          Report of Independent Accountants


          Board of Directors
          Shelby Life Insurance Company


          We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Shelby Life 
Insurance
          Company (the Company) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the 
related
          statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the 
years then
          ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company's
          management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial
          statements based on our audits.
          We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
          standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to
          obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of
          material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
 evidence
          supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit
          also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
          estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial
          statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis
          for our opinion.
          In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in
          all material respects, the financial position of the Shelby Life 
Insurance
          Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its 
operations and
          its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally 
accepted
          accounting principles.

          Shelby Life Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements


              1.   organization, Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations:
               Organization
               Shelby Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a wholly-owned 
subsidiary
               of Delta Life and Annuity Company (Delta).  Delta, a Tennessee
               corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Life 
Corporation (DLC),
               a Delaware corporation. During 1995, the Company received 
approval for
               redomestication to Tennessee.  Accordingly, the Company is 
chartered and
               licensed in the State of Tennessee and is licensed in various 
other
               states.  Prior to 1995, the Company was chartered and licensed 
in the
               State of Ohio as The Shelby Life Insurance Company of Shelby, 
Ohio. Basis
               of Presentation
               The accompanying financial statements of the Company are 
prepared on the
               basis of generally accepted accounting principles.  Such 
accounting
               principles differ from statutory reporting practices used by 
insurance
               companies in reporting to state regulatory authorities. The 
preparation of
               financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting
               principles requires management to make various estimates that 
affect the
               reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of 
contingent
               assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of 
revenues and
               expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
Effective
               December 31, 1993, Delta acquired all of the common stock of 
the Company.
               The fair value of the assets acquired was $123.2 million and 
liabilities
               assumed totaled $107.7 million.  The acquisition has been 
accounted for
               under the purchase method.  During 1994 Delta incurred 
additional amounts
               associated with the acquisition totaling $302,048. Nature of 
Operations
               The Company markets individual life insurance, annuities and 
investment
products to its policyholders, primarily in the eastern half of the United
States.  Its products are distributed through independent agents and
brokers. The operating results of companies in the insurance industry have
historically been subject to significant fluctuations due to competition,
economic conditions, interest rates, investment performance, maintenance
of insurance ratings, regulation and taxation, and other factors. 2.
summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Investments
During 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities".  Under the statement the Company's investments
               have been classified as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale.
Securities classified into the held-to-maturity category are accounted for
at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts and, when
necessary, declines in value considered to be other than temporary.  It is
management's intention to hold securities classified as held-to-maturity
           under all reasonably foreseeable conditions.  Securities in the
available-for-sale category are carried at market value, with changes in
the market value being accounted for as changes in stockholders' equity.
               The Company has no trading account securities. Policy Loans
Policy loans are recorded at cost.  As policy loans have no stated
maturity and are often repaid by account withdrawals or surrenders, it is
not practical to estimate their fair values. Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The Company purchases U.S. Government securities under agreements to
resell within one to five days.  Due to the short-term nature of the
agreements, the Company does not take possession of such securities.
            Reverse repurchase agreements, which are recorded at cost which
approximates fair value, are included in other investments and amounted to
               approximately $2,370,000 at December 31, 1995.
               Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments, other than
reverse repurchase agreements, purchased with a remaining maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Deferred Policy Acquisition
               Costs
Policy acquisition costs (principally commissions incurred at policy
          issuance, premium taxes and certain sales, issue and underwriting
expenses) associated with new annuity and life business are deferred when
incurred.  The deferred costs related to traditional life insurance are
amortized over the premium payment period using assumptions consistent
with those used in estimating reserves.  Deferred costs related to
         annuities and interest sensitive products accrue interest and are
amortized at a constant rate based on the present value of the estimated
 gross profits expected to be realized over the life of the contracts.
       Estimates of expected gross profit are evaluated periodically, and the
    total amortization recorded to date is adjusted by a charge or credit to
 current amortization if actual experience or other evidence suggest that
 earlier estimates should be revised.  Amortization related to deferred
              policy acquisition costs are included in operating expenses.
 2.   summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: Present
               Value of Future Profits
  The present value of future profits (PVFP) represents the present value of
  the anticipated annual profits of the business in force on December 31,
  1993 (the date Delta acquired the Company), net of purchase accounting
  adjustments.  The PVFP is being amortized over the life of the business in
  proportion to estimated gross profits for the deferred annuities and
           universal life business and estimates of future premiums for the
  traditional life business.  The amortization is included in operating
  expenses.  Estimates of expected gross profit are evaluated periodically,
  and the total amortization recorded to date is adjusted by a charge or
  credit to current amortization if actual experience or other evidence
  suggest that earlier estimates should be revised.  The portion of PVFP
  attributable to the purchase accounting adjustments of investments at the
  purchase date is being amortized over the average remaining term of the
               investments purchased and is included in investment income.
               Revenue and Policy Liabilities
       Premiums received on annuity and life deposits are recorded as
  deposits into the policyholder's account balance.  Revenue related to
  these contracts consists of earnings from the invested deposits and
  applicable mortality, withdrawal and administrative  charges.  These
  deposits consist of the policyholders' account balances plus amounts
  deposited by the policyholders, interest credited to the policy, and
             less withdrawals by the policyholder, sales, mortality and
  administrative charges deducted by the Company. Premiums on annuity
  policy liabilities are recognized as revenue when received.  Policy
  liabilities are computed using the net level premium method and
  assumptions as to investment yields, mortality and expenses at the
                    date of issue.
                    Reinsurance
  Reinsurance premiums, claims and claim adjustment expenses are accounted
 for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original
        policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts.
 2.   summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued: Income
               Taxes
            Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax
  consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
  or tax returns.  Additionally, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
  determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax
  bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the
            year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation
  allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to
               the amount expected to be realized. Policy Charges
  Policy charges are comprised generally of policy fees and withdrawal
               penalties and are recorded as earned.
                    Other Income
 Other income is comprised generally of commissions and expense allowances
               on reinsurance ceded  and is recorded as earned.
               Concentration of Risk
  The Company had cash deposits in excess of federally insured amounts of
               approximately $1,096,000 at December 31, 1995.
  3.   Reconciliation With Statutory Reporting Practices: Financial
  statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
   principles differ in some respects from the statutory accounting practices
   prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities.  The most
   significant differences are as follows: (a) acquisition costs of obtaining
   new business are deferred and amortized over the approximate life of the
   policies rather than charged to operations as incurred; (b) benefit
   liabilities are computed using a net level method and are based on
   realistic estimates of expected mortality, interest, and withdrawals as
        adjusted to provide for possible unfavorable deviation from such
        assumptions, (c) deferred income taxes are provided for temporary
        differences between financial and taxable earnings; (d) the Asset
   Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve are restored to
  stockholders' equity; (e) certain items are reported as assets rather than
  being charged directly to surplus (referred to as nonadmitted items); (f)
  certain items of interest income, principally accrual of bond discounts,
   are amortized differently; and (g) valuation differences on debt
               securities.
  3.   Reconciliation With Statutory Reporting Practices, continued: The
  reconciliations of net income and stockholders' equity prepared in
  conformity with statutory reporting practices to that reported in the
               accompanying financial statements are as follows (in 000's):

                   6.   income Taxes, Continued:
 Management believes that realization of the above deferred tax assets is
 more likely than not primarily due to the reversal of existing taxable
 temporary differences as well as a strong earnings history.  Consequently,
               no valuation allowance was deemed necessary.
              7.   reinsurance:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company cedes reinsurance to other
insurers under various contracts that cover individual risks or entire
classes of business.  These arrangements limit the risk arising from large
 policies.  The Company retains a maximum of $100,000 of coverage per
individual life.  Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from
its obligation to policyholders.  A contingent liability exists for
reinsurance ceded which would become a liability of the Company in the
 event that any reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under the
 reinsurance agreements. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the years
 then ended, the approximate impact on the financial statements due to all
ceded reinsurance agreements in force during the year was as follows:

 8.   supplemental Cash Flows Information: During 1995, the Company
 paid cash and received refunds for income taxes of $414,656 and $113,656,
 respectively.  During 1994, the Company paid cash for income taxes of
               $427,750.
 9.   Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts
 reported in the balance sheet for other investments, cash and cash
 equivalents, accrued investment income, ceded reserves and claims,
 accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and amounts
 payable to parent approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of
 these instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument in which it
 is possible to estimate that value and fair value does not approximate
               carrying value.
 9.   Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments, continued:
               Investments
 The fair value of debt securities are determined primarily by reference to
               a pricing service or the dealer market.
               Annuity and Life Deposits
 The fair value of these contracts is estimated as the policyholder's net
cash surrender value which the policyholder may withdraw at their option.
 The carrying value and fair value of these instruments is as follows:

 10.  Profit Sharing Plan:
 The Company's employees participate in DLC's discretionary profit sharing
plan under which up to ten percent of an employee's compensation may be
contributed in any calendar year for employees with at least one year of
service.  In addition, employees may contribute up to five percent of
their compensation.  During 1995 the Company contributed approximately
               $5,600 to the profit sharing plan.
          11. Related Party Transactions:
The Company is party to an agreement with DLC whereby DLC provides
investment advisory services for a fee of 15 basis points per annum on
invested assets.  This fee, which is charged to net investment income,
            amounted to approximately $151,000 and $162,000 in 1995 and 1994,
               respectively.
   During 1994, the Company entered into a management agreement with DLC.
  Pursuant to the agreement, Delta will provide certain management services
   to the Company for a fee of 75 basis points on statutory premiums received
  plus 10 basis points of the Company's net admitted assets at the end of
  each quarter.  However, no fees were charged under this agreement in 1995
               or   1994.
 11.  Related Party Transactions, continued: Effective December 31, 1993,
 Delta entered into a service agreement with the former parent on behalf of
 the Company whereby certain operations of the Company would continue to be
 performed by the former parent for a period of up to twelve months.
    During 1995 and 1994, the Company paid approximately $299,030 and
 $1,128,000, respectively, as reimbursement fees to the former parent.  The
 agreement was terminated April 17, 1995. Various operating expenses and
costs are allocated to the Company by Delta.  These amounts are reflected
             in the payable to parent balances at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
          12. commitments and Contingencies:
               Guaranteed Rates
 The Company assumes investment risk on contracts it issues by guaranteeing
 the principal value of policyholders' accounts plus a minimum interest
rate.  The guaranteed interest rates are set on the anniversary date of
  the contract and range from 4% to 7.5% depending upon the particular
               contract form.
               Investment Purchase Commitments
 At December 31, 1995, the Company has made commitments to purchase
approximately $3,840,000 of mortgage backed securities at a rate of 6.5%.
               Guaranty Fund
  Under insurance guaranty fund laws, in most states, insurance companies
  doing business therein can be assessed up to prescribed limits for
  policyholder losses incurred by insolvent companies. The Company does not
  believe such assessments will be materially different from amounts already
  provided for in the financial statements.  Most of these laws do provide,
  however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would
               threaten an insurer's own financial strength.
               Litigation
  A number of civil jury verdicts have been returned against life insurers
  in the areas in which the Company does business involving a variety of
 matters.  Some of the lawsuits have resulted in substantial judgments and
  punitive damages.  The Company, like other life insurers, from time to
  time is involved in such litigation.  To date, no such lawsuit has
 resulted in the award of any significant amount of damages against the
 Company.  Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with
  certainty, the Company is not aware of any litigation that will have a
 material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
               operation, or cash flows.
 12.  commitments and Contingencies, Continued: Statutory Capital and
              Surplus
Under Tennessee statute, the Company is required to maintain statutory
   capital and surplus amounts of $2,000,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
   As a Tennessee domiciled insurance company, the Company is subject to
  certain regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.  The maximum
               dividend which may be paid during 1996 without prior consent is
               $1,660,855.
          13. subsequent Event:
   During February of 1996, the Company declared dividends of $13 per share
               and totaling $325,000.
  On November 8, 1996, Delta closed on a stock purchase agreement for the
  sale of all of the outstanding common stock of the Company to Standard
Life Insurance Company of Indiana, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard
 Management Corporation.  Under the terms of the agreement, the sales price
is comprised of cash and an extraordinary dividend totaling approximately
 $16 million and 250,000 shares of restricted common stock of Standard
               Management Corporation.

                           Notes to Financial Statements (Dollars in Thousands,
                         Unaudited)

                              September 30, 1996

          1. Basis of Presentation

 The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
 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 GAAP for complete financial statements.
 Such principles were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in the
 Shelby Life Insurance Company (the Company) financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  However, certain reclassifications have been made in
         the 1995 financial statements to conform with the 1996 presentation.

 The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are
 not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
         year.  This is particularly true in the life insurance industry, where
          mortality results in interim periods can vary substantially from such
 results
       over a longer period.    In the opinion of management, the information
  contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of
   operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations.  All
          such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
  and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and
 accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future
  as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and
         disclosed herein.

 For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
 footnotes thereto included in the Company's financial statements  for the year
          ended December 31, 1995.

          2 . Subsequent Event

 On November 8, 1996, the Company closed on a stock purchase agreement for the
sale of all of the outstanding common stock of the Company to Standard Life
Insurance Company of Indiana, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard Management
 Corporation.  Under the terms of the agreement, the sales price is comprised of
          cash of $16,000 and 250,000 shares of restricted
          common stock of Standard Management Corporation.

Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements Dollars in Thousands, Except Per 
Share Amounts (Unaudited)


Background Information

The following pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 gives
effect to the acquisition of Shelby Life Insurance Company ("Shelby Life") from
Delta Life and Annuity Company ("DLAC"), and the merger of Shelby Life into
Standard Life Insurance Company of Indiana ("Standard Life"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Standard Management Corporation ("Standard Management"), as if it
had occurred as of the balance sheet date.  The merger of Shelby Life was
consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 18, 1996
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14,
1996.  The pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1995, and nine months ended September 30, 1996, are presented as
if the transaction had occurred as of January 1, 1995.

 The pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to represent what
Standard Management Corporation's ("Standard Management") financial position or
results of operations actually would have been had the transaction in fact
occurred on the dates indicated, or to project Standard Management's financial
position or results of operations for any future date or period. The pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes
 thereto and the separate historical consolidated financial statements of
      Standard Management and Shelby Life as of and for the nine months ended
        September 30, 1996, and as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995.

            The pro forma adjustments are applied to the historical consolidated
  financial statements of Standard Management and Shelby Life to account for the
          transaction under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
  Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB No.16"). Under this method of
 accounting, the total purchase cost has been allocated to Shelby Life's assets
          and liabilities based on their estimated relative fair values.  These
 allocations are subject to valuations as of the date of the transaction based
on appraisals and other studies, which are not yet completed.  Accordingly, the
    final allocations will be different from the amounts reflected herein.  Any
  purchase price adjustments will be made within one year from the acquisition
  date and are not expected to be material to the pro forma combined financial
    statements taken as a whole.  The pro forma combined financial statements,
     however, reflect management's best estimate based on currently available
          information.

       The total acquisition cost to purchase Shelby Life is comprised of the
            following:

            Cash payment, provided by senior debt of $10,000 and the balance in
                 subordinated
                 convertible debt                                   $13,000
            Restricted SMC Common Stock                                 1,250
                                                              14,250
               Acquisition costs and other liabilities
       directly related to the acquisition                               400
                                   TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE     $14,650

                          STANDARD MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

          Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements (Dollars in 
Thousands, Except
          Per Share Amounts, Unaudited)

          (A) Shelby Life's financial statement captions have been reclassified
 to
              conform with Standard Management's classifications.

          Adjustments to the pro forma combined balance sheet to give effect
 to the
          purchase of Shelby Life as of September 30, 1996, are summarized 
below.

          (B) Held to maturity securities have been reclassified as available 
for sale
              securities at the purchase consistent with the intention of new 
management.

          (C) Shelby Life's fixed maturity securities held to maturity are 
restated to
              estimated fair value, and related deferred federal income 
taxes and
              unrealized gain (loss) on securities are recorded.

          (D) Amount is net proceeds from borrowings and payment made to 
DLAC for the
              purchase of Shelby Life.

          (E) Deferred policy acquisition costs of Shelby Life has been 
eliminated under
              purchase accounting.

          (F)    Present value of future profits for business previously 
acquired by
                 Shelby Life has been eliminated under purchase accounting 
and replaced
                 with the present value of future profits from existing 
insurance
                 acquired in association with the purchase of Shelby Life. 
Present value
                 of future profits has been actuarially determined using a 
15 percent
                 discount rate.

          (G) Goodwill acquired in the purchase of Shelby Life is recognized.

          (H) Other assets have been increased for the deferred debt issuance 
costs of
              the commitment fees paid for the borrowings on the revolving 
line of credit
              agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") and subordinated 
convertible debt
              and the issuance of SMC Common Stock warrants in connection 
with the
              Amended Credit Agreement. Other assets have also been decreased
 by the
              additional amount of agents' balances deemed to be uncollectible.

          (I)    Accounts payable has been increased due to the $3,000 
dividend payable
                 to DLAC at closing and the accrual of estimated 
acquisition costs
                 associated with the transaction.

          (J)    Notes payable are increased to reflect the increased 
borrowings under
                 the Amended Credit Agreement and subordinated convertible 
debt.

          (K)    Deferred tax liabilities have been recorded primarily for the
                 actuarially determined present value of future profits from 
existing
                 insurance, and net deferred tax assets have been reclassified 
to offset
                 the net pro forma deferred tax liability.

                           STANDARD MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

          Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements (Continued)

          (L) The Shelby Life historical shareholders' equity and related 
average shares
              outstanding is eliminated under purchase accounting.

          (M) Common stock has been adjusted for the repurchase of SMC Common 
Stock
              warrants issued to Conseco ($600) and the issuance of SMC Common 
Stock
              warrants to Fleet Bank in connection with the Amended Credit 
Agreement
              ($75).

          (N) Treasury stock has been decreased to reflect the reissuance of 
250,000
              shares of SMC Common Stock held in treasury to DLAC.

          Adjustments to the pro forma combined statement of operations to give
 effect to
          the purchase of Shelby Life as of January 1, 1995 are summarized 
below.

          (P)    Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value 
of future
                 profits recorded by Shelby Life prior to the purchase has been
                 eliminated and replaced with the amortization of the present 
value of
                 the future profits as a result of the transaction.  The amount
 resulting
                 from the transaction is being amortized over 20 years with 
interest
                 equal to the liability rate.  Amortization of goodwill acquired
 in the
                 transaction is recognized over a 20-year period on a 
straight-line
                 basis.

          (Q) Operating expenses were reduced for the cost savings realized by 
planned
              reductions in total employees, professional fees and other costs.
  The
              plans have either been implemented or are in process of being 
implemented.

          (R) Interest expense and financing costs is increased to reflect the 
increase
              in borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and the 
subordinated
              convertible debt and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs
              associated with the Amended Credit Agreement.

          (S)    Federal income tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the 
income tax
                 effects of the pro forma adjustments, based on SMC's tax rate 
of 34
                 percent.

          (T) Average common shares outstanding are increased to reflect the 
restricted
              SMC Common Stock shares issued to DLAC, the repurchase of SMC 
Common Stock
              warrants issued to an unaffiliated insurer and the issuance of 
SMC Common
              Stock warrants in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement.
