ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc. (the "Parent"), is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of New York. At September 30, 1995, the Company owned $163.2 million of assets.
The Company specializes in the sale of tax-deferred long-term savings products and investments. The Company markets fixed annuities and fee- generating variable annuities. Its annuity products are distributed through a broad spectrum of financial services distribution channels, including independent registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers; banks and other financial institutions; and independent general insurance agents.
The Company maintains its principal offices at 733 Third Avenue, 4th Floor, New York, New York 10017, telephone (800) 272-3007. The Company has no employees and employees of the Parent or its other subsidiaries perform various services for the Company. The Parent has approximately 1,300 employees, approximately 480 of whom perform services for the Company as well as for certain of its affiliates.
LIFE INSURANCE OPERATIONS
Founded in 1978 and licensed in the state of New York, the Company issues a portfolio of single premium fixed and flexible premium variable annuities. It has an "A+" (Superior) rating from industry analyst A.M. Best Company.
Benefitting from continued strong demographic growth of the preretirement savings market, industry sales of tax-deferred savings products have represented, for a number of years, a significantly larger source of new premiums for the U.S. life insurance industry than have traditional life insurance products. Recognizing the growth potential of this market, the Company focuses its life insurance operations exclusively on the sale of annuities.
Because of its focus on annuity products, which generally have more contractholder transactions than traditional life insurance products, the Company utilizes computer-driven systems that employ optical disk imaging and artificial intelligence, in lieu of paper-intensive life insurance processing procedures. During 1995 the Company relocated its service support center from New York, New York to Los Angeles, California to consolidate operations with its affiliated life insurance companies. The Company believes its service support center and associated cost structure to be among the most competitive in the industry.
The Company markets its fixed and variable annuities through the following distribution channels: (i) independent registered representatives of SunAmerica Securities, Inc. and Royal Alliance Associates, Inc., which are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent; (ii) approximately 190 other securities firms; (iii) banks and other financial institutions; and (iv) independent general insurance agents who specialize in selling fixed annuities and other single premium products. In addition, in June 1994, the Company entered into an exclusive agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase") to develop variable annuity products for sale in the state of New York whose underlying funds will be managed by Chase. The institution will have the right to make these private label variable annuities available through its numerous retail branch networks and distribution channels within New York, beginning in December 1995. In addition, its new variable annuity product will also be available through a number of the broker-dealer and financial planning organizations that currently offer other investment products managed by Chase.
FIXED ANNUITIES
The Company offers single premium deferred annuities that provide one or five-year fixed interest rate guarantees. Although the Company's contracts remain in force an average of seven to ten years, a majority (approximately 46% at September 30, 1995) reprice annually at discretionary rates determined by the Company. In repricing, the Company takes into account yield characteristics of its investment portfolio, annuity surrender assumptions and competitive industry pricing. Its fixed-rate annuity products offer many of the same features as conventional certificates of deposit from financial institutions, giving investors a choice of interest period and yield as well as additional advantages particularly applicable to retirement planning, such as tax-deferred accumulation and flexible payout options. The average new single premium fixed annuity contract sold by the Company amounted to approximately $32,000 in 1995.
The Company designs its fixed-rate products and conducts its investment operations in order to closely match the duration of the assets in its investment portfolio to its annuity obligations. The Company seeks to achieve a predictable spread between what it earns on its assets and what it pays on its liabilities by investing principally in fixed maturities. The Company's fixed-rate products incorporate surrender charges or other limitations on when contracts can be surrendered for cash to encourage persistency. Approximately 92% of the Company's fixed annuity reserves had surrender penalties or other restrictions at September 30, 1995.
VARIABLE ANNUITIES
The Company's variable annuity products offer investors a broad spectrum of fund alternatives, with a choice of investment managers, as well as fixed- rate account options. The Company earns fee income through the sale, administration and management of the variable account options of its variable annuity products. The Company also earns investment income on monies allocated to the fixed-rate account options of these products. Variable annuities offer retirement planning features and surrender charges similar to those offered by fixed annuities, but differ in that the annuity holder's rate of return is generally dependent upon the investment performance of the particular equity, fixed-income, money market or asset allocation fund selected by the contractholder. Because the investment risk is borne by the customer in all but the fixed-rate account options, these products require significantly less capital support than fixed annuities. The average new variable annuity contract sold by the Company amounted to approximately $38,000 in 1995.
INVESTMENT OPERATIONS
The Company believes that its fixed-rate liabilities should be backed by a portfolio principally composed of fixed maturities that generate predictable rates of return. The Company does not have a specific target rate of return. Instead, its rates of return vary over time depending on the current interest rate environment, the slope of the yield curve, the spread at which fixed maturities are priced over the yield curve and general competitive conditions within the industry. The Company manages all of its invested assets internally. Its portfolio strategy is designed to achieve adequate risk-adjusted returns consistent with its investment objectives of effective asset-liability matching, liquidity and safety.
As part of its asset-liability matching discipline, the Company conducts detailed computer simulations that model its fixed-maturity assets and liabilities under commonly used stress-test interest rate scenarios. Based on the results of these computer simulations, the investment portfolio has been constructed with a view to maintaining a desired investment spread between the yield on portfolio assets and the rate paid on its reserves under a variety of possible future interest rate scenarios.
For the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company's yield on average invested assets was 7.59%, 6.54% and 6.17%, respectively, before net realized investment gains and losses, and it realized net investment spreads of 2.70%, 2.24% and 1.40%, respectively, on average invested assets. At September 30, 1995, the weighted average life of the Company's investments was approximately three and three-fourths years and the duration was slightly in excess of three years. Weighted average life is defined as the average time to receipt of all principal, incorporating the effects of scheduled amortization and expected prepayments, weighted by book value. Duration is a common measure for the price sensitivity of a fixed-income security or portfolio to changes in interest rates. It is the weighted average time to receipt of all expected cash flows, both principal and interest, including the effects of scheduled amortization and expected prepayments, in which the weight attached to each year of receipt is the proportion of the present value of cash to be received during that year to the total present value of the portfolio.
The Company's general investment philosophy is to hold fixed maturity assets for long-term investment. Thus, it does not have a trading portfolio. The Company carries the portion of its portfolio of bonds and notes that is available for sale (the "Available for Sale Portfolio") at estimated fair value. The remaining portion of its portfolio of bonds and notes is held for investment and is carried at amortized cost.
The following table summarizes the Company's investment portfolio at September 30, 1995:
SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS
Percent Amortized of cost portfolio ------------ --------- (In thousands) Fixed maturities: Cash and short-term investments $ 6,382 5.2 % U.S. Government securities 39,990 32.6 Mortgage-backed securities 60,558 49.3 Other bonds and notes 10,966 8.9 Mortgage loans 4,733 3.9 ------------ --------- Total 122,629 99.9
Equity securities 112 0.1 ------------ ---------- Total investments $ 122,741 100.0 % ============ ==========
At September 30, 1995, all bonds and notes, including those held for investment and the Available for Sale Portfolio (the "Bond Portfolio"), were rated by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or under comparable statutory rating guidelines established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and implemented by either the NAIC or the Company. At September 30, 1995, approximately $101.7 million (at amortized cost) was rated investment grade by one or both of these agencies or under the NAIC guidelines, including $100.5 million of U.S. Government/agency securities and mortgage backed securities ("MBSs").
At September 30, 1995, the Bond Portfolio included $9.8 million (fair value, $8.4 million) of bonds not rated investment grade by S&P, Moody's or the NAIC. Based on their September 30, 1995 amortized cost, these non-investment- grade bonds accounted for 5.9% of the Company's total assets and 8.0% of its invested assets.
Mortgage loans aggregated $4.7 million at September 30, 1995 and consisted of 2 first mortgage loans collateralized by properties located in California. Both of these loans were multifamily residential loans to the same borrower.
At September 30, 1995, the amortized cost of all investments in default as to the payment of principal or interest totaled $0.7 million (fair value, $0.5 million), constituting 0.6% of total invested assets at amortized cost.

REGULATION
The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the State of New York and the Insurance Commission of the State of New York. Insurance laws establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative and supervisory powers related to granting and revoking licenses to transact business, regulating marketing and other trade practices, operating guaranty associations, licensing agents, approving policy forms, regulating certain premium rates, regulating insurance holding company systems, establishing reserve requirements, prescribing the form and content of required financial statements and reports, performing financial and other examinations, determining the reasonableness and adequacy of statutory capital and surplus, regulating the type and amount of investments permitted, limiting the amount of dividends that can be paid and the size of transactions that can be consummated without first obtaining regulatory approval and other related matters.
During the last decade, the insurance regulatory framework has been placed under increased scrutiny by various states, the federal government and the NAIC. Various states have considered or enacted legislation that changes, and in many cases increases, the states' authority to regulate insurance companies. Legislation has been introduced from time to time in Congress that could result in the federal government assuming some role in the regulation of insurance companies. In recent years, the NAIC has approved and recommended to the states for adoption and implementation several regulatory initiatives designed to reduce the risk of insurance company insolvencies. These initiatives include new investment reserve requirements, risk-based capital standards and restrictions on an insurance company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders. The NAIC is also currently developing model laws to govern insurance company investments. Current proposals are still being debated and the Company is monitoring developments in this area and the effects any changes would have on the Company.
COMPETITION
The business conducted by the Company is highly competitive.
The Company competes with other life insurers, and also competes for customers' funds with a variety of investment products offered by financial services companies other than life insurance companies, such as banks, investment advisers, mutual fund companies and other financial institutions. Within the U.S. life insurance industry, there are approximately 125 companies that individually collect in excess of $150 million of annuity premiums annually. Certain of these companies and other life insurers with which the Company competes are significantly larger and have available to them much greater financial and other resources. The Company believes the primary competitive factors among life insurance companies for investment-oriented insurance products such as annuities include product flexibility, product pricing, innovation in product design, the claims-paying ability rating and the name recognition of the issuing company, the availability of distribution channels and service rendered to the customer before and after a contract is issued. Other factors affecting the annuity business include the benefits (including before-tax and after-tax investment returns) and guarantees provided to the customer and the commissions paid.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's principal office is in leased premises at 733 Third Avenue, 4th Floor New York, New York 10017. The Company, through an affiliate, also leases office space in Los Angeles, California and Torrance, California which is utilized for certain policy administration, recordkeeping and data processing functions.
The Company believes that such properties, including the equipment located therein, are suitable and adequate to meet the requirements of its business.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (the "Company") for the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INCOME BEFORE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES totaled $0.5 million in 1995, compared with $1.1 million in 1994 and $0.9 million in 1993. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting for income taxes resulting from the 1994 implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," amounted to a nonrecurring non-cash charge of $0.7 million. Accordingly, net income amounted to $0.4 million in 1994.
PRETAX INCOME totaled $0.7 million in 1995 and $1.7 million in both 1994 and 1993. The $1.0 million decline in 1995 primarily resulted from net realized investment losses incurred, partially offset by an increase in net investment income.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME, which is the spread between the income earned on invested assets and the interest paid on fixed annuities and other interest- bearing liabilities, increased to $2.8 million in 1995 from $1.9 million in 1994 and $1.2 million in 1993. These amounts represent net investment spreads of 2.70% on average invested assets (computed on a daily basis) of $103.2 million in 1995, 2.24% on average invested assets of $84.5 million in 1994 and 1.40% on average invested assets of $82.7 million in 1993. Net investment spreads include the effect of income earned on the excess of average invested assets over average interest-bearing liabilities. The difference between the Company's yield on average invested assets and the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities was 1.69% in 1995, 1.13% in 1994 and 0.02% in 1993. Net investment income has increased over the three years due to both higher levels of average invested assets and an increase in the portfolio yield.
Investment income totaled $7.8 million in 1995, $5.5 million in 1994 and $5.1 million in 1993. Investment income increased in 1995 primarily as a result of an increase in investment yield on a higher level of average invested assets. The modest increase in investment income in 1994 over 1993 primarily resulted from an increase in overall portfolio yield as the Company reduced its average level of lower-yielding short-term investments. The yield on average invested assets increased to 7.59% in 1995 from 6.54% in 1994 and 6.17% in 1993. Over the last three fiscal years, the Company's quarterly investment yields on average invested assets have ranged from 5.85% to 7.81%; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve similar yields in future periods.
The increased investment yield in 1995 reflects the higher interest rates prevailing during the latter half of 1994 and into fiscal 1995. In addition, the net cash provided by the Company's operating and financing activities and the cash flows from redemptions and maturities of securities in the Company's investment portfolio was invested in higher yielding instruments.
Total interest expense aggregated $5.0 million in 1995, $3.6 million in 1994 and $3.9 million in 1993. The average rate paid on fixed annuity contracts was 5.90% in 1995, compared with 5.41% in 1994 and 6.15% in 1993. Fixed annuity contracts averaged $85.5 million in 1995, compared with $67.2 million in 1994 and $64.1 million in 1993. The increase in the average rate paid on fixed annuities during 1995 primarily resulted from increased average crediting rates on the Company's new fixed annuity contracts relative to those issued in 1994 to maintain a generally competitive market rate in a higher interest rate environment. The decrease in the average rate paid on fixed annuities during 1994 was primarily due to a decline in prevailing interest rates that began during the latter half of fiscal 1992 and continued into the first half of fiscal 1994.
NET REALIZED INVESTMENT LOSSES totaled $1.3 million in 1995, compared with net realized investment gains of $0.4 million in 1994 and $1.9 million in 1993, and represent 1.31%, 0.53% and 2.34%, respectively, of average invested assets. Net realized investment losses in 1995 include $1.2 million of net losses realized on $46.3 million of sales of mortgage backed securities ("MBSs") that were made primarily to maximize total return. Net gains in 1994 and 1993 are also related to sales of MBSs that were made primarily to maximize total return.
VARIABLE ANNUITY FEES are based on the market value of assets supporting variable annuity contracts in separate accounts. Such fees totaled $0.4 million in both 1995 and 1994 and $0.2 million in 1993. Variable annuity fees have increased over the three years principally due to asset growth from the receipt of variable annuity premiums and, during 1995, from increased market values. Variable annuity assets averaged $27.8 million during 1995, $26.1 million during 1994 and $16.5 million during 1993. Variable annuity premiums, which exclude premiums allocated to the fixed accounts of variable annuity products, totaled $5.9 million in 1995, $5.7 million in 1994 and $14.5 million in 1993. The decline in premiums from 1993 to 1994 can be attributed, in part, to a heightened demand for fixed-rate investment options, including the fixed accounts of variable annuities. The Company has encountered increased competition in the variable annuity marketplace during 1995 and 1994 and anticipates that the market will remain highly competitive for the foreseeable future.
SURRENDER CHARGES on fixed and variable annuities totaled $194,000 in 1995, compared with $367,000 in 1994 and $44,000 in 1993. Surrender charges generally are assessed on annuity withdrawals at declining rates during the first five to seven years of the contract. Withdrawal payments, which include surrenders and lump-sum annuity benefits, totaled $17.7 million in 1995, $12.9 million in 1994 and $2.9 million in 1993. These payments represent 16.93%, 15.04% and 3.85%, respectively, of average fixed and variable annuity reserves. Withdrawals include variable annuity payments from the separate accounts totaling $3.6 million in 1995, $2.4 million in 1994 and $0.4 million in 1993. Both fixed and variable annuity surrenders increased from the unusually low rates of prior years to more normal levels during 1994 and 1995, due to anticipated higher surrenders as the annuity block has matured. Management anticipates that withdrawal rates will remain relatively stable for the foreseeable future and the Company's investment portfolio has been structured to provide sufficient liquidity for anticipated withdrawals.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES totaled $1.1 million in 1995, compared with $1.0 million in 1994 and $1.1 million in 1993. General and administrative expenses remain closely controlled through a company-wide cost containment program and represent approximately 1% of average total assets.
AMORTIZATION OF DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS increased during 1995 to $0.3 million primarily due to additional fixed and variable annuity sales and the subsequent amortization of related deferred commissions and other acquisition costs. There was no amortization in 1994 and $0.2 million in 1993. The decrease in amortization of deferred acquisition costs from 1993 to 1994 is primarily due to the decline in net realized investment gains which are included in gross profits for purposes of computing amortization.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE totaled $0.2 million in 1995, $0.7 million in 1994 and $0.8 million in 1993, representing effective tax rates of 26% in 1995, 38% in 1994 and 49% in 1993. The higher tax rate in 1993 reflects the payment of state income taxes relating to net realized investment gains recorded in 1992. The lower tax rate in 1995 reflects a prior period state income tax benefit.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY increased by $2.0 million to $21.8 million at September 30, 1995 from $19.8 million at September 30, 1994, primarily as a result of the $1.5 million reduction of net unrealized losses on debt and equity securities available for sale charged directly to shareholders equity and net income of $0.5 million in 1995.
TOTAL ASSETS increased by $49.1 million to $163.2 million at September 30, 1995 from $114.1 million at September 30, 1994, principally due to a $42.3 million increase in invested assets and a $6.4 million increase in the separate accounts for variable annuities.
INVESTED ASSETS at year end totaled $121.2 million in 1995, compared with $78.9 million in 1994. This increase primarily resulted from sales of fixed annuity contracts which totaled $51.7 million in 1995, up from $7.8 million in 1994 and $9.1 million in 1993. The increase in fixed annuity premiums during 1995 reflects generally heightened demand for fixed-rate products in 1995 relative to the comparable 1994 periods. This heightened demand may be attributed, in part, to the increase in prevailing long-term interest rates that began during the latter half of the 1994 fiscal year and continued into the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
The Company manages all of its invested assets internally. The Company's general investment philosophy is to hold fixed maturity assets for long-term investment. Thus, it does not have a trading portfolio. The Company carries the portion of its portfolio of bonds and notes that is available for sale (the "Available for Sale Portfolio") at estimated fair value. The remaining portion of its portfolio of bonds and notes is held for investment and is carried at amortized cost.
BONDS AND NOTES, including those held for investment and the Available for Sale Portfolio (the "Bond Portfolio"), at September 30, 1995, had an aggregate amortized cost that exceeded its fair value by $1.5 million (including net unrealized losses of $1.4 million on the Available for Sale Portfolio). The fair value of the Bond Portfolio was $5.9 million below its amortized cost at September 30, 1994 (including net unrealized losses of $5.7 million on the Available for Sale Portfolio). The decrease in net unrealized losses on the Bond Portfolio since September 30, 1994 principally reflects the lower relative prevailing interest rates at September 30, 1995 and their corresponding effect on the fair value of the Bond Portfolio.
The entire Bond Portfolio at September 30, 1995 was rated by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or under comparable statutory rating guidelines established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and implemented by either the NAIC or the Company. At September 30, 1995, approximately $101.7 million (at amortized cost) was rated investment grade by one or both of these agencies or under the NAIC guidelines, including $100.5 million of U.S. government/agency securities and MBSs.
At September 30, 1995, the Bond Portfolio included $9.8 million (fair value, $8.4 million) of bonds not rated investment grade by S&P, Moody's or the NAIC. Based on their September 30, 1995 amortized cost, these non-investment- grade bonds accounted for 5.9% of the Company's total assets and 8.0% of invested assets.
Non-investment-grade securities generally provide higher yields and involve greater risks than investment-grade securities because their issuers typically are more highly leveraged and more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions than investment-grade issuers. In addition, the trading market for these securities is usually more limited than for investment-grade securities. The Company intends that its holdings of such securities not exceed current levels, but its policies may change from time to time, including in connection with any possible acquisition. The Company had no material concentrations of non-investment-grade securities at September 30, 1995.
The table on the following page summarizes the Company's rated bonds by rating classification as of September 30, 1995.
Summary of Rated Bonds (In thousands)
MORTGAGE LOANS aggregated $4.7 million at September 30, 1995 and consisted of 2 first mortgage loans collateralized by properties located in California. Both of these loans were multifamily residential loans to the same borrower. At the time of their purchase by the Company, these mortgage loans had loan-to-value ratios of 75% or less. At September 30, 1995, neither loan was delinquent. No mortgage loans were foreclosed upon during fiscal years 1995, 1994 or 1993.
ASSET-LIABILITY MATCHING is utilized by the Company to minimize the risks of interest rate fluctuations and disintermediation. The Company believes that its fixed-rate liabilities should be backed by a portfolio principally composed of fixed maturities that generate predictable rates of return. The Company does not have a specific target rate of return. Instead, its rates of return vary over time depending on the current interest rate environment, the slope of the yield curve, the spread at which fixed maturities are priced over the yield curve and general competitive conditions within the industry. Its portfolio strategy is designed to achieve adequate risk-adjusted returns consistent with its investment objectives of effective asset-liability matching, liquidity and safety.
The Company designs its fixed-rate products and conducts its investment operations in order to closely match the duration of the assets in its investment portfolio to its annuity obligations. The Company seeks to achieve a predictable spread between what it earns on its assets and what it pays on its liabilities by investing principally in fixed maturities. The Company's fixed-rate products incorporate surrender charges or other limitations on when contracts can be surrendered for cash to encourage persistency. Approximately 92% of the Company's fixed annuity reserves had surrender penalties or other restrictions at September 30, 1995.
As part of its asset-liability matching discipline, the Company conducts detailed computer simulations that model its fixed-maturity assets and liabilities under commonly used stress-test interest rate scenarios. Based on the results of these computer simulations, the investment portfolio has been constructed with a view to maintaining a desired investment spread between the yield on portfolio assets and the rate paid on its reserves under a variety of possible future interest rate scenarios. At September 30, 1995, the weighted average life of the Company's investments was approximately three and three- fourths years and the duration was slightly in excess of three years.
The Company also seeks to provide liquidity and enhance its spread income by using reverse repurchase agreements ("Reverse Repos"), and by investing in MBSs. Reverse Repos involve a sale of securities and an agreement to repurchase the same securities at a later date at an agreed upon price and are generally over-collateralized. MBSs are generally investment-grade securities collateralized by large pools of mortgage loans. MBSs generally pay principal and interest monthly. The amount of principal and interest payments may fluctuate as a result of prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans.
There are risks associated with some of the techniques the Company uses to enhance its spread income and match its assets and liabilities. The primary risk associated with Reverse Repos is the risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. The Company believes, however, that the counterparties to its Reverse Repos are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk associated with those transactions is minimal. The primary risk associated with MBSs is that a changing interest rate environment might cause prepayment of the underlying obligations at speeds slower or faster than anticipated at the time of their purchase.
INVESTED ASSETS EVALUATION routinely includes a review by the Company of its portfolio of debt securities. Management identifies monthly those investments that require additional monitoring and carefully reviews the carrying value of such investments at least quarterly to determine whether specific investments should be placed on a nonaccrual basis and to determine declines in value that may be other than temporary. In making these reviews for bonds, management principally considers the adequacy of collateral (if any), compliance with contractual covenants, the borrower's recent financial performance, news reports and other externally generated information concerning the creditor's affairs. In the case of publicly traded bonds, management also considers market value quotations, if available. For mortgage loans, management generally considers information concerning the mortgaged property and, among other things, factors impacting the current and expected payment status of the loan and, if available, the current fair value of the underlying collateral.
The carrying values of bonds that are determined to have declines in value that are other than temporary are reduced to net realizable value and no further accruals of interest are made. If needed, mortgage loan valuation allowances would be based on losses expected by management to be realized on transfers of mortgage loans to real estate, on the disposition and settlement of mortgage loans and on mortgage loans that management believes may not be collectible in full. Accrual of interest is suspended when principal and interest payments on mortgage loans are past due more than 90 days.
DEFAULTED INVESTMENTS, comprising all investments (at amortized cost) that are in default as to the payment of principal or interest, totaled $0.7 million (fair value, $0.5 million) at September 30, 1995. At September 30, 1995, defaulted investments constituted 0.6% of total invested assets at amortized cost. At September 30, 1994, there were no defaulted investments.
SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY are readily available to the Company in the form of existing cash and short-term investments, Reverse Repo capacity on invested assets and, if required, proceeds from invested asset sales. At September 30, 1995, approximately $60.5 million of the Company's Bond Portfolio had an aggregate unrealized gain of $0.6 million, while approximately $51.0 million of the Bond Portfolio had an aggregate unrealized loss of $2.1 million. In addition, the Company's investment portfolio also currently provides approximately $1.5 million of monthly cash flow from scheduled principal and interest payments.
Management is aware that prevailing market interest rates may shift significantly and has strategies in place to manage either an increase or decrease in prevailing rates. In a rising interest rate environment, the Company's average cost of funds would increase over time as it prices its new and renewing annuities to maintain a generally competitive market rate. Management would seek to place new funds in investments that were matched in duration to, and higher yielding than, the liabilities assumed. The Company believes that liquidity to fund withdrawals would be available through incoming cash flow, the sale of short-term or floating-rate instruments or Reverse Repos on the Company's substantial MBS segment of the Bond Portfolio, thereby avoiding the sale of fixed-rate assets in an unfavorable bond market.
In a declining rate environment, the Company's cost of funds would decrease over time, reflecting lower interest crediting rates on its fixed annuities. Should increased liquidity be required for withdrawals, the Company believes that a significant portion of its investments could be sold without adverse consequences in light of the general strengthening that would be expected in the bond market.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related income statement and statement of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company at September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 6, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in fiscal 1994.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL: First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company (the "Company") is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc. (the "Parent"). Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
INVESTMENTS: Cash and short-term investments primarily include cash, commercial paper, money market investments, repurchase agreements and short-term bank participations. All such investments are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value, have maturities of three months or less and are considered cash equivalents for purposes of reporting cash flows. Bonds and notes available for sale and common stocks are carried at aggregate fair value and changes in unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, are credited or charged directly to shareholder's equity. It is management's intent, and the Company has the ability, to hold the remainder of bonds and notes until maturity, and, therefore, these investments are carried at amortized cost. Bonds and notes, whether available for sale or held for investment, are reduced to estimated net realizable value when necessary for declines in value considered to be other than temporary. Estimates of net realizable value are subjective and actual realization will be dependent upon future events. Mortgage loans are carried at amortized unpaid balances, net of provisions for estimated losses. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification method. Premiums and discounts on investments are amortized to investment income using the interest method over the contractual lives of the investments.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS: Policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized, with interest, over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits, which are composed of net interest income, net realized investment gains and losses, variable annuity fees, surrender charges and direct administrative expenses. Deferred acquisition costs consist of commissions and other costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production or acquisition of new business.
As debt and equity securities available for sale are carried at aggregate fair value, an adjustment is made to deferred acquisition costs equal to the change in amortization that would have been recorded if such securities had been sold at their stated aggregate fair value and the proceeds reinvested at current yields. The change in this adjustment, net of tax, is included with the change in net unrealized gains or losses on debt and equity securities available for sale that is credited or charged directly to shareholder's equity. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, deferred acquisition costs have been increased by $200,000 and $2,100,000, respectively, for this adjustment.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
VARIABLE ANNUITY ASSETS AND LIABILITIES: The assets and liabilities resulting from the receipt of variable annuity premiums are segregated in separate accounts. The Company receives fees for assuming mortality and certain expense risks. Such fees are included in Variable Annuity Fee Income in the income statement.
GOODWILL: Goodwill, amounting to $879,000 at September 30, 1995, is amortized by using the straight-line method over a period of 25 years and is included in Other Assets in the balance sheet.
CONTRACTHOLDER RESERVES: Contractholder reserves for fixed annuity contracts are accounted for as investment-type contracts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 97, "Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments," and are recorded at accumulated value (premiums received, plus accrued interest, less withdrawals and assessed fees).
FEE INCOME: Variable annuity fees are recognized in income as earned.
INCOME TAXES: The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of the Parent and files as a "life insurance company" under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Income taxes have been calculated as if the Company filed a separate return. Effective October 1, 1993, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the difference between financial statement carrying amounts and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates and laws.

3. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following estimated fair value disclosures are limited to the reasonable estimates of the fair value of only the Company's financial instruments. The disclosures do not address the value of the Company's recognized and unrecognized nonfinancial assets (including equity investments) and liabilities or the value of anticipated future business. The Company does not plan to sell most of its assets or settle most of its liabilities at these estimated fair values.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Selling expenses and potential taxes are not included. The estimated fair value amounts were determined using available market information, current pricing information and various valuation methodologies. If quoted market prices were not readily available for a financial instrument, management determined an estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the financial instruments could be exchanged for in a current or future market transaction.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3. DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
CASH AND SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS: Carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
BONDS AND NOTES: Fair value is based principally on independent pricing services, broker quotes and other independent information.
MORTGAGE LOANS: Fair values are primarily determined by discounting future cash flows to the present at current market rates, using expected prepayment rates and further discounting for current market factors.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ASSETS: Variable annuity assets are carried at the market value of the underlying securities.
RESERVES FOR FIXED ANNUITY CONTRACTS: Deferred annuity contracts are assigned fair value equal to current net surrender value. Annuitized contracts are valued based on the present value of future cash flows at current pricing rates.
VARIABLE ANNUITY LIABILITIES: Fair values of contracts in the accumulation phase are based on net surrender values. Fair values of contracts in the payout phase are based on the present value of future cash flows at assumed investment rates.
