(a)
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company made an immaterial correction in the presentation of premiums, insurance policy benefits and change in future policy benefits and interest sensitive and index product benefits related to life contingent immediate annuities. We have revised the 2012 consolidated statements of operations above to be consistent with the 2013 presentation. These changes had no impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, net income or stockholders' equity.

(a)
Q4 2013 includes a benefit of $4.7 million from surrender charges deducted from California policyholders surrendering their policies as a condition of receiving certain benefits in a national class action lawsuit settlement, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, increased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $1.9 million and $0.02 per share, respectively.
(b)
Q3 2013 includes a benefit from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for living income benefit riders consistent with unlocking for deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. The impact decreased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $1.8 million and increased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $1.1 million and $0.01 per share, respectively.
(c)
Q3 2013 includes benefit from unlocking which reduced amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $11.1 million and $18.5 million, respectively, and increased net income and earnings per common share- assuming dilution by $19.1 million and $0.26 per share, respectively.
(d)
Q4 2013 includes expense of $4.2 million from recognizing an increase in an estimated class action litigation reserve based upon developments in the claim process for settlement of the class action litigation and third party costs incurred during the quarter associated with administration of the settlement, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, decreased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $1.9 million and $0.02 per share, respectively.

(e)
Q2 2013 includes expense of $8.5 million related to assessments received and future estimates of assessments from state guaranty fund associations related to the insolvency of Executive Life Insurance Company of New York, which after income taxes decreased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $5.5 million and $0.08 per share, respectively.
Q2 2013 includes a benefit of $3.2 million related to the final settlement of a litigation liability established in 2010, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes increased net income and earnings per common share - assuming dilution by $2.0 million and $0.03 per share, respectively.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to net income, we have consistently utilized operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution, non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the life insurance industry, as economic measures to evaluate our financial performance. Operating income equals net income adjusted to eliminate the impact of net realized gains and losses on investments including net OTTI losses recognized in operations, fair value changes in derivatives and embedded derivatives, loss on extinguishment of debt and changes in litigation reserves. Because these items fluctuate from quarter to quarter in a manner unrelated to core operations, we believe measures excluding their impact are useful in analyzing operating trends. We believe the combined presentation and evaluation of operating income together with net income provides information that may enhance an investor’s understanding of our underlying results and profitability.

(a)
Adjustments to net income to arrive at operating income are presented net of income taxes and where applicable, are net of related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs.
(b)
Q4 2013 includes a benefit of $4.7 million from surrender charges deducted from California policyholders surrendering their policies as a condition of receiving certain benefits in a national class action lawsuit settlement, which after related adjustments to amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs and income taxes, increased operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution by $2.0 million and $0.02 per share, respectively.
(c)
Q3 2013 includes a benefit from unlocking which reduced amortization of deferred sales inducements and deferred policy acquisition costs by $12.6 million and $20.4 million, respectively, and increased operating income and operating income per common share- assuming dilution by $21.3 million and $0.29 per share, respectively.
(d)
Q3 2013 includes a benefit from the revision of assumptions used in determining reserves held for living income benefit riders consistent with unlocking for deferred policy acquisition costs and deferred sales inducements. The impact decreased interest sensitive and index product benefits by $1.8 million and increased operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution by $1.1 million and $0.01 per share, respectively.
(e)
Q2 2013 includes expense of $8.5 million related to assessments received and future estimates of assessments from state guaranty fund associations related to the insolvency of Executive Life Insurance Company of New York, which after income taxes decreased operating income and operating income per common share - assuming dilution by $5.5 million and $0.08 per share, respectively.

(a)
Total capitalization, total stockholders’ equity and book value per share excluding AOCI, non-GAAP financial measures, are based on stockholders’ equity excluding the effect of AOCI. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information.
(b)
Common shares outstanding include shares held by the NMO Deferred Compensation Trust: 2013 - 892,688 shares; 2012 - 1,142,332 shares and excludes unallocated shares held by the ESOP: 2013 - 58,618 shares; 2012 - 239,799 shares.
(c)
Book value per share including and excluding AOCI is calculated as total stockholders’ equity and total stockholders’ equity excluding AOCI divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
(d)
Debt-to-capital ratios are computed using total capitalization excluding AOCI. Adjusted debt includes notes payable and the portion of the total subordinated debentures payable to subsidiary trusts outstanding (qualifying trust preferred securities) that exceeds 15% of total capitalization excluding AOCI.

$65,736 of Fixed Annuities Account Value have a guarantee of 2.25% for the first 10 years and 3.00% thereafter. They begin increasing in 2014. $574,029 of Index Annuities Account Value is in fixed rate strategies that have a guarantee of 2.25% for the first 10 years and 3.00% thereafter. They begin increasing in 2014.    
(b)
The minimum guaranteed interest rate for the fixed rate or the fixed rate strategy is 1.00%. The ultimate guaranteed rate is applied on less than 100% of the premium.
If all crediting rates were reduced to minimum guaranteed rates (subject to limitations imposed by ultimate minimum guaranteed rates where applicable) the weighted average crediting rate as of December 31, 2013 for fixed annuities and funds allocated to the fixed rate strategy for fixed index annuities would decrease by 0.57%.
