In December 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement
of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments," which provides guidance on accounting for
insurance-related assessments. The Company is adopted SOP 97-3 effective January
1, 1999. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.
In June 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities. FAS 133 is applicable to financial statements for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 as amended by FAS No.
137, "Accounting for the Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- Deferral
of the Effective Date of FASB Statements No. 133". The operations of the Company
are not affected by the provisions of FAS No. 133.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS:
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, InterContinental Life
Corporation's ("ILCO") net income was $8,723,000 (basic earnings and diluted
earnings of $0.99 per common share) as compared to $8,356,000 (basic earnings
and diluted earnings of $0.95 per common share) in the first nine months of
1998. For the 1998 period, earnings per share have been adjusted to give effect
to the stock dividend (one share of common stock for each outstanding share of
common stock) which was paid on March 17, 1999. Earnings per share are stated in
accordance with the requirements of FAS No. 128, which establishes two measures
of earnings per share: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or
exercised.
Results of Operations
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's income before
federal income taxes was $13,780,000 on revenues of $78,262,000 as compared to
income of $13,081,000 on revenues of $82,668,000 for the first nine months of
1998.
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 nine months of 1999 was $7.6
million, as compared to $8.4 million for the first nine months of 1998.
Reinsurance premiums ceded were $1.9 million for the first nine months of 1999,
as compared to $2.5 million in the first nine months of 1998.
Earned insurance charges for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 were
$30.3 million, as compared to $30.8 million for the same period in 1998. This
source of revenues is related to the universal life insurance and annuity book
of business of the insurance subsidiaries of the Company.
The Company's senior loan was fully discharged effective September 30, 1998,
accordingly, there was no interest expense for the first nine months of 1999, as
compared to interest expense in the amount of $645,000 for the first nine months
of 1998.
As of September 30, 1999, the market value of the fixed maturities available for
sale segment was $409.4 million as compared to an amortized cost of $410.04
million, or an unrealized loss of $0.64 million. The decrease reflects
unrealized losses on such investments related to changes in interest rates
subsequent to the purchase of such investments. The net of tax effect of this
decrease ($0.405 million at September 30, 1999) is included in "Accumulated
other comprehensive income" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and has been
recorded as a decrease in shareholders' equity. As required under the provisions
of FAS No. 130, the determination of "Accumulated other comprehensive income"
includes separate identification of the change in values which occurred during
the current period.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, the lapse rate with respect
to universal life insurance policies decreased from the lapse rate experienced
in the similar period in 1998. The rate for the 1999 period was 5.89%, as
compared to 7.08% in the 1998 period. The lapse rate with respect to traditional
(non-universal) life insurance policies also decreased from the levels
experienced in the second quarter of 1998. The rate for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 was 8.56%, as compared to 8.67% in the similar period
in 1998. 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 subsidiary - Investors
Life Insurance Company of Indiana (formerly known as InterContinental Life
Insurance Company). ILCO's primary source of funds consists of payments under
two Surplus Debentures from Investors-NA.
As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan
obligations was $11.0 million, which reflected the prepayment by the Company of
the payment originally scheduled for January 1, 1998. A regular payment, in the
amount of $3.7 million, was made on April 1, 1998 and a prepayment of the July
1, 1998 installment, in the amount of $3.7 million, was made on June 30, 1998.
The outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $3.6
million at June 30, 1998. The final installment on the senior loan obligation
scheduled for October 1, 1998, was prepaid on September 30, 1998. As a result,
the senior loan obligation of ILCO was fully discharged effective September 30,
1998.
On March 17, 1999, the Company paid a stock dividend (one share of common stock
for each outstanding share of common stock). As a result, Financial Industries
Corporation ("FIC") currently owns, directly and indirectly through its
subsidiary Family Life Insurance Company, 3,932,692 shares (approximately 45%)
of ILCO's common stock.
Prior to the discharge of ILCO's senior loan obligation, FIC held options to
acquire (on a pre- dividend basis) an additional 1,702,155 shares of ILCO common
stock. The options were granted under an option agreement between FIC and ILCO
which was entered into in March, 1986 ("Option Agreement"). The Option Agreement
provided that it continued in effect as long as FIC guaranteed indebtedness of
ILCO. Since the senior loan was fully discharged by ILCO on September 30, 1998,
FIC's rights under the Option Agreement expired on September 30, 1998.
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 and their terms were previously approved by the Mississippi
Insurance Commissioner. In connection with the 1993 merger of Standard Life into
Investors-NA, the obligations of the Surplus Debentures were assumed by
Investors-NA. As of September 30, 1999, the outstanding principal balance of the
Surplus Debentures was $1.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The terms of
the latter required final payment of the remaining principal balance on
September 30, 1999. Effective September 28, 1999, the Company and Investors- NA
amended the payment schedule to provide payment of the remaining balance in four
installments, with the final installment being due July 1, 2000. 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 September 30,
1999, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA was $70.2 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 its subsidiaries. Washington's insurance code includes
the "greater of" standard for payment of dividends to shareholders, but has a
requirement 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. Under the "greater of" standard, an insurer may pay a dividend
in an amount equal to
- 14 -
<PAGE>
the greater of (i) 10% of the policyholder surplus or (ii) the insurer's net
gain from operations for the previous year. As of September 30, 1999,
Investors-NA had earned surplus of $46.0 million.
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 policyholder 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 had earned surplus of $17.6 million at September 30, 1999. In June,
1999, Investors-IN paid a dividend in the amount of $3 million to its sole
shareholder, Investors-NA. The amount of the dividend was less than the net gain
from operations for the prior fiscal year; accordingly, no prior approval was
required for the payment of the dividend. Advance notice of the payment was
provided to the Indiana Department of Insurance, in accordance with the
provisions of the Indiana Insurance Code.
ILCO's net cash flow used in operating activities was $15.1 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $24.8 million for the
first nine months of 1998.
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 September 30, 1999, the Company's investment assets totaled $681.0
million, as compared to $702.1 million as of December 31, 1998. Total assets as
of September 30, 1999 ($1.32 billion) decreased slightly from the level as of
December 31, 1998 ($1.35 billion).
The level of short-term investments at September 30, 1999 was $190.0 million, as
compared to $171.8 million at December 31, 1998.
Invested real estate and other invested assets increased from $10.0 million at
December 31, 1998 to $13.8 million as of September 30, 1999. This increase is
related to the purchase by Investors-NA of the 47.995 acres of land in Austin,
Texas for the development of the River Place Pointe project. The land was
purchased in October, 1998 by Investors-NA, for an aggregate purchase price of
$8.1 million. Prior to the closing of the transaction, Investors-NA obtained a
Site Development Permit for the tracts from the City of Austin. The Site
Development Permit allows for the construction of seven office buildings
totaling 600,000 square feet, with associated parking, drives and related
improvements. Development of the initial phase of the project commenced during
the first quarter of 1999. When completed, the first phase will consist of two
office buildings, a parking garage and the infrastructure for the entire
project. Investors-NA plans to commence development of the additional stages of
the project following completion and leasing of the first phase.
The fixed maturities available for sale portion of invested assets at September
30, 1999 was $409.4 million. The amortized cost of the fixed maturities
available for sale segment as of September 30, 1999 was $410.04 million,
representing a net unrealized loss of $0.405 million. This unrealized loss
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 policyholder 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 generally does not select new investments
which are commonly referred to as "high yield" or "non-investment grade."

The portfolio includes investments in mortgage-backed securities which includes
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") of $182.1 million and
mortgage-backed pass-through securities of $30.7 million at September 30, 1999.
Mortgage-backed pass-through securities, sequential CMOs and support bonds,
which comprised approximately 52.0% of the book value of the Company's
mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 1999, are sensitive to prepayment
and extension risks. The Company has reduced the risk of prepayment associated
with this portion of the investment portfolio by investing in planned
amortization class ("PAC"), target amortization class ("TAC") instruments, and
scheduled bonds. These investments are designed to amortize in a predictable
manner by shifting the risk of prepayment of the underlying collateral to other
investors in other tranches ("support classes") of the CMO. PAC and TAC
instruments and scheduled bonds represented approximately 48.0% and sequential
and support classes represented approximately 37.6% of the book value of the
Company's mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 1999. In addition, the
Company limits the risk of prepayment of CMOs by not paying a premium for any
CMOs. The Company does not invest in mortgage-backed securities with increased
prepayment risk, such as interest-only stripped pass-through securities and
inverse floater bonds. The prepayment risk that certain mortgage-backed
securities are subject to is prevalent in periods of declining interest rates,
when mortgages may be repaid more rapidly than scheduled as individuals
refinance higher rate mortgages to take advantage of the lower current rates. As
a result, holders of mortgage-backed securities may receive large prepayments on
their investments which cannot be reinvested at an interest rate comparable to
the rate on the prepaying mortgages. The Company did not make additional
investments in CMOs during 1998 and the first three quarters of 1999. The
current investment objectives of the Company do not contemplate additions to the
portfolio of CMO investments during the remainder of 1999.
The Company's fixed maturities portfolio (including short-term investments), as
of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, included a non-material amount
(0.1% 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. Of these
non-investment grade investments, all received an NAIC rating of "5" (lowest
quality).
The consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 1999 include
$43.0 million of "Notes receivable from affiliates", represented by (i) a loan
of $22.5 million from Investors-NA to Family Life Corporation ("FLC") and a $2.5
million loan from Investors-CA to Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC") -
which loan is now owned by Investors-NA as a result of the merger of
Investors-CA into Investors-NA) - and $2.0 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 (iii) a loan of $4.5 million
by Investors-NA to Family Life Insurance Investment Company ("FLIIC") made in
July, 1993, in connection with the same transaction described above.
As of June 12, 1996, the provisions of the notes from Investors-NA to FIC, FLC
and Family Life Insurance Investment Company ("FLIIC") were modified as follows:
(a) the $22.5 million note was amended to provide for twenty quarterly principal
payments, in the amount of $1,125,000 each, to commence on December 12, 1996;
the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12, 2001; the interest
rate on the note remains at 11%, (b) the $30 million note was amended to provide
for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $163,540 each for the
period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning with the principal
payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal payment increases
to $1,336,458; the final quarterly principal payment is due on September 12,
2006; the interest rate on the note remains at 9%, (c) the $4.5 million note was
amended to provide for forty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of
$24,531 each for the period December 12, 1996 to September 12, 2001; beginning
with the principal payment due on December 12, 2001, the amount of the principal
payment increases to $200,469; the final quarterly
- 16 -
<PAGE>
principal payment is due on September 12, 2006; the interest rate on the note
remains at 9%, (d) the $2.5 million note was amended to provide that the
principal balance of the note is to be repaid in twenty quarterly installments
of $125,000 each, commencing December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on
September 12, 2001; the rate of interest remains at 12%, (e) the Master PIK
note, which was issued to provide for the payment in kind of interest due under
the terms of the $2.5 million note prior to June 12, 1996, was amended to
provide that the principal balance of the note ($1,977,119) is to be paid in
twenty quarterly principal payments, in the amount of $98,855.95 each, to
commence December 12, 1996 with the final payment due on September 12, 2001; the
interest rate on the note remains at 12%.
In December, 1998, FLIIC was dissolved. In connection with the dissolution, all
of the assets and liabilities of FLIIC became the obligations of FLIIC's sole
shareholder (FIC). Accordingly, the obligations under the provisions of the $4.5
million note described above are now the obligations of FIC.
The NAIC continued its rating of "3" to the "Notes receivable from affiliates",
as amended. 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 policyholders and to credit relatively consistent
rates of return to its policyholders.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company and its subsidiaries utilize a centralized computer system to
process policyholder records and financial information. In addition, the Company
uses non-centralized computer terminals in connection with its operations. The
software programs used in connection with these systems will be affected by what
is referred to as the "year 2000 problem". This refers to the limitations of the
programming code in certain existing software programs to recognize date
sensitive information as the year 2000 approaches. Unless modified prior to the
year 2000, such systems may not properly recognize such information and could
generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail to operate properly.
The Company has evaluated its centralized computer systems and has developed a
plan to reach year 2000 compliance. A central feature of the Plan is to convert
most of the centralized systems to a common system which is already in
compliance with year 2000 requirements. The Company is in the process of this
systems conversion and anticipates that the project will be completed in advance
of the year 2000.
The Plan calls for a conversion of certain systems onto the Company's CK/4
System; a system which is designed to be Y2K compliant according to the
representations of the vendor. Those systems which are not converted will be
upgraded by changing individual lines of computer code in order to modify
current operating software such that it will become Y2K compliant.
Under the Plan, the Company utilizes its own personnel and personnel of its
affiliated company, FIC Computer Services, Inc., acquired Y2K compliant
operating software, and engaged the assistance of outside consultants to
facilitate the systems conversions and modifications. The Company has completed
this system conversion, except as it relates to the conversion of approximately
6,130 policies and additional testing of previously completed conversions. The
Company has increased the budget for the implementation and completion of the
Plan from the prior years estimate. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had
budgeted approximately $470,000 for implementing the Plan. Based on its current
analysis, the Company expects that the cost of implementing and completing the
Plan will result in an after-tax expense of approximately $587,000 for the
three-year (1997 - 1999) conversion period. For the three month period ended
September 30, 1999, the Company has incurred an after-tax expense of
approximately $33,800 in connection with the completion of the Plan.
- 17 -
<PAGE>
Between January 1, 1997 and September 30, 1999, the Company has expended
approximately 78 % of the three-year expected after-tax cost discussed above. In
the event that the Plan does not achieve full compliance by the target dates, or
if unforeseen matters involving Y2K appear before or after January 1, 2000, the
Company will utilize the staff of FIC Computer Services, Inc. to identify and
resolve such issues as and if they arise.
In order to continuously evaluate the effectiveness of the modifications and
conversions made to the various systems, FIC Computer Services has acquired
testing software to simulate dates on or after January 1, 2000. Additionally,
FIC Computer Services runs the systems through model office cycles and also
conducts visual inspections of screen displays to determine whether the systems
are functioning in a Y2K compliant manner. FIC Computer Services plans to
continue testing the completed conversions and modifications through December,
1999.
As of September 30, 1999, FIC Computer Services, Inc. estimated that it had
completed the necessary conversions and modifications on the administrative
systems which process approximately 97% of the insurance policies for the
Company and its subsidiaries. This included the conversion of the ALIS System
(administering approximately 42,000 active policies) to CK/4 in February, 1998,
the System 38 (administering approximately 9,400 active policies) conversion in
January, 1997, the TI System (administering approximately 5,240 active policies)
conversion to CK/4 in July, 1998 and the conversion of the Lifecomm-B system
(which is responsible for approximately 16,900 policies assumed after the
acquisition of State Auto Life) in February,1999. The conversion of the Life 70
system (administering approximately 15,300 active policies for Investors-IN) was
completed in May, 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Lifecomm-A system administered
approximately 57,140 active policies for Investors-NA. As of September 30, 1999,
the conversion of all but approximately 6,130 active policies had been
completed. The majority of those conversions were completed in November, and the
Company expects the conversion of the remaining Lifecomm-A policies to be
completed before the end of November, 1999. The modification of one of the
Company's smaller systems which administers approximately 2,100 active credit
life policies was completed on schedule in December 1998. The modification of a
smaller system which administers approximately 15,470 active industrial life
policies was completed in June of 1999.
The various software applications described above are licensed to the Company
under agreements which permit the Company's subsidiaries to process business on
its computer systems utilizing such software.
In 1997, FIC Computer Services, Inc. purchased new mainframe hardware and
accompanying operating software, which the vendor has represented to be Y2K
compliant. FIC Computer Services, Inc. has completed the installation and
testing of such new mainframe hardware and software for compliance with the
requirements of the Year 2000 conversion. In addition, FIC Computer Services has
purchased certain third-party software which is run on the mainframe. This
software has been represented by the vendor as being in compliance with Year
2000 requirements. Initial testing on such third-party software was completed in
October, 1999. The telephone system, which includes both PBX and voice mail
systems, has been tested by the maintenance provider for that system and the
Company has received assurances that the telephone system is Y2K compliant.
With respect to non-centralized systems (i.e., desktop computers), the Company
has obtained updated software releases and new hardware designed to be Y2K
compliant according to the representations of the vendors. The Company expects
that the effort needed to correct for Y2K problems on such systems will be less
time intensive than the effort needed to achieve compliance for its centralized
systems. The installation of such new PC hardware and software was commenced in
early 1999 and was completed in mid-November, 1999.
The Company also faces the risk that one or more of its external suppliers of
goods or services ("third party providers") will not be in a position to
properly interact with the Company due to the inability of such third party
provider to resolve its own Y2K issues. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has
completed an inventory of its third party provider relationships. In order to
assess the Y2K readiness
- 18 -
<PAGE>
of such third party providers, the Company has developed and forwarded a
detailed questionnaire to such providers. The Company has received responses and
assurances of Y2K readiness from all of its mission critical external suppliers,
as well as many of its non-mission critical suppliers. The receipt and
evaluation of responses is on-going, and the Company will consider whether to
continue relationships with external suppliers who fail to respond to the
questionaire.
In the event that a major administrative system fails to operate properly due to
the Y2K problem, or the Company does not complete the necessary systems
conversions prior to January 1, 2000, the Company has developed a plan to
respond to such a contingency. FIC Computer Services has assigned certain
personnel to be members of an emergency response team to resolve Y2K operations
problems. Additionally, insurance policies would be administered manually if the
necessary systems conversions were not completed prior to January 1, 2000, or
subsequent Y2K operational problems arise. Manual policy administration would
require additional personnel. If substantial additional personnel become
necessary for manual policy administration, the training and salary expenses of
such personnel could materially affect the Company's business and results of
operations. The Company is not able to estimate the likelihood that manual
administration will be needed or the amount of any expense which it would incur
in connection with such manual administration.
Cautionary Statements for Purposes of the "Safe
Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Except for historical factual information set forth in this Management's
Discussion and Analysis, certain statements made in this report are forward
looking and contain information about financial results, economic conditions,
Y2K risks and other risks and known uncertainties. The Company cautions the
reader that actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the
Company, depending upon the eventual outcome of certain factors, including: (1)
heightened competition for new business, (2) significant changes in interest
rates, (3) adverse regulatory changes affecting the business of insurance and
(4) adverse changes in the Y2K readiness of the Company or its significant third
party providers.
Accounting Developments
In December, 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement
of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for
Insurance-Related Assessments", which provides guidance on accounting for
insurance-related assessments. The Company adopted SOP 97-3, effective January
1, 1999. The adoption of SOP 97-3 did not have a material impact on the
Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.
In June, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities. FAS No. 133 is applicable to financial statements for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, as amended by FAS
No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." As the Company does
not have significant investments in derivative financial instruments, the
adoption of FAS No. 133 does not have a material impact on the Company's results
of operations, liquidity or financial position.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
GENERAL:
ILCO's principal assets are financial instruments, which are subject to market
risks. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market
rates and prices, principally interest rates on fixed
- 19 -
<PAGE>
rate investments. For a discussion of the Company's investment portfolio and the
management of that portfolio to reflect the nature of the underlying insurance
obligations of the Company's insurance subsidiaries, please refer to the
information set forth in Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Investments" of this report.
The following is a discussion of the Company's primary market risk sensitive
instruments. It should be noted that this discussion has been developed using
estimates and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those
described below. Further, the following discussion does not take into account
actions which could be taken by management in response to the assumed changes in
market rates. In addition, the discussion does not take into account other types
of risks which may be involved in the business operations of the Company, such
as the reinsurance recoveries on reinsurance treaties with third party insurers.
The primary market risk to the Company's investment portfolio is interest rate
risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.
INTEREST RATE RISK:
Assuming an immediate increase of 100 basis points in interest rates, the net
hypothetical loss in fair market value related to the financial instruments
segment of the Company's balance sheet is estimated to be $23.7 million at
September 30, 1999 and $17.1 million at December 31, 1998. For purposes of the
foregoing estimate, the following categories of the Company's fixed income
investments were taken into account: (i) fixed maturities, including fixed
maturities available for sale, (ii) short-term investments and (iii) notes
receivable from affiliates. The market value of such assets was $642.5 million
at September 30, 1999 and $672.6 million at December 31, 1998.
The fixed income investments of the Company include certain mortgage-backed
securities. The market value of such securities was $215.2 million at September
30, 1999 and $250.8 million at December 31, 1998. Assuming an immediate increase
of 100 basis points in interest rates, the net hypothetical loss in the fair
market value related to such mortgage-backed securities is estimated to be $12.3
million at September 30, 1999 and $7.1 million at December 31, 1998.
Fixed income investments held in separate accounts have not been included, since
gains and losses on those assets generally accrue to the policyholders. The
hypothetical effect of the interest rate risk on fair values was estimated by
applying a commonly used model. The model projects the impact of interest rate
changes on a range of factors, including duration and potential prepayment.

Part II. Other Information
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and Investors-NA are defendants in a lawsuit which was filed in
October, 1996, in Travis County, Texas. CIGNA Corporation, an unrelated Company,
is also a named defendant in the lawsuit. The named plaintiffs in the suit (a
husband and wife), allege that the universal life insurance policies sold to
them by INA Life Insurance Company (a company which was merged into Investors-
NA in 1992) utilized unfair sales practices. The named plaintiffs seek
reformation of the life insurance contracts and an unspecified amount of
damages. The named plaintiffs also seek a class action as to similarly situated
individuals. No certification of a class has been granted as of the date hereof.
The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to vigorously
defend this matter.
In August, 1997, another individual filed a similar action in Travis County,
Texas against the corporate entities identified above. The lawsuit involves the
same type of policy and includes allegations which are substantially identical
to the allegations in the first action. The named plaintiff also seeks class
certification. The Company believes that the court would consider class
certification with respect to only one of these actions. The Company also
believes that this action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this
matter.
