NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Accounting Practices: The accompanying financial statements of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the "Company") have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Insurance (the "Division"). b. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates include those used in determining the carrying value of investments, the liability for aggregate reserves and deposit-type contracts, the amount of mortgage loan investment valuation reserves, real estate held for sale, other-than-temporary impairments ( OTTI ) and the liability for taxes. Future events including, but not limited to, changes in the level of mortality, morbidity, interest rates, persistency, asset valuations, and default, could cause actual results to differ from the estimates used in the financial statements. Although some variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts presented are appropriate. c. Accounting Policy: Life insurance premium revenue is generally recognized annually on the anniversary date of the policy and excess premium for flexible products is recognized when received. Annuity premium is recognized as revenue when received. Disability income premium is recognized as revenue when due. Certain acquisition costs, such as commissions and other variable costs that are directly related to acquiring new business are charged to current operations as incurred. Policy loans are carried at the outstanding loan balance less amounts unsecured by the cash surrender value of the policy. At issuance, policy loans are fully secured by the cash surrender value of the policy. Unsecured amounts can occur when subsequent charges are incurred on the underlying policy without the receipt of additional premium. Where applicable, the values of invested assets have been adjusted for the impairments considered other-than-temporary. Investment real estate, which the Company has the intent to hold for the production of income, and real estate occupied by the Company are carried at depreciated cost, less encumbrances. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the real estate holding, not to exceed 40 years. Depreciation expense is included in net investment income. The liability for policyholders dividends includes the estimated amount of annual dividends and settlement dividends expected to be paid to policyholders in the following year. Policyholders dividends incurred are recorded in the Summary of Operations. Dividends expected to be paid to policyholders in the following year are approved annually by MassMutual s Board of Directors. In addition, the Company uses the following accounting policies: () Short-term investments, which are carried at amortized cost, consist of all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of greater than three months and less than or equal to months. Investments in money market mutual funds, commercial paper, and securities purchased under agreements to resell are classified as short-term investments. The carrying value reported in the Statutory Statements of Financial Position for these instruments approximates the fair value. () Generally, bonds are valued at amortized cost using the constant yield interest method with the exception of NAIC category 6 bonds which are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value and residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS"), which were rated by an outside modeler. Bond transactions are recorded on a trade date basis, except for private placement bonds which are recorded on the funding date. The fair value of bonds is based on quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, values provided by other third-party organizations are used. If values provided by other third-party organizations are unavailable, fair value is estimated using internal models by discounting expected future cash flows using observable current market rates applicable to yield, credit quality and maturity of the investment or using quoted market values for comparable investments. Internal inputs used in the determination of fair value include estimated prepayment speeds, default rates, discount rates, and collateral values, among others. Structure characteristics and results of cash flow priority are also considered. Fair values resulting from internal models are those expected to be received in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the financial statement date. Refer to Note c. "Accounting policy" (4) for information on the Company s policy for determining OTTI. (3) The fair value of unaffiliated common stocks is based on quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, values provided by other third-party organizations are used. If values from other third parties are unavailable, fair values are determined by management using estimates based upon internal models. Typical inputs integrated in the Company s internal models include estimates based upon comparable company analysis, fundamental impact analysis, broker quotes and last traded price. Refer to Note c. "Accounting policy" (4) for information on the Company s policy for determining OTTI. The Company held common stocks for which the transfer of ownership was restricted by contractual requirements with a carrying value of $78 million as of December 3, 009 and a carrying value of $67 million as of December 3, 008. (4) Generally, preferred stocks in good standing are valued at amortized cost. Preferred stocks not in good standing, those which are rated four through six by the Securities Valuation Office ( SVO ), are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair values of preferred stocks are based on quoted market prices, when available. For preferred stocks without readily ascertainable market values, the Company estimates fair value using broker-dealer quotations or internal models. These models use inputs that are not directly observable or correlated with observable market data. Typical inputs integrated into the Company s internal discounted expected earnings models include, but are not limited to, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization estimates. Fair values resulting from internal models are those expected to be received in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the financial statement date. Refer to Note c. "Accounting policy" (4) for information on the Company s policy for determining OTTI. The Company held preferred stocks for which the transfer of ownership was restricted by contractual requirements with carrying values of $5 million as of December 3, 009 and $4 million as of December 3, 008. (5) Mortgage loans are valued at the unpaid principal balance of the loan, net of unamortized premium and discount, nonrefundable commitment fees and mortgage interest points, and valuation allowances. The mortgage loan portfolio is comprised of commercial mortgage loans, including mezzanine loans, and residential mortgage loan pools. Mezzanine loans are loans secured by a pledge of direct or indirect equity interest in an entity that owns real estate. Mezzanine loans are subordinate to senior secured first liens but are underwritten to maximize the control and/or remedies available to the mezzanine lender. 9.
