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 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 $54,663,153 June 30, 1997.
Annual amounts due to the Company were as follows:

</TABLE> 

The Company's funds for financing the Programs are currently obtained through a
Revolving Credit Agreement with a non-affiliated bank, SunTrust Bank of Atlanta,
Georgia ("SunTrust").  The Company entered into this Revolving Credit Agreement
on October 23, 1996 which provides for advances up to $60,000,000 and expires on
October 22, 2001.  The Revolving Credit Agreement contains restrictions on
equity and indebtedness with other non-affiliates.  All indebtedness and
obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Agreement, are guaranteed
by the Company's parent, Chubb Life Insurance Company of America ("Chubb Life").
The Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust replaced the Company's loan
agreements with its affiliates, Chubb Life and Chubb Colonial Life Insurance
Company ("Colonial"), which provided for advances not to exceed $20,000,000 and
$29,000,000, respectively.  As all advances under affiliated loan agreements
became due during October and November of 1996, the Company borrowed amounts
under the new Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust and paid Chubb Life and
Colonial the outstanding principal and interest.  At June 30, 1997, the Company
had no loans outstanding to affiliates.  The interest rate on advances made
under the SunTrust Revolving Credit Agreement is variable and based on short-
term interest rates.


                                    2 of 12
<PAGE>
 
The continuance of the Program is dependent upon the Company's ability to
provide, or arrange for the financing of insurance premiums for Participants.
Prior to its Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust, such financing was
available from its affiliates, Colonial and Chubb Life.  The Company expects
that it will be able to obtain this financing for the foreseeable future from
non-affiliates or affiliates.

If the Company is unable to borrow funds in the future or continue to borrow
funds under its credit agreement 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 arrangement with its lender does not
include the assignment of a Participant's mutual fund shares to the lender as
security, the Company is authorized to assign a Participant's mutual funds
shares to a 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 Participants
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 credit agreement.  In
this case, Programs will be terminated on their renewal dates.

At June 30, 1997 the Company had borrowed $51,000,000 under its Credit Agreement
with SunTrust.  At June 30, 1996 the Company had borrowed $47,500,000
($27,500,000 under its loan agreement with Colonial and $20,000,000 under its
loan agreement with Chubb Life).  The increase in amounts borrowed by the
Company year to year was used to fund additional premium loans.

In addition to loans payable, the Company has other short-term amounts due to
affiliates related to insurance premium payments and expense reimbursements to
the Service Company.

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 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 1997 and 1996 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 six months ended June 30, 1997 with net operating
income of $311,166 as compared to net operating income of $141,075 for the same
period in 1996. The increase in net operating income year to year resulted from
declines in the Company's cost of funds to finance premium loans and general
expenses.

Total revenues through June 30, 1997 were $2,624,429 versus $2,415,864 in 1996.
These revenues include interest on collateral loans receivable, program fees,
interest on investments and partnership income.  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  June 30, 1997
were $54,663,153 as compared to $50,637,686 as of June 30, 1996. Comparatively,
collateral loan interest was $2,323,336 and $2,138,767 for the six months ended
June  30, 1997 and 1996. The average interest rate charged to each Participant's
outstanding loan balance was 8.95%  for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996.

The Company's collateral loans receivable, collateral loan interest and average
interest rate charged to each Participant's loan balance at June 30, 1997 and
1996 are summarized as follows:

Interest expense on the Loan Agreements increased each year due to amounts
borrowed by the Company.  The Company's outstanding loans payable, interest
expense and average cost of borrowings for the six months ended June 30 are
summarized as follows:

Loans payable                        $52,056,605       $47,407,822
Interest expense                     $ 1,475,188       $ 1,443,136
Average loan interest rate               5.81%             6.61%
</TABLE>

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 (including state
taxes), arising from normal operating activities through June 30, 1997, were
$670,524 as compared to $755,689 in 1996.

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 include placement, administrative and termination fees as well as
charges for special services.  At June 30, 1997 and 1996 the number of Programs
administered by the Company were 5,755 and 6,363, respectively.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Effective April 30, 1997, Jefferson-Pilot Corporation acquired Chubb Life
Insurance Company of America and its subsidiaries from The Chubb Corporation for
$875 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Chubb Life Insurance Company of
America, Hampshire Funding, Inc. was included in the acquisition. The fair
market value of Hampshire Funding, Inc. as of the acquisition date was
determined to equal its book value. Therefore, the Company's retained earnings
of $2,009,485 as of the acquisition date have been reclassified to additional
paid-in surplus.
