BUSINESS A. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS UNUM Corporation is a Delaware corporation organized in 1985 as an insurance holding company. UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries ("UNUM") are the leading providers of group long term disability insurance ("group LTD") in the United States and the United Kingdom. UNUM is also a major provider of employee benefits, individual disability insurance and special risk reinsurance. UNUM also markets long term care and retirement income products. The operations of the following subsidiaries account for substantially all of UNUM's consolidated assets and revenues. UNUM Corporation is based in Portland, Maine, and through its affiliates has operations in North America, the United Kingdom and the Pacific Rim. UNUM conducts its operations in the United States through a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries including: UNUM Life Insurance Company of America ("UNUM America"), a Maine life insurance company licensed in 49 states and Canada, the leading provider of group disability insurance in the nation and provider of employee benefits, long term care and retirement products; First UNUM Life Insurance Company ("First UNUM"), a New York life insurance company; Commercial Life Insurance Company, a Wisconsin life insurance company and a leader in special risk insurance and professional association insurance marketing; Duncanson & Holt, Inc., a New York corporation and a leading accident and health reinsurance underwriting manager; Colonial Companies, Inc., a Delaware holding company whose wholly-owned subsidiary, Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, is a leader in payroll-deducted voluntary employee benefits offered to employees at their worksites; and UNUM Holding Company, a Delaware corporation. Through UNUM Holding Company, UNUM Corporation also owns UNUM Sales Corporation, a licensed broker-dealer incorporated in Delaware, and Claims Service International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which provides claims administration services. UNUM Corporation also holds all of the outstanding capital stock of UNUM European Holding Company, which is incorporated in the United Kingdom. UNUM's United Kingdom operations are conducted by UNUM Limited, which is the United Kingdom's leader in group disability insurance and a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNUM European Holding Company, and Duncanson & Holt Europe Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duncanson & Holt, Inc. UNUM's Japanese operations are conducted through a wholly-owned subsidiary, UNUM Japan Accident Insurance Company Limited ("UNUM Japan"), a Japanese non-life insurance company, which was established in 1994. On December 3, 1992, UNUM and Colonial Companies, Inc. ("Colonial Companies"), signed a definitive merger agreement. On March 26, 1993, Colonial Companies Class A common stock shareholders voted to approve the merger. Under the agreement, UNUM exchanged 0.731 shares of its common stock for each share of Colonial Companies Class A and Class B common stock outstanding on March 26, 1993. UNUM issued approximately 11.4 million shares of common stock from treasury in connection with the merger. In addition, outstanding options to acquire shares of Colonial Companies Class B common stock were converted into options to acquire shares of UNUM common stock. The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests. On January 24, 1996, UNUM America entered into an agreement for the sale of its group tax-sheltered annuity ("TSA") business to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"), a part of Lincoln National Corporation, and to a new New York insurance subsidiary of Lincoln Life. The agreement also contemplates that First UNUM will enter into a similar agreement with Lincoln Life's New York insurance subsidiary. The sale, which is subject to regulatory approvals, involves approximately 1,700 group contractholders and assets under management of approximately $3 billion. The agreement initially contemplates the reinsurance of these contracts under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement. These contracts will then be reinsured pursuant to an assumption reinsurance arrangement upon consent of the TSA contractholders and/or participants. The purchase price (ceding commission) at closing is expected to be approximately $70 million. It is anticipated that it will take several months (perhaps six to nine months) to obtain the necessary approvals and otherwise close the sale. There is no guarantee that the sale will close. On February 7, 1996, UNUM announced plans to merge Commercial Life Insurance Company into UNUM America to accelerate growth of its special risk business, increase its commitment to the association group business and to improve operating and capital efficiencies. The merger will be effective December 31, 1996, subject to regulatory approvals. 3 To more clearly reflect UNUM's management of its businesses and to more appropriately group its product portfolios, UNUM began reporting its operations, effective January 1, 1995, principally in four business segments: Disability Insurance, Special Risk Insurance, Colonial Products and Retirement Products. Corporate includes transactions that are generally non-insurance related and interest expense on corporate borrowings. For comparative purposes, prior period information has been restated to reflect reporting in these segments. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) for more information. B. DISABILITY INSURANCE SEGMENT The Disability Insurance segment, which in 1995 accounted for 60.0% of UNUM's revenues and 56.8% of its income before income taxes, includes disability products offered in North America, the United Kingdom and Japan including: group LTD, individual disability, group short term disability, association group disability, disability reinsurance and long term care insurance. UNUM AMERICA AND FIRST UNUM: UNUM America and First UNUM market their group and individual insurance products, as well as long term care products, which are included in the Disability Insurance and Special Risk Insurance segments, through a network of 33 offices in the United States and Canada that distribute these products through brokers. As of December 31, 1995, these branch offices were organized into four regions and were staffed with approximately 720 management, sales, service and administrative personnel. GROUP LONG TERM DISABILITY UNUM America and First UNUM's group LTD product is the Disability Insurance segment's principal product. UNUM America and First UNUM target sales of group LTD to executive, administrative and management personnel, and other professionals. Since 1976, UNUM America and First UNUM combined have been the United States' leading provider of group LTD according to EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW, a recognized industry publication. Group LTD provides employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. Most of these policies begin providing benefits following 90- or 180-day waiting periods and continue providing benefits until the employee reaches age 65-70. Group LTD benefits are paid monthly and generally are limited to two-thirds of the employee's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. Premiums for group LTD insurance are based upon the expected mortality, morbidity and persistency of the insured group, as well as assumptions concerning operating expenses and future interest rates. INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY Individual disability products provide coverage for loss of income for professionals, corporate executives, business owners and administrative support personnel in the event of disability. As reported in the Life Insurance Marketing Research Association's 1994 INDIVIDUAL HEALTH ISSUES AND INFORCE SURVEY for the United States and Canada, the most recent available data, UNUM America and First UNUM combined were the fourth largest provider of individual disability income policies measured by premium inforce. UNUM announced in November 1994 that it would discontinue sales of the traditional, fixed price, non-cancellable individual disability product ("non-cancellable product") in the United States upon introduction of the new disability product in each state. During the second quarter of 1995, UNUM introduced the guaranteed renewable Lifelong Disability Protection product, which is replacing the non-cancellable product. The Lifelong Disability Protection product provides benefits and transitional support for moderate disabilities, while providing richer benefits for severe disabilities. Various options are available that permit tailoring of an insurance policy to the specific client's needs. The most common options include up to 60% base income replacement coverage, an option to purchase up to 40% further coverage in the event of catastrophic injury or illness involving the loss of two or more Activities of Daily Living, and an automatic option to convert to a long term care policy at retirement age. At the end of 1995, the Lifelong Disability Protection product had been approved in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Sales of the non-cancellable product are being discontinued in each state following the regulatory approval of the Lifelong Disability Protection product. Until the new products are approved, UNUM will continue to sell individual disability products on a non-cancellable basis, with a fixed premium for the duration of the policy. The basic individual disability policy provides the insured with a portion of the earned income which is lost as a result of sickness or injury. Monthly benefits available range from 30% to 70% of the insured's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. UNUM also markets buy/sell and key person coverage and policies that provide reimbursement for business overhead expenses incurred during a period of disability. 4 Individual disability insurance premium rates are based on expected mortality, morbidity and persistency, as well as assumptions concerning policy related expenses, inflation and investment income. GROUP SHORT TERM DISABILITY Group short term disability insurance ("group STD") provides employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. Most of these policies begin providing benefits immediately for accidents, or following a one-week waiting period for sickness, and continue providing benefits for up to 26 weeks. Group STD benefits are paid weekly and generally are limited to 60% of the employee's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. As reported by EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW, UNUM America and First UNUM combined were one of the top three providers of group STD for 1994, based on premium and number of lives inforce. LONG TERM CARE UNUM America and First UNUM market long term care ("LTC") insurance to employer groups, continuing care retirement communities and individuals. The group LTC product is offered on an employer or employee-paid basis, and employer groups may offer coverage to retirees, spouses, parents and grandparents, in addition to the employee. UNUM LIMITED: UNUM Limited was the leading provider for 1994 of group LTD insurance in the United Kingdom, as reported by Employers Re. International. UNUM Limited targets group LTD sales to management personnel, other professionals, and technical and skilled artisans. These products are marketed through a network of independent brokers. UNUM Limited's group LTD products provide employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. UNUM Limited also markets individual disability insurance through brokers and agents to self-employed individuals and those not covered under group policies. Premiums for group LTD and individual disability insurance are based upon the expected mortality, morbidity and persistency of the insured group, as well as assumptions concerning operating expenses and future interest rates. In May 1994, UNUM Limited assumed the management of the group risk portfolio of Windsor Life Assurance Company Limited ("Windsor Life"), which included group LTD and group life products. Windsor Life was the third largest group LTD provider in the United Kingdom in 1993, as reported by Employers Re. International. UNUM JAPAN: On June 20, 1994, the Japanese Ministry of Finance granted UNUM a provisional license that allowed UNUM to establish a non-life insurance company, UNUM Japan Accident Insurance Company Limited ("UNUM Japan"), to market disability and other accident products in Japan. UNUM Japan has subsequently received an official license. UNUM Japan targets sales of group LTD to executive, administrative and management personnel, and other professionals. These products are marketed through contracted independents and brokers. Group LTD provides employees with insurance coverage for loss of income in the event of inability to work due to sickness or injury. Most of these policies begin providing benefits following 90- or 365-day waiting periods and continue providing benefits until the employee reaches age 65-70. Group LTD benefits are paid monthly and generally are limited to 60% of the employee's earned income up to a specified maximum benefit. Premiums for group LTD insurance are based upon the expected mortality, morbidity and persistency of the insured group, as well as assumptions concerning operating expenses and future interest rates. OTHER: Through Commercial Life Insurance Company ("Commercial Life"), UNUM is a leader in the association group marketplace, offering disability income to members of professional associations. Duncanson & Holt Services manages long term disability reinsurance through UNUM America and a disability reinsurance syndicate. Duncanson & Holt Services is a leading manager of group LTD reinsurance in the United States. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Disability Insurance Segment" for more information. C. SPECIAL RISK INSURANCE SEGMENT The Special Risk Insurance segment in 1995 accounted for 18.2% of UNUM's revenues and 15.8% of its income before income taxes. The Special Risk Insurance segment includes group life, special risk accident insurance, non-disability reinsurance operations, reinsurance underwriting management operations and other special risk insurance products. 5 The Special Risk Insurance segment's group insurance products are sold primarily on a basis that permits annual repricing. This enables UNUM to adjust the pricing of its products to more closely match the underlying claim experience and interest rate environment. UNUM America and First UNUM's group life insurance products provide term insurance to a broad range of employees. As reported by EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN REVIEW for 1994, the most recent available data, UNUM America and First UNUM combined were the fifth largest writer of group life insurance in the United States, based on number of contracts inforce. UNUM America and First UNUM also market other special risk insurance products, including group accidental death & dismemberment insurance. UNUM America and First UNUM market their group and individual insurance products, as well as long term care products, which are included in the Disability Insurance and Special Risk Insurance segments, through a network of 33 offices in the United States and Canada that distribute these products through brokers. As of December 31, 1995, these branch offices were organized into four regions and were staffed with approximately 720 management, sales, service and administrative personnel. Through Commercial Life, UNUM is a leading provider of group special risk accident products, including group travel and voluntary accident insurance. Commercial Life also provides group universal life, group term life and payroll deduction programs for employees through a network of independent brokers and specialty agents. Commercial Life is a leader in the association group marketplace, offering business overhead expense, accidental death and dismemberment, hospital indemnity and term life insurance to members of professional associations. On July 30, 1992, UNUM purchased Duncanson & Holt, Inc. ("D&H"), a leading accident and health reinsurance underwriting manager. As a reinsurance underwriting manager, D&H is authorized to conduct reinsurance business on behalf of the member companies participating in its reinsurance facilities. D&H provides pool management services that may include marketing, underwriting, administration, claims payment and actuarial services for client companies, but does not bear any insurance risk. D&H has offices throughout the United States and in London, Toronto and Singapore. The non-disability reinsurance operations include UNUM America's participation in reinsurance facilities managed by Duncanson & Holt, facilities managed by non-related companies and direct reinsurance arrangements primarily for accident and health, long term care and special risks. As a member company in reinsurance facilities, UNUM America assumes a share of the insurance risk of the facility. During 1995, Duncanson & Holt Europe Ltd., an affiliate of D&H based in the United Kingdom, was authorized by Lloyd's of London to establish two new Lloyd's Managing Agents and to acquire a third existing Lloyd's Managing Agent. Each manages a syndicate that underwrites primarily personal accident and other "non-marine" classes of business at Lloyd's of London. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Special Risk Insurance Segment" for more information. D. COLONIAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT The Colonial Products segment in 1995 accounted for 12.8% of UNUM's revenues and 23.0% of its income before income taxes. The Colonial Products segment includes Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company ("Colonial") and affiliates. Colonial, the principal subsidiary, markets a broad line of payroll-deducted, voluntary benefits to employees at their worksites, while focusing on accident and sickness, cancer and life products. Colonial's accident policies generally provide benefit payments for disability income, death, dismemberment or major injury. Accident policies are designed to supplement other benefits available through Social Security, workers' compensation, and other insurance plans. Colonial offers a wide range of life insurance products, with universal life and whole life accounting for most of the life insurance sold. Colonial's cancer policies are designed to provide payments for hospitalization and scheduled medical benefits, with the amounts of such payments established by the policies. All of Colonial's insurance policies are issued on a nonparticipating basis. More than 97% of Colonial's premiums for 1995 were derived from policies marketed to employees at their worksites, with premiums in most cases to be collected through payroll deduction. Such policies are issued on a "guaranteed renewable" basis, which means that Colonial cannot refuse to renew any policy, but it does reserve the right on a product-by-product basis to increase premiums for inforce policies. This right to change premiums is or may be subject to various state insurance department rules, regulations, and approvals. 6 Since 1985, Colonial has marketed its accident and health products as qualified fringe benefits that can be purchased with pretax dollars as part of a flexible benefits program pursuant to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. In 1995, premiums from sales to employees participating in such programs accounted for approximately 50% of total premiums. A flexible benefits program assists employers in managing their benefits and compensation packages and provides policyholders with the ability to choose the benefits that best meet their needs. Although Congress might change the tax laws to limit or eliminate fringe benefits available on a pretax basis and such a change could limit or eliminate Colonial's ability to continue marketing its products in this way, Colonial believes its products provide policyholders value, which will remain even if the tax advantages offered by flexible benefit programs are eliminated. Colonial markets its products nationwide primarily through a 5,400-member independent contractor sales force. Approximately 1,300 home office employees provide corporate administration, sales support, internal services and systems, claims processing, policyholder services and employer services. Colonial Companies' subsidiary, BenefitAmerica, Inc. ("BenefitAmerica"), offers employers administrative services for their employee benefit programs. The services offered by BenefitAmerica include administration of flexible spending accounts, which are offered under an employer's flexible benefits plan pursuant to Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as other administrative services to those plans. The services offered by BenefitAmerica complement the services and products offered to employers by Colonial. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Colonial Products Segment" for more information. E. RETIREMENT PRODUCTS SEGMENT The Retirement Products segment accounted for 8.7% of UNUM's revenues and 11.9% of its income before income taxes in 1995. This segment markets and services tax-sheltered annuities ("TSA") in UNUM America and First UNUM. This segment also includes guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs"), deposit administration accounts ("DAs"), 401(k) plans, individual life and group medical insurance, all of which are no longer actively marketed by UNUM. On September 11, 1995, UNUM announced plans to withdraw from the tax sheltered annuity business to focus greater attention on core disability and special risk businesses. On January 24, 1996, UNUM America entered into an agreement for the sale of its group TSA business to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"), a part of Lincoln National Corporation, and to a new New York insurance subsidiary of Lincoln Life. The agreement also contemplates that First UNUM will enter into a similar agreement with Lincoln Life's New York insurance subsidiary. The sale, which is subject to regulatory approvals, involves approximately 1,700 group contractholders and assets under management of approximately $3 billion. The agreement initially contemplates the reinsurance of these contracts under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement. These contracts will then be reinsured pursuant to an assumption reinsurance arrangement upon consent of the TSA contractholders and/or participants. The purchase price (ceding commission) at closing is expected to be approximately $70 million. It is anticipated that it will take several months (perhaps six to nine months) to obtain the necessary approvals and otherwise close the sale. There is no guarantee that the sale will close. TSA products (Section 403(b) plans under the Internal Revenue Code) are marketed to non-profit hospitals and organizations. These contracts offer a fixed fund that provides for annual renewable guarantees of principal and interest. In addition, some TSA contracts offer variable annuity investment alternatives. These investment alternatives are mutual funds offered as subaccounts in a UNUM separate account. The mutual funds, managed by nationally recognized investment managers, include a variety of choices such as growth, balanced and stock index funds. UNUM also offers recordkeeping and reporting services to TSA contractholders. UNUM America and First UNUM market their TSA products through a network of 13 offices in the United States, which distribute these products as well as the group and individual insurance products offered by the Disability Insurance and Special Risk Insurance segments, primarily through brokers. In the fourth quarter of 1991, UNUM announced plans to withdraw from the 401(k) market by the end of 1992. UNUM has transferred 401(k) service responsibilities to its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Preferred Benefits Corporation, which was sold in the second quarter of 1992. UNUM discontinued active marketing of GICs and DAs primarily due to the lack of demand and the level of investment risk. UNUM discontinued new sales of universal life and other individual life policies as of January 1, 1988. UNUM began exiting the group medical product line in 1987 with the discontinuance of new sales on the traditional group medical product. In 1990, management announced its intention to exit the group medical product entirely. Beginning with the February 1991 renewals, policyholders had the option of transferring their group medical product to another insurer. UNUM services commitments to inforce policyholders, which include conversions of group life and group medical insurance. Refer to Item 7 and Item 8 (Note 16) under the caption "Retirement Products Segment" for more information. 7 F. INVESTMENTS Refer to Item 7 under the caption "Investments" for more information. Additional information about UNUM's mortgage loan portfolio is provided below: UNUM management believes that its mortgage loan portfolio is well diversified geographically and among property types.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND REINSURANCE Risk management, which includes product design, pricing, underwriting, reserving and benefits management, involves a determination of the type and amount of risk that an insurer is willing to accept, administration and evaluation of business inforce, and control of claims. UNUM has underwriters organized within business segments who evaluate policy applications on the basis of information provided by the applicant and other sources. UNUM reinsures with other companies portions of the insurance policies it has underwritten. Reinsurance allows UNUM to sell policies with higher benefits than the entire risk that UNUM is willing to assume. UNUM remains liable to the insured for the payment of policy benefits if the reinsurers cannot meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Within the Disability Insurance and Special Risk Insurance segments, UNUM America and First UNUM have underwriters for group disability, individual disability, group life and long term care products. These underwriting functions are aligned geographically with UNUM America and First UNUM's four sales regions. Quotes for prospective customers are based upon UNUM America and First UNUM's experience with profitability and persistency of the respective employer's risk category. The maximum group LTD, group STD, and LTC monthly benefit varies, but the usual maximum monthly amount available is $35,000, $10,000, and $6,000 respectively. For group life insurance products, UNUM retains up to $750,000 per individual life and reinsures the balance with other insurance carriers. In 1994, UNUM America and First UNUM announced the discontinuance of sales of its traditional fixed price, non-cancellable individual disability insurance product in the United States and, during 1995, introduced the new guaranteed renewable individual disability product. As of the end of 1995, this new product has received regulatory approval in most states. UNUM requires medical examinations, financial data, and other information to make a decision on the acceptability of the individual risk and to appropriately classify an applicant for individual disability insurance products. On new sales of the new guaranteed renewable product, UNUM retains up to $8,000 plus 25% of amounts in excess of $8,000 basic monthly indemnity per life for personal disability coverages, $20,000 plus 25% of amounts in excess of $20,000 per life for business overhead expense coverages and $500,000 per life for buy/sell coverages. The financial and medical underwriting areas of UNUM Limited handle the underwriting of group and individual disability policies and group life policies. The maximum yearly benefit for group LTD is 326,000 pounds sterling. UNUM 9 Limited retains 75,000 pounds sterling of this risk and reinsures the balance. The maximum yearly initial benefit for individual disability insurance is 125,000 pounds sterling and amounts over 40,000 pounds sterling per annum are reinsured. On group life business, UNUM Limited retains 60% of the risk up to a maximum of 150,000 pounds sterling per individual life. UNUM (except for Colonial and Commercial Life) reinsures the risk of individual life insurance contracts that exceed $425,000 on any one life. Colonial limits its risk for death and dismemberment benefits to $100,000 per life. Colonial also has reinsurance on its cancer insurance products that provides coverage for claim payments in excess of $50,000 in any one year, per claimant, up to a lifetime maximum of $1 million per claimant. Commercial Life reinsures the risk on its accidental death and dismemberment contracts that exceed $400,000 on any one life. Commercial Life also reinsures the risk on individual, group and franchise life contracts that exceed $250,000 on any one life. In addition to the reinsurance arrangements above, UNUM (except for Colonial, UNUM Limited and Commercial Life) is covered by catastrophe reinsurance, which provides additional protection against aggregate losses in excess of $1 million up to a maximum of $100 million. This protection is activated whenever one event causes the disability and/or death of five or more people covered under UNUM's disability or life contracts. Colonial is covered by catastrophe reinsurance for accidental deaths totaling more than $300,000 from a single disaster, up to a limit of $5 million. UNUM Limited's group disability business is partially covered by catastrophe reinsurance of 3 million pounds sterling for losses from one event involving more than twenty-five lives. Commercial Life is covered by catastrophe reinsurance, which provides additional protection against aggregate losses in excess of $1 million up to a maximum of $54 million for losses involving three or more covered lives. Also, UNUM purchased excess-of-loss reinsurance totaling $60 million over three years through a Lloyd's of London syndicate for the non-cancellable individual disability business of UNUM America and First UNUM. Reinsurance premiums assumed and ceded for the year ended December 31, 1995, were $241.5 million and $66.2 million, respectively. No current or planned reinsurance activity is expected to have a significant impact on the ability of UNUM to underwrite additional insurance. H. RESERVES The reserves reported in the consolidated financial statements of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries have been computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These reserve balances generally differ from those specified by the laws of the various states and those carried in the statutory financial statements. The differences between GAAP and statutory reserves arise from the use of different mortality, morbidity, interest, expense and lapse assumptions. Pursuant to insurance laws of the states of Maine, New York, South Carolina and Wisconsin, the United Kingdom and Japan, UNUM's insurance subsidiaries (UNUM America, First UNUM, Colonial Life, Commercial Life, UNUM Limited and UNUM Japan, respectively) set up statutory reserves, carried as liabilities, to meet obligations on their various policies. These statutory reserves are amounts which, together with premiums to be received and interest on such reserves at assumed rates, are calculated to be sufficient to meet the policy and contract obligations of UNUM's insurance subsidiaries. Pursuant to federal insurance laws of Canada, UNUM America has established regulatory reserves to meet the obligations of policies written in its Canadian branch. Statutory, GAAP and regulatory reserves are based upon UNUM's insurance subsidiaries' experience as adjusted to provide for possible adverse deviations. These estimates are periodically reviewed and compared to actual experience. The assumptions are revised when it is determined that future expected experience differs from the assumed estimates. I. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 1995, UNUM had approximately 6,900 full-time employees. UNUM does not have collective bargaining agreements with employees. J. COMPETITION The principal competitive factors affecting UNUM's business are reputation, financial strength, quality of service, risk management expertise, distribution, product design and price. There is competition among insurance companies for the types of individual and group insurance and retirement products sold by UNUM. At the end of 1995, there were more than 1,800 legal reserve life insurance companies in the United States and Canada and life assurance offices in the United Kingdom, which may offer insurance products similar to those marketed by UNUM. UNUM also competes with banks, investment advisors, mutual funds and other financial entities to provide products and services. All areas of group insurance are highly competitive because of the large number of insurance companies and other entities offering these products. 10 K. REGULATION UNUM's insurance subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision in the jurisdictions in which they do business. Although the extent of such regulation varies, U.S. state, Canadian, United Kingdom and Japanese insurance laws generally establish supervisory agencies, such as state insurance departments, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions ("OSFI"), The Department of Trade and Industry ("DTI") and the Ministry of Finance ("MOF"), respectively, with broad administrative powers. These powers relate chiefly to the granting and revocation of the licenses to transact business, and establishing reserve requirements and the form and content of required financial statements. Such powers also include the licensing of agents in the U.S. and the approval of policy forms in the U.S. and Japan. UNUM's insurance operations and subsidiaries must meet the standards and tests for its investments promulgated by insurance laws and regulations of Maine, New York, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan, as applicable. UNUM's United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries are required to file quarterly and annual statements with the various insurance departments in state jurisdictions in which they do business. These statements comply with the rules of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). UNUM's insurance subsidiaries are examined periodically by examiners of the states of Maine, New York, South Carolina and Wisconsin and of other states (on an "association" or "zone" basis) in which they are licensed to do business. UNUM's insurance branch operation in Canada is periodically examined by Canadian insurance regulatory authorities and is required to file annual reports that comply with the insurance laws of Canada and with the rules of the OSFI of the Canadian Federal government and each of the provinces. UNUM's United Kingdom subsidiary is required to file financial statements annually with the DTI, in accordance with United Kingdom law and regulation. UNUM Japan is required to file financial statements annually with the MOF, in accordance with Japanese laws and regulations. UNUM's insurance subsidiaries operate under insurance laws, which require that they establish and carry, as liabilities, actuarial reserves to meet their obligations on their disability, life, accident and health policies, and annuities. These reserves are verified periodically by various regulators. UNUM's reinsurance underwriting manager, Duncanson & Holt, Inc., ("D&H") is a licensed reinsurance intermediary in New York. It is subject to regulation in New York and other states where it does business. Duncanson & Holt Underwriters, Ltd., a subsidiary of D&H, is a corporate member of Lloyd's of London and is subject to all rules applicable to such members. UNUM Sales Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, is regulated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is the principal underwriter for variable annuity contracts offered by UNUM America and First UNUM. Future operations of UNUM Sales Corporation may be affected by the completion of the TSA sale, as previously discussed in Item 1A and Item 1E, and implementation of the details of the transaction. The laws of the State of Maine require periodic registration and reporting by insurance companies domiciled within its jurisdiction, which control or are controlled by other corporations or persons. This constitutes, by definition, a holding company system. UNUM America is domiciled in Maine and is subject to these laws. New York, which is the domiciliary state of First UNUM; South Carolina, which is the domiciliary state of Colonial Life; and Wisconsin, which is the domiciliary state of Commercial Life, have similar laws. Accordingly, the UNUM insurance subsidiaries are registered as members of the UNUM holding company system in the states of Maine, New York, South Carolina and Wisconsin. The statutes of these states require periodic disclosure concerning the ultimate controlling person and intercorporate transactions within the holding company system, some of which require prior approval. Effective December 31, 1991, UNUM America merged with two of UNUM Corporation's wholly-owned Maine life insurance subsidiaries, UNUM Life Insurance Company ("UNUM Life") and UNUM Pension and Insurance Company ("UPIC"), with UNUM America remaining as the surviving corporation. In connection with the merger of UNUM Life and UPIC into UNUM America, UNUM Life ceased to maintain its licensing status in the State of New York effective December 31, 1991, with all future New York business being transacted by First UNUM. As a condition of New York regulatory approval, UNUM America agreed to maintain a security deposit in the State of New York equal to 102% of outstanding statutory liabilities to New York policyholders, insureds and claimants of UNUM Life. The security deposit consists of certain cash and invested assets. An initial deposit was made in February 1992 and, at December 31, 1995, the required deposit was $845.3 million. UNUM America has the ability to withdraw assets from this account and to substitute other assets at its discretion. The balance of the security deposit will be reviewed and adjusted at least annually based upon the outstanding liabilities described above. In the event of the consummation of the TSA sale, as described in Item 1A and 1E, the balance of the security deposit may be adjusted based on the outstanding liabilities of the TSA business. 11 L. PARTICIPATION FUND ACCOUNT Participating policies issued prior to November 14, 1986, by the former Union Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Union Mutual") will remain participating as long as they remain in force. A Participation Fund Account ("PFA") has been established for the sole benefit of all of Union Mutual's individual participating life and annuity policies and contracts. At December 31, 1995, the PFA had $364.2 million in assets, which were held by UNUM America. UNUM agreed to pay certain expenses associated with the PFA and at December 31, 1995, the reserve for the present value of such expenses was $15.0 million. PFA assets, investment earnings and income from operations are not available to UNUM America or UNUM during the operation or upon the termination of the PFA. In the unlikely event that the assets of the PFA are not adequate to provide for policyholder benefits (exclusive of dividends, which are not guaranteed), UNUM America would be required to provide for any shortfall, and such amounts, if any, would reduce earnings of UNUM America and UNUM. All operating data of the individual participating life and annuity contracts has been excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Income and all other operating data included in this report unless otherwise noted. The assets and liabilities associated with the participating business are included in UNUM's Consolidated Balance Sheets. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES UNUM owns home office property consisting of five office buildings and four service buildings located throughout the Portland, Maine, area. UNUM also owns an office building in the United Kingdom, which is the home office of UNUM Limited. The home office of the Colonial Companies is located in Columbia, South Carolina, and is also owned by UNUM. In addition, UNUM leases, on periods principally from three to six years, office and warehouse space for use by its home office, affiliates, and sales forces. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In the normal course of its business operations, UNUM is involved in litigation from time to time with claimants, beneficiaries and others, and a number of lawsuits were pending at December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated operating results of UNUM. On December 29, 1993, UNUM filed a suit in the United States District Court for the District of Maine, seeking a federal income tax refund. The suit is based on a claim for a deduction in certain prior tax years, for $652 million in cash and stock distributed to policyholders in connection with the 1986 conversion of Union Mutual Life Insurance Company to a stock company. Although UNUM believes its claims are meritorious, the United States is aggressively resisting the claims and the ultimate recovery, if any, cannot be determined at this time. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted to a vote of shareholders, through solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of 1995. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The principal markets in which UNUM's common stock is traded are the New York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange. UNUM's ticker symbol is "UNM." As of December 31, 1995, there were 24,153 shareholders of record of common stock. Information concerning restrictions on the ability of UNUM's subsidiaries to transfer funds to UNUM in the form of cash dividends is described in Item 8 (Note 12). The market price (as quoted by the New York Stock Exchange) and cash dividends paid, per share of UNUM's common stock, by calendar quarter for the past two years were as follows: 1995 1994 ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ 4Q 3Q 2Q 1Q 4Q 3Q 2Q 1Q - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High.................................... $ 56.500 $ 54.000 $ 48.000 $ 46.000 $ 46.875 $ 50.000 $ 56.750 $ 58.000 Low..................................... $ 50.625 $ 45.375 $ 39.875 $ 37.750 $ 35.125 $ 43.000 $ 44.500 $ 48.000 Close................................... $ 55.000 $ 52.750 $ 46.875 $ 45.250 $ 37.750 $ 46.000 $ 44.750 $ 52.750 Dividend Paid........................... $ 0.265 $ 0.265 $ 0.265 $ 0.24 $ 0.24 $ 0.24 $ 0.24 $ 0.20 12 ITEM 6.

When the following significant items, as described below, are excluded: the increased realized investment gains resulting primarily from the sale of the common stock portfolio, the increased reserves resulting from the lowering of certain disability product reserve discount rates, and the increased group long term disability ("group LTD") reserves for incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims, all of which took place in 1995; and the individual disability reserve strengthening recorded in 1994, income before income taxes slightly decreased in 1995. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher benefit ratios at UNUM Limited and in the group LTD and group life businesses, increased interest expense and lower interest spread margins on the tax sheltered annuity business. Partially offsetting these items were increased investment income, a lower benefit ratio in the individual disability line of business and continued expense management. The decrease in income before income taxes in 1994 was primarily due to unfavorable claims experience in the individual disability and group LTD businesses. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS FOR 1995 AND 1994 During second quarter 1995, UNUM sold virtually all of the common stock portfolio of its United States subsidiaries, primarily due to consideration of statutory capital requirements associated with investment in common stocks and to increase future investment income. The sale of the common stock portfolio contributed to significantly higher realized investment gains than in 1994. UNUM reinvested the proceeds from the sale of the common stock portfolio primarily in investment grade fixed income assets, which has decreased the required amount of statutory capital for regulatory purposes and increased investment income. Dependent on capital considerations and market conditions, UNUM may invest in equity securities in the future. Reserves for certain disability products are discounted using an interest rate which is a composite yield of assets matched with each product. As a result of the sale of the common stock portfolio, which had partially supported these disability reserves, and the subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds primarily in investment grade fixed income assets at yields below the average portfolio yield, certain reserve discount rates were lowered during second quarter 1995. The effect of lowering these discount rates was an increase to the reserve liabilities and benefits to policyholders reported in the Disability Insurance segment of $128.6 million and a decrease in net income of $83.6 million, or $1.15 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1995. The discount rate used to determine the group LTD reserves was reduced to 8.00% at June 30, 1995, as compared with 9.18% at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995, the group LTD discount rate was 7.94%. Management expects the reserve discount rate for certain disability products will further decline, since current cash flows are invested in high quality assets at current yields, which are below the composite yield of the existing assets purchased in prior years. UNUM periodically adjusts prices on both existing and new business in an effort to mitigate the impact of the current interest rate environment. During 1995, UNUM increased the group LTD reserves for IBNR claims by $38.4 million, which decreased net income by $25.0 million, or $0.34 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1995. IBNR reserves, which are established to fund anticipated case reserves for claims that have been incurred but not reported to UNUM, are actuarially established based on various factors, including incidence levels and claims severity. The increased IBNR reserves were based on management's judgment that claims currently incurred but not yet reported will reflect increased levels of claims incidence and severity. It is not possible to predict whether future incidence levels or claims severity will be consistent with UNUM's assumptions, or will improve or deteriorate. Throughout 1994, UNUM's individual disability business experienced a higher incidence of new claims and a disproportionate number of large claims, which management attributed to certain geographic and occupational segments of the business, particularly physicians. During the third quarter of 1994, management concluded that the deterioration of claims experience was not a temporary fluctuation in certain segments of the business, but was indicative of expected claim trends for the future. As a result, in third quarter 1994, UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and strengthened reserves for estimated future losses by $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflected management's expectations of morbidity trends for the existing non-cancellable individual disability business. This reserve strengthening resulted in an increase to benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statement of Income of $192.4 million and a decrease to net income of $125.1 million, or $1.69 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1994. It is not possible to predict whether morbidity trends will be consistent with UNUM's assumptions; however, as of December 31, 1995, management believes that the strengthened reserve levels continue to be adequate. 17 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 24, 1996, UNUM America entered into an agreement for the sale of its group tax-sheltered annuity ("TSA") business to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"), a part of Lincoln National Corporation, and to a new New York insurance subsidiary of Lincoln Life. The agreement also contemplates that First UNUM will enter into a similar agreement with Lincoln Life's New York insurance subsidiary. The sale, which is subject to regulatory approvals, involves approximately 1,700 group contractholders and assets under management of approximately $3 billion. The agreement initially contemplates the reinsurance of these contracts under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement. These contracts will then be reinsured pursuant to an assumption reinsurance arrangement upon consent of the TSA contractholders and/or participants. The purchase price (ceding commission) at closing is expected to be approximately $70 million. It is anticipated that it will take several months (perhaps six to nine months) to obtain the necessary approvals and otherwise close the sale. There is no guarantee that the sale will close. Including the expected purchase price of approximately $70 million, management expects to generate approximately $160 million of statutory capital from this transaction. Plans for the use of this capital may include repaying debt, investing in new and existing businesses and stock repurchase. On February 7, 1996, UNUM announced plans to merge its Commercial Life Insurance Company affiliate into UNUM America to accelerate growth of its special risk business, increase its commitment to the association group business and to improve operating and capital efficiencies. The merger will be effective December 31, 1996, subject to regulatory approvals. During 1996, UNUM expects to incur costs of approximately $7 million related to the merger and anticipates annual savings of a similar amount following the merger due to reductions in operating costs. ACCOUNTING CHANGES Effective January 1, 1995, UNUM adopted FAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and FAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," which defined the principles to measure and record a loan when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The adoption of FAS 114 and FAS 118 did not have a material effect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. Effective January 1, 1994, UNUM adopted FAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specified the accounting and reporting for certain investments in equity securities and for all investments in debt securities. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, UNUM increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities included in stockholders' equity on January 1, 1994, by $41.8 million (net of deferred taxes of $22.5 million) to reflect the unrealized holding gains on fixed maturities classified as available for sale that were previously carried at amortized cost. In accordance with FAS 115, prior year consolidated financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle. The adoption of FAS 115 did not affect 1994 net income. Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted FAS 106, which changed the method for recognition of the cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions from a cash basis to an accrual basis over the years in which employees render the related services. UNUM elected to recognize the FAS 106 liability at January 1, 1993, of $48.8 million as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which decreased net income by $32.1 million, or $0.40 per share, in 1993. Also effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted FAS 109, which changed the method for calculating and reporting deferred income taxes in the financial statements from the deferred method to the liability method. The cumulative effect of this accounting change amounted to a $20.0 million increase, or $0.25 per share, in 1993 net income. INCOME TAXES Effective tax rates, which reflect income tax expense as a percentage of pretax income, were 26.4%, 22.1% and 32.2% for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for 1995 was primarily due to increased pretax earnings, as compared with 1994. Reported income tax expense was below the federal statutory tax rate of 35% for 1995, 1994 and 1993, primarily due to tax savings from investments in tax-exempt securities. Management anticipates the effective tax rate for 1996 will be higher than 1995, primarily related to reduced levels of tax-exempt income. Although investments in tax-exempt securities result in increased consolidated net income, these investments reduce UNUM's business segments' income before income taxes. On August 10, 1993, legislation was enacted to increase the federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to 35%, retroactive to January 1, 1993. The change in tax rates resulted in a $7.8 million, or $0.10 per share, charge related to the adjustment of deferred tax liabilities. Excluding the adjustment to deferred income tax expense of $7.8 million for the enacted tax rate change, the 1993 effective tax rate would have been 30.5%. 18 DISABILITY INSURANCE SEGMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS AND PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE) OVER PRIOR YEAR) 1995 1994 1993 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues Premiums Group LTD........................................ $1,088.6 14.0% $ 955.0 2.3% $ 933.4 UNUM Limited..................................... 125.2 (11.2) 141.0 79.4 78.6 Individual disability............................ 357.6 3.1 346.8 11.2 312.0 Group STD........................................ 132.9 23.5 107.6 19.8 89.8 Other disability insurance....................... 151.0 5.2 143.5 25.7 114.2 -------- ----- -------- ----- ---------- Total premiums................................. 1,855.3 9.5 1,693.9 10.9 1,528.0 Investment income.................................... 408.2 14.0 358.2 6.5 336.4 Net realized investment gains........................ 184.7 nm 42.1 26.0 33.4 Fees and other income................................ 24.6 10.3 22.3 12.1 19.9 -------- ----- -------- ----- ---------- Total revenues................................. 2,472.8 16.8 2,116.5 10.4 1,917.7 Benefits and expenses Benefits to policyholders.......................... 1,711.2 8.8 1,572.1 37.3 1,144.9 Operating expenses................................. 421.3 1.5 415.0 7.7 385.4 Commissions........................................ 193.5 (0.9) 195.3 11.3 175.4 Increase in deferred policy acquisition costs......

The products included in this segment are group LTD, individual disability, group short term disability ("group STD"), association group disability, disability reinsurance and long term care insurance. SUMMARY The Disability Insurance segment reported slightly decreased income before income taxes in 1995, as compared with 1994, when the following items, as described below, are excluded: the increased realized investment gains resulting primarily from the sale of the common stock portfolio, the increased reserves resulting from the lowering of certain disability product reserve discount rates, the increased group LTD reserves for IBNR claims, and the increased reserves for unpaid claims related to the association group disability business, all of which took place in 1995; and the individual disability reserve strengthening and the related restructuring charge, recorded in 1994. This decrease was primarily attributable to a higher benefit ratio at UNUM Limited and in group LTD, and the inclusion of the results of UNUM 19 Japan's operations in the Disability Insurance segment effective January 1, 1995. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased investment income, a lower benefit ratio in the individual disability business, and continued expense management. During 1995, UNUM sold virtually all of the common stock portfolio of its United States subsidiaries, primarily due to consideration of statutory capital requirements associated with investment in common stocks and to increase future investment income. The sale of the common stock portfolio contributed to significantly higher realized investment gains in 1995 for the Disability Insurance segment. UNUM reinvested the proceeds from the sale of the common stock portfolio primarily in investment grade fixed income assets, which has decreased the required amount of statutory capital for regulatory purposes and increased investment income. Dependent on capital considerations and market conditions, UNUM may invest in equity securities in the future. Reserves for certain disability products are discounted using an interest rate that is a composite yield of assets matched with each product. The sale of the common stock portfolio, which partially supported these disability reserves, and the subsequent reinvestment of the proceeds primarily in investment grade fixed income assets with yields below the average portfolio yield, resulted in lower reserve discount rates. The result of lowering these discount rates was an increase to the reserve liabilities and benefits to policyholders of $128.6 million, reported in the second quarter of 1995. The discount rate used to determine the group LTD reserves was reduced to 8.00% at June 30, 1995, as compared with 9.18% at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995, the group LTD discount rate was 7.94%. Increased investment income in the Disability Insurance segment for 1995 was primarily a result of the reinvestment of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock portfolio into investment grade fixed income assets. This increase in investment income was partially offset by the effects of lower discount rates for certain disability products. Management expects the reserve discount rate for certain disability products will further decline, since current cash flows are invested in high quality assets at current yields, which are below the composite yield of the existing assets purchased in prior years. UNUM periodically adjusts prices on both existing and new business in an effort to mitigate the impact of the current interest rate environment. During 1995, UNUM increased the group LTD reserves for IBNR claims by $38.4 million. IBNR reserves, which are established to fund anticipated case reserves for claims that have been incurred but not reported to UNUM, are actuarially established based on various factors, including incidence levels and claims severity. The increased IBNR reserves were based on management's judgment that claims currently incurred but not yet reported will reflect increased levels of claims incidence and severity. It is not possible to predict whether future incidence levels or claims severity will be consistent with UNUM's assumptions, or will improve or deteriorate. During the fourth quarter of 1995, UNUM increased reserves for unpaid claims related to the association group disability business by $15.0 million, which decreased net income by $9.8 million, or $0.14 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1995. These increased reserves reflect management's expectations of slower than expected claim recoveries. In 1995, the association group line of business has been negatively affected by unfavorable claims experience, which management has attributed to certain geographical and occupational segments, particularly dentists and physicians. Management is taking pricing actions and strengthening underwriting standards to address this claims experience. Throughout 1994, UNUM's individual disability business experienced a higher incidence of new claims and a disproportionate number of large claims, which management attributed to certain geographic and occupational segments of the business, particularly physicians. During the third quarter of 1994, management concluded that the deterioration of claims experience was not a temporary fluctuation in certain segments of the business, but was indicative of expected claim trends for the future. As a result, in third quarter 1994, UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and strengthened reserves for estimated future losses by $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflected management's expectations of morbidity trends for the existing non-cancellable individual disability business. It is not possible to predict whether morbidity trends will be consistent with UNUM's assumptions; however, as of December 31, 1995, management believes that the strengthened reserve levels continue to be adequate. In the fourth quarter of 1994, UNUM recorded a pretax charge of $14.4 million related to the decision to discontinue the individual disability non-cancellable product and the acceleration of organizational changes within UNUM America, which increased operating expenses and decreased net income by $9.4 million, or $0.13 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1994. The charge consisted of $9.2 million for severance costs for approximately 150 field and 250 home office employees and $5.2 million for exit costs of certain leased facilities and equipment. 20 Reserves for unpaid claims are estimates based on UNUM's historical experience and other actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends, risk management programs and renewal actions. Many factors affect actuarial calculations of claim reserves, including but not limited to interest rates and current and anticipated incidence rates, recovery rates, and economic and societal conditions. Reserve estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated with any resulting adjustments to reserves reflected in current operating results. Given the complexity of the reserving process, the ultimate liability may be more or less than such estimates indicate. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, claim block acquisitions generated one-time premium in the Disability Insurance segment of $63.8 million, $8.6 million and $58.3 million, respectively, for group LTD; $4.3 million and $15.0 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively, for long term care; and $25.8 million in 1994 for UNUM Limited. Management intends to pursue additional claim block acquisitions in the future. The ratio of operating expenses to premiums was 22.7%, 24.5% and 25.2% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decreases in 1995 and 1994 were primarily attributable to continued efforts to manage expenses and increased premium from 1995 claim block acquisitions, which do not have proportionally higher expenses. Deferrals of policy acquisition costs decreased in 1995 primarily due to lower levels of individual disability sales. The increase in deferred policy acquisition costs in 1994 was primarily attributable to deferrals of higher marketing costs associated with increased sales and renewal activity. Excluding the individual disability reserve strengthening and the related restructuring charge, income before income taxes decreased in 1994, as compared with 1993. This decrease was primarily attributable to a higher benefit ratio in individual disability and in group LTD, partially offset by continued expense management. GROUP LONG TERM DISABILITY The group LTD premium growth in 1995 and 1994 reflected annualized premium from new sales, selected price increases and acquisitions of closed blocks of claims. Group LTD sales decreased in 1995, which management attributed to significant price increases in certain segments of the business. Rate increases to address unfavorable experience on selected segments of the inforce business also contributed to the decline in persistency rates for 1995 and 1994. In general, case terminations from rate increases have occurred in less profitable segments of the business. Management expects to continue to seek inforce case rate increases, as appropriate, given claims experience, to improve profitability. However, such rate actions may increase case terminations and decrease the persistency rate of the group LTD business. During 1995 and 1994, management implemented and strengthened various risk management programs to address the unfavorable claims experience in group LTD. In addition to the selected price increases on new and inforce business, more stringent underwriting practices, and the reduction of benefit options for certain segments of the business, management established special claims units for both its group LTD and individual disability businesses to address specific aspects of disability claims, including complex and fraudulent claims. Additionally, management implemented new group LTD contract provisions that provide risk management features and claimant rehabilitation incentives. Management continually reviews the benefits management process to identify and strengthen risk management policies and procedures. During 1995, group LTD's benefit ratio increased slightly after excluding the effects of lowering the group LTD discount rate as a result of the sale of the common stock portfolio in the second quarter of 1995 and of increasing the group LTD reserves for IBNR claims. This increase was primarily attributable to increased claims severity. However, the effect of the increase in claims severity was partially offset by continued improvements in claim incidence rates and claim recoveries, which management attributes to risk management programs. Management continues to address the unfavorable claim trends in group LTD by periodically adjusting prices on selected new and inforce business, implementing more stringent underwriting guidelines and strengthening risk management programs. Management believes these actions have strengthened UNUM's ability to deal with these claim trends and the current interest rate environment. The level of earnings of the group LTD product will be a function of various factors, including but not limited to, the effectiveness of these continuing actions over time. UNUM LIMITED During 1995, UNUM Limited's group long term disability business continued to be adversely affected by unfavorable claims experience, which began to emerge in late 1994. UNUM Limited has experienced a higher incidence of new claims and a disproportionate number of large claims in 1995, as compared with 1994, which management has attributed to certain segments of the business, particularly lawyers and accountants. To address the current claims environment, management has increased prices on those segments of the business that have experienced a higher incidence of new 21 claims, implemented more stringent underwriting standards and strengthened risk management programs. The level of earnings for UNUM Limited will be a function of various factors, including but not limited to, the effectiveness of these actions over time. Due to the relative size of the U.K. block of business, UNUM Limited's operating results can exhibit claims variability. During 1995, the U.S. dollar weakened slightly against the British pound sterling, increasing UNUM Limited's earnings as reported in U.S. dollars. The weighted average exchange rate was approximately $1.58, $1.53 and $1.51 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. At December 31, 1995, the spot rate had decreased to $1.55. INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY During 1995, the growth in individual disability's premium slowed as a result of management's decision in late 1994 to discontinue selling the non-cancellable individual disability insurance product in the United States and to transition to the new guaranteed renewable Lifelong Disability Protection product, which was introduced during the second quarter of 1995. Sales of the traditional, fixed price, non-cancellable individual disability product are being discontinued in each state following regulatory approval of the new product. As of the end of 1995, the new product has been approved for sale in most states. Throughout 1994, UNUM's individual disability business experienced a higher incidence of new claims and a disproportionate number of large claims, which management attributed to certain geographic and occupational segments of the business, particularly physicians. Management believes that changes in and consolidation of the health care delivery system in the United States and the increased prevalence of emerging and often subjective types of disabilities contributed to increased benefit costs. Unlike the group long term disability product, management has limited ability to manage the claims risk associated with non-cancellable individual disability business, since UNUM is contractually unable to reprice or cancel inforce policies that became unprofitable because of changes in claims experience that were unforeseen when the policy was sold. During the third quarter of 1994, management concluded that the deterioration of claims experience was not a temporary fluctuation in certain segments of the business, but was indicative of expected claim trends for the future. As a result, in third quarter 1994, UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and strengthened reserves for estimated future losses by $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflected management's expectations of morbidity trends for the existing non-cancellable individual disability business. It is not possible to predict whether morbidity trends will be consistent with UNUM's assumptions; however, as of December 31, 1995, management believes that the strengthened reserve levels continue to be adequate. The individual disability business experienced a lower benefit ratio in 1995, as compared with 1994, after excluding the effects of increased reserves resulting from lowering the individual disability reserve discount rate in second quarter 1995 and the reserve strengthening recorded in 1994. The lower benefit ratio was primarily due to lower new claims incidence rates for physicians in 1995; however, such claims incidence rates can exhibit variability. During 1995, lower expenses, partially offset by reduced deferrals of policy acquisition costs resulting from lower individual disability sales in 1995, also contributed to the improved results of the individual disability business. During the fourth quarter of 1994, excess-of-loss reinsurance totaling $60 million over three years was purchased through a Lloyd's of London syndicate to cover UNUM's exposure to claims exceeding levels assumed in the strengthened reserves. Management continues to evaluate its financial options for this business, including reinsurance opportunities. GROUP SHORT TERM DISABILITY Group STD's contribution to the Disability Insurance segment's income before income taxes increased significantly in 1995 and 1994. These increases were primarily attributable to group STD's strong premium growth and continued risk and expense management. The record sales reported in 1995 reflected management's continuing efforts to cross-sell the group STD products with the group LTD business. 22 SPECIAL RISK INSURANCE SEGMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS AND PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE) OVER PRIOR YEAR) 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues Premiums Group life insurance............................. $355.1 13.7% $312.3 14.8% $272.0 Other special risk products...................... 307.5 22.6 250.8 5.4 237.9 ------ ------ ------ ----- ------ Total premiums................................. 662.6 17.7 563.1 10.4 509.9 Investment income.................................... 44.0 8.6 40.5 18.4 34.2 Net realized investment gains........................ 4.4 nm 0.2 (66.7) 0.6 Fees and other income................................ 39.7 (9.8) 44.0 (11.1) 49.5 ------ ------ ------ ----- ------ Total revenues................................. 750.7 15.9 647.8 9.0 594.2 Benefits and expenses Benefits to policyholders.......................... 492.3 24.8 394.4 7.8 366.0 Operating expenses................................. 153.1 4.8 146.1 (6.2) 155.7 Commissions........................................ 60.9 11.7 54.5 9.2 49.9 Increase in deferred policy acquisition costs......

The segment also includes non- disability reinsurance operations, which represent UNUM's participation in various reinsurance pools, and the reinsurance underwriting management operations of Duncanson & Holt, Inc. Increased sales and selected price increases on new and inforce cases contributed to the group life premium growth of 13.7%. Rate increases to address unfavorable experience on certain segments of the inforce business contributed to the decline in group life persistency rates for 1995 and 1994. Management expects to continue to seek inforce case rate increases, as appropriate, to improve profitability. Premium growth in 1995 for other special risk products was primarily attributable to reinsurance operations, which had claim block acquisitions totaling $39.1 million and increased pool participation. The decrease in income before income taxes for 1995, as compared with 1994, was primarily attributable to increased claims in the group life and special risk accident insurance businesses, combined with reduced fee income from the reinsurance underwriting management operations. Partially offsetting these decreases were continued premium growth, increased realized investment gains from the sale of the common stock portfolio and favorable claims experience in certain reinsurance pools. Due to the nature of the risks underwritten and the relative size of the blocks of businesses, several of the Special Risk Insurance segment's products can exhibit claims variability. The Special Risk Insurance segment's income before income taxes increased in 1994, primarily due to favorable claims experience in the group life business and in special risk accident insurance, combined with premium growth and expense management. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced fee income from the reinsurance underwriting management operations and unfavorable claims experience in certain reinsurance pools. 23 COLONIAL PRODUCTS SEGMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS AND PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE) OVER PRIOR YEAR) 1995 1994 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues Premiums........................................... $472.7 7.7% $439.1 8.7% $403.9 Investment income.................................. 41.3 33.7 30.9 3.7 29.8 Net realized investment gains...................... 10.9 nm 1.7 (85.3) 11.6 Fees and other income.............................. 2.4 9.1 2.2 (37.1) 3.5 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total revenues................................... 527.3 11.3 473.9 5.6 448.8 Benefits and expenses Benefits to policyholders.......................... 235.1 6.3 221.1 6.6 207.5 Interest credited.................................. 6.5 30.0 5.0 19.0 4.2 Operating expenses................................. 114.7 7.1 107.1 13.7 94.2 Commissions........................................ 108.9 12.6 96.7 4.3 92.7 Increase in deferred policy acquisition costs......

During 1995, Colonial experienced improved sales growth as compared with 1994. These improved sales levels were attributed to increased productivity and the offering of a number of new products. During 1995, Colonial made further investments to automate policy enrollment for new sales and to realign the sales organization. These investments reflect management's continued focus on strategies to improve sales through increasing productivity, enhancing effectiveness, and differentiating Colonial in the marketplace. Premium growth slowed slightly again in 1995, reflecting the effects of weaker sales growth during 1994 and 1993; however, management believes that the record sales levels experienced during 1995, combined with the continuation of customer conservation programs and investments being made in the sales organization, will have a positive effect on future premium growth. Investment income increased during 1995, primarily because of increased cash flows and additional income realized from the reinvestment of the proceeds from the second quarter 1995 sale of Colonial's equity portfolio into investment grade fixed income assets. The sale of the equity portfolio also contributed to the higher level of realized investment gains during the year. Realized investment gains for 1993 include gains associated with Colonial's sales of higher yielding but callable investments to realign its investment portfolio with UNUM's investment philosophy. Colonial's benefit ratio improved again in 1995 to 49.7%, as compared with 50.4% in 1994 and 51.4% in 1993. The lower benefit ratio was driven by continued favorable claims experience and improved incidence rates across most product lines. The expense ratio remained virtually unchanged for 1995 reflecting management's continued investment in the sales organization, offset by continued efforts to control expenditures and improved operating effectiveness. During 1994, the expense ratio increased because of higher than expected costs associated with sales organization realignment and litigation expenses, which were partially offset by continued expense control efforts. Colonial's income before income taxes increased in 1995, primarily because of increased investment income, higher realized investment gains and an improved benefit ratio. For 1994, income before income taxes decreased primarily because of reduced realized investment gains and increased expenses, partially offset by favorable claims experience. 24 RETIREMENT PRODUCTS SEGMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS AND PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE) OVER PRIOR YEAR) 1995 1994 1993 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues Premiums........................................... $ 27.6 9.5% $ 25.2 (22.0)% $ 32.3 Investment income.................................. 298.9 (11.0) 335.8 (12.6) 384.3 Net realized investment gains...................... 24.8 nm 2.2 (33.3) 3.3 Fees and other income.............................. 6.5 4.8 6.2 (39.2) 10.2 -------- ----- -------- ----- -------- Total revenues................................... 357.8 (3.1) 369.4 (14.1) 430.1 Benefits and expenses Benefits to policyholders.......................... 54.4 5.8 51.4 (10.3) 57.3 Interest credited.................................. 220.9 (7.1) 237.7 (14.1) 276.8 Operating expenses................................. 33.4 10.6 30.2 3.8 29.1 Commissions........................................ 6.6 (29.8) 9.4 6.8 8.8 (Increase) decrease in deferred policy acquisition costs.............................................

As previously discussed in the Consolidated Overview, UNUM America entered into an agreement for the sale of its group TSA business to Lincoln Life, a part of Lincoln National Corporation, and to a new New York insurance subsidiary of Lincoln Life. The agreement also contemplates that First UNUM will enter into a similar agreement with Lincoln Life's New York insurance subsidiary. The group TSA business of UNUM America and First UNUM accounted for approximately $34 million of the Retirement Products segment's income before income taxes in 1995, 1994 and 1993. During 1995 and 1994, investment income declined primarily due to investments in lower yielding tax-exempt securities, a reduced average investment yield caused by the low interest rate environment, and a reduced invested asset base under management for GICs, DAs and 401(k) plans. To facilitate the expected sale of the TSA business later in 1996, management expects to primarily liquidate fixed maturities and accumulate cash and short-term investments, which will further reduce investment yields earned on TSA assets during 1996. During 1994, UNUM implemented an investment strategy to increase investments in tax-exempt securities. Although investments in tax-exempt securities resulted in increased consolidated net income, these investments reduced the Retirement Products segment's income before income taxes by $7.6 million and $6.7 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1995, primarily due to market conditions, UNUM ceased the purchase of tax-exempt securities and sold the majority of tax-exempt securities held by the TSA business. Since 1993, UNUM has offered the holders of certain types of TSA contracts the opportunity to modify their contracts. The proposed contract amendments provide for UNUM to increase the minimum guaranteed credited interest rates in return for contractholders relinquishing the right to make lump-sum withdrawals without an associated fee. As expected, certain contract holders elected to withdraw their funds rather than convert to the modified contract provisions, which has affected the overall growth of invested assets under management. During 1995, interest spread margins declined, as compared with the unusually favorable levels experienced during 1994 and 1993. As interest rates declined in 1993, the rate and level of interest credited to TSA contractholders declined as well. Despite a rising interest rate environment in 1994, the level of interest credited to TSA contractholders continued to 25 decline. As a result, the TSA business experienced unusually favorable interest spread margins during those years. Management expects the lower interest spread margins in 1995 on TSAs to continue, which may reduce future earnings of the Retirement Products segment. The reduced asset base under management for GICs, DAs and 401(k) plans has also resulted in lower revenues from investment income and reduced amounts of interest credited. Management expects continued decreases in the amounts of investment income and interest credited as the related GICs, DAs and 401(k) contracts mature or terminate. Management expects future earnings for these closed blocks of businesses to decline, reflecting their run-off nature. Income before income taxes increased in 1995, as compared with 1994, primarily due to increased realized investment gains from the sale of UNUM's equity portfolio during the second quarter of 1995, partially offset by lower interest spread margins on TSAs. For 1994, the decrease in income before income taxes was primarily attributable to the declining income levels of the closed blocks of businesses. CORPORATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------- Loss before income taxes......... $(28.6) $(28.2) $(17.4) Corporate includes transactions that are generally non-insurance related. The increased loss before income taxes in 1995 was primarily attributable to increased interest expense on corporate borrowings, partially offset by reduced operating expenses. The increased loss before income taxes in 1994 was primarily due to increased interest expense and increased operating expenses related to UNUM's investment in Japan. Effective January 1, 1995, the operations of UNUM Japan are reported in the Disability Insurance segment. Costs related to UNUM's investment in Japan prior to January 1, 1995, are reported as operating expenses in Corporate. BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES Charges of $8.4 million and $14.4 million were recorded in 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to the acceleration of organizational changes within UNUM America and the decision to discontinue the individual disability non-cancellable product. Partially offsetting the charge recorded in 1995 was a $3.4 million curtailment gain, related to workforce reductions in UNUM Corporation's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan. Of the total $22.8 million charge, UNUM paid $15.9 million during 1995, which represented severance costs of $13.3 million for 373 of the 379 individuals included in the charges and $2.6 million of lease costs. The remaining $6.9 million includes $0.4 million of severance costs and $6.5 million of lease costs, the total of which is expected to be paid as follows: $3.4 million in 1996, $3.2 million in 1997, and $0.3 million in 1998. INVESTMENTS UNUM's investment portfolio is concentrated in investment grade bonds. UNUM evaluates total expected return after consideration of all associated expenses and losses, within criteria established for each product line. Product line investment strategies are developed to complement business risks by meeting the liquidity and solvency requirements of each product. UNUM purchases assets with maturities, expected cash flows and prepayment conditions that are consistent with these strategies. The nature and quality of the types of investments comply with policies established by management, which are more stringent overall than the statutes and regulations imposed by the jurisdictions in which UNUM's insurance subsidiaries are licensed. UNUM's investments are reported in the consolidated financial statements at net realizable value or net of any applicable allowances for probable losses. Allowances for mortgages and real estate held for sale are established based on a review of specific assets as well as the overall portfolio, considering the carrying value of the underlying assets. If a decline in market value is considered to be other than temporary, the investment is reduced to estimated net realizable value and the reduction is recorded as a realized investment loss. UNUM discontinues the accrual of investment income on invested assets when it is determined that collectability is doubtful. Management monitors the risk associated with the invested asset portfolio and regularly reviews and adjusts the allowance for probable losses. During the second quarter of 1995, UNUM sold virtually all of the common stock portfolio of its United States subsidiaries, primarily due to consideration of statutory capital requirements associated with investment in common stocks and to increase future investment income. UNUM has reinvested the proceeds from the sale of the common stock portfolio primarily in investment grade fixed income assets. Dependent on capital considerations and market conditions, UNUM may invest in equity securities in the future. 26 At December 31, 1995, the composition of UNUM's $11.7 billion of invested assets was 78.1% fixed maturities, 10.0% mortgage loans, 1.9% real estate, 0.2% equity securities, and 9.8% other invested assets. To facilitate the expected sale of the TSA business later in 1996, management expects to primarily liquidate fixed maturities and accumulate cash and short-term investments. Gross realized investment gains were $287.0 million, $117.0 million, and $85.2 million, and gross realized investment losses were $61.9 million, $71.4 million, and $35.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. FIXED MATURITIES Effective January 1, 1994, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specified the accounting and reporting for certain investments in equity securities and for all investments in debt securities. UNUM adopted the provisions for FAS 115 for these investments held or acquired after January 1, 1994. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, UNUM increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities included in stockholders' equity on January 1, 1994, by $41.8 million (net of deferred taxes of $22.5 million) to reflect the unrealized holding gains on fixed maturities classified as available for sale which were previously carried at amortized cost. In addition, UNUM reclassified certain fixed maturities from held to maturity to available for sale on January 1, 1994, in connection with the adoption of FAS 115. In November 1995, the FASB issued "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which provided a one-time opportunity to reassess the appropriateness of the classifications of securities described in FAS 115, and to reclassify fixed maturities from the held to maturity category without calling into question the intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. On December 31, 1995, UNUM reassessed its fixed maturity portfolio and as allowed under the implementation guidance, reclassified fixed maturities with an amortized cost of $6,082.8 million and a related net unrealized gain of $393.0 million from the held to maturity category to available for sale. In connection with the reclassification of the held to maturity fixed maturities to available for sale, on December 31, 1995, UNUM adjusted its unpaid claims by $261.2 million to reflect the changes that would have been necessary if the unrealized gains and losses related to fixed maturities classified as available for sale had been realized. At December 31, 1995, the fixed maturity portfolio included $139.4 million of below investment grade bonds (below "Baa") recorded at fair value, which represented 1.5% of the fixed maturity portfolio, and had an associated amortized cost of $133.8 million. At December 31, 1994, the carrying value of below investment grade bonds included in the fixed maturity portfolio was $193.8 million, which represented 2.5% of the fixed maturity portfolio, and had an associated market value of $193.4 million. Virtually all of the nonconvertible, below investment grade bonds were purchased at investment grade, but were subsequently downgraded. UNUM's investment policy is to invest primarily in fixed maturities of investment grade quality. Selected purchases of convertible subordinated debentures, which UNUM considered to be part of its investment strategy for equity securities, have contributed to the amount of below investment grade bonds. Fixed maturity ratings are obtained from external rating agencies, and if not externally rated, are rated by UNUM internally using similar methods. Management does not expect any risks or uncertainties associated with below investment grade bonds to have a significant affect on UNUM's consolidated financial position or results of operations. UNUM had no fixed maturities delinquent 60 days or more at December 31, 1995. The percentage of fixed maturities delinquent 60 days or more, compared to total fixed maturities, was 0.25% at December 31, 1994. During 1995, UNUM sold fixed maturities of two issuers classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $4.0 million, and realized a net loss of $1.2 million on the sales. The bonds were sold due to significant deterioration of the issuers' creditworthiness, as evidenced by bankruptcy filings. During 1994, UNUM sold fixed maturities of five issuers classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $49.8 million due to evidence of significant deterioration of the issuers' creditworthiness. These sales resulted in a net realized loss of $3.0 million. MORTGAGES At December 31, 1995, and 1994, UNUM's mortgage loans were $1,163.4 million and $1,216.3 million, respectively. Management establishes allowances for mortgage loans based upon a review of individual loans and the overall loan portfolio, considering the value of the underlying collateral. UNUM uses a comprehensive rating system to evaluate the investment and credit risk of each mortgage loan and to target specific properties for inspection and reevaluation. The percentage of mortgage loans delinquent 60 days or more on a contract delinquency basis was 0.2% and 1.8% at December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. 27 Management believes that its mortgage loan portfolio is well diversified geographically and among property types. UNUM's incidence of new problem mortgage loans has continued to decline in 1995, as overall economic activity improved modestly, and many of the real estate markets in which UNUM has mortgage loans stabilized. Management expects a modest level of additional delinquencies and problem loans in the future. Management believes the allowance provided on mortgage loans as of December 31, 1995, is adequate to cover probable losses. Effective January 1, 1995, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and FAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," which defined the principles to measure and record a loan when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The adoption of FAS 114 and FAS 118 did not have a material affect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. In general, impaired loans as defined by FAS 114 compare with loans previously defined and disclosed as problem and potential problem loans. Problem loans were defined as loans that were delinquent 60 days or more on a contract delinquency basis. Potential problem loans were defined as current and performing loans with which management had some concerns about the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan terms and whose book value exceeded the market value of the underlying collateral. At December 31, 1995, impaired loans totaled $50.1 million, as compared with $58.5 million of problem and potential problem loans at December 31, 1994. Included in the $50.1 million of impaired loans was $38.4 million of loans which had a related allowance for probable losses of $7.1 million, and $11.7 million of loans which had no related allowance for probable losses. Interest lost on impaired loans in 1995, and problem and potential problem loans in 1994 and 1993, was not material. Mortgage loans that were restructured prior to the adoption of FAS 114, are defined by UNUM as loans whose terms have been modified to interest rates less than market at the time of restructure and are currently expected to perform pursuant to such modified terms. UNUM modifies loans to protect its investment and only when it is anticipated that the borrower will be able to meet the modified terms. As of December 31, 1995, restructured mortgage loans totaled $59.9 million, as compared with $73.6 million at December 31, 1994. Interest lost on restructured loans was not material in 1995, 1994 or 1993. Realized investment losses related to impaired mortgage loans in 1995 amounted to $9.2 million, compared with realized investment losses related to restructured and problem mortgage loans of $8.5 million and $4.8 million for 1994 and 1993, respectively. Impaired mortgage loans as of December 31, 1995, are not expected to have a significant impact on UNUM's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. REAL ESTATE At December 31, 1995, investment real estate amounted to $222.2 million compared with $190.8 million at December 31, 1994. UNUM purchases investment real estate in selected markets when certain investment criteria are met. Investment real estate is intended to be held long-term and is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Occasionally, investment real estate is reclassified and revalued as real estate held for sale when it no longer meets UNUM's investment criteria. At December 31, 1995, real estate held for sale amounted to $35.5 million compared with $31.0 million at December 31, 1994. Real estate acquired through foreclosure is valued at fair value at the date of foreclosure. Real estate held for sale is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is valued net of an allowance which reduces the carrying value to the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell, or cost. Additions to the allowance for probable losses related to real estate held for sale resulted in realized investment losses of $6.3 million, $0.8 million and $18.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Additions to the allowance represent charges to net realized investment gains less recoveries. Given the current real estate environment, additional foreclosures are anticipated, but at a reduced level from the early 1990s. Current and anticipated real estate acquired through foreclosure is not expected to have a significant affect on UNUM's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES UNUM's businesses produce positive cash flows, which are invested primarily in intermediate, fixed maturity investments intended to reflect the nature of anticipated cash obligations of insurance benefit payments and insurance contract maturities and to optimize investment returns at appropriate risk levels. Unexpected cash requirements and liquidity needs 28 can be met through UNUM's investment portfolio of fixed maturities classified as available for sale, equity securities, cash and short-term investments. To facilitate the expected sale of the TSA business later in 1996, management expects to primarily liquidate fixed maturities and accumulate cash and short-term investments. From time to time, dividend payments, which may be subject to approval by insurance regulatory authorities, are made from UNUM's affiliates and insurance subsidiaries to UNUM Corporation. These dividends, along with other funds, are used to service the needs of UNUM Corporation including: debt service, common stock dividends, stock repurchase, administrative costs and corporate development. Income determined using statutory accounting is one of the major determinants of an insurance company's dividend capacity to its parent in the following fiscal year. Statutory accounting rules and practices, which differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles, are mandated by regulators in an insurance company's state of domicile. In 1995, UNUM America's statutory net income increased to $226.4 million, as compared with $39.2 million in 1994, which was primarily due to significant improvements in the income of certain disability products, and significantly higher realized investment gains as a result of the sale of the common stock portfolio. As described in the Disability Insurance segment, in 1994 UNUM America strengthened reserves for existing claims related to the traditional non-cancellable individual disability products, which resulted in a statutory after-tax charge of $69.6 million in third quarter 1994. This charge combined with unfavorable claims experience in certain disability businesses contributed to the decline in UNUM America's statutory income in 1994. As a result of the increase in UNUM America's statutory earnings in 1995, the amount available under current law for payment of dividends during 1996 to UNUM Corporation from all U.S. domiciled insurance subsidiaries without state insurance regulatory approval, increased to approximately $135 million, as compared with approximately $81 million for 1995. UNUM Corporation also has the ability to draw a dividend of approximately $19 million from its United Kingdom- based affiliate, UNUM Limited, subject to certain U.S. tax consequences. Cash flow requirements are also supported by a committed revolving credit facility totaling $500 million, which expires October 1, 1999. UNUM Corporation's commercial paper program is supported by the revolving credit facility, and is available for general liquidity needs, capital expansion, acquisitions and stock repurchase. The committed revolving credit facility contains certain covenants which, among other provisions, require maintenance of certain levels of stockholders' equity and limits on level of debt. In September 1993, UNUM filed an omnibus shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which became effective on October 8, 1993, relating to $450 million of securities (including debt securities, preferred stock, common stock and other securities). On October 8, 1993, UNUM filed a prospectus supplement to establish a $250 million medium-term note ("MTN") program under the shelf registration. On May 11, 1995, UNUM Corporation issued $172.5 million of 8.80% Monthly Income Debt Securities ("MIDS") (Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series A) under the shelf registration, which mature in 2025. At December 31, 1995, UNUM had short-term and long-term debt totaling $126.5 million and $457.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 1995, approximately $417 million was available for additional financing under the existing revolving credit facility and approximately $96 million of investment grade debt instruments were available for issuance under the shelf registration. Contingent upon market conditions and corporate needs, management may refinance short-term notes payable with longer term securities. At December 31, 1995, approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock remained authorized for stock repurchase. During 1995, UNUM did not acquire any shares in the open market. During 1994 and 1993, UNUM repurchased 3.9 million and 3.7 million shares, respectively, in the open market. The aggregate cost of the 1994 and 1993 repurchases was $183.3 million and $192.5 million, respectively, which was primarily funded through additional borrowings. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, withdrawals of 401(k), GIC and DA contracts reported in the Retirement Products segment, including contract terminations, payments to participants and transfers to other carriers, were approximately $46 million, $130 million and $309 million, respectively. Withdrawals during 1995, 1994 and 1993, were at levels expected by management and reflect the run-off nature of these closed blocks of businesses. UNUM manages liquidity objectives by including certain conditions in pension contracts which prohibit or restrict availability of funds. UNUM was committed at December 31, 1995, to purchase fixed maturities and other invested assets in the amount of $91.2 million. Independent of the cash flows of UNUM Corporation, management anticipates that the operating cash flows of the subsidiaries of UNUM Corporation will be sufficient to meet benefit obligations, planned investment commitments and operational needs of those companies. 29 RATINGS Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's"), Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and A.M. Best Company ("A.M. Best") are among the third parties that provide UNUM independent assessments of its overall financial position. Ratings from these agencies for financial strength and claims paying ability are available for the individual United States domiciled insurance company subsidiaries rather than on a consolidated basis, since the financial information used to develop the ratings is based on statutory accounting practices in the United States. Debt ratings for UNUM Corporation are based on consolidated financial information under generally accepted accounting principles. The table below reflects the debt ratings for UNUM Corporation and the claims paying ability and financial strength ratings for UNUM's United States domiciled insurance company subsidiaries at March 8, 1996: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STANDARD & POOR'S MOODY'S A.M. BEST - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNUM CORPORATION RATINGS: Senior Debt (MTN program) A+ A1 (Strong) (Upper Medium Grade) Commercial Paper A-1 P-1 (Strong) (Superior Ability) Subordinated Debt (MIDS) A A2 (Strong) (Upper Medium Grade) UNITED STATES SUBSIDIARIES' RATINGS: CLAIMS PAYING ABILITY RATING FINANCIAL STRENGTH RATING UNUM America AA Aa2 A++ (Excellent) (Excellent) (Superior) First UNUM AA Aa2 A+ (Excellent) (Excellent) (Superior) Colonial Life & Accident AA- Aa3 A+ (Excellent) (Excellent) (Superior) Commercial Life AA A (Excellent) (Excellent) At March 8, 1996, the unsold portion of the shelf registration related to preferred stock carried a rating of "(P)"a1"" (Upper-Medium Quality) from Moody's Investors Service. INSURANCE REGULATION The Risk-Based Capital standards for life insurance companies, as prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, are based on a formula that establishes capital requirements relating to existing asset default risk, insurance risk, interest rate (asset/liability mismatch) risk and business risk. A company's Total Adjusted Capital (statutory capital, surplus and Asset Valuation Reserve plus certain other adjustments) is compared to the Authorized Control Level ("ACL") of Risk-Based Capital produced by the formula. Subject to certain trend tests to determine the change in the ACL ratio from year to year, companies with Total Adjusted Capital above 200% of ACL are assumed to be adequately capitalized. Companies below 200% of ACL are identified as requiring various levels of regulatory action ranging from increased information requirements for companies between 150% and 200% of ACL, to mandatory control by the domiciliary insurance department for companies below 70% of ACL. At December 31, 1995, the ACL ratios for UNUM America, First UNUM, Colonial Life and Commercial Life were 382%, 382%, 436% and 329%, respectively. This compares with ACL ratios at December 31, 1994, of 307%, 357%, 442% and 378%, respectively. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS UNUM periodically uses common derivative financial instruments such as options, futures and forward exchange contracts to hedge certain risks associated with future investments and certain payments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. These derivative financial instruments are used to protect UNUM from the effect of market fluctuations in interest and exchange rates between the contract date and the 30 date on which the hedged transaction occurs. In using these instruments, UNUM is subject to the off-balance-sheet risk that the counterparties of the transactions will fail to completely perform as contracted. UNUM manages this risk by only entering into contracts with highly rated institutions and listed exchanges. UNUM does not intend to hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of trading. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, UNUM had no open derivative financial instruments. LITIGATION In the normal course of its business operations, UNUM is involved in litigation from time to time with claimants, beneficiaries and others, and a number of lawsuits were pending at December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from this litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated operating results of UNUM. On December 29, 1993, UNUM filed a suit in the United States District Court for the District of Maine, seeking a federal income tax refund. The suit is based on a claim for a deduction in certain prior tax years, for $652 million in cash and stock distributed to policyholders in connection with the 1986 conversion of Union Mutual Life Insurance Company to a stock company. Although UNUM believes its claims are meritorious, the United States is aggressively resisting the claims and the ultimate recovery, if any, cannot be determined at this time. EFFECT OF INFLATION Inflation is one of the factors that has increased the need for insurance. Many policyholders who once had adequate insurance programs at lower coverage levels have increased their disability insurance coverage to provide the same relative financial benefits and protection. Changing interest rates, which are traditionally linked to changes in inflation, affect UNUM's level of discounted reserves. While rising interest rates are beneficial when investing current cash flows, they can also reduce the fair value of existing fixed rate long-term investments. In addition, lower interest rates can lead to early payoffs and refinancing of some of UNUM's fixed rate investments. Management generally invests in fixed rate instruments that are structured to limit the exposure to such reinvestment risk. 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," which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. UNUM will adopt FAS 121 effective January 1, 1996. The adoption of FAS 121 is not expected to have a material effect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. In October 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. FAS 123 defines a new method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans using a fair value based method, under which compensation cost is measured and recognized in results of operations. Alternatively, FAS 123 allows an entity to retain the accounting method for employee stock compensation plans defined under APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." If an entity retains the accounting defined under APB 25, certain pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share must be made as if the fair value based method defined under FAS 123 had been applied. UNUM is required to adopt FAS 123 effective January 1, 1996. UNUM has determined that it will retain the accounting methodology prescribed by APB 25 and will disclose the pro forma effects of such stock-based compensation as required in 1996. ITEM 8.

These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein. As discussed in Notes 2, 7, and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt securities in 1994 and its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions, and accounting for income taxes in 1993. /s/ COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries ("UNUM") have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UNUM Corporation and subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. RECLASSIFICATION Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified in 1995 for comparative purposes. INVESTMENTS Investments are reported as follows: - Fixed maturities available for sale (certain bonds and redeemable preferred stocks) -- at fair value. - Fixed maturities held to maturity (certain bonds and redeemable preferred stocks) -- principally at amortized cost. - Equity securities available for sale (common stocks and non-redeemable preferred stocks) -- at fair value. - Mortgage loans -- at amortized cost less an allowance for probable losses. - Real estate -- at cost less accumulated depreciation. - Policy loans -- at unpaid principal balance. - Other long-term investments -- at cost plus UNUM's equity in undistributed net earnings since acquisition. - Short-term investments -- are considered available for sale and are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Fixed maturities and equity securities are classified as available for sale as they may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, resultant prepayment risk, liquidity and capital needs, or other similar economic factors. Unrealized gains and losses related to securities classified as available for sale are excluded from net income and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of applicable deferred taxes and related adjustments to unpaid claims. The unrealized gains and losses are determined based on estimated market values at the balance sheet date and are not necessarily the amounts which would be realized upon sale of the securities or representative of future market values. Changing interest rates affect the level of unrealized gains and losses related to securities classified as available for sale. While rising interest rates are beneficial when investing current cash flows, they can also reduce the fair value of existing fixed rate long-term investments. In addition, lower interest rates can lead to early payoffs and refinancing of some of UNUM's fixed rate investments. Management generally invests in fixed rate instruments that are structured to limit the exposure to such reinvestment risk. Fixed maturities that UNUM has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity. Realized investment gains and losses, which are determined on the basis of specific identification and include adjustments for allowances for probable losses, are reported separately in the Consolidated Statements of Income. If a decline in fair value of an invested asset is considered to be other than temporary, the investment is reduced to its net realizable value and the reduction is accounted for as a realized investment loss. UNUM discontinues the accrual of investment income on invested assets when it is determined that collectability is doubtful. UNUM recognizes investment income on impaired loans when the income is received. 37 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Real estate held for sale, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is valued at the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell, or cost. UNUM has provided an allowance for probable losses on real estate held for sale that reduces the carrying value of the asset to fair value. Purchases and sales of short-term financial instruments are part of investing activities and not necessarily a part of the cash management program. Therefore, short-term financial instruments are classified as investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are included as investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Gains or losses on hedges of existing assets or liabilities are deferred and included in the carrying amounts of those assets or liabilities. Gains or losses related to qualifying hedges of firm commitments or anticipated transactions are also deferred and recognized in the carrying amount of the underlying asset or liability when the hedged transaction occurs. RECOGNITION OF PREMIUM REVENUES AND RELATED EXPENSES Group insurance premiums are recognized as income over the period to which the premiums relate. Individual disability premiums are recognized as income when due. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This association is accomplished by recording a provision for future policy benefits and unpaid claims and claim expenses, and by amortizing deferred policy acquisition costs. For retirement and universal life products, premium and other policy fee revenue consist of charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration and surrenders assessed during the period. Charges related to services to be performed in the future are deferred until earned. The amounts received in excess of premium and fees are recorded as deposits and included in other policyholder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Benefits and expenses include benefit claims in excess of related account balances, interest credited at various rates and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS The costs of acquiring new business that vary with and that are related primarily to the production of new business have been deferred to the extent such costs are deemed recoverable from future profits. Such costs include commissions, certain costs of policy issue and underwriting, and certain variable field office expenses. For individual disability, group disability, and group life and health business, the costs are amortized in proportion to expected future premiums. For universal life and certain retirement products, the costs are amortized in proportion to estimated gross profits from interest margins, mortality and other elements of performance under the contracts. Amortization is adjusted periodically to reflect differences between actual experience and original assumptions, with any resulting changes reflected in current operating results. The amounts deferred and amortized were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred......................................................................................... $ 308.3 $ 308.1 $ 282.8 Less amortized................................................................................... (193.6) (152.8) (147.7) --------- --------- --------- Increase in deferred policy acquisition costs.................................................. $ 114.7 $ 155.3 $ 135.1 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- RESERVES FOR FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS Reserves for future policy benefits are calculated by the net-level premium method, and are based on UNUM's expected morbidity, mortality and interest rate assumptions at the time a policy is issued. These reserves represent the portion of premiums received, accumulated with interest and held to provide for claims that have not yet been incurred. The reserve assumptions are periodically reviewed and compared to actual experience and are revised if it is determined that future expected experience is different from the reserve assumptions. Reserves for group insurance policies consist primarily of unearned premiums. 38 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The interest rates used in the calculation of reserves for future policy benefits at December 31, 1995, and 1994, principally ranged from: Individual disability.......................................................... 5.5% to 9.5% Individual life................................................................ 5.0% to 9.0% Individual accident and health................................................. 5.0% to 9.0% Individual and group annuities................................................. 5.0% to 9.0% Certain reserve calculations are based on interest rates within these ranges graded down over periods from 15 to 20 years. RESERVES FOR UNPAID CLAIMS AND CLAIM EXPENSES Unpaid claims and claim expense reserves represent the amount estimated to fund claims that have been reported but not settled and claims incurred but not reported. Reserves for unpaid claims are estimated based on UNUM's historical experience and other actuarial assumptions that consider the effects of current developments, anticipated trends, risk management programs and renewal actions. Many factors affect actuarial calculations of claim reserves, including but not limited to interest rates and current and anticipated incidence rates, recovery rates, and economic and societal conditions. Reserve estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated with any resulting adjustments to reserves reflected in current operating results. Given the complexity of the reserving process, the ultimate liability may be more or less than such estimates indicate. The interest rates used in the calculation of disability claims reserves at December 31, 1995, and 1994, were principally as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group long term disability (North America)............................................... 7.94% 9.18% Group long term disability (United Kingdom).............................................. 9.67% 9.94% Individual disability.................................................................... 6.75% to 9.67% 6.75% to 9.94% The interest rate used to discount the disability reserves is a composite of the yields on assets specifically matched with each block of business. Management expects the reserve discount rate for certain disability products will further decline, since current cash flows are invested in high quality assets at current yields, which are below the composite yield of the existing assets purchased in prior years. UNUM periodically adjusts prices on both existing and new business in an effort to mitigate the impact of the current interest rate environment. For other accident and health business, reserves are based on projections of historical claims run-out patterns. 39 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Activity in the liability for unpaid claims and claim expenses is summarized as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at January 1.......................................................................... $ 3,853.9 $ 3,341.5 $ 2,983.6 Less reinsurance recoverables...............................................................

These increases were primarily the result of interest accrued on reserves, changes in reserve estimates and assumptions of interest rates, morbidity, mortality and expense costs, and changes in foreign exchange rates, primarily related to the disability reserves of UNUM's United Kingdom-based affiliate, UNUM Limited. Due to the long-term claims payment pattern of some of UNUM's businesses, certain reserves, particularly disability, are discounted for interest. Changes in reserve estimates and assumptions were primarily a result of increased reserves from lower discount rates for certain disability products following the sale of the common stock portfolio in 1995, and adjustments to strengthen certain disability reserves in 1995 and 1994. The components of the increase in unpaid claims and claims expenses incurred and related to prior years were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest accrued on reserves.............................................................................. $270.0 $267.0 $237.0 Changes in reserve estimates and assumptions.............................................................. 239.0 154.0 6.0 Changes in foreign exchange rates......................................................................... (2.0) 15.0 (5.0) ------ ------ ------ Increase in incurrals related to prior years............................................................ $507.0 $436.0 $238.0 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ In connection with the transfer of all fixed maturities previously classified as held to maturity to available for sale, explained in Note 2, unpaid claims were adjusted by $261.2 million on December 31, 1995. Unpaid claims are adjusted to reflect changes that would have been necessary if the unrealized gains and losses related to fixed maturities classified as available for sale had been realized. Where applicable, UNUM has reflected those adjustments in the liability balances with corresponding credits or charges, net of related deferred taxes, reported as a component of unrealized gains on available for sale securities in stockholders' equity. Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts," which eliminated the practice by insurance 40 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) enterprises of reporting assets and liabilities relating to reinsured contracts net of the effects of reinsurance. Since UNUM did not restate its financial statements upon adoption of FAS 113, reserve balances prior to December 31, 1993, are shown net of reinsurance recoverables. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES During 1995, UNUM sold virtually all of the common stock portfolio of its United States subsidiaries. The sale of the common stock portfolio, which partially supported certain disability reserves, and the reinvestment of the proceeds primarily in investment grade fixed income assets at yields below the average portfolio yield, resulted in lower reserve discount rates for certain disability products reported in the Disability Insurance segment. This change in accounting estimate to lower certain discount rates resulted in an increase of $128.6 million to benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statement of Income, and a decrease to net income of $83.6 million, or $1.15 per share. During 1995, UNUM increased the group long term disability reserves for incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims, as reported in the Disability Insurance segment. The increased IBNR reserves were based on management's judgment that claims currently incurred but not yet reported will reflect increased levels of claims incidence and severity. This change in accounting estimate resulted in an increase to benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statement of Income of $38.4 million, and a decrease to net income of $25.0 million, or $0.34 per share. During 1995, UNUM increased reserves for unpaid claims related to the association group disability business by $15.0 million to reflect management's expectations of slower than expected claim recoveries. This change in accounting estimate, which was reflected in the Disability Insurance segment, decreased net income by $9.8 million, or $0.14 per share. During 1994, UNUM increased reserves for existing claims by $83.3 million and strengthened reserves for estimated future losses by $109.1 million. These increased reserves reflected management's expectations of morbidity trends for the non-cancellable individual disability business, as reported in the Disability Insurance Segment. This change in accounting estimate resulted in an increase to benefits to policyholders in the Consolidated Statement of Income of $192.4 million, and a decrease to net income of $125.1 million, or $1.69 per share. OTHER POLICYHOLDER FUNDS Other policyholder funds are liabilities for investment-type contracts and represent customer deposits plus interest credited to those deposits at various rates. LIABILITIES FOR RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Liabilities for restructuring activities are recorded when management, prior to the balance sheet date, commits to execute an exit plan that will result in the incurral of costs that have no future economic benefit, or approves a plan of termination and communicates sufficient detail of the plan to employees. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS Certain assets of UNUM's defined benefit plans and tax sheltered annuity contracts are in separate accounts that are pooled investment funds of securities. Investment income and realized gains and losses on these accounts accrue directly to the contractholders. Assets, carried at market value, and liabilities of the separate accounts are shown separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of the separate accounts are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of UNUM. ACCOUNTING FOR PARTICIPATING INDIVIDUAL LIFE INSURANCE Participating policies issued by the former Union Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Union Mutual") prior to UNUM's conversion to a stock life insurance company on November 14, 1986, will remain participating as long as they remain in force. A Participation Fund Account ("PFA") was established for the sole benefit of all of Union Mutual's individual participating life and annuity policies and contracts. 41 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The assets of the PFA are to provide for the benefit, dividend and certain expense obligations of the participating individual life insurance policies and annuity contracts. This line of business participates in the experience of the PFA and its operations have been excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Income. The PFA represented approximately 2.5% and 2.5% of total assets and 2.8% and 3.0% of total liabilities at December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes includes amounts currently payable and deferred income taxes, which result from differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred U.S. income taxes have not been provided on accumulated earnings of UNUM's foreign subsidiaries. These earnings could generate additional U.S. tax if remitted to UNUM Corporation. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Foreign subsidiaries' balance sheet and income statement accounts expressed in local functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using ending and quarterly average exchange rates, respectively. The resulting translation adjustments are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. EARNINGS PER SHARE The weighted average number of shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share was approximately 72,677,000, 74,158,000 and 78,779,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The assumed exercise of outstanding stock options does not result in a material dilution of earnings per share. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. UNUM will adopt FAS 121 effective January 1, 1996. The adoption of FAS 121 is not expected to have a material effect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. In October 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. FAS 123 defines a new method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans using a fair value based method, under which compensation cost is measured and recognized in results of operations. Alternatively, FAS 123 allows an entity to retain the accounting method for employee stock compensation plans defined under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." If an entity retains the accounting defined under APB 25, certain pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share must be made as if the fair value based method defined under FAS 123 had been applied. UNUM is required to adopt FAS 123 effective January 1, 1996. UNUM has determined that it will retain the accounting methodology prescribed in APB 25 and will disclose the pro forma effects of such stock-based compensation as required in 1996. NOTE 2. INVESTMENTS Effective January 1, 1994, UNUM adopted FAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which specified the accounting and reporting for certain investments in equity securities and for all investments in debt securities. UNUM adopted the provisions of FAS 115 for these investments held or acquired after January 1, 1994. Upon the adoption of FAS 115, UNUM increased unrealized gains on available for sale securities included in stockholders' equity on January 1, 1994, by $41.8 million (net of deferred taxes of $22.5 million) to reflect the unrealized holding gains on fixed maturities classified as available for sale that were previously carried at amortized cost. In addition, UNUM reclassified certain fixed maturities from held to maturity to available for sale on January 1, 1994, in connection with the adoption of FAS 115. In November 1995, the FASB issued "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which provided a one-time opportunity to reassess the appropriateness of the 42 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 2. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) classifications of securities described in FAS 115, and to reclassify fixed maturities from the held to maturity category without calling into question the intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. On December 31, 1995, UNUM reassessed its fixed maturity portfolio and as allowed under the implementation guidance, reclassified fixed maturities with an amortized cost of $6,082.8 million and a related net unrealized gain of $393.0 million from the held to maturity category to available for sale. In connection with the reclassification of the held to maturity fixed maturities to available for sale, on December 31, 1995, UNUM adjusted its unpaid claims by $261.2 million to reflect the changes that would have been necessary if the unrealized gains and losses related to fixed maturities classified as available for sale had been realized. The following tables summarize the components of investment income, net realized investment gains and changes in unrealized investment gains (losses): INVESTMENT INCOME - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ---------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed maturities: Held to maturity........................................................................................ $488.0 $548.1 $570.1 Available for sale...................................................................................... 182.2 87.9 59.5 Equity securities available for sale...................................................................... 5.3 10.4 12.6 Mortgage loans............................................................................................ 119.9 137.4 165.2 Real estate............................................................................................... 15.2 15.8 12.8 Policy loans.............................................................................................. 8.6 10.2 10.4 Other long-term investments............................................................................... 1.6 0.9 4.5 Short-term investments.................................................................................... 27.1 8.5 7.1 ------ ------ ------ Gross investment income............................................................................... 847.9 819.2 842.2 Less investment expenses..................................................................................

These sales resulted in a net realized loss of $1.2 million. During 1994, UNUM sold fixed maturities of five issuers classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $49.8 million due to evidence of significant deterioration of the issuers' creditworthiness. These sales resulted in a net realized loss of $3.0 million. 45 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 2. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) EQUITY SECURITIES The fair values, which also represent carrying amounts, and the cost of equity securities available for sale were as follows at December 31, 1995: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAIR (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) COST VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Common stocks: Industrial, miscellaneous and all other............................................................................. $21.1 $25.2 ----- ----- ----- ----- Gross unrealized investment gains on equity securities available for sale totaled $5.5 million and $158.7 million and losses totaled $1.4 million and $23.0 million, at December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. MORTGAGE LOANS Effective January 1, 1995, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and FAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," which defined the principles to measure and record an impaired loan. When it is probable that UNUM will be unable to collect all amounts of principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of a loan agreement, the loan is deemed impaired. Once a loan is determined to be impaired, an allowance for probable losses is established for the difference between the carrying amount of the loan and its estimated value. The estimated value is based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral. The adoption of FAS 114 and FAS 118 did not have a material effect on UNUM's results of operations or financial position. At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in impaired loans amounted to $50.1 million. Included in the $50.1 million was $38.4 million of loans which had a related allowance for probable losses of $7.1 million, and $11.7 million of loans which had no related allowance for probable losses. Mortgage loans that were restructured prior to the adoption of FAS 114 amounted to $59.9 million and $73.6 million at December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings represent loans that are refinanced with terms more favorable to the borrower. Interest foregone on these loans was not material for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 or 1993. OTHER Real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt cumulatively amounts to $107.6 million at December 31, 1995. Real estate held for sale amounted to $35.5 million at December 31, 1995, and $31.0 million at December 31, 1994. Mortgages with an amortized cost of $1.9 million, real estate with a depreciated cost of $4.7 million and no bonds were non-income producing for the twelve months ended December 31, 1995. Interest lost on these investments was not material in 1995, 1994 or 1993. UNUM was committed at December 31, 1995, to purchase fixed maturities and other invested assets in the amount of $91.2 million. 46 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 3. ALLOWANCE FOR PROBABLE LOSSES ON INVESTED ASSETS AND REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE Changes in the allowance for probable losses on invested assets and real estate held for sale were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BALANCE AT BALANCE BEGINNING AT END (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) OF YEAR ADDITIONS DEDUCTIONS OF YEAR - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year Ended December 31, 1995 Mortgage loans.................................................................... $43.2 $ 9.2 $(13.2) $39.2 Real estate held for sale......................................................... 13.2 6.3 (0.4) 19.1 ----- --------- ---------- ------- Total........................................................................... $56.4 $15.5 $(13.6) $58.3 ----- --------- ---------- ------- Year Ended December 31, 1994 Fixed maturities held to maturity and available for sale.......................... $ 0.3 $ -- $ (0.3) $ -- Mortgage loans.................................................................... 48.6 8.5 (13.9) 43.2 Real estate held for sale......................................................... 20.9 0.8 (8.5) 13.2 ----- --------- ---------- ------- Total........................................................................... $69.8 $ 9.3 $(22.7) $56.4 ----- --------- ---------- ------- Year Ended December 31, 1993 Fixed maturities held to maturity and available for sale.......................... $ 4.1 $(3.8) $ -- $ 0.3 Mortgage loans.................................................................... 51.5 4.8 (7.7) 48.6 Real estate held for sale......................................................... 13.6 18.8 (11.5) 20.9 ----- --------- ---------- ------- Total........................................................................... $69.2 $19.8 $(19.2) $69.8 ----- --------- ---------- ------- ----- --------- ---------- ------- Additions represent charges to net realized investment gains less recoveries, and deductions represent reserves released upon disposal or restructuring of the related asset. Subsequent to January 1, 1994, adjustments for other than temporary declines in value of all fixed maturities are recorded as a direct adjustment to the securities' carrying value. NOTE 4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS UNUM periodically uses common derivative financial instruments such as options, futures and forward exchange contracts to hedge certain risks associated with future investments and certain payments denominated in foreign currencies, primarily British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. These derivative financial instruments are used to protect UNUM from the effect of market fluctuations in interest and exchange rates between the contract date and the date on which the hedged transaction occurs. In using these instruments, UNUM is subject to the off-balance-sheet risk that the counterparties to the transactions will fail to completely perform as contracted. UNUM manages this risk by only entering into contracts with highly rated institutions and listed exchanges. UNUM does not intend to hold derivative financial instruments for the purpose of trading. At December 31, 1995, and 1994, UNUM had no open derivative financial instruments. 47 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 5. REINSURANCE UNUM, through its life insurance subsidiaries, is involved in both the cession and assumption of reinsurance with other companies. Risks are reinsured with other companies to reduce UNUM's exposure to large losses and permit recovery of a portion of direct losses. UNUM remains liable to the insured for the payment of policy benefits if the reinsurers cannot meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. Deferred policy acquisition costs, premiums and expenses are stated net of reinsurance ceded to other companies. The effect of reinsurance on premiums earned and written for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Premiums earned: Direct...................................................................................... $ 2,842.9 $ 2,663.1 $ 2,331.5 Assumed..................................................................................... 241.5 170.7 192.6 Ceded.......................................................................................

NOTE 6. BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES Charges of $8.4 million and $14.4 million were recorded in 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to the acceleration of organizational changes within UNUM Life Insurance Company of America and the decision to discontinue the individual disability non-cancellable product. Partially offsetting the charge recorded in 1995 was a $3.4 million curtailment gain, related to workforce reductions in UNUM Corporation's noncontributory defined benefit pension plan.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLANS UNUM has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all domestic employees, excluding employees of Colonial Companies, Inc., and Duncanson & Holt, Inc., who are covered under separate plans. The plan provides benefits based on the employee's years of service and compensation during the highest five consecutive years out of the last ten years of employment. UNUM funds the plan in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Plan assets consist primarily of group annuity contracts and include 224,392 shares of UNUM Corporation common stock. Net pension cost included the following components: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ---------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost -- benefits earned during the year................................................... $ 7.7 $ 9.2 $ 8.6 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation..................................................... 12.3 11.6 10.9 Actual return on plan assets......................................................................

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9.0% in 1995 and 1994, and 8.25% in 1993. Prior year service costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over expected employment periods for active employees. In December 1995, the Board of Directors of UNUM Corporation approved an amendment to the pension plan that included a new benefit formula. UNUM also administers certain supplemental retirement plans for eligible employees and officers and certain other pension plans. The cost of these plans was not significant for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. 49 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS UNUM has several retirement savings and profit sharing plans for substantially all full-time and part-time employees who work 1,000 hours a year and have been employed for at least one year. Dependent upon which plan the employee participates in, eligible employees may contribute primarily up to 10% of their annual base salary, and UNUM matches a portion of each employee's contribution up to 6% of the employee's bi-weekly compensation. Participants may become 100% vested immediately upon becoming eligible to participate, or incrementally over a five year period. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, expense for these plans amounted to $8.4 million, $8.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively. UNUM intends to introduce single pension and retirement savings plans for all domestic employees effective January 1, 1997. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS UNUM provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and covered dependents. Substantially all domestic employees of UNUM may become eligible for these benefits if they meet minimum age and service requirements, if they are eligible for retirement benefits and if they agree to contribute a portion of the cost. UNUM has the right to modify or terminate these benefits. The underlying plans are not currently funded. Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," which changed the method for recognition of the cost of these benefits from a cash basis to an accrual basis over the years in which the employees render the related services. UNUM elected to immediately recognize the FAS 106 liability at January 1, 1993, of $48.8 million as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which decreased net income by $32.1 million, or $0.40 per share, during 1993. Postretirement benefits expense included the following components: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost...................................................................................... $ 4.2 $3.8 Interest cost..................................................................................... 5.8 4.4 ----- ---- Postretirement benefits expense............................................................... $10.0 $8.2 ----- ---- ----- ---- The following represents the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefits obligation as determined by the plans' actuaries: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, ----------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retirees.......................................................................................... $21.5 $21.3 Active employees fully eligible................................................................... 9.3 4.5 Other active participants......................................................................... 41.5 38.9 ----- ---- Accumulated postretirement benefits obligation.................................................... 72.3 64.7 Unrecognized other amounts........................................................................ 0.1 (1.0) ----- ---- Accrued postretirement benefits cost.......................................................... $72.4 $63.7 ----- ---- ----- ---- Under UNUM's plans, the cost of covered health care benefits is assumed to increase 8.75% for retirees less than 65 years old, and 6.67% for retirees 65 years and older for 1996. These rates are assumed to decrease incrementally to 5.00% by 2001, and remain at that level thereafter. The weighted average discount rates used in determining the accumulated 50 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) postretirement benefits obligation were 7.25% at December 31, 1995, and 8.00% and 8.25%, at December 31, 1994. The rates of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefits obligation were 4.7% and 5.2%, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1995, a 1% increase in the trend rate for health care costs would increase the accumulated postretirement benefits obligation by $17.3 million and postretirement benefits expense by $2.7 million. NOTE 8. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PLANS LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN The 1990 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan") provides for granting of restricted shares of UNUM Corporation common stock to key officers. The Incentive Plan also provides for granting of options to officers, non- employee directors of UNUM Corporation and key employees, to purchase UNUM Corporation common stock over ten years at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan was 6,800,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993. At December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, 1,680,235 shares, 2,511,145 shares, and 3,316,734 shares, respectively, were available for grant under the Incentive Plan. The restriction period for each restricted stock award under the Incentive Plan is in excess of three years, with the restrictions lapsing as a result of the achievement of prescribed financial performance objectives during each three year period, with the exception of 20,200 shares granted in 1995 and 10,000 shares granted in 1994, on which restrictions will lapse upon the grantee remaining in the employ of UNUM for a prescribed period of time. Plan participants are entitled to cash dividends and voting rights on their respective shares. All other restricted stock shares issued remained subject to restrictions. The market value of the restricted shares issued under the Incentive Plan has been recorded as deferred compensation and is included as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The 1987 Executive Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan") provided for granting to officers and key employees options to purchase UNUM Corporation common stock over ten years at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options outstanding under the Option Plan are included in the summary of stock options. Between 1991 and 1994, certain officers were granted limited stock appreciation rights ("LSARs") in tandem with their outstanding options. LSARs afford the optionee the right to receive payment upon a change in control as defined in the plans equal to the higher of the excess of the highest price per share paid in connection with such change in control or the fair market value per share, over the option price per share. As an underlying stock option is exercised, the LSARs are automatically canceled. At December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, there were 480,825 LSARs, 590,275 LSARs, and 556,500 LSARs outstanding, respectively. THE 1998 GOALS STOCK OPTION PLAN The 1998 Goals Stock Option Plan ("1998 Option Plan") was introduced in January 1995. The 1998 Option Plan provides for granting to all eligible employees up to 150 options to purchase UNUM Corporation common stock at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. The options will vest to the employee in nine years from the date of the grant; however, if UNUM achieves its 1998 goals, vesting will be accelerated to early 1999. During 1995, 1,105,350 shares were granted under the 1998 Option Plan. Options outstanding under the 1998 Option Plan are included in the summary of stock options. 51 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 8.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLANS UNUM has several annual incentive plans for certain employees and executive officers, that provide additional compensation based on achievement of predetermined annual corporate and affiliate financial and non-financial goals. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, expense for these plans was $19.9 million, $7.5 million and $27.9 million, respectively. NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES Effective January 1, 1993, UNUM adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which changed the method for calculating and reporting deferred income taxes in the financial statements from the deferred method to the liability method. The liability method requires that deferred tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period be determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Under this method, income tax will increase or decrease in the same period in which a change in tax rate is enacted. The cumulative effect of this accounting change amounted to a $20.0 million increase in net income, or $0.25 per share, for the year ended December 31, 1993. 52 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 9.

The tax rate increase resulted in a charge to net income totaling $11.4 million, or $0.15 per share, which included $3.6 million, or $0.05 per share, related to 1993 pretax income, and a $7.8 million, or $0.10 per share, adjustment to the deferred income tax liability. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets consist of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, -------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Deferred policy acquisition costs........................................................................ $ 321.6 $ 298.9 Policy reserve adjustments............................................................................... -- 59.3 Net unrealized gains..................................................................................... 174.0 27.1 Value of business acquired............................................................................... 17.7 17.9 Invested assets.......................................................................................... 10.9 28.9 Other.................................................................................................... 16.0 10.6 --------- --------- Gross deferred tax liabilities......................................................................... 540.2 442.7 --------- --------- Deferred tax assets: Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards............................................................. 29.0 45.3 Policy reserve adjustments............................................................................... 65.9 -- Net realized losses...................................................................................... 25.1 15.0 Postretirement benefits.................................................................................. 22.1 20.3 Loss carryforward........................................................................................ 1.0 5.9 Other.................................................................................................... 11.1 7.6 --------- --------- Gross deferred tax assets.............................................................................. 154.2 94.1 Less valuation allowance................................................................................... 6.0 -- --------- --------- Net deferred tax assets................................................................................ 148.2 94.1 --------- --------- Net deferred tax liability................................................................................. $ 392.0 $ 348.6 --------- --------- --------- --------- Deferred income taxes relating to cumulative net unrealized gains on available for sale fixed maturity and equity securities were $174.0 million, $27.1 million and $79.4 million at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 53 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. UNUM established a valuation allowance of $6.0 million in 1995 to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets which may not be realized related to certain reported foreign subsidiaries' losses. As of December 31, 1995, deferred U.S. income taxes have not been provided on the accumulated earnings of UNUM's foreign subsidiaries. These earnings could generate additional U.S. tax if remitted to UNUM Corporation. Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1984 ("1984 Act"), half the excess of the tax basis gain from operations of a life insurance company over its taxable investment income was currently taxable. The other half was set aside in a Policyholders Surplus Account, together with certain special life insurance company deductions. The cumulative amount in the Policyholders Surplus Account as of December 31, 1983, was frozen by the 1984 Act and amounted to $31.8 million at December 31, 1995. Any direct or indirect distributions from this account would be taxed at current tax rates; however, no provision has been made for related taxes. If the amount set aside in this account were taxed at the current rate at December 31, 1995, for all life insurance subsidiaries, the tax would have amounted to $11.1 million. UNUM's Consolidated Statements of Income for 1995, 1994 and 1993, included the following amounts of foreign income and related income tax expense: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------- (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 1995 1994 1993 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign income............................................................................ $(1.2) $24.2 $ 20.9 ----- ----- ------ ----- ----- ------ Income tax expense (credit): Current................................................................................. $ 1.4 $ 0.7 $(12.5) Deferred................................................................................

NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED) At December 31, 1995, UNUM Corporation had a $500 million committed revolving credit facility that expires on October 1, 1999. UNUM's commercial paper program is supported by the revolving credit facility and is available for general liquidity needs, capital expansion, acquisitions or stock repurchase. The committed revolving credit facility contains certain covenants which, among other provisions, require maintenance of certain levels of stockholders' equity and limits on debt levels. The commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 1995, and 1994, had a weighted average interest rate of 5.88% and 6.34%, respectively. Aggregate maturities of notes payable are as follows: 1996-$126.5 million; 1997-$48.5 million; 1998-$68.0 million; 1999-$21.5 million; 2000-$60.0; thereafter-$259.3 million. NOTE 11. CAPITAL STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS At December 31, 1995, approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock remained authorized for stock repurchase. During 1995, UNUM did not acquire any shares in the open market. During 1994 and 1993, UNUM repurchased 3.9 million and 3.7 million shares, respectively, in the open market. The aggregate cost of the 1994 and 1993 repurchases was $183.3 million and $192.5 million, respectively, which was primarily funded through additional borrowings. Under the Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan and Executive Stock Option Plan and the plans of Colonial Companies, Inc. (see Note 8 "Stock Based Compensation and Incentive Plans"), 612,138 shares, 329,579 shares, and 687,825 shares were issued in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. UNUM adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan on March 13, 1992. Under the Plan, each Right, under certain specific circumstances, entitles the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $150. The Rights become exercisable at a specified time after (1) a person or group acquires 10% or more of UNUM Corporation common stock or (2) a tender or exchange offer for 10% or more of UNUM Corporation common stock. The Rights expire at the close of business on March 13, 2002, unless earlier redeemed by the Company under certain circumstances at a price of $0.01 per Right. NOTE 12. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS UNUM is subject to various state insurance regulatory restrictions that limit the maximum amount of dividends available from its United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries without prior approval. Under current law, during 1996 approximately $135 million will be available for payment of dividends to UNUM Corporation without state insurance regulatory approval. Dividends in excess of this amount may only be paid with state insurance regulatory approval. The aggregate statutory capital and surplus of the United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries of UNUM Corporation was approximately $1,149 million and $840 million, at December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively. The aggregate statutory net income of UNUM Corporation's United States domiciled insurance subsidiaries was approximately $290 million, $70 million and $216 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. State insurance regulatory authorities prescribe statutory accounting practices that differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles. The significant differences relate to deferred acquisition costs, deferred income taxes, non-admitted asset balances, required investment risk reserves and reserve calculation assumptions. UNUM Corporation also has the ability to draw a dividend of approximately $19 million from its United Kingdom based affiliate, UNUM Limited, subject to certain U.S. tax consequences. NOTE 13. LITIGATION In the normal course of its business operations, UNUM is involved in litigation from time to time with claimants, beneficiaries and others, and a number of lawsuits were pending at December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, arising from this litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or the consolidated operating results of UNUM. On December 29, 1993, UNUM filed a suit in the United States District Court for the District of Maine, seeking a federal income tax refund. The suit is based on a claim for a deduction in certain prior tax years, for $652 million in cash 55 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 13. LITIGATION (CONTINUED) and stock distributed to policyholders in connection with the 1986 conversion of Union Mutual Life Insurance Company to a stock company. Although UNUM believes its claims are meritorious, the United States is aggressively resisting the claims and the ultimate recovery, if any, cannot be determined at this time. NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On January 24, 1996, UNUM America entered into an agreement for the sale of its group tax-sheltered annuity ("TSA") business to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company ("Lincoln Life"), a part of Lincoln National Corporation, and to a new New York insurance subsidiary of Lincoln Life. The agreement also contemplates that First UNUM will enter into a similar agreement with Lincoln Life's New York insurance subsidiary. The sale, which is subject to regulatory approvals, involves approximately 1,700 group contractholders and assets under management of approximately $3 billion. The agreement initially contemplates the reinsurance of these contracts under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement. These contracts will then be reinsured pursuant to an assumption reinsurance arrangement upon consent of the TSA contractholders and/or participants. The purchase price (ceding commission) at closing is expected to be approximately $70 million. It is anticipated that it will take several months (perhaps six to nine months) to obtain the necessary approvals and otherwise close the sale. There is no guarantee that the sale will close. Historical results of the TSA business included in UNUM's Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT ---------------------- PER COMMON SHARE DATA) 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revenues........................................................................................ $247.6 $238.1 $250.2 Net income...................................................................................... $ 31.1 $ 29.9 $ 24.7 Net income per common share..................................................................... $ 0.43 $ 0.40 $ 0.31 NOTE 15. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair values are based on quoted market prices, when available. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These valuation techniques require management to develop a significant number of assumptions, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flow. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets or to disclosures by other companies with similar financial instruments. These fair value disclosures do not purport to be the amount that could be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instrument. 56 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 15. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of UNUM's financial instruments at December 31, 1995, and 1994: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1995 1994 -------------------- -------------------- CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Financial assets: Fixed maturities: Available for sale............................................................ $ 9,135.4 $ 9,135.4 $ 1,640.6 $ 1,640.6 Held to maturity.............................................................. -- -- 6,227.2 6,168.6 Equity securities available for sale............................................ 25.2 25.2 627.9 627.9 Mortgage loans.................................................................. 1,163.4 1,274.9 1,216.3 1,265.4 Policy loans.................................................................... 219.2 219.2 201.0 201.0 Short-term investments.......................................................... 896.7 896.7 291.9 291.9 Cash............................................................................ 42.5 42.5 36.1 36.1 Accrued investment income....................................................... 208.5 208.5 195.9 195.9 Financial liabilities: Other policyholder funds: Investment-type insurance contracts: With defined maturities..................................................... $ 400.0 $ 440.0 $ 667.0 $ 685.0 With no defined maturities.................................................. 3,031.0 2,967.0 3,013.0 2,948.0 Individual annuities and supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies................................................................ 81.4 81.4 84.6 84.6 Notes payable................................................................... 583.8 610.8 428.7 414.5 The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments: FIXED MATURITIES: Fair values for fixed maturities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality and maturity of the investments. EQUITY SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Fair values for equity securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices and are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at these values. MORTGAGE LOANS: Fair values for mortgage loans are estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for similar mortgage loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. Mortgage loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. POLICY LOANS, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS, CASH AND ACCRUED INVESTMENT INCOME: Fair values for these instruments approximate the carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. INVESTMENT-TYPE INSURANCE CONTRACTS: Fair values for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts with defined maturities are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations based on interest rates that would be offered currently for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. Fair values for liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts with no defined maturities are the amounts payable on demand after surrender charges at the balance sheet date. The estimated fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts (investment-type and other than investment-type) are taken into consideration in UNUM's overall management of interest rate risk, which minimizes exposure to changing interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts. 57 UNUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE 15. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) INDIVIDUAL ANNUITIES AND SUPPLEMENTARY CONTRACTS NOT INVOLVING LIFE CONTINGENCIES: Fair values approximate the carrying amounts reported in other policyholder funds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. NOTES PAYABLE: Fair values of short-term borrowings approximate the carrying amount. Fair values of long-term notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on UNUM's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION UNUM's markets for its insurance, special risk and retirement income products are the United States, its principal market, Canada, the United Kingdom and the Pacific Rim. Through its affiliates, UNUM is the leading provider of group long term disability insurance, its principal product, in the United States and the United Kingdom. Products are marketed through sales personnel, independent contractors and brokers, and specialty agents. UNUM targets sales of its disability products to executive, administrative and management personnel, and other professionals such as doctors, attorneys, accountants and engineers. To more clearly reflect UNUM's management of its businesses and to more appropriately group its product portfolios, UNUM began reporting its operations, effective January 1, 1995, principally in four business segments: Disability Insurance, Special Risk Insurance, Colonial Products and Retirement Products. For comparative purposes, prior period information has been restated to reflect reporting in these segments. The Disability Insurance segment includes disability products offered in North America, the United Kingdom and Japan including: group long term disability, individual disability, group short term disability, association group disability, disability reinsurance and long term care insurance. The Special Risk Insurance segment includes group life, special risk accident insurance, non-disability reinsurance operations, reinsurance underwriting management operations and other special risk insurance products. The Colonial Products segment includes Colonial Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries, which offer payroll-deducted, voluntary employee benefits including personal accident and sickness, cancer and life insurance products to employees at their worksites. The Retirements Products segment includes tax sheltered annuities and products which are no longer actively marketed by UNUM including guaranteed investment contracts, deposit administration accounts and 401(k) plans. Corporate includes transactions that are generally non-insurance related. Investment income and net realized investment gains are allocated to the segments based on designation of ownership of assets identified to the segments.
