4 TO OUR MEMBERS It takes determination for a company to thrive for 140 years. Our company endures because we have set a long-term course with the flexibility to adapt to unforeseen changes. Our financial strength and our mutual structure translate to security for Pacific Life Insurance Company s policyholders and allow us the ability to make smart choices for the long term. In 2007, we are pleased to have achieved our objectives, and we remain right on course. In spite of the unstable financial markets, our company grew stronger in 2007, while other financial institutions were significantly weakened by losses emanating from the mortgage crisis. Our disciplined approach allowed us to avoid most of those losses and complete the year with results that were among the best in our history. We crossed an important milestone early in the year when we passed $100 billion in assets. This represents a proud accomplishment, is symbolic of our leadership in our markets, and reminds us of our responsibility to the individuals and businesses that rely on us for their financial security. We remain right on course by providing solutions to help individuals and businesses prepare financially for life s changing needs. Prominent needs arise from individuals planning for retirement, the passing of a family business from one generation to the next, or the unexpected loss of a family member. Significant growth and innovation took place on several fronts at Pacific Life in Annuity sales were up 12 percent over In most of these sales, clients used Portfolio Optimization, a leading asset allocation service, and chose a withdrawal benefit that can guarantee income for one s lifetime, regardless of the performance of the underlying assets. The distribution of our products through relationships we have with banks, financial planners, insurance professionals, and stock brokerage firms enables us to provide our products to communities across America. We value these relationships and those who so professionally represent our products in the marketplace FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Total consolidated assets of Pacific Mutual Holding Company reached $111 billion, up 12 percent from Equity of Pacific Mutual Holding Company reached $6.3 billion, compared with $5.7 billion from the previous year. Sales in the Life Insurance Division were $293 million, compared with $308 million in Sales in the Annuities & Mutual Funds Division were $11.3 billion, compared with $9.9 billion in Revenues in the Investment Management Division were $1.1 billion. Revenues in the Aviation Capital Group were $611 million, compared with $563 million in I am proud of our services, including industry-leading technology in the form of Web sites and other tools to help clients keep track of their policies and annuities. In 2007, Pacific Life launched Planned Performance Tracking, an innovative online service to help financial professionals keep their clients life insurance policies on track toward their financial security goals. It has been well received and is another example of our taking the long-term view by investing in capabilities that will help clients meet their long-term goals. 2 PACIFIC MUTUAL

5 JAMES T. MORRIS President and Chief Executive Officer Right on Course: Celebrating 140 years in business and $111 billion in assets under management. Being right on course means being positioned to take advantage of new opportunities. In 2007, Pacific Life launched two significant ventures: a business development team that is investigating new insurance opportunities, such as new retirement products and long-term care insurance; and a new investment management operation, Pacific Asset Management, that will take fixed income asset management expertise which we use to manage our company s general account and will leverage that expertise in managing third-party assets. And being right on course sometimes means selling a business to increase focus and resources elsewhere. In 2007, Pacific Life sold four of its broker-dealers, including three to Linsco/Private Ledger Corp., a company that is the largest in its field and is a broker-dealer with which we enjoy a very strong and long-term relationship. The fourth was sold to the management of that broker-dealer. I wish to thank the management and employees of those broker-dealers for their dedicated service while they were part of our organization. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In 2007, Thomas C. Sutton retired after 43 years of service to the company, including 17 years as CEO. I can t think of a person in our industry who is more respected or admired than Tom. It has been my privilege to work with him throughout my own 25-year career with Pacific Life. Tom continues to serve as a director, and we appreciate having his insight on important business matters. Our senior vice president and general counsel, David R. Carmichael, retired at the end of 2007, following 30 years of outstanding service to Pacific Life, including the last 15 years as general counsel. We thank him for his many years of dedication. David E.I. Pyott left his position on the board in We thank him for his contributions. Dean A. Yoost was elected to the boards of Pacific Mutual Holding Company and Pacific LifeCorp in August Mr. Yoost retired as a senior partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2005, following a distinguished 32-year career. We value the breadth of knowledge that Mr. Yoost brings to our boards. We are proud of our history and encouraged by our continuing progress. We are strongly capitalized, maintain strong financial strength ratings, and are open to pursuing business opportunities that are right for our future course. We remain committed to serving you, our policyholders, by staying right on course as a strong and reliable company that you can count on Report to Members 3

10 Pacific Mutual Holding Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Pacific Mutual Holding Company (PMHC) is a Nebraska mutual holding company organized pursuant to consent received from the California Department of Insurance and the implementation of a plan of conversion to form a mutual holding company structure in 1997 (the Conversion). The Conversion created PMHC and Pacific LifeCorp, an intermediate Delaware stock holding company. Pacific LifeCorp owns 100% of Pacific Life Insurance Company (Pacific Life), a Nebraska domiciled stock life insurance company. Pacific Life transferred its legal domicile from the State of California to the State of Nebraska effective September 1, PMHC transferred its state of legal domicile from the State of California to the State of Nebraska, effective June 29, 2007, to reunite PMHC and Pacific Life under one regulatory authority. Prior to October 2006, PMHC owned 98% of Pacific LifeCorp. The remaining 2% ownership was held by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) within a Retirement Incentive Savings Plan (RISP) provided by Pacific Life, pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (Note 16). As a result of Pacific LifeCorp s buyback of the outstanding allocated and unallocated shares from the ESOP in October 2006, Pacific LifeCorp became a wholly owned subsidiary of PMHC. PMHC and its subsidiaries and affiliates have primary business operations consisting of life insurance, individual annuities, mutual funds, pension and institutional products, and aircraft leasing. Pacific Life s primary business operations provide life insurance products, individual annuities and mutual funds, and offer to individuals, businesses, and pension plans a variety of investment products and services. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements of PMHC and its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of PMHC and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) in which the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Included in other liabilities is minority interest of $214 million and $107 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Pacific Life prepares its regulatory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Nebraska Department of Insurance (NE DOI), which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP (Note 2). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 8 PACIFIC MUTUAL

11 In developing these estimates, management makes subjective and complex judgments that are inherently uncertain and subject to material change as facts and circumstances develop. Management has identified the following estimates as significant, as they involve a higher degree of judgment and are subject to a significant degree of variability: The fair value of investments in the absence of quoted market values Investment impairments Application of the consolidation rules to certain investments The fair value of and accounting for derivatives Aircraft valuation and impairment The capitalization and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) The liability for future policyholder benefits Accounting for income taxes and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities and unrecognized tax benefits Accounting for reinsurance transactions Litigation and other contingencies Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 and 2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2007 financial statement presentation. The most significant conforming reclassification was reflecting the Company s broker-dealer operations as a discontinued operation (Note 6). RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective December 31, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial condition and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Company s adoption of SFAS No. 158 resulted in a reduction to other comprehensive income (OCI) of $20 million, net of taxes. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No FIN 48 presents a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There is a two-step evaluation process. The first step is recognition and a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained. The second step is measurement. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold should be measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements, and therefore, there was no cumulative effect related to the adoption of FIN 48. Effective May 2, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48. This FSP amends FIN 48 to provide guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. This statement is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48 with retrospective application if the provisions of this FSP were not previously applied. The adoption of this FSP had no impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements, and therefore, there was no retrospective adjustment Report to Members 9

12 Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No SFAS No. 155 (i) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (ii) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133; (iii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (iv) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and (v) amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity (SPE) from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts. This SOP provides guidance on accounting for DAC on internal replacements on insurance and investment contracts other than those described in SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments. SOP 05-1 defines an internal replacement as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occur by the exchange of a contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to a contract, or by the election of a feature or coverage within a contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, In addition, in February 2007, the AICPA issued related Technical Practice Aids (TPAs) to provide further clarification of SOP The TPAs became effective concurrently with the adoption of SOP The adoption of SOP 05-1 and the related TPAs resulted in a reduction to DAC and the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $29 million, net of taxes, which was recorded as a reduction to members equity. In April 2006, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46(R)-6, Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This FSP addresses how an entity determines the variability to be considered in applying FIN 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46(R)). The variability affects the determination of whether an entity is a VIE, which interests are variable interests in an entity, and which party is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. That variability affects any calculation of expected losses and expected residual returns, if such a calculation is necessary. FSP FIN 46(R)-6 was effective for the Company beginning July 1, Adoption did not impact the Company s consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as changes required by a new accounting pronouncement. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to a newly adopted accounting principle. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FSP SFAS No and SFAS No , The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The guidance within this FSP is applicable to debt and equity securities that are within the scope of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. This FSP nullifies certain requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments, regarding the recognition of other than temporary impairments and restores the guidance for 10 PACIFIC MUTUAL

13 determination of other than temporary impairment to SFAS No. 115, EITF Issue No , Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. This FSP adopts the disclosure requirements of EITF Issue No For other than temporarily impaired debt securities, the investor will account for the debt security as if the debt security was purchased on the measurement date of the other than temporary impairment. The discount recorded for the debt security will be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as a yield adjustment. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements. Under FIN 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, the consolidation requirements for the Company s VIEs, created prior to December 31, 2003, were applied effective January 1, The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) VIE of high-yield debt securities that it sponsored in 1998 (Note 4). In accordance with the transition provisions of FIN 46(R), the Company increased assets $67 million, liabilities $65 million, including non-recourse debt of $62 million, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) $4 million and decreased net income by $2 million as a cumulative adjustment due to a change in accounting principle upon the adoption of FIN 46(R). FUTURE ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 improves the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a company provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective beginning January 1, The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective beginning January 1, The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 141(R) on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39. FSP FIN 39-1 amends FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, to permit a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement that have been offset in accordance with FIN 39. FSP FIN 39-1 also amends FIN 39 for certain terminology modifications. This statement permits offsetting of fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective beginning January 1, 2008 and adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. This statement is effective beginning January 1, Adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have any impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements Report to Members 11

14 In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement creates a common definition of fair value to be used throughout U.S. GAAP. SFAS No. 157 will apply whenever another standard requires or permits assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, with certain exceptions. The standard establishes a hierarchy for determining fair value, which emphasizes the use of observable market data whenever available. The statement also requires expanded disclosures, which include the extent to which assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. This statement is effective beginning January 1, Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company s consolidated financial statements. INVESTMENTS Fixed maturity and equity securities available for sale are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes and adjustments related to DAC and future policy benefits, recorded as a component of OCI. For mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities (ABS) included in fixed maturity securities available for sale, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on anticipated prepayments and the estimated economic life of the securities. When estimates of prepayments change, the effective yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. For fixed rate securities, the net investment in the securities is adjusted to the amount that would have existed had the new effective yield been applied since the acquisition of the securities. These adjustments are reflected in net investment income. Trading securities are reported at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value included in net realized investment gain (loss). Investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends, net investment income from partnership interests, prepayment fees on fixed maturity securities and mortgage loans, and income from certain derivatives. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on fixed maturity securities is recorded using the effective interest method. The estimated fair value of fixed maturity and equity securities is generally obtained from independent pricing services. For fixed maturity securities not able to be priced by independent services (generally private placement and low volume traded securities), an internally developed matrix is used. The matrix utilizes the fair market yield curves, provided by a major independent data service, which determines the discount yield based upon the security s weighted average life, rating, and liquidity spread. The estimated fair value of the security is calculated as the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the yield determined above. For those securities not priced externally or by the matrix, the estimated fair value is internally determined, utilizing various techniques in valuing complex investments with variable cash flows. Equity securities available for sale include common stocks that have a readily determinable fair value and perpetual perferred stocks. The following table identifies the estimated fair value of fixed maturity securities by pricing sources: DECEMBER 31, 2007 DECEMBER 31, 2006 Fixed Maturities at % of Estimated Fixed Maturities at % of Estimated (In Millions) Estimated Fair Value Fair Value Estimated Fair Value Fair Value Independent market quotations $ 20, % $ 20, % Matrix-priced 5, % 5, % Other methods 1, % % $ 27, % $ 26, % The matrix-priced securities primarily consist of private placements and have an average duration of four and a half years as of December 31, 2007 and PACIFIC MUTUAL

15 The Company assesses whether other than temporary impairments have occurred based upon the Company s case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in estimated fair value. All securities with a gross unrealized loss at the consolidated statement of financial condition date are subjected to the Company s process for identifying other than temporary impairments. The Company considers a wide range of factors, as described below, about the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in the estimated fair value of the security and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery. Inherent in the Company s evaluation of each security are assumptions and estimates about the operations of the issuer and its future earnings potential. Considerations used by the Company in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to, the following: The duration and extent that the estimated fair value has been below net carrying amount Industry factors or conditions related to a geographic area that are negatively affecting the security Underlying valuation of assets specifically pledged to support the credit Past due interest or principal payments or other violation of covenants Deterioration of the overall financial condition of the specific issuer Downgrades by a rating agency Ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time to allow for a recovery of value Fundamental analysis of the liquidity and financial condition of the specific issuer Also, the Company estimates the cash flows over the life of certain purchased beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. Based upon current information and events, if the estimated fair value of its beneficial interests is less than or equal to its net carrying amount and if there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows since the last revised estimate, considering both timing and amount, then an other than temporary impairment is recognized. Securities and purchased beneficial interests that are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired are written down to estimated fair value in the period the securities or purchased beneficial interest are deemed to be impaired. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in net realized investment gain (loss). The Company also includes other than temporary impairment write-downs in net realized investment gain (loss). Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at their unpaid principal balance, net of deferred origination fees, valuation allowances and write-downs. Mortgage loans are considered to be impaired when management estimates that based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage loan agreement. For mortgage loans deemed to be impaired, a valuation allowance is established for the difference between the carrying amount and the Company s estimate of the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the current market rate. Changes to the valuation allowance are recorded in net realized investment gain (loss). Policy loans are stated at unpaid principal balances. Other investments primarily consist of partnership and joint ventures, real estate investments, derivative instruments, non marketable equity securities, and low income housing related investments qualifying for tax credits (LIHTC). Partnership and joint venture interests where the Company does not have a controlling interest or majority ownership are recorded under the cost or equity method of accounting depending on the equity ownership position. Real estate investments are carried at depreciated cost, net of write-downs, or, for real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, estimated fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of acquisition, if lower than the related unpaid balance Report to Members 13

16 All derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded at estimated fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in OCI and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative and the hedged item are recognized in net realized investment gain (loss). The change in value of the hedged item associated with the risk being hedged is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item. For derivative instruments not designated as hedges, the change in estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in net realized investment gain (loss). Estimated fair value exposure is calculated based on the aggregate estimated fair value of all derivative instruments with each counterparty, net of collateral received, in accordance with legally enforceable counterparty master netting agreements (Note 10). The periodic cash flows for all hedging derivatives are recorded consistent with the hedged item on an accrual basis. For derivatives that are hedging securities, these amounts are included in net investment income. For derivatives that are hedging liabilities, these amounts are included in interest credited to policyholder account balances. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, the periodic cash flows are reflected in net realized investment gain (loss) on an accrual basis. Upon termination of a cash flow hedging relationship, the accumulated amount in OCI is amortized into net investment income or interest credited to policyholder account balances over the remaining life of the hedged item. Upon termination of a fair value hedging relationship, the accumulated cost basis adjustment to the hedged item is amortized into net investment income or interest credited to policyholder account balances over its remaining life. Investments in LIHTC are recorded under either the effective interest method, if they meet certain requirements, including a projected positive yield based solely on guaranteed credits, or are recorded under the equity method if these certain requirements are not met. For investments in LIHTC recorded under the effective interest method, the amortization of the original investment and the tax credits are recorded in the provision for income taxes. For investments in LIHTC recorded under the equity method, the amortization of the initial investment is included in net investment income, and the related tax credits are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The amortization recorded in net investment income was $20 million, $24 million and $23 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include all investments with an original maturity of three months or less. RESTRICTED CASH Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits, commitment fees, maintenance reserve payments, supplemental rental payments and rental payments received from certain lessees related to the aircraft leasing business. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS The costs of acquiring new insurance business, principally commissions, medical examinations, underwriting, policy issue and other expenses, all of which vary with and are primarily associated with the production of new business, are deferred and recorded as an asset commonly referred to as DAC. DAC related to internally replaced contracts (as defined by SOP 05-1), is immediately written off to expense and any new deferrable expenses associated with the replacement are deferred if the contract modification substantially changes the contract. However, if the contract modification does not substantially change the contract, the existing DAC asset remains in place and any acquisition costs associated with the modification are immediately expensed. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the carrying value of DAC was $4.5 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively (Note 7). 14 PACIFIC MUTUAL

17 For universal life (UL), variable annuities and other investment-type contracts, acquisition costs are amortized through earnings in proportion to the present value of estimated gross profits (EGPs) from projected investment, mortality and expense margins, and surrender charges over the estimated lives of the contracts. Actual gross margins or profits may vary from management s estimates, which can increase or decrease the rate of DAC amortization. DAC related to traditional policies is amortized through earnings over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues recognized, using assumptions and estimates consistent with those used in computing policy reserves. DAC related to certain unrealized components in OCI, primarily unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, is recorded directly to equity through OCI. Significant assumptions in the development of EGPs include investment returns, surrender and lapse rates, rider utilization, interest spreads, and mortality margins. The Company s long-term assumption for the underlying separate account investment return ranges up to 8.0%. A change in the assumptions utilized to develop EGPs results in a change to amounts expensed in the reporting period in which the change was made by adjusting the DAC balance to the level DAC would have been had the EGPs been calculated using the new assumptions over the entire amortization period. In general, favorable experience variances result in increased expected future profitability and may lower the rate of DAC amortization, whereas unfavorable experience variances result in decreased expected future profitability and may increase the rate of DAC amortization. All critical assumptions utilized to develop EGPs are evaluated at least annually and necessary revisions are made to future EGPs to the extent that actual or anticipated experience necessitates a prospective change (Note 7). The Company defers sales inducements and amortizes them over the life of the policy using the same methodology and assumptions used to amortize DAC. The Company offers a sales inducement to the policyholder where the policyholder receives a bonus credit, typically ranging from 4.0% to 5.0% of each deposit. The capitalized sales inducement balances included in the DAC asset were $552 million and $538 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. AIRCRAFT LEASING PORTFOLIO Aviation Capital Group Corp. (ACG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific LifeCorp, is engaged in the acquisition and leasing of commercial jet aircraft. Aircraft are recorded at cost, which includes certain acquisition and closing costs, principally legal fees, less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements to aircraft are capitalized when incurred. The Company evaluates carrying values of aircraft based upon changes in market and other physical and economic conditions and will record write-offs to recognize a loss in the value of the aircraft when management believes that, based on estimated future cash flows, the recoverability of the Company s investment in an aircraft has been impaired (Note 9). As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no non-earning aircraft in the portfolio. GOODWILL FROM ACQUISITIONS The Company s acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill from acquisitions, included in other assets, totaled $41 million and $48 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There were no goodwill impairment write-downs from continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and POLICYHOLDER ACCOUNT BALANCES Policyholder account balances on UL and investment-type contracts, such as funding agreements, fixed account liabilities and guaranteed interest contracts (GICs), are valued using the retrospective deposit method and are equal to accumulated account values, which consist of deposits received, plus interest credited, less withdrawals and assessments. Interest credited to these contracts primarily ranged from 2.0% to 8.0% Report to Members 15

18 FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS Annuity reserves, which primarily consist of group retirement and structured settlement annuities, are equal to the present value of estimated future payments using pricing assumptions, as applicable, for interest rates, mortality, morbidity, retirement age and expenses. Interest rates used in establishing such liabilities ranged from 1.6% to 11.0%. Policy charges assessed against policyholders that represent compensation to the Company for services to be provided in future periods, or unearned revenue reserves, are recognized in income over the expected life of the contract using the same methods and assumptions used to amortize DAC. Unearned revenue related to certain unrealized components in OCI, primarily unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, is recorded directly to equity through OCI. Life insurance reserves are valued using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions appropriate at policy issue. Mortality and persistency assumptions are generally based on the Company s experience, which, together with interest and expense assumptions, include a margin for possible unfavorable deviations. Interest rate assumptions ranged from 4.5% to 9.3%. Future dividends for participating business are provided for in the liability for future policy benefits. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, participating experience rated policies paying dividends represent less than 1% of direct life insurance in force. Estimates of future policy benefit reserves and liabilities are continually reviewed and, as experience develops, are adjusted as necessary. Such changes in estimates are included in earnings for the period in which such changes occur. REVENUES, BENEFITS AND EXPENSES Insurance premiums, annuity contracts with life contingencies and traditional life and term insurance contracts, are recognized as revenue when due. Benefits and expenses are matched against such revenues to recognize profits over the lives of the contracts. This matching is accomplished by providing for liabilities for future policy benefits, expenses of contract administration and the amortization of DAC. Receipts for UL and investment-type contracts are reported as deposits to either policyholder account balances or separate account liabilities, and are not included in revenue. Policy fees consist of mortality charges, surrender charges and expense charges that have been earned and assessed against related account values during the period. The timing of policy fee revenue recognition is determined based on the nature of the fees. Certain amounts assessed that represent compensation for services to be provided in future periods are reported as unearned revenue and recognized in revenue over the periods benefited. Benefits and expenses include policy benefits and claims incurred in the period that are in excess of related policyholder account balances, interest credited to policyholder account balances, expenses of contract administration and the amortization of DAC. Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from their respective revenue and benefit and expense accounts. Investment advisory fees are primarily fees earned from the Pacific Select Fund, the investment vehicle provided to the Company s variable universal life (VUL) and variable annuity contract holders. These fees are based upon the net asset value of the underlying portfolios, and are recorded as earned. Related subadvisory expense is included in operating and other expenses and recorded when incurred. The aircraft leases, which are structured as triple net leases, are accounted for as operating leases. Aircraft leasing revenue is recognized ratably over the terms of the lease agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2006, five leases were entered into, which are accounted for as capital leases under the provisions of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, capital leases in the amount of $13 million and $16 million, respectively, are classified in other assets. 16 PACIFIC MUTUAL
