(a) General Development of Business Registrant was incorporated under the business laws of the State of North Carolina in 1968 for the purpose of serving as a holding company with broad powers to engage in business and to make investments. Registrant's principal subsidiaries are: Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company, Jefferson-Pilot Fire & Casualty Company, Jefferson-Pilot Title Insurance Company and Jefferson-Pilot Communications Company, all of Greensboro, North Carolina. Through these and other subsidiaries, Registrant is primarily engaged in the business of writing life, annuity, accident and health, property and casualty, and title insurance, and in the business of operating radio and television facilities. Various states, including North Carolina, have enacted insurance holding company legislation which requires the registration of, and periodic reporting by insurance companies licensed to transact business within their respective jurisdictions and which are controlled by other corporations. All of the common stock of Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company, Jefferson-Pilot Fire & Casualty Company and Jefferson-Pilot Title Insurance Company is owned by Jefferson-Pilot Corporation. They are, therefore, by statutory definition, members of an "insurance holding company system", and have registered as such under all applicable state statutes. In many instances, these state statutes require prior approval by state insurance regulators of inter-corporate transfers of assets (including prior approval of payment of extraordinary dividends by insurance subsidiaries) within the holding company system. I-1 (b) Financial Information about Industry Segments Industry segment information is presented in Note 13, Segment Information of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which note is incorporated herein by reference.

I-2 INSURANCE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company Jefferson-Pilot Life was organized under the insurance laws of North Carolina in 1890 and commenced business operations in 1903. It is authorized to write insurance in 43 states, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The Company is primarily engaged in the writing of whole life, term, and endowment policies on an individual ordinary basis and group life and group accident and health insurance. Accident and health insurance is also written on an individual basis. Approximately 13% of the ordinary life insurance in force is on a participating basis; all group life is written on a non- participating basis. Life Insurance. Life policies offered include continuous and limited-pay life and endowment policies, universal life-type and annuity contracts, retirement income plans, and level and decreasing term insurance. On most policies, accidental death and disability benefits are available in the form of riders. At times, sub-standard risks are accepted at higher premiums. At December 31, 1993, approximately 4.4% of the ordinary insurance in force, including reinsurance ceded, was represented by sub-standard risks. The Company markets its individual products through a general agency type system utilizing career agents and home service agents, and through Individual Marketing Organizations (IMO's). IMO's are intermediaries that sell financial products and services through agents they have recruited. Thirty IMO's have been appointed representing approximately 3,300 life insurance agents. Group products are marketed through group brokers, career agents, and home service agents. Individual health products are marketed through all of the Company's sales forces and brokers.

Jefferson-Pilot Life, Jefferson-Pilot Fire & Casualty, Southern Fire & Casualty, Jefferson-Pilot Property and Jefferson-Pilot Title, in common with other insurance companies, are subject to regulation and supervision in the States in which they do business. Although the extent of such regulation varies from state to state, generally the insurance laws of the States concerned establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative powers relating to the granting and revocation of licenses to transact business, the licensing of agents, the approval of the forms of policies used, the form and content of required financial statements, reserve requirements, and, in general, the conduct of all insurance activities. The Companies are also required under these laws to file detailed annual reports with the supervisory agencies in the various states in which they do business, and their business and accounts are subject to examination at any time by such agencies. Under the rules of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the laws of the State of North Carolina, these Companies are examined periodically (usually at three-year intervals) by the supervisory agencies of one or more of the states in which they do business. Competition. All insurance subsidiaries of Registrant operate in a highly competitive field which consists of a large number of stock, mutual and other types of insurers. A large number of established insurance companies compete in the states in which the Companies transact business. Many of these competing companies are mutual companies, which are considered by some to have an advantage because of the fact that such companies write participating policies exclusively, under which profits may inure to the benefit of the policyholder. Jefferson-Pilot Life provides participating policies which are believed to be generally competitive with analogous policies offered by mutual companies. I-7 Employees. As of December 31, 1993, the insurance subsidiaries of the Registrant employed approximately 3,000 agents and employees, in addition to the 3,300 IMO agents mentioned previously.

The Act, and Regulations issued thereunder, prohibit the transfer of a license, or of I-10 control of a licensee without prior approval of the FCC; restrict in various ways the common and multiple ownership of broadcast facilities; restrict alien ownership of licenses; and impose various other strictures on ownership and operation. Broadcasting licenses are granted for a period of five years for television and seven years for radio and, upon application therefor and in the absence of conflicting applications or adverse claims as to the licensee's qualifications or performance, are normally renewed by the FCC for an additional term.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity The Company's liquidity requirements are met primarily by cash flows from the operations of Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company (JPLIFE) and other consolidated subsidiaries. Primary sources of cash from subsidiary operations are premiums, other insurance considerations, investment income and communications revenue. Primary uses of cash in subsidiary operations include payment of insurance benefits, operating expenses and costs related to acquiring new insurance business. Net cash provided by operations on a consolidated basis approximated $160 million, $156 million and $177 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Dividends paid to the parent company approximated $103 million in 1993, $128 million in 1992 and $129 million in 1991. While all significant subsidiaries generally pay dividends to the parent company, JPLIFE continues to be its primary source of dividends, and therefore of cash. Dividends that the insurance subsidiaries may pay without prior regulatory approval are subject to statutory limitation. In addition, life insurance companies became subject to risk-based capital requirements beginning in 1993. Neither of these factors are expected to represent practical restrictions on the dividend payment practices or other activities of the parent company in the foreseeable future. Proceeds from maturities, redemptions and sales of debt securities, mortgage loan repayments and proceeds from sales of equity securities are the primary sources of cash from investing activities. Continuing a trend related to overall interest rate declines, issuer calls and prepayments increased in 1993. This circumstance, combined with scheduled maturities and sales of certain debt securities expected to be called, resulted in cash proceeds from debt securities transactions approximating $940 million in 1993, compared to $375 million in 1992 and $266 million in 1991. Scheduled maturities for 1994 are less than the levels experienced in the three most recent years. While prediction of future calls and prepayments is complicated by interest rate uncertainties, the Company expects them to continue at some level during 1994. Net cash used in investing activities approximated $400 million in 1993, $221 million in 1992 and $228 million in 1991. Reflected for each year are reinvestment of the proceeds from investment transactions, investment of net proceeds from JPLIFE's policyholder contract deposits and investment of net cash provided by current operating activities over that used to pay stockholder dividends and reacquire the Company's common stock. During 1993, the Company also redirected certain short-term investments, primarily cash equivalents, into longer duration investments. The Company continues to select investments based on a disciplined strategy focused on long-term performance objectives. Consistent with that strategy, investments acquired during 1993 consisted primarily of investment II-4 grade debt securities, mortgage loans of quality and diversification comparable to those previously held, and common stock issues offering acceptable relationships between risk and potential total return. Continuing a three-year trend, the Company increased its investment in new mortgage loans during 1993 to approximately $86 million, compared to $60 million in 1992 and $41 million in 1991. The trend reflects an increase in lending opportunities that are acceptable under the Company's standards. The cost of common stock investments acquired in 1993 approximated $65 million. This increase over 1992 and 1991 levels is primarily due to a dividend-roll program. Provision has been made for declines in value of debt securities considered other than temporary and for estimated unrecoverable amounts related to the mortgage loan portfolio. Debt securities and mortgage loans representing credit problems continue to fall below industry averages. The Company's overall investment management strategy encompasses both internal objectives and external circumstances. Its business plan emphasizes growth of the life insurance and other core businesses, achievement of which will require investment of liquid resources. The Company monitors and evaluates securities market conditions and specific external circumstances that may impact individual investment holdings. Asset/liability management strategies may require action in response to such factors as interest rate changes and the effect thereof on prepayment risk. The above-described factors may result in future sales of selected debt securities prior to maturity. In connection with a process begun in 1993, and continuing into 1994, the Company expects that a significant portion of its debt securities will be designated as available for sale in response to these factors. In the first quarter of 1994, the Company will adopt SFAS 115. Under SFAS 115, all equity securities and debt securities classified as available for sale will be stated at value in the consolidated balance sheets. Since classification of the Company's debt securities is not complete, the effect of SFAS 115 on the stated amount of debt securities and the corresponding effects on deferred income tax liabilities, equity and other balance sheet amounts have not yet been determined. Adoption of SFAS 115 will increase the stated amount of equity securities held by the parent company as of January 1, 1994 by $70 million, with associated increases of $28 million in deferred income tax liabilities and $42 million in stockholders' equity. During 1993, the Company utilized an uncommitted bank line of credit in application of its asset/liability management strategies. The line permits the Company to request aggregate advances totaling up to $100 million until October 1994. Maximum utilization of the line approximated $40 million during the year and interest expense was not material. Management expects to increase the utilization of external financing sources as considered appropriate and consistent with its investment management and growth strategies. The Company has historically reacquired its own common stock whenever management considers it prudent. Cash used in connection with that strategy approximated $51 million in 1993, $36 million in 1992 and $18 million in 1991. The Company expects to continue reacquiring its common stock when considered appropriate, with the extent of those acquisitions to be determined based on securities market conditions and other relevant factors. II-5 Capital Resources Consolidated stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1993 amounted to $1.733 billion, compared to $1.668 billion in 1992 and $1.544 billion in 1991 as restated for the effect of adopting SFAS 109 on deferred income tax liabilities. After tax unrealized gains on equity securities included in the preceding amounts approximated $332 million in 1993, $335 million in 1992 and $311 in 1991. The Company regards the regulatory capital status of its insurance subsidiaries, with due consideration to the risk-based capital requirements which became effective for life insurance companies in 1993, to be extremely strong. Management considers existing capital resources to be adequate for the Company's present needs and its business plan places priority on redirecting capital resources presently considered under-utilized into more productive business activities. The Company has no outstanding long-term debt and is not a party to an agreement under which significant long-term financing might be provided by an outside party in the future. The Company leases data processing equipment and field office locations, generally under noncancelable lease terms of three to five years. Financing and capital resources considerations are not critical to the decision making process involving leasing activities. Cash dividends to stockholders amounted to $78.1 million in 1993, $69.1 million in 1992 and $57.4 million in 1991. The Company has consistently returned cash dividends to its stockholders and expects to continue to do so in the future. Capital resources requirements are not expected to represent practical restrictions on future dividend payment plans. Results of Operations - 1993 Compared to 1992 Premiums and other insurance considerations increased by $11.4 million in 1993, to approximately $670 million. The 1993 growth is attributable to individual life premiums and related considerations which increased by 8% over 1992 amounts and improved upon a recent annual growth trend of less than 2% per year. The increase results from implementation of various aspects of the Company's current business plan. Accident and health and casualty and title premiums remained substantially stable during 1993, with the former increasing and the latter decreasing modestly. Net investment income increased by $8.7 million (2.4%) during 1993, with the increase in the debt securities investment base offsetting the effects of a lower interest rate environment. Communications revenue increased by $15.2 million over 1992, to about $145 million, due primarily to a combination of the improved economic environment and measures taken to strengthen the market position of certain broadcast properties, including acquisitions in new and previously existing markets. Realized investment gains increased to $56.9 million in 1993, compared to $48.2 million in 1992, with call premiums and gains from sales of debt securities expected to be called more than offsetting a provision for other than temporary decline in value of certain debt securities ($8 million) and reduced gains on sales of common stocks. Life insurance benefits and other credits to policyholders increased from $279 million in 1992 to $296 million in 1993 (6%), with much of the II-6 increase attributable to interest credited on interest-sensitive products. Accident and health benefits continued to decline, decreasing from approximately $318 million in 1992 to approximately $306 million in 1993 and reflect the continued emphasis on underwriting and claims management effectiveness. Casualty and title claims decreased by about $2 million in 1993, as reinsurance recoveries on incurred losses more than offset an increase in incurred losses before reinsurance. Expenses other than those related to communications operations remained basically flat in 1993 as compared to 1992, reflecting the ongoing benefit of the Company's containment program. A significant consolidation of field offices undertaken in 1993 helped to reduce field office expenses for the year in addition to improving marketing efficiency. Expenses of the communications businesses increased by approximately $12 million due primarily to promotional expenses incurred to strengthen market position, charges related to aged syndicated programming and operating costs of newly acquired properties. Income taxes as a percent of before tax income increased to 31.9% in 1993, compared to 28.8% in 1992. The increase resulted from a combination of an increase in the federal tax rate (from 34% to 35%) prescribed by the 1993 Act and the beneficial effect on 1992 income taxes of recoveries and reductions of previously provided amounts related to prior tax assessments. Consolidated net income for 1993 reflects a charge of $24.1 million, net of deferred tax benefit, for the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 106, which required the Company to provide for the cost of postretirement health care and life insurance benefits provided to retirees during the period of their service to the Company instead of on a cash basis after their retirement. The amount of this charge is consistent with the Company's previously reported estimate. Before the cumulative effect charge, consolidated after-tax income increased by approximately $16 million during 1993, to $219.3 million. Each of the Company's significant business activities made some contribution to the current year increase. Approximate increases by major business activity, exclusive of realized investment gains were as follows: life and accident and health insurance $2 million, casualty and title insurance $1 million, communications $3 million, and corporate level activities $5 million (primarily through expense reductions). The balance of the 1993 increase in consolidated pre-SFAS 106 income ($5 million) is attributable to the increase in realized investment gains. Results of Operations - 1992 Compared to 1991 Premiums and other insurance considerations were $658 million in both 1992 and 1991, with revenue from life, accident and health and other insurance products remaining substantially stable. Net investment income for 1992 increased by $8.1 million over 1991, due primarily to increased investment in debt securities. Revenue from communications operations increased by $4.7 million, to $129.7 million during 1992 due to overall improvement in advertising market conditions and the 1992 elections. Call premiums on debt securities and an increase of $20.3 million in gains from sales of common stocks contributed to a net increase in realized investment gains of $14.2 million, to $48.2 million, during 1992. II-7 Insurance benefits decreased 2.4% from $642.5 million in 1991 to $627.1 million in 1992. The primary contributing factors were a reduction in surrender benefits of $8.7 million and a reduction in casualty benefits of $6.6 million. The reduction in surrender benefits during 1992 continued a trend which began in 1985, and was favorably affected by declining interest rates. The reduction in casualty benefits reflects an improvement in loss experience, which was due in part to more selective underwriting practices. Increases in general and administrative expenses of the insurance businesses and communications operating expenses during 1992 were modest, reflecting ongoing aggressive expense management. Effective income tax rates for 1992 and 1991 were consistent, with each year benefitting from recoveries of amounts paid and reductions of amounts previously provided for prior year tax assessments. On a consolidated basis, net income increased from $175.7 million in 1991 to $203.2 million in 1992 ($27.5 million). Each of the Company's principal business activities contributed to the increase in net income, with net income from the core business of life and accident and health insurance increasing by $10.4 million, net income from other insurance operations increasing by $4.5 million and net income from communications operations increasing by $3.8 million. The balance of the increase in net income during 1992 is attributable to realized investment gains. II-8 Item 8.

F-8 JEFFERSON-PILOT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF JEFFERSON-PILOT CORPORATION SCHEDULE III Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying financial statements comprise a condensed presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation (the "Company") on a separate-company basis. These condensed financial statements do not include the accounts of the Company's majority-owned sub- sidiaries, but instead include the Company's investment in those subsidiaries, stated at amounts which are substantially equal to the Company's equity in the subsidiaries' net assets. Therefore the accompanying financial statements are not those of the primary reporting entity. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are included in the Jefferson-Pilot Corporation Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Short-term investments are stated at cost which approximates value. Debt securities are stated at amortized cost, and equity securities are stated at cost. Other significant accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries are as set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Note 2. Investment Information Debt securities held by the Company consist of U.S. Treasury notes maturing in the years 2000 through 2003 and have aggregate fair value approximating $139,000,000. Equity securities held by the Company have aggregate market value approximating $74,754,000 in 1993 and $56,900,000 in 1992, resulting in unrealized gains of $70,100,000 and $51,551,000, respectively. Since the equity securities are stated at cost, related unrealized gains are not reflected in the accompanying balance sheets. Net unrealized gains on equity securities held by insurance subsidiaries, reduced by the subsidiaries' related deferred income tax liabilities, are included in the carrying amount of the Company's investments in those subsidiaries with corresponding credits included in stockholders' equity. Note 3. Notes Payable Information about notes payable is contained in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. F-9 Note 4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Information about commitments and contingent liabilities involving the Company and its subsidiaries is contained in Notes 11 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Note 5. Common Stock and Stock Options Information about common stock and stock options is contained in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Note 6. Retained Earnings Information about certain limitations affecting the amount of dividends that the insurance subsidiaries may pay to the Company without the approval of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of North Carolina is contained in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Note 7. Other Investment Income Other investment income consists principally of interest on cash equivalents, short-term investments, and debt securities and dividends on investments in common stocks. Interest from subsidiaries included in other investment income was not material in any year presented. Note 8. Income Taxes (Benefits) During 1993, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Information about the requirements of SFAS 109 is contained in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. As disclosed in the above-mentioned consolidated financial statements, the Company and its subsidiaries elected to restate prior year financial statements to give retroactive effect to the new income tax accounting standards under SFAS 109. Accordingly, retained earnings as of December 31, 1992, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet, has been reduced by $18,555,593, with corresponding reductions in the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries and deferred income tax assets (included with other assets) of $16,858,938 and $1,696,655, respectively. Statements of income for 1992 and 1991 have not been restated because the SFAS 109 standards had negligible effect on net income for those years. F-10 Income taxes (benefits) as reported in the statements of income differ from the amounts which result from applying the maximum federal income tax rates of 35% in 1993 and 34% in 1992 and 1991 to income before income taxes and equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries. The predominant reason for the difference is elimination of dividends from subsidiaries in arriving at income subject to income taxes. Net deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 are not material and have been included with other assets. The deferred components of income taxes (benefits) was not material in any year presented. The Company pays the federal income taxes indicated on its consolidated federal income tax return and collects from subsidiaries the amounts which the subsidiaries would have paid had they filed separate returns (or pays to them the benefits resulting from including their losses in the return). Information about untaxed life insurance company income and the status of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to federal income tax return examinations is contained in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Note 9. Postretirement Benefit Plans Information about postretirement benefit plans sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries is contained in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. The effect of adopting SFAS 106 "Employers' Accounting for Post- retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" during 1993 is reflected primarily in equity in undistributed net income of subsidiaries, as are substantially all postretirement benefits expenses. Note 10. New Accounting Standards Information about accounting standards issued during 1993 which will, or may have, an effect on the Company's financial statements and those of its subsidiaries when adopted is contained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. One of the new standards is SFAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", which will be effective for the Company's 1994 financial statements. Among the requirements of SFAS 115 will be that the Company's equity securities be stated at market value. Adoption of SFAS 115 as of January 1, 1994 will increase the stated F-11 amount of equity securities held by the Company by $70,100,000, with corresponding credits of approximately $28,040,000 to deferred income tax liabilities and $42,060,000 to stockholders' equity. The effect of adopting SFAS 115 on the carrying amounts of debt securities and investments in subsidiaries has not yet been determined since the required classification of debt securities held by the Company and its subsidiaries is not complete.

Therefore, information related to other insurance operations (property and casualty and title insurance) has been combined with information related to life insurance operations for purposes of this schedule. (b) Future policy benefits include a provision for liabilities related to life and annuity and accident and health business. Future policy benefits as of December 31, 1992 and 1991 have been restated and increased by $12,993,000 and $11,100,000, respectively, to reflect the adoption of SFAS 113 "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts" during 1993. (c) Other policy claims and benefits payable include dividend accumu- lations and other policyholder funds on deposit, policy and contract claims (life and annuity and accident and health), dividends for policyholders, casualty insurance unearned premiums and losses payable, and other policy liabilities. Other policy claims and benefits payable as of December 31, 1992 and 1991 have been restated and increased by $7,932,000 and $9,076,000 respectively, to reflect the adoption of SFAS 113 during 1993. (d) Benefits, claims, losses, and settlement expenses for 1992 and 1991 have been increased by $16,997,000 and $16,598,000, respectively, to reflect the reclassification of dividends to participating policyholders for conformity with 1993 presenta- tion. (e) Expenses related to the management and administration of investments have been netted with investment income in the determination of net investment income. Such expenses amounted to $10,945,000 in 1993, $10,553,000 in 1992 and $10,285,000 in 1991. Other operating expenses for 1992 and 1991 have been reduced by $16,997,000 and $16,598,000, respectively, to reflect the reclassification of dividends to participating policyholders to Column H "Benefits, Claims, Losses, and Settlement Expenses" for conformity with 1993 presentation. (f) Consists of net premiums written on property and casualty insurance only. Does not apply to life insurance or title insurance.
