                            EXHIBIT 1 to Form 12b-25


Registrant's accounting department had difficulty analyzing certain accounts
because of the intricacies of a coinsurance arrangement entered into during the
quarter between Registrant's subsidiary, John Adams Life Insurance Company of
America and Unified Life Insurance Company.


                            EXHIBIT 2 to Form 12b-25

Registrant anticipates a significant change in the results of operations from
the third quarter of 1995, because of an anticipated significant loss
attributable to the GAAP accounting treatment of the coinsurance arrangement
referred to in Exhibit 1 above.  A reasonable estimate of the results of the
GAAP treatment of the arrangement cannot be made at this time.

this agreement until the policies are no longer in force.

                                  ARTICLE III


LOSS

"Loss" shall mean such payments as are incurred on or after the effective date
and are actually made by or on behalf of the Company under the Policies
reinsured hereunder including amounts paid by or on behalf of the Company in
any settlement of any claims for benefits, cash surrenders or actions under
such Policies and any amounts paid by or on behalf of the Company in
satisfaction of judgments.  All Loss settlements by the Company shall be
unconditionally binding upon the Reinsurer (in proportion to its
participation), and the Reinsurer shall benefit proportionately in all
recoveries.

The Reinsurer shall bear its share of all expenses incurred by the Company in
the investigation and settlement, contesting the validity of all Losses or
alleged Losses under Policies reinsured hereunder (excluding office expenses
and salaries of employees of the Company), and shall receive its proportionate
share of any recoveries of such expenses.  It is understood and agreed that all
Loss expenses incurred are in addition to the reinsurance limit hereunder.

All expenses other than as previously provided, including court costs,
prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and loss expenses incurred in
investigation, defense and settlement of claims made against the Company under
its Policies reinsured hereunder, shall be apportioned in proportion to the
respective interests of the parties hereto.

RETENTION AND LIMIT

As respects business subject to this Agreement, the Company shall retain and be
liable for 0% of its gross liability.

                                   ARTICLE VI

CONSIDERATION, FUNDS WITHHELD, ACCOUNTING

Funds held under this agreement will remain with the Company.  The initial
amount owed to the Reinsurer will equal the policy reserves on the business
reinsured less the ceding commission of  $800,000, less policy loans, less net
due and deferred premiums, plus advance premiums, as shown in Exhibit C.

The Company will take credit under this agreement for the reinsured share of
policy reserves, policy loans, net due and deferred premiums and advance
premiums.

Quarterly the Company will report to the Reinsurer (A) a balance sheet on the
reinsured business showing policy assets and liabilities (net policy
liabilities).  In addition the Company will  show (B) Gross Premiums collected,
less existing reinsurance premiums paid, less commissions, less premium taxes
incurred, less administrative expenses retained, less death claims paid net of
reinsurance collections, less surrender benefits paid, plus gross investment
income earned on policy loans, plus investment income earned on the assets
supporting the business reinsured as shown in Exhibit D times the ratio of the
net policy liabilities to the total book value of such supporting assets.  The
supporting assets shall be at the end of each quarter at least equal to the
amount of the net policy liabilities.

Company will remit to reinsurer item (B) if positive.  If  (B)  is negative
Reinsurer will pay this amount to Company.

If the increase in net liabilities  (A)  is positive, Reinsurer will remit that
amount to Company.  If a decrease results, then Company will remit the change
in (A) to Reinsurer.

The amount of Funds Withheld shall equal the preceding quarter's Funds
Withheld, adjusted by the change in the net policy liabilities for the quarter.

Provided that in no event shall the Company be required to make any such
payment which would result in the Funds Withheld to be less than zero (0).

                                  ARTICLE VII

COMPENSATION

All compensation amounts are calculated as a percentage of the Gross Premium.
The Reinsurer shall allow the Company to deduct the following compensation:

          1.  Commission   -   Actual
          2.  Premium Tax  -   Actual

In addition to the compensation as stated above, the Company shall retain an
Administrative Expense:

                     $5.00 per month, per policy in force at
                     the beginning of each month

                                  ARTICLE VIII

INSOLVENCY

Company's Insolvency

The portion of any risk or obligation assumed by the reinsurer, when such
portion is ascertained, shall be payable on demand of the ceding insurer at the
same time as the ceding insurer shall pay its net retained portion of such risk
or obligation, with reasonable provision for verification before payment, and
the reinsurance shall be payable by the reinsurer, on the basis of the
liability of the ceding insurer under the contract or contracts reinsured
without diminution because of the insolvency of the ceding insurer.  In the
event of the insolvency and the appointment of conservator, liquidator or
statutory successor of the ceding company, such portion shall be payable to
such conservator, liquidator or statutory successor immediately upon demand,
with reasonable provision for verification, on the basis of claims allowed
against the insolvent company by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any
conservator, liquidator or statutory successor of the company having authority
to allow such claims, without diminution because of such insolvency or because
such conservator, liquidator or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a
portion of any claims.  It is agreed, however, that the liquidator, receiver,
or statutory successor of the Company shall have to give written notice to the
Reinsurer of the pendency of a claim against the Company subject to this
Agreement within a reasonable time after such a claim is filed in the
insolvency proceeding and that during the pendency of such claim, the Reinsurer
may investigate such claim and raise, at its own expense, any defenses which it
may deem available to the Company or its liquidator, receiver or statutory
successor.

The expense incurred by the Reinsurer shall be chargeable, subject to court
approval, to the Company as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of
the proportionate share of the benefits which may accrue to the Company as a
result of the defense undertaken by the Reinsurer.  When two or more reinsurers
are involved in the same claim and a majority in interest elect to interpose a
defense or defenses to any such claim, the expense shall be apportioned in
accordance with the terms of the reinsurance agreements the same as though such
expense had been incurred by the Company.

Reinsurer's Insolvency

In the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation or
dissolution of the Reinsurer, the Company may retain all or any portion of any
amount then due or which may become  due to the Reinsurer under this Agreement
and use such amounts for the purposes of paying any and all liabilities of the
Reinsurer incurred under this Agreement.  When all such liability hereunder has
been discharged, the Company shall pay the Reinsurer, its successor, or
statutory receiver, the balance of such amounts withheld as may remain.

                                   ARTICLE IX

OFFSET

Relative solely to the business reinsured hereunder each party hereto shall
have, and may exercise at any time, the right to offset any balance or
balances, due from such party to the other.  The party asserting the right of
offset shall have and may exercise such right whether the balance to such party
from the other are on account of premiums or on account of losses or otherwise
and regardless of the capacity, whether as assuming insurer or as ceding
insurer, in which each party acted under the Agreement.

ARBITRATION

Resolution of disputes as a condition precedent to any right of action arising
hereunder, in the event of any dispute between the Reinsurer (or its successor
in interest) and the Company (or its successors in interest), arising out of or
relating to provision of this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration in
the following manner.

One arbitrator shall be chosen by the Company, the other by the Reinsurer, and
an Umpire shall be chosen by the two arbitrators before they enter upon
arbitration, all of whom shall be active or retired disinterested executive
officers of insurance or reinsurance companies.  In the event that either party
should fail to choose an arbitrator within 30 days following a written request
by the other party to do so, the requesting party may choose two arbitrators
who shall in turn choose an Umpire before entering upon arbitration.  If the
two arbitrators fail to agree upon the selection of an Umpire within 30 days
following their appointment, each arbitrator shall nominate three candidates
within 10 days thereafter, two of whom the other shall decline, and the
decision shall be made by drawing lots.

Each party shall present its case to the arbitrator within 30 days following
the date of appointment of the Umpire and the arbitrators shall hand down a
decision within 45 days of the closing of the arbitration hearing.  The
arbitrators shall consider this agreement as an honorable engagement rather
than merely as a legal obligation and they are relieved of all judicial
formalities.  The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on
both parties; but failing to agree, they shall call in the Umpire and the
decision of the majority shall be final and binding upon both parties.
Judgment upon the final decision of the arbitrators may be entered in any court
of competent jurisdiction.

If more than one reinsurer is involved in the same dispute, all such reinsurers
shall constitute and act as one party for purposes of this Article and
communications shall be made by the Company to each of the reinsurers
constituting one party, provided, however, that nothing herein shall impair the
rights of such reinsurer to assert several, rather than joint, defenses or
claim, nor be construed as changing the liability of the reinsurer
participating under the terms of this Agreement from several to joint.

Any arbitration proceedings shall take place in Kansas, at a location mutually
agreed upon by the parties to this Agreement, but notwithstanding the location
of the arbitration, all proceedings pursuant hereto shall be governed by the
law of the state in which the Reinsurer has its principal office.

                                   ARTICLE XI

EXCESS INTEREST, DIVIDENDS

The Company will pay no excess interest nor dividend on the reinsured policies
without prior approval of the Reinsurer.  Such approval shall not unreasonably
be withheld.

                                  ARTICLE XII

REINSURER'S OPTIONS

The Reinsurer at its sole discretion, subject to all regulation approvals as
may be required, shall have the option to undertake all administrative
functions with respect to the policies coinsured hereunder upon 60 days notice
and the Administrative Expense as provided in Article VII shall thereafter not
be payable.

The Coinsurance Agreement between Unified Life Insurance Company and John Adams
Life Insurance Company of America, Reference:ULI_JAL.TRT, entered into on
September 9, 1996, and effective from July 1, 1996, is hereby amended by adding
to Article VI, following the third paragraph of that Article, on page 4 of the
Agreement, the following paragraph:

      "In the event that a supporting asset as designated in Exhibit D is sold,
      redeemed or otherwise disposed of, the Reinsurer shall have the right to
      designate other assets to replace the asset no longer held.  Further, in
      the event the supporting assets should be less than the net policy
      liabilities at the end of any quarter, the Reinsurer shall within 15 days
      of the reporting of such shortfall designate additional assets or
      supporting assets as may be needed so that the supporting assets shall
      not be less than the net policy liabilities.  To the extent there is a
      realized or unrealized gain or loss with respect to a designated asset,
      that gain or loss times the ratio of the net policy liabilities to the
      total book value of the supporting assets on or coinciding with quarter
      end shall pass to the Reinsurer."

All other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment 1 effective as of
July 1, 1996, at the offices of the Reinsurer in Overland Park, Kansas, which
shall be the site of this contract.
