The Company's  operations are managed along five principal  insurance product
lines:  Home Service  Life,  Broker Life,  Preneed  Life,  Dental,  and Other
Health.  Products  in all five  lines  are sold  through  independent  agency
operations.   Home  Service  Life  consists  primarily  of  traditional  life
insurance  coverage  sold in amounts of $10,000 and under to middle and lower
income  individuals.   This  distribution   channel  is  characterized  by  a
significant  amount of agent  contact  with  customers  throughout  the year.
Broker  Life  product  sales  consist   primarily  of  simplified  issue  and
graded-benefit  policies in amounts of $10,000 and under.  Other  products in
this  segment  which  are not  aggressively  marketed  include:  group  life,
universal life,  annuities and  participating  life  coverages.  Preneed Life
products are sold to individuals in connection with  prearrangement  of their

The Company  evaluates  performance  based on several  factors,  of which the
primary  financial  measure  is segment  profit.  Segment  profit  represents
pretax  earnings,  except net realized  investment gains and interest expense
are excluded.  The majority of the Company's  realized  investment  gains are
generated from investment in equity  securities.  The equities  portfolio has
averaged (on a cost basis)  approximately  $19,500,000 and $14,000,000 during
the six months  ended June 30,  1999 and 1998,  respectively.  If these funds
had been invested in  fixed-maturities  yielding  6.5%,  realized  investment
gains would have  declined  and the six month  segment  profit  totals  below
would have  increased  by an  additional  $372,000  and  $286,000 in 1999 and
1998, respectively.

Note 4 - NET REALIZED CAPITAL GAINS, NET OF EXPENSE

The Company nets certain direct, incremental investment management fees and
margin loan interest cost against net realized investment gains and losses
presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  Such costs
are based directly on or, are primarily associated with, realized capital
gains.  Costs netted against realized investment gains total $296,700 and
$527,286 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.



Note 5 - INCOME TAXES

Current taxes are provided based on estimates of the projected effective
annual tax rate.  Deferred taxes reflect the net effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Part I;  Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations




                             FINANCIAL POSITION


Fixed maturities  decreased  $3,175,000  based on amortized cost,  during the
first six months of 1999.  Equity securities  increased  $7,318,000 on a cost
basis  and  increased  $9,345,000  on market  value  basis,  during  the same
period.   Gross   unrealized   appreciation  for   available-for-sale   fixed
maturities and equity  securities  increased  approximately  $403,000  during
the six months ended June 30, 1999.




                                 OPERATIONS


Net  premiums and other  considerations  increased  approximately  15% during
the  first  six  months of 1999  compared  to the  first six  months of 1998.
This  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  United
Liberty Life Insurance  Company (United  Liberty) during May 1998, along with
approximately  3% growth in the Company's  other product lines.  Preneed Life
premium  associated with the United Liberty  acquisition  generated growth of
approximately  12%  compared  to the  prior  year.  Premium  growth  for  the
Company's  primary,  previously  existing products - Broker Life, Dental, and
Home Service  Life,  totaled 5%, 4%, and 2%,  respectively.  The 37% increase
in  investment  income  compared to the first three  months of the prior year
is also primarily attributable to the United Liberty acquisition.

Total pretax earnings  increased  approximately 76% to $3,794,000 for the six
months  ended  June 30,  1999,  primarily  due to an  approximate  $1,885,000
increase  in realized  investment  gains,  net of  expenses.  Pretax  Segment
Profit  (excluding  realized  investment gains and interest  expense) for the
first six months of 1999 was  approximately  $92,000 compared to $283,000 for
the first  six  months  of 1998.  This  decrease  is  primarily  due to costs
associated  with  expanding  the  Company's  recently  acquired  Preneed Life
segment,  somewhat higher Home Service Life mortality,  and lower  investment
income   associated  with  increased   positions  in  the  favorable   equity
markets.  In addition,  Dental  profit  margins  continue to improve due to a
number of  profitability  initiatives,  including  selective  non-renewal  of
groups with excessive claim ratios.

The  Company's  increased  earnings has also  resulted in a higher  effective
income  tax rate  due to a  phasing-out  of  available  small-life  insurance
company  deductions  and full  utilization of previously  available  non-life
insurance net operating loss carryforwards.











                           CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY


Cash flow from  operations  totaled  $207,000  for the six months  ended June
30, 1999  compared to  $361,000  for the same period in the prior year.  This
change  is  principally   attributable  to  increased   claims  and  spending
associated with business acquired in the prior year.

The  $81,000  of  cash  used in  investing  activities  reflects  essentially
equivalent  purchases  and sales of  securities  during the six months  ended
June 30, 1999,  while the  $5,575,000  of cash used in  investing  activities
for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 was  primarily  attributable  to the
acquisition  of United  Liberty Life  Insurance  Company and growth in equity
security positions.

The  $2,478,000  of cash used in  financing  activities  during the first six
months of 1999 is  primarily  attributable  to a  decrease  in the  Company's
investment  margin account  advances,  which total $179,000 at June 30, 1999,
and somewhat higher annuity withdrawals.




                               YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Some of the Company's  older computer  programs were written using two digits
rather  than  four  to  define  the  applicable  year.  As  a  result,  those
computer  programs  could fail to properly  distinguish  between dates in the
1900's and 2000's.  This could  cause  system  failures  or  miscalculations,
creating  disruption  of  operations,   including,   among  other  things,  a
temporary  inability  to  process  insurance  transactions,  conduct  banking
activities,  or  engage  in other  normal  business  activities.  Also,  some
systems   and   equipment   that   are   not   typically    thought   of   as
"computer-related"  ("non-IT") contain imbedded hardware or software that may
not perform properly after 1999.

The Company has  completed an internal  assessment of the year 2000 issue and
implemented a program to install  updated  releases or modify its software so
that its computer  systems will  function  properly  with respect to dates in
the  year  2000  and   thereafter.   The  Company's  two  primary   insurance
administrative  systems  (Individual and Group) are vendor supplied  programs
which  have  been,  or are  being,  modified  as part of the  ongoing  vendor
maintenance  process.  Modification  of the  Individual  insurance  system is
complete.  Vendor  modifications  to the  Group  insurance  system  have been

<PAGE>                       10

Part I; Item 2  (continued)

installed  and are  being  tested  by the  Company.  Most of the  peripheral,
internally  developed  programs  associated with these systems have also been
modified,  and those  remaining  are  scheduled  to be completed by September
30, 1999.  The Company's  investment  accounting  and general  ledger systems
are also vendor  supplied  programs  which have been  properly  updated.  The
Company's  primary non-IT systems involve building  equipment control modules
at its home  office.  The Company has  verified  these  systems are year 2000
compliant.

The most  significant  third-parties  potentially  impacting  the Company are
banks,  investment  brokers,  and suppliers of utility and  telecommunication
services.   Their  critical   functions  include   safekeeping  and  managing
investment  portfolios,  processing  the Company's  operating  bank accounts,
and  supplying  utilities.  Assurances  of year  2000  compliance  have  been
received from the Company's  primary banking service  provider and many other
key providers.  Efforts are ongoing to obtain additional assurances.

The total year 2000  project cost is  estimated  at  approximately  $100,000,
which  is  primarily   internal   salary  cost  for  testing  and   modifying
peripheral  programs  associated  with the  Individual  and  Group  insurance
systems.  Approximately  half of this total has been  incurred  and  expensed
with  the  remaining  half to be  incurred  and  expensed  over  the next two
quarters.  The direct  cost of  modifying  the  Individual  and Group  system
vendor  programs  is  included  in  annual   maintenance   fees  which  total
approximately $25,000.

The Company has investments in publicly and privately  placed  securities and
loans.  The  Company  may be  exposed  to  credit  risk  to the  extent  that
related  borrowers  are  materially  adversely  impacted  by  the  year  2000
issue.  Portfolio  diversification  reduces the overall  risk.  Although  the
Company  expects its critical  systems to be compliant by September 30, 1999,
there is no guarantee  that these  results  will be  achieved.  Specifically,
from year 2000  problems,  the Company could  experience an  interruption  in
its  ability  to  collect  and  process  premiums,  process  claim  payments,
safeguard  and  manage  its  invested  assets and  operating  cash  accounts,
accurately   maintain   policyholder    information,    accurately   maintain
accounting  records,  issue new policies  and/or  perform  adequate  customer
service.  While the Company  believes the  occurrence  of such a situation is
unlikely,  a possible  worst case  scenario  might include one or more of the
Company's  significant  insurance systems being non-compliant.  Such an event
could result in a material  disruption  to the Company's  operations.  Should
the worst case scenario  occur, it could,  depending on its duration,  have a
material  impact on the  Company's  results of  operations  and liquidity and
ultimately on its financial position.

     With  respect  to  contingency  plans for the Group  insurance  system,  if
unforeseen delays are encountered  during the next few months,  the Company will
develop  supplemental  manual processing  procedures to assist with group claims
adjudication.  This is not  expected to be a  significant  issue,  as most group
insurance  processing  is  not  dependent  on  date  sensitive  data.  Regarding
third-party  systems,  the Company is continuing to assess their  compliance and
will  continue  to  reassess  the need for formal  contingency  plans,  based on
progress  of year 2000  efforts  by the  Company  and third  parties.
