REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of each of the subaccounts of Companion Life Separate Account C (the “Account”) listed in Note 2 as of December 31, 2023; the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended for each of the subaccounts, except for the subaccounts indicated in the table below, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the subaccounts listed in Note 2 constituting the Account as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (or for the periods listed in the table below), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Account’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and disclosures of assets at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions include those used in investment valuation in absence of quoted market prices.

Security Valuation and Related Investment Income - Investments are made in the portfolios of the Separate Account and are valued at the reported net asset values of such portfolios, which value their investment securities at fair value. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Income from dividends and gains from realized gain distributions are recorded on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investments are determined based on the average cost of investments sold.

The investments of the Separate Account and Companion Life Separate Account B are jointly held in accounts with the investment managers.

Contracts in Payout (Annuitization) period - Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout period are computed according to the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. The assumed investment return is 4.0%. The mortality risk is fully borne by Companion and may result in additional amounts being transferred into the subaccounts of the Separate Account by Companion to cover greater longevity of annuitants than expected. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to Companion. These items are included in the adjustment to net assets allocated to contracts in payout year.

Federal Income Taxes - Net taxable income or loss of the subaccounts of the Separate Account are included in the federal taxable income of Companion, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under current provisions of the IRC, Companion does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the subaccounts of the Separate Account to the extent that earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the subaccounts of the Separate Account for federal income taxes. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts in the event of changes in the tax law.

As of December 31, 2023, there were no positions for which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

Fair Value Measurements - Current fair value guidance requires financial instruments measured at fair value to be categorized into a three-level classification. The lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of a financial instrument is used to categorize the instrument and reflects the judgment of management. The valuation criteria is summarized as follows:

 

Level 1 -    Inputs are unadjusted and represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the measurement date.
Level 2 -    Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset through correlation with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3 -    Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset at the measurement date. Financial assets presented at fair value and categorized as Level 3 are generally those that are valued using unobservable inputs.

Each subaccount invests in shares of mutual funds, which calculate a daily net asset value based on the value of the underlying securities in the portfolio. As such, the investments held in the Separate Account were valued using Level 2 inputs as defined by the applicable fair value guidance.

Payments Received from Contract Owners - In the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, the line item “Payments received from contract owners” includes both deposits received from policyholders and the net gains and losses resulting from the timing of executed trades.

Subsequent Events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 4, 2024, the date these financial statements were issued.

ACCOUNT CHARGES

Mortality & Expense Risk Charges:

Companion deducts a daily charge as compensation for the mortality and expense risks assumed by Companion. The annual rate is a percentage of the net asset value of each subaccount based on the following products:

         Series I  1.25%        Series V  1.00%

These charges are assessed through reduction of unit values. Companion guarantees that the mortality and expense charge will not increase above these levels.

Administrative Charges:

Companion deducts a daily administrative expense charge from the net assets of the subaccounts of the Separate Account. The annual rate is a percentage of the net asset value of each subaccount based on the following products:

         Series I  0.15%          Series V  0.20%

These charges are assessed through reduction of unit values. Companion guarantees that the daily administrative expense charge will not increase.

Contract Maintenance Charges:

Withdrawal Charge - Companion may deduct a withdrawal charge, expressed as a percentage of accumulation value surrendered or withdrawn. The withdrawal charge percentage varies depending upon the number of years elapsed since the date the purchase payment was made. The amount of the withdrawal requested plus the withdrawal charge is deducted from the accumulation value on the date the request is received as a redemption of units. Withdrawal charges are applied as a percentage of the requested withdrawal and range from 0% - 7%.

Transfer Fees - A transfer fee of $10 may be imposed for any non-systematic transfer in excess of twelve per contract year. The transfer fee is deducted from the amount transferred on the transfer date as a redemption of units.

Contract Fee - There is an annual contract fee of $30 that is deducted from the accumulated value on the last valuation date of each contract year or at complete surrender. The annual contract fee is waived if the accumulated value is greater than $50,000 on the last valuation date of the applicable contract year. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units. Companion guarantees that the annual contract fee will not increase.

*

These ratios represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying portfolio, net of management fees assessed by the portfolio manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the distribution of dividends by the underlying portfolio in which the subaccount invests.

**

These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account for each year indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying portfolio are excluded.

***

These ratios represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying portfolio, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the Separate Account. The total return is calculated for each year indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting year or liquidation date.

****

Funds listed with date ranges represent partial year investments in funds. Unit values displayed represent unit value at disposition value.
