EX-99.1
 

METLIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     On October 11, 2006, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (“MetLife Connecticut”), a Connecticut corporation, and its subsidiaries (“MICC” or the “Company”), and MetLife Investors Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MLIG”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc. (“MetLife”), entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”), pursuant to which MetLife Connecticut acquired all of the outstanding stock of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (“MLI-USA”), a Delaware stock life insurance company, from MLIG in exchange for shares of MetLife Connecticut’s common stock. To effectuate the exchange of shares, MetLife returned to MetLife Connecticut, just prior to the closing of the transaction, 10,000,000 shares of its common stock and retained 30,000,000 shares representing 100% of the then issued and outstanding shares of MetLife Connecticut’s 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock. MetLife Connecticut issued 4,595,317 new shares to MLIG in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of MLI-USA. As the transaction was between entities under common control, the transaction was recorded at the book value of MLI-USA and accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. The transaction closed on October 11, 2006 and has effect as if it occurred on October 1, 2006. After the closing of the transaction, 34,595,317 shares of MetLife Connecticut’s common stock are outstanding. MLIG holds 4,595,317 of the shares with the remaining shares held by MetLife.
     On October 30, 1997, MLIG, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, MLI-USA, was purchased by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and subsequently transferred to MetLife. This acquisition resulted in the recognition of fixed maturity securities, goodwill, value of business acquired (“VOBA”) and related deferred income tax liabilities. At that time, MetLife elected not to apply the push down basis of accounting to this transaction. Accordingly, such balances were recorded on the balance sheet of MLIG. As of September 30, 2006, $8 million, $68 million, $9 million and $3 million of fixed maturity securities, goodwill, VOBA and deferred income tax liabilities, respectively, remained outstanding resulting from this acquisition. In connection with the Transfer Agreement, on October 11, 2006, MLIG transferred these assets and liabilities to MetLife Connecticut at their stated book values at October 1, 2006.
     On July 1, 2005 (the “Acquisition Date”), MetLife Connecticut became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife. MetLife Connecticut, together with substantially all of Citigroup Inc.’s (“Citigroup”) international insurance businesses, and excluding Primerica Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (“Primerica”) (collectively, “Travelers”), were acquired by MetLife from Citigroup (the “Acquisition”) for $12.1 billion.
     The transfer of MLI-USA to MetLife Connecticut was a transaction between entities under common control. Since MLI-USA was the original entity under common control, for financial statement reporting purposes, MLI-USA is considered the accounting acquirer of MetLife Connecticut.
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information combines the historical consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of income of MICC, the historical balance sheet and statements of income of MLI-USA and the historical net assets and related statements of income for the other assets acquired and liabilities assumed from MLIG as discussed above. Those historical financial statements and financial information were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the assumptions described in the notes thereto.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information below should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical financial statements of MLI-USA, which were included as an exhibit to the Form 8-K/A filed by MICC on December 21, 2006, as well as in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of MICC included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations of the consolidated company that would have actually occurred had the acquisition been effective during the period presented or of the future financial position or future results of operations of the consolidated company. The consolidated financial information as of and for the periods presented may have been different had the companies actually been consolidated as of or during those periods.

1. Basis of Presentation
     On October 11, 2006, MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (“MetLife Connecticut”), a Connecticut corporation, and its subsidiaries (“MICC” or the “Company”), and MetLife Investors Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MLIG”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc. (“MetLife”), entered into a Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”), pursuant to which MetLife Connecticut acquired all of the outstanding stock of MetLife Investors USA Insurance Company (“MLI-USA”), a Delaware stock life insurance company, from MLIG in exchange for shares of MetLife Connecticut’s common stock. To effectuate the exchange of shares, MetLife returned to MetLife Connecticut, just prior to the closing of the transaction, 10,000,000 shares of its common stock and retained 30,000,000 shares representing 100% of the then issued and outstanding shares of MetLife Connecticut’s 40,000,000 authorized shares of common stock. MetLife Connecticut issued 4,595,317 new shares to MLIG in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of MLI-USA. As the transaction was between entities under common control, the transaction was recorded at the book value of MLI-USA of approximately $1.0 billion and accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests. The transaction closed on October 11, 2006 and has effect as if it occurred on October 1, 2006. After the closing of the transaction, 34,595,317 shares of MetLife Connecticut’s common stock are outstanding and remain outstanding at April 2, 2007. MLIG holds 4,595,317 of the shares with the remaining shares held by MetLife.
     On October 30, 1997, MLIG, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, MLI-USA, was purchased by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and subsequently transferred to MetLife. This acquisition resulted in the recognition of fixed maturity securities, goodwill, value of business acquired (“VOBA”) and related deferred income tax liabilities. At that time, MetLife elected not to apply the push down basis of accounting to this transaction. Accordingly, such balances were recorded on the balance sheet of MLIG. As of September 30, 2006, $8 million, $68 million, $9 million and $3 million of fixed maturity securities, goodwill, VOBA and deferred income tax liabilities, respectively, remained outstanding resulting from this acquisition. In connection with the Transfer Agreement, on October 11, 2006, MLIG transferred these assets and liabilities to MetLife Connecticut at their stated book values at October 1, 2006.
     On July 1, 2005 (the “Acquisition Date”), MetLife Connecticut became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife. MetLife Connecticut, together with substantially all of Citigroup Inc.’s (“Citigroup”) international insurance businesses, and excluding Primerica Life Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (“Primerica”) (collectively, “Travelers”), were acquired by MetLife from Citigroup (the “Acquisition”) for $12.1 billion.
     The transfer of MLI-USA to MetLife Connecticut was a transaction between entities under common control. Since MLI-USA was the original entity under common control, for financial statement reporting purposes, MLI-USA is considered the accounting acquirer of MetLife Connecticut.
