NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) (In millions)
(1) Basis of Presentation
FGL Holdings (the “Company”, formerly known as CF Corporation (NASDAQ: CFCO) (“CF Corp”) and its
related entities (“CF Entities”)), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was originally incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 26, 2016 as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”). CF Corp formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Prior to November 30, 2017, CF Corp. was a shell company with no operations. On November 30, 2017, CF Corp. consummated the acquisition of Fidelity & Guaranty Life ("FGL"), a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 24, 2017 (the “FGL Merger Agreement”). The transactions contemplated by the FGL Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”
Dollar amounts in the accompanying sections are presented in millions, unless otherwise noted.
Pursuant to the FGL Merger Agreement, except for shares specified in the FGL Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of FGL was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $31.10 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”). Accordingly, CF Corp acquired FGL for a total of approximately $2 billion in cash, plus the assumption of $405 of existing debt.
In addition to the Business Combination, on November 30, 2017, CF Entities bought all of the issued and outstanding shares of Front Street Re Cayman Ltd. (“FSRC”) and Front Street Re Ltd. (“FSR”, and, together with FSRC, the “FSR Companies”) from Front Street Re (Delaware) Ltd. (“FSRD”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HRG Group, Inc. (“HRG”; NYSE: HRG), pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, for cash consideration of $65, subject to certain adjustments.
As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, FGL Holdings is the acquirer and FGL is the acquired party and accounting predecessor. Our financial statement presentation includes the financial statements of FGL and its subsidiaries as “Predecessor” for the periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination and FGL Holdings, including the consolidation of FGL and its subsidiaries and FSR Companies, as "Successor" for periods from and after the Closing Date. FGL Holdings was determined to be the Successor company as it is the surviving company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof (and in the case of the Company, Bermuda or the Cayman Islands). Prior to the acquisition, FGL Holdings reported under a fiscal year end of December 31, and the Predecessor companies reported under a fiscal year end of September 30. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Successor reports under a fiscal year end of December 31.
On December 1, 2017, upon completion of the acquisitions, FGL Holdings began trading ordinary shares and warrants on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbols “FG” and “FG WS,” respectively. For additional info related to the Business Combination please refer to “Item 1. Business" within FGL Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the period ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”).
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Article 10 of Regulation S-X, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the information contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2017 Form 10-K, should be read in connection with the reading of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company markets products through its wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company (“FGL Insurance”) and Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company of New York (“FGL NY Insurance”), which together are licensed in all fifty states and the District of Columbia.

In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.  Amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income are reflected in net investment gains in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and any variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We are involved in certain entities that are considered VIEs as defined under GAAP. Our involvement with VIEs is primarily to invest in assets that allow us to gain exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of asset classes. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or where investors lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We assess our relationships to determine if we have the ability to direct the activities, or otherwise exert control, to evaluate if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE as of June 30, 2018. See "Note 4. Investments" to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on revenue recognition (ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The FASB also issued the following ASUs which clarify the guidance in ASU 2014-09:
•ASU 2016-08 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) issued in March 2016
•ASU 2016-10 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing issued in April 2016
•ASU 2016-11 - Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting issued in May 2016
•ASU 2016-12 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients issued in May 2016
The guidance in ASU 2014-09 and the related ASUs supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance unless the contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, financial instruments, insurance contracts or lease contracts). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance establishes a five-step process to achieve this core principle.
The Company adopted these standards effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of these standards has had an insignificant impact on its consolidated financial statements as the Company’s primary sources of revenue, insurance contracts and financial instruments, are excluded from the scope of these standards.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Notable amendments in this update will change the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the Statement of Cash Flows in the following ways:
•
cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs will be classified as cash outflows for financing activities

-9
Table of Contents

•
the settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing should be classified as follows: the portion of the cash payment attributable to the accreted interest related to the debt discount as cash outflows for operating activities, and the portion of the cash payment attributable to the principal as cash outflows for financing activities
•
a reporting entity must make an accounting policy election to classify distributions received from equity method investees using either:
◦
the cumulative earnings approach, which considers distributions received as returns on the investment and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities (with an exception when cumulative distributions received less distributions received in prior periods that were classified as returns of investment exceeds cumulative equity in earnings, in which case the current period distribution up to this excess amount will be considered a return of investment and classified as cash inflows from investing activities); or
◦
the nature of the distribution approach, which classifies distributions received based on the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution (would be considered either a return on investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities or a return of investment and classified as cash inflows from investing activities)
•
in the absence of specific GAAP guidance, an entity should classify cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows by determining and appropriately classifying each separately identifiable source or use within the cash receipts and cash payments on the basis of the underlying cash flows. If cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated by source or use, the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item will determine the classification.
The amendments in this ASU were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2018, as required. The Company has elected to use the nature of distribution approach to classify distributions received from equity method investees. The amendments in the update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented (except where impracticable to apply retrospectively; those specific amendments would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable). The adoption of this standard had an insignificant impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance (ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Under this update:
•
an entity should recognize current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory at the time of the transfer
•
the entity will no longer delay recognition of the income tax consequences of these types of intra-entity asset transfers until the asset has been sold to an outside party, as is practiced under current guidance
The amendments in this ASU were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2018, as required. The Company does not have any intra-entity asset transfers, therefore this new accounting guidance is not expected to impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Presentation of Changes in Restricted Cash on the Cash Flow Statement
In November 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance regarding the presentation of changes in restricted cash on the cash flow statement (ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires amounts generally described as changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU were adopted effective January 1, 2018, as required. The adoption of this guidance had an insignificant impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Scope of Modification Accounting for Stock Compensation
In May 2017, the FASB issued new guidance on the scope of modification accounting for stock compensation (ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2017-09 may be early adopted. The ASU provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award would require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718, Stock Compensation. Under the new guidance, an entity would account for the effects of a modification, immediately before the original award is modified, unless the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award, the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award, and the classification of the modified award (equity instrument or liability instrument) is the same as the classification of the original award. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2018 as required. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In March 2018, February 2018 and January 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on the measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities (ASU 2018-04, Investments-Debt Securities (Topic 320) and Regulated Operations (Topic 980) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117 and SEC Release No. 33-9273; ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; and ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, respectively), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Notable amendments in these updates:
•
require all equity securities (other than equity investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or requiring the consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values may be measured at cost minus impairment
•
require qualitative assessment for impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values at each reporting period and, if the qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, to measure the investment at fair value
•
eliminate the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value (which is currently required to be disclosed, for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet)
•
require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments
The amendments in these ASUs should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, and the amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASUs 2016-01, 2018-03, and 2018-04 effective January 1, 2018, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings and increase AOCI by $4.
Future Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting pronouncements that will impact the Company in future periods have been disclosed in the Company's 2017 Form 10-K. There have not been any additional accounting pronouncements expected to impact the Company.
Reclassifications and Retrospective Adjustments

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to the current year presentation.
These reclassifications and combinations had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements

-11
Table of Contents

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company identified an immaterial error related to the classification of certain securities as debt or equity under ASC 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company reviewed the impact of this error on the prior periods in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and determined the error was not material to the prior periods. The Company has recorded an immaterial correction to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 by decreasing fixed maturity securities, available for sale by $627 and increasing equity securities, at fair value by a corresponding amount. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted guidance under ASU 2016-01 which among other things, requires that the change in fair value of equity securities be reported in income rather than as a direct adjustment to AOCI. As a result, the Company also recorded an immaterial $9 out of period adjustment in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to recognize the Q1 change in fair value associated with the proper classification of equity securities with a corresponding increase in AOCI.

(3) Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Federal Regulation    
In April 2016, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) issued the “fiduciary” rule which could have had a material impact on the Company, its products, distribution, and business model. The rule provided that persons who render investment advice for a fee or other compensation with respect to an employer plan or individual retirement account ("IRA") are fiduciaries of that plan or IRA and would have expanded the definition of fiduciary under ERISA to apply to commissioned insurance agents who sell the Company’s IRA products. On June 21, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit formally vacated the DOL fiduciary rule in total when it issued its mandate following the court’s decision on March 15, 2018, in U.S. Chamber of Commerce v. U.S. Department of Labor, 885 F.3d 360 (5th Cir. 2018). Management will continue to monitor for potential action by state officials or the Securities and Exchange Commission to implement rules similar to the vacated DOL rule.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at 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 and assumptions used.
Concentrations of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s most significant investment in one industry, excluding United States ("U.S.") Government securities, was its investment securities in the banking industry with a fair value of $2,381 or 10% and $2,851 or 12%, respectively, of the invested assets portfolio and an amortized cost of $2,477 and $2,850, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s holdings in this industry include investments in 111 different issuers with the top ten investments accounting for 31% of the total holdings in this industry. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no investments in issuers that exceeded 10% of shareholders' equity. The Company's largest concentration in any single issuer as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was Verizon Communications Inc. and Wells Fargo & Company, respectively, with a total fair value of $118 or 1% and $155 or 1% of the invested assets portfolio, respectively.
Concentrations of Financial and Capital Markets Risk
The Company is exposed to financial and capital markets risk, including changes in interest rates and credit spreads which can have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The Company expects to continue to face challenges and uncertainties that could adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition. The Company attempts to mitigate the risk, including changes in interest rates by investing in less rate-sensitive investments, including senior tranches of collateralized loan obligations, non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, and various types of asset backed securities.
The Company’s exposure to such financial and capital markets risk relates primarily to the market price and cash flow variability associated with changes in interest rates. A rise in interest rates, in the absence of other countervailing changes, will increase the net unrealized loss position of the Company’s investment portfolio and, if long-term interest rates rise dramatically within a six to twelve month time period, certain of the Company’s products may be exposed to disintermediation risk. Disintermediation risk refers to the risk that policyholders surrender their contracts in a rising interest rate environment, requiring the Company to liquidate assets in an unrealized loss position. Management believes this risk is mitigated to some extent by surrender charge protection provided by the Company’s products.
Concentration of Reinsurance Risk
The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance with Wilton Reassurance Company (“Wilton Re”), a third-party reinsurer, that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position in the event that Wilton Re fails to perform their obligations under the various reinsurance treaties. Wilton Re is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ("CPPIB"). CPPIB has an AAA issuer credit rating from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the net amount recoverable from Wilton Re was $1,558. The Company monitors the financial condition of Wilton Re and other individual reinsurers to attempt to reduce the risk of default by such reinsurers. The Company also monitors

concentration risk arising from similar economic characteristics of reinsurers. Wilton Re is current on all amounts due as of June 30, 2018.

The unrealized gains and losses were reset to zero effective November 30, 2017 as a result of the Business Combination and application of acquisition accounting which requires assets and liabilities acquired to be measured at fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Included in AOCI were cumulative gross unrealized gains of $0 and gross unrealized losses of $0 related to the non-credit portion of other-than-temporary-impairments ("OTTI") on non-agency residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") for both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
Securities held on deposit with various state regulatory authorities had a fair value of $20,266 and $20,301 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Under Iowa regulations, insurance companies are required to hold securities on deposit in an amount no less than the Company's legal reserve as prescribed by Iowa regulations.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held no material investments that were non-income producing for a period greater than twelve months.
In accordance with the Company's FHLB agreements, the investments supporting the funding agreement liabilities are pledged as collateral to secure the FHLB funding agreement liabilities. The collateral investments had a fair value of $908 and $715 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity available-for-sale securities by contractual maturities, as applicable, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or pre-pay obligations.

The Company's available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses are reviewed for potential OTTI. For factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, please refer to “Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices" to the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K.
The Company analyzes its ability to recover the amortized cost by comparing the net present value of cash flows expected to be collected with the amortized cost of the security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates consider the payment terms of the underlying assets backing a particular security, including interest rate and prepayment assumptions, based on data from widely accepted third-party data sources or internal estimates. In addition to interest rate and prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates also include other assumptions regarding the underlying collateral including default rates and recoveries, which vary based on the asset type and geographic location, as well as the vintage year of the security. For structured securities, the payment priority within the tranche structure is also considered. For all other fixed maturity securities, cash flow estimates are driven by assumptions regarding probability of default and estimates regarding timing and amount of recoveries associated with a default. If the net present value is less than the amortized cost of the investment, an OTTI is recognized.
Based on the results of our process for evaluating available-for-sale securities in unrealized loss positions for OTTI as discussed above, the Company determined that the unrealized losses as of June 30, 2018 increased due to higher interest rates during the quarter coupled with an increase in the spreads over Treasuries required by investors for corporate and municipal bonds. Based on an assessment of all securities in the portfolio in unrealized

loss positions, the Company determined that the unrealized losses on the securities presented in the table below were not other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2018.
The fair value and gross unrealized losses of available-for-sale securities, aggregated by investment category and duration of fair value below amortized cost, were as follows:

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, securities in an unrealized loss position were primarily concentrated in investment grade, corporate debt and hybrid instruments.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, securities with a fair value of $2 and $10, respectively, had an unrealized loss greater than 20% of amortized cost (excluding U.S. Government and U.S. Government sponsored agency securities), which were insignificant to the carrying value of all investments, respectively.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the credit loss portion of OTTI on fixed maturity available-for-sale securities held by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (Predecessor), for which a portion of the OTTI was recognized in AOCI:

Commercial Mortgage Loans
Commercial mortgage loans ("CMLs") represented approximately 2% of the Company’s total investments as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company primarily invests in mortgage loans on income producing properties including hotels, industrial properties, retail buildings, multifamily properties and office buildings. The Company diversifies its CML portfolio by geographic region and property type to attempt to reduce concentration risk. The Company continuously evaluates CMLs based on relevant current information to ensure properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the related debt. The distribution of CMLs, gross of valuation allowances, by property type and geographic region is reflected in the following tables:

All of the Company's investments in CMLs had a loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio of less than 75% at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as measured at inception of the loans unless otherwise updated. As of June 30, 2018, all CMLs are current and have not experienced credit or other events which would require the recording of an impairment loss.
LTV and DSC ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of mortgage loans. The LTV ratio is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property’s net income to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.00 indicates that a property’s operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. We normalize our DSC ratios to a 25-year amortization period for purposes of our general loan allowance evaluation.

(a) N/A - Current DSC ratio not available.
The Company establishes a general mortgage loan allowance based upon the underlying risk and quality of the mortgage loan portfolio using DSC ratio and LTV ratio. A higher LTV ratio will result in a higher allowance. A higher DSC ratio will result in a lower allowance. The Company believes that the DSC ratio is an indicator of default risk on loans. The Company believes that the LTV ratio is an indicator of the principal recovery risk for loans that default.
