                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Laurentian Capital Corporation

    We  have  audited the  consolidated financial  statements and  the financial
statement schedules of Laurentian Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries listed in
the index  on  page  F-1 of  this  Form  10-K. These  financial  statements  and
financial   statement  schedules   are  the  responsibility   of  the  Company's
management. Our  responsibility is  to  express an  opinion on  these  financial
statements and financial statement schedules 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 consolidated  financial position  of  Laurentian
Capital  Corporation and Subsidiaries as  of December 31, 1993  and 1992 and the
consolidated results of their  operations and their cash  flows for each of  the
three  years in the period ended December  31, 1993 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting  principles.  In addition,  in  our opinion,  the  financial
statement  schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects,
the information required to be included therein.

    As discussed in Notes 1 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements,  the
Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes in 1993.

   (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    ORGANIZATION  AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION  -- The consolidated financial
statements  include,   after  intercompany   eliminations,  Laurentian   Capital
Corporation  (individually or collectively with  its subsidiaries, the Company),
and its  wholly-owned subsidiaries,  principally Loyal  American Life  Insurance
Company  (Loyal), and Prairie  States Life Insurance  Company (Prairie). Prairie
owns Rushmore National Life Insurance Company (Rushmore).

    The Imperial  Life Assurance  Company of  Canada (Imperial)  directly  owned
approximately  72% of the Company,  and Imperial's parent, Laurentian Financial,
Inc. directly owned approximately  10% of the Company  as of December 31,  1993.
Laurentian  Financial, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Laurentian Group
Corporation (Group). Effective  January 1,  1994, Group became  a subsidiary  of
Desjardins   Laurentian  Financial  Corporation   (Desjardins  Laurentian).  The
ultimate  owner  of  Desjardins  Laurentian  is  La  Confederation  des  caisses
popularies et d'economie Desjardins du Quebec.

    BASIS  OF PRESENTATION  -- The  accompanying financial  statements have been
prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),  which
vary  from accounting principles  used by its  subsidiaries to prepare financial
statements filed with state insurance departments.

    INVESTMENTS -- Investments are reported as follows:

        - Fixed maturities (bonds, notes and redeemable preferred stocks)
          -- at cost,  adjusted for amortization  of premium or  discount
          and other than temporary market value declines. The Company has
          the ability and intent to hold such investments to maturity and
          accordingly, reports these investments at amortized cost.

        - Equity  securities (common and  nonredeemable preferred stocks)
          -- at  current  market  value,  net  of  other  than  temporary
          impairments in market value.

        - Mortgage  loans on  real estate --  at unpaid  balances, net of
          valuation allowances and adjusted  for amortization of  premium
          or discount.

        - Investment  real estate -- at cost, net of valuation allowances
          and  less   allowances  for   depreciation  computed   on   the
          straight-line method.

        - Policy loans -- at unpaid balances.

        - Short-term investments -- at cost, which approximates market.

    Realized  gains and  losses on  sales of  investments are  recognized in net
income. The cost of investments sold is determined on a specific  identification
basis.  Temporary market  value changes  in equity  securities are  reflected as
unrealized gains  or losses  directly  in stockholders'  equity net  of  related
income  taxes  and, accordingly,  have  no effect  on  net income.  The  rate of
amortization of discount or premiums  on mortgage-backed securities is  adjusted
to  reflect  the current  rate  of prepayments  on  the related  securities. The
amortization adjustments are  recorded as  net investment income  in the  period
that the rate of prepayment changed.

    DEFERRED  POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS  -- The costs  of acquiring new business,
which vary with and are directly related to the production of new business, have
been deferred to the extent that  such costs are deemed recoverable. Such  costs
include  commissions,  certain costs  of policy  issuance and  underwriting, and
certain variable agency expenses.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
   (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    Costs  deferred  related  to  traditional  life  and  health  insurance  are
amortized  over the premium paying period of the related policies, in proportion
to the ratio of annual premium  revenues to total anticipated premium  revenues.
Such anticipated premium revenues were estimated using the same assumptions used
for computing liabilities for future policy benefits.

    Costs  deferred  related to  universal life  insurance and  deferred annuity
products are being amortized over the lives of the policies, in relation to  the
present value of estimated gross profits.

    Included  in deferred policy acquisition  costs are amounts representing the
present value  of future  profits on  business in  force of  acquired  insurance
subsidiaries,  which  represents  the  portion  of  the  cost  to  acquire  such
subsidiaries that is allocated to the value of the right to receive future  cash
flows  from  insurance contracts  existing at  the  dates of  acquisition. These
amounts are amortized  with interest over  the estimated remaining  life of  the
acquired policies.

    COSTS IN EXCESS OF NET ASSETS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED -- The costs in excess of
net   assets  of  business  acquired  are   being  amortized  to  expense  on  a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from twenty-five to forty years.

    PROPERTY AND  EQUIPMENT  -- Property  and  equipment is  reported  at  cost.
Depreciation  is charged  to operations over  the estimated useful  lives of the
assets using the straight-line method.

    CASH -- For  purposes of reporting  cash flows, cash  includes all cash  and
short-term  deposits available on demand, including certificates of deposit with
an initial term to maturity of less than three months.

    POLICY LIABILITIES -- Liabilities for future policy benefits of  traditional
ordinary  life policies are computed using  a net level premium method including
assumptions  as  to  investment   yields,  mortality,  withdrawals,  and   other
assumptions  commensurate  with  the  Company's  past  experience,  modified  as
necessary  to  reflect  anticipated   trends,  including  possible   unfavorable
deviations. The liability for future policy benefits for universal life policies
is  equal to  the accumulated fund  balance including interest  credits at rates
declared by the  Company. Interest  rate assumptions  range from  4.25% to  10%.
Assumed mortality and withdrawals are based on various industry published tables
modified  as  appropriate for  the  Company's actual  experience.  Morbidity and
withdrawals are based on actual and projected experience.

    Life insurance in  force, net of  reinsurance, as of  December 31, 1993  and
1992 was $2.6 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.

    Liabilities  for other policy claims and benefits payable include provisions
for reported claims  and an  estimate based  on ratios  developed through  prior
experience for claims incurred but not reported.

    ASSETS  HELD IN AND  LIABILITIES RELATED TO  SEPARATE ACCOUNTS -- Investment
annuity deposits  and  related  liabilities  represent  deposits  maintained  by
several  banks  under a  previously offered  tax  deferred annuity  program. The
Company receives an  annual fee from  each bank for  sponsoring the program  and
depositors may elect to purchase an annuity from the Company at which time funds
are transferred to the Company.

   (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN TABLES ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    PREMIUM  REVENUE AND RELATED  EXPENSES -- For  traditional life and accident
and health products, premiums are recognized as revenue when legally collectible
from policyholders.  Policy reserves  have been  established in  a manner  which
allocates   policy  benefits  and  expenses  on  a  basis  consistent  with  the
recognition of  related premiums  and generally  results in  the recognition  of
profits over the premium-paying period of the policies.

    For  interest-sensitive  life  and  universal  life  products,  premiums are
recorded in a policyholder account which  is classified as a liability.  Revenue
is  recognized  as amounts  are assessed  against  the policyholder  account for
mortality coverage and contract expenses. Surrender benefits reduce the  account
value. Death benefits are expensed when incurred, net of the account value.

    For  investment  type  contracts,  principally  deferred  annuity contracts,
premiums are treated as policyholder  deposits and are recorded as  liabilities.
Benefits  paid  reduce  the  policyholder  liability.  Revenues  for  investment
products consist of  investment income,  with profits  recognized as  investment
income  earned in excess of  the amount credited to  the contracts. Reserves for
these contracts  represent the  premiums  received, plus  accumulated  interest.
Contract benefits that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in
excess of related contract values, and interest credited to contract values.

    INCOME  TAXES  --  In  1993,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). SFAS 109
requires recognition of  deferred tax  liabilities and assets  for the  expected
future  tax  consequences of  events that  have been  included in  the financial
statements or  tax returns.  Under  this method,  deferred tax  liabilities  and
assets  are determined based on the  differences between the financial statement
and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect
for the year  in which  the differences are  expected to  reverse. Prior  years'
financial  statements have not  been restated to reflect  the provisions of SFAS
109. The adoption of SFAS  109 resulted in a  cumulative benefit of $400,000  or
$0.05 per common share.

    REINSURANCE   --  In  1993,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards  No.  113, "Accounting  and  Reporting for  Reinsurance  of
Short-Duration  and Long-Duration Contracts" (SFAS 113). In accordance with SFAS
113, insurance  liabilities  are reported  before  the effects  of  reinsurance.
Reinsurance receivables, including amounts related to insurance liabilities, are
reported as assets. Estimated reinsurance receivables are recognized in a manner
consistent  with the liabilities related  to the underlying reinsured contracts.
Except for  financial statement  presentation, SFAS  113 had  no impact  on  the
Company's results.

    RECENTLY   ISSUED  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS  --  In  May  1993,  the  Financial
Accounting Standards  Board (FASB),  issued  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
Standard  No.  115,  "Accounting  for Certain  Investments  in  Debt  and Equity
Securities" (SFAS 115). This statement addresses the accounting and reporting on
the ownership of  investment securities. The  statement specifically applies  to
the  accounting  for  fixed  income  securities,  which  have  historically been
reported at amortized cost. SFAS 115  allows for the continued use of  amortized
cost  reporting  only for  those securities  that the  Company has  the positive
intent and ability to hold to  maturity. Any held securities not qualifying  for
amortized cost treatment must be reported at fair value. SFAS 115 is required to
be  adopted on January 1, 1994 and the  effects of this statement on the Company
have not been quantified.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS  --  Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  in  the
previously  reported  financial  statements  to  make  the  prior  year  amounts
comparable to those of the current year.

2.  INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
    Certain  investments,  principally fixed  maturities  and mortgage  loans on
which the accrual of  interest has been discontinued,  amounted to $1.3  million
and $2.2 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    Certain investments totalling $324.9 million and $313.1 million, principally
fixed  maturities and mortgages,  were on deposit  with insurance departments of
various states for  the protection  of policyholders  at December  31, 1993  and
1992, respectively.

    Of  the fixed  maturity investments,  $8.8 million  at amortized  cost, less
other than temporary  impairments, were rated  as below investment  grade as  of
December  31, 1993.  These investments have  an associated market  value of $9.1
million. As  of December  31, 1992,  $12.7 million  at amortized  cost, with  an
associated  market value of $12.7 million  were rated as below investment grade.
Most of these  securities have  been evaluated  by the  National Association  of
Insurance  Commissioners and  found to  be suitable  for reporting  at amortized
cost. The  Company does  not expect  these investment  holdings to  result in  a
material  adverse  effect  on  either  the  financial  condition  or  results of
operations.  The  Company's  investment  strategy   is  to  hold  fixed   income
instruments  to maturity  and to recognize  other than  temporary impairments on
those investments  where reduction  in amounts  to be  received at  maturity  is
likely.

    The  amortized  cost  and estimated  market  values of  investments  in debt
securities are as follows as of December 31, 1993:

3.  OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    The following estimated fair value disclosures are limited to the reasonable
estimates of the fair value of  the Company's financial instruments, whether  or
not recognized in the balance sheet. In cases where quoted market prices are not
available,  fair  values are  based on  estimates using  present value  or other
valuation  techniques.  Those  techniques  are  significantly  affected  by  the
assumptions  used,  including the  discount rate  and  estimates of  future cash
flows. In that regard,  the derived fair value  estimates cannot necessarily  be
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not
be  realized in immediate settlement of  the instrument. The disclosures exclude
certain financial and all  nonfinancial instruments. Therefore, presentation  of
the  estimated fair  value of  assets based on  the above  methodology without a
corresponding revaluation of liabilities associated with insurance contracts can
be misinterpreted.

    POLICY LOANS

    Policy loans are issued with  interest rates that range  from 3 1/2% to  8%,
depending  on the  terms of  the insurance policy.  Future cash  flows of policy
loans are uncertain and difficult to  predict. As a result, management deems  it
impractical to calculate the fair value of policy loans.

    MORTGAGE LOANS AND REAL ESTATE

    Mortgage  loans are valued  at unpaid balances,  net of valuation allowances
and adjusted for amortization of discount  or premium. The Company has not  been
active  in mortgage lending  for some time,  and the carrying  value of the loan
portfolio has  decreased from  $73.0 million  as  of December  31, 1986  to  the
current balance of $29.4 million. Approximately 75% of the portfolio consists of
commercial  loans.  After  comparing  the  yield  and  maturity  make-up  of the
portfolio with current offerings of mortgage-backed securities (both residential
and commercial), the Company believes that the fair value of its mortgage  loans
approximates  its current  carrying value.  Real estate  is valued  at cost less
accumulated depreciation.  Appraisals  are  obtained on  a  periodic  basis  and
adjustments  are made when necessary to ensure carrying values are not in excess
of the underlying market values of the property.

4.  DEBT
    Debt as of December 31 is summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

    Repayment of the outstanding  indebtedness under the Revolving  Underwriting
Facility  (RUF) is due on April 25, 1994. The Company has been actively pursuing
refinancing of its presently outstanding debt obligations. While there can be no
assurances that the  Company will  be able to  accomplish a  refinancing of  its
presently outstanding debt, management believes that the Company has the ability
to  execute a plan which  will accomplish the desired  objectives before the RUF
becomes due.

    The Company restructured its finances  through the implementation of a  five
year  RUF for  maximum unsecured  borrowings of $55  million on  April 25, 1989.
Pursuant to the terms of the RUF, the Company pays interest at a variable  rate,
with  a maximum  rate equal  to 0.30%  above the  London Interbank  Offered Rate
(LIBOR). On  March 6,  1991, the  Company  entered into  an interest  rate  swap
agreement  which fixes the LIBOR  component of the RUF  at 7.94% beginning April
29, 1991 and continuing through April 25, 1994. There are covenants relating  to
the Company's activities and

financial  condition.  With respect  to the  financial condition  covenants, the
Company must maintain a minimum net worth, as defined, and not permit a ratio of
outstanding indebtedness, as  defined, to net  worth to be  greater than 1.0  to
1.0.

    Interest  expense included in the  consolidated statements of operations was
$4.9  million,  $5.0  million,  and  $5.0  million  for  1993,  1992  and  1991,
respectively.

    Cash  paid for interest was $4.9 million, $5.3 million, and $5.2 million for
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

</TABLE>

    A  valuation allowance of  $8.7 million has been  established as of December
31, 1993  for  certain capital  and  operating  loss carryforwards  due  to  the
uncertainty  of their eventual realization.  The valuation allowance was reduced
by $588,000 during 1993 for the realization of benefits associated with the sale
of certain real  estate assets.  During 1994 and  in later  years the  valuation
allowance  against  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  continually  evaluated  and
adjustments will be reflected in the  Statement of Operations as an increase  or
decrease in income tax expense.

    For  1992 and 1991,  under previously enacted GAAP,  the total provision for
federal income  tax differed  from amounts  currently payable  due to  providing
deferred  taxes on  certain items reported  for financial  statement purposes in
periods which differed from those in which they were reported for tax purposes.

    Under  previous life insurance company tax  laws, a portion of the Company's
gain from  operations which  was  not subject  to  current income  taxation  was
accumulated   for  tax  purposes   in  memoranda  accounts   designated  as  the
Policyholders' Surplus Accounts. The aggregate accumulation in these accounts at
December 31, 1993 was approximately $9.6 million. The unrecognized deferred  tax
liability  related  to this  temporary difference  is  $3.3 million.  Should the
accumulation in  the  Policyholders'  Surplus  Accounts  exceed  certain  stated
maximums,   or  if  certain  other  events  occur,  all  or  a  portion  of  the
Policyholders' Surplus Accounts may be subject to federal income taxes at  rates
then  in effect. Deferred taxes have not been established for such amounts since
the Company  does not  anticipate  paying taxes  on the  Policyholders'  Surplus
Accounts.

    For  federal income  tax return  purposes, the  Company has  total estimated
unused tax loss carryforwards as of December 31, 1993 as follows:

5.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
    For federal income tax purposes, the Company has total estimated  investment
tax  credit carryforwards  of $0.2  million which  expire in  years 1997 through
1999.  The  Company  has  a  total  estimated  alternative  minimum  tax   (AMT)
carryforwards  of $1.0  million which  can be  utilized in  future tax  years to
reduce current taxes payable. Utilization of  this AMT credit is limited to  the
excess,  if any, of the Company's regular  tax liability over its AMT liability.
However, this credit can be carried forward indefinitely into future tax  years.
Included  in the tax loss and credit  carryforwards are certain amounts that may
only be utilized by the company that generated the loss.

    The Company recognized  tax benefits of  $2.7 million and  $2.2 million,  in
1992  and  1991, respectively,  associated with  certain tax  loss carryforwards
related to previous acquisitions. For 1992 and 1991, under the then enacted GAAP
pronouncements, these benefits were  recorded as an  adjustment to the  purchase
price allocation and were reflected as decreases in Deferred Income Taxes, Costs
In  Excess of Net Assets Acquired, and  Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs in the
consolidated balance sheets. For 1993, under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets  have
been established for the benefits arising from net loss and credit carryforwards
of  the Company  and its  subsidiaries. Future utilization  of the  net loss and
credit carryforwards  of  the  life  insurance companies  will  not  affect  the
Company's  effective tax rate  in those years  because the full  tax benefit for
these items is reflected in the  current year's financial statements. A  portion
of  the benefit realized  from the future  utilization of the  net losses of the
non-life companies will affect the Company's effective tax rates in those  years
because  a  valuation  allowance  has been  established  against  some  of these
deferred tax assets.

    Cash paid for federal income  taxes, principally alternative minimum  taxes,
was  $0.3  million, $0.4  million, and  $0.3  million for  1993, 1992  and 1991,
respectively.

6.  REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
    The Company has  authorized 5  million shares  of preferred  stock of  which
approximately  58,000 shares were issued on July 7, 1987. Each share of Series A
Redeemable Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative annual dividends of
$6 per  share.  Each  share  of  the Series  A  Redeemable  Preferred  Stock  is
convertible  into 3.75 shares of the Company's  common stock until July 7, 1994,
and 2.75 shares from July 8, 1994  until July 7, 1997, subject to adjustment  in
certain  events. The stock has  a liquidation preference of  $100 per share plus
accrued dividends  and  is  subject to  mandatory  redemption  provisions  which
provide  that no more than 80% of the  original issue will be outstanding at the
end of the sixth year after the issuance, with further reductions of 20% of  the
original  issue being required in each of  the following four years. During 1993
and 1992, the Company  completed tender offers wherein  4,534 and 4,697  shares,
respectively,  of the redeemable preferred stock  were purchased for $87 and $75
per share,  respectively, and  subsequently  retired. The  mandatory  redemption
provision  for 1994 has not been satisfied as a result of the 1993 tender offer.
In order to satisfy  the 1994 mandatory redemption  provision, the Company  must
redeem 6,868 additional shares.

    The  remaining 4.9 million unissued shares of preferred stock may be divided
into series with  rights and preferences  established at the  discretion of  the
Board of Directors.

7.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND RESTRICTIONS
    Dividend  payments  to  the  Company  from  its  insurance  subsidiaries are
restricted by state  insurance law as  to the  amount that may  be paid  without
prior  notice  or  approval  by insurance  regulatory  authorities.  The maximum
dividend distribution which can be made by the Company's insurance  subsidiaries
during  1994 without prior notice or approval is $7.0 million. Dividend payments
of $4.3 million, $2.1 million, and $4.0 million were made to the Company by  its
insurance  subsidiaries during the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

7.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND RESTRICTIONS (CONTINUED)
    In connection with the  1989 acquisition of  Rushmore, the policyholders  of
Rushmore  are entitled to 90% of  the statutory accounting earnings arising from
the existing participating business during the ten years after the  acquisition.
In  addition,  the statutory  surplus  which was  in  existence at  the  date of
acquisition has been distributed to the policyholders.

    Approximately 17%  of  the  Company's  insurance  in  force  is  related  to
participating  insurance  policies.  A  portion  of  the  Company's  earnings is
allocated to these policies based on excess interest earnings, mortality savings
and premium  loading  experience.  Premium income  and  dividends  allocated  to
participating policies during the past three years were as follows:

</TABLE>

    The Plan allows the Company  to grant up to  800,000 Rights to officers  and
key  employees. Rights entitle the grantee  to receive the appreciation in value
of the shares (the difference between market price of a common share at the time
of exercise  of  the  Rights  and  the base  price)  in  cash.  The  Rights  are
exercisable during the term fixed by the Company, but in no case sooner than six
months or later than ten years after the date of grant.

    No  Rights  were exercised  or cancelled  during  1993. There  are currently
349,044 rights  granted at  exercise prices  ranging from  $2.125 to  $5.50  per
share.  Compensation expense  recorded in  1993, 1992  and 1991  with respect to
these Rights was approximately $720,000, $966,000, and $262,000, respectively.

8.  STOCK OPTION AND OTHER INCENTIVE PLANS (CONTINUED)
DEFERRED AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

    The  Company  has   various  incentive  and   deferred  compensation   plans
administered  by the  Human Resources  Committee of  the Board  of Directors. In
1993, 1992 and 1991, the Company recognized associated expenses of approximately
$698,000, $532,000, and $382,000, respectively.

9.  RELATED PARTY MATTERS
    The Company paid or accrued approximately $209,000, $214,000, and  $431,000,
to  Group  and its  affiliates for  various  services in  1993, 1992,  and 1991,
respectively.

    During the fourth quarter of 1991, the Company obtained regulatory  approval
for  the acquisition of a block of  insurance policies from Imperial. The effect
of this acquisition increased total revenues by $1.2 million.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
    The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing savings plan for employees who
meet certain eligibility requirements. This plan provides for a Company matching
contribution of 25-50% of  eligible employee contributions up  to 6% of  salary.
Supplemental  Company contributions are provided based on consolidated earnings.
The Company  contributed  approximately $148,000,  $98,000  and $58,000  to  the
401(k) profit sharing savings plan during 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, for
employee  matching. Effective January  1, 1993, the  Company instituted a profit
sharing element which  provides for  contributions by the  Company ranging  from
2-6%  of the  annual salary  of eligible  employees. An  additional $425,000 was
accrued in 1993 for the plan's profit sharing element.

    In January 1993, the  Company filed a standard  termination notice with  the
Pension  Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) for  the purpose of terminating the
Company's former  defined benefit  pension plan.  The Company  ceased to  accrue
benefits  for service cost as of December  31, 1992, and all participants in the
plan  became  fully  vested  at  that  date.  On  March  22,  1993  a  favorable
determination   was  issued  by  the  Internal   Revenue  Service  on  the  plan
termination. The Company then distributed plan assets to vested participants  in
accordance   with   PBGC  established   formulas.   The  Company   made  funding
contributions of $1.1 million to satisfy all plan obligations. Distribution  was
in  the form of either  a rollover to the  Company 401(k) profit sharing savings
plan, a purchase  of a non-participating  annuity contract, or  a lump sum  cash
payment.

    Net pension cost associated with the former defined benefit pension plan for
1992 and 1991 included the following components:

    The  pension  cost for  1992 includes  a  charge of  $182,000 relating  to a
partial settlement  of the  plan's liabilities  resulting from  the purchase  of
certain annuities, and a credit of $262,000 relating to the cessation of service
cost  accruals as of December 31, 1992 as  a result of the Company's decision to
terminate the plan.

11. REINSURANCE
    The Company is contingently liable with respect to reinsurance ceded in that
the liability for  such reinsurance would  become that of  the Company upon  the
failure  of any reinsurer to meet its obligations under a particular reinsurance
agreement. The maximum liability  which the Company retains  on any one life  is
$125,000 under ordinary and group policies.

    The  Company had reinsured  approximately $0.8 billion  of life insurance in
force as of December 31,  1993 and 1992. Total  premium income ceded during  the
years  ended December 31, 1993,  1992, and 1991 was  $6.8 million, $6.4 million,
and $12.9  million, respectively.  Reinsurance recoveries  for the  years  ended
December  31, 1993,  1992 and  1991 were  $6.8 million,  $5.7 million  and $10.7
million, respectively.

    Included in  reinsurance  receivables  are $1.7  million  and  $2.6  million
representing  amounts recoverable for claims ceded  to reinsurers as of December
31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Included in other liabilities are $0.4  million
and  $1.0 million representing amounts payable  for premiums ceded to reinsurers
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    Rental  expense for operating leases was approximately $0.7 million in 1993,
$1.7 million in 1992, and $1.6 million in 1991.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

    The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet  risk
in  the normal course of business to  reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates. As of December 31, 1993, the Company was a party to a five  year
Revolving  Underwriting Facility (RUF)  for maximum unsecured  borrowings of $55
million maturing  in  April of  1994.  Pursuant to  the  RUF, the  Company  pays
interest at a variable rate, with a maximum rate equal to 0.30% above the London
Interbank  Offered Rate (LIBOR). On  March 6, 1991, the  Company entered into an
Interest Rate Swap Agreement (SWAP AGREEMENT) to reduce the impact of changes in
interest rates on  its floating debt.  The SWAP AGREEMENT  is with a  commercial
bank  for  a notional  amount  of $55  million.  This agreement  has effectively
changed the Company's interest  rate exposure on the  RUF from a floating  LIBOR
rate  to a fixed LIBOR rate of 7.94%.  The SWAP AGREEMENT matures at the time of
the RUF maturity. The Company is exposed  to interest rate risk in the event  of
nonperformance by the commercial bank.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO CREDIT RISK

    BONDS:

    The  Company's  bond  investment  portfolio  is  predominately  comprised of
investment grade securities. At December 31, 1993, approximately $8.8 million in
debt securities  (1.9%  of debt  securities)  are considered  "below  investment
grade".  Securities  are classified  as  "below investment  grade"  by utilizing
rating criteria employed by independent bond rating agencies.

    The Company  has  approximately  87%  of its  $459  million  fixed  maturity
portfolio  invested  in assets  of  either U.S.  government  agency pass-through
mortgages (GNMA, FNMA, or  FHLMC) or "private-label" mortgage-backed  securities
as of December 31, 1993.

    MORTGAGE LOANS:

    Mortgage loans are primarily related to underlying real property investments
in   office  and  apartment  buildings   and  retail/commercial  and  industrial
facilities.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
    As of  December  31, 1993,  delinquent  mortgage loans  (i.e.,  loans  where
payments  on principal and/ or  interest are over 60  days past due) amounted to
$1.3 million, or 4.4% of the  loan portfolio. The Company had loans  outstanding
in  the states of Colorado and Florida, with principal balances in the aggregate
exceeding $4 million.

LITIGATION

    The Company is involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course
of business. Management does not anticipate any judgments against the Company in
excess of liabilities already  established which would  have a material  impact,
individually  or  in the  aggregate,  on the  financial  position or  results of
operations of the Company.

13. STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    Insurance subsidiaries  of  the  Company  are  required  to  file  statutory
financial  statements  with state  insurance regulatory  authorities. Accounting
principles  used  to  prepare  these  financial  statements  differ  from  GAAP.
Consolidated  net income and  shareholders' equity on a  statutory basis for the
insurance companies for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

                LAURENTIAN CAPITAL CORPORATION (PARENT COMPANY)
                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The  condensed financial  statements of Laurentian  Capital Corporation (the
parent company)  should  be read  in  conjunction with  the  Laurentian  Capital
Corporation   and  Subsidiaries  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes
thereto.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The accompanying  parent  company  financial  statements  reflect  only  the
accounts  of Laurentian Capital Corporation.  The parent company's investment in
its subsidiaries is  reflected on  the equity basis.  Intercompany accounts  and
transactions  have not  been eliminated since  consolidated financial statements
are not presented.

2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    During 1992, the  Company restructured  its holding in  Prairie States  Life
Insurance Company (Prairie). Following approval by the Division of Insurance for
the  State of South  Dakota, Prairie was  sold to a  wholly-owned life insurance
subsidiary of the  Company, Prairie  National Life Insurance  Company, of  Rapid
City,  South Dakota (Prairie National). As part of the consideration for Prairie
National purchasing Prairie,  Prairie National  issued capital stock  and a  $35
million  surplus  debenture to  the parent  company.  Interest and  repayment of
principal on the  debenture is  subject to prior  approval by  the South  Dakota
Division  of Insurance. Since April 4, 1992,  the date of the restructuring, the
Division of Insurance  has approved $2.2  million and $1.8  million in  interest
payments  associated with the surplus debenture for the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively. Principal payments of $4.5 million were approved by
the Division of Insurance during 1993.

    During 1992,  the parent  company sold  equity securities  to its  insurance
subsidiaries  at fair market value  at the dates of  sale. Total proceeds, which
consisted of  cash  and marketable  securities,  amounted to  $7.9  million  and
resulted in a loss on transfer of $1.5 million.
