NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(UNAUDITED)
Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,
they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In addition, these
accounting principles differ in certain material respects from the accounting
practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1995, contained in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain
items have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Premium revenue and related expenses
Premiums for traditional life insurance products are recorded as earned when
due. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums in order to
recognize profits over the contract terms in proportion to premiums earned. This
association is accomplished by the provision of a reserve for future policy
benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy acquisition
costs. The reserve for future policy benefits and the amortization of deferred
acquisition costs for traditional life insurance products are computed using the
net level premium method based on estimated future investment yield, mortality
and withdrawals.
Revenues for interest sensitive life policies and investment products consist of
mortality charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration fees and
surrender charges assessed to policy account balances.
7
8
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue represents the excess of premiums collected from policyholders
over the cost of providing insurance. This profit is amortized into income over
the life of the related insurance policy.
Deferred acquisition costs
The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions paid to agents and
other related policy issuance costs, are capitalized and amortized over the
policy term in proportion to related premium income for traditional life
insurance products and for interest sensitive life-type and investment contracts
over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the present value of
the estimated gross profits, which are comprised of net interest income, net
realized investment gains and losses, surrender charges, mortality margins and
policy administration fees and expenses. Amounts received from reinsurers
representing reimbursements of the costs of acquiring new business are deferred
and recognized over the policy term in proportion to related premiums paid to
reinsurers.
Deferred acquisition costs, net of accumulated amortization at March 31, 1996,
are summarized as follows:
Total amount capitalized .................. $ 5,740,054
Reimbursement due to reinsurance .......... (1,459,277)
-----------
$ 4,280,777
===========
Bonds
Bonds available for sale are carried at aggregate market value, with net
unrealized holding losses charged directly to shareholders' equity. The change
in net unrealized holding loss on bonds available for sale charged to
shareholders' equity was $29,160 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Realized gains and losses on the sale of bonds are recognized in operations at
the date of sale and are determined using the specific cost identification
method, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
Policy loans
Policy loans are recorded at the unpaid balance, less interest collected in
advance. Interest on policy loans is recognized using the effective interest
method.
8
9
Future policy benefits
Liabilities for future policy benefits for traditional life insurance products
have been computed on the net level premium method, based upon the following
estimated future investment yield, mortality and withdrawal assumptions:
Investment Yield - 9.9 percent to 13.6 percent annually over the
policy life of the Company's primary products.
Mortality Rates - Primarily based on 80 percent of the 1965-1970
Modified Basic Select and Ultimate Mortality Table.
Withdrawal Rates - Primarily based on Company experience.
Liabilities for interest sensitive life-type and investment contracts are stated
at policyholder account values (premiums received, plus interest credited less
withdrawals and charges for mortality and policy administration).
Income taxes
The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes" did not have a material effect on
the financial position or results of operations of the Company, in
the first three months of 1996
Earnings per share
Earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each year. The calculation of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding includes the effect of stock equivalents arising
from the Company's repurchase of its stock and the issuance of restricted stock.
Weighted average shares outstanding totaled 2,864,700, at March 31, 1996 and
1995. The impact of stock options was not dilutive.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
Results of Operations
The net loss in the first quarter of 1996 totaled $136,000 or $.05 per
share compared to a net loss of $15,000 or $.01 per share for the comparable
period of 1995.
The increase in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to the comparable period in 1995, is due primarily to an increase in
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs, an increase in net benefits
incurred, and a decrease in net unrealized investment gains. These factors were
partially offset by the decrease in operating costs and expenses.
During the first quarter of 1996 compared to the first quarter of 1995,
operating costs and expenses decreased by $154,000 due primarily to the
Company's restructuring program.
Net premiums and policy charges in the first quarter of 1996 decreased
to $150,000 from $166,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The Company has changed
its sales emphasis to annuities. The premiums shown on the Company's
consolidated statement of operations in accordance with GAAP consist of premiums
received for traditional whole-life and term life insurance products. Premiums
collected by the Company for interest sensitive whole-life, and single and
flexible premium deferred annuities are not reported as premium revenues, but
rather are reported as policy liabilities. With respect to these products,
revenues are recognized over time in the form of investment income on invested
funds, surrender charges and mortality and other charges deducted from the
policyholders' account balances. The deposit-type funds (premiums) collected by
the Company for annuities (on a statutory accounting basis as set forth in the
Company's statutory financial statements filed with state insurance departments)
were $1,992,000 in the first quarter of 1996, and $383,000 in the first quarter
of 1995.
There were no net unrealized investment gains or losses in the first
quarter of 1996, as the Company reclassified its bonds held for trading to bonds
available for sale thereby placing all of its bonds in the same category.
Revenues from interest sensitive life policies, consisting of mortality
charges, policy administration fees and surrender charges assessed to policy
account values decreased to $152,000 in the first quarter of 1996 from $192,000
in the first quarter of 1995.
10
11
Interest on policy loans and net investment income increased to
$329,000 in the first quarter of 1996 from $290,000 in the first quarter of
1995.
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs increased primarily due to
revised assumptions included in estimates of future gross profits relating to
investment and mortality margins based upon actual experience for the Company's
interest sensitive life products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's investments in policy loans tends to enhance liquidity,
since liabilities of the Company on surrenders of whole- life paid-up at age 70
or 80 policies can be satisfied largely through the discharge of the policy
loan, with very little net cash outflow.
Management considers its liquidity position to be adequate. The Company
does not invest in high-risk bonds, it keeps tight controls on expenditures, and
its products are structured in such a way that commission expenses and policy
loans are usually less than premium revenues, reinsurance allowances and
interest on policy loans paid in advance. Developing and writing new life
insurance, however, can result in a reduction of statutory capital and surplus
because the Company establishes statutory reserves for future policy benefits
and incurs a noncash liability for unearned policy loan interest that exceeds
the premium revenue associated with the new policy. JALIC's statutory capital
and surplus at March 31, 1996, was $2,003,646.
The amount of dividends that may be paid by JALIC to its parent is
limited by insurance statutes and regulations and certain special federal income
tax provisions applicable to insurance companies.
