               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Unaudited)

          The financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments
          which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a
          fair statement of the interim results.  The statements have been
          prepared to conform to the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not
          necessarily include all disclosures required by generally
          accepted accounting principles (GAAP).  The reader should refer
          to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 previously
          filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for financial
          statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Certain prior year
          amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
          presentation.

          Acquisition of Insurance Subsidiary

          On February 14, 1995, the Company, through Investors-NA, 
          purchased from Meridian Mutual Insurance Company the stock of
          Meridian Life Insurance Company, an Indianapolis-based life
          insurer, for a cash purchase price of $17.1 million, net of past-
          closing adjustments.  After the aquisition, Meridian Life changed
          its name to Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana
          ("Investors-IN").  Investors-IN is licensed in ten states and
          markets a variety of individual life and annuity products through
          independent agents.  This is not considered a significant
          subsidiary for Securities and Exchange Commission reporting
          purposes. 

          Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired
          approximately 82% of the outstanding stock of Investors-IN for
          $14 million and Investors-NA acquired approximately 18% of the
          outstanding stock of Investors-IN for the remainder of the
          purchase price.  Immediately following the closing of the
          transaction, the Company contributed the shares acquired by it to
          the unassigned surplus of Investors-NA.  As a result, Investors-
          IN will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Investors-NA.  This
          transaction was financed, in part, through a $15 million increase
          in the Company's Senior Loan. 

          Sale of Home Office Building

          Net income for the first quarter of 1996 includes $15.3 million
          resulting from the sale of the Austin Centre, a hotel/office
          complex, located in Austin, Texas.  The selling price was $62.675
          million, less $1 million paid to a capital reserve account for
          the purchaser.  The property was purchased in 1991 for $31.275
          million.  The book value of the property, $36.8 million, net of
          improvements and amortization, were retained and reinvested by
          Investors Life Insurance Company of North America.  The balance
          of the proceeds of the sale, net of Federal Income Tax, were used
          to reduce the Company's senior loan obligations by $15 million. 
          The sale closed on March 29, 1996.  The Company will continue to
          rent space on three floors through September 30, 1997, with
          renewal options thereafter.


          New Accounting Pronouncements

          In March 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 121, "Accounting For the
          Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets to be
          Disposed of."  This Statement requires that long-lived assets and
          certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity
          be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
          circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
          not be recoverable.  In addition, the Statement requires that
          long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
          disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair
          value less cash to sell.

          FAS No. 121 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 1995. 
          The Company adopted FAS No 121 effective January 1, 1996.  The
          adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the
          Company's financial statements.

          During 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock- 
          Based Compensation," which encourages companies to adopt the fair
          value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. 
          This method requires the recognition of compensation expense
          equal to the fair value of such equity securities at the date of
          the grant.  This Statement also allows companies to continue to
          account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value
          based method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
          Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," with
          footnote disclosure of the pro forma effects of the fair value
          based method.  FAS No. 123 is effective for transactions entered
          into in years that begin after December 15, 1995.

          The Company plans to adopt FAS No. 123 during 1996 by continuing
          to account for stock-based compensation under the intrinsic value
          method and disclosing the pro forma effects of the fair value
          method in the footnotes to the financial statements. 



          Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Conditions and Results of Operation:

          For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, ILCO's net
          income was $18,042,000 ($3.35 per common share), as compared to
          $2,589,000 ($0.51 per common share) for the similar period in
          1995.  

          Net income for the first quarter of 1996 includes $15.3 million
          resulting from the sale of the Austin Centre, a hotel/office
          complex, located in Austin, Texas.  The selling price was $62.675
          million, less $1 million paid to a capital reserve account for
          the purchaser.  The property was purchased in 1991 for $31.275
          million. A portion of the sale proceeds, equal to the book value
          of the property, net of improvements and amortization ($36.8
          million), was retained and reinvested by Investors Life Insurance
          Company of North America ("Investors-NA").  The balance of the
          proceeds, net of federal income tax, of the sale was used to
          reduce the Company's senior loan obligations by $15 million.  The
          sale closed on March 29, 1996.  The Company will continue to rent
          space on three floors of the office tower as its headquarters,
          under a lease which runs through September 30, 1997, with renewal
          options thereafter.  The Company has not determined if it will
          exercise its renewal options.

          The reported results for 1995 include the operations of Investors
          Life Insurance Company of Indiana (formerly known as Meridian
          Life Insurance Company) for the period from February 14, 1995 to
          December 31, 1995.  Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana
          (Investors-IN) was purchased by ILCO and Investors-NA for an
          adjusted purchase price of $17.1 million; the transaction was
          completed on February 14, 1995.  The name change was completed in
          May, 1995.

          The statutory earnings of the Company's insurance subsidiaries,
          as required to be reported to insurance regulatory authorities,
          before interest expense, capital gains and losses, and federal
          income taxes were $5,278,000 at March 31, 1996, as compared to
          $6,286,000 at March 31, 1995.  These statutory earnings are the
          source to provide for the repayment of ILCO's indebtedness.

          The operating strategy of the Company's management emphasizes
          several key objectives: expense management; marketing of
          competitively priced insurance products which are designed to
          generate an acceptable level of profitability; maintenance of a
          high quality portfolio of investment grade securities; and the
          provision of quality customer service.

          Premium income, net of reinsurance, for the first quarter of 1996
          was $2.9 million, as compared to $3.1 million in the same period
          of 1995.  Reinsurance premiums ceded were $1.1 million in the
          first quarter of 1996, as compared to $1.0 million for the
          similar period in 1995.

          Earned insurance charges for the first quarter of 1996 were $10.7
          million, as compared to $9.8 million for the similar period in
          1995.  This source of revenues is related to the universal life 
          insurance and annuity books of business of Investors-NA.

          In December, 1995, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance
          agreement with Family Life Insurance Company ("Family Life")(an
          insurance company subsidiary of Financial Industries Corporation
          and an affiliated  company of Investors-NA), pertaining to
          universal life insurance written by Family Life.  The reinsurance
          agreement is on a co-insurance basis and applies to all covered
          business with effective dates on and after January 1, 1995.  The
          agreement applies to only that portion of the face amount of the
          policy which is less than $200,000; face amounts of $200,000 or
          more are reinsured by Family Life with a third party reinsurer. 
          In January, 1996, Investors-NA entered into a reinsurance
          agreement with Family Life, pertaining to annuity contracts
          written by Family Life.  This reinsurance agreement is also on a
          co-insurance basis and applies to all covered business with
          effective dates on and after January 1, 1996.  These arrangements
          reflect management's plan to develop universal life and annuity
          business at Investors-NA, with Family Life concentrating on the
          writing of term life insurance products. 

          Interest expense was $1,101,000 at March 31, 1996, as compared to
          $1,524,000 at March 31, 1995.  The decrease is attributable to a
          reduction in the average principal balance of the senior loan
          from $69.7 million for the three month period ending March 31,
          1995 to $54.8 million for the three month period ending March 31,
          1996, as well as a decrease in the average rate of interest paid
          on the senior loan - 7.91% for the first quarter of 1996 as
          compared to 8.80% for the same 1995 period.

          The increase in interest rates during the first three months of
          1996, which was related to general economic conditions, had a
          negative effect upon the market value of the fixed maturities
          available for sale segment of the portfolio.  As of March 31,
          1996, the market value of the fixed maturities available for sale
          segment was $461.6 million, representing a net unrealized gain of
          $2.2 million over amortized cost.  However, the market value of
          this segment at March 31, 1996 was approximately $22 million less
          than the corresponding level at December 31, 1995.  There is no
          assurance that this unrealized gain may be realized in the
          future.

          On January 31, 1995, ILCO, through Investors-NA, purchased, as an
          investment property, an office building project known as One
          Bridgepoint Office Square in Austin, Texas for a cash purchase
          price of $9.75 million.  The property consists of 20 acres of
          land, with four office building sites and two sites for parking
          garages.  At the time of the purchase, the first stage of the
          development had already been completed, consisting of a five-
          story office building with 83,474 square feet of rentable space
          and a 550-car parking garage.  That stage of the development was
          completed in 1986.  In the fourth quarter of 1995, construction
          commenced on a second building on the site, with 110,000 square
          feet of rentable space, and the second parking garage.  The
          second phase of the project is expected to be completed in the
          summer of 1996.  In the first quarter of 1996, construction
          commenced on the third building on the site, with approximately
          81,000 square feet of rentable space.  This third phase is 
          projected to be finished in late 1996.

          In March 1996, Investors-NA agreed to lease approximately 152,000
          square feet at Bridgepoint Office Square to Motorola, Inc. for
          use by the Power PC Alliance, composed of engineers from
          Motorola, IBM Corp. and Apple Computer Inc.  The Alliance will
          occupy 100% of the second office building and approximately
          43,000 square feet of the third office building.

                                Results of Operations

          For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company's
          income from operations before Federal income taxes was
          $27,802,000 on revenues of $53,581,000, as compared to
          $3,984,000, on revenues of $29,105,000 for the first three months
          of 1995.  $23.5 million of the of the stated income for the first
          three months of 1996 is attributable to the sale of the Austin
          Centre, previously discussed. 

          For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, the lapse rate
          with respect to universal life insurance policies increased from
          the lapse rate experienced in the similar period in 1995.  The
          rate for the 1996 period was 8.8%, as compared to 8.3% in the
          1995 period.  The lapse rate with respect to traditional (non-
          universal) life insurance policies decreased from the levels
          experienced in the first quarter of 1995.  The rate for the
          three-month period ended March 31, 1996 was 8.0%, as compared to
          8.7% in the similar period in 1995.  The lapse rates experienced
          during these periods were within the ranges anticipated by
          management.


                           Liquidity and Capital Resources

          ILCO is a holding company whose principal assets consist of the
          common stock of Investors Life Insurance Company of North America
          and its subsidiaries - Investors Life Insurance Company of
          Indiana (formerly known as Meridian Life Insurance Company) and
          InterContinental Life Insurance Company ("ILIC").  ILCO's primary
          source of funds consists of payments under two Surplus Debentures
          from Investors-NA.   

          As of December 31, 1995, the outstanding principal balance of the 
          ILCO's senior loan obligations was $59.4 million.  In January,
          1996, the Company made a scheduled payment of $4.5 million under
          its Senior Loan.  In March, 1996, the Company made the schedule
          payments for April 1st and July 1st, totaling $9 million.  At
          that same time, the Company made a payment of $941,000, an
          additional payment under the terms of the loan applied to the
          principal balance.  On April 1, 1996, an optional principal
          payment in the amount of $15 million was made, which further
          reduced the total amount of the outstanding Senior Loan to $29.94
          million, as of that date.

          ILCO's principal source of liquidity consists of the periodic
          payment of principal and interest by Investors-NA, pursuant to
          the terms of the Surplus Debentures.  The Surplus Debentures were
          originally issued by Standard Life Insurance Company ("Standard 
          Life") and their terms were previously approved by the
          Mississippi Insurance Commissioner.  Upon the merger of Standard
          Life into Investors-NA, the obligations of the Surplus Debentures
          were assumed by Investors-NA.  The terms of the merger were
          approved by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of
          Washington, the State of domicile of Investors-NA.  As of March
          31, 1996, the outstanding principal balance of the Surplus
          Debentures was $6.7 million and $53.6 million, respectively. 
          Since Investors-NA is domiciled in the State of Washington, the
          provisions of Washington insurance law apply to the Surplus
          Debentures.  Under the provisions of the Surplus Debentures and
          current law, no prior approval of the Washington Insurance
          Commissioner is required for Investors-NA to pay interest or
          principal on the Surplus Debentures; provided that, after giving
          effect to such payments, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA is
          in excess of $10 million (the "surplus floor").  However,
          Investors-NA has voluntarily agreed with the Washington Insurance
          Commissioner that it will provide at least five days advance
          notice of payments which it will make under the surplus
          debenture.  As of March 31, 1996, the statutory capital and
          surplus of Investors-NA was $71.8 million, an amount
          substantially in excess of the surplus floor.  The funds required
          by Investors-NA to meet its obligations to the Company under the
          terms of the Surplus Debentures are generated from operating
          income generated from insurance and investment operations.

          In addition to the payments under the terms of the Surplus
          Debentures, ILCO has received dividends from Standard Life (now,
          from Investors-NA).  Washington's insurance code includes the
          "greater of" standard for payment of dividends to shareholders,
          but has requirements that prior notification of a proposed
          dividend be given to the Washington Insurance Commissioner and
          that cash dividends may be paid only from earned surplus.
          Investors-NA does not presently have earned surplus as defined by
          the regulations adopted by the Washington Insurance Commissioner
          and, therefore, is not permitted to pay a cash dividend. 
          However, since the new law applies only to dividend payments, the
          ability of Investors-NA to make principal and interest payments
          under the Surplus Debentures is not affected.  ILCO does not
          anticipate that Investors-NA will have any difficulty in making
          principal and interest payments on the Surplus Debentures in the
          amounts necessary to enable ILCO to service the Senior Loan for
          the foreseeable future.

          Investors-IN is domiciled in the State of Indiana.  Under the
          Indiana insurance code, a domestic insurer may make dividend
          distributions upon proper notice to the Department of Insurance,
          as long as the distribution is reasonable in relation to adequate
          levels of policy holder surplus and quality of earnings.  Under
          Indiana law the dividend must be paid from earned surplus. 
          Extraordinary dividend approval would be required where a
          dividend exceeds the greater of 10% of surplus or the net gain
          from operations for the prior fiscal year.  Investors-IN
          currently has earned surplus.

          ILCO's net cash flow (used in) provided by operating activities
          was  $(14,373,000) for the three month period ended March 31,
          1996, as compared to $992,000 for the same period in 1995.  This 
          change is primarily due to a decrease of $11.2 million in
          deferred federal income tax related to the market value of the
          portion of invested assets that are fixed maturities available
          for sale and the $4.1 million increase in agent advances and
          other receivables.

          Management believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short
          term investments are sufficient to meet the needs of its business
          and to satisfy debt service.


                                     Investments

          As of March 31, 1996, the book value of the Company's invested
          assets totaled $685.6 million, as compared to $669.5 million as
          of December 31, 1995.  The increase in invested assets is
          primarily attributable to the sale of the Austin Centre, the
          proceeds of which were primarily reinvested in short term
          investments.  The level of short-term investments as of March 31,
          1996 was $122.5  million, as compared to $86.0 million as of
          December 31, 1995.
           
          The fixed maturities available for sale portion of invested
          assets at March 31, 1996 was $461.6 million.  The amortized cost
          of the fixed maturities available for sale segment as of March
          31, 1996 was $459.4 million, representing a net unrealized gain
          of $2.2 million.  This unrealized gain principally reflects
          changes in interest rates from the date the respective
          investments were purchased.  To reduce the exposure to interest
          rate changes, portfolio investments are selected so that
          diversity, maturity and liquidity factors approximate the
          duration of associated policy holder liabilities.

          The assets held by ILCO's life insurance subsidiaries must comply
          with applicable state insurance laws and regulations.  In
          selecting investments for the portfolios of its life insurance
          subsidiaries, the Company's emphasis is to obtain targeted profit
          margins, while minimizing the exposure to changing interest
          rates.  This objective is implemented by selecting primarily
          short- to medium-term, investment grade fixed income securities. 
          In making such portfolio selections, the Company does not select
          new investments which are commonly referred to as "high yield" or
          "non-investment grade."  

          The Company's fixed maturities portfolio (including short-term
          investments), as of March 31, 1996, included a non-material
          amount (1.2% of total fixed maturities and short-term
          investments) of debt securities which, in the annual statements
          of the companies as filed with state insurance departments, were
          designated under the National Association of Insurance
          Commissioners ("NAIC") rating system as "3" (medium quality) or
          below.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the percentage was
          1.1%.

          The consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31,
          1995 include $61.2 million of "Notes receivable from affiliates",
          represented by (i) a loan of $22.5 million from Investors-NA to
          Family Life Corporation and a $2.5 million loan from Investors 
          Life Insurance Company of California to Financial Industries
          Corporation (which is now owned by Investors-NA as a result of
          the merger of Investors-CA into Investors-NA) and $1.7 million of
          additions to the $2.5 million note made in accordance with the
          terms of such note; these loans were granted in connection with
          the 1991 acquisition of Family Life Insurance Company by a
          wholly-owned subsidiary of FIC (ii) a loan of $30 million by
          Investors-NA to Family Life Corporation made in July, 1993, in
          connection with the prepayment by the FIC subsidiaries of
          indebtedness which had been previously issued to Merrill Lynch as
          part of the 1991 acquisition and (iv) a loan of $4.5 million by
          Investors-NA to Family Life Insurance Investment Company made in
          July, 1993, in connection with the same transaction described
          above.  The NAIC has assigned a rating of "3" to the notes
          described above. These loans have not been included in the
          preceding description of NAIC rating percentages.

          Management believes that the absence of any material amounts of
          "high-yield" or "non-investment grade" investments (as defined
          above) in the portfolios of its life insurance subsidiaries
          enhances the ability of the Company to service its debt, provide
          security to its policy holders and to credit relatively
          consistent rates of return to its policy holders.


                               Accounting Developments

                                  Long-Lived Assets

          In March, 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 121," Accounting For the
          Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets to be
          Disposed of."  This Statement requires that long-lived assets and
          certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity
          be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
          circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
          not be recoverable.  In addition, the Statement requires that
          long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
          disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount of fair
          value less cash to sell.

          FAS No. 121 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after
          1995.  The Company adopted FAS. No. 121 effective January 1,
          1996.  Management determined that adoption of this Statement did
          not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

                               Stock-Based Compensation

          In October, 1995, the Financial Accounting standards Board issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting
          for Stock-Based Compensation."  This Statement encourages
          companies to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for
          employee stock options and other equity instruments awarded as
          compensation.  Under this method, compensation expense equal to
          the fair value of the security at the award grant date is
          recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the
          awarded security.  However, the Statement also allows companies
          to continue to account for stock-based compensation under the
          intrinsic value based method, as prescribed by Accounting 
          Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
          Employees."  Under the intrinsic value based method, the
          compensation cost is computed as the excess, if any, of the
          quoted market price of the equity security at the measurement
          date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the
          security.  If a company continues to account for stock-based
          compensation under the intrinsic value based method, it must make
          certain pro-forma disclosures in the footnotes to the financial
          statements for the difference in the fair value based  method and
          the intrinsic value based method.  This Statement is effective
          for stock-based compensation transactions entered into in fiscal
          years that begin after December 15, 1995.

          Management intends to continue to account for stock-based
          compensation under the intrinsic value based method as prescribed
          by APB No. 25, and allowed under SFAS No. 123.  The company will
          make the appropriate pro-forma disclosures required by SFAS in
          1996.
