                      HOME BENEFICIAL CORPORATION
         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
     consolidated condensed financial statements of the Corporation contain
     all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1994
     and December 31, 1993, and the results of operations and cash flows for
     the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.

     The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of
     the Corporation, its principal subsidiary, Home Beneficial Life
     Insurance Company (the Life Company), and its other subsidiaries.  All
     significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

     The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
     with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2.   Capital Stock

     The Corporation has purchased 45,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock
     at a cost of $911,250 since March 31, 1994.  During 1993 the Corpora-
     tion purchased 587,838 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a cost of
     $14.1 million. 

3.   Change in Accounting Principle

     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 115, "Accounting for
     Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  As of January 1,
     1994 the Corporation adopted the provisions of that Standard for
     investments held as of or acquired after that date.  In accordance with
     Statement 115, prior-period financial statements have not been restated
     to reflect the change in accounting principle.  The cumulative effect
     as of January 1, 1994 of adopting Statement 115 increased stockholders'
     equity by $21 million (net of deferred income taxes) to reflect the net
     unrealized gains on securities previously carried at amortized cost. 
     Due to rising interest rates during the three month period ended March
     31, 1994, those net unrealized gains decreased by $10.4 million (net of
     adjustments to deferred income taxes).  There was no effect on net
     income as a result of the adoption of Statement 115.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

     Financial Condition

     Cash and invested assets continue to increase and at March 31, 1994
     totaled $1.2 billion.  The quality of the Corporation's investments
     remain strong.  At March 31, 1994 there were no principal or interest
     payments past due on fixed maturities, and over 99% of the mortgage
     loans on real estate were current for both principal and interest.  The
     Corporation is not aware of any potential problem loans, and there are
     no mortgage loans whose terms have been restructured. Liquidity is
     adequate to provide for investment commitments and policyholder
     requirements.
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
     Securities".  Under Statement 115, debt securities are classified as
     either held-to-maturity (carried at amortized cost), available-for-sale
     (carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a
     separate component of stockholders' equity) or trading (carried at fair
     value with unrealized gains or losses reported in net income).  The
     Corporation adopted Statement 115 as of January 1, 1994 and classified
     its entire debt security portfolio (fixed maturities) as securities
     held-for-sale and adjusted the carrying value to fair value.  The
     effect of adopting Statement 115 increased the carrying value of fixed
     maturities by $16,400,000 and stockholders' equity by $10,600,000 at
     March 31, 1994.  In accordance with Statement 115, the Corporation's
     prior year financial statements have not been restated to reflect the
     change in accounting principle.   
     In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement 114, "Accounting by Creditors
     for Impairment of a Loan."  Statement 114 requires that impaired loans
     be valued at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted
     at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at
     the loan's observable market price, or the fair market value of the
     collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  The Corporation will
     be required to comply with Statement 114 beginning in 1995.  Management
     does not anticipate this Statement to have any significant effect, as
     the Corporation is not aware of any impaired loans.

     Results of Operations

     Premiums decreased 1% for the current quarter compared to an increase
     of 12% for the first three months of 1993.  Premium growth for 1993
     resulted from increased participation in a group reinsurance contract. 
     Individual premiums for the 1994 period were adversely affected by the
     severe weather conditions experienced in the Corporation's operating
     territory.  At March 31, 1994 total life insurance in force exceeded
     $10 billion for the first time in the Corporation's history, increasing
     by 2.3% over the March 31, 1993 amount.  Net investment income,
     excluding realized investment gains, decreased 5% compared to a 6%
     decrease for the 1993 period.  Investment income continues to be
     affected by the downward trend experienced in portfolio rates during
     1992 and 1993.  In addition, the Corporation used $14 million of
     internally generated funds to repurchase 587,838 shares of its common
     stock during the second quarter of 1993.  Realized investment gains for
     1994 amounted to $59,000 compared to $2.8 million for the first quarter
     of 1993.  1993 realized investment gains resulted principally from
     calls and maturities of fixed maturity investments.  Benefits and
     claims decreased 3.5% from first quarter 1993 results.  First quarter
     1993 increased 17% and resulted from increased participation in a group
     reinsurance contract.  Individual mortality costs contributed to the
     decrease in 1994 results.
