                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
   September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of operations
   and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
   1995 and 1994.  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 1994
   Annual Report to Stockholders.

2. In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting for Creditors
   for Impairment of a Loan."  SFAS No 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 adopted the provisions of SFAS
   No. 114 as of January 1, 1995. Adoption of this Standard does not have any
   significant effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
   the Corporation.

3. During the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation purchased 30,376 shares of
   its Class A and 94,624 shares of its Class B Common Stock at a cost of $2.8
   million. In the first nine months of 1994, the Corporation purchased 374,948
   shares of its Class B Common Stock at a cost of $7.7 million.

   Company is required to invest in quality securities which provide ample
   protection for its policyholders.  Policy liabilities of the Life Company are
   predominately long term in nature and are supported primarily by long term
   fixed maturity investments and mortgage loans on real estate.
   Assets totaled $1.4 billion at September 30, 1995 with investment assets
   totalling $1.2 billion or 90% of total assets.  Both total assets and
   invested assets increased over year-end 1994 results.  The Corporation's
   fixed maturity and equity securities portfolio is classified in the balance
   sheet as available-for-sale and carried at fair value.  At September 30,
   1995 the fair value of these securities exceeded their cost by $40
   million.  At September 30, 1995 there were no principal and interest
   payments past due on fixed maturities, and over 99% of the mortgage loans
   on real estate were current for both principal and interest.  
   In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting for Creditors for
   Impairment of a Loan."  SFAS No. 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 adopted the provisions
   of SFAS 114 as of January 1, 1995.  Adoption of this Standard does not
   have any significant effect on the financial condition or results of
   operations of the Corporation.
   The Life Company continually matches the investment portfolio to the cash
   flow demands of the types of insurance being written and maintains adequate
   cash and short term investments to meet cash requirements for policy loans
   and voluntary policy terminations, as well as investment commitments.  Policy
   loans account for less than 5% of total cash and invested assets.
   As disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of December
   31, 1994, $140 million of consolidated stockholders' equity represents net
   assets of the Life Company that cannot be transferred in the form of
   dividends, loans or advances to the Corporation.  However, this poses no
   liquidity concerns to the Corporation as it has sufficient cash flow to meet
   its operational requirements.
   
   Results of Operations
   Net income for the first nine months of 1995 was $27,865,515 compared to
   $26,933,108 for the same period in 1994.  Realized investment gains and
   losses were insignificant for the two periods.
   Individual life insurance sales for 1995 increased by 20% and amounted to
   $704 million compared to $584 million for the first nine months of 1994.  A
   substantial part of the 1995 sales improvement occurred during the last four
   months of the period ending September 30, 1995.
   Net investment income, excluding realized investment gains and losses,
   increased 4.2% compared to a decrease of 2.5% for the 1994 period.  The
   improvement for 1995 results from growth in portfolio assets.  The decrease
   for 1994 was attributable to the downward trend experienced in portfolio
   interest rates during 1993 and 1992, and the use of $14 million of
   internally generated funds to repurchase approximately 600,000 shares of
   common stock in the second quarter of 1993.

                                            September 19, 1995


Mr. J. M. Wiltshire, Jr.
3901 West Broad Street
Richmond, VA  23230

Dear Mr. Wiltshire:

    Since you will be retiring from active service with the Corporation and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, your service as an employee will cease at
that time.

    In consideration of your long record of outstanding service to the
Corporation and its subsidiaries as an employee, the Corporation and its
subsidiary Home Beneficial Life Insurance Company (the "Company") have approved,
effective beginning as of your retirement, the payment of deferred
compensation to you as provided herein subject to the following terms and
conditions:

    1.  Subject to the will of the stockholders you will continue to serve as a
        Director of the Corporation and its subsidiaries following your
        retirement.  You will receive no compensation for serving as a Director.

    2.  Subject to the will of the other Directors you will continue to serve as
        Secretary of the Corporation and its subsidiaries following your
        retirement while you remain a Director.  You will receive no
        compensation for serving as Secretary.

    3.  In consideration of your past services, you will be paid the annual sum
        of $25,000 ("supplemental retirement pay") commencing January 1, 1996
        and payable monthly on the first of each month during your lifetime. 
        Payments may be made by the Corporation and/or the Company, as they
        may determine, although each guarantees payment.

    4.  The undertaking to pay supplemental retirement pay hereunder shall be
        an unfunded obligation payable solely from the general assets of the
        Corporation and the Company subject to the claims of the Corporation's
        and the Company's creditors.  Your rights hereunder shall be no greater
        than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation and
        the Company.

Mr. J. M. Wiltshire, Jr.
September 19, 1995

    5.  You will not be required to provide any services in return for the
        supplemental retirement pay mentioned above.  You will not be entitled
        to benefits, nor have any rights, under the Home Beneficial Protection
        and Retirement Plan or the Home Beneficial Thrift Plan as an active
        employee, although you will be entitled to whatever rights are provided
        thereunder to a retired employee.

    6.  You will not compete with the Corporation or it subsidiaries, directly
        or indirectly, on a full-time or part-time basis or on a consulting or
        advisory basis or otherwise for any other business organization in any
        matter or in any manner which might be deemed to be in competition with
        or against the best interest of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

    7.  This agreement will completely terminate upon your death and may only
        be modified by the mutual consent of you and the Board of Directors of
        the Corporation and the Company.

    Will you please acknowledge your agreement to the above by signed the
enclosed copy of this letter.

                                            Sincerely,

                                            /s/ R.W. Wiltshire, Jr.
                                            Chief Executive Officer 
                                            Home Beneficial Corporation and
                                            Home Beneficial Life Insurance
                                                      Company

Seen and Agreed to:

/s/ J. M. Wiltshire, Jr.
