GE LIFE AND ANNUITY ASSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY

 

Notes to Condensed, Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed, consolidated quarterly financial statements represent GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company and its consolidated subsidiary, Assigned Settlement, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” unless the context otherwise` requires). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

We principally offer annuity contracts, guaranteed investment contracts, funding agreements, and life insurance policies. We do business in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York.

 

We label our quarterly information using a calendar convention, that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is our practice to establish actual interim closing dates using a “fiscal” calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. The effects of this practice are modest and only exist within a reporting year.

 

The accompanying condensed, consolidated quarterly financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC “). These condensed, consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flow for the periods presented. The results reported in these condensed, consolidated quarterly financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The condensed, consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as of December 31, 2003. (SEC File Number 333-69620). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

2. Change in Ownership

 

On May 24, 2004, GE Financial Assurance Holdings, Inc. (“GEFAHI”) transferred substantially all of its assets to Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth”), including all of the outstanding capital stock of GNA Corporation (“GNA”), our indirect parent, and 800 shares of our common stock that GEFAHI had held directly. As a result, we became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Genworth. On May 25, 2004, Genworth’s Class A common stock began trading on The New York Stock Exchange. Approximately 30% of Genworth’s common stock is now owned by public shareholders. GEFAHI continues to own approximately 70% of Genworth’s common stock.

 

On May 31, 2004, (1) Genworth contributed to GNA and GNA in turn contributed to General Electric Capital Assurance Company (“GECA”) 800 shares of our common stock and (2) Federal Home Life Insurance Company paid a dividend to GECA consisting of 2,378 shares of our common stock. As a result of the foregoing contribution and dividend, we became a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of GECA while remaining an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Genworth.
