Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On December 29, 2006, Financial Industries Corporation (“FIC,” or the “Company”) completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Family Life Insurance Company (“Family Life”), to The Manhattan Life Insurance Company (“Manhattan Life”) for $28.0 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments.
Prior to the sale, the Company had transitioned the exclusive agents of Family Life to the new “Family Sales Division” of Investors Life Insurance Company of North America (“Investors Life”), FIC’s remaining insurance subsidiary. Similar to the sales and marketing approaches historically used within Family Life, the new Family Sales Division of Investors Life focuses on both the mortgage protection and final expense markets using leads provided through third-party vendors. At December 31, 2006, the Company had 135 of these exclusive agents. In connection with the sale of Family Life, Investors Life entered into a coinsurance agreement with Family Life pursuant to which Investors Life will cede to Family Life (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan Life) 35% of the face amount of mortgage protection term policies written in its Family Sales Division during the five-year period beginning April 1, 2007 and ending March 31, 2012. Such business will be administered by Investors Life, and Investors Life will receive allowances for its expenses on the portion of the business that is ceded.
Prior to the sale, Investors Life co-insured certain universal life insurance and annuity contracts written by Family Life under reinsurance treaties between the companies. Effective September 30, 2006, Family Life and Investors Life executed recapture agreements related to these reinsurance treaties effectively terminating these treaties and removing Investors Life from any liability for life insurance and annuity contracts written by Family Life.
Prior to closing of the sale, Family Life owned 648,640 shares of FIC common stock. Such shares are reflected as common treasury stock in the accompanying historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company acquired from Family Life 324,320 of these shares and the remaining 324,320 shares remained with Family Life at the time of sale. Also, prior to the closing of the sale, the Family Life Pension Plan, along with its assets and liabilities, was transferred from Family Life to its upstream parent company, Family Life Corporation (“FLC”). FLC is wholly owned by FIC and all current and future obligations of the Family Life Pension Plan are the responsibility of FLC.
Certain significant aspects of Family Life related contracts and expenses are described below:
· | In June 2004, FIC established an insurance services subsidiary, FIC Insurance Services, L.P. FIC Insurance Services provided management, operating and administrative services to both Family Life and Investors Life, on a fee basis. The agreement between Family Life and FIC Insurance Services was terminated upon sale of Family Life. |
· | Lease costs associated with the Company’s occupancy in the River Place Pointe office complex were shared by Family Life and Investors Life under a contractual agreement. This agreement was terminated upon the sale and Family Life did not retain any liability for leased facilities. |
· | Certain other expenses were shared by Family Life and Investors Life, prior and subsequent to the establishment of FIC Insurance Services in June 2004, under other contractual cost sharing agreements. These cost sharing agreements were terminated upon the sale of Family Life. |
· | No employees of the Company are now employed by Family Life or Manhattan Life. |
· | Equipment and software owned by Family Life was retained by the Company. |
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company has provided administrative services to Family Life pursuant to an administrative services agreement which is cancellable by either party with 30-days notice. The Company currently expects that it will provide such services until March 31, 2007, generating other revenues totaling approximately $800,000.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet presents the financial position of FIC as of December 31, 2005 assuming the sale of Family Life occurred on that date. Such pro forma information is based on FIC’s historical consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Form 10-K at December 31, 2005 giving effect to the following adjustments: 1) elimination of the separate company assets and liabilities of Family Life adjusted for (i) the reinsurance recapture with Investors Life, (ii) elimination of net pension liability retained by the Company, and (iii) push down of parent company present value of future profits of acquired business, 2) providing for the net proceeds of the sale, 3) reflecting transfers of certain of Family Life’s separate assets to the Company, prior to, and in conjunction with the sale.

Note 2 - Pro Forma Adjustments
(a) Reflects the net cash proceeds of the sale, estimated investment income on cash from the sale and related transfers, and the estimated loss on the sale as summarized above.
(b) Reflects the purchase of 324,320 shares of FIC common stock by the Company from Family Life for $2.2 million and the sale of 324,320 shares of FIC common stock in conjunction with the sale of Family Life.
(c) Reflects the net book value of Family Life’s equipment and software retained by the Company.
(d) Reflects the elimination of the FIC Insurance Services investment fee, net of actual allocated costs.
(e) Reflects the summary posting of the pro forma adjustments related to operating expenses as described in Note 4.
(f) Reflects income tax estimated on pro forma adjustments.
Note 3 - Family Life Sales Division
Prior to the sale, the Company had transitioned the exclusive agents of Family Life to the new “Family Sales Division” of Investors Life Insurance Company of North America (“Investors Life”), FIC’s remaining insurance subsidiary. Similar to the sales and marketing approaches historically used within Family Life, the Family Sales Division of Investors Life focuses on both the mortgage protection and final expense markets using leads provided through third-party vendors. At December 31, 2006, the Company had 135 of these exclusive agents. The costs associated with these sales activities in 2005 resided with Family Life and were directly related to the production of its new business. These costs are generally capitalized and amortized as deferred policy acquisition costs in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. No pro forma adjustments were made to provide for anticipated new business from the Family Sales Division of Investors Life (certain of which will pertain to the coinsurance agreement with Family Life as described below) or the costs of that division, which will remain with the Company.
In connection with the sale of Family Life, Investors Life entered into a reinsurance agreement with Family Life pursuant to which Investors Life will cede to Family Life (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manhattan Life) 35% of the face amount of mortgage protection term policies written in its Family Sales Division during the five-year period beginning April 1, 2007 and ending March 31, 2012. Such business will be administered by Investors Life, and Investors Life will receive allowances for its expenses on the portion of the business that is ceded. As described above, no pro forma adjustment was made to provide for anticipated new business from the Family Sales Division of Investors Life to which this coinsurance agreement would pertain.
Note 4 - Allocated Shared Expenses
FIC Insurance Services, L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provided management, operating and administrative services to both Family Life and Investors Life, on a fee basis. Lease costs associated with the Company’s occupancy in River Place Pointe were shared by Family Life and Investors Life under a contractual agreement. Certain other expenses were shared by Family Life and Investors Life, prior and subsequent to the establishment of FIC Insurance Services in June 2004, under other contractual sharing agreements. These allocated shared costs are eliminated from the Company’s continuing operations by the removal of Family Life’s separate company expenses. However, the sale of Family Life will not result in the elimination of certain shared expenses that had been allocated to Family Life.
Certain allocated shared expenses are largely variable and are reasonably assumed to be eliminated with the sale of Family Life. However, certain allocated shared expenses, such as personnel and leased premises, are not eliminated by the sale of Family Life. Accordingly, a pro forma adjustment was made to provide for expenses previously allocated to Family Life which will continue as part of the Company’s ongoing operations as described below:
