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 $53,492,564 at March 31,
1997. Annual amounts due to the Company were as follows:

                              1997   1998     1999     2000     2001   2002-2008
                              ----   ----     ----     ----     ----   ---------
Collateral loans receivable   $2.4   $2.8     $3.8     $6.4     $8.7     $29.4
(in millions)

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 March 31, 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 10
<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 termination on their renewal dates.

At March 31, 1997 the Company had borrowed $50,500,000 under its Credit
Agreement with SunTrust.  At March 31, 1996 the Company had borrowed $46,000,000
($26,000,000 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 quarter ended March 31, 1997 with net operating income
of $115,167 as compared to net operating income of $35,251 for the same period
in 1996.

Total revenues through March 31, 1997 were $1,318,723 versus $1,190,216 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 March 31, 1997
were $53,492,564 as compared to $49,021,825 as of March 31, 1996. Comparatively,
collateral loan interest was $1,150,187 and $1,036,658 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The average interest rate charged to each
Participant's outstanding loan balance was 8.95% for the the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996.

The Company's collateral loans receivable, collateral loan interest and average
interest rate charged to each Participant's loan balance at March 31, 1997 and
1996 are summarized as follows:

                                         1997            1996
                                         ----            ----

Collateral loans receivable          $53,492,564       $49,021,825
Collateral loan interest income      $ 1,150,187       $ 1,036,658
Average Participant interest rate           8.95%             8.95%

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 three months ended March 31 are
summarized as follows:
 
                                  1997          1996
                                  ----          ----
 
Loans payable                 $50,858,259   $45,855,996
Interest expense              $   726,720   $   718,199
Average loan interest rate           5.76%         6.65%

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 March 31, 1997, were
$414,823 as compared to $417,784 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 March 31, 1997 and 1996 the number of Programs
administered by the Company were 5,950 and 6,453, respectively.
