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 $49,021,825 at March 31,
1996. Annual amounts due to the Company were as follows:
1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001-2006
--------------------------------------------
Collateral loans receivable $2.1 $3.1 $2.8 $3.6 $6.0 $31.4
(in millions)
The Company's funds for financing the Programs are currently obtained through
Loan Agreements with its affiliates, Chubb Colonial Life Insurance Company of
America ("Colonial") (formerly known as The Colonial Life Insurance Company of
America) 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 March 31, 1996 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. If the Company is unable to obtain loans from
affiliates at favorable market rates, the Company's borrowing costs will
increase. The Company's Loan Agreements state, however, that 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 March 31, 1996 was 6.65% and 6.58%
for the same period in 1995.
2 of 13
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. Therefore, as the Company's loans mature, new loans
are extended for a period agreed upon by the Company and its affiliates. In the
event the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining financing from its affiliates,
the Company will explore alternative financing arrangements with non- affiliated
companies. If the Company is unable to obtain financing from any source
(affiliated and non-affiliated), the Programs will be terminated, the
Participants must then pay their loans to the Company, and the Company will
repay the Lenders in turn.
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 March 31, 1996 were
$46,000,000 compared to $40,500,000 at March 31, 1995. Funds borrowed at March
31, 1996 represent $26,000,000 from Colonial and $20,000,000 from Chubb Life.
At March 31, 1995 funds borrowed represented $26,000,000 from Colonial and
$6,900,000 from Chubb Life. The increase in amounts borrowed by the Company
year to year was used to fund the growth in premium loans 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 and reasonable 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 1996 and 1995 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 March 31, 1996 with net operating income
of $35,251 as compared to net operating income of $60,400 in 1995.
Total revenues through March 31, 1996 were $1,190,216 versus $1,069,492 in 1995.
These revenues include interest on collateral loans receivable, program fees,
and interest on investments. 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. Collateral loans receivable as of March 31, 1996
were $49,021,825 as compared to $41,878,309 in 1995. Comparatively, collateral
loan interest was $1,036,658 and, $927,465 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996
and 1995. The average interest rate charged to each Participant's outstanding
loan balance was 8.95% and 9.25% for the first three months of 1996 and 1995.
The Company's collateral loans receivable, collateral loan interest and average
interest rate charged to each Participant's loan balance at March 31, 1996 and
1995 are summarized as follows:
1996 1995
---- ----
Collateral loans receivable $49,021,825 $41,878,309
Collateral loan interest income $ 1,036,658 $ 927,465
Average loan Interest rate 8.95% 9.25%
4 of 13
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 three months ended March 31 are summarized as follows:
1996 1995
---- ----
Loans payable $49,021,825 $40,141,682
Interest expense $ 718,199 $ 639,120
Average loan interest rate 6.65% 6.58%
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 March 31, 1996, were $417,784 as compared to
$337,448 in 1995.
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 transactions processed
by the Company has grown. Program fees include placement, administrative and
termination fees as well as charges for special services. For the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 the number of programs administered by the Company
were 6,413 and 6,600, respectively.
Investment income earned by the Company decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995
due to changes in the level of cash and investments held year to year.
Substantially all general and administrative expenses are allocated to the
Company by the Service Company. These include the costs associated with
providing staff and facilities to service the Programs and includes such items
as salaries, rent, utilities, accounting fees, printing, postage and other
typical operating expenses.
