and results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company offers investment programs (the "Programs") which coordinate the
acquisition of mutual fund shares and insurance over a period of time, usually
ten years. Under the Programs, purchasers of the program ("Participants")
purchase life and health insurance from affiliated insurance companies (the
"Insurance Companies") and finance the premiums through a series of loans
secured by mutual fund shares. Upon issuance of a policy by an Insurance
Company, the Company makes a loan to the Participant in an amount equal to the
selected premium mode. As each premium becomes due, if not paid in cash, a new
loan equal to the next premium and administrative fee is made and added to the
Participant's account indebtedness ("Account Indebtedness"). Thus, interest, as
well as principal, is borrowed and mutual fund shares are pledged as collateral.
Each loan made by the Company must initially be secured by mutual fund shares
which have a value of at least 250% of the loan, except for the initial premium
loan of Programs using certain no-load funds, where the collateral requirement
is 1800%. In addition, the aggregate value of all mutual fund shares pledged as
collateral must be at least 150% of the Participant's total Account
Indebtedness. If the value of the shares pledged to the Company declines below
130% of the Company's indebtedness, the Company will terminate the Programs and
liquidate shares sufficient to repay the indebtedness.
Collateral loans receivable from Participants were $45,199,275 at September 30,
1995. Annual amounts due to the Company were as follows:
1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000-2005
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------
Collateral loans receivable $.4 $2.7 $2.9 $2.7 $3.5 $31.0
(in millions)
The Company's funds for financing the Programs are currently obtained through
Loan Agreements with its affiliates, The Colonial Life Insurance Company of
America ("Colonial") and Chubb Life Insurance Company of America ("Chubb Life").
The Loan Agreements provide for revolving credit arrangements under which
advances will be made to the Company in amounts not to exceed $29,000,000 from
Colonial and $20,000,000 from Chubb Life. The advances are currently short term
in nature, as none of the loans outstanding as of September 30, 1995 exceeded
365 days to maturity. The advances are made at short-term lending rates agreed
upon by the Company and its lenders and are subject to change in accordance with
the Loan Agreements and market conditions. However, the interest rate may not
exceed the prime interest rate in effect in New York City plus 2.5%. The
average lending rate on these loans at September 30, 1995 was 6.71% and 3.94%
for the same period in 1994.
2 of 9
The continuance of the Program is dependent upon the Company's ability to
provide, or arrange for the financing of insurance premiums for Participants.
Since 1989, such financing has been available from its affiliates, Colonial and
Chubb Life. The Company expects that it will be able to obtain this financing
for the foreseeable future.
The Company may also borrow funds from non-affiliated companies. There is no
assurance that the Company may obtain financing from non-affiliated companies
upon terms, conditions and rates as favorable as those from affiliated
companies. If the Company is unable to borrow funds in the future or continue to
borrow funds under its Loan Agreements for the purpose of financing loans to
Participants for the payment of insurance premiums, it may not be able to
continue the sale of the Programs.
Although the Company's present financing arrangements with its lenders do not
include the assignment of a Participant's mutual fund shares to the lender as
security, the Loan Agreements do authorize the Company to assign a Participant's
mutual fund shares to any lender as collateral security for the Company's
indebtedness pursuant to any financing arrangements. If any such assignment
takes place and the Company subsequently defaults on an obligation for which the
participant's mutual fund shares have been pledged as security, the mutual fund
shares may be redeemed by the lender to whom the obligation is owed. A lender
may cease to provide financing if the Company is in default under its Loan
Agreements. In this case, Programs will be terminated on their renewal dates.
The amount of funds borrowed under the Agreements at September 30, 1995 were
$42,500,000 compared to $37,000,000 at September 30, 1994. Funds borrowed at
September 30, 1995 represent $26,000,000 from Colonial and $16,500,000 from
Chubb Life. At September 30, 1994 funds borrowed represented $26,000,000 from
Colonial and $11,000,000 from Chubb Life. The increase in amounts borrowed by
the Company year to year was used to fund increased sales of Programs and for
other working capital needs.
In addition to loans payable, the Company has other short-term amounts due to
affiliates related to insurance premium payments and expense reimbursements to
Chubb America Service Corporation ("Service Company"). The Company has an
arrangement with affiliated Insurance Companies whereby the Company makes
monthly payments in arrears for premiums due. Reimbursements to the Service
Company are also made one month in arrears and are included in amounts due to
affiliates.
The Service Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Corporation, is a
management service company which provides employee services and office
facilities to the Company and its affiliates under a Service Agreement. The
Company pays the Service Company a monthly fee in accordance with mutually
agreed upon cost allocation methods which the Companies believe reflect a
proportional allocation of common expenses and are commensurate for the
performance of the applicable duties.
Working capital in 1995 and 1994 was provided by Participants' loan repayments,
administrative fees for the placement and maintenance of Programs and interest
earned on investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company concluded the quarter ended September 30, 1995 with net operating
income of $186,883 as compared to net operating income of $427,393 in 1994.
Total revenues through September 30, 1995 were $3,286,126 versus $2,625,784 in
1994. These revenues include interest on collateral loans receivable, program
fees, interest on investments and partnership income. The largest source of
revenue was represented by interest on collateral loans receivable.
The growth in collateral loan interest resulted from the increase in collateral
loans receivable year to year and an increase in the lending interest rate.
Collateral loans receivable as of September 30, 1995 were $45,199,275 as
compared to $38,710,372 in 1994. Comparatively, collateral loan interest was
$2,873,198 and $2,248,776 for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.
The average interest rate charged to each Participant's outstanding loan balance
was 9.25% and 8.50% for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994.
The Company's collateral loans receivable, collateral loan interest and average
interest rate charged to each Participant's loan balance at September 30, 1995
and 1995 are summarized as follows:
1995 1994
------------ ------------
Collateral loans receivable $45,199,275 $38,710,372
Collateral loan interest income $ 2,873,198 $ 2,248,776
Average loan Interest rate 9.25% 8.50%
4 of 9
Interest expense on the Loan Agreements increased in 1995 as compared to 1994
due to increases in interest rates and amounts borrowed by the Company. The
Company's outstanding loans payable, interest expense and average cost of
borrowings for the nine months ended September 30 are summarized as follows:
1995 1994
------------ ------------
Loans payable $41,897,991 $36,458,641
Interest expense $ 2,010,729 $ 974,602
Average loan interest rate 6.71% 3.94%
The Company's ability to achieve and maintain a spread between its cost of funds
necessary to finance premium loans and the lending rate charged to Program
Participants may impact its future operating results. The interest rate spread
is intended to provide sufficient revenue to offset the Company's general and
administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses, arising from
normal operating activities through September 30, 1995, were $987,885 as
compared to $993,654 in 1994.
The Company may increase the interest rate charged to Participants to a maximum
of the prime interest rate plus 3% as its cost of borrowing increases. If the
Company's cost of borrowing were to rise significantly above the prime interest
rate, its ability to maintain an adequate interest rate spread would be
difficult and future earnings could be adversely impacted.
Program fees increased year to year as the number of programs administered by
the Company have grown. Program fees include placement, administrative and
termination fees as well as charges for special services. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 the number of programs administered by the
Company were 6,564 and 6,528, respectively.
Investment income earned by the Company increased in 1995 as compared to 1994
due to changes in the level of cash and investments held year to year and the
increase in short-term interest rates.
The Company has franchise agreements with Chubb Life which provide that the
Company will be paid amounts required for its continued operations as
compensation for its services in providing and making the Programs available for
use. The Company did not receive any franchise fees in 1994 and does not
expect to receive any fees in 1995.
