MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial
position and operating results during the periods included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 - COMPARISON
During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, the demand for life
insurance and mutual fund investments marketed by the Company to
U.S. military personnel remained strong. Commission revenue for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998, increased 4.6% to $95,006,492 from
$90,834,961 recorded during the comparable period in 1997. This
overall increase in commission revenue is a trend which has been
maintained over the past several years, and is expected to continue
in the future due to the long term personal financial management
philosophy espoused to clients, an effectively trained sales force
and efficient marketing practices used by the Company's sales
agents. The Company's analysis of the impact of base closures and
force reduction in the U.S. Military indicates to the Company a
minimal impact upon existing agents in the field and a market which
will continue to present an opportunity for growth of the Company's
business.
First Command Bank's net interest income totalled $1,503,725 for the
nine months ending June 30, 1998. This income was partially
offset by the establishment of a reserve for possible losses
on loans funded during the period.
Commissions, bonuses, and agent expenses for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998 increased 6.6% or $4,376,026 from the same period in
1997. Generally, in the past there has been a constant relationship
between commission revenues and commissions, bonuses, and agent
expenses.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June
30, 1998 increased 16.8%, or $3,190,852 from the same period in
1997. This increase is primarily due to inflationary factors
in addition to costs involved in the redesign of the corporate
database used by the home office. This redesign will result
in improved efficiencies in both personnel and computer hardware
costs in the future.
The total of other income for the initial nine months of fiscal
year 1998 increased 35.5% to $7,416,922 from $5,472,678 earned in
the comparable nine month period for 1997. This increase is
primarily attributable to greater distributions from mutual funds.

INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AGENCY FOR LIFE INSURANCE, INC.,
AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997 - COMPARISON
Income from operations for the current quarter decreased $755,813, or 37.5%,
from the comparable period in 1997. The decrease is primarily attributable
to a 7.8% increase in commissions, bonuses, and agent expenses and a 22.5%
increase in general and administrative expenses.
The total of other income for the current quarter of 1998 increased
to $229,234 from $226,626 earned in the comparable three month period
in 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to greater investment
and interest income in 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The Company has historically operated with a working capital
deficiency. The Company has been able to do this because of its
loans from insurance companies. As long as the Company does business
with these insurance companies (there are no current intentions to
change) the loan balance will continue to replenish itself from new
first year insurance commission loans. The Company had a ratio of
current assets to current liabilities of .39 to 1 and .71 to 1 at
June 30, 1998, and September 30, 1997, respectively. The decline in
the current ratio is the result of paying dividends of $8,141,677 on
December 1, 1997, to the shareholders of record as of September 30,
1997, and the paying of normal year-end incentive commissions of
$5,300,000 to the Company's sales agents. The current ratio is
expected to improve due to income from operations during the fiscal
year.
Cash and cash equivalents, consisting primarily of money market
funds are used to finance the Company's current operations and are
held as a reserve for the payment of current liabilities. Marketable
securities have been accumulated in anticipation of future capital
expenditures and as an additional reserve against contingencies. As
of June 30, 1998, the significant nonrecurring short-term obligation
requiring the immediate use of resources is the completion of the
review and testing of Y2K impacted areas of the Company. These
issues and the related costs are discussed fully on the next page.
First Command Bank continues to experience significant growth in
both loans and deposits as both clients and agents embrace the bank
and its products. During the quarter loans increased $11 million
while deposits grew $15 million. Loan growth continues to reflect
consumer loans made to clients, largely to extinguish credit card
debt, while deposit growth was experienced primarily in the money
market and certificate of deposit areas. As the bank's deposit
growth continues to out pace its loan growth it should not have an
adverse impact on the liquidity of the Company

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR 2000
The coming year 2000 will cause substantial changes in business
operations and systems which, if not identified and corrected, could
have a material impact on the operations and financial condition of
the Company. The largest areas for concern relate to the software
used by our agents, the home office and insurance companies and
mutual funds represented by the Company. Several years ago, the
Company undertook the task of rewriting the software used by our
agents to analyze clients' needs. This project, WINUSPA, is fully
compliant with the new millennium and is in the final testing and
implementation stages. It is expected to be fully implemented by the
fourth quarter of this fiscal year. In late 1996, the Company
embarked on the writing of the software used by the Home Office to
track clients' programs among other administrative issues. This
project, Phoenix, is fully compliant with the year 2000 and was
implemented in May 1998. The Company represents major, excellent
rated insurance companies and mutual funds. At this point, their
compliance with the year 2000 has been reviewed. These companies are
in the process of becoming compliant, and it is expected no
significant problems will be encountered.
Although the writing of WINUSPA and Phoenix software are major
accomplishments, there are a number of other areas which will be
impacted by the year 2000. The Company has formed a committee to
review these areas and is studying the impact of the new millennium
on all areas of the Company. In addition, the Company has engaged
third party specialists to ensure its review and corrective actions
are appropriate. The remaining costs to analyze and correct the
impacted areas is expected to be approximately $1.4 million over the
next nine to twelve months.
