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.

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:

        insurance expenses                         334,000       382,000
</TABLE>

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:

</TABLE>

     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.

                 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.

              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

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.

     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.
