in note 9

GILTI The GILTI tax is a new tax under the TCJA, calculated each year on a portion of the controlled foreign corporations active income. GILTI tax from the current-year tax return is a current-year tax item captured in SSAP No The amount payable shall be recognized as a current year expense with a liability recognized as a “current federal and foreign income tax” and not as a DTL INT 18-01 This interpretation provides a limited-time, limited-scope exception to SSAP No. 9 to not require recognition of changes in reasonable estimates from the Act as Type I subsequent events after the issuance of the statutory financial statements. Additionally, the INT provides instructions for reporting changes in deferred income taxes in the financial statements. This interpretation will be automatically nullified on December 31, 2018

2017-26, High-Cost Risk Pooling in ACA Risk Adjustment
Adopted revisions to SSAP No. 107 to incorporate accounting guidance for the high-cost risk pools as part of the ACA risk adjustment program starting in The high-cost risk pool functions as a “reinsurance like element” to the risk adjustment program There are two new high-cost risk pools, a threshold and a co-insurance rate. For 2018, the threshold is $1 million, and the co-insurance rate is 60% of specific incurred claims that are more than $1 million The adopted guidance (i.e., Option 2) requires the reimbursed amounts to be reported as adjustments to premiums with disclosures. The alternative Option 1 would have reduced the claims incurred amount for the high-cost risk pool reimbursement Option 2 was deemed to preserve premium tax treatment on a national level, and to be more pragmatic to apply

Exposed Statutory Accounting Guidance

, Reinsurance Credit Exposed guidance to SSAP No. 61R and SSAP No. 62R to address some issues raised by regulators related to the application of risk transfer as provided within SSAP No. 61R and determine if the U.S. GAAP requirements for risk transfer are a higher threshold than for statutory accounting Modifications to SSAP No. 61R propose disclosures and updates to Appendix A-791 Q&A. SSAP No. 62R incorporate U.S. GAAP guidance The current exposure includes additional clarifying guidance to address instances where a cedent would report a reinsurance credit in excess of the amount ceded

2017-32, Investment Clarification Project
Exposed issued paper and substantive revisions to SSAP No. 30 Revisions include a revised common stock definition to include non- publicly traded or restricted common stock, as well as closed-end funds and unit-investment trusts The current exposure includes a January 1, 2019 effective date

2018-17, Structured Settlements
Exposed revisions to SSAP No. 21 to incorporate accounting guidance for structured settlement income streams acquired by insurers as investments The exposed revision excludes securitizations within the scope of SSAP No. 43R, and provides for the classification of the structured settlement as either a period-certain or as a life contingent structured settlement Period certain structured settlements would be classified as an admitted asset to the extent it has been legally acquired in accordance with all state and federal requirements Life contingent structured settlements would be classified as a nonadmitted asset

, Credit Losses The FASB issued ASU , Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments on June 16, 2016 The SAPWG exposed a draft concept paper on the application of the new GAAP guidance to statutory accounting. The concept paper was unclear and resulted in industry drafting an interpretation of staff’s intent. Staff agreed with industry’s interpretation of the intent and industry submitted a comment letter on the intent in early November Currently, NAIC staff is working on a draft issue paper for exposure

APPENDIX

NAIC Working Group Structure
Executive Committee & Plenary Financial Condition (E) Committee Accounting Practices & Procedures Task Force Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group (SAPWG) Blanks Working Group (BWG) Only SAPWG is Authorized to Modify the AP&P Manual

Overview of SAPWG The SAPWG is responsible for developing and adopting substantive, non nonsubstantive and interpretative revisions to the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual Substantive statutory accounting revisions introduce original or modified accounting principles. Substantive revisions can be reflected in an existing Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) or a new SSAP Nonsubstantive statutory accounting revisions are characterized as language clarifications that do not modify the original intent of a SSAP SSAPs are the highest level (i.e., level 1) in the statutory accounting hierarchy

Overview of SAPWG An interpretation to an existing SSAP may be developed to provide timely application, interpretation or clarification guidance. Revisions classified as an interpretation shall not amend, supersede or conflict with existing, effective SSAPs Interpretations are considered the second highest authority (i.e., Level 2) in the statutory accounting hierarchy

Overview of BWG The BWG is responsible for the consideration of improvements and revisions to the various annual/quarterly statement blanks to: conform these blanks to changes made in other areas of the NAIC to promote uniformity in reporting of financial information by insurers; develop reporting formats for other entities subject to the jurisdiction of state insurance departments; conform the various NAIC blanks and instructions to adopted NAIC policy; oversee the development of additional reporting formats within the existing annual financial statements as needs are identified; and monitor and improve the quality of financial data filed by insurance companies by recommending improved or additional language for the Annual Statement Instructions. The NAIC Annual Statement Instructions are Level 3 in the statutory accounting hierarchy

NAIC Accounting Change Process
Substantive Changes Form A exposed in SAPWG for new or revised SSAPs Comments received, issue paper exposed, first public hearing Comments received SSAP exposed w/effective date, second public hearing Vote for adoption (simple majority) Up the chain: SAPWG -> AP&P TF -> FCC Nonsubstantive Changes Form A exposed in SAPWG Comments received, issue paper exposed/re-exposed, At least one public hearing Vote for adoption (multiple items sometimes adopted together) Usually effective upon adoption (but can have effective date) Interpretations Questions related to application, interpretation of existing SSAPs Effective 1/1/2016, handled in SAPWG. Used to be separate working group (EAIWG) Two public hearings required Supermajority vote to adopt (2/3) Interpretations eventually incorporated into SSAPs Coordination w/other NAIC Groups New disclosures often followed by referral to BWG, sometimes concurrent exposures Not uncommon for SAPWG and BWG exposures to be effective in different years. Disclosures often free-formed initially then data captured once BWG exposure adopted Issues can cross multiple groups (VOSTF for investments, CATF for RBC most common)
