PUT TIME ON YOUR SIDE

In life, timing is everything, and the person who takes the time to plan for the
long-term, is the one who gets ahead.  Retirement security is a matter of
planning.  By planning, you can have the assurance you want that you'll be self-
sufficient and secure during your retirement years.

At Horace Mann, we know everyone's retirement needs are different.  That's why
we offer a variety of retirement planning products designed to meet your needs
now and in the future.  Together, you and your Horace Mann representative can
design a retirement strategy that will help you attain your financial goals.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:


In this, our first letter to you as the newly elected chairman and president of
the Horace Mann Funds, we are pleased to report that the Company's family of
four funds - Growth, Income, Balanced and Short-Term - continues its strong
performance, despite the vagaries of the financial markets and the uncertainty
of worldwide economic conditions.

On an annualized basis, each of our four funds either outperformed or closely
mirrored their comparative market benchmarks on a five-year basis.  This
achievement is of particular importance to our customers, who are long-term
investors in our annuity products backed by mutual funds.

Our two largest funds, Growth and Balanced, clearly outpaced their market
benchmarks for the five year period July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1995.  During
the same period, both the Income and Short-Term funds performed almost evenly
with their market benchmarks. (See performance chart on page 6.)

Looking ahead, our focus will be to continue building on the solid, long-term
performance educators expect from Horace Mann variable annuities.  While we
recognize the importance of short-term results, we know that our customers are
saving for retirement and are concerned about preservation of capital.  Our goal
is to help you accumulate assets well in excess of inflation and, therefore,
help to provide you with secure retirement income.

We also recognize that the investment world is evolving, offering a broader
array of options and corresponding number of complexities.  Through the
professional investment services of Wellington Management Company, we believe
that investors in our family of funds can keep pace. Wellington has served as
the investment advisor for each of the Horace Mann funds since 1989, and has
recorded a noteworthy performance for us over that period of time.  We believe
that our relationship with Wellington has provided our investors with clear,
long-term benefits.

The same is true of our agents, who are experienced financial counselors.
Special services offered through our agents include individualized help with
retirement planning.  Working with our educator customers, our agents project
individual state retirement benefits and help calculate the appropriate level of
additional savings each customer should place in a tax qualified annuity to help
ensure their secure retirement.

On behalf of all of the directors and officers of the Horace Mann Family of
Funds, we want to thank you for your continuing confidence.  Through our
collective experience and initiative, we pledge to continue our commitment to
providing long-term security and financial results to our customers.


Sincerely


/s/ Larry K. Becker

Horace Mann Family of Funds

                   FOR ANNUITY ALTERNATIVES CONTRACT OWNERS

Average annual total returns for the period ended June 30, 1995 for the Annuity
Alternatives contracts are shown in the following table. FOR CONTRIBUTIONS WHICH
REMAINED INVESTED IN AN ANNUITY ALTERNATIVES CONTRACT, RETURNS ARE SHOWN IN THE
"WITHOUT REDEMPTION" COLUMNS. FOR CONTRACTS WHICH WERE SURRENDERED, RETURNS ARE
SHOWN IN THE "WITH REDEMPTION" COLUMNS. REDEMPTION HAS NO AFFECT ON THE VARIABLE
ACCOUNT RATES OF RETURN AFTER THE INITIAL FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT PERIOD.

</TABLE>

The average annual total rates of return assume contributions were made on the
first business day of the period indicated.

Total return measures the past performance of each Fund subaccount and does not
represent the actual experience of investments made by a particular contract
owner. The total return and principal value of an account will fluctuate. The
value of an account may be worth more or less than its original cost, when
redeemed, depending upon market fluctuations. Past performance does not
guarantee future results of the subaccounts.

Total returns for the variable portion of the Annuity Alternatives contracts
include a reduction for mutual fund expenses and contract charges of 1.35%
annually for mortality and expense risk. Annuity contracts issued prior to
January 1984 have mortality and expense charges or sales fees that differ from
those of the Annuity Alternatives contracts. Such other charges and fees do not
exceed those reflected in the table above.

During the first five contract years, redemption charges range from 2 to 8% for
the flexible premium contracts and 1 to 5% for single premium contracts. The
average annual total returns with redemption are calculated using flexible
premium redemption charges.

Annuity Alternatives contracts require a $25 annual maintenance charge on the
contract anniversary when the contract value is less than $10,000.  This charge,
which is not reflected in the returns above, reduces total rates of return by 
2.5% on a $1,000 investment or .5% on a $5,000 investment.

During 1994 and the first six months of 1995, commission credits were used to
pay expenses of the Growth Fund. The Balanced Fund's expenses were paid by
commission credit during 1994.  Certain mutual fund expenses have been
subsidized (assumed and/or waived) since 1983 for the Income and Short-Term
Investment Funds.  Certain Balanced Fund expenses were subsidized from 1983
through 1987.  Subsidization and use of credits result in higher returns ranging
up to 1%, depending on the period subsidized for each Fund. There is no
guarantee that subsidization, and use of credits will continue in the future.

/1/ Since inception refers to January 31, 1983, the date the Horace Mann Funds
    began serving as the underlying investment vehicle for the Annuity
    Alternatives contracts offered by Horace Mann Life Insurance Company.

Returns of the Horace Mann Funds in the above table are shown net of mutual fund
expenses. Certain mutual fund expenses have been subsidized (assumed and/or
waived) since 1983 for the Income and Short-Term Investment Funds. During 1994
and the first six months of 1995, commission credits were used to pay expenses
of the Growth Fund. The Balanced Fund's expenses were paid by commission credit
during 1994. Certain Balanced Fund expenses were subsidized from 1983 through
1987. Subsidization and use of credits result in higher returns ranging up to
1%, depending on the period subsidized for each Fund. There is no guarantee that
subsidization and use of credits will continue in the future.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, and does not guarantee
future results.  The investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate, and when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original cost.

The benchmark indices indicated are unmanaged and have no expenses.

===============================================================================


1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION - Horace Mann Growth Fund, Inc. ("Growth Fund") was
incorporated on May 21, 1957.  Horace Mann Income Fund, Inc. ("Income Fund"),
Horace Mann Balanced Fund, Inc. ("Balanced Fund"), and Horace Mann Short-Term
Investment Fund, Inc. ("Short-Term Fund") each were organized on September 22,
1982, and on January 31, 1983, each of these funds sold 10,000 shares of $.10
par value capital stock to Horace Mann Life Insurance Company ("HMLIC") for
$100,000. The funds listed above collectively are referred to as the "Funds".

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   A. SECURITY VALUATION - A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued
   at its last sales price on the exchange where it is principally traded. In
   the absence of a current quotation, the security is valued at the mean
   between the last bid and asked prices on that exchange. Securities traded
   over-the-counter are valued at the last current bid price. Debt securities
   that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost, plus or
   minus any unamortized premium or discount. In the event market quotations
   would not be available, securities would be valued at fair value as
   determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; no such securities were
   owned by the Funds at June 30, 1995.

   B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Security transactions are
   recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
   date. Interest income including level yield, premium and discount
   amortization is recorded on the accrual basis. Securities gains and losses
   are determined on the basis of identified cost.

   C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - Since it is the Funds' policy to comply with the
   provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
   companies and to distribute all taxable income to their shareholders, no
   provision has been made for federal income tax or excise taxes. Dividends and
   distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the record
   date. The Income and Short-Term Funds intend to utilize provisions of the
   federal income tax laws which allow them to carry realized capital losses
   forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses
   against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 1994, the Income
   and Short-Term Funds have accumulated capital loss carry forwards for tax
   purposes of $138,396 and $20, respectively, which will expire on December 31,
   2002.

3. FUND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES:

   A. GROWTH FUND - primary, long-term capital growth; secondary, conservation
   of principal and production of income.

   B. INCOME FUND - primary, maximization of current income consistent with
   prudent investment risks; secondary, preservation of capital.

   C. BALANCED FUND - realization of high long-term total rate of return
   consistent with prudent investment risks.

   D. SHORT-TERM FUND - primary, realize maximum current income to the extent
   consistent with liquidity; secondary, preservation of principal.

4. OPERATING POLICIES:

   A. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - The Funds, through their custodian, receive
   delivery of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be
   at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. Wellington
   Management Company, the Funds' investment adviser, is responsible for
   assuring that the value of these underlying securities remains at least equal
   to their sale price.

   B. ASSET BACKED SECURITIES - These securities are secured by installment
   loans or leases or by revolving lines of credit. They usually include credit
   enhancements that limit investors exposure to the underlying credit. These
   securities are valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash
   flows compared to investments with similar durations.

   C. PERCS(PREFERRED EQUITY REDEMPTION CUMULATIVE STOCK) - These securities
   provide a fixed dividend and are normally convertible by the issuer into one
   share of common stock. These securities are valued on the basis of the bid
   price available from brokers.

   D. COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS - (PAC), (Planned Amortization 
   Class) -These securities have a pre-determined schedule for principal
   repayment coupled with an enhanced degree of cash-flow certainty. A PAC
   security is a specific class of mortgages which usually carry the most stable
   cash flows and the lowest amount of prepayment risk. These securities are
   valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash flows compared to
   investments with similar durations.

   E. COMMISSION CREDITS - Wellington Management Company, the Funds' investment
   adviser, seeks the best price and execution on each transaction and
   negotiates commission rates solely on the execution requirements of each
   trade. Occasionally, they place, under a directed brokerage arrangement,
   common stock trades with a broker/dealer who credits to the Funds part of the
   commissions paid. The use of these commission credits is left to the
   discretion of the Funds' management. In 1995, the commission credits were
   primarily used to pay expenses associated with obtaining portfolio valuation
   services for the Growth Fund.

5. FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS - The Funds are registered as diversified, open-end
management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Shares
are presently offered only to the HMLIC Separate Account and the HMLIC 401K
Separate Account for the Income Fund, Balanced Fund, and Short-Term Fund. The
Growth Fund's shares may be purchased by the separate accounts of HMLIC, by
certain tax-qualified trusteed retirement plans, and by the general public in
the case of reinvestment of dividends and distributions in accordance with
Revenue Ruling 82-55.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - Horace Mann Educators Corporation ("HMEC") is
the parent company of Horace Mann Investors, Inc. ("Investors") and Horace Mann
Service Corporation ("HMSC") and indirectly owns HMLIC. Collectively these
companies are referred to as Horace Mann.

Pursuant to management agreements between the Funds and Investors, Investors
receives a monthly management fee based on a pro rata share from each Fund equal
to 0.25% of the aggregate average net assets of the Funds up to $100,000,000 and
0.20% of such assets exceeding that amount. Investors also serves as the
principal underwriter and distributor of the HMLIC Separate Account. Investors'
management fee is reduced by the amount, if any, that the total annual expenses
of any Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, extraordinary items and brokers'
commissions and other charges related to the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities) exceed 1.5% of the first $30,000,000 of the average daily net assets
and 1% of the average daily net assets in excess of $30,000,000 of that Fund.

The pro rata share is determined by the relative net asset values for each Fund.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Growth Fund paid $235,850 and the
Balanced Fund paid $185,180 for management fees to Investors.  During the same
period, Investors waived the management fees for the Income Fund and Short-Term
Fund.

and other taxes and fees for the six months ended June 30, 1995 of $7,278 for
the Short-Term Fund.  Investors paid expenses for pricing and accounting of

The "Net Investment Income" per share and the "Net gains(losses) on Securities-
realized and unrealized" per share represent a proportionate share respective to
the increase in net assets as presented in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund's investment adviser was changed effective November 1, 1989.

The total return is determined by the ratio of ending net asset value to
beginning net asset value, adjusted for reinvestment of dividends from net
investment income and net realized capital gains.

If you are an annuity contract owner, the above total return does not reflect
expenses that apply to the separate account or related policies. The inclusion
of these charges would reduce the total return figures for all periods shown.

Equalization-Through December 31, 1987, the Income Fund followed the accounting
practice known as equalization, by which a portion of the proceeds from sales
and cost of redemptions of Fund shares was credited or charged to undistributed
income. Effective December 31, 1987 equalization accounting was discontinued and
the cumulative net equalization credits were paid as dividends from net
investment income and equalization credits. Net asset values was not affected by
this change.

Certain expenses for the Income Fund were assumed or waived by Horace Mann
Investors, Inc. through June 30, 1995. The investment advisory expenses for the
Income Fund were waived by CIGNA Investments from January 1, 1984 through 
October 31, 1989.

The "Net Investment Income" per share and the "Net gains(losses) on Securities -
realized and unrealized" per share represent a proportionate share respective to

Equalization-Through December 31, 1987, the Balanced Fund followed the
accounting practice known as equalization, by which a portion of the proceeds
from sales and cost of redemptions of Fund shares was credited or charged to
undistributed income.  Effective December 31, 1987 equalization accounting was
discontinued and the cumulative net equalization credits were paid as dividends
from net investment income and equalization credits.  Net asset value was not
affected by this change.

Expenses for the Balanced Fund were assumed or waived by Horace Mann Investors,
Inc. and CIGNA Investments through 1987.

The "Net Investment Income" per share and the "Net gains(losses) on Securities-
realized and unrealized" per share represent a proportionate share respective to
the increase in net assets as presented in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund's investment adviser was changed effective November 1, 1989.

The total return is determined by the ratio of ending net asset value to
beginning net asset value, adjusted for reinvestment of dividends from net
investment income and net realized capital gains.

If you are an annuity contract owner, the above total return does not reflect
expenses that apply to the separate account or related policies.  The inclusion
of these charges would reduce the total return figures for all periods shown.
