MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut (the “Company”) identified a miscalculation of the foreign exchange adjustment related to the accrued interest credited liability on its foreign denominated issuances under its guaranteed interest contract (“GIC”) program. This miscalculation resulted in an overstatement of the foreign currency exchange loss on accrued interest credited payable and an understatement of net income. Therefore, the Company will be restating its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to properly reflect the accrued interest credited liability on its foreign denominated GICs. In addition, the Company recognized that its assessment of the functional currency of its operations in Ireland was not in accordance with the applicable accounting principles. As a result, the Company will also be restating its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the quarter ended September 30, 2007 to properly reflect the functional currency as of the respective date. As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the quarter ended September 30, 2007 will increase by $49 million and $36 million, respectively.
In consideration of the foregoing, on May 9, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”) and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 will be restated and that such consolidated financial statements, pending these restatements, should not be relied upon. Accordingly, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company will file an amendment to the 2007 Form 10-K to reflect these restatements.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
