                    SOUTHERN SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)


1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by
management in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
interim  financial  information  and  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q and
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.
All  adjustments  and accruals  considered  necessary for fair  presentation  of
financial  information have been included in the opinion of management,  and are
of  a  normal  recurring  nature.   Quarterly  results  of  operations  are  not
necessarily  indicative of annual results.  These  statements  should be read in
conjunction with the financial  statements and the notes thereto included in the
Southern  Security Life  Insurance  Company 1999 Annual Report on Form 10- K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 (file number 2-35669).

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial  statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The estimates  susceptible to  significant  change are those used in determining
the liability for future policy benefits and claims.  Although some  variability
is inherent in these  estimates,  management  believes the amounts  provided are
adequate.

2. Comprehensive Income

For the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  total  comprehensive  income
(loss) was $12,540 and $(531,745), respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  total  comprehensive  income
(loss) was $20,677 and $(201,923) respectively.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This analysis of the results of operations  and financial  condition of Southern
Security  Life  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  Condensed  Financial
Statements  and Notes to the  Condensed  Financial  Statements  included in this
report.

In recent  years,  the  Company  has  primarily  issued  two types of  insurance
products:  universal  life and final expense  products.  Universal life provides
insurance   coverage  with  flexible  premiums,   within  limits,   which  allow
policyholders  to  accumulate  cash  values.  The  accumulated  cash  values are
credited with  tax-deferred  interest,  as adjusted by the Company on a periodic
basis.  Deducted  from the cash  accumulations  are  administrative  charges and
mortality  costs.  Should a policy  surrender  in its early  years,  the Company
assesses a surrender fee against the cash value  accumulations based on a graded
formula.

Final expense products are traditional endowment type insurance policies written
for the senior market.  Because the products are written to a senior market they
are designed to accommodate  adverse health  conditions.  Because of the size of
the policies,  the products are usually  issued with only limited  underwriting.
The  coverage  size  of the  policy  is  roughly  equivalent  to  the  insured's
anticipated funeral costs.

An additional source of income to the Company is investment revenue. The Company
invests those funds deposited by  policyholders  of life and annuity products in
debt and equity  securities  in order to earn  interest and dividend  income,  a
portion  of which is  credited  back to the  policyholders.  Interest  rates and
maturities  of the  Company's  investment  portfolio  play an important  part in
determining the interest rates credited to policyholders.

                                        7

Product  profitability  is  affected  by  several  different  factors,  such  as
mortality  experience  (actual versus  expected),  interest rate spreads (excess
interest earned over interest credited to policyholders)  and controlling policy
acquisition costs and other costs of operation. The results of any one reporting
period  may be  significantly  affected  by the  level of death  claims or other
policyholder benefits incurred due to the Company's relatively small size.

Results of Operations

Six Months ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

Total revenues  decreased by $665,000 or 11.0%, to $5,356,000 for the six months
ended June 30,  2000,  from  $6,022,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Contributing  to this  reduction  in  revenues  was a $153,000  decrease  in net
investment income and a $722,000 decrease in other revenue.

Net insurance revenues increased by $210,000, or 6.6%, to $3,386,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000,  from  $3,176,000  for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  This  increase was  primarily  the result of an increase in assumed group
business.

Net investment income decreased by $153,000,  or 7.2%, to $1,970,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000,  from  $2,124,000  for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  This  decrease was  primarily  due to a reduction of policy loan interest
income.

Other  revenues  decreased  by $722,000,  or 100.0%,  to $-0- for the six months
ended June 30, 2000,  from $722,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This
amount was the proceeds from a settlement  received in 1999 of insurance  claims
filed for the  recovery of the  litigation  costs  relating to a case  against a
former officer of the Company.

Benefits and claims  decreased by $559,000,  or 20.2%, to $2,210,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, from  $2,769,000 for the comparable  period in 1999.
This decrease was primarily  due to a reduction in universal  life  policyholder
account balances.

The amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased by $100,000,  or
6.8%, to $1,374,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $1,474,000 for
the  comparable  period in 1999.  This  decrease was  primarily  the result of a
decline in universal life deferred policy acquisition cost balances.

Operating  expenses  increased by $115,000,  or 7.5%, to $1,639,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2000,  from  $1,524,000 for the same period in 1999.  This
increase was primarily the result of additional  agency  development  and office
building costs.

Second Quarter of 2000 Compared to Second Quarter of 1999

Total  revenues  decreased by $717,000,  or 21.3%,  to $2,649,000  for the three
months ended June 30, 2000,  from $3,366,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999.  Contributing  to this decrease was a $228,000  decrease in net investment
income and a $722,000 decrease in other revenue.

Net insurance  revenues  decreased by $233,000 or 16.3%,  to $1,658,000  for the
three  months ended June 30, 2000,  from  $1,425,000  for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.  This increase was primarily the result of an increase in assumed
group business.

Net investment income decreased by $228,000, or 18.7%, to $991,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000,  from $1,219,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999. This decrease was due to a reduction in policy loan interest income.

Other  revenues  decreased  by $722,000,  or 100.0%,  to $-0- for the six months
ended June 30, 2000,  from $722,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This
amount was the proceeds from a settlement  received in 1999 of insurance  claims
filed for the  recovery of the  litigation  costs  relating to a case  against a
former officer of the Company.

                                        8

Benefits and claims  decreased by $476,000 or 31.6% to $1,033,000  for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, from  $1,509,000 for the comparable  period in 1999.
This decrease was primarily  due to a reduction in universal  life  policyholder
account balances.

The amortization of deferred policy  acquisition costs increased by $79,000,  or
12.2%,  to $725,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000,  from $646,000 for
the  comparable  period  in  1999.  This  increase  was in line  with  actuarial
assumptions.

Operating  expenses  decreased  by $57,000,  or 6.5% to  $818,000  for the three
months ended June 30,  2000,  from  $875,000  for the same period in 1999.  This
decrease was primarily the result of lower agency development costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company  attempts  to  match  the  duration  of  invested  assets  with its
policyholder  liabilities.  The  Company may sell  investments  other than those
held-to-maturity in the portfolio to help in this timing; however, to date, that
has not been  necessary.  The  Company  purchases  short-term  investments  on a
temporary  basis to meet the  expectations  of  short-term  requirements  of the
Company's products. The Company's investment philosophy is intended to provide a
rate of return which will persist during the expected  duration of  policyholder
liabilities regardless of future interest rate movements.

The Company's  investment  policy is to invest  predominantly  in fixed maturity
securities,  mortgage loans, and warehouse  mortgage loans on a short-term basis
before selling the loans to investors in accordance  with the  requirements  and
laws governing life insurance companies.  Bonds owned by the Company amounted to
$28,001,000  as of June 30, 2000, as compared to  $27,930,000 as of December 31,
1999.  This represents  56.5% and 54.8% of the total  investments as of June 30,
2000 and  December  31, 1999,  respectively.  Generally,  all bonds owned by the
Company are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.  Under
this rating system,  there are six categories used for rating bonds. At June 30,
2000, and at December 31, 1999, the Company did not have investments in bonds in
rating categories three through six, which are considered non-investment grade.

The Company has classified  certain of its fixed income  securities as available
for  sale,  with the  remainder  classified  as held to  maturity.  However,  in
accordance with Company policy, any such securities purchased in the future will
be classified as held to maturity. Business conditions,  however, may develop in
the future  which may  indicate a need for a higher  level of  liquidity  in the
investment  portfolio.  In  that  event  the  Company  believes  it  could  sell
short-term investment grade securities before liquidating higher-yielding longer
term securities.

The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory
regulators  requiring  minimum  capital  levels based on the  perceived  risk of
assets, liabilities,  disintermediation, and business risk. At June 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, the Company exceeded the regulatory criteria.

Lapse  rates  measure the amount of  insurance  terminated  during a  particular
period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 1999 was 9.1% as compared
to a rate of 17.4% for 1998.  The 2000 lapse rate is  approximately  the same as
1999.

At June 30, 2000, $8,934,000 of the Company's consolidated  stockholders' equity
represented  the  statutory  stockholders'  equity.  The  Company  cannot  pay a
dividend to its parent  company  without the  approval of  insurance  regulatory
authorities.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

There have been no  significant  changes since the annual report Form 10-K filed
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

                           Part II Other Information:


Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

          The  Company  has been  named as a party in an action  brought  in the
          Circuit Court, Eighteenth Judicial District, Seminole County, Florida.
          The action was  commenced in December  1998 with an amended  complaint
          filed in April 1999. On three  occasions in the past,  the Company has
          been involved in litigation with the plaintiff, William Thomas. In the
          pending action, Thomas asserts a claim for malicious prosecution and a
          claim for abuse of process  purportedly  arising out of a prior action
          involving  him and the  Company.  In each of the claims,  Thomas seeks
          compensatory damages of $1.0 million,  plus punitive damages and costs
          of the action. Thomas undertook formal discovery.  The Company filed a
          motion for summary  judgment on the claims.  On December 28, 1999, the
          court  granted  summary  judgment  in  favor  of the  Company  thereby
          dismissing  Thomas'  claim with  prejudice.  Thomas  filed a notice of
          appeal before the District Court of Appeal of Florida,  Fifth Circuit,
          Daytona  Beach,  Florida for  reversal of the  summary  judgment.  The
          appellate court affirmed the summary judgment.

          An action was brought against the Company in July 1999 by Dorothy Ruth
          Campbell in the Circuit Court of Escambia County,  Alabama. The action
          arises out of a denial of  coverage  for a policy  with  coverage  for
          $10,000.  The  claims  are for  breach  of  contract,  bad  faith  and
          fraudulent   misrepresentation.   In  the   action,   Campbell   seeks
          compensatory and punitive damages plus interest. The Company has filed
          its response to the  complaint  and intends to  vigorously  defend the
          matter.

          An action was  brought  against the Company in late 1999 by Larry Boyd
          in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. The action involves
          the  alleged  purchase  by Boyd and his  deceased  wife of two college
          funds with respective death benefits of $58,454 and $58,556 for Boyd's
          two  sons.  The  allegations  in  the  complaint  include  an  alleged
          representation by the Company through its sales agent that when Boyd's
          sons,  the  insureds,  reached  college  they  would  receive  monthly
          payments for college.  Boyd further contends that he lost the value of
          his deposits on the college fund  policies,  lost  interest,  does not
          have the college funds  promised to him, and suffered  mental  anguish
          and   emotional   distress.   The   claims  are  based  on  fraud  and
          misrepresentation  and  negligence by the Company in hiring,  training
          and supervising the sales agent. Boyd seeks  compensatory and punitive
          damages,  plus costs.  The complaint was responded to and discovery is
          in progress. The Company intents to vigorously defend the action.

          The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings  outside the
          ordinary  course  of the  Company's  business  or to any  other  legal
          proceedings  which,  if  adversely  determined,  would have a material
          adverse effect on the Company or its business.
