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, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations and
     cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1996
     and 1995.  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
     1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2.   During the first nine months of 1996, the Corporation purchased 385,540
     shares of its Class A Common Stock at a cost of $9.2 million.

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

     Financial Condition

     The Corporation is primarily engaged in the life insurance business which
     historically has provided a positive cash flow. By statute, the Life
     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, 1996 with investment assets
     totalling $1.3 billion. 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, 1996 the
     fair value of these securities exceeded their cost by $42 million. At
     September 30, 1996 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.

     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, 1995, $145 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 1996 was $28,056,807 compared to
     $27,865,515 for the same period in 1995. Realized investment gains were
     insignificant for the two periods.

     Individual life insurance sales for 1996 increased by 4.8% and amounted to
     $739 million compared to $704 million for the first nine months of 1995.
     Net investment income, excluding realized investment gains and losses,
     increased 1.7% compared to an increase of 4.3% for the 1995 period. Growth
     in investment income continued to decline as a result of average yields on
     newly acquired mortgages and fixed income securities being below the
     Corporation's portfolio yield rate. Benefits and expenses for 1996 were
     above 1995 results due to increased individual insurance policy
     terminations.
