                  JOHN ADAMS LIFE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995
                                  (UNAUDITED)


Summary of significant accounting policies

     Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly,
they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  In addition,
these accounting principles differ in certain material respects from the
accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities.
The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1994, contained in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders.  Certain items have been reclassified to conform to the current
year's presentation.

     Premium revenue and related expenses

Premiums for traditional life insurance products are recorded as earned when
due.  Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums in order to
recognize profits over the contract terms in proportion to premiums earned.
This association is accomplished by the provision of a reserve for future
policy benefits and the deferral and subsequent amortization of policy
acquisition costs.  The reserve for future policy benefits and the amortization
of deferred acquisition costs for traditional life insurance products are
computed using the net level premium method based on estimated future
investment yield, mortality and withdrawals.

Revenues for interest sensitive life policies and investment products consist
of mortality charges for the cost of insurance, policy administration fees and
surrender charges assessed to policy account balances.





                                       7

     Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue represents the excess of premiums collected from policyholders
over the cost of providing insurance.  This profit is amortized into income
over the life of the related insurance policy.

     Deferred acquisition costs

The costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions paid to agents and
other related policy issuance costs, are capitalized and amortized over the
policy term in proportion to related premium income for traditional life
insurance products and for interest sensitive life-type and investment
contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the present
value of the estimated gross profits, which are comprised of net interest
income, net realized investment gains and losses, surrender charges, mortality
margins and policy administration fees and expenses.  Amounts received from
reinsurers representing reimbursements of the costs of acquiring new business
are deferred and recognized over the policy term in proportion to related
premiums paid to reinsurers.

Deferred acquisition costs, net of accumulated amortization at June 30, 1995,
are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

     Bonds

Bonds available for sale are carried at aggregate market value, with net
unrealized holding losses charged directly to shareholders' equity.  The change
in net unrealized holding loss on bonds available for sale charged to
shareholders' equity was $260,296 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
Bonds held for trading are carried at aggregate market value with net changes
in unrealized losses charged to earnings.  Realized gains and losses on the
sale of bonds are recognized in operations at the date of sale and are
determined using the specific cost identification method, in accordance with
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

     Policy loans

Policy loans are recorded at the unpaid balance, less interest collected in
advance.  Interest on policy loans is recognized using the effective interest
method.

    Future policy benefits

Liabilities for future policy benefits for traditional life insurance products
have been computed on the net level premium method, based upon the following
estimated future investment yield, mortality and withdrawal assumptions:

          Investment Yield - 9.9 percent to 13.6 percent annually over the
policy life of the Company's primary products.

          Mortality Rates - Primarily based on 80 percent of the 1965-1970
Modified Basic Select and Ultimate Mortality Table.

          Withdrawal Rates - Primarily based on Company experience.

Liabilities for interest sensitive life-type and investment contracts are
stated at policyholder account values (premiums received, plus interest
credited less withdrawals and charges for mortality and policy administration).

    Income taxes

The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes"  did not have a material effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company, in the first six months of 1995.

    Earnings per share

Earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each year.  The calculation of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding includes the effect of stock equivalents arising
from the Company's repurchase of its stock and the issuance of restricted
stock.  Weighted average shares outstanding totaled 2,864,700, at June 30, 1995
and 1994.  The impact of stock options was not dilutive.

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

          THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

Results of Operations

         The net loss totaled $26,000 or $.01 per share in the second quarter
of 1995, compared to a net income of $13,000 or $.01 per share in the second
quarter of 1994.  For the six months, there was a net loss of $41,000 or $.01
per share in 1995, compared to a net loss of $95,000 or $.03 per share in 1994.

         The decrease in income from a net gain of $13,000 in the second
quarter of 1994 to a net loss of $26,000 in the second quarter of 1995, is due
primarily to an increase in net benefits incurred and a reduction in interest
from policy loans.  These factors were partially offset by the net change in
unrealized holding losses on bonds held for trading.

         The decrease in the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
of $54,000 to the comparable period in 1994, is due primarily to the net change
in unrealized losses on bonds held for trading.

         Revenues from interest sensitive life policies, consisting of
mortality charges, policy administration fees and surrender charges assessed to
policy account values decreased to $160,000 in the second quarter of 1995 from
$179,000 in the second quarter of 1994.  For the six months, revenues from
interest sensitive policies decreased to $352,000 in 1995 from $391,000 in
1994.

         The premiums collected by the Company for single premium and flexible
premium deferred annuities are not reported as premium revenues, but rather are
reported as deposit liabilities.  With respect to these products, revenues are
recognized over time in the form of investment income on invested funds.  The
gross premiums collected for these products during the six month period ended
June 30, 1995, were $776,000 and $-0- for the comparable period in 1994.

         Net investment income decreased to $172,000 in the second quarter of
1995 from $198,000 in the second quarter of 1994.  For the six months, net
investment income decreased to $349,000 in 1995 from $390,000 in 1994.

         Amortization of deferred acquisition costs increased primarily due to
revised assumptions included in estimates of future gross profits relating to
investment and mortality margins based upon actual experience for the Company's
interest sensitive life products.  Amortization of deferred acquisition costs
totaled $55,000 in the second quarter of 1995, compared to $14,000 in the
second quarter of 1994.  For the six months, such amortization totaled ($2,000)
in 1995 and $44,000 in 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's investments in policy loans tends to enhance liquidity,
since liabilities of the Company on surrenders of whole life paid-up at age 70
or 80 policies can be satisfied largely through the discharge of the policy
loan, with very little net cash outflow.  The Company does not invest in
high-risk bonds.

         Management considers its liquidity position to be adequate.
Developing and writing new life insurance can result in a reduction of
statutory capital and surplus because the Company establishes statutory
reserves for future policy benefits and incurs a noncash liability for unearned
policy loan interest that exceeds the premium revenue associated with the new
policy.  Because of declining statutory surplus, due to statutory operating
losses, JALIC received notice that the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners' Examiner Team has designated JALIC as requiring second priority
regulatory attention.  The designation "second priority" does not necessarily
indicate that a company is facing financial adversity but is a recommendation
that the state insurance department having authority over such companies accord
them high priority in its surveillance process.  This is an improvement over
the "first priority" designation that JALIC received last year.

         The amount of dividends that may be paid by JALIC to its parent is
limited by insurance statutes and regulations and certain special federal
income tax provisions applicable to insurance companies.
