Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

                  Stock held by him.

                  Smith has no present plans or proposals which relate to or
                  would result in:

                  (1)   The acquisition by any person of additional securities
                        of the Company or the disposition of securities of the

                  (2)   An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
                        merger, reorganization, or liquidation, involving the
                        Company or any of its subsidiaries;

                        corporate structure;

                  (7)   Any changes in the Company's charter, bylaws, or

                        may impede the acquisition of control of the company by
                        any person;

                        to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer
                        quotation system of a registered national securities

Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With
                  -------------------------------------------------------------
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer
                  -----------------------------------

                  On May 24, 1999, Mobile America Corporation (the "Company"),
                  McCorkle and Smith entered into a Shareholder Agreement (the
                  "Voting Agreement"). In the Voting Agreement, McCorkle and
                  Smith agreed to vote all of the shares over which they then
                  have voting power (except 24,701 shares contributed by
                  McCorkle to the Kissaway County Charitable Trust) in favor of
                  the following slate of directors: (i) Allan J. McCorkle,
                  Thomas J. McCorkle and Holly J. McCorkle (the "Family
                  Directors"), (ii) J. Michael Garrity, Thomas E. Perry, R. Lee
                  Smith and Robert Thomas (the "Non-Family Directors") and (iii)
                  Arthur L. Cahoon. In the event of a vacancy on the Board with
                  respect to a Family Director, McCorkle and Smith agreed to
                  vote for a director nominated by McCorkle, and in the event of
                  a vacancy on the Board with respect to a Non-Family Director,
                  McCorkle and Smith agreed to vote in favor of an individual
                  nominated by the Non-Family Directors and Cahoon. In the event
                  a new President and CEO is hired and elected as a director,
                  McCorkle and Smith agreed to vote in favor of an additional
                  nominee selected by McCorkle.

                  The Voting Agreement generally continues until, but not
                  including, the 2002 Annual Meeting of the Company's
                  shareholders. However, the Voting Agreement will terminate
                  earlier on the happening of any of the following events: (i)
                  the death of McCorkle, (ii) default by the Registrant under
                  its Consulting Agreement or Director Indemnification Agreement
                  with McCorkle after notice and opportunity to cure, (iii) the
                  occurrence of a "material adverse change" as defined in the
                  Voting Agreement or (iv) failure of the Company's Board to
                  nominate as directors the Family Directors or Cahoon.
