HOME BENEFICIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation - In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements of the
Corporation contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March
31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The
consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation, its principal subsidiary, Home Beneficial Life Insurance
Company (the Life Company), and its other subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's
1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.
2. During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation purchased 128,373 shares
of its Class A Common Stock at a cost of $3.1 million.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Financial Condition
The Corporation is primarily engaged in the life insurance business which
historically has provided a positive cash flow. By statute, the Life
Company is required to invest in quality securities which provide ample
protection for its policyholders. Policy liabilities of the Life Company
are predominately long term in nature and are supported primarily by long
term fixed maturity investments and mortgage loans on real estate.
Assets totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 1996 with investment assets
totalling $1.3 billion or 90% of total assets. The Corporation's fixed
maturity and equity securities portfolio is classified in the balance
sheet as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. At March 31, 1996
the fair value of these securities exceeded their cost by $51 million. At
March 31, 1996 there were no principal and interest payments past due on
fixed maturities, and over 99% of the mortgage loans on real estate were
current for both principal and interest.
The Life Company continually matches the investment portfolio to the cash
flow demands of the types of insurance being written and maintains
adequate cash and short term investments to meet cash requirements for
policy loans and voluntary policy terminations, as well as investment
commitments. Policy loans account for less than 5% of total cash and
invested assets.
As disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of
December 31, 1995, $145 million of consolidated stockholders' equity
represents net assets of the Life Company that cannot be transferred in
the form of dividends, loans or advances to the Corporation. However,
this poses no liquidity concerns to the Corporation as it has sufficient
cash flow to meet its operational requirements.
Results of Operations
Net income for the first three months of 1996 was $9,470,690 compared to
$9,464,730 for the same period in 1995. Realized investment gains were
insignificant for the two periods.
Individual life insurance sales for 1996 increased by 6% and amounted to
$230 million compared to $217 million for the first three months of 1995.
Net investment income, excluding realized investment gains and losses,
increased 1.8% compared to an increase of 3.8% for the 1995 period. The
improvement for both 1996 and 1995 resulted from growth in portfolio
assets.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
(a) During the three months ended March 31, 1996, and during the period
