            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 June
   30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of operations and cash
   flows for the three months and six months ended June 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 six months of 1996, the Corporation purchased 128,373
   shares of its Class A Common Stock at a cost of $3.1 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 June 30, 1996 with investment assets
   totalling $1.2 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 June 30, 1996 the fair value of these
   securities exceeded their cost by $38 million.  At June 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 six months of 1996 was $18,613,374 compared to
   $18,466,223  for the same period in 1995.  Realized investment gains were
   insignificant for the two periods.
   Individual life insurance sales for 1996 increased by 9.2% and amounted to
   $492.4 million compared to $451 million for the first six months of 1995.
   Net investment income, excluding realized investment gains and losses,
   increased   1.4% compared to an increase of 4% 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.  First half 1996 underwriting,
   acquisition and insurance expenses increased over the corresponding period
   of 1995 as a result of increased individual insurance policy terminations.
