FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a
fair statement of the interim results. The statements have been
prepared to conform to the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not
necessarily include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The reader should refer
to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 previously
filed with the Commission for financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The investment of FIC in InterContinental Life
Corporation ("ILCO") is presented using the equity method. All
significant intercompany items and transactions have been
eliminated.
FIC's net income is effected by its equity interest in
InterContinental Life Corporation (ILCO) and ILCO's insurance
subsidiaries. Net income for the first quarter of 1996 includes
$7.2 million resulting from the sale of the Austin Centre, a
hotel/office complex, located in Austin, Texas. The sale was
completed by Investors Life Insurance Company of North America
(Investors-NA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILCO. The selling
price was $62.675 million, less $1 million paid to a capital
reserve account for the purchaser. The property was purchased in
1991 for $31.275 million. The book value of the property, $36.8
million, net of improvements and amortization, were retained and
reinvested by Investors-NA. The balance of the proceeds of the
sale, net of Federal Income Tax, were used to reduce the ILCO's
senior loan obligations by $15 million. The sale closed on March
29, 1996. The Company will continue to rent space on three
floors of the office tower as its headquarters, under a lease
which runs through September 31, 1997, with renewal options
thereafter.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 121, "Accounting For the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of." This Statement requires that long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. In addition, the Statement requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less cash to sell.
FAS No. 121 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 1995.
The Company adopted FAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1996. The
adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.
During 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," which encourages companies to adopt the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation.
This method requires the recognition of compensation expense
equal to the fair value of such equity securities at the date of
the grant. This Statement also allows companies to continue to
account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value
based method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," with
footnote disclosure of the pro forma effects of the fair value
based method. FAS No. 123 is effective for transactions entered
into in years that begin after December 15, 1995.
The Company plans to adopt FAS No. 123 during 1996 by continuing
to account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value
method and disclosing the pro forma effects of the fair value
method in the footnotes to the financial statements.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operation:
For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, FIC's net income
was $8,616,000 ($7.76 per common share), as compared to
$2,661,000 ($2.41 per common share) for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1995.
FIC's net income is effected by its equity interest in
InterContinental Life Corporation ("ILCO") and ILCO's insurance
subsidiaries. Net income for the first quarter of 1996 includes
$7.1 million resulting from ILCO's sale of the Austin Centre, a
hotel/office complex, located in Austin, Texas. The sale was
completed by Investors Life Insurance Company of North America
("Investors-NA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILCO. The selling
price was $62.675 million, less $1 million paid to a capital
reserve account for the purchaser. The property was purchased in
1991 for $31.275 million. A portion of the sale proceeds, equal
to the book value of the property, net of improvements and
amortization ($36.8 million), was retained and reinvested by
Investors-NA. The balance of the proceeds of the sale, net of
federal income tax, was used to reduce the ILCO's senior loan
obligations by $15 million. The sale closed on March 29, 1996.
The Company and its affiliates will continue to occupy space on
three floors of the office tower as its headquarters, under a
lease which runs through September 30, 1997, with renewal options
thereafter. The Company has not determined if it will exercise
its renewal options.
The statutory earnings of the Company's life insurance
subsidiary, Family Life Insurance Company, ("Family Life") as
required to be reported to insurance regulatory authorities
before interest expense, capital gains and losses, and federal
income taxes were $2,502,000 at March 31, 1996, as compared to
$3,654,000 at March 31, 1995. These statutory earnings are the
source to provide for the repayment of the indebtedness incurred
in connection with the acquisition of Family Life.
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.
The consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 1996 include
Separate Account assets of Family Life in the amount of $8.5
million. The Separate Account is maintained by Family Life,
which was acquired by FIC on June 12, 1991. Under the provisions
of the purchase agreement between FIC and Merrill Lynch Insurance
Group, Inc., certain life insurance companies affiliated with
Merrill Lynch agreed to assume (on an assumption reinsurance
basis) the variable annuity contracts related to such Separate
Account assets. The transfer of these assets, in accordance with
the provisions of the reinsurance agreement, is subject to
certain regulatory approvals. Such regulatory approvals have
been obtained in a number of jurisdictions, and the assumption of
the business has been completed in those states. However, the
Company has not obtained a definitive date from Merrill Lynch as
to when the remaining regulatory approvals will be obtained, so
as to enable Family Life to complete the transfer of the balance
of the Separate Account assets.
Equity in Net Income of InterContinental Life Corporation
General
Prior to the acquisition of Family Life in June of 1991, FIC's
primary involvement in the life insurance business was through
its equity interest in ILCO. The Company's equity in the net
earnings, net of federal income tax, of ILCO, was $7,147,000 for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$471,000 for the similar period in 1995. This increase is
primarily attributable to the increase in ILCO's net income
resulting from ILCO's sale of the Austin Centre property.
FIC currently owns 1,795,146 shares of ILCO's common stock, and
holds options to acquire an additional 1,702,155 shares. The
options were granted under an Option Agreement between FIC and
ILCO which was entered into in March, 1986. In addition, Family
Life, a subsidiary of FIC, currently owns 171,200 shares of ILCO
common stock. As a result, FIC currently owns, directly and
indirectly through Family Life, 1,966,346 shares (approximately
47%) of ILCO's common stock. If all of FIC's rights under the
Option Agreement were to be presently exercised, FIC's ownership
would amount to approximately 62% of the issued and outstanding
shares of ILCO's common stock.
The fixed maturities available for sale portion of ILCO's
investment assets at March 31, 1996 was $461.6 million. The
amortized cost of the fixed maturities available for sale segment
as of March 31, 1996 was $459.4 million, representing a net
unrealized gain of approximately $2.2 million. This unrealized
gain principally reflects changes in interest rates from the date
the respective investments were purchased. There is no assurance
that this unrealized gain may be realized by ILCO in the future.
Since FIC owns approximately 47% of the common stock of ILCO,
such unrealized gains, net of tax, are reflected in FIC's equity
interest in ILCO, and had the effect of increasing the reported
value of such equity interest by approximately $0.7 million.
ILCO's net income for the three month period ended March 31,
1996, as compared to the same period in 1995, was affected by a
decrease in interest expense. Interest expense was $1.1 million
for the first three months of 1996, as compared to $1.5 million
for the same period in 1995. The decrease is attributable to a
reduction in the average principal balance of the senior loan
from $69.7 million for the three month period ending March 31,
1995 to $44.94 million for the three month period ending March
31, 1996, as well as a decrease in the average rate of interest
paid on the senior loan - 7.91% for the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to 8.80% for the same 1995 period.
ILCO's results for the first three months of 1996 include the
operations of Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana
(formerly Meridian Life Insurance Company). Investors Life
Insurance Company of Indiana ("Investors-IN") was purchased by
ILCO and Investors-NA for an adjusted purchase price of $17.1
million; the transaction was completed on February 14, 1995.
ILCO's results for this period also include the operations of
Investors-NA and InterContinental Life Insurance Company
("ILIC").
Liquidity and Capital Resources of ILCO
ILCO is a holding company whose principal assets consist of the
common stock of Investors-NA and its subsidiaries - ILIC and,
since February, 1995, Investors-IN. ILCO's primary source of
funds consists of payments under the Surplus Debentures from
Investors-NA.
The cash requirements of ILCO consist primarily of its service of
the indebtedness created in connection with the 1988 acquisition
of the Investors Life Companies. In connection with the
acquisition of Investors-IN in February, 1995, ILCO borrowed an
additional $15 million under its Senior Loan to help finance the
purchase. As of December 31, 1995, the unpaid principal of
ILCO's Senior Loan 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 schedule 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 further reduced the total amount of the
outstanding Senior Loan to $29.94 million, as of that date.
ILCO's principal source of liquidity consists of the periodic
payment of principal and interest to it by Investors-NA, pursuant
to the terms of the two surplus debentures. The surplus
debentures were originally issued by Standard Life Insurance
Company and its terms were previously approved by the Mississippi
Insurance Commissioner. One of the surplus debentures, in the
original amount of $15 million, was issued in connection with the
1986 acquisition of Standard Life by ILCO; the other, in the
original amount of $140 million was issued in connection with the
1988 acquisition by ILCO of the Investors Life Companies. Upon
the merger of Standard Life into Investors-NA, the obligations of
the surplus debentures were assumed by Investors-NA. As of March
31, 1996, the outstanding principal balance of the surplus
debentures was $6.7 million and $53.6 million, respectively.
Since Investors-NA is domiciled in the State of Washington, the
Washington insurance laws apply to the administration of the
terms of 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. As of March 31, 1996, the statutory capital
and surplus of Investors-NA was $71.8 million, an amount
substantially in excess of the surplus floor. The funds required
by Investors-NA to meet its obligations to ILCO under the terms
of the surplus debentures are generated from operating income
generated from insurance and investment operations.
ILCO's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is affected,
in part, by receipt of dividends from its insurance subsidiaries.
Under current Washington law, any proposed payment of a dividend
or distribution by the Company's insurance subsidiaries 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.
Washington's insurance code includes the "greater of" standard
for dividends 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. Investors-NA does not presently have earned surplus as
defined by the regulations adopted by the Washington Insurance
Commissioner and, therefore, is not permitted to pay cash
dividends. However, since the new 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 in the amounts necessary to enable ILCO to
service its Senior Loan for the foreseeable future.
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 policy holder 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
currently has earned surplus.
The Form 10-Q of ILCO for each of the quarters ended March 31,
1996 and March 31, 1995, sets forth the business operations and
financial results of ILCO and its life insurance subsidiaries.
Such 10-Q reports of ILCO, including the discussion by ILCO's
management under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" are
incorporated herein by reference.
Results of Operations of Financial Industries Corporation
For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, FIC's income
from operations before Federal income taxes and before equity in
net earnings of affiliate, was $1,876,000 on revenues of
$15,013,000, as compared to $2,804,000, on revenues of
$16,050,000 for the same period in 1995. In part, this can be
attributed to an increase in death claim payments by Family Life.
For the three month period ended March 31, 1996, Family Life paid
$5.6 million in death claims. For that same period in 1995,
death benefit payments totaled $4.7 million.
Premium income, net of reinsurance ceded, for the first quarter
of 1996 was $10.4 million, as compared to $11.1 million in the
same period in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
FIC is a holding company whose principal assets consist of the
common stock of Family Life Insurance Company and its equity
ownership in InterContinental Life Corporation ("ILCO"). FIC's
primary sources of capital consists of cash flow from operations
of its subsidiaries and the proceeds from bank and institutional
borrowings.
The cash requirements of FIC and its subsidiaries consist
primarily of its service of the indebtedness created in
connection with its ownership of Family Life. As of March 31,
1996 the outstanding balance of such indebtedness was: (i) $4.67
million on the Senior Loan granted by a group of banks, which was
completely paid off on April 17, 1996, and (ii) $61.2 million on
the Subordinated Notes granted by Investors-NA.
The principal source of liquidity for FIC's subsidiaries consists
of the periodic payment of principal and interest by Family Life,
pursuant to the terms of a Surplus Debenture. The terms of the
Surplus Debenture were previously approved by the Washington
Insurance Commissioner. Under the provisions of the Surplus
Debenture and current law, no prior approval of the Washington
Insurance Department is required for Family Life to pay interest
or principal on the Surplus Debenture; provided that, after
giving effect to such payments, the statutory surplus of Family
Life is in excess of 6% of assets (the "surplus floor").
However, Family Life 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
debenture. As of March 31, 1996, the statutory capital and
surplus of Family Life was $24.9 million, an amount
substantially in excess of the surplus floor. As of March 31,
1996, the principal balance of the Surplus Debenture was $47.3
million. The funds required by Family Life to meet its
obligations under the terms of the Surplus Debenture are
generated primarily from premium payments from policy holders,
investment income and the proceeds from the sale and redemption
of portfolio investments.
Washington's insurance code includes the "greater of" standard
for dividends 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. Family Life does not presently have earned surplus as
defined by the regulations adopted by the Washington Insurance
Commissioner and, therefore, is not permitted to pay cash
dividends. However, since the new law applies only to dividend
payments, the ability of Family Life to make principal and
interest payments under the Surplus Debenture is not affected.
The Company does not anticipate that Family Life will have any
difficulty in making principal and interest payments on the
Surplus Debenture in the amounts necessary to enable Family Life
Corporation to service its indebtedness for the foreseeable
future.
The sources of funds for Family Life consist of premium payments
from policy holders, investment income and the proceeds from the
sale and redemption of portfolio investments. These funds are
applied primarily to provide for the payment of claims under
insurance and annuity policies, operating expenses, taxes,
investments in portfolio securities, shareholder dividends and
payments under the provisions of the Surplus Debenture.
FIC's net cash flow provided by operating activities was $3.5
million in the three month period ended March 31, 1996, as
compared to $1.38 million for the corresponding period of 1995.
Net cash flow used in financing activities was $(2.09) million
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as compared to
$(1.96) million for the corresponding period of 1995.
In connection with the purchase of the Investors Life Companies
by ILCO, the purchase of Investors-IN by ILCO and Investors-NA
and the purchase of Family Life by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
FIC, FIC guaranteed the payment of the indebtedness created in
connection with such acquisitions. After giving effect to the
refinancing of the ILCO Senior Loan, the repayment of the ILCO
Subordinated Loans and the indebtedness created in connection
with the acquisition of Investors-IN, the guaranty commitments of
FIC with respect to the debt obligations of ILCO relate to ILCO's
Senior Loan, with an outstanding balance at March 31, 1996 of
$44.9 million.
The guaranty commitments of FIC under the loans incurred in
connection with the acquisition of Family Life (after taking into
account the repayments and new loans which occurred in July,
1993) relate to: (i) the Senior Loan of Family Life Corporation
to a bank group, with a balance of $4.67 million at March 31,
1996 (ii) the $22.5 million note issued by Family Life
Corporation to Investors-NA, and (iii) the $34.5 million loaned
by Investors-NA to two subsidiaries of FIC.
Management believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short
term investments are sufficient to meet the needs of its business
and to satisfy debt service.
There are no trends, commitments or capital asset requirements
that are expected to have an adverse effect on the liquidity of
FIC.
Investments
As of March 31, 1996, the Company's invested assets were $112.5,
as compared to $112.6 million as of December 31, 1995.
The level of short-term investments at March 31, 1996 increased
to $29.6 million from the $27.2 million level which existed as
of December 31, 1995. The fixed maturities available for sale
portion represents $81.1 million of invested assets at March 31,
1996, as compared to $83.6 million at December 31, 1995. The
amortized cost of fixed maturities available for sale as of March
31, 1996 was $80.5 million representing a net unrealized gain of
approximately $0.6 million. This unrealized gain principally
reflects changes in interest rates from the date the respective
investments were purchased. There is no assurance that this
unrealized gain may be realized in the future. To reduce the
exposure to interest rate changes, portfolio investments are
selected so that diversity, maturity and liquidity factors
approximate the duration of associated policy holder liabilities.
The assets held by Family Life 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, as of December 31,
1995, consisted solely of fixed maturities investments 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
a "1" (highest quality). As of December 31, 1995, 100% of the
fixed maturities portfolio consisted of investments with an NAIC
rating of "1" (high quality).
Management believes that the absence of "high-yield" or "non-
investment grade" investments (as defined above) in the
portfolios of its life insurance subsidiary enhances the ability
of the Company to service its debt, provide security to its
policy holders and to credit relatively consistent rates of
return to its policy holders.
