INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Audit Committee and Stockholder of
MEMBERS Life Insurance Company
Waverly, Iowa
Opinions
We have audited the statutory basis financial statements of MEMBERS Life Insurance Company (the
"Company"), which comprise the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital
and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statutory basis statements of
operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flows for the each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the statutory basis financial statements (collectively
referred to as the "statutory basis financial statements").
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying statutory basis financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31,
2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division, described in Note 2.
Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on
Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America section of our report, the
statutory basis financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2025 and 2024, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2025.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory Basis Financial Statements section of our report. We are
required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Basis for Adverse Opinion on Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States
of America
As described in Note 2 to the statutory basis financial statements, the statutory basis financial
statements are prepared by the Company using the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division, which is a basis of accounting other than
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, to meet the requirements of
the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division. The effects on the statutory basis financial
statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 2 and
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably
determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the statutory basis financial statements, the results of the Company may not
be indicative of those of a stand-alone entity, as the Company is a member of a controlled group of
affiliated companies. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Statutory Basis Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statutory basis financial
statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa
Department of Commerce, Insurance Division. Management is also responsible for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
statutory basis financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the statutory basis financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there
are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the statutory basis financial
statements are issued.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statutory Basis Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statutory basis financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is
not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the statutory basis
financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statutory basis financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the
amounts and disclosures in the statutory basis financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the statutory basis financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Report on Supplemental Schedules
Our 2025 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2025 statutory basis
financial statements as a whole. The supplemental schedule of selected financial data, summary
investment schedule, reinsurance contract interrogatories, and supplemental investment risks
interrogatories as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the 2025 statutory basis financial statements. These
schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management and were derived from and relate
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the statutory basis financial
statements. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the
2025 statutory basis financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and
reconciling such schedules directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
statutory basis financial statements or to the statutory basis financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2025
statutory basis financial statements as a whole.

Note 1: Nature of Business
MEMBERS Life Insurance Company ("MEMBERS Life" or the "Company" or "MLIC") is a stock life and health
insurance company organized under the laws of Iowa and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMFG Life Insurance
Company ("CMFG Life"). CMFG Life and its affiliated companies primarily sell insurance and other products to
credit unions and consumers. The Company's ultimate parent is CUNA Mutual Holding Company ("CMHC"), a
mutual insurance holding company organized under the laws of Iowa.
The Company began selling a single premium deferred index annuity contract in 2013, a flexible premium
deferred variable and index-linked annuity contract in 2016, a single premium deferred modified guaranteed index
annuity contract in 2019, a single premium deferred index-linked interest options annuity contract in 2021, a single
purchase payment deferred index-linked variable annuity in 2025 (collectively the "registered index annuities"),
and whole life insurance policies in 2021. Products are sold to consumers, including credit union members,
through face-to-face and call center distribution channels. The Company has reinsurance agreements under
which it cedes 100% of its business to CMFG Life. See Note 7, Reinsurance, for information on the Company's
reinsurance agreements.
The Company is authorized to sell life, health and annuity policies in all states in the U.S. and the District of
Columbia, except New York. All premiums of the Company were generated in the United States with a significant
portion in California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Texas for the years ended December 31,
2025, 2024, and 2023. All annuity deposits of the Company were received in the United States with a significant
portion in California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin for the years ended
December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
The accompanying statutory basis financial statements reflect various transactions and balances with the
Company's affiliates. See Note 6, Related Party Transactions, for a description of the significant transactions.
While the Company believes that these transactions were at reasonable terms, the results of operations of the
Company may have materially differed had these transactions been consummated with unrelated parties.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statutory basis financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting
practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division ("Insurance
Department"), which differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP").
Prescribed statutory accounting practices are practices incorporated directly or by reference in state laws,
regulations and general administrative rules and are applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a
particular state. The Insurance Department has identified the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual
("APPM"), as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"), as a source of
prescribed statutory accounting practices for insurers domiciled in Iowa. Permitted statutory accounting practices
encompass all accounting practices not prescribed by the NAIC and are approved by the insurance department of
the insurer's state of domicile. The Company does not utilize any permitted practices.

GAAP/Statutory Accounting Differences
The following summary identifies the significant differences between the accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the Insurance Department and GAAP:
"Nonadmitted assets" (principally a portion of deferred taxes, certain non-affiliated accounts receivable and
commission receivable accounts, negative interest maintenance reserve ("IMR") that exceeds 10% of adjusted
capital and surplus, and debit suspense balances) are excluded from the statutory basis statements of admitted
assets, liabilities and capital and surplus through a direct charge to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP,
nonadmitted assets are presented in the balance sheet, net of any valuation allowance.
Investments in bonds and notes are generally carried at amortized cost, while under GAAP, they are carried at
either amortized cost or fair value based on their classification according to the Company's ability and intent to
hold or trade the securities.
For statutory accounting, after an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") of bonds (other than loan-backed
securities) is recorded, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired bond becomes its new cost basis. For
GAAP, an impairment is based on the net present value of expected cash flows if the Company intends to hold the
security until it has recovered, and an impairment is recorded as a valuation allowance. If the Company does not
intend to hold the security until it has recovered, the Company records an impairment, and the fair value becomes
its new cost basis. For loan-backed securities, the impairment for statutory accounting is based on future cash
flows.
Policy reserves, which are 100% ceded to CMFG Life, are established based on mortality and interest
assumptions prescribed by state statutes, without consideration for withdrawals, which may differ from reserves
established for GAAP using assumptions with respect to mortality, interest, expense, and withdrawals that are
based on company experience and expectations.
The Company cedes 100% of its annuity business to CMFG Life, which is accounted for as reinsurance ceded
under statutory accounting. These contracts are accounted for as investment-type contracts under GAAP; as
such, deposits are not reported as revenues for GAAP. Consequently, deposit accounting is used to account for
the reinsurance agreement for GAAP.
Under both GAAP and statutory accounting, deferred federal income taxes are provided for unrealized capital
gains or losses on investments and the temporary differences between the reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities; however, there are limits as to the amount of deferred tax assets that may be reported as admitted
assets under statutory accounting. Further, the change in deferred taxes is recognized as an adjustment to
unassigned surplus under statutory accounting. For GAAP, changes in deferred taxes related to revenue and
expense items are recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. A federal income tax
provision is required on a current basis only in the Statutory Basis Statements of Operations.
The asset valuation reserve ("AVR"), a statutory only reserve established by formula for the purpose of stabilizing
the surplus of the Company against fluctuations in the fair value of certain invested assets, is recorded as a
liability by a direct charge to unassigned surplus for statutory accounting. Such a reserve is not recorded under
GAAP. For statutory reporting, the IMR defers recognition of interest rate-related gains and losses resulting from
the disposal of investment securities and amortizes them into income over the remaining contractual maturities of
those securities; under GAAP, such gains and losses are recognized in income immediately.
Amounts due from reinsurers for their share of ceded reserves are netted against the reserves rather than shown
as assets as under GAAP.

Notes to Statutory Basis Financial Statements

|
Deposits, surrenders, and benefits on certain annuities, including those recorded in the separate accounts, are
recorded in the statutory basis statements of operations, while such deposits and benefits are credited or charged
directly to the policyholder account balances under GAAP. As a result, under GAAP, revenues on these types of
contracts are composed of contract charges and fees, which are recognized when assessed against the account
balance. Under GAAP, amounts collected are credited directly to policyholder account balances, and the benefits
and claims on these contracts that are charged to expense only include benefits incurred in the period in excess
of related policyholder account balances.
The registered index annuities are reported as separate account products for statutory reporting. For GAAP, only
the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity is reported as a
separate account product, with the other related assets and liabilities reported in the general account because
criteria for separate account reporting are not met. The criteria are that funds must be invested at the direction of
the contract holder and investment results must be passed through to the contract holder.
Comprehensive income and its components are not presented in the statutory basis financial statements,
whereas under GAAP, comprehensive income is presented and changes in comprehensive income are reflected
in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholder's equity.
The statutory basis statements of cash flows are presented in the required statutory format. Under GAAP, the
indirect method for the statements of cash flows requires a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by
operating activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statutory basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the statutory basis financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and, in some cases, the
difference could be material. Investment valuations, policy reserve valuations, determination of OTTI, deferred
tax asset valuation reserves and reinsurance balances are most affected by the use of estimates and
assumptions.
Investments
Investments are valued as prescribed by the NAIC.
Bonds and notes: Bonds and notes with an NAIC designation of 1 through 5 are generally stated at amortized
cost. Bonds and notes with an NAIC designation of 6 are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Loan-
backed securities may be carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value if they receive an initial rating of 6
under the multiple-designation methodology. Prepayment assumptions for loan-backed securities are obtained
from historical industry prepayment averages, industry survey values or internal estimates to determine the
effective yield. Changes in the anticipated prepayments are incorporated when determining statement values.
Changes in estimated cash flows from the previous assumptions are accounted for using the prospective method.
Net investment income: Investment income is recognized on an accrual basis. Investment income reflects
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on an effective-yield basis using expected cash flows.
Net realized capital gains (losses): Realized capital gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined
based upon the specific identification method and are recorded on the trade date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes unrestricted deposits in financial institutions. Cash equivalents include money market mutual funds
and investments with maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less and are reported at carrying value,
which approximates amortized cost. Money market mutual funds are valued based on the closing price as of
December 31.
Income Tax
Deferred income taxes are recognized, subject to an admissibility test for deferred tax assets, and represent the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the statutory basis financial statement carrying
amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a
statutory valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not
be realized. See Note 5, Income Tax, for the components of the admissibility test used to calculate the admitted
deferred tax assets. Recorded deferred tax amounts are adjusted to reflect changes in income tax rates and
other tax law provisions as they are enacted. The net change in deferred taxes is recorded directly to unassigned
surplus.
The Company is subject to tax-related audits. The Company accounts for any federal and foreign tax contingent
liabilities in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles ("SSAP") No. 5R, Liabilities,
Contingencies and Impairments of Assets as modified by SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, and any state and other
tax contingent liabilities in accordance with SSAP No. 5R.
Reinsurance
Reinsurance premiums, claims and benefits, commission expense reimbursements, and reserves related to
reinsured business ceded are accounted for on a basis consistent with the accounting for the underlying direct
policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies
have been reported as reductions of premium income and benefits in the accompanying statutory basis
statements of operations. Policy and claim reserves are reported net of unbilled reinsurance recoverables. The
Company has evaluated its reinsurance contracts and determined that all significant contracts transfer the
underlying economic risk of loss. CMFG Life, which is a related party, is the only reinsurer and there is no concern
of default on reinsurance receivable balances as CMFG Life is highly rated and well capitalized.
Separate Accounts
The Company issues registered index annuities, the assets and liabilities of which are legally segregated and
reflected in the accompanying statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as
assets and liabilities of the separate accounts. All separate account assets and liabilities are ceded to CMFG Life
on a coinsurance basis except the variable portion of the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred
annuities that are ceded on a modified coinsurance basis and the related assets and liabilities are retained in the
Company's separate accounts.
Separate account assets for the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index-linked
deferred annuity are stated at fair value. Separate account liabilities are accounted for in a manner similar to
other policy reserves. Separate account premium deposits, benefit expenses and contract fee income for
investment management and policy administration are reflected by the Company in the accompanying statutory
basis statements of operations.
The variable annuity contract holders of the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity are able
to invest in investment funds managed for their benefit. All of the flexible premium variable and index-linked
deferred annuity separate account assets are invested in unit investment trusts that are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

CMFG Life, on behalf of MEMBERS Life, invests the single premium deferred index annuity, single premium
deferred index-linked interest options annuity, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity, single
purchase payment deferred index-linked variable annuity and flexible premium deferred variable premiums for the
benefit of the contract holder. The single premium deferred index, single premium deferred modified guaranteed
index and flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuities have two risk control accounts, referred to
as the Secure and Growth Accounts; the Secure Account has a yearly credited interest rate floor of 0% and the
yearly Growth Account floor is -10%. The Secure and Growth Accounts both have credited interest rate caps that
vary with issuance. The single premium deferred index-linked interest options annuity and single purchase
payment deferred index-linked variable annuity have risk control accounts, with a combination of upside crediting
strategies including caps, participation rates, and dual step rates and downside protection options of floors,
buffers, and boosts applied based on the performance of an external index. For positive index performance, caps
limit the interest credited to the policyholder at the cap; accounts with participation rates credit index performance
multiplied by the participation rate to the policyholder. Accounts with dual step rates credit the dual step rate if the
index return is above the contracts buffer rate. For negative index performance, floors represent the maximum
negative interest credited a policyholder can receive, while the buffer represents the maximum negative index
return for an interest term that will not result in negative interest credited to the contract. Accounts with a boost will
receive the index return plus the boost rate when returns are negative. Interest is credited at the end of each
interest term during the selected index term based on the allocation between risk control accounts and the
performance of an external index during that contract year. At the end of the initial index term for the single
premium deferred index-linked annuity, only the Secure Account will be available as an option to the policyholder.
Policy and Contract Claim Reserves
Liabilities established for unpaid benefits for life insurance contracts represent the estimated amounts required to
cover the ultimate cost of settling reported and incurred but unreported losses. These estimates are adjusted in
the aggregate for ultimate loss expectations based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends.
Any change in the probable ultimate liabilities, which might arise from new information emerging, is reflected in
the statutory basis statements of operations in the period the change is determined to be necessary. Such
adjustments could be material.
The policy and contract claim reserves are 100% ceded to CMFG Life.
Policy Reserves
Life insurance reserves: Policies issued on or after January 1, 2020, follow the NAIC Valuation Manual Standard
20 (Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Life Products, or VM-20) as minimum reserve requirements
(Principle-Based Reserving, or "PBR"). Specifically, current PBR reserves are held at the prescribed VM-20
Section 3 Net Premium Reserve floor ("NPR"). Policies issued prior to January 1, 2020, follow minimum reserves
pursuant to the applicable requirements in VM-A and VM-C under the NAIC Valuation Manual. Traditional life
insurance reserves are computed on either the net level reserve basis or the Commissioner's Reserve Valuation
Method ("CRVM") basis dependent on product type and issue date using applicable mortality tables and interest
rate assumptions.
The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns the portion
of the final premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of legally computed
reserves.
Extra premiums are charged for substandard lives, plus the gross premium for a rated age. Mean reserves are
determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the rated age and holding, plus one-half of the
extra premium charge for the year.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, tabular cost and tabular interest on funds not involving life
contingencies have all been determined by formulas prescribed by the Insurance Department.

Individual annuity reserves: Policyholder reserves related to individual annuity contracts are computed using the
Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM), along with the NAIC Valuation Manual Standard 21
(Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Variable Annuities, or VM-21), for equity indexed annuities and
variable annuities, during the contract accumulation period and the present value of future payments for contracts
that have annuitized. Policy reserves related to the registered index annuities contracts are computed using
CARVM, along with Actuarial Guideline ("AG") 33 and 35 and VM-21 for policies greater than ten days after issue;
for the first ten days, the reserve is equal to the return of premium. A reserve floor for all deferred annuities is set
equal to the cash surrender value.
The policy reserves are 100% ceded to CMFG Life.
Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts
The Company recognizes a liability for policyholder deposits that are not subject to policyholder mortality or
longevity risk at the stated account value. The account value equals the sum of the original deposit plus
accumulated interest, less any withdrawals and expense charges. Such deposits primarily represent annuity
contracts without life contingencies.
The liability for deposit-type contracts is 100% ceded to CMFG Life.
Statutory Valuation Reserves
The IMR is maintained for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against gains and losses on
sales of investments that are primarily attributable to changing interest rates. The interest rate-related gains and
losses are deferred and amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities sold. If the IMR is
calculated to be a net asset, the Company admits the IMR asset until it reaches 10% of adjusted capital and
surplus.
The Company's gains and losses on sales of investments were transferred to IMR in compliance with the
Company's investment policies and procedures. Asset sales that generated admitted negative IMR were not
compelled by liquidity pressures. The table below provides information regarding the admitted negative IMR.

Other Liabilities
The Company issues the registered index annuities on the 10th and 25th of each month. The Company
recognizes a liability on contracts for which it has received cash, but has not issued a contract. Other liabilities
primarily consist of these customer funds pending completion of the policy issuance process. The customer funds
are released from other liabilities when the policy application is completed.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Update
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted updated NAIC guidance related to its bond definition project that
clarified the definition of bond investments. The new principles-based bond definition criteria is applied to
securities to determine whether they should be classified as bonds, equity securities or other invested assets for
statutory reporting purposes. Under the new guidance, a bond must represent a creditor relationship with a fixed
payment schedule and qualify as either an issuer credit obligation or an asset-backed security. Securities with
equity-like characteristics or ownership interests are not bonds and are to be reported separately. Upon adoption,
the Company did not have any material changes to the classification of investments. The NAIC guidance did not
require retrospective adjustment to previously presented amounts.

Other-Than-Temporary Investment Impairments
Investment securities are reviewed for OTTI on an ongoing basis. The Company creates a watchlist of securities
based primarily on the fair value of an investment security relative to its amortized cost. When the fair value drops
below the Company's amortized cost, the Company monitors the security for OTTI. The determination of OTTI
requires significant judgment on the part of the Company and depends on several factors, including, but not
limited to:
•The existence of any plans to sell the investment security.
•The extent to which fair value is less than statement value.
•The underlying reason for the decline in fair value (credit concerns, interest rates, etc.).
•The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer/borrower, including the ability to meet
contractual obligations, relevant industry trends and conditions and cash flow analysis.
•For mortgage-backed and structured securities, the Company's intent and ability to retain its investment
for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value.
•The Company's ability to recover all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreements.
•The Company's collateral position, in the case of bankruptcy or restructuring.
A bond or note is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the fair value is less than the amortized
cost basis and its value is not expected to recover through the Company's holding period. When this occurs, the
Company records a realized capital loss equal to the difference between the amortized cost and fair value. The
fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired security becomes its new amortized cost. If the bond is a loan-
backed or structured security, it is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the amortized cost
exceeds the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and its value is not expected to recover through
the Company's holding period. The amount of the OTTI recognized in the Statutory Basis Statement of Operations
as a realized loss equals the difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its expected cash
flows.
Management believes it has made an appropriate provision for other-than-temporarily impaired securities owned
at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Future declines in fair value may result in additional OTTI. Additional OTTI will
be recorded as appropriate and as determined by the Company's regular monitoring procedures of additional
facts. In light of the variables involved, such additional OTTI could be significant.
The Company did not recognize any OTTI on mortgage-backed and structured securities during 2025, 2024, and
2023 caused by an intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold until recovery of the amortized cost basis.

Note 4: Fair Value
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and liabilities and to estimate
fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value. Certain
financial instruments, such as insurance policy liabilities other than deposit-type contracts, are excluded from the
fair value disclosure requirements. The Company uses fair value measurements obtained using observable inputs
or internally determined estimates to estimate fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of assets and
liabilities into three broad levels. The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the degree of
subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, as follows:
•Level 1: Inputs are directly observable and represent quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2: All significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices
included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in
active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii)
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments and (iv) inputs that are derived
principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
•Level 3: One or more significant inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company's estimates of the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions
about risk.
For purposes of determining the fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, observable inputs are those
inputs used by market participants in valuing financial instruments, which are developed based on market data
obtained from independent sources. In the absence of sufficient observable inputs, unobservable inputs,
reflecting the Company's estimates of the assumptions market participants would use in valuing financial assets
and liabilities, are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company uses
prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In some instances, valuation inputs used to
measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy
is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The hierarchy requires the use of market observable information when available for measuring fair value. The
availability of observable inputs varies by investment. In situations where the fair value is based on inputs that are
unobservable in the market or on inputs from inactive markets, the determination of fair value requires more
judgment and is subject to the risk of variability. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in
determining fair value is typically greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Transfers in and out of level
categories are reported as having occurred at the end of the quarter in which the transfer occurred.

Valuation Process
The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and
methodologies. The Company uses a consistent application of valuation methodologies and inputs and
compliance with accounting standards through the execution of various processes and controls designed to
provide assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued.
The Company has policies and guidelines that require the establishment of valuation methodologies and
consistent application of such methodologies. These policies and guidelines govern the use of inputs and price
source hierarchies and provide controls around the valuation processes. These controls include appropriate
review and analysis of prices against market activity or indicators of reasonableness, approval of price source
changes, price overrides, methodology changes and classification of fair value hierarchy levels. The valuation
policies and guidelines are reviewed and updated as appropriate.
For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company's processes are designed to
provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the
assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are
appropriately recorded. The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies,
processes, and controls of valuation service providers. In addition, the Company may validate the
reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to
other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. When using internal valuation models, these models
are developed by the Company's investment group using established methodologies. The models, including key
assumptions, are reviewed with various investment sector professionals, accounting, operations, compliance, and
risk management professionals. In addition, when fair value estimates involve a high degree of subjectivity, the
Company validates them through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are
independent of those charged with executing investment transactions.
Transfers Between Levels
There were no transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards require disclosure of fair value information about certain on and off-balance sheet financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.

The carrying amounts for accrued net investment income and certain receivables and payables approximate fair
value due to their short-term nature and have been excluded from the fair value tables above.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for
financial instruments by fair value hierarchy level:
Level 1 Measurements
Cash equivalents: Consists of money market mutual funds reported as cash equivalents. Valuation for money
market mutual funds is based on the closing price on an exchange at December 31.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

MEMBERS Life Insurance Company
Notes to Statutory Basis Financial Statements
($ in 000s)
|
Level 2 Measurements
Bonds and notes: Valuation is principally based on observable inputs including quoted prices for similar assets in
markets that are active and observable market data.
Separate account assets and liabilities: Separate account assets are investments in mutual funds and unit
investment trusts in which the contract holders could redeem their investment at net asset value per share at the
measurement date with the investee; and mutual funds where valuation is principally based on observable inputs
including quoted prices for similar assets in markets that are active and observable market data. Separate
account liabilities represent the account value owed to the customer; the fair value is determined by reference to
the fair value of the related separate account assets.
Note 5: Income Tax
The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of CMHC along with the following
affiliates, which are also subsidiaries of CMHC: CMFG Life, CUMIS Mortgage Reinsurance Company, CUMIS

The nonadmitted deferred tax asset increased $7,823 in 2025 and increased $1,757 in 2024. There are no known
deferred tax liabilities not recognized. Gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a statutory valuation allowance
adjustment if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based
on the Company's assessment, no valuation allowance was required as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any federal capital loss, operating loss, or credit
carryforwards.
Income taxes incurred in 2025, 2024, and 2023 of $0, $11, and $0, respectively, are available for recoupment in
the event of future capital losses.
The Company did not have any protective tax deposits under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company did not have any tax contingencies as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and has no tax loss

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to tax contingencies, if any, in income tax
expense in the statutory basis statements of operations.
The Company is included in a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return filed by CMHC. The Company also
files income tax returns in various states. The Company is subject to tax audits. These audits may result in
additional tax liabilities. For the major jurisdictions where it operates, the Company is generally no longer subject
to income tax examination by tax authorities for the years ended before 2022.
The corporate alternative minimum tax is effective for tax years after 2022. The Company has determined that it is
a nonapplicable reporting entity that does not reasonably expect to be an applicable corporation as a member of
its tax return consolidated group for the 2025 tax year.
Note 6: Related Party Transactions
In the normal course of business, the Company has various transactions with related entities, primarily CMFG
Life, such as information technology support, benefit plan administration and costs associated with accounting,
actuarial, tax, investment and administrative services. In certain circumstances, expenses are shared between the
companies. Expenses incurred that are specifically identifiable with a particular company are borne by that
company; other expenses are allocated among the companies on the basis of time and usage studies. Amounts
due from related party activity are settled periodically, with certain transactions settled daily. The Company
reimbursed CMFG Life and other affiliates $108,708, $103,323 and $104,772 for allocated expenses in 2025,
2024, and 2023, respectively. Additionally, the Company was reimbursed $350, $393, and $253 for allocated
expenses in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, $43,393 and $39,555 was due to CMFG Life for such expense
sharing transactions and related party borrowing transactions, as described above.
The Company utilizes CBSI, which is 100% owned by CMIC, to distribute its annuity products. Beginning in May
2022, CBSI advisors are licensed with LPL Financial LLC ("LPL"), an unaffiliated third party, such that starting in
June 2022, commissions are paid to LPL prior to being collected by CBSI. The Company recorded commission
expenses for this service of $30,501 in 2025, $31,837 in 2024 and $27,586 in 2023, which is included in
insurance taxes, licenses, fees and commissions.
The Company did not receive a capital contribution in 2025, 2024, or 2023.

Note 7: Reinsurance
The Company entered into coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements with its affiliate, CMFG Life, to
cede 100% of its life, accident and health, and annuity business. The Company entered into the agreements for
the purpose of limiting its exposure to loss on any one single insured, diversifying its risk and limiting its overall
financial exposure to certain products, and to meet its overall financial objectives. The Company retains the risk of
loss in the event that CMFG Life is unable to meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements.
The following table shows the effect of reinsurance on premiums, contract charges, benefits and surrenders, and
increase in policy reserves for 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Note 9: Statutory Financial Data and Dividend Restrictions
RBC requirements promulgated by the NAIC and adopted by the Insurance Department require U.S. life insurers
to maintain minimum capitalization levels that are determined based on formulas incorporating asset risk,
insurance risk, and business risk. The adequacy of the Company's actual capital is evaluated by a comparison to
the RBC results, as determined by the formula. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's adjusted capital
exceeded the RBC minimum requirements, as required by the NAIC.
The Company is subject to statutory regulations as to maintenance of policyholders' surplus and payment of
stockholder dividends. Generally, dividends to a parent must be reported to the appropriate state regulatory
authority in advance of payment and extraordinary dividends, as defined by statutes, require regulatory approval.
The Company cannot pay stockholder dividends in 2026 without regulatory approval.
Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is liable for guaranty fund assessments related to unaffiliated insurance companies that have
become insolvent during 2025 and prior years. The Company includes a provision for all known assessments that
will be levied as well as an estimate of amounts that it believes will be assessed in the future relating to past
insolvencies. The Company has established a liability of $150 and $178 at December 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, for guaranty fund assessments. The Company also estimates the amount recoverable from future
premium tax payments related to these accrued and paid assessments and has established an asset of $2,502
and $2,382 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The assessment is primarily related to Bankers Life
and Colorado Bankers Life insurance company bankruptcies. Recoveries of assessments from premium taxes are
generally made over a five year period.

Legal Matters
Various legal and regulatory actions, including state market conduct exams and federal tax audits, are currently
pending that involve the Company and specific aspects of its conduct of business. Like other members of the
insurance industry, the Company is routinely involved in a number of lawsuits and other types of proceedings,
some of which may involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts. These actions are based on a variety
of issues and involve a range of the Company's practices. The ultimate outcome of these disputes is
unpredictable.
These matters in some cases raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many
uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to, the underlying facts of each matter; novel legal issues;
variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, heard or investigated; differences in
applicable laws and judicial interpretations; the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by
settlement, through litigation or otherwise and, in some cases, the timing of their resolutions relative to other
similar matters involving other companies. In connection with regulatory examinations and proceedings,
government authorities may seek various forms of relief, including penalties, restitution and changes in business
practices. The Company may not be advised of the nature and extent of relief sought until the final stages of the
examination or proceeding. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from all such
pending actions will not materially affect the statutory basis financial statements of the Company.
Note 11: Unassigned Surplus

Note 12: Separate Accounts
Separate accounts represent funds that are invested to support the variable component of the Company's
obligations under the flexible premium variable and index-linked deferred annuity contracts.
The general account of the Company has a maximum guarantee of separate account variable annuity liabilities,
which have been ceded to CMFG Life (see Note 7 - Reinsurance), of $974 and $999 as of December 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively. The general account did not pay towards the variable annuity guarantees in 2025 or 2024.
The separate account did not pay risk charges to the general account related to these guarantees in 2025 or
2024.
Information relating to the Company's flexible premium variable separate account business as of December 31 is

Reinsurance Contract Interrogatories
Year Ended December 31, 2025
|
1.MLIC has applied reinsurance accounting, as described in SSAP No. 61R, to reinsurance contracts entered
into, renewed or amended on or after January 1, 1996, which do not include risk-limiting features, as
described in SSAP No. 61R.
2.MLIC has not entered into, renewed or amended reinsurance contracts on or after January 1, 1996, which
contain provisions that allow (1) the reporting of losses or settlements with the reinsurer to occur less
frequently than quarterly or (2) payments due from the reinsurer to not be made in cash within ninety days of
the settlement date unless there is no activity during the period.
3.MLIC has not entered into, renewed or amended reinsurance contracts on or after January 1, 1996, which
contain a payment schedule, accumulating retentions from multiple years or any features inherently designed
to delay timing of the reimbursement to the ceding company.
4.MLIC has not ceded any risk during the period ended December 31, 2025 under any reinsurance contracts
entered into, renewed or amended on or after January 1, 1996 accounted for as reinsurance under GAAP and
as a deposit under SSAP No. 61R.
5.MLIC cedes 100% of its annuity business to CMFG Life, which is accounted for as reinsurance ceded under
statutory accounting. These contracts are accounted for as investment-type contracts under GAAP; as such,
deposits are not reported as revenues for GAAP. Consequently, deposit accounting is used to account for the
reinsurance agreement for GAAP.
