                   PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPANY PROFILE

Hampshire Funding, Inc. (the "Company") administers investment programs
("Programs") which coordinate the acquisition of mutual fund shares and
insurance over a period of ten years. Under the Programs, Participants purchase
life and health insurance from affiliated 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. The Program loan percentage rate charged
to Participants was 7.75% through September 30, 2002, but subsequently decreased
to 7.25% on November 7, 2002. 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 180%. 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 Account Indebtedness, the Company will
terminate the Programs and liquidate shares sufficient to repay the
indebtedness.

Effective March 31, 1998, the Company discontinued the sale of Programs. The
Company, however, will continue to make premium loans to current Participants
and administer all Programs until their stated maturity or termination dates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement
(the "Agreement") with Preferred Receivables Funding Corporation ("PREFCO"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Bank One, formerly First National Bank of Chicago,
(the "Bank").

The Agreement provides for the initial and periodic purchase of the Company's
collateral loans receivable by PREFCO or other investors (for which the Bank
serves as agent). On July 24, 2002 the Agreement was amended to extend the
termination date to July 23, 2003. On October 21, 2001 the Agreement was
amended, increasing the Purchase Fee Percentage paid by the Company from 0.225%
to 0.26%. Additionally, the Events of Default were amended, increasing the
number of consecutive business days that Under Collateralized Receivables may
exceed 1.5% and eliminating the restriction on the percentage of Collateral
Deficient Receivables. On August 9, 2002 the Company received a Waiver for
exceeding this percentage of Under Collateralized Receivables occurrence during
the period July 25, 2002 through July 29, 2002. The Company anticipates the
termination date will be extended under the provisions of the Agreement. PREFCO
finances purchases of the Company's collateral loans receivables through the
issuance of commercial paper (variable interest obligations).

When the Company sells loans, it retains interest-only strips, servicing rights,
and 5% of each loan sold, all of which are the retained interest in the
securitized receivables. Interest-only strips represent the Company's right to
interest in excess of the sum paid to PREFCO. As of September 30, 2002, the
Company had sold aggregate loans of $29,364,097 and has retained a subordinated
interest and servicing rights in the assets transferred aggregating $9,529,443
compared to $8,327,384 at December 31, 2001. The increase is due to increased
spreads in interest only strip and servicing asset. The cash flows related to
the repayment of loans is first used to satisfy all principal and variable
interest rate obligations due to PREFCO, investors or the Bank. The retained
interest represents the fair value of the Company's future cash flows and
obligations that it will receive after all investor obligations are met.

The Company is responsible for servicing, managing and collecting all
receivables and loan repayments, monitoring the underlying collateral and
reporting all activity to the Bank for which it receives an annual service fee
(collected monthly in arrears) calculated as 2% of outstanding receivables. The
Company received $410,551 and $624,543 in service fees for the period ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.


                                       8

<Page>

As servicing agent for the loans sold, the Company collected loan prepayments of
$7,228,135 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 and $8,509,597 for the
same period in 2001, which were paid to PREFCO (one month in arrears) to satisfy
principal and variable interest obligation due. The Company originated new loans
of $2,593,121 and $3,758,308 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively, which were sold to PREFCO.

The Agreement includes a Performance Guarantee by Jefferson-Pilot Corporation
that the Company will service the receivables sold and administer all aspects of
the Programs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The
Performance Guarantee contains restrictions on the debt of the Guarantor and the
collateral value monitored by the Company.

During 1998, the Company entered into an intercompany loan agreement with
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation whereby it may borrow funds for working capital
needs at short-term interest rates. At September 30, 2002 the Company had
borrowed $932,919 compared to $845,571 at December 31, 2001.

The continuance of the Program is dependent upon the Company's ability to
arrange for the sale of collateral notes receivable or provide for the financing
of insurance premiums for Participants. The Company expects that it will be able
to continue to sell its collateral notes receivables or arrange for other
financing for the foreseeable future.

If the Company is unable to sell its collateral notes receivable or borrow funds
in the future for the purpose of financing loans to Participants for the payment
of insurance premiums, the Programs may be subject to termination.

If the Company subsequently defaults on its Agreement with PREFCO for which the
Participant's mutual fund shares have been pledged as security, the mutual fund
shares may be redeemed by PREFCO (or its agent) and the Programs will be
terminated on their renewal dates.

The Company's liabilities include amounts due to affiliates for premium loans,
due to parent, due to JP Life for expense reimbursements and pay downs due to
PREFCO.

JP Life, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation, provides
employee services and office facilities to the Company and its affiliates under
a Service Agreement. The Company pays JP Life 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 the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 was provided by servicing
fees from collateral loans sold, loans from Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and
interest earned on investments.

The Company changed certain of its assumptions supporting the valuation of its
interests retained from loan sales. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company has
increased its estimate of early terminations from 26% to 30% to better reflect
the Company's actual experience. In 1999, the Company reduced the discount rate
used to value its retained interests from 17% to 15%, which Management believes
better reflects the risks associated with the securitized assets. Management
continually evaluates the appropriateness of these assumptions in the light of
current economic conditions and actual termination rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company concluded the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2002 with
net income of $140,320 and $545,251, respectively, as compared to net income of
$170,828 and $574,014 for the same periods in 2001.

Total revenues for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2002 were
$255,667 and $926,812, respectively, versus $323,007 and $1,032,037 for the same
periods in 2001. The Company's revenues are derived from program



                                       9

fees; income on its retained interest in the loans sold to investors, and
realized gains. Although the Company's retained interest and income on its
retained interest has grown over the last four years, this increase has been
partially offset by a decline in realized gains in connection with the sale of
loans. Gains (or losses) for each sale of receivables are determined by
allocating the carrying value of the receivables sold between the portion sold
and the interest retained based on their relative fair value. The Company
estimates the fair value of its retained interest based on the present value of
future cash flows expected from the sold receivables.

Interest expense was $2,790 and $9,547 for the three- and nine-months ended
September 30, 2002, respectively, and $4,932 and $16,107 for the three- and
nine-months ended September 30, 2001. The average interest rates of 1.76% and
4.58% were paid on average outstanding loans due to affiliates of $717,104 and
$480,952 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company receives fee income for continuing to service sold receivables. The
Company capitalizes the present value of expected servicing fee income in excess
of the related cost of servicing over the estimated life of the sold
receivables.

Program fees include placement, administrative and termination fees as well as
charges for special services. Program fees continue to decline as programs
terminate and mature. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001 the number of Programs
administered by the Company were 1,587 and 2,546, respectively.

In the future, the Company may realize a gain or loss on the securitization of
future collateral notes receivable which may impact future earnings.
