In the report, the analyst notes:

"Continued adverse capital and credit market conditions may limit PNX's access to liquidity and affect the availability and cost of borrowed funds...The principal internal sources of its liquidity are insurance premiums, annuity considerations, deposit funds and cash flow from its investment portfolio and assets, consisting mainly of cash or assets that are readily convertible into cash.

"PNX announced earlier this year that A.M. Best Co. has downgraded the financial strength rating to 'B++' (Good) from 'A' (Excellent) and issuer credit ratings to 'BBB+' from 'A' of the core life insurance entities of The Phoenix Companies, Inc.
