REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Directors and Stockholder
Protective Life Insurance Company
Birmingham, Alabama
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of
Protective Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994, and the
related consolidated condensed statements of income and cash flows for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February
14, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion which contains an explanatory
paragraph regarding the changes in accounting for certain investments in debt
and equity securities in 1993 and postretirement benefits other than pensions in
1992 on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet
as of December 31, 1993, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of
Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective Life") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the six month period ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending Decem-
ber 31, 1994. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in Protective Life's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.
Protective Life is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation
("PLC").
NOTE B - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
At June 30, 1994, Protective Life was committed to fund approximately
$252.6 million of long-term investments. Also, PLC has issued a guarantee in
connection with the sale of certain tax exempt mortgage loans which may be put
to Protective Life in the event of default. At June 30, 1994, the loans totaled
$21.7 million.
Under insurance guaranty fund laws, in most states, insurance companies
doing business therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder
losses incurred by insolvent companies. Protective Life does not believe such
assessments will be materially different from amounts already provided for in
the financial statements. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an
assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own
financial strength.
Protective Life and its subsidiaries, like other life and health insurers,
from time to time are involved in litigation. To date, no such lawsuit has
resulted in the award of any significant amount of damages against Protective
Life. There are currently several lawsuits pending against Protective Life in
Alabama, one of which is a class action concerning the sale of credit insurance.
Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty,
Protective Life believes that such litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on its financial position.
6
NOTE C - STATUTORY REPORTING PRACTICES
Financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (i.e., GAAP) differ in some respects from the statutory
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory
authorities. At June 30, 1994, Protective Life and its life insurance
subsidiaries had consolidated net income and stockholder's equity prepared in
conformity with statutory reporting practices of $17.9 million and $262.4
million, respectively.
NOTE D - RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
At December 31, 1993, Protective Life adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." For purposes of adopting SFAS No. 115 Protective
Life has classified all of its investments in fixed maturities, equity
securities, and short-term investments as "available for sale." As prescribed
in SFAS No. 115, these investments are recorded at their market values with the
resulting net unrealized gain or loss, net of income tax, recorded as a
component of stockholder's equity. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 115 at
December 31, 1993 was to increase fixed maturities by $65.6 million, decrease
deferred policy acquisition costs by $12.4 million, increase the liability for
deferred income taxes by $18.6 million, and increase stockholder's equity by
$34.6 million. The effect of having adopted SFAS No. 115 at June 30, 1994
(compared to financial statements prepared under previous accounting standards)
was to decrease fixed maturities by $120.6 million, increase deferred policy
acquisition costs by $17.0 million, decrease the liability for deferred income
taxes by $36.3 million, and decrease stockholder's equity by $67.3 million.
NOTE E - CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA RESULTS
Summarized below are the consolidated results of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1993, on an unaudited pro forma basis, as if the Wisconsin
National acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 1993. The pro forma
information is based on Protective Life's historical consolidated results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1993 and on data provided by
Wisconsin National, using financial statement classifications consistent with
those used by Protective Life after giving effect to certain pro forma
adjustments. The pro forma financial information does not purport to be
indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had the
transactions occurred on the basis assumed above nor are they indicative of the
future operations of the combined enterprises.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective Life") is a wholly-owned and
the principal operating subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation ("PLC"), an
insurance holding company whose common stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange. Founded in 1907, Protective Life provides financial services through
the production, distribution, and administration of insurance and investment
products.
Over the last twenty-five years PLC has made over thirty acquisitions of
smaller insurance companies or blocks of policies. Many of these transactions
included Protective Life. Additionally, PLC has from time to time merged other
life insurance companies it has acquired into Protective Life. In July 1993,
Protective Life acquired Wisconsin National Life Insurance Company ("Wisconsin
National") and acquired by reinsurance a block of universal life policies. In
April 1994, Protective Life acquired by reinsurance a block of payroll deduction
policies.
In accordance with General Instruction H(2)(a), Protective Life includes
the following analysis with the reduced disclosure format.
REVENUES
The following table sets forth revenues by source for the period shown:
SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30 PERCENTAGE
(IN THOUSANDS) INCREASE
-------------------- ----------
1994 1993
-------- --------
Premiums and policy fees $187,486 $159,852 17.3%
Net investment income 194,695 162,090 20.1
Realized investment gains 1,733 802 116.1
Other income 2,228 1,988 12.1
-------- --------
$386,142 $324,732
-------- --------
-------- --------
Premiums and policy fees increased $27.6 million or 17.3% in the first six
months of 1994 over the first six months of 1993. Increases in premiums and
policy fees from the Agency and Financial Institutions Divisions represent
increases of $4.1 million, and $8.3 million, respectively. The Wisconsin
National acquisition resulted in a $9.9 million increase in premiums and policy
fees and the reinsurance in 1993 of a block of universal life policies resulted
in a $3.6 million increase. The reinsurance of a block of payroll deduction
policies effective April 2, 1994 resulted in a $3.2 million increase. Decreases
in older acquired blocks of policies represent a $1.4 million decrease in
premiums and policy fees.
Net investment income in the first six months of 1994 increased by $32.6
million or 20.1% over the corresponding period of the preceding year, primarily
due to increases in the average amount of invested assets. Invested assets have
increased primarily due to
8
receiving annuity and guaranteed investment contract ("GIC") deposits and to
acquisitions. Annuity and GIC deposits are not considered revenues in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These deposits are
included in the liability section of the balance sheet. The Wisconsin National
acquisition and the reinsurance of a block of universal life policies and a
block of payroll deduction policies resulted in an increase in net investment
income of $16.2 million in the first six months of 1994.
Protective Life generally purchases its investments with the intent to hold
to maturity by purchasing investments that match future cash-flow needs. The
sales of investments that have occurred result from portfolio management
decisions to maintain proper matching of assets and liabilities.
Realized investment gains for the first six months of 1994 were $0.9
million higher than the corresponding period of 1993. Realized investment gains
in the first six months of 1993 were reduced by a $4.4 million increase in
Protective Life's allowance for uncollectible accounts on investments (primarily
relating to mortgage loans) which was recorded as a realized investment loss.
In 1994, realized investment gains have been reduced by realized investment
losses incurred from sales of investments that occurred to maintain proper
matching of assets and liabilities.
Recently, rising interest rates have caused market values to fall below
amortized cost for many of Protective Life's fixed maturity investments.
Therefore, some realized investment losses may be incurred upon future sales of
investments to maintain proper matching of assets and liabilities. Protective
Life does not anticipate such realized investment losses will be material.
Other income consists primarily of fees from administrative-services-only
types of group accident and health insurance contracts, and from rental of space
in its administrative building to PLC.

segment for the periods shown:

Agency pretax earnings were $0.4 million lower in the first six months of
1994 as compared to the first six months of 1993 primarily due to higher
expenses.
Group pretax earnings were $0.8 million lower in the first six months of
1994 as compared to the first six months of 1993 due to start up expenses of
approximately $0.9 million related to the establishment of a special marketing
unit to sell dental plans through mail and telephone solicitations. Lower
traditional group life and health earnings were offset by improved earnings from
dental products.
Pretax earnings of the Financial Institutions Division were $0.3 million
higher in the first six months of 1994 as compared to the same period in 1993.
Increased earnings in certain lines of business were partially offset by
decreases in other lines.
Investment Products Division pretax earnings were $0.5 million higher in
the first six months of 1994 compared to the same period of 1993. The
Division's earnings have increased due to the growth in annuity deposits, though
the increase was largely offset by realized investment losses from the sale of
investments to maintain proper matching of assets and liabilities, and increased
expenses of approximately $1.0 million related to the development and
introduction of a variable annuity. Variable annuity deposits are reported in
the accompanying financial statements as "Liabilities related to separate
accounts."
The Guaranteed Investment Contract ("GIC") Division had pretax earnings of
$20.7 million in the first six months of 1994 and $10.3 million in the
corresponding period of 1993. Realized investment gains associated with this
Division were $5.2 million higher in the first six months of 1994 as compared to
the same period last year. GIC earnings have also increased due to improved
investment results and to the growth in deposits placed with Protective Life.
At June 30, 1994, GIC deposits totaled $2.1 billion compared to $1.9 billion one
year earlier.
Pretax earnings from the Acquisitions Division increased $6.5 million in
the first six months of 1994 as compared to the same period of 1993. Earnings
from the Acquisitions Division are expected to decline over time (due to the
lapsing of policies resulting from deaths of insureds or terminations of
coverage) unless new acquisitions are made. As previously discussed, Protective
Life completed its acquisition of Wisconsin National and acquired by reinsurance
a block of universal life policies during the 1993 third quarter. These two
acquisitions represent approximately $6.3 million of the increase. The Division
also experienced improved results in its other blocks of acquired policies due
to improved mortality which more than offset earnings declines due to lapsing of
policies. On April 2, 1994 the Division acquired by reinsurance a small block
of payroll deduction policies which is expected to add slightly to earnings in
1994. As of the filing of this report, the Division is awaiting regulatory
approval to acquire another block of policies via a 100% coinsurance transaction
involving approximately $100 million of policy liabilities.
In the ordinary course of business, the Acquisitions Division regularly
considers acquisitions of smaller insurance companies or blocks of policies.
Among potential transactions, the Division is currently discussing the possible
purchase of a closely-held stock life insurance company having assets in excess
of $300 million that is primarily involved in ordinary and universal life
insurance, annuities and accident and health insurance. Protective Life is
considering using a combination of debt and equity to finance such acquisition
if it were to be consummated. Completion of this transaction is contingent on
10
resolution of outstanding business issues with the prospective transferor,
satisfactory completion of due diligence, negotiation of definitive
documentation, receipt of board of directors and regulatory approvals, and
other conditions, and no assurances can be be given that the transaction will
be consummated.
The Corporate and Other segment consists of several small insurance lines
of business, net investment income and other operating expenses not identified
with the preceding operating divisions (including interest on substantially all
debt), and the operations of a small noninsurance subsidiary. Pretax earnings
for this segment were $5.2 million lower in the first six months of 1994 as
compared to the first six months of 1993 primarily due to higher expenses.
INCOME TAXES
The following table sets forth the effective tax rates for the periods
shown:
SIX MONTHS

---------- -------------------
1994 32.1%
1993 32.7
The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 1993 was 32.7%.
Management's estimate of the effective income tax rate for 1994 is 32.1%.
NET INCOME

1993 26,394 52.0
Compared to the same period in 1993, net income in the first six months of
1994 increased $5.9 million, reflecting improved earnings in the Financial
Institutions, Investment Products, GIC, and Acquisitions Divisions, which were
partially offset by lower earnings in the Agency and Group Divisions and the
Corporate and Other segment.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Protective Life recently adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 which requires Protective Life to carry its
investment in fixed maturities and certain other securities at market value
instead of amortized cost. Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized
11
gains and losses, net of income tax, on such investments are reported as a
component of stockholder's equity. The market values of fixed maturities
increase or decrease as interest rates fall or rise. Therefore, although the
adoption of SFAS No. 115 will not affect Protective Life's operations, its
reported stockholder's equity may fluctuate significantly as interest rates
change.
During the first six months of 1994, interest rates rose approximately 1.7
percentage points. Even though Protective Life believes its asset/liability
matching practices and certain product features provide significant protection
for Protective Life against the effects of changes in interest rates, the new
accounting rule required reporting a $101.9 million decrease in stockholder's
equity.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." Protective Life anticipates
that the impact of adopting SFAS No. 114 on its financial condition will be
immaterial.
