                           USLICO CORPORATION

               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of USLICO
Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  Additionally, certain 1993 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to 1994 presentations.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included
in these interim statements.

Operating results for the three-month period or the six-month period ended
June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1994.  For additional information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes
incorporated by reference in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1993.

2.   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement 115 entitled
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  In
doing so, all fixed maturity securities were designated as "available for
sale" and adjusted to fair value in the balance sheet with net unrealized
gains and losses, net of related income taxes and other adjustments,
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  As a result,
this change in accounting method has no effect on net earnings.  As
specified by Statement 115, prior year amounts were not restated.  The
following summarizes the effect of Statement 115 on the Company's financial
position (amounts in millions):

                                             6/30/94   1/1/94

3.   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114

Statement 114, entitled "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
prescribes the recognition criterion for loan impairment and the
measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans whose terms are
modified in troubled debt restructurings.  Statement 114 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.  The Company has not yet
adopted this new standard, and has not yet determined the effect of this
new accounting standard on its financial statements.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994, COMPARED TO THREE AND
     SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993.

The following summarizes the major components of net income for the three
and six month periods ended June 30 (in millions):

                               Three Months         Six Months
                              1994      1993      1994      1993
                              ----      ----      ----      ----

Life insurance operations     $9.0      $0.2      $17.4     $7.3

Ship registry income            -        1.3        -        1.3

Realized investment gains*     0.1       2.6        1.2      3.5

Interest expense              (2.0)     (2.0)      (4.0)    (4.0)

Federal income tax            (2.4)     (0.7)      (5.0)    (2.6)
                              ----      ----      -----     ----

     Net income               $4.7      $1.4       $9.6     $5.5
                              ====      ====       ====     ====

* - Net of amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value of
future profits of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six month
periods in 1994 and $2.6 million and $3.2 million for the corresponding
periods in 1993.

Consistent with the first quarter of 1994, sales of variable annuities
business continued to improve and exceed prior year sales.  Sales of
payroll deduction slowed in the second quarter of 1994 although year to
date sales still exceed 1993.  While fixed annuity and individual life
sales lag their 1993 performance, second quarter sales exceed first
quarter.  In the individual life line of business the industry as a whole
is experiencing lower sales in the comparable product lines, and
management's profitability initiatives in these lines have temporarily
reduced sales.  On the other hand, sales of fixed annuities in June 1994
were the highest in 12 months and the sales momentum lost with the
commission rate cuts in the previous year appears to have been regained.

Realized gains decreased compared to 1993 due to reduced bond call activity
caused by increasing interest rates.

The major factors contributing to the improvement in earnings were
favorable death benefits, particularly in the group life line of business. 
Interest spreads widened with net investment income for the quarter
increasing by $0.9 million while interest credited on policyholder funds
declined by $1.7 million in the same period.  The corresponding year to
date amounts are $0.9 million for net investment income and $2.9 million
for interest credited.  Commissions, premium taxes and fees decreased for
the quarter and year to date primarily due to lower premium taxes,
resulting from lower premium revenues, and reduced expense for guaranty

fund assessments.  Income taxes increased in step with income and also due
to an increase in the Federal income tax rate from 34 percent in 1993 to 35
percent in 1994.

Ship registry income in the second quarter of 1993 represented dividends
from a subsidiary that managed offshore maritime and corporate registry
programs.  The subsidiary was sold in the third quarter of 1993.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $52.1 million for
the six month period ended June 30, 1994 as compared to the same period in
1993 largely because of a decrease of $26.8 million in fixed annuity sales
and an increase in surrenders of $17.1 million for the same periods.  Net
cash used in investing activities was reduced by the same circumstances. 
Annuity surrenders are being affected by the current rising interest rate
environment and by the Company's interest crediting policies, which have
focused on maintaining interest spreads.<PAGE>
