Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2008
Premium income increased in 2009 relative to the prior year due primarily to sales growth, particularly in the voluntary benefits product line,
partially offset by a slight decline in premium persistency. Net investment income increased relative to the prior year due to higher investment
income related to growth in the level of assets supporting these lines of business, an increased level of prepayment income on mortgage-
backed securities, and a higher yield on the portfolio due to the investment of new cash at higher yields than that of the existing portfolio.
The interest adjusted loss ratio for the individual disability recently issued line of business declined in 2009 relative to the prior year due
primarily to a more favorable claim recovery rate and a lower number of reopened claims, partially offset by an increase in the paid incidence
