                            HOME BENEFICIAL CORPORATION
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    Basis of Presentation

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consoli-
						dated condensed financial statements of the Corporation contain all ad-
						justments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
      present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1994 and December 31,
      1993, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months
      and six months ended June 30, 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 purchased 45,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a
      cost of $911,250 during the first half of 1994. In July, 1994 the Corpora-
      tion purchased an additional 329,948 shares of its Class B Common Stock at
      a cost of $6,763,934.  During 1993 the Corporation 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 State-
      ment 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 six month period ended June 30, 1994, those
      net unrealized gains decreased by $17 million (net of adjustments to
      deferred income taxes).  There was no effect on net as a result of the
      adoption of Statement 115.

      Financial Condition
      Cash and invested assets continue to increase and at June 30, 1994 totaled
      $1.2 billion.  The quality of the Corporation's investments remain strong.
      At June 30, 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.
      The Corporation purchased 374,948 shares of its Class B Common Stock at 
      a cost of $7.7 million during the first seven months of 1994.  During the
      corresponding period in 1993, 587,838 shares of Class B Common Stock were
      purchased at a cost of $14.1 million.
      In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued State-
      ment 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 State-
      ment 115 increased the carrying value of fixed maturities by $5 million
      and stockholders' equity by $3.3 million at June 30, 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 antici-
      pate this Statement to have any significant effect, as the Corporation is
      not aware of any impaired loans.

      Results of Operations
      Premiums decreased 1% at June 30, 1994 compared to an increase of 12% for
      the first six months of 1993.  Premium growth for 1993 resulted from
      increased participation in a group reinsurance contract.  At June 30, 1994
      total life insurance in force exceeded $10.1 billion for the first time in
      the Corporation's history, increasing by 2.7% over the June 30, 1993
      amount.  Net investment income, excluding realized investment gains,
      decreased 3.5% compared to a 6% decrease for the 1993 period.  Investment
      income growth has been affected by the downward trend experienced in port-
      folio rates during 1992 and the early part of 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 $57,000 compared to $6.7 
      million for the first half of 1993.  1993 realized investment gains 
      resulted principally from calls and maturities of fixed maturity invest-
      ments.  Benefits and claims decreased 2% from the 1993 period.  1993 bene-
      fits and claims increased 21% over 1992 as a result of increased partici-
      pation in a group reinsurance contract. Individual mortality costs
      contributed to the decrease in 1994 results.
