[ ] -2- PART I Item 1. Business General InterContinental Life Corporation ("ILCO", the "Company" or the "Registrant") was originally incorporated in 1969 under the laws of the State of New Jersey. During 1997, ILCO transferred its domicile from New Jersey to the State of Texas. This change was approved by vote of the shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on June 19, 1997. Its executive offices are located at 701 Brazos, Suite 1400, Austin, Texas 78701. The Company is principally engaged, through its subsidiaries, in administering existing portfolios of life insurance policies and annuity products. Prior to the end of 1997, the life insurance subsidiaries also administered an in-force book of accident and health insurance business. In December, 1997, the life insurance subsidiaries entered into an agreement, effective as of June 30, 1997, with a third party insurer whereby the obligations under the accident and health insurance and the disability income business of the companies were assumed by the reinsurer. The arrangement provides for an initial period of reinsurance on a coinsurance basis, pending applicable approvals of the assumption arrangement. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are also engaged in the business of marketing and underwriting individual life insurance and annuity products in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Such products are marketed through independent, non-exclusive general agents. The Company is controlled by Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC"), a life insurance holding company, through FIC's ownership of approximately 44.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. FIC, ILCO and their insurance subsidiaries have substantially identical management, and a majority of the directors of ILCO are also directors of FIC and ILCO's and FIC's insurance subsidiaries. Officers allocate their time between ILCO and FIC in accordance with the comparative requirements of both companies and their subsidiaries. Roy F. Mitte, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of FIC, the Company and their insurance subsidiaries, is the beneficial owner of approximately 30.71% of the outstanding shares of FIC's common stock. FIC owns Family Life Insurance Company, a Washington domiciled underwriter of mortgage protection life insurance. The Company was organized in 1969 to be the publicly owned holding company for InterContinental Life Insurance Company ("ILIC"). The Company acquired Standard Life Insurance Company ("Standard Life") in 1986, Investors Life Insurance Company of California ("Investors-CA") and Investors Life Insurance Company of North America ("Investors-NA") in 1988, Meridian Life Insurance Company, renamed Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana ("Investors-Indiana"), in February, 1995, State Auto Life Insurance Company (via merger of that company into Investors- Indiana in 1997) and Grinnell Life Insurance Company (via merger of that company into Investors- Indiana in 1998). -3- Acquisitions Strategy. The Company's strategy has been and continues to be to grow internally and through acquisitions, while maintaining an emphasis on cost controls. Management believes that, under appropriate circumstances, it is more advantageous to acquire companies with books of in-force life insurance than to produce new business, because initial underwriting costs have already been incurred and mature business is generally less likely to terminate, making possible more predictable profit analysis. However, the Company's insurance subsidiaries continue to market those products that are profitable, as well as develop new products and streamline distribution channels. See "Agency Operations". It is also management's belief that the continuing consolidation in the life insurance industry presents attractive opportunities for the Company to acquire life insurance companies that complement or fit within the Company's existing marketing structure and product lines. The Company's objective is to improve the profitability of acquired businesses by consolidating and streamlining the administrative functions of these businesses, eliminating unprofitable products and distribution channels, applying its marketing expertise to the acquired company's markets and agents, and benefitting from economies of scale. The Company's ability to make future acquisitions will be dependent on its being able to obtain the necessary financing. In addition, since FIC has the same acquisition strategy as ILCO, a conflict of interest could arise in the future between ILCO and FIC with respect to acquisition opportunities. Completed Acquisitions. a. Standard Life. In November 1986, the Company acquired Standard Life, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, for a gross purchase price of $54,500,000. b. Investors-NA and Investors-CA. In December 1988, the Company, through Standard Life, purchased Investors-CA and Investors-NA from CIGNA Corporation for a purchase price of $140 million. c. Investors-Indiana. On February 14, 1995, ILCO, through Investors-NA, purchased from Meridian Mutual Insurance Company the stock of Meridian Life Insurance Company, an Indianapolis-based life insurer, for a cash purchase price of $17.1 million. After the acquisition, Meridian Life changed its name to Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana ("Investors-Indiana"). d. State Auto Life. On July 9, 1997, ILCO and Investors-Indiana acquired State Auto Life Insurance Company, an Ohio domiciled life insurer, from State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company, for an adjusted cash purchase price of $11.8 million. Under the terms of the transaction, State Auto Life was merged into Investors-Indiana. e. Grinnell Life. On June 30, 1998, ILCO, through a subsidiary, acquired Grinnell Life Insurance Company ("Grinnell Life") for an adjusted purchase price of $16.6 million. A portion of the purchase price ($12.37 million) was paid by way of a dividend to the seller immediately prior to the closing of the transaction; the balance of the purchase price was paid by ILCO's subsidiary. -4- As part of the transaction, Grinnell Life was immediately merged with and into that subsidiary, with that subsidiary being the surviving entity. Merger of Insurance Subsidiaries. Investors-NA redomesticated from Pennsylvania to Washington in December of 1992. Investors-CA merged into Investors-NA on December 31, 1992, and Standard Life merged into Investors-NA on June 29, 1993. The mergers have achieved cost savings, such as reduced auditing expenses involved in auditing one combined company; the savings of expenses and time resulting from the combined company being examined by one state insurance department (Washington), rather than three (California, Pennsylvania and Mississippi); the reduction in the number of tax returns and other annual filings with 45 states; and smaller annual fees to do business and reduced retaliatory premium taxes in most states. In December, 1997, InterContinental Life Insurance Company ("ILIC"), an ILCO subsidiary, transferred its domicile from New Jersey to Indiana. Following completion of the redomestication, ILIC merged with Investors-Indiana, with ILIC as the surviving entity in the merger process. Immediately after the merger, ILIC changed its name to Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana. As used hereinafter, the phrase "Investors-IN" shall be used to refer to the merged entities. As a result of the merger, Investors-IN is licensed in 47 states and the District of Columbia. As of December 31, 1999, it had assets of $176.4 million and capital and surplus of $23 million. Management believes that these acquisitions and consolidations have caused a reduction in expenses and have further strengthened the financial condition of the combined companies. Operations The Company has developed management techniques to reduce operating expenses by centralizing, standardizing and more efficiently performing many functions common to most life insurance companies, such as underwriting and policy administration, accounting and financial reporting, marketing, regulatory compliance, actuarial services and asset management. The Company has selectively recruited personnel in sales, marketing and various administrative departments. The Company's centralized management techniques resulted in significant employee reductions and expense savings in the life insurance companies acquired by the Company. During 1999, the general insurance expenses of the Company's insurance subsidiaries on a statutory basis were $15,910,308, as compared to $15,172,682 in 1998 and $15,574,265 in 1997. The level of expenses for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was affected by expenses incurred in connection with Year 2000 compliance (see the discussion under the caption "Data Processing"). For the year 1998, the level of expenses was also affected by expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Grinnell Life Insurance Company. Expenses for the year 1997 were also affected by the acquisition in July of that year of State Auto Life. Management is committed to maintaining the general insurance expenses of the Company's insurance subsidiaries at a level which will generate an acceptable level of profitability while maintaining the competitive pricing of their insurance products. -5- The number of employees within the Company and its subsidiaries (including employees who also perform administrative services for Family Life) was approximately 312 at December 31, 1999. Principal Products The Company's insurance subsidiaries are engaged primarily in administering existing portfolios of life insurance policies and annuity products. Approximately 79% of the total collected premiums for 1999 were derived from renewal premiums on insurance policies and annuity products sold by the insurance subsidiaries prior to their acquisition by the Company. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are also engaged in marketing and underwriting individual life insurance and annuity products in 49 states and the District of Columbia. These products are marketed through independent, non-exclusive general agents. The products currently being distributed include several versions of universal life insurance, which provide permanent life insurance protection while crediting company-declared current interest rates to the cash value of the policy. The universal life insurance portfolio of the Company's insurance subsidiaries consists primarily of flexible premium universal life insurance policies. Under the flexible premium policies, policyholders may vary the amounts of their coverage (subject to minimum and maximum limits) as well as the date of payment and frequency of payments. Direct statutory premiums received from all types of universal life products were $34.3 million in 1999, as compared to $38.9 million in 1998 and $40.6 million in 1997. Investors-NA received reinsurance premiums from Family Life of $3.2 million in 1999, pursuant to the reinsurance agreement for universal life products written by Family Life. In 1999, premium income from all life insurance products was derived from all states in which the Company's insurance subsidiaries are licensed, with significant amounts derived from Pennsylvania (14%), Ohio (9%), California (8%) and New Jersey (8%). The Company's insurance subsidiaries received premium income from health insurance policies. In 1999, premium income from all health insurance policies was $0.8 million, as compared to $1.0 million in 1998 and $0.9 million in 1997. As described below, the health insurance business of the Company's subsidiaries is 100% reinsured with a third party reinsurer. In December, 1997, ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries entered into a reinsurance treaty under which most of the contractual obligations and risks under accident and health insurance policies were assumed by a third party reinsurer. The transfer was effective as of July 1, 1997. These risks and contractual obligations were sold pursuant to, first, a coinsurance reinsurance agreement. Following applicable regulatory approvals, the reinsurer will assume the direct obligations of the companies, on an assumption reinsurance basis. The decision to dispose of this book of business was based on management's analysis that the business was not generating targeted profit objectives and that the products were not part of the core business of the subsidiaries. The sale permits the companies to -6- focus on its primary business - life insurance and annuity sales. In connection with the transaction, the total amount of net reserves transferred by the subsidiaries was $6,327,504. In addition to the transfer of reserves, the life companies paid the reinsurer $1,037,150 in connection with the transaction, which amount was accounted for as an expense for the year ended December 31, 1997. In 1997, the transferred business generated approximately $791,000 in annualized premiums. Investors-NA sponsors a variable annuity separate account, which offers single premium and flexible premium policies. The policies provide for the contract owner to allocate premium payments among four different portfolios of Putnam Variable Trust (the "Putnam Fund"), a series fund which is managed by Putnam Investment Management, Inc. As of December 31, 1999, the assets held in the separate account were $48.4 million. During 1999, the premium income realized in connection with these variable annuity policies was $117,666, which was received from existing contract owners. Investors-NA also maintains a closed variable annuity separate account, with approximately $19.8 million of assets as of December 31, 1999. The separate account was closed to new purchases in 1981, as a result of an IRS ruling which adversely affected the status of variable annuity separate accounts which invest in publicly-available mutual funds. The ruling did not adversely affect the status of in-force contracts. For the past several years, ILCO's life companies expanded their marketing efforts in the fixed annuity market. Direct deposits from the sale of fixed annuity products were $7.6 million in 1999, as compared to $6.1 million in 1998, and $3.5 million in 1997. Investors-NA also received reinsurance premiums from Family Life of $1.8 million in 1999, pursuant to a reinsurance agreement for annuity products between Investors-NA and Family Life Insurance Company. During the fourth quarter of 1998, Investors-NA developed a group deposit administration product, designed for use in connection with the funding of deferred compensation plans maintained by government employers under section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code. The company has established a marketing relationship with a third-party administrator based in San Antonio, Texas, which has established relationships with school districts in Texas. Enrollments under the program commenced during 1999, which contributed $0.9 million of the annuity premiums for that year. In October, 1999, a marketing subsidiary of the Company entered into a marketing agreement with a third- party life insurance company. The marketing agreement makes available, to appointed agents of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries, a portfolio of term life insurance products not currently being offered by the subsidiaries. The underwriting risk on the products sold under this arrangement is assumed by the third-party insurer. The Company's appointed agents receive commissions on the sales of these products and the Company's marketing subsidiary receives an override commission. -7- The following table sets forth, for the three years ended December 31, 1999, the combined premium income and other considerations received by the Company's insurance subsidiaries from sales of their various lines of insurance. Year Ended December 31, Type of Insurance Premium 1999 1998 1997 (In thousands) Individual: Life $10,647 $10,528 $10,163 Accident & Health 808 994 792 Total Individual Lines 11,455 11,522 10,955 Group: Life 3,164 2,323 2,639 Accident & Health 0 11 40 Total Group Lines 3,164 2,334 2,679 Credit: Life (14) (21) (27) Accident & Health (1) (3) 14 Total Credit Lines (15) (24) (13) Total Premium 14,604 13,832 13,621 Reinsurance Premiums Ceded (3,472) (2,942) (2,590) Total Net Premium 11,132 10,890 11,031 Amount Received on Investment Type Contracts 45,536 48,739 47,862 Total Premiums and Deposits Received $56,668 $59,629 $58,893
-8- Investment of Assets The assets held by the Company's insurance subsidiaries must comply with applicable state insurance laws and regulations pertaining to life insurance companies. The investment portfolio of the Company's insurance subsidiaries is tailored to reflect the nature of the insurance obligations, business needs, regulatory requirements and tax considerations relating to the underlying insurance business with respect to such assets. This is particularly the case with respect to interest-sensitive life insurance and deferred annuity products, where the investment emphasis is to obtain a targeted margin of profit over the rate of interest credited to policyholders, while endeavoring to minimize the portfolio's exposure to changing interest rates. To reduce the exposure to such rate changes, portfolio investments are selected so that diversity, maturity and liquidity factors approximate the duration of associated policyholder liabilities. The investment objective of the Company's insurance subsidiaries emphasizes the selection of short to medium term high quality fixed income securities, rated Baa-3 (investment grade) or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. As of December 31, 1999, only 2.1% of the Company's total assets were invested in mortgage loans or real estate. Non-affiliated corporate debt securities that were non-investment grade represented 0.1% of the Company's total assets at December 31, 1999. The Company had investments in debt securities of affiliated corporations aggregating $41.5 million as of December 31, 1999. Investments in mortgage-backed securities included collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") of $178.9 million and mortgage-backed pass-through securities of $29.1 million at December 31, 1999. Mortgage-backed pass-through securities, sequential CMOs and support bonds, which comprised approximately 52.0% of the book value of the Company's mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 1999, are sensitive to prepayment and extension risks. The Company has reduced the risk of prepayment associated with mortgage-backed securities by investing in planned amortization class ("PAC"), target amortization class ("TAC") instruments, accretion directed bonds and scheduled bonds. These investments are designed to amortize in a predictable manner by shifting the risk of prepayment of the underlying collateral to other investors in other tranches ("support classes") of the CMO. PAC and TAC instruments and accretion directed and scheduled bonds represented approximately 48.0% and sequential and support classes represented approximately 38% of the book value of the Company's mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 1999. In addition, the Company limits the risk of prepayment of CMOs by not paying a premium for any CMOs. The Company does not invest in mortgage-backed securities with increased prepayment risk, such as interest-only stripped pass-through securities and inverse floater bonds. The prepayment risk that certain mortgage-backed securities are subject to is prevalent in periods of declining interest rates, when mortgages may be repaid more rapidly than scheduled as individuals refinance higher rate mortgages to take advantage of the lower current rates. As a result, holders of mortgage-backed securities may receive large prepayments on their investments which cannot be reinvested at an interest rate comparable to the rate on the prepaying mortgages. The Company did not make additional investments in CMOs during 1999. For the year 2000, the Company's investment objectives include the making of selected investments in CMOs. -9- The Company does not invest in non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which have a greater credit risk than that of agency mortgage-backed securities. The Company does not make new mortgage loans on commercial properties. Substantially all of the Company's mortgage loans were made by its subsidiaries prior to their acquisition by the Company. At December 31, 1999, none of the mortgage loans held by the Company had defaulted as to principal or interest for more than 90 days, and none of the Company's mortgage loans were in foreclosure. During 1999, the Company wrote off the value of approximately $81,000 of principal and interest on mortgage loans which had defaulted as to principal and interest payment for more than 90 days. Another key element of the Company's investment strategy is to avoid large exposure in other investment categories which the Company believes carry higher credit or liquidity risks, including private placements, partnerships and bank participations. These categories accounted for approximately 0.3% of the Company's invested assets at December 31, 1999. Investors-NA was the owner and developer of Bridgepoint Square Offices. Following the completion of the construction, the project consisted of four office buildings, with a total rentable space of approximately 364,000 square feet, and two parking garages. Investors-NA purchased the 20 acre tract of land for this complex in January, 1995. At that time, the tract included one completed and fully leased office building, an adjacent parking garage, and sites for three more office buildings and another parking garage. Investors-NA completed construction of the three remaining office buildings and parking garage in 1997. In May, 1996, Family Life Insurance Company ("FLIC"), an indirect, 100% owned subsidiary of FIC, purchased a 7.1 acre tract adjacent to the original Bridgepoint Square tract. This second tract contained one building site and one garage site. In January, 1997, FLIC began construction on a four-story office building, with rentable space of approximately 76,793 square feet, and the parking garage, with 350 parking spaces. In May, 1997, the entire rentable space was leased to a major tenant in the technology business. Construction of the parking garage and the building shell was completed in October, 1997. In November, 1997, Investors-NA and Family Life entered into a sale agreement with an independent third party for the sale of their respective interests in Bridgepoint Square Offices. The transaction, which closed on December 5, 1997, was for an aggregate price of $78 million. The sale resulted in a net pre-tax profit to Investors-NA of approximately $14.6 million, and a net pre-tax profit to Family Life of approximately $4.5 million. See Item 2. Properties. In October, 1998, Investors-NA purchased two adjoining tracts of land located in Austin, Texas totaling 47.995 acres. The aggregate purchase price for these tracts was $8.1 million. Investors-NA has obtained approval of a site plan development proposal for these tracts. The development permit provides for the construction of seven office buildings totaling 600,000 square feet, with associated parking, drives and related improvements. The initial phase of the project ("Phase One") will consist of two office buildings, associated parking and the infrastructure for the entire project. Construction on Phase One began during the first quarter of 1999 and is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2000. -10- The Company has established and staffed an investment department, which manages portfolio investments and investment accounting functions for ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries. Agency Operations ILCO's insurance subsidiaries collectively market through the "Investors" distribution system. Independent non-exclusive agents, general agents and brokers are recruited nation-wide to sell the products. Such agents and brokers also sell insurance products for companies in competition with ILCO's insurance subsidiaries. In order to attract agents and enhance the sale of its products, the Company's insurance subsidiaries pay competitive commission rates and provide other sales inducements. The Investors sales distribution system is presently concentrating its efforts on the promotion and sale of universal life, term life and fixed annuity products. Marketing and sales for all of the Company's insurance subsidiaries are directed by the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales. The Senior Vice President for Investors Sales directs Regional Vice Presidents who are responsible for the recruitment and maintenance of the general agents and managing general agents for individual insurance sales. During 1999, the Company implemented a plan to restructure the compensation arrangements for Regional Vice Presidents, so as to emphasize the role of personal production by the RVPs. Data Processing Since December, 1994, the data processing needs of ILCO's and FIC's insurance subsidiaries have been provided to ILCO's and FIC's Austin, Texas and Seattle, Washington facilities by FIC Computer Services, Inc., a subsidiary of FIC. See Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions with Management. As the provider of data processing for the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, FIC Computer Services, Inc. utilizes a centralized computer system to process policyholder records and financial information. In addition, the Company uses non-centralized computer terminals in connection with its operations. In response to the potential operations and policy administration problems caused by the computer calendar change on January 1, 2000, the management of the Company instructed FIC Computer Services, Inc. to analyze its system capabilities and the operational requirements of the Company and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates with respect to the Y2K problem. In 1996, FIC Computer Services, Inc. conducted the analysis of all of the Company's systems. After reviewing that analysis, the Company determined that a plan should be devised to prevent the data processing errors that would be encountered due to the Y2K problem. In November, 1996, a three-year plan outlining a proposed solution (the "Year 2000 Plan") was established and approved by the Company to ensure that all of the data processing systems would be Y2K compliant or converted onto Y2K compliant systems. The Company began the major work under the Year 2000 Plan in 1997 and the work, including extensive testing of the converted systems, was completed during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company did not experience any material disruptions in the processing of its business as a result of the Year 2000 date change. -11- The Company established the Year 2000 Plan because FIC Computer Services, Inc.'s analysis revealed that those systems that are not converted or modified into Y2K compliant systems, may produce policy administration errors as a result of the calendar change, requiring that the life insurance subsidiaries manually administer those policies. This would have resulted in a material increase in administrative costs incurred by the life insurance subsidiaries of both ILCO and FIC. The Company's analysis also indicated that, in addition to potential policy administration errors in the life insurance subsidiaries, any machine which contains a microchip is subject to error due to the Y2K problem. Such an occurrence could not only create errors in the Company's internal systems, but those of the Company's suppliers and service providers. In order to prepare for this contingency, the Year 2000 Plan called for the acquisition of new mainframe hardware and software, and the modification and conversion of the Company's telephones, voice mail and desk-top personal computers. The Year 2000 Plan included the conversion of certain systems onto the Company's CK/4 System, a system which is designed to be Y2K compliant according to the representations of the vendor. Those systems which are not converted were upgraded by changing individual lines of computer code in order to modify current operating software such that it became Y2K compliant. In order to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of the modifications and conversions made to the various systems, FIC Computer Services, Inc. acquired testing software to simulate dates on or after January 1, 2000. Additionally, FIC Computer Services, Inc. ran the systems through model office cycles and also conducted visual inspections of screen displays to determine whether the systems functioned in a Y2K compliant manner. The various software applications described above are licensed to the Company under agreements which permit the Company's subsidiaries to process business on its computer systems utilizing such software. Under the Year 2000 Plan, FIC Computer Services, Inc. utilized its own personnel, acquired Y2K compliant operating software, and engaged the assistance of outside consultants to facilitate the systems conversions and modifications. For the twelve month period ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred an after tax cost of approximately $195,000 in connection with the Year 2000 Plan, as compared to an after tax expense of approximately $158,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $140,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. With respect to non-centralized systems (i.e., desktop computers), the Company obtained updated software releases and new hardware designed to be Y2K compliant according to the representations of the vendors. The effort needed to correct for Y2K problems on such systems was less time intensive than the effort needed to achieve compliance for its centralized systems. The installation of such new PC hardware and software was commenced in early 1999 and was completed during the fourth quarter of 1999. -12- The Company also faced the risk that one or more of its external suppliers of goods or services ("third party providers") would not be in a position to properly interact with the Company due to the inability of such third party provider to resolve its own Y2K issues. Pursuant to the Year 2000 Plan, the Company completed an inventory of its third party provider relationships. In order to assess the Y2K readiness of such third party providers, the Company developed and forwarded a detailed questionnaire to such providers. As the responses to the questionnaires were received, the Company evaluated the overall Y2K readiness of its third party provider relationships. The Company did not experience any material problems with its third-party vendors which were related to the Year 2000 date change. Competition There are many life and health insurance companies in the United States. A significant number of casualty companies also market health insurance. Agents placing insurance business with ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries are compensated on a commission basis. However, some companies pay higher commissions and charge lower premium rates and many companies have more substantial resources. The principal cost and competitive factors that affect the Company's ability to sell its life insurance and annuity products on a profitable basis are: (1) the general level of premium rates for comparable products; (2) the extent of individual policy holder services required to service each product category; (3) general interest rate levels; (4) competitive commission rates and related marketing costs; (5) legislative and regulatory requirements and restrictions; (6) the impact of competing insurance and other financial products; and (7) the condition of the regional and national economies. Reinsurance and Reserves Reinsurance Ceded. In accordance with general practices in the insurance industry, the Company's insurance subsidiaries limit the maximum net losses that may arise from large risks by reinsuring with other carriers. Such reinsurance provides for a portion of the mortality risk to be retained (the "Retention") with the excess being ceded to a reinsurer at a premium set forth in a schedule based upon the age and risk classification of the insured. The reinsurance treaties provide for allowances that help the Company's insurance subsidiaries offset the expense of writing new business. Investors-IN generally retains the first $60,000 to $100,000 of risk on the life of any individual, depending upon the type of coverage being written. Investors-NA generally retains the first $100,000 to $250,000 of risk on the life of any individual, depending on the type of coverage being issued. Investors-NA maintains a bulk reinsurance treaty, under which it reinsured all of its risks under accidental death benefit policies. The treaty was most recently renegotiated with the current reinsurer in January, 1997. -13- As discussed above (see "Principal Products"), in December, 1997, ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries entered into a reinsurance treaty under which all of the contractual obligations and risks under individual accident and health insurance policies were assumed by a third party reinsurer. In connection with the transaction, the total amount of net reserves transferred by the subsidiaries was $6,327,504. In addition to the transfer of reserves, the life companies paid the reinsurer $1,037,150 in connection with the transaction, which amount was accounted for as an expense for the year ended December 31, 1997. Although reinsurance does not eliminate the exposure of the Company's insurance subsidiaries to losses from risks insured, the net liability of such subsidiaries will be limited to the portion of the risk retained, provided that the reinsurers meet their contractual obligations. The Company's insurance subsidiaries carry reserves on their books to meet future obligations under their outstanding insurance policies. Such reserves are believed to be sufficient to meet policy obligations as they mature and are calculated using assumptions for interest, mortality, expenses and withdrawals in effect at the time the policies were issued. Reinsurance Assumed. In 1995, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life pertaining to universal life insurance written by Family Life. The reinsurance agreement is on a co-insurance basis and applies to all covered business with effective dates on and after January 1, 1995. The agreement applies to only that portion of the face amount of the policy which is less than $200,000; face amounts of $200,000 or more are reinsured by Family Life with a third party reinsurer. In 1996, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life, pertaining to annuity contracts written by Family Life. The agreement applies to contracts written on or after January 1, 1996. These reinsurance arrangements reflect management's plan to develop universal life and annuity business at Investors-NA, with Family Life concentrating on the writing of term life insurance products. FIC's Acquisition of Control of the Company In January, 1985, FIC acquired 26.53% of ILCO's common stock. FIC and Family Life subsequently acquired additional shares of ILCO's common stock and as of March 15, 2000, FIC owned, directly and indirectly through Family Life, approximately 44.5% of the outstanding shares of ILCO's common stock. FIC's Acquisition of Family Life After FIC acquired control of ILCO, FIC's primary involvement in the insurance industry was its indirect investment, through ILCO, in ILCO's insurance subsidiaries. In June 1991, FIC acquired Family Life Insurance Company, ("Family Life"), based in Seattle, Washington, from Merrill Lynch Insurance Group, Inc. -14- Family Life specializes in underwriting and selling mortgage protection life insurance to customers who are mortgage borrowers from financial institutions where Family Life has marketing relationships. Family Life distributes its insurance products primarily through a national career sales force in 49 states and the District of Columbia. The $114 million purchase price for Family Life and an additional $5 million for transaction costs, working capital and other related purposes were financed by: (a) a $50 million senior loan provided by a group of banks, (b) $44 million subordinated notes issued to the seller and its affiliates and (c) $25 million senior subordinated notes issued to Investors-CA and Investors-NA. In addition, FIC granted to Investors-CA and Investors-NA nontransferable options to purchase up to a total of 9.9% of FIC's common stock at a price of $10.50 per share, equivalent to the then current market price, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. As a result of the five-for-one stock split implemented by FIC, effective in November, 1996, the exercise price of the options was changed to $2.10 per share. The initial terms of the option provided for their expiration on June 12, 1998, if not previously exercised. In connection with the 1996 amendments to the subordinated loans held by Investors-NA, the expiration date of the options was extended to September 12, 2006. For a discussion of the 1996 amendments, see Item 13, "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions with Management" . In July, 1993, the subordinated notes held by the seller and its affiliates were prepaid. The primary source of the funds used to prepay the subordinated debt was a new subordinated loan of $34.5 million obtained from Investors-NA. See Item 13. Senior Loan The Senior Loan of ILCO was originally arranged in connection with the 1988 acquisition of Investors-NA and Investors-CA. In January, 1993, the Company refinanced its Senior Loan. That transaction was done in connection with the prepayment of the subordinated indebtedness and the purchase of warrants which had been issued as part of the financing of the 1988 acquisitions. The terms of the amended and restated credit facility are substantially the same as the terms and provisions of the 1988 senior loan. The maturity date, which had been December 31, 1996, was extended to July 1, 1998 for the Senior Loan. The average interest rate paid by the Company on its Senior Loan was approximately 7.68% during 1997 and 7.63% during 1998. In February, 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $15 million under the Senior Loan to help finance the acquisition of Investors-IN, and the maturity date of the Senior Loan was further extended to July 1, 1999. As of December 31, 1995, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $59.4 million. In January, 1996, the Company made a scheduled payment of $4.5 million under its Senior Loan. In March, 1996, the Company made the scheduled payments for April 1st and July 1st, totaling $9 million. At that same time, the Company made a payment of $941,000, an additional payment under the terms of the loan applied to the principal balance. On April 1, 1996, an optional principal payment in the amount of $15 million was made, which resulted in advancing the scheduled payoff date of the Senior Loan to April 1, 1998. In July, -15- 1996, the Company made the principal payment for October 1st ($4.5 million), plus an optional principal payment of $0.5 million. In connection with the acquisition of State Auto Life Insurance Company in July, 1997, the Senior Loan agreement was modified to extend the maturity date to October 1, 1998. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $11.0 million, which reflected the prepayment by the Company of the payment originally scheduled for January 1, 1998. A regular payment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on April 1, 1998 and a prepayment of the July 1, 1998 installment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on June 30, 1998. The outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $3.6 million at June 30, 1998. The final installment on the senior loan obligation scheduled for October 1, 1998, was prepaid on September 30, 1998. As a result, the senior loan obligation of ILCO was fully discharged effective September 30, 1998. Regulation General. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by the states in which they are licensed to do business. Such regulation is designed primarily to protect policy owners. Although the extent of regulation varies by state, the respective state insurance departments have broad administrative powers relating to the granting and revocation of licenses to transact business, licensing of agents, the regulation of trade practices and premium rates, the approval of form and content of financial statements and the type and character of investments. These laws and regulations require the Company's insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain minimum surplus levels and to file detailed periodic reports with the supervisory agencies in each of the states in which they do business and their business and accounts are subject to examination by such agencies at any time. The insurance laws and regulations of the domiciliary states of the Company's insurance subsidiaries require that such subsidiaries be examined at specified intervals. Investors-NA and Investors-IN are domiciled in the states of Washington and Indiana, respectively. In December, 1992, Investors-NA redomesticated from Pennsylvania to Washington, and Investors-CA merged into Investors-NA. In June, 1993, Standard Life merged into Investors-NA. Prior to December, 1997, Investors-IN was domiciled in the State of New Jersey. In December, 1997, Investors-IN transferred its domicile to the State of Indiana. A number of states regulate the manner and extent to which insurance companies may test for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) antibodies in connection with the underwriting of life insurance policies. To the extent permitted by law, the Company's insurance subsidiaries consider AIDS information in underwriting coverage and establishing premium rates. An evaluation of the financial impact of future AIDS claims is extremely difficult, due in part to insufficient and conflicting data regarding the incidence of the disease in the general population and the prognosis for the probable future course of the disease. -16- Risk-Based Capital Requirements. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") has imposed Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements to evaluate the adequacy of statutory capital and surplus in relation to investment and insurance risks associated with; (i) asset quality; (ii) mortality and morbidity; (iii) asset and liability matching; and (iv) other business factors. The states will use the RBC formula as an early warning tool to discover potential weakly capitalized companies for the purpose of initiating regulatory action. The RBC requirements are not intended to be a basis for ranking the relative financial strength of insurance companies. The formula also defines a new minimum capital standard which will supplement the prevailing system of low fixed minimum capital and surplus requirements on a state-by-state basis. The RBC requirements provide for four different levels of regulatory attention in those states that adopt the NAIC regulations, depending on the ratio of the company's Total Adjusted Capital (which generally consist of its statutory capital, surplus and asset valuation reserve) to its Authorized Control Level RBC. A "Company Action Level Event" is triggered if a company's Total Adjusted Capital is less than 200% but greater than or equal to 150% of its Authorized Control Level RBC, or if a negative trend has occurred (as defined by the regulations) and Total Adjusted Capital is less than 250% but more than 200% of its Authorized Control Level RBC. When a Company Action Level Event occurs, the company must submit a comprehensive plan to the regulatory authority which discusses proposed corrective actions to improve its capital position. A "Regulatory Action Level Event" is triggered if a company's Total Adjusted Capital is less than 150% but greater than or equal to 100% of its Authorized Control Level RBC. When a Regulatory Action Level Event occurs, the regulatory authority will perform a special examination of the company and issue an order specifying corrective actions that must be followed. An "Authorized Control Level Event" is triggered if a company's Total Adjusted Capital is less than 100% but greater than or equal to 70% of its Authorized Control Level RBC, and the regulatory authority may take any action it deems necessary, including placing the company under regulatory control. A "Mandatory Control Level Event" is triggered if a company's total adjusted capital is less than 70% of its Authorized Control Level RBC, and the regulatory authority is mandated to place the company under its control. Calculations using the NAIC formula and the statutory financial statements of the Company's insurance subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 indicate that the Total Adjusted Capital of each of the Company's insurance subsidiaries is above 750% of its respective Authorized Control Level RBC. Solvency Laws Assessments. The solvency or guaranty laws of most states in which the Company's insurance subsidiaries do business may require the Company's insurance subsidiaries to pay assessments (up to certain prescribed limits) to fund policyholder losses or liabilities of insurance companies that become insolvent. Recent insolvencies of insurance companies increase the possibility that such assessments may be required. These assessments may be deferred or forgiven under most guaranty laws if they would threaten an insurer's financial strength and, in certain instances, may be offset against future premium taxes. The insurance companies record the expense for guaranty fund assessments in the period assessed. For the year ended December 31 1999, the Company's insurance subsidiaries received a net credit on its guaranty fund assessment returns in the amount of $13,478. The likelihood and amount of any other future assessments cannot be estimated and are beyond the control of the Company. -17- Surplus Debentures and Dividends. The Company receives payments from Investors-NA under the terms of two surplus debentures. The surplus debentures were originally issued by Standard Life. Upon the merger of Standard Life into Investors-NA, the obligations of the surplus debentures were assumed by Investors-NA. Since Investors-NA is domiciled in the State of Washington, the provisions of Washington insurance law apply to the surplus debentures. Under the provisions of the surplus debentures and current law, Investors-NA can pay interest and principal on the surplus debentures without having to obtain the prior approval of the Washington Insurance Commissioner; provided that, after giving effect to such payments, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA is in excess of $10 million. As of December 31, 1999, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA was $72.6 million. Investors-NA does give five-days prior notification to the Washington Insurance Department of each proposed payment on the surplus debentures in accordance with an agreement between Investors-NA and the Department. ILCO does not anticipate that Investors-NA will have any difficulty in making principal and interest payments on the surplus debentures. Pursuant to the surplus debentures, Investors-NA paid to the Company principal and interest on the surplus debentures of $14,093,711 in 1997, $13,382,361 in 1998 and $10,859,115 in 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding principal balance of the surplus debentures was $0.956 million and $4.94 million, respectively. The terms of the latter debenture provided for final payment of the remaining principal on September 30, 1999. In September, 1999, Investors-NA and ILCO amended the payment schedule to provide for payment of the remaining balance in four installments, with the final installment being due July 1, 2000. In addition to the payments under the terms of the Surplus Debentures, ILCO has received dividends from its insurance subsidiaries. Washington's insurance code includes the "greater of" standard for payment of dividends to shareholders, but has requirements that prior notification of a proposed dividend be given to the Washington Insurance Commissioner and that cash dividends may be paid only from earned surplus. Under the "greater of" standard, an insurer may pay a dividend in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 10% of policyholder surplus or (ii) the insurer's net gain from operations for the previous year. As of December 31, 1999, Investors-NA had earned surplus of $51.6 million. Since the law applies only to dividend payments, the ability of Investors-NA to make principal and interest payments under the Surplus Debentures is not affected. ILCO does not anticipate that Investors-NA will have any difficulty in making principal and interest payments on the Surplus Debentures . Investors-IN is domiciled in the State of Indiana. Under the Indiana insurance code, a domestic insurer may make dividend distributions upon proper notice to the Department of Insurance, as long as the distribution is reasonable in relation to adequate levels of policyholder surplus and quality of earnings. Under Indiana law the dividend must be paid from earned surplus. Extraordinary dividend approval would be required where a dividend exceeds the greater of 10% of surplus or the net gain from operations for the prior fiscal year. Investors-IN had earned surplus of $18.1 million at December 31, 1999. -18- Valuation Reserves. Commencing in 1992, the Mandatory Securities Valuation Reserve ("MSVR") required by the NAIC for life insurance companies was replaced by a mandatory Asset Valuation Reserve ("AVR") which is expanded to cover mortgage loans, real estate and other investments. During 1997, a change in the NAIC's AVR procedures resulted in a one-time reduction in the amount of the reserves held by ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries, with a corresponding one- time increase in the amount of surplus. For Investors-NA, the amount of the increase in surplus was $2,395,000; for Investors-IN, the amount of the increase in surplus was $590,000. A new mandatory Interest Maintenance Reserve ("IMR"), designed to defer realized capital gains and losses due to interest rate changes on fixed income investments and to amortize those gains and losses into future income, is also effective for 1992. Previously, realized capital gains attributable to interest rate changes were credited to the MSVR and had the effect of reducing the required MSVR contributions of ILCO's insurance subsidiaries. Effective in 1992, such realized capital gains are credited to the IMR. As a result of these changes, management believes that the Company's insurance subsidiaries are required to accrue greater aggregate asset valuation reserves. The combination of the AVR and IMR will affect statutory capital and surplus and may reduce the ability of the Company's insurance subsidiaries to pay dividends and make payments on the surplus debentures. Insurance Holding Company Regulation. Investors-NA and Investors-IN are subject to regulation under the insurance and insurance holding company statutes of Washington and Indiana. The insurance holding company laws and regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally require insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries of insurance holding companies to register with the applicable state regulatory authorities and to file with those authorities certain reports describing, among other information, their capital structure, ownership, financial condition, certain intercompany transactions and general business operations. The insurance holding company statutes also require prior regulatory agency approval or, in certain circumstances, prior notice of certain material intercompany transfers of assets as well as certain transactions between insurance companies, their parent companies and affiliates. Under the Washington and Indiana insurance holding company laws, unless (i) certain filings are made with the respective department of insurance, (ii) certain requirements are met, including a public hearing and (iii) approval or exemption is granted by the respective insurance commissioner, no person may acquire any voting security or security convertible into a voting security of an insurance holding company, such as the Company, which controls an insurance company domiciled in that state, or merge with such a holding company, if as a result of such transaction such person would "control" the insurance holding company. "Control" is presumed to exist if a person directly or indirectly owns or controls 10% or more or the voting securities of another person. Potential Federal Regulation. Although the federal government generally does not directly regulate the insurance industry, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business. Congress and certain federal agencies are investigating the current condition of the insurance industry (encompassing both life and health and property and casualty insurance) in the United States in order -19- to decide whether some form of federal role in the regulation of insurance companies would be appropriate. Congress is currently conducting a variety of hearings relating in general to the solvency of insurers. It is not possible to predict the outcome of any such congressional activity nor the potential effects thereof on the Company's insurance subsidiaries. Congressional initiatives directed at repeal of the McCarran-Ferguson Act (which exempts the "business of insurance" from most federal laws, including the antitrust laws, to the extent it is subject to state regulation) and judicial decisions narrowing the definition of "business of insurance" for McCarran-Ferguson Act purposes may limit the ability of insurance companies in general to share information with respect to rate-setting, underwriting and claims management practices. Current and proposed federal measures which may also significantly affect the insurance industry include minimum solvency requirements and removal of barriers preventing banks from engaging in the insurance business. Federal Income Taxation The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1990 amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to require a portion of the expenses incurred in selling insurance products to be deducted over a period of years, as opposed to an immediate deduction in the year incurred. Since this change only affects the timing of the deductions, it does not affect tax expense as shown on the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the change will increase the tax for statutory accounting purposes in the first few years, which will reduce statutory surplus and, accordingly, may decrease the amount of cash dividends that Investors-NA can pay to the Company. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the decreases in the current income tax provisions of the Company's insurance subsidiaries due to this change were $269,633, $253,411 and $409,193, respectively. The change has a negative tax effect for statutory accounting purposes when the premium income of the Company's insurance subsidiaries increases, but has a positive tax effect when their premium income decreases. Segment Information The principal operations of the Company's insurance subsidiaries are the underwriting of life insurance and annuities. Accordingly, no separate segment information is required to be provided by the Registrant for the three-year period ending December 31, 1999. Item 2. Properties The Registrant's headquarters are currently located at Austin Centre, 701 Brazos, Suite 1400, Austin, Texas. Investors-NA purchased Austin Centre, an office-hotel property in downtown Austin in August, 1991 for a purchase price of $31,275,000 from an unrelated seller that had previously acquired the property through foreclosure. In September, 1995, Investors-NA entered into a contract to sell Austin Centre to an Austin-based real estate investment firm for a purchase price of $62.675 -20- million, less $1 million to be paid to a capital reserve account for the purchaser. The sale was consummated on March 29, 1996. A portion of the sale proceeds equal to the amount that Investors- NA presently had invested in Austin Centre were retained and reinvested by Investors-NA. The balance of the net proceeds of the sale were used to reduce ILCO's bank indebtedness by approximately $15 million. Following the sale of the Austin Centre, the Company and its affiliates continued to occupy three floors of the office space under a lease arrangement. The current lease, which was entered into in May, 1997, is for a five (5) year term ending in October, 2002, with options to renew for three successive five (5) year terms thereafter. In January, 1995, ILCO, through Investors-NA, purchased, as an investment property, an office building project known as Bridgepoint Office Square in Austin, Texas for a cash purchase price of $9.75 million. The property consists of 20 acres of land with four office building sites and two parking structure sites. The first phase of development of the property was completed in 1986 and consists of a five-story office building with 83,474 square feet of rentable space and a 550-car parking garage. In the fourth quarter of 1995, construction began on the second office building, containing approximately 109,000 rentable square feet, and the other parking garage containing approximately 871 spaces. That phase of the project was completed in September, 1996. In March, 1996, construction commenced on the third office building, with approximately 79,000 rentable square feet of office space and was completed in December, 1996. Construction began on the fourth building in July, 1996 and was completed in July, 1997. The fourth building contains approximately 92,459 rentable square feet. On May 3, 1996, Family Life Insurance Company, an indirect, 100% owned subsidiary of FIC, purchased a tract of land adjoining the Bridgepoint Office Square tract for a cash purchase price of $1.3 million. The property consists of 7.1 acres of land with one office building site and one parking structure site. Family Life began construction of the fifth building (known as "Bridgepoint Five") on the new site in January, 1997. Construction of the parking garage and the building shell was completed in October, 1997. On November 24, 1997, Investors-NA and Family Life entered into a contract with Health and Retirement Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Purchaser") to sell their respective interests in the Bridgepoint Square Office complex. The aggregate purchase price for the project was $78,000,000. The transaction closed on December 5, 1997. The purchase price was allocated approximately 78.5% to Investors-NA and 21.5% to Family Life. The sale of Bridgepoint Office Square resulted in a net profit to Investors-NA of approximately $14.0 million ($9.1 million after tax) that was included in ILCO's fourth quarter earnings for the period ended December 31, 1997. For Family Life, the sale resulted in a net profit of approximately $4.5 million ($3.2 million after tax) that was included in FIC's fourth quarter earnings for the period ended December 31, 1997. On October 29, 1998, Investors-NA purchased two adjoining tracts of land located in Austin, Texas totaling 47.995 acres. The aggregate purchase price for these tracts was $8.1 million. Prior to the closing, Investors-NA obtained approval of Site Development Permit from the City of Austin for the -21- tracts. The Site Development Permit allows for the construction of seven office buildings totaling 600,000 square feet, with associated parking, drives and related improvements. The initial phase of the project ("Phase One") will consist of two office buildings, associated parking and the infrastructure for the entire project, which is known as River Place Pointe. Construction on Phase One commenced during the first quarter of 1999 and is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2000. The Company plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to space in one of the buildings during the third quarter of 2000. ILCO leases a building located at 40 Parker Road, Elizabeth, New Jersey. This building, which was formerly the Company's headquarters building, contains approximately 41,000 square feet of office space. The remaining term of the lease is 6 years, and the lease calls for a minimum base rental of $450,000 per annum. The lease provides that all costs including, but not limited to, those for maintenance, repairs, insurance and taxes be borne by ILCO. The Company has sub-leased the space in the property to third parties. Investors-IN owns three buildings which are adjacent to the 40 Parker Road building. One building, which is leased to third parties, contains approximately 3,500 square feet of space. The second building contains approximately 2,500 square feet of space and is leased to persons who perform maintenance services for Investors-IN's and ILCO's properties in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The third building, purchased during 1985, contains approximately 3,500 square feet of space, and is partially leased to third parties . Prior to December, 1999, Investors-NA owned an office building, located at 206 West Pearl Street, Jackson, Mississippi, which was the former headquarters of Standard Life Insurance Company (the "Standard Life Building"). This building is 68 years old and contains approximately 85,000 square feet (65,000 net rentable square feet) of office space. On December 29, 1999, Investors-NA donated the Standard Life Building to the Jackson Redevelopment Authority ("JRA"). Contemporaneously with the donation of the Standard Life Building, Investors-NA and Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC") sold all of the adjacent parcels they owned to the JRA for a total sale price of $2,500,000.00, which has been allocated according to the respective ownership interests of Investors-NA (approximately 59.28%) and FIC (approximately 40.72%). The donation and sale was made pursuant to the terms of the Donation, Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 17, 1998. Investors-NA intends to claim an income tax deduction on its upcoming tax return for the donation of the Standard Life Building, which has an appraised value at December 15, 1999 of approximately $3,050,000.00. The donation and sale transaction referenced above resulted in a net gain (GAAP basis) of $0.992 million for ILCO and $0.409 million for FIC (or a combined total of $1.401 million). The Company believes that its properties and leased space are adequate to meet its foreseeable requirements. -22- Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company and Investors-NA are defendants in a lawsuit which was filed in October, 1996, in Travis County, Texas. CIGNA Corporation, an unrelated company, is also a named defendant in the lawsuit. The named plaintiffs in the suit (a husband and wife), allege that the universal life insurance policies sold to them by INA Life Insurance Company (a company which was merged into Investors- NA in 1992) utilized unfair sales practices. The named plaintiffs seek reformation of the life insurance contracts and an unspecified amount of damages. The named plaintiffs also seek a class action as to similarly situated individuals. No certification of a class has been granted as of the date hereof. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter. In August, 1997, another individual filed a similar action in Travis County, Texas against the corporate entities identified above. The lawsuit involves the same type of policy and includes allegations which are substantially identical to the allegations in the first action. The named plaintiff also seeks class certification. The Company believes that the court would consider class certification with respect to only one of these actions. The Company also believes that this action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matter was submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 to a vote of security holders. -23- PART II Item 5.

Holders The approximate number of record holders of the common stock of the Registrant as of March 15, 2000 was 1,382. -24- C. Dividends In 1999, the Company paid a stock dividend in the amount of one share of common stock for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. The dividend was paid on March 17, 1999, to holders of record on March 8, 1999. No dividend was declared or paid by the Company during 1997 or 1998. Under the terms of its Senior Loan the Company was not permitted to declare or pay any dividends on its Common Stock during the term of the loan. As discussed above, under the caption "Senior Loan", the Senior Loan of the Company was fully repaid on September 30, 1998. The ability of an insurance holding company, such as ILCO, to pay dividends to its shareholders may be limited by the company's ability to obtain revenue, in the form of dividends and other payments, from its operating insurance subsidiaries. The right of such subsidiaries to pay dividends is generally restricted by the insurance laws of their domiciliary states. See Item 1. Business- Regulation - Surplus Debentures and Dividends. Item 6.

1. Data for the years 1995 to 1998 has been restated to reflect the effect of the stock dividend which was paid on March 17, 1999. 2. Net income per share for the years 1995 and 1996 has been restated to reflect the effect of FAS 128. -25- Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations For the year ended December 31, 1999, ILCO's net income was $12,765,000 (basic earnings of $1.45 per common share, or diluted earnings of $1.45 per common share) as compared to $11,119,000 (basic earnings of $1.27 per common share, or diluted earnings of $1.25 per common share) for the year 1998 and $20,540,000 (basic earnings of $2.38 per common share, or diluted earnings of $2.35 per common share) in 1997. Earnings per share are stated in accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 128, which establishes two measures of earnings per share: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised. For the year 1998 and 1997, earnings per share have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock dividend which was paid on March 17, 1999. Results of Operations Net income from continuing operations (excluding the gain resulting from the sale of Bridgepoint Square Offices in 1997, as described below) was $12,765,000 (basic earnings of $1.45 per common share, or diluted earnings of $1.45 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $11,119,000 (basic earnings of $1.27 per common share, or diluted earnings of $1.25 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $11,443,000 (basic earnings of $1.32 per common share, or diluted earnings of $1.31 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 1997. Net income for 1997 includes $9.1 million resulting from the sale of the Bridgepoint Square Offices, an office complex located in Austin, Texas. The selling price was $78 million, which was allocated approximately 78.5% to Investors-NA ($61.3 million). The sale closed on December 5, 1997. As part of the decision to sell the Bridgepoint properties, the Company canceled its plans to move its headquarters to one of the Bridgepoint buildings and entered into a new lease at the Austin Centre. Under the provisions of the lease, Investors-NA received a payment from the owner of the Austin Centre in the amount of $1.7 million. That amount is included in net income for the year ended December 31, 1997. -26- The results for 1998 include, for the period beginning on June 30, 1998, the operations of Grinnell Life Insurance Company. Grinnell Life was acquired on June 30, 1998, through a subsidiary of ILCO, for an adjusted purchase price of $16.6 million. A portion of the purchase price ($12.37 million) was paid by way of a dividend to the seller immediately prior to the closing of the transaction; the balance of the purchase price was paid by ILCO's subsidiary. As part of the transaction, Grinnell Life was immediately merged with and into that subsidiary, with that subsidiary being the surviving entity. The statutory earnings of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, as required to be reported to insurance regulatory authorities, before interest expense, capital gains and losses, and federal income taxes were $18,344,000 at December 31, 1999, as compared to $17,079,000 at December 31, 1998 and $20,192,000 at December 31, 1997. These statutory earnings are the source to provide for the repayment of ILCO's indebtedness. The operating strategy of the Company's management emphasizes several key objectives: expense management; marketing of competitively priced insurance products which are designed to generate an acceptable level of profitability; maintenance of a high quality portfolio of investment grade securities; and the provision of quality customer service. Premium income, net of reinsurance, for the year 1999 was $11.13 million, as compared to $10.89 million for the year 1998 and $11.03 million in 1997. Reinsurance premiums ceded were $3.47 million in 1999, as compared to $2.94 million in 1998 and $2.59 million in 1997. For the year 1997, ceded reinsurance includes the results of the sale of the accident and health and disability income insurance business of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries. In December, 1997, ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries entered into a reinsurance treaty under which all of the contractual obligations and risks under accident and health and disability income insurance policies were assumed by a third party reinsurer. These risks and contractual obligations were sold pursuant to, first, a coinsurance reinsurance agreement. Following applicable regulatory approvals, the reinsurer will assume the direct obligations of the companies, on an assumption reinsurance basis. The decision to dispose of this book of business was based on management's analysis that the business was not generating targeted profit objectives and that the products were not part of the core business of the subsidiaries. The sale permits the companies to focus on its primary business - life insurance and annuity sales. In connection with the transaction, the total amount of net reserves transferred by the subsidiaries was $6.33 million. In addition to the transfer of reserves, the life companies paid the reinsurer $1.04 million in connection with the transaction, which amount was accounted for as an expense for the year ended December 31, 1997. In 1997, the transferred business generated approximately $791,000 in annualized premiums. -27- Earned insurance charges for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $40.4 million, as compared to $41.1 million for the year 1998 and $40.9 million for 1997. This source of revenues is related to the universal life insurance and annuity book of business of Investors-NA. The increase in long-term interest rates during 1999, which was related to general economic conditions, had a negative effect upon the market value of the fixed maturities available for sale segment of the portfolio. As of December 31, 1999, the market value of the fixed maturities available for sale segment was $404.2 million, as compared to an amortized cost of $411.5 million, or an unrealized loss of $7.3 million. The net of tax effect of this decrease has been recorded as a decrease in shareholders' equity. During 1999, the lapse rate with respect to universal life insurance policies decreased slightly from the lapse rate experienced in 1998. The rate in 1999 was 6.30%, as compared to 7.25% in 1998. The lapse rate with respect to traditional (non-universal) life insurance policies increased from the levels experienced in 1998. The rate in 1999 was 8.15% as compared to 7.09% in 1998. The lapse rates experienced during the 1999 period were within the ranges anticipated by management. Liquidity and Capital Resources ILCO is a holding company whose principal assets consist of the common stock of Investors-NA and its subsidiary, Investors-IN. ILCO's primary source of funds consists of payments under two Surplus Debentures from Investors-NA. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $11.0 million, which reflected the prepayment by the Company of the payment originally scheduled for January 1, 1998. A regular payment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on April 1, 1998 and a prepayment of the July 1, 1998 installment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on June 30, 1998. The outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $3.6 million at June 30, 1998. The final installment on the senior loan obligation scheduled for October 1, 1998, was prepaid on September 30, 1998. As a result, the senior loan obligation of ILCO was fully discharged effective September 30, 1998. -28- ILCO receives periodic payments of principal and interest from Investors-NA, pursuant to the terms of the Surplus Debentures. The Surplus Debentures were originally issued by Standard Life Insurance Company and their terms were previously approved by the Mississippi Insurance Commissioner. Upon the merger of Standard Life into Investors-NA, the obligations of the Surplus Debentures were assumed by Investors-NA. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding principal balance of the Surplus Debentures was $0.956 million and $4.94 million, respectively. The terms of the latter debenture provided for final payment of the remaining principal on September 30, 1999. In September, 1999, Investors-NA and ILCO amended the payment schedule to provide for payment of the remaining balance in four installments, with the final installment being due July 1, 2000. Since Investors-NA is domiciled in the State of Washington, the provisions of Washington insurance law apply to the Surplus Debentures. Under the provisions of the Surplus Debentures and current law, no prior approval of the Washington Insurance Commissioner is required for Investors-NA to pay interest or principal on the Surplus Debentures; provided that, after giving effect to such payments, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA is in excess of $10 million (the "surplus floor"). However, Investors-NA has voluntarily agreed with the Washington Insurance Commissioner that it will provide at least five days advance notice of payments which it will make under the Surplus Debentures. At December 31, 1999, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA was $72.6 million, an amount substantially in excess of the surplus floor. The funds required by Investors-NA to meet its obligations to the Company under the terms of the Surplus Debentures are generated from operating income generated from insurance and investment operations. In addition to the payments under the terms of the Surplus Debentures, ILCO has received dividends from its life insurance subsidiaries. Washington's insurance code includes the "greater of" standard for payment of dividends to shareholders, but has a requirement that prior notification of a proposed dividend be given to the Washington Insurance Commissioner and that cash dividends may be paid only from earned surplus. As of December 31, 1999, Investors-NA had earned surplus of $51.6 million. Since the law applies only to dividend payments, the ability of Investors-NA to make principal and interest payments under the Surplus Debentures is not affected. ILCO does not anticipate that Investors-NA will have any difficulty in making principal and interest payments on the Surplus Debentures for the foreseeable future. -29- Investors-IN is domiciled in the State of Indiana. Under the Indiana insurance code, a domestic insurer may make dividend distributions upon proper notice to the Department of Insurance, as long as the distribution is reasonable in relation to adequate levels of policyholder surplus and quality of earnings. Under Indiana law the dividend must be paid from earned surplus. Extraordinary dividend approval would be required where a dividend exceeds the greater of 10% of surplus or the net gain from operations for the prior fiscal year. Investors-IN had earned surplus of $18.1 million at December 31, 1999. During 1999, Investors-IN made a dividend payment in the amount of $3 million to Investors-NA. The payment was made on June 29, 1999 after the advance notice required by the Indiana insurance code had been provided to the Indiana Department of Insurance. ILCO's net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities was $(20.89) million for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $(17.33) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 and $3.96 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The change between the 1997 and 1998 periods is primarily due to the payments made in connection with the reinsurance of the health insurance business and the payment in 1998 of income taxes relating to the gain on the sale of Bridgepoint Square Offices. Management believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short term investments are sufficient to meet the needs of its business. Investments As of December 31, 1999, the book value of the Company's investment assets totaled $678.8 million as compared to $702.1 million as of December 31, 1998. Total assets as of December 31, 1999 ($1.32 billion) decreased slightly from the level as of December 31, 1998 ($1.35 billion). The level of short-term investments at the end of 1999 was $191.7 million, as compared to $171.8 million at the end of 1998. Invested real estate and other invested assets increased from $10.03 million at December 31, 1998 to $21.15 million as of December 31, 1999. This increase is related to the purchase by Investors-NA of the 47.995 acres of land in Austin, Texas for the development of the River Place Pointe project. The land was purchased in October, 1998 by Investors-NA, for an aggregate purchase price of $8.1 million. Prior to the closing of the transaction, Investors-NA obtained a Site Development Permit for the tracts from the City of Austin. The Site Development Permit allows for the construction of seven office buildings totaling 600,000 square feet, with associated parking, drives and related improvements. Construction on Phase One commenced during the first quarter of 1999. Upon completion of Phase One, the Company plans to move its corporate headquarters to space in one of the buildings. The move is currently scheduled for the third quarter of 2000. In connection with the move, Investors-NA (the tenant under the lease of its current Austin Centre space) intends to sub- lease said space. Investors-NA plans to commence development of the additional stages of the River Place Pointe project following completion and leasing of Phase One. -30- Prior to December, 1999, Investors-NA owned an office building, located at 206 West Pearl Street, Jackson, Mississippi, which was the former headquarters of Standard Life Insurance Company (the "Standard Life Building"). This building is 68 years old and contains approximately 85,000 square feet (65,000 net rentable square feet) of office space. On December 29, 1999, Investors-NA donated the Standard Life Building to the Jackson Redevelopment Authority ("JRA"). Contemporaneously with the donation of the Standard Life Building, Investors-NA and Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC") sold all of the adjacent parcels they owned to the JRA for a total sale price of $2,500,000.00, which has been allocated according to the respective ownership interests of Investors-NA (approximately 59.28%) and FIC (approximately 40.72%). The donation and sale was made pursuant to the terms of the Donation, Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 17, 1998. Investors-NA intends to claim an income tax deduction on its upcoming tax return for the donation of the Standard Life Building, which has an appraised value at December 15, 1999 of approximately $3,050,000.00. The donation and sale transaction referenced above resulted in a net gain (GAAP basis) of $0.992 million for ILCO and $0.409 million for FIC (or a combined total of $1.401 million). The fixed maturities available for sale portion of invested assets at December 31, 1999 was $404.2 million. The amortized cost of the fixed maturities available for sale segment as of December 31, 1999 was $411.5 million, representing a net unrealized loss of $7.3 million. This unrealized loss principally reflects changes in interest rates from the date the respective investments were purchased. To reduce the exposure to interest rate changes, portfolio investments are selected so that diversity, maturity and liquidity factors approximate the duration of associated policyholder liabilities. The assets held by ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries must comply with applicable state insurance laws and regulations. In selecting investments for the portfolios of its life insurance subsidiaries, the Company's emphasis is to obtain targeted profit margins, while minimizing the exposure to changing interest rates. This objective is implemented by selecting primarily short- to medium-term, investment grade fixed income securities. In making such portfolio selections, the Company generally does not select new investments which are commonly referred to as "high yield" or "non- investment grade." The Company's fixed maturities portfolio (including short-term investments), as of December 31, 1999, included a non-material amount (0.1% of total fixed maturities and short-term investments) of debt securities which, in the annual statements of the companies as filed with state insurance departments, were designated under the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") rating system as "3" (medium quality) or below. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the comparable percentage was 0.6%. -31- The consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 1999 include $41.5 million of "Notes receivable from affiliates", represented by (i) a loan of $22.5 million from Investors-NA to Family Life Corporation and a $2.5 million loan from Investors-CA to Financial Industries Corporation (which is now owned by Investors-NA as a result of the merger of Investors-CA into Investors-NA) and $2.0 million of additions to the $2.5 million note made in accordance with the terms of such note; these loans were granted in connection with the 1991 acquisition of Family Life Insurance Company by a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIC (ii) a loan of $30 million by Investors-NA to Family Life Corporation made in July, 1993, in connection with the prepayment by the FIC subsidiaries of indebtedness which had been previously issued to Merrill Lynch as part of the 1991 acquisition and (iii) a loan of $4.5 million by Investors-NA to Family Life Insurance Investment Company made in July, 1993, in connection with the same transaction described above. As of June 12, 1996, the provisions of the notes from Investors-NA to FIC, FLC and FLIIC were modified as follows: (a) the $22.5 million note was amended to provide for twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $1,125,000 each, to commence on December 12, 1996; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2001; the interest rate on the note remains at 11%, (b) the $30 million note was amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $163,540 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases to $1,336,458; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (c) the $4.5 million note was amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $24,531 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases to $200,469; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (d) the $2.5 million note was amended to provide that the principal balance of the note is to be repaid in twenty quarterly installments of $125,000 each, commencing December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the rate of interest remains at 12% and (e) the Master PIK note, which was issued to provide for the payment in kind of interest due under the terms of the $2.5 million note prior to June 12, 1996, was amended to provide that the principal balance of the note, in the amount of $1,977,119, is to be paid in twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $98,855.95 each, to commence December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the interest rate on the note remains at 12%. In December, 1998, FLIIC was dissolved. In connection with the dissolution, all of the assets and liabilities of FLIIC became the obligations of FLIIC's sole shareholder (FIC). Accordingly, the obligations under the provisions of the $4.5 million note described above are now the obligations of FIC. The NAIC continued its rating of "3" to the "Notes receivable from affiliates", as amended. These loans have not been included in the preceding description of NAIC rating percentages. Management believes that the absence of any material amounts of "high-yield" or "non-investment grade" investments (as defined above) in the portfolios of its life insurance subsidiaries enhances the ability of the Company to service its debt, provide security to its policyholders and to credit relatively consistent rates of return to its policyholders. -32- Year 2000 Compliance The Company and its subsidiaries utilize a centralized computer system to process policyholder records and financial information. In addition, the Company uses non-centralized computer terminals in connection with its operations. In response to the potential operations and policy administration problems caused by the calendar change on January 1, 2000, the Company evaluated its centralized computer systems and developed a plan to reach Y2K compliance (the "Year 2000 Plan"). A central feature of the plan was to convert certain of the centralized systems to a common system which is already in compliance with Y2K requirements. The Year 2000 Plan called for a conversion of certain systems onto the Company's CK/4 System; a system which is designed to be Y2K compliant according to the representations of the vendor. Those systems which are not converted will be upgraded by changing individual lines of computer code in order to modify current operating software such that it will become Y2K compliant. In order to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of the modifications and conversions made to the various systems, FIC Computer Services acquired testing software to simulate dates on or after January 1, 2000. Additionally, FIC Computer Services ran the systems through model office cycles and also conducted visual inspections of screen displays to determine whether the systems are functioning in a Y2K compliant manner. The various software applications described above are licensed to the Company under agreements which permit the Company's subsidiaries to process business on its computer systems utilizing such software. The Company completed this systems conversion and testing prior to January 1, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company incurred an after-tax expense of approximately $195,000 in connection with the Year 2000 Plan, as compared to an after-tax expense of approximately $158,000 for the year 1998 and $140,000 for the year 1997. With respect to non-centralized systems (i.e., desktop computers), the Company obtained updated software releases and new hardware designed to be Y2K compliant according to the representations of the vendors. The installation of such new PC hardware and software was commenced in early 1999 and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company also faced the risk that one or more of its external suppliers of goods or services ("third party providers") would not be in a position to properly interact with the Company due to the inability of such third party provider to resolve its own Y2K issues. During 1999, the Company completed an inventory of its third party provider relationships. In order to assess the Y2K readiness of such third party providers, the Company developed and forwarded a detailed questionnaire to such providers. As the responses to the questionnaires were received, the Company evaluated the overall Y2K readiness of its third party provider relationships. The Company did not experience any material problems with its third-party vendors which were related to the Year 2000 date change. -33- Cautionary Statements for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 Except for historical factual information set forth in this Management's Discussion and Analysis, certain statements made in this report are forward looking and contain information about financial results, economic conditions and other risks and known uncertainties. The Company cautions the reader that actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the Company, depending upon the eventual outcome of certain factors, including: (1) heightened competition for new business, (2) significant changes in interest rates and (3) adverse regulatory changes affecting the business of insurance. Accounting Developments In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which revises the standards for computing earnings per share previously prescribed by APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." The Statement establishes two measures of earnings per share: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised. The Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities with potential dilutive securities outstanding. The Statement also requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation. The Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. However, a company may disclose pro forma earnings per share amounts that would have resulted if it had applied the Statement in an earlier period. The Company adopted FAS 128 in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. In June, 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as net income adjusted for changes in stockholders' equity resulting from events other than net income or transactions related to an entity's capital instruments. The Company adopted FAS 130 effective January 1, 1998, with reclassification of financial statements for earlier years. In June, 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Generally, FAS No. 131 requires that financial information be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating performance. The Company adopted FAS No. 131 effective January 1, 1998 and comparative information for earlier years has been restated. This statement does not need to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of application. The adoption of FAS No. 131 did not impact upon the Company's reporting of financial information. -34- In February, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", which revises current disclosure requirements for employers' pension and other retiree benefits. FAS No. 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The Company adopted FAS No. 132 effective January 1, 1998, with the effect of such adoption to be reflected in year-end financial statements. The adoption of FAS No. 132 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position. In December, 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments", which provides guidance on accounting for insurance-related assessments. The Company adopted SOP 97-3, effective January 1, 1999. Previously issued financial statements were required to be restated. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position. In June, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. FAS 133 is applicable to financial statements for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 as amended by FAS No. 137, "Accounting for the Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statements No. 133". The operations of the Company are not affected by the provisions of FAS No. 133. Subsequent Event On March 28, 2000, the Company purchased 546,000 shares of its common stock in a single transaction at a price of $9.25 per share. The purchase price was approximately $0.25 per share below the prevailing market price at the time of the purchase. The shares repurchased will be treated as treasury shares. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk General. ILCO's principal assets are financial instruments, which are subject to market risks. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, principally interest rates on fixed rate investments. For a discussion of the Company's investment portfolio and the management of that portfolio to reflect the nature of the underlying insurance obligations of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, please refer to the section entitled "Investment of Assets" in Item 1 of this report and the information set forth in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations - Investments". -35- The following is a discussion of the Company's primary market risk sensitive instruments. It should be noted that this discussion has been developed using estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those described below. Further, the following discussion does not take into account actions which could be taken by management in response to the assumed changes in market rates. In addition, the discussion does not take into account other types of risks which may be involved in the business operations of the Company, such as the reinsurance recoveries on reinsurance treaties with third party insurers. The primary market risk to the Company's investment portfolio is interest rate risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. Interest Rate Risk . Assuming an immediate increase of 100 basis points in interest rates, the net hypothetical loss in fair market value related to the financial instruments segment of the Company's balance sheet is estimated to be $23.3 million at December 31, 1999 and $17.1 million at December 31, 1998. For purposes of the foregoing estimate, the following categories of the Company's fixed income investments were taken into account: (i) fixed maturities, including fixed maturities available for sale, (ii) short-term investments and (iii) notes receivable from affiliates. The market value of such assets was $639.5 million at December 31, 1999 and $672.6 million at December 31, 1998. The fixed income investments of the Company include certain mortgage-backed securities. The market value of such securities was $208 million at December 31, 1999 and $250.8 million at December 31, 1998. Assuming an immediate increase of 100 basis points in interest rates, the net hypothetical loss in the fair market value related to such mortgage-backed securities is estimated to be $12.0 million at December 31, 1999 and $7.1 million at December 31, 1998. Separate account assets have not been included, since gains and losses on those assets generally accrue to the policyholders. The hypothetical effect of the interest rate risk on fair values was estimated by applying a commonly used model. The model projects the impact of interest rate changes on a range of factors, including duration and potential prepayment. Item 8.

(1) The executive officers of the Company have also been executive officers of the Company's insurance subsidiaries and FIC and FIC's insurance subsidiary, Family Life. FIC and/or Family Life reimbursed the Company (or, in the case of Mr. Mitte, authorized payment of) the following amounts as FIC's or Family Life's share of these executive officers' cash compensation and bonus for 1997, 1998 and 1999: (i) Mr. Mitte: $999,746, $1,111,821 and $1,111,821 respectively, which amounts are not included in the above table; (ii) Mr. Grace: $68,150, $64,152 and $62,694, respectively, which amounts are included in the above table; (iii) Dr. Payne: $68,150, $61,447 and $61,447, respectively, which amounts are included in the above table; and (iv) Mr. Demgen $66,548, $72,173 -44- and $76,500, respectively, which amounts are included in the above table. Dr. Payne elected to defer a portion ($13,000) of his 1998 compensation under the provisions of the Company's Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. See also, Note 5. (2) Does not include the value of perquisites and other personal benefits because the aggregate amount of any such compensation does not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10 percent of the total amount of annual salary and bonus for any named individual. (3) Includes the value realized by Mr. Grace in connection with the exercise of stock options. In 1999, Mr. Grace exercised options to purchase 24,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the Non-Qualified Option Plan. See "Aggregated Option Exercises in 1999" below. (4) Includes the value realized by Dr. Payne in connection with the exercise of stock options. In 1999, Dr. Payne exercised options to purchase 6,000 (which number does not reflect the stock dividend paid on April 17, 1999, since Dr. Payne exercised the options prior to the date of the dividend) shares of the Company's common stock under the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan . See "Aggregated Option Exercises in 1999" below. (5) The data in this column represents the amount of annual bonus awarded. The bonuses for Mr. Grace, Dr. Payne and Mr. Demgen for the year 1997 represent amounts paid in 1997, but include the bonuses awarded with respect to the years 1996 and 1997. Dr. Payne elected to defer the amounts shown for 1997, 1998 and 1999 into the Company's Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The Plan was established in 1997 to permit Mr. Grace and Dr. Payne to defer a portion of their compensation. Under the provisions of the Plan, contributions are invested on a money purchase basis and plan benefits are based on the value of the account at retirement or other distribution. In accordance with applicable tax law requirements, amounts allocated to the Plan are subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company. See also, Note 7. (6) The data in this column represents the number of shares available for exercise under options granted in 1999 under the 1999 ILCO Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. See also, "Option Grants in 1999", below. (7) All Other Compensation includes: (i) Company contributions to the InterContinental Life Corporation Employees Savings and Investment Plan. The amount of each such contribution for the years 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively, was as follows: (a) Mr. Grace: $1,350, $1,350 and $1,600, respectively, (b) Dr. Payne: $2,100, $2,100 and $1,600, respectively and (c) Mr. Demgen: $1,400, $1,615 and $ 1,600, respectively. (ii) amounts paid by the Company to Mr. Grace and Dr. Payne to supplement the benefits under the Company's Pension Plan. The Pension Plan supplement relates to each of the past service years for Mr. Grace and Dr. Payne which were affected by the limitation on compensation which the Pension Plan may take into account for benefit accrual purposes. Under federal pension rules, an employee's benefits under a qualified pension plan, such as the ILCO Pension Plan, are limited to certain maximum amounts. The amount of the -45- payments made in 1997 was determined by comparing the accrued benefit for the listed individuals under the ILCO Pension Plan through December 31, 1996 to the accrued benefit which the individual would have had under the Plan's benefit formula without application of the limitations applicable to tax qualified retirement plans. The value of the difference, representing an amount payable for life commencing at normal retirement age, was then commuted to its present value, which amount is included in this column. In 1998, the Company made similar payments, with respect to benefit accruals for the preceding year. Mr. Grace and Dr. Payne elected to defer their respective amounts into the Company's Non- Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan. In 1999, the actuarial consulting firm which provides the Company with the calculations of the amounts of the supplements advised the Company that certain errors had been made with respect to prior years. As a result, the Company adjusted the amount of the supplements for each of Dr. Payne and Mr. Grace. The adjustments resulted in a credit to the Company in the amount of $74.96 for Dr. Payne and $6,574.43 with respect to Mr. Grace. These amount were deducted from the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan maintained by the Company for each individual The Company intends to make a similar payment with respect to benefit accruals for subsequent years; however, there is no obligation for it to do so. See also, Note 5. Option Grants in 1999 The following table sets forth certain information regarding stock options granted during calendar year 1999 to the persons named in the Summary Compensation Table, above. The options were granted under the InterContinental Life Corporation 1999 Stock Option Plan. The plan was approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 1999. During 1999, options to purchase 10,000 shares of the common stock of the Company were granted to each of 46 employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, for a total of 460,000 options. As of December 31 1999, options to purchase a total of 20,000 shares had terminated as a result of employee turnover. The potential realizable values on date of grant of stock options granted in 1999 shown below are presented pursuant to SEC rule and are calculated using assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation for the option term. The theoretical values of options do not necessarily bear a relationship to the compensation cost to the Company or potential gain realized by an executive. The actual amount, if any, realized upon exercise of stock options will depend upon the market price of the common stock of the Company relative to the exercise price of the stock option at the time the stock option is exercised. There is no assurance that the theoretical values of stock options reflected in this table actually will be realized. -46- % of Total Options Potential Realizable Granted to Value at Assumed Employees Annual Rates of Stock Options During Exercise Expiration Price Appreciation for Name Granted (1) 1999 Price Date Option Term (2) 5% 10% Roy F.

(1) The options shown in the preceding table were each granted on May 18, 1999. Options vest in 20% increments with the first 20% vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and an additional 20% vesting on each subsequent anniversary. The option period for each sequentially vested portion of an option is one year from the respective Anniversary Date on which said portion of the option becomes partially exercisable. (2) The potential realizable values on date of grant are calculated assuming that the market price of the underlying security appreciates in value from the date of the grant to the last date on which the options may be exercised at an assumed annualized rate of 5% and, alternatively, 10%. The calculations assume that each vested option is exercised as of the initial date on which such vested percentage may be exercised. -47- Aggregated Option Exercises in 1999 The following table sets forth information concerning each exercise of stock options during 1999 by each of the individuals who were executive officers of the Company as of December 31, 1999.

Payne 6,000 (2) 95,520 (1) The number of shares acquired upon exercise of options reflects the stock dividend which was paid on March 17, 1999. (2) The number of shares acquired upon exercise does not reflect the stock dividend which was paid on March 17, 1999, since the options were exercised prior to that date. Aggregated Stock Option Values The following table sets forth information with respect to the unexercised options held by the executive officers of the Company. The value of unexercised in-the-money stock options at December 31, 1999 shown below are presented in accordance with SEC rules. The actual amount, if any, realized upon exercise of stock options will depend upon the market price of the common stock of the Company relative to the exercise price per share of the stock option at the time the stock option is exercised. There is no assurance that the values of unexercised in-the-money stock options reflected in the following table will be realized.

Pension Plan Table The following table sets forth estimated annual pension benefits payable upon retirement at age of 65 under the Company's noncontributory defined benefit plan ("Pension Plan") to an employee in the final pay and years of service classifications indicated, assuming a straight life annuity form of benefit. The amounts shown in the table do not reflect the reduction related to Social Security benefits referred to below. Years of Service 30 or Remuneration 15 20 25 more $125,000 $29,437 $39,250 $49,062 $58,875 150,000 35,325 47,100 58,875 70,650 160,000 37,680 50,240 62,800 75,360 175,000 41,212 54,950 68,687 82,425 200,000 47,100 62,800 78,500 94,200 The normal retirement benefit provided under the Pension Plan is equal to 1.57% of final average eligible earnings less 0.65% of the participant's Social Security covered compensation multiplied by the number of years of credited service (up to 30 years). The compensation used in determining benefits under the Pension Plan is the highest average earnings received in any five consecutive full- calendar years during the last ten full-calendar years before the participant's retirement date. The maximum amount of annual salary and bonus that can be used in determining benefits under the Pension Plan is $200,000 for any year prior to 1994 and is $150,000 for 1994, 1995 and 1996 and is $160,000 for 1997 and each subsequent year. -49- The annual eligible earnings, for 1999 only, covered by the Pension Plan (salary up to $160,000) with respect to the individuals reported in the Summary Compensation Table were as follows, with their respective years of credited service under the Pension Plan at December 31, 1999 being shown in parentheses: Mr. Mitte, $160,000 (12 years), Mr. Grace, $160,000 (12 years), Dr. Payne, $160,000 (11 years), and Mr. Demgen, $150,000 (7 years).

Employment Agreements and Change In Control Arrangements The terms and conditions of employment agreements that the Company would enter into upon the occurrence of certain events that result in the agreements taking effect were approved by the Board of Directors with respect to Messrs. Grace and Payne in 1991. Each agreement would include two independent provisions with respect to the effective date and the term of each agreement. First, the term of the agreement would begin on the earlier of (i) the date of retirement (early, normal or deferred) of Roy F. Mitte from his position as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company or (ii) the date of death or disability of Mr. Mitte, and would terminate on the last day of the twelfth month next following the commencement date of the term of the agreement, unless extended upon mutually acceptable terms. Independently, the term of the agreement would commence upon the date that any person who is not currently a control person with respect to the Company acquires, or enters into an agreement to acquire, control of the Company, directly or indirectly, and would end on the last day of the twelfth month next following the date on which the employee receives notice of the termination of his employment with the Company or the life insurance subsidiaries of the Company. During the term of the agreement, the employee would be entitled to perform all of the duties of the position or positions held by the employee with the Company and all subsidiaries of the Company on the date immediately preceding the commencement date of the agreement. During the term of the agreement, the employee would be entitled to an annual rate of compensation which is not less than the annual rate of compensation in effect as of the date immediately preceding the commencement date of the agreement. During the term of the agreement, the employee would be entitled to participate in and benefit from all employee benefit plans and other fringe benefits on -50- the same basis as such plans and benefits are made available to other executive personnel of the Company. The agreement may be terminated by the Company only in the event that the employee is guilty of theft of property of the Company or commits a wrongful act which has a material adverse effect upon the business of the Company and with respect to which the employee would not be entitled to indemnification under the provisions of the Bylaws of the Company in effect as of the commencement date of the agreement.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions with Management a. As part of the financing arrangement for the acquisition of Family Life Insurance Company, Family Life Corporation ("FLC"), a subsidiary of FIC, entered into a Senior Loan agreement under which $50 million was provided by a group of banks. The balance of the financing consisted of a $30 million subordinated note issued by FLC to Merrill Lynch Insurance Group, Ins. ("Merrill Lynch") and $14 million borrowed by another subsidiary of FIC from an affiliate of Merrill Lynch and evidenced by a senior subordinated note in the principal amount of $12 million and a junior subordinated note in the principal amount of $2 million and $25 million lent by two insurance company subsidiaries of ILCO. The latter amount was represented by a $22.5 million loan from Investors-NA to FLC and a $2.5 million loan provided directly to FIC by Investors-CA. In addition to the interest provided under those loans, Investors-NA and Investors-CA were granted by FIC non-transferable options to purchase, in the amounts proportionate to their respective loans, up to a total of 9.9 percent of shares of FIC's common stock at a price of $10.50 per share ($2.10 per share as adjusted for the five-for-one stock split in November, 1996), equivalent to the then current market price, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. The original provisions of the options provided for their expiration on June 12, 1998 if not previously exercised. In connection with the 1996 amendments to the subordinated notes, as described below, the expiration date of the options were extended to September 12, 2006. On July 30, 1993, the subordinated indebtedness owed to Merrill Lynch and its affiliate was prepaid. The Company paid $38 million plus accrued interest to retire the indebtedness, which had a principal balance of approximately $50 million on July 30, 1993. The primary source of the funds used to prepay the subordinated debt was new subordinated loans totaling $34.5 million that FLC and another subsidiary of FIC obtained from Investors-NA. The principal amount of the new subordinated debt is payable in four equal annual installments in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and bears interest at an annual rate of 9%. The other terms of the new debt are substantially the same as those of the $22.5 million subordinated loans that Investors-NA had previously made to FLC and that continue to be outstanding. In June, 1996, the provisions of the notes from Investors-NA to FIC, Family Life Corporation ("FLC") and Family Life Insurance Investment Company ("FLIIC") were modified as follows: (a) the $22.5 million note was amended to provide for twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $1,125,000 each, to commence on December 12, 1996; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2001; the interest rate on the note remains at 11%, (b) the $30 million note was amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $163,540 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases to $1,336,458; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (c) the $4.5 million note -54- was amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $24,531 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases to $200,469; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (d) the $2.5 million note was amended to provide that the principal balance of the note is to be repaid in twenty quarterly installments of $125,000 each, commencing December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the rate of interest remains at 12% and (e) the Master PIK note, which was issued to provide for the payment in kind of interest due under the terms of the $2.5 million note prior to June 12, 1996, was amended to provide that the principal balance of the note $1,977,119 is to be paid in twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $98,855.95 each, to commence December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the interest rate on the note remains at 12%. In December, 1998, FLIIC was dissolved. In connection with the dissolution, all of the assets and liabilities of FLIIC became the obligations of FLIIC's sole shareholder (FIC). Accordingly, the obligations under the provisions of the $4.5 million note described above are now the obligations of FIC. b. The data processing needs of ILCO's and FIC's insurance subsidiaries are provided by FIC Computer Services, Inc. ("FIC Computer"), a subsidiary of FIC. Under the provisions of the data processing agreement, FIC Computer provides data processing services to each subsidiary for fees equal to such subsidiary's proportionate share of FIC Computer's actual costs of providing those services to all of the subsidiaries. The Company's insurance subsidiaries paid $2.7 million and Family Life paid $1.9 million to FIC Computer for data processing services provided during the year ended December 31, 1999. c. In 1995, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life pertaining to universal life insurance written by Family Life. The reinsurance agreement is on a co-insurance basis and applies to all covered business with effective dates on and after January 1, 1995. The agreement applies to only that portion of the face amount of the policy which is less than $200,000; face amounts of $200,000 or more are reinsured by Family Life with a third party reinsurer. d. In 1996, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life, pertaining to annuity contracts written by Family Life. The agreement applies to contracts written on or after January 1, 1996. e. Roy F. Mitte serves as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of both FIC and ILCO. James M. Grace serves as Vice President, Treasurer and Director of both companies and Secretary of FIC. Dr. Payne serves as Vice President, Secretary and Director of both companies. Messrs. Demgen and Fleron serve as Vice Presidents and Directors of both companies. Mr. Roy Mitte holds beneficial ownership of 30.71% of the outstanding shares of FIC (see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management"). -55- f. Mr. Joseph F. Crowe retired from active service with the Company in January, 1997 and served on the ILCO Board until October, 1997; he continues to serve on the Board of Directors of FIC. Following Mr. Crowe's retirement, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with him. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Crowe is to be available for periodic consultation on actuarial matters related to the operations of the life insurance companies. The agreement provides for a payment of $25,000 per year for a period of five- years. g. The Company and Investors-NA are parties to two surplus debentures. The surplus debentures were originally issued by Standard Life Insurance Company. Upon the merger of Standard Life into Investors-NA, the obligations of the surplus debentures were assumed by Investors-NA. Under the terms of the surplus debentures, Investors-NA paid to the Company principal and interest on the surplus debentures of $10.8 million in 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the outstanding principal balance of the surplus debentures was $0.956 million and $4.94 million, respectively. The terms of the latter debenture provided for final payment of the remaining principal on September 30, 1999. In September, 1999, Investors-NA and ILCO amended the payment schedule to provide for payment of the remaining balance in four installments, with the final installment being due July 1, 2000.

The consolidated statements of cash flows reflect the impact of these acquisitions. These purchases resulted in the Company receiving tangible assets and assuming liabilities as follows: 1998 1997 Assets $57,745 $32,420 Liabilities $41,135 $20,653 The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-11 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization InterContinental Life Corporation (ILCO or the "Company") is principally engaged, through its subsidiaries, in administering existing portfolios of individual life insurance and annuity products. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are also engaged in the business of marketing and underwriting individual life insurance and annuity products in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Such products are marketed through independent, non-exclusive general agents. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of InterContinental Life Corporation and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which differ from statutory accounting principles required by regulatory authorities for the Company's insurance subsidiaries. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are: Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Investments The Company's general investment philosophy is to hold fixed maturity securities until maturity. However, fixed maturities may be sold prior to the maturity dates in response to changing market conditions, duration of liabilities, liquidity factors, interest rate movements and other investment factors. Accordingly, most fixed maturity investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at market value. All other fixed maturities are carried at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable value as management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold such investments to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are not recognized in earnings but are reported as a separate component of equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax effect. F-12 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Premiums and discounts on collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are amortized over the estimated redemption period as opposed to the stated maturities. Equity securities are carried at market value. Unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, net of deferred income taxes, if applicable, are reflected directly in shareholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Mortgage loans and policy loans are recorded at unpaid balances. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value, and generally consist of those fixed maturities and other investments that are intended to be held less than one year from the date of purchase. Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is generally calculated using the straight-line method over 20 to 40 years. Accumulated depreciation on investments in real estate is $2,126,231 and $5,501,545 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Realized gains and losses on disposal of investments are included in net income. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific identification basis, except for equity securities, for which the first-in, first-out method is employed. When an impairment of the value of an investment is considered other than temporary, the decrease in value is reported in net income as a realized investment loss and a new cost basis is established. Cash and Cash Equivalents Short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase are reported as cash equivalents. Sale of Real Estate Prior to December, 1999, FIC owned several parcels of real estate in Jackson, Mississippi, adjacent to an office building which formerly served as the headquarters of Standard Life Insurance Company (the "Standard Life Building"). The Standard Life Building was owned by Investors Life Insurance Company of North America ("Investors-NA"). This building is 68 years old and contains approximately 85,000 square feet (65,000 net rentable square feet) of office space. On December 29, 1999, Investors-NA donated the Standard Life Building to the Jackson Redevelopment Authority ("JRA"). Contemporaneously with the donation of the Standard Life Building, Investors-NA and Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC") sold all of the adjacent parcels they owned to the JRA for a total sale price of $2,500,000, which has been allocated according to the respective ownership interests of Investors-NA (approximately 59.28%) and FIC (approximately 40.72%). The donation and sale was made pursuant to the terms of the Donation, Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 17, 1998. Investors-NA intends to claim an income tax deduction of its upcoming tax return for the donation of the Standard Life Building, which has an appraised value at December 15, 1999 of approximately $3,050,000. The donation and sale transaction referenced above resulted in a net gain (GAAP basis) of $992,494 for ILCO and $408,664 for FIC (combined total of $1,401,158). F-13 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Net income for 1997 includes $14.6 million (before federal income tax) resulting from the sale during the fourth quarter of 1997 of the Bridgepoint Square office complex. The aggregate selling price was $78 million which was allocated approximately 78.5% to Investors-NA and 21.5% to Family Life. The sale closed on December 5, 1997. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives of 10 to 33 years for buildings and improvements and 10 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Accumulated depreciation for property and equipment and home office real estate was $4,630,102 and $5,091,037 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Deferred Acquisition Costs The cost of acquiring new and renewal business, principally first year commissions and certain expenses of the policy issuance and underwriting departments, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new and renewal business, have been deferred to the extent recoverable. Acquisition costs related to universal life products are deferred and amortized in proportion to the ratio of estimated annual gross profits to total estimated gross profits over the expected lives of the contracts. Acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance business are deferred and amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies. Present Value of Future Profits The present value of future profits of acquired traditional life business is amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies in proportion to the ratio of the annual premium revenue to total anticipated premium revenue applicable to such policies. Interest on the unamortized balance is accreted at rates from 7.0% to 8.5%. For interest-sensitive products, these costs are amortized in relation to the present value, using the current credited interest rate, of expected gross profits of the policies over the anticipated coverage period. Retrospective adjustments of these amounts are made periodically upon the revision of estimates of current or future gross profits on universal life-type products to be realized from a group of policies. Recoverability of present value of future profits is evaluated periodically by comparing the current estimate of future profits to the unamortized asset balances. F-14 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Anticipated investment returns, including realized gains and losses, from the investment of policyholder balances are considered in determining the amortization of present value of future profits acquired. Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs associated with the Company's Senior Loan were deferred and were amortized over the borrowing periods using the interest method. Separate Accounts Separate account assets, carried at market value, and liabilities represent policyholder funds maintained in accounts having specific investment objectives. The net investment income, gains and losses of these accounts, less applicable contract charges, generally accrue directly to the policyholders and are not included in the Company's statement of income, with the exception for the gains and losses in the Company's seed money in the separate accounts. Solvency Laws Assessments The solvency or guaranty laws of most states in which the Company's insurance subsidiaries do business may require the Company's insurance subsidiaries to pay assessments (up to certain prescribed limits) to fund policyholder losses or liabilities of insurance companies that become insolvent. These assessments may be deferred or forgiven under most guaranty laws if they would threaten an insurer's financial strength and, in certain instances, may be offset against future premium taxes. The Company's insurance subsidiaries' expense for guaranty fund assessment from states which do not allow premium tax offsets is not material. Policy Liabilities and Contractholder Deposit Funds Liabilities for future policy benefits related to traditional life products are computed using the net level premium method or an equivalent actuarial method. Assumptions for future investment yields are incorporated in these liabilities (principally 8% for guaranteed premium products). Assumptions for mortality and withdrawal, based on industry and Company experience for all products, include provisions for possible unfavorable deviations. The liability for future policy benefits for traditional life policies is graded to reserves stipulated by regulatory authorities over a 30-year period or the end of the premium paying period, if less. Contractholder deposit funds are liabilities for universal life and annuity products. These liabilities consist of deposits received from customers and accumulated net investment income on their fund balances, less administrative charges. Universal life fund balances are also assessed mortality charges. The cash value benefit for these products is based on actual crediting rates, which are lower than assumed investment yields. F-15 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Liabilities for future policy benefits related to non-cancelable and guaranteed renewable accident and health contracts are computed based on industry and Company experience and estimated future investment yields ranging from 4 1/2% to 6%. Unearned premium reserves for credit life and accident and health contracts are computed on either the sum-of-the-year's digits or pro rata methods depending upon the type of coverage. In December, 1997, ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries entered into a reinsurance treaty under which all of the contractual obligations and risks under accident and health insurance policies were assumed by a third party reinsurer. (See Note 8.) Other Policy Claims and Benefits Payable The liability for other policy claims and benefits payable represents management's estimate of unpaid losses on claims and other miscellaneous liabilities to policyholders. Estimated unpaid losses on claims are comprised of losses on claims that have been reported but not yet paid, including estimates of additional development of initial claims estimates, and claims that have been incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) to the Company. The liability for other policy claims and benefits payable is subject to the impact of changes in claim severity, frequency and other factors. Although there is considerable variability inherent in such estimates, management believes that the liability recorded is adequate. Revenue Recognition Premiums on traditional life and health products are recognized as revenue over the premium paying period when due. Credit life and credit health insurance premiums are recognized over the contract period on a pro rata basis, or the sum of years digits basis. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums, so as to result in recognition of profits over the lives of the contracts. Proceeds from investment-related products and universal life products are recorded as liabilities when received. Revenues for investment-related products consist of contract charges assessed against the deposit fund values and net investment income. Related benefit expenses primarily consist of interest credited to the fund values after deductions for investment and policy charges. Revenues for universal life products consist of net investment income, mortality and administration charges against deposits and fund values and surrender charges assessed against the fund values. Related benefit expenses include universal life benefit claims in excess of fund values and interest credited to universal life fund values. F-16 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Net Income Per Share Net income per share is calculated based on two methods, basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised. Both methods are presented on the face of the income statement. Federal Income Taxes In February, 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). The Company adopted FAS 109 on a prospective basis effective January 1, 1993. FAS 109 mandates the asset and liability method for computing deferred income taxes. Under this method, balance sheet amounts for deferred income taxes are computed based on the tax effect of the differences between the financial reporting and federal income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the tax rates which are expected be in effect when these differences are anticipated to reverse. New Accounting Pronouncements In February 1997, the Financial Standards Board ("FASB") issued FAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which revises the standards for computing earnings per share previously prescribed by APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share". The Statement establishes two measures of earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised. The Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities with potentially dilutive securities outstanding. The Statement also requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation. The Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for the year ended December 31, 1997. F-17 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In June 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as net income adjusted for changes in stockholders' equity resulting from events other than net income or transactions related to an entity's capital instruments. The Company has adopted FAS 130 for the year ended December 31, 1998 and has restated the financial statement presentation for 1997 as required by this pronouncement. In June 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Generally, FAS 131 requires that financial information be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating performance. The Company adopted SFAS 131 for the year ended December 31, 1998. As described in Note 1, the Company is principally engaged, through its subsidiaries, in administering existing portfolios of individual life insurance and annuity products. The Company's insurance subsidiaries are also engaged in the business of marketing and underwriting individual life insurance and annuity products in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Such products are marketed through independent, non-exclusive general agents. Management considers the Company's insurance operations to constitute one reportable segment. Premium revenues for traditional insurance products and earned insurance charges on universal life and annuity products are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. No single customer accounts for 10 percent or more of the Company's revenue. The Company has no foreign operations. In February 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 132, "Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which revises current disclosure requirements for employers' pension and other retiree benefits. FAS 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The Company adopted FAS 132 for the year ended December 31, 1998, and restated disclosures for 1997 as required by this pronouncement. In December 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments," which provides guidance on accounting for insurance-related assessments. The Company adopted SOP 97-3 January 1, 1999. The adoption of this SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. F-18 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In June, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. FAS No. 133 is applicable to financial statements for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, as amended by FAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS No. 133". As the Company does not have significant investments in derivative financial instruments, the adoption of FAS 133 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position. Reclassification Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 presentation.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1999 are as follows: Carrying Fair Amount Value (in thousands) Financial assets: Fixed maturities $406,305 $406,273 Policy loans 50,882 50,882 Mortgage loans 6,884 6,701 Short-term investments 191,695 191,695 Cash and cash equivalents 3,358 3,358 Notes receivable from affiliates 41,497 41,497 Financial liabilities: Deferred annuities 113,923 112,714 Supplemental Contracts 13,745 13,309 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial investments: Fixed maturities Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. Policy loans Policy loans are, generally, issued with coupon rates below market rates and are considered early payment of the life benefit. As such, the carrying amount of these financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. Mortgage loans The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis using rates for BBB- rated bonds with similar coupon rates and maturities. F-25 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments The carrying amount of these instruments approximates market value. Notes receivable from affiliates The fair value is based on redemption value. Deferred annuities and supplemental contracts The fair value of deferred annuities is estimated using cash surrender values. Fair values for supplemental contracts is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently offered on similar products. 4. Present Value of Future Profits of Acquired Business An analysis of the present value of future profits of acquired businesses is as follows: 1999 1998 (in thousands) Beginning balance $ 43,666 $ 47,286 Acquisition of insurance subsidiary -0- 1,981 Accretion of interest 3,382 3,559 Amortization (7,217) (9,160) Ending Balance $ 39,831 $ 43,666 Amortization of the present value of future profits included in the consolidated statements of income is presented net of the accretion of interest. The estimated amount of present value of future profits to be amortized net of interest accretion during each of the next five years is as follows: (in thousands) 2000 $ 4,106 2001 $ 3,739 2002 $ 3,466 2003 $ 3,199 2004 $ 2,966 F-26 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 5. Acquisition of Business On June 30, 1998, ILCO, through a subsidiary, Investors-Indiana, acquired Grinnell Life Insurance Company ("Grinnell Life") an Iowa-domiciled life insurer, from Grinnell Mutual Life Insurance Company for an adjusted purchase price of $16.6 million. As part of the transaction, Grinnell Life was immediately merged with and into Investors-Indiana, with Investors-Indiana being the surviving entity. On July 9, 1997, ILCO and Investors-Indiana acquired State Auto Life Insurance Company, an Ohio domiciled life insurer, from State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company, for an adjusted cash purchase price of $11.8 million. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase business combination. Accordingly, the results of State Auto Life's operations are included in income from the date of the acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired including the present value of future profits disclosed in Note 4. Under the terms of the transaction, State Auto Life was merged into Investors-Indiana. 6. Senior Loans The Senior Loan of ILCO was originally arranged in connection with the 1988 acquisition of Investors-NA and Investors-CA. In January, 1993, the Company refinanced its Senior Loan. That transaction was done in connection with the prepayment of the subordinated indebtedness and the purchase of warrants which had been issued as part of the financing of the 1988 acquisitions. The terms of the amended and restated credit facility were substantially the same as the terms and provisions of the 1988 senior loan. The average interest rate paid by the Company on its Senior Loan was approximately 7.68% during 1997 and 7.63% during 1998. The maturity date, which had been December 31, 1996, was extended to July 1, 1998 for the Senior Loan. In February, 1995, the Company borrowed an additional $15 million under the Senior Loan to help finance the acquisition of Investors-IN, and the maturity date of the Senior Loan was further extended to July 1, 1999. As of December 31, 1995, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $59.4 million. In January, 1996, the Company made a scheduled payment of $4.5 million under its Senior Loan. In March, 1996, the Company made the scheduled payments for April 1st and July 1st, totaling $9 million. At that same time, the Company made a payment of $941,000, an additional payment under the terms of the loan applied to the principal balance. On April 1, 1996, an optional principal payment in the amount of $15 million was made, which resulted in advancing the scheduled payoff date of the Senior Loan to April 1, 1998. In July, 1996, the Company made the principal payment for October 1st ($4.5 million), plus an optional principal payment of $0.5 million. In connection with the acquisition of State Auto Life Insurance Company in July, 1997, the Senior Loan agreement was modified to extend the maturity date to October 1, 1998. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $11.0 million, which reflected the prepayment by the Company of the payment originally scheduled for January 1, 1998. A regular payment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on April 1, 1998 and a prepayment of the July 1, 1998 installment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on June 30, 1998. The outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $3.6 million at June 30, 1998. The final installment on the senior loan obligation scheduled for October 1, 1998, was prepaid on September 30, 1998. As a result, the senior loan obligation of ILCO was fully discharged effective September 30, 1998. F-27 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7. Income Taxes The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns with its non-life subsidiaries. The Company's life insurance subsidiaries file a separate life consolidated federal income tax return. In accordance with the Company's tax allocation agreement, federal income tax expense or benefit is allocated to each member of the consolidated group as if each member were filing a separate return. The U.S. federal income tax provision (benefit) charged to continuing operations for the years ended December 31, was as follows: 1999 1998 1997 (in thousands) Current tax provision $ 5,955 $ 6,899 $ 9,005 Deferred tax provision 19 (432) 2,057 Total provision for income taxes $ 5,974 $ 6,467 $ 11,062 Provision has not been made for state income tax expense since expense is minimal. Premium taxes are paid to various states where premium revenues are earned. Premium taxes are included in the statement of income as operating expenses. The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate of 35% to pre-tax income from continuing operations as a result of the following differences: 1999 1998 1997 (in thousands) Income taxes at the U.S. statutory rate $ 6,559 $ 6,155 $ 11,062 Charitable contribution (920) -0- -0- Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: Non-deductible compensation 335 312 -0- Total provision for income taxes $ 5,974 $ 6,467 $ 11,062 F-28 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the federal income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. The sources of these differences and the estimated tax effect of each are as follows: December 31, 1999 1998 Deferred Tax Liability: (in thousands) Deferred policy acquisition costs $ 8,340 $ 6,897 Present value of future profits 11,597 12,718 Net unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on (1,998) 6,231 marketable securities Acquisition discounts on mortgages/ policy loans 1,210 1,213 Reinsurance recoverable 5,571 5,607 Other taxable temporary differences 2,965 2,782 Total deferred tax liability 27,685 35,448 Deferred Tax Asset: Policy reserves 2,771 1,896 Invested assets 1,655 1,759 Net operating loss carry forward 1,195 1,298 Minimum tax credit 323 310 Total deferred tax asset 5,944 5,263 Net deferred tax liability $ 21,741 $ 30,185
Deferred federal income tax benefit of $8,229,000 and $1,524,000 for 1999 and 1998, respectively, have been provided on the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of marketable securities and included in the balance of the deferred tax liability account. This increase or decrease in deferred tax liability has been recorded as a reduction or increase to the equity adjustment due to the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation and has not been reflected in the deferred income tax expense included in net income from operations. Under the provisions of pre-1984 life insurance company income tax regulations, a portion of "gain from operations" of Investors-IN and Investors-NA was not subject to current taxation but was accumulated, for tax purposes, in special tax memorandum accounts designated as "policyholders' surplus accounts". Subject to certain limitations,"policyholders' surplus" is not taxed until distributed or the insurance company no longer qualifies to be taxed as a life insurance company. The accumulation in these accounts for Investors-NA and Investors-IN at December 31, 1999 was $8,225,000 and $4,357,000, respectively. Federal income tax of $2,879,000 and $1,525,000 would be due if the entire balance is distributed at a tax rate of 35%. F-29 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company does not anticipate any transactions that would cause any part of the policyholders' surplus accounts to become taxable and, accordingly, deferred taxes have not been provided on such amounts. At December 31, 1999, Investors-NA and Investors-IN have approximately $138,000,000 and $19,400,000, respectively, in the aggregate in their shareholders' surplus accounts from which distributions could be made without incurring any federal tax liability. At December 31, 1999, the Company and its non-life wholly-owned subsidiaries have net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $3.3 million. 8. Reinsurance The Company reinsures portions of certain policies thereby providing greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger policies. The Company's retention on any one individual ranges from $60,000 to $250,000 depending on the risk. The Company remains liable to the extent the reinsurance companies are unable to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. In December, 1997, ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries entered into a reinsurance treaty under which most of the contractual obligations and risks under accident and health insurance policies were assumed by a third party reinsurer. The transfer is effective as of July 1, 1997. These risks and contractual obligations were sold pursuant to, first, a coinsurance reinsurance agreement. Following applicable regulatory approvals, the reinsurer will assume the direct obligations of the companies, on an assumption reinsurance basis. The decision to dispose of this block of business was based on management's analysis that the business was not generating targeted profit objectives and that the products were not part of the core business of the subsidiaries. The sale permits the company to focus on its primary business: life insurance and annuity sales. In connection with the transaction, the total amount of net reserves transferred by the subsidiaries was $6,327,504. In addition to the transfer of reserves, the life companies paid the reinsurer $1,037,150 in connection with the transaction, which amount was accounted for as an expense for the year ended December 31, 1997. In 1997, the transferred business generated approximately $791,000 in annualized premiums. F-30 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for reinsurance ceded are as follows: December 31, 1999 1998 (in thousands) Future policy benefits $ 10,010 $ 10,178 Unearned premiums 1,605 1,878 Other policy claims and benefits payable 4,103 4,225 Amounts recoverable on paid claims 3,051 2,566 Reinsurance receivables $ 18,769 $ 18,847 Year ended December 31, 1999 1998 1997 (in thousands) Premiums $ 3,472 $ 2,942 $ 2,590 Policyholder benefits and expenses $ 14,568 $ 20,311 $ 15,286 9. Shareholders' Equity Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC"), a life insurance holding company, retains ownership of approximately 44.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. FIC held options to purchase up to an additional 1,702,155 shares, (which number does not reflect the stock dividend paid by ILCO on March 7, 1999) of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock at a price equal to the average market value during the six months preceding the exercise date. These options expired on September 30, 1998. The Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is affected, in part, by the receipt of dividends from Investors-NA, which is organized under the laws of the state of Washington. Under current Washington law, any proposed payment of a dividend or distribution which, together with dividends or distributions paid during the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31 or (ii) statutory net gain from operations for the preceding calendar year is called an "extraordinary dividend" and may not be paid until either it has been approved, or a waiting period shall have passed during which it has not been disapproved, by the insurance commissioner. In addition, Washington laws require that prior notification of a proposed dividend be given to the Washington Insurance Commissioner and that dividends may be paid only from earned surplus. F-31 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Net income (before surplus debenture interest expense) and capital and surplus of Investors-NA as reported to insurance regulators and as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 1999 1998 1997 Net Income $12,549 $ 14,246 $ 25,925 Capital and Surplus $75,169 $ 70,627 $ 73,932 The insurance regulations of the state of Washington limit the amount an insurer may invest in the obligations of any one corporation to four percent of the insurer's statutory admitted assets. Investors-NA held $41,497,000 and $47,645,000 in subordinated notes issued by FIC and Family Life Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIC, at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Prior to the acquisition of these notes, Investors-NA received written approval from the Washington State Insurance Department for the inclusion of the full amount of these notes in its statutory admitted assets. At December 31, 1999, this permitted practice did not increase statutory surplus over what it would have been under prescribed statutory accounting practices. In 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles guidance, which will replace the current Accounting Practices and Procedures manual as the NAIC's primary guidance on statutory accounting. The NAIC is now considering amendments to the Codification guidance that would also be effective upon implementation. The Codification provides guidance for areas where statutory accounting has been silent and changes current statutory accounting in some areas, e.g. deferred income taxes are recorded. The Company has not estimated the potential effect of the Codification guidance on statutory net income and statutory capital and surplus. However, the actual effect of adoption could differ as changes are made to the Codification guidance, prior to its recommended effective date of January 1, 2001. In 1988, the Company authorized the issuance of 10 million shares of Class C Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value. The Company was not permitted, under the provisions of the Senior Loan Agreements (See Note 6), to issue any preferred stock except Class A and Class B issued in connection with the acquisition of the Investors Life Companies. The Company has reacquired the Class A and Class B Preferred Stock and holds the shares in treasury. 10. Retirement Plans and Employee Stock Plans Retirement Plan The Company maintains a retirement plan, ("ILCO Pension Plan"), covering substantially all employees of the Company. The plan is a non-contributory, defined benefit pension plan, which covers each eligible employee who has attained 21 years of age and has completed one year or more of service. Each participating subsidiary company contributes an amount necessary (as actuarially determined) to fund the benefits provided for its participating employees. F-32 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Plan's basic retirement income benefit at normal retirement age is 1.57% of the participant's average annual earnings less 0.65% of the participant's final average earnings up to covered compensation multiplied by the number of his/her years of credited service. For participants who previously participated in the plan maintained by the Company for the benefit of former employees of the IIP Division of CIGNA Corporation (the IIP Plan), the benefit formula described above applies to service subsequent to May 31, 1996. With respect to service prior to that date, the benefit formula provided by the IIP Plan is applicable, with certain exceptions applicable to former IIP employees who are classified as highly compensated employees. Former eligible IIP employees commenced participation automatically. The Plan also provides for early retirement, postponed retirement and disability benefits to eligible employees. Participant benefits become fully vested upon completion of five years of service, as defined, or attainment of normal retirement age, if earlier. The pension costs for the plan includes the following components: 1999 1998 1997 (in thousands) Service cost for benefits earned during the period $ 446 $ 460 $ 390 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 905 793 693 Expected return on plan assets (1,277) (1,235) (1,226) Amortization of unrecognized prior service cost (229) (229) (229) Pension benefit $ (155) $ (211) $ (372) F-33 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following summarizes the funded status of the plan at December 31: 1999 1998 (in thousands) Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of period $ 12,726 $ 11,162 Service cost 446 460 Interest cost 905 793 Benefits paid (483) (443) (Gain)/Loss due to change in assumptions -0- 804 (Gain)/Loss due to experience 274 (50) Benefit Obligation at end of year $ 13,868 $ 12,726 Change in plan assets: 1999 1998 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 16,238 $ 15,681 Actual return on plan assets 570 1,000 Benefits paid (483) (443) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 16,325 $ 16,238 Funded Status: Funded status at end of year $ 2,457 $ 3,512 Unrecognized prior service cost (240) (469) Unrecognized actuarial net loss 2,665 1,683 Prepaid pension expense at end of year $ 4,882 $ 4,726 F-34 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The significant assumptions for the plans are as follows: The discount rate for projected benefit obligations was 7.25%, 7.25% and 7.75% in 1999, 1998 and 1997. The assumed long-term rate of compensation increases was 5.0%, 5.0% and 6.0% for 1999, 1998 and 1997. The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets was 8.0% for 1999, 1998 and 1997. Assumed expenses as a percentage of plan assets were 0% for 1999, 1998 and 1997. Savings and Investment Plan The Company maintains a Savings and Investment (401(k)) Plan that allows eligible employees who have met a one-year service requirement to make contributions to the Plan on a tax-deferred basis. A Plan participant may elect to contribute up to 16% of eligible earnings on a tax deferred basis, subject to certain limitations applicable to "highly compensated employees" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Plan participants may allocate contributions, and earnings thereon, between investment options selected by participants. The Account Balance of each Participant attributable to employee contributions is 100% vested at all times. Prior to January 1, 1990, the Company made matching contributions of up to 50% of the first 6% of eligible compensation contributed by the plan participants. Vesting of such Company contributions is based on number of years of service. The employer contributions were discontinued effective January 1, 1990. During 1995, the Plan was amended to allow for the addition of Family Life Insurance Company (FLIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIC, as a participating employer, thus allowing FLIC employees to participate in the Plan. The amendment did not affect the Plan's tax-qualified status. In 1997, the Plan was amended to provide for a matching contribution by the Company. The match, which is in the form of shares of ILCO common stock, is equal to 100% of an eligible participant's elective deferral contributions, as defined in the Plan, not to exceed 1% of the participant's plan compensation. Allocations are made on a quarterly basis to the account of participants who have at least 250 hours of service in that quarter. Employee Stock Ownership Plan During 1979, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and a related trust for the benefit of its employees. The Plan generally covers employees who have attained the age of 21 and have completed one year of service. Vesting of benefits to employees is based on number of years of service. No contributions were made to the Plan in 1999, 1998 or 1997. At December 31, 1999, the Plan had a total of 579,314 shares which are allocated to participants. During 1995, the Plan was amended to allow for the addition of FLIC as a participating employer, thus allowing FLIC employees to participate in the Plan. The amendment did not affect the Plan's tax-qualified status. F-35 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Effective May 1, 1998, the 401(k) Plan was amended to provide for the merger of the ESOP into the 401(k) Plan. In connection with the merger, certain features under the ESOP were preserved for the benefit of employees previously participating in the ESOP with regard to all benefits accrued under the ESOP through the date of merger. Stock Option Plans The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans, which are described below accordingly. No compensation cost has been recognized by the Company in the accompanying income statement for its stock option plans. In 1999, the Company paid a stock dividend in the amount of one share of common stock for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. The dividend was paid on March 17, 1999 to holders of record on March 8, 1999. The data in this note has been restated to reflect the effect of the stock dividend. Under the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan, options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, at 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, have been granted to key employees. A total of 630,000 shares of the Company's common stock are currently reserved for issuance under this plan. As of December 31, 1999, options to purchase 655,700 shares have been granted since the plan's inception. As of December 31, 1999, 483,500 options have been exercised and 172,200 options have been terminated. At December 31, 1999 there were no options remaining under the ISO Plan to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. The number of options exercised in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were -0-, -0- and 144,000, respectively. Under the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for certain officers, directors, agents and others, the Board of Directors is authorized to issue options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant but in no case less than $1.67 per share. In 1988, options to purchase 660,000 shares were granted at a price of $1.67 per share. In 1990, options to purchase 60,000 shares expired. In 1991, options to purchase 100,000 shares were granted at prices ranging from $4.38 to $4.63. In 1992 options to purchase 120,000 shares expired. In 1995, options to purchase 120,000 shares were granted at a price of $5.56 per share. These same options, along with 40,000 other options, were terminated in 1996. In 1997 84,000 options were canceled. There were no options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996. The number of options exercised in 1999, 1998 and 1997 were 84,000, 84,000, and 96,000, respectively. Under the Company's 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant but in no case less than $9.00 per share, were granted to certain employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates. In 1999 options to purchase 460,000 shares were granted at prices ranging from $9.00 to $10.38. During 1999, 20,000 options were canceled and no options were exercised.

Related Party Transactions The obligations of the Company under the Senior Loan were guaranteed by FIC. FIC presently owns 3,932,692 shares of the company's Common Stock, constituting 44.5% of such shares outstanding. FIC held options to acquire an additional 1,702,155 shares, (which does not reflect the stock dividend paid by ILCO on March 7, 1999) at the average bid price of such shares during the six-month period preceding the date of any such purchase as long as ILCO's debt guaranteed by FIC (the Senor Loans) remained outstanding. As described in Note 6, the current Senior Loan of ILCO was fully repaid on September 30, 1998. Accordingly, FIC's rights under the 1986 option agreement expired on September 30, 1998. FIC Property Management, Inc., ("FIC Property"), a subsidiary of FIC, conducted the leasing activities for the Bridgepoint Square properties previously owned by Investors-NA. As described in Note 1, these properties were sold in 1997. In connection with the December, 1997 sale of Bridgepoint Square Offices by Investors-NA and Family Life Insurance Company, FIC Realty Services, Inc., ("FIC Realty"), a subsidiary of FIC, received a commission in the amount of $156,000, of which $122,538 was paid by Investors-NA and $33,462 by Family Life. In connection with the 1996 sale of Austin Centre by Investors-NA, FIC Realty received a commission in the amount of $123,350 from Investors-NA. As part of the financing arrangement for the acquisition of Family Life Insurance Company, Family Life Corporation ("FLC"), a subsidiary of FIC, entered into a senior loan agreement under which $50 million was provided by a group of banks. The balance of the financing consisted of a $30 million subordinated note issued by FLC to Merrill Lynch Insurance Group, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") and $14 million borrowed by another subsidiary of FIC from an affiliate of Merrill Lynch and evidenced by a senior subordinated note in the principal amount of $12 million and a junior subordinated note in the principal amount of $2 million and $25 million lent by two insurance company subsidiaries of ILCO. The latter amount was represented by a $22.5 million loan from Investors-NA to FLC and a $2.5 million loan provided directly to FIC by Investors- CA. In addition to the interest provided under those loans, Investors-NA and Investors-CA were granted by FIC non-transferable options to purchase, in the amounts proportionate to their respective loans, up to a total of 9.9 percent of shares of FIC's common stock at a price of $10.50 per share ($2.10 per share as adjusted for the five-for-one stock split in November, 1996), equivalent to the then current market price, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. The original provisions of the options provided for their expiration on June 12, 1998 if not previously exercised. In connection with the 1996 amendments to the subordinated notes, as described below, the expiration date of the options was extended to September 12, 2006. F-39 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On July 30, 1993, the subordinated indebtedness owed to Merrill Lynch and its affiliate was prepaid. The Company paid $38 million plus accrued interest to retire the indebtedness, which had a principal balance of approximately $50 million on July 30, 1993. The primary source of the funds used to prepay the subordinated debt was new subordinated loans totaling $34.5 million that FLC and Family Life Insurance Investment Company ("FLIIC"), another subsidiary of FIC, obtained from Investors-NA. The principal amount of the new subordinated debt was payable in four equal annual installments in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and bears interest at an annual rate of 9%. The other terms of the new debt are substantially the same as those of the $22.5 million subordinated loans that Investors-NA had previously made to FLC and that continue to be outstanding. In June, 1996, the provisions of the notes from Investors-NA to FIC, FLC and FLIIC were modified as follows: (a) the $22.5 million note was amended to provide for twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $1,125,000 each, to commence on December 12, 1996; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2001; the interest rate on the note remains at 11%, (b) the $30 million note was amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $163,540 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases to $1,336,458; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (c) the $4.5 million note was amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $24,531 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases to $200,469; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (d) the $2.5 million note was amended to provide that the principal balance of the note is to be repaid in twenty quarterly installments of $125,000 each, commencing December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the rate of interest remains at 12%, (e) the Master PIK note, which was issued to provide for the payment in kind of interest due under the terms of the $2.5 million note prior to June 12, 1996, was amended to provide that the $1,977,119 principal balance of the note is to be paid in twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $98,855.95 each, to commence December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the interest rate on the note remains at 12%. In December 1998 FLIIC was dissolved. In connection with the dissolution, all of the assets and liabilities of FLIIC became the obligations of FLIIC's sole shareholder, FIC. Accordingly, the obligations under the provisions of the $4.5 million note described above are now the obligations of FIC. The Company reimbursed FIC for rental expenses and certain other operating expenses incurred during 1997 on behalf of the Company. The amount of such reimbursement was approximately $822,000. F-40 INTERCONTINENTAL LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Data processing services for ILCO's and FIC's insurance subsidiaries are provided by FIC Computer Service, Inc. ("FIC Computer"), a subsidiary of FIC. Each of FIC's and ILCO's insurance subsidiaries has entered into a data processing agreement with FIC Computer whereby FIC Computer provides data processing services to each subsidiary for fees equal to such subsidiary's proportionate share of FIC Computer's actual costs of providing those services to all of the subsidiaries. The Company's insurance subsidiaries paid $2,730,189, $2,818,095 and $3,010,110 and Family Life paid $1,916,350, $1,610,397 and $824,425 to FIC Computer for data processing services provided during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1995, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life Insurance Company ("Family Life") pertaining to universal life insurance written by Family Life. The reinsurance agreement is on a co-insurance basis and applies to all covered business with effective dates on and after January 1, 1995. The agreement applies to only that portion of the face amount of the policy which is less than $200,000; face amounts of $200,000 or more are reinsured by Family Life with a third party reinsurer. In 1996, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life, pertaining to annuity contracts written by Family Life. The agreement applies to contracts written on or after January 1, 1996. ILCO received $13 million, $11 million, and $14 million from Family Life for direct costs incurred by ILCO on behalf of Family Life's operations in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Under an agreement between ILCO and Family Life all direct costs incurred on behalf of the other are to be reimbursed. 13. Commitments and Contingencies The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain legal actions related to the normal business operations of the Company. Management believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material impact on the financial statements.
