Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the statements contained herein are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” and similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions regarding future economic, competitive, legislative and other developments and their potential effect upon Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company (formerly "Hartford Life Insurance Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from expectations, depending on the evolution of various factors, including the risks and uncertainties identified below, as well as factors described in such forward-looking statements or in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report and those identified from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").


•	Risks Relating to Economic, Political and Global Market Conditions:


◦	challenges related to the Company's current operating environment, including global, political, economic and market conditions, and the effect of financial market disruptions, economic downturns or other potentially adverse macroeconomic developments on our products, the returns in our investment portfolios and the hedging costs associated with our run-off annuity block;


◦	financial risk related to the continued reinvestment of our investment portfolios and performance of our hedge program for our run-off annuity block;


◦	market risks associated with our business, including changes in credit spreads, equity prices, interest rates, market volatility and foreign exchange rates;


◦	the impact on our investment portfolio if our investment portfolio is concentrated in any particular segment of the economy;


•	Insurance Industry and Product Related Risks:


◦	volatility in our statutory earnings and earnings calculated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and potential material changes to our financial results resulting from our adjustment of our risk management program to emphasize protection of statutory surplus and economic value;


◦	the possibility of a terrorist attack, a pandemic, or other natural or man-made disaster that may increase the Company's mortality exposure and adversely affect its businesses;


◦	the possibility of losses from increased life expectancy trends among policyholders receiving long-term life contingent benefit payments;


◦	the possibility that the liability reserves for our payout annuities may be inadequate if there are medical improvements or other technological improvements that change our mortality assumptions;


◦	losses resulting from unanticipated policyholder behavior especially when combined with adverse market events;


•	Financial Strength, Credit and Counterparty Risks:


◦	risks to our business, financial position, prospects and results associated with negative rating actions or downgrades in the Company's financial strength and credit ratings or negative rating actions or downgrades relating to our investments;


◦	the impact on our statutory capital of various factors, including many that are outside the Company’s control, which can in turn affect our credit and financial strength ratings, cost of capital, regulatory compliance and other aspects of our business and results;


◦	losses due to nonperformance or defaults by others, including sourcing partners, derivative counterparties and other third parties;


◦	the potential for losses due to our reinsurers' unwillingness or inability to meet their obligations under reinsurance contracts and the availability, pricing and adequacy of reinsurance to protect the Company against losses;


◦	regulatory limitations on the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to declare and pay dividends;


•	Risks Relating to Estimates, Assumptions and Valuations:


◦	risk associated with the use of analytical models in making decisions in key areas such as capital management, hedging, and reserving;


◦	the potential for differing interpretations of the methodologies, estimations and assumptions that underlie the Company’s fair value estimates for its investments and the evaluation of the other-than-temporary impairments on available-for-sale securities;


◦	the potential for further acceleration in amortization of the present value of the business acquired ("VOBA") and an increase in reserve for certain guaranteed benefits in our variable annuities;


◦	the potential for valuation allowances against deferred tax assets;


•	Strategic and Operational Risks:


◦	the risks associated with separating our operations from those of our former parent and establishing a stand-alone company, including increased costs related to replacing third-party arrangements previously obtained through our former parent;


◦	the Company’s ability to maintain the availability of its systems and safeguard the security of its data in the event of a disaster, cyber or other information security incident or other unanticipated event;


◦	the potential for difficulties arising from outsourcing and similar third-party relationships;


◦	the risks, challenges and uncertainties associated with the Company's initiatives and other actions, which may include acquisitions and divestitures;


◦	the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property and defend against claims of infringement;


•	Regulatory and Legal Risks:


◦	the cost and other potential effects of increased regulatory and legislative developments, including those that could adversely impact the Company’s operating costs and required capital levels;


◦	unfavorable judicial or legislative developments;


◦	the impact of changes in federal or state tax laws that could impact the tax-favored status of life and annuity contracts; and


◦	the impact of potential changes in accounting and financial reporting requirements of the liability for future policy benefits, including how we account for our long-duration insurance contracts, including the discounting of life contingent fixed annuities.

Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this document speaks only as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company, formerly Hartford Life Insurance Company, (together with its subsidiaries, “TL,” “Company,” “we” or “our”) is a provider of insurance and investment products in the United States (“U.S.”) and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talcott Resolution Life, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TLI"). Hopmeadow Holdings LP (“Hopmeadow Holdings", or "HHLP ”) is the ultimate parent of the Company.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report (“Successor Company”).

On May 31, 2018 the Company's indirect parent, Hartford Holding, Inc. ("HHI") completed the sale of the Company's parent to a group of investors led by Cornell Capital LLC, Atlas Merchant Capital LLC, TRB Advisors LP, Global Atlantic Financial Group ("Global Atlantic"), Pine Brook and J. Safra Group. Although Talcott Resolution Life Insurance Company is no longer affiliated with The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. ("The Hartford") or any of its subsidiaries, The Hartford retained a 9.7 percent ownership interest in HHLP ("Talcott Resolution Sale Transaction").

In conjunction with the sale,
