REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Delta Life Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Life Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Delta Life Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS: ORGANIZATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Delta Life Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Delta Life and Annuity Company (DLAC), Delta Mortgage Services, Inc. (DMS), and other wholly-owned subsidiaries. DLAC includes its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Life Securities, Inc. (DLS). DLAC's consolidated financial statements also include the results of operations through October 31, 1996 of Shelby Life Insurance Company (Shelby). Effective October 31, 1996, DLAC sold all of the outstanding common stock of Shelby (see Note 3). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles. Such accounting principles differ from statutory reporting practices used by insurance companies in reporting to state regulatory authorities. 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. NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Company is a holding company which specializes in the sale of annuity insurance products through its principal operating subsidiary, DLAC. DLAC sells its products through a network of independent agents and is licensed in 48 states. During 1996, sales in Arkansas, California, Tennessee and Texas composed over 1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED: NATURE OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED half of DLAC's total sales. DLAC's annuity products (fixed premium annuities and equity indexed annuities) consist primarily of tax sheltered annuities (TSA's), individual retirement accounts (IRA's) which include initial investments as well as rollovers, other tax qualified plans including 401(k) and 401(a) plans and individual non-qualified annuities. The operating results of companies in the insurance industry have historically been subject to significant fluctuations due to competition, economic conditions, interest rates, investment performance, maintenance of insurance ratings, regulations and taxation, and other factors. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: DEBT SECURITIES In accordance with SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, the Company's investments have been classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. Securities classified into the held-to-maturity category are accounted for at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts, and when necessary, declines in value considered to be other than temporary. It is management's intention to hold securities classified as held-to-maturity under all reasonably foreseeable conditions. Securities in the available-for-sale category are carried at fair value, with changes in the fair value being accounted for as a component of stockholders' equity or included in policyholder account balances. The Company has no trading account securities. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: CONVENTIONAL MORTGAGE LOANS Conventional first mortgage loans are carried at amortized cost less an allowance for possible loan losses. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES During 1995, the Company adopted SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The impact of adopting SFAS 114 has not been significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is periodically evaluated by the Company in order to maintain the allowance at a level that is sufficient to absorb probable credit losses. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a review of the Company's historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, including adverse circumstances that may affect the ability of the borrower to repay interest and/or principal, the estimated value of collateral, current economic conditions and other pertinent factors. The allowance for credit losses is established through charges as investment expenses in the form of a provision for possible loan losses. REAL ESTATE Real estate, which is comprised of real estate acquired in settlement of loans and land acquired for a home office location, DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: REAL ESTATE, CONTINUED is carried at the lower of cost (carrying value at the date of acquisition) or net realizable value as determined by management's evaluation and third party appraisals. Subsequent costs directly related to the completion of construction or improvement of the real estate are capitalized to the extent realizable. Gains and losses on the sale of real estate are recognized upon disposition of the property. Carrying costs, such as maintenance, interest and taxes are charged to operations as incurred. POLICY LOANS Policy loans are recorded at cost. REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded at cost. The Company purchases U.S. Government securities under agreements to resell within one to five days. Due to the short-term nature of the agreements, the Company does not take possession of such securities. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents, with the exception of reverse repurchase agreements which are considered an investment. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS Policy acquisition costs (principally commissions incurred at policy issuance, premium taxes and certain sales, issue and DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS, CONTINUED underwriting expenses) associated with new annuity and life business are deferred when incurred. The costs accrue interest and are amortized at a constant rate based on the present value of the estimated gross profits expected to be realized over the life of the contracts. Estimates of expected gross profit are evaluated periodically, and the total amortization recorded to date is adjusted by a charge or credit to current amortization if actual experience or other evidence suggest that earlier estimates should be revised. The effect of such changes in estimates was to increase amortization during 1996, 1995 and 1994 by approximately $3,134, $1,940 and $174, respectively. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of five years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are relieved and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $4,875 and $3,246, respectively. REINSURANCE Reinsurance premiums, claims and claim adjustment expenses are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: REVENUE AND POLICY LIABILITIES Premiums received on annuity and life deposit (investment and universal life-type contracts) are recorded as deposits into the policyholder's account balance. Revenue related to these contracts consists of earnings from the invested deposits and applicable mortality, withdrawal and administrative charges. These deposits consist of the policyholders' account balances plus realized and unrealized gains and losses allocated to policyholders. The policyholders' account balances include amounts deposited by the policyholders plus interest credited to the policy, less withdrawals by the policyholder and less any sales, mortality and administrative charges deducted by the Company. Most of the Company's contracts entitle policyholders to the net statutory investment earnings rate less a contractual management fee. As realized capital gains and losses are deferred for statutory purposes these amounts are not currently credited to policyholders' account balances. However, deposits include a reserve for realized gains and losses that will be credited to policyholders over the original estimated lives of the assets sold. Premiums received on annuity policy liabilities (limited-payment contracts) are recognized as revenue when received. Policy liabilities are computed using the present value of future benefits using assumptions as to investment yields, mortality and expenses at the date of issue. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS The Company sells U.S. Government securities under repurchase agreements to buy back such securities within one to five days. Due to the short-term nature of the agreements, the Company does not relinquish possession of such securities. These agreements are recorded at cost. INCOME TAXES Prior to 1996, the Company and its non-life subsidiaries filed a consolidated federal income tax return; and DLAC, DLS and Shelby each filed separate federal income tax returns. For 1996, the Company and all of its consolidated subsidiaries will file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Additionally, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FEE INCOME Fee income is comprised generally of policy fees and withdrawal penalties on annuity contracts and is recorded as earned. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED: PURCHASED OPTION CONTRACTS Derivative financial instruments, in the form of purchased option contracts, are utilized by the Company to hedge the anticipated appreciation on its index linked annuity deposits. These option contracts are recorded at amortized value. The option contract premium is amortized to guaranteed value over the life of the option using the straight line method. The guaranteed value is reset at each anniversary date according to the payoff structure of the option contract. Amortization of the option premium is recorded as part of interest income. Gains and losses on option terminations, which are the result of policy surrenders, are recognized as realized capital gains and losses in the current period. The Company's investment in purchased option contracts are initiated within the guidelines of documented corporate policies and do not create interest rate risk because income recognized on the option contracts will be offset by expenses on the deposit liabilities being hedged. The notional amounts of the purchased option contracts do not represent amounts exchanged with counterparties and thus are not a measure of the exposure of the Company through its use of option contracts. The Company has taken certain steps to minimize credit risk with purchased option contracts for the unrealized gains in such contracts if the counterparty is unable to perform under the contract. The counterparties are major financial institutions with investment grade or better ratings. Additionally, the Company requires collateral from each counterparty once a predetermined unsecured threshold amount is exceeded. The fair value of collateral pledged and deposited at December 31, 1996 was $9,519.

SHELBY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY: As a result of the 1994 acquisition of Shelby, the Company established an asset for the present value of future profits (PVFP) of insurance purchased. PVFP represents the present value of the anticipated annual profits of the business in force (principally annuity contracts) on the date of acquisition, net of purchase accounting adjustments. The PVFP is amortized over the life of the business in proportion to estimated gross profits for deferred annuities and gross premiums for traditional life. The portion of PVFP attributable to the purchase accounting adjustments is amortized over the average remaining term of the investments purchased and is included in investment income. Progression of the PVFP for the period ended October 31, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995 is as follows: 1996 1995 ---- ---- Beginning balance $ 4,623 $ 3,980 Amortization related to future profits (225) (1,031) Amortization related to purchase accounting adjustments 556 1,674 Balance at October 31, 1996, date of sale (4,954) --------- --------- Ending balance $ - $ 4,623 ========= ========= DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 3.

Consequently, no valuation allowance was deemed necessary. The Company's effective income tax rate varied from the federal statutory income rate due primarily to state income taxes, net of the federal income tax benefit. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 5. INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED: Under pre-1984 life insurance company tax laws, a portion of DLAC's gain from operations which was not subject to current income taxation was accumulated for tax purposes in a memorandum account designated as Policyholders' Surplus. The aggregate accumulation in this account at December 31, 1996, was $1,763. Should the accumulation in the Policyholders' Surplus account of the life insurance subsidiary exceed certain stated maximums, or should distributions including cash dividends be made from DLAC to Delta Life Corporation in excess of approximately $19,000, such excess would be subject to federal income taxes at rates then effective. Deferred taxes have not been provided on amounts designated as Policyholders' Surplus. The Company does not anticipate involuntarily paying tax on amounts in the Policyholders' Surplus accounts. 6. NOTES PAYABLE: During 1996, the notes payable to banks were amended to increase the available line of credit from $37,500 to $40,000. The notes represent a revolving line of credit which allow for revolving draws and require principal repayments beginning March 1999 in sixteen equal quarterly installments through December 2002. All borrowings under the notes payable are collateralized by the common stock of DLAC. The Company has the option to select a variable rate based on the 30 or 90 day Eurodollar rate or the banks' base rate. Additionally, the Company may fix the interest rate on a portion of the loan at negotiated rates with the banks. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 6. NOTES PAYABLE, CONTINUED: During 1994, $10,500 of the amount outstanding under the notes was fixed at a rate of 7.65%. Per the agreement, this fixed amount must be repaid in sixteen equal principal installments of $656 beginning in March 1996. The principal payments may be redrawn against the available line at current variable rates. At December 31, 1996, $7,875 of the outstanding fixed rate draw remains, at a rate of 7.65%. The remaining balance of $14,825 is subject to a variable interest rate that is currently 7.36719%. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, the most significant of which requires the Company to maintain a net worth of not less than the previous years net worth plus 50% of earnings for such year, minimum annual earnings of $5,500, a percentage of total debt to equity plus allowance for possible loan losses of not more than 33% and certain interest coverage and cash flow coverage ratios. Additionally, DLAC must maintain, at all times, total statutory capital and surplus in excess of 150% of its calculated National Association of Insurance Commissioners Risk Based Capital, total statutory capital and surplus (including the Asset Valuation Reserve) to total assets of 5% and maintain 70% or greater of invested assets in securities issued, secured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, government agencies or instrumentalities, 25% or less of admitted assets in mortgage loans and 30% or less of admitted assets in investment grade securities of corporations.

STOCK OPTION AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLANS, CONTINUED: The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock plans. SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) was issued and, if fully adopted, changes the methods for recognition of expense on plans similar to those of the Company. Adoption of the accounting provisions of SFAS 123 for grants to employees is optional; however, proforma disclosures as if the Company adopted the expense recognition requirements under SFAS 123 are required. Accordingly, had compensation cost for the Company's 1996 and 1995 grants for employee stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net income and net income per share would approximate the proforma amounts below: 1996 1995 ----------------- ----------------- As Pro As Pro Reported Forma Reported Forma -------- ------ ------- ------ Net income $7,641 $7,538 $5,202 $5,098 Net income per share $3.13 $3.09 $2.33 $2.29 During 1996, the Company adopted the expense recognition requirements of SFAS 123 as it relates to stock option grants to non-employees. Of the total stock options of 86,050 granted during 1996, non-employee grants amounted to 36,100. During 1996, the Company recognized compensation cost of approximately $118 related to these grants. The total compensation cost related to non-employee grants during 1995, had such costs been recorded, would have amounted to approximately $80. The costs of non-employee grants are included in policy acquisition costs for 1996. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 9. Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans, continued: For all stock option grants the fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the minimum value model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995: 1996 1995 ---- ---- Dividend yield 0% 0% Risk-free interest rate 6.30% 5.37% Expected lives 5 years 5 years Option minimum value $16.46 $11.99 The effects of applying SFAS 123 in the pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts. SFAS 123 does not apply to awards prior to 1995, and additional awards in future years are anticipated. 10. REINSURANCE: In the ordinary course of business, both DLAC and Shelby cede reinsurance to other insurers under various contracts that cover individual risks or entire classes of business. These arrangements limit the risk arising from large policies. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve DLAC or Shelby from their obligations to policyholders. A contingent liability exists for reinsurance ceded which would become a liability of DLAC or Shelby in the event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 10. REINSURANCE, CONTINUED: DLAC's maximum amount of life insurance retained on any single life contract is $30. Shelby's maximum retention was $100 of coverage per individual life. During 1996, DLAC entered into a three year agreement to cede fifty percent of its index annuity reserves. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the years then ended, the impact on the consolidated financial statements due to all ceded reinsurance agreements in force during the year was as follows: 1996 1995 ----------------- -------------- DLAC Shelby DLAC Shelby ---- ------ ----- ------ Premiums $ 49,364 $ 904 $ 80 $1,335 Incurred benefits 190 905 1,062 Commissions and other expenses 4,300 256 334 At December 31, 1996, ceded reserves of $49,070 were associated with a single reinsurer. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurer and manages all assets related to the ceded business which are held in a trust to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 11. Commitments and contingencies: GUARANTEED RATES The Company assumes investment risk on contracts it issues by guaranteeing the principal value of policyholders' accounts plus a minimum interest rate. The first year the policy is in force, the guaranteed interest rate is slightly lower than the anticipated initial crediting rate. After the first year, the guaranteed interest rate is either 4% or 3.5% depending upon the particular contract form. In addition, each year the Company sets an annual guaranteed interest rate which must be credited for that calendar year to all of the cash values of annuity contracts currently in force. On January 1, 1997, the Company established minimum rates for the calendar year 1997 ranging from 3.5% to 4% depending upon the particular contract form. MORTGAGE LOAN COMMITMENTS At December 31, 1996, the Company has outstanding commitments to fund mortgage loans on real estate. These commitments totaled $4,345 at interest rates ranging from 8.3% to 8.55%. INVESTMENT PURCHASE COMMITMENTS At December 31, 1996, the Company has made commitments to purchase approximately $12,129 of mortgage backed securities at rates of 6.25% and 7.55%. OPERATING LEASE The Company leases office space under an operating lease expiring in January, 1999. At December 31, 1996, minimum rentals due under the lease were as follows: DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED: Year Amount ---- ----- 1997 $ 646 1998 646 1999 53 ------ $1,345 ====== Rent expense related to the operating lease was approximately $615, $552 and $457, for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS The Company has entered into employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer expiring December 31, 2001 and June 30, 1998, respectively. The agreements provide for payment of salary, bonus and the maximum contribution to the Company's 401(k) profit sharing plan upon termination of such officers for five years for the Chief Executive Officer and three years for the Chief Operating Officer. The aggregate commitment should these employees be terminated is approximately $3,547. Additionally, the Company has entered into employment agreements with certain officers which expire December 31, 1997. The agreements are only effective if employment is terminated as a result of a change in control of the Company as defined in the agreements. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED: INCOME TAXES During 1995, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a proposed adjustment notice primarily related to DLAC's 1992 deduction for the termination of its reinsurance agreement during that year and certain deductions for internally developed software for 1991 through 1993. The total adjustments proposed by the IRS amount to approximately $5,300. The proposed adjustment is currently being reviewed by an appeals officer. The Company does not believe that this issue will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. GUARANTY FUND Under insurance guaranty fund laws, in most states, insurance companies doing business therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The Company does not believe such assessments will be materially different from amounts already provided for in the financial statements. Most of these laws do provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own financial strength. STATUTORY CAPITAL AND SURPLUS Under Tennessee statute, DLAC is required to maintain certain statutory capital and surplus amounts and cannot declare dividends which exceed certain criteria. During 1996 and 1995, DLAC was in compliance with these provisions. Additionally, the maximum dividend which may be paid to the Company by DLAC in 1997 without prior consent of the Tennessee Commissioner of Insurance is approximately $8,740. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 12. CONCENTRATION OF RISK: CREDIT RISK Approximately $206,907 and $202,359 in 1996 and 1995, respectively, of mortgage loans on real estate are located in Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Michigan and Texas. Repayment of these loans is in part dependent upon the general economic conditions in the respective geographic areas. The maximum percentage of any one loan to the value of collateral at the origination of the loan is 75 percent. The Company has credit-related exposure to its counterparties for their performance of the option contract; however, that risk is minimized by the depositing of collateral by the counterparty based on the market value of outstanding option contracts. Each counterparty is required to deposit collateral once a predetermined unsecured threshold amount is exceeded. The threshold is tied to the long-term debt credit ratings of the counterparty. The collateral consists of United States Treasury securities or cash. At December 31, 1996, uncollateralized option contracts were approximately $1,141. REINVESTMENT RISK At December 31, 1996 and 1995, investments in mortgage backed securities amounted to approximately $1,344,442 and $1,294,558, respectively, and mortgage loans on real estate amounted to approximately $249,399 and $233,697, respectively. Prepayments of the underlying mortgages may shorten the life of the investment, thereby adversely affecting yield to maturity. Additionally, prepayments and maturities subject the Company to the risk that the funds may not be able to be reinvested in instruments with similar yields as those that matured or prepaid.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOWS INFORMATION: Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flows Information 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- Cash paid during the year for: Interest $ 1,686 $ 1,252 $ 1,240 Income taxes $ 1,758 $ 1,565 $ 1,157 Supplemental Schedule of Noncash Investing and Financing Activities As part of the sale of Shelby during 1996, DLAC received 250,000 shares of restricted stock of the acquiring company with a value of $1,250 (see Note 3). During February 1995, the Board of Directors awarded 10,000 shares of common stock Class A to the Company's Chief Executive Officer which will vest prorata over five years. The unearned compensation amounted to $520. During 1995, the Company foreclosed mortgages amounting to approximately $3,400. The properties were transferred to real estate held for sale. As discussed in Note 4, during 1995 the Company reclassified certain investments in accordance with the one-time amnesty provisions for SFAS 115 purposes. The 1995 financial statements include the following noncash adjustments for the one-time reclasses: Increase -------- Investments $ 10,630 Policy liabilities 9,693 Deferred federal income taxes 319 Stockholders' equity 618 DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 13.

ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for financial instruments are management's estimate of the values at which the instrument could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the fair value disclosure requirement of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Therefore, the fair values presented should not be construed as the underlying value of the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accrued investment income, accounts receivable and payable and mortgage backed securities receivable approximate fair DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 14. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED: value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As policy loans have no stated maturity and are often repaid by account withdrawals or surrenders, it is not practical to estimate their fair values. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument in which it is possible to estimate that value and fair value does not approximate carrying value. DEBT SECURITIES The fair value of debt securities are determined primarily by reference to a pricing service or the dealer market. CONVENTIONAL MORTGAGE LOANS Management considers the loans to be a homogeneous category consisting primarily of commercial mortgages. The fair value of conventional first mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which loans with similar maturities would currently be originated by the Company and current estimated prepayment factors. ANNUITY AND LIFE DEPOSITS The fair value of these contracts is estimated as the policyholder's net cash surrender value which the policyholder may withdraw at their option. DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 14. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED: NOTES PAYABLE As the variable rate portion of the notes payable to bank is a revolving line of credit at current rates available to the Company, the fair value of the debt approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the fixed rate portion of the outstanding balance is based upon the discounted amount of future cash flows using the Company's incremental rate of borrowing for a similar liability. PURCHASED OPTION CONTRACTS The fair value of purchased option contracts are determined primarily by reference to the dealer market. The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments at December 1996 and 1995 are as follows: 1996 1995 -------------------- -------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value -------- ------ --------- ------- Debt securities $ 1,437,299 $ 1,426,364 $ 1,406,907 $ 1,415,698 Conventional mortgage loans 249,399 259,685 233,697 254,000 Purchased option contracts 8,422 11,369 - - Annuity deposits 1,736,856 1,669,549 1,619,496 1,548,766 Life deposits 16,092 15,661 39,281 35,644 Notes Payable 22,700 22,720 20,400 20,700 DELTA LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 15. FUTURE ADOPTION OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 (SFAS 125), Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), Earnings per Share, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129 (SFAS 129), Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure. SFAS 125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. SFAS 125 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure and applies to all entities. Based upon the current circumstances, the Company believes the impact of these standards, when adopted on January 1, 1997, will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
