                                    COMPANY

Information  regarding London Pacific Life & Annuity Company (the "Company") and
its ownership is contained in the Prospectus.

The Company contributed the initial capital to the Separate Account. As of April
1,  1997,  the  initial   capital   contributed   by  the  Company   represented
approximately  17.0% of the total  assets of the Separate  Account.  The Company
currently intends to remove these assets from the Separate Account on a pro-rata
basis in proportion to money invested in the Separate Account by Owners.

                                    EXPERTS

The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, and the financial
statements  of the  Separate  Account  for the  period  from  January  31,  1996
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1996, included in this Statement of
Additional Information have been so included in reliance on the reports of Price
Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants,  given on the authority of said firm as
experts in auditing and accounting.

                                LEGAL OPINIONS

Legal matters in connection with the Contracts described herein are being passed
upon  by  the  law  firm  of  Blazzard,  Grodd  &  Hasenauer,   P.C.,  Westport,
Connecticut.

                                  DISTRIBUTOR

London Pacific Financial and Insurance Services acts as the distributor.  London
Pacific  Financial  and Insurance  Services is an affiliate of the Company.  The
offering is on a continuous basis.

          YIELD CALCULATION FOR THE BERKELEY MONEY MARKET SUB-ACCOUNT

The Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account of the Separate Account will calculate its
current  yield based upon the seven days ended on the date of  calculation.  The
Company does not  currently  advertise  any yield  information  for the Berkeley
Money Market Sub-Account.

The current yield of the Berkeley Money Market  Sub-Account is computed daily by
determining  the net change  (exclusive  of capital  changes)  in the value of a
hypothetical  pre-existing  Owner account  having a balance of one  Accumulation
Unit  of  the  Sub-Account  at the  beginning  of the  period,  subtracting  the
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the  Administrative  Charge, the Distribution
Charge and the Contract Maintenance Charge, dividing the difference by the value
of the Owner  account  at the  beginning  of the same  period to obtain the base
period return and multiplying the result by (365/7).

The Berkeley Money Market  Sub-Account  computes its effective compound yield by
determining  the net  changes  (exclusive  of capital  change) in the value of a
hypothetical  pre-existing  Owner account  having a balance of one  Accumulation
Unit  of  the  Sub-Account  at the  beginning  of the  period,  subtracting  the
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, the  Administrative  Charge, the Distribution
Charge and the Contract  Maintenance  Charge and dividing the  difference by the
value of the Owner  account at the  beginning  of the base  period to obtain the
base period  return,  and then  compounding  the base period return by adding 1,
raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the
result,  according to the  following  formula:  Effective  Yield = ((Base Period
Return  +1)  365/7)-1.   The  current  and  the  effective  yields  reflect  the
reinvestment   of  net  income  earned  daily  on  the  Berkeley   Money  Market
Sub-Account's assets.

Net  investment  income for yield  quotation  purposes  will not include  either
realized capital gains and losses or unrealized  appreciation and  depreciation,
whether reinvested or not.

The yields quoted should not be considered a representation  of the yield of the
Berkeley  Money Market  Sub-Account  in the future since the yield is not fixed.
Actual  yields will depend not only on the type,  quality and  maturities of the
investments  held by the Berkeley  Money Market  Sub-Account  and changes in the
interest  rates on such  investments,  but also on changes in the Berkeley Money
Market Sub-Account's expenses during the period.

Yield  information  may be useful in reviewing the  performance  of the Berkeley
Money Market  Sub-Account  and for providing a basis for  comparison  with other
investment alternatives.  However, the Berkeley Money Market Sub-Account's yield
fluctuates,  unlike bank  deposits or other  investments  which  typically pay a
fixed yield for a stated period of time.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time,  the Company may advertise  performance  data as described in
the Prospectus. Any such advertisement will include total return figures for the
time periods  indicated  in the  advertisement.  Such total return  figures will
reflect the  deduction of a 1.25%  Mortality  and Expense  Risk  Charge,  a .15%
Administrative  Charge, a .10% Distribution  Charge, the investment advisory fee
and expenses for the underlying  Portfolio  being  advertised and any applicable
Contract Maintenance Charge.

The hypothetical value of a Contract purchased for the time periods described in
the  advertisement  will be  determined  by using the actual  Accumulation  Unit
values for an initial  $1,000  purchase  payment,  and deducting any  applicable
Contract  Maintenance  Charge to arrive at the ending  hypothetical  value.  The
average  annual total return is then  determined by computing the fixed interest
rate that a $1,000  purchase  payment  would have to earn  annually,  compounded
annually,  to grow to the  hypothetical  value  at the end of the  time  periods
described. The formula used in these calculations is:

                                     n
                             P  (1+T)  =  ERV

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>      <C>
Where:
   P  =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
   T  =  average annual total return
   n  =  number of years
 ERV  =  ending redeemable value at the end of the time periods used (or
         fractional portion thereof) of a hypothetical $1,000 payment
         made at the beginning of the time periods used.
</TABLE>

In addition to total return data,  the Company may include yield  information in
its  advertisements.  For each Sub-Account (other than the Berkeley Money Market
Sub-Account)  for which the Company will advertise  yield,  it will show a yield
quotation  based on a 30 day (or one month) period ended on the date of the most
recent  balance  sheet of the  Separate  Account  included  in the  registration
statement,  computed by dividing the net investment income per Accumulation Unit
earned during the period by the maximum  offering price per Unit on the last day
of the period, according to the following formula:

                                                 6
                     Yield  =  2  [(  a-b  +  1)    -  1]
                                      ----
                                       cd

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>     <C>  <C>
Where:

        a =  Net investment income earned during the period by the Portfolio
             attributable to shares owned by the Sub-Account.

        b =  Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).

        c =  The average daily number of Accumulation Units outstanding
             during the period.

        d =  The maximum offering price per Accumulation Unit on the
             last day of the period.
</TABLE>

The  Company  may also  advertise  performance  data which may be  computed on a
different  basis which may not include  certain  charges.  If such  charges were
deducted, the performance would be lower.

Owners  should  note  that  the  investment  results  of each  Sub-Account  will
fluctuate over time, and any presentation of the  Sub-Account's  total return or
yield for any period  should not be considered  as a  representation  of what an
investment  may earn or what an  Owner's  total  return  or yield  may be in any
future period.

                              ANNUITY PROVISIONS

Variable  Annuity  Payments  reflect the investment  performance of the Separate
Account in accordance with the allocation of the Adjusted  Contract Value to the
Sub-Accounts  during the Annuity Period.  Annuity  Payments also depend upon the
Age of the Annuitant and any Joint  Annuitant  and the assumed  interest  factor
utilized. The Annuity Table used will depend upon the Annuity Option chosen. The
dollar amount of Variable Annuity Payments for each applicable Sub-Account after
the first Variable Annuity Payment is determined as follows:

     1. The dollar amount of the first  Variable  Annuity  Payment is divided by
the value of an Annuity Unit for each  applicable  Sub-Account as of the Annuity
Date.  This sets the number of Annuity  Units for each  monthly  payment for the
applicable  Sub-Account.  The number of Annuity  Units  remains fixed during the
Annuity Period.

     2. The fixed  number of Annuity  Units per payment in each  Sub-Account  is
multiplied by the Annuity Unit Value for that Sub-Account for the last Valuation
Period of the month  preceding  the month  for which the  payment  is due.  This
result is the dollar amount of the payment for each applicable Sub-Account.

The total  dollar  amount of each  Variable  Annuity  Payment  is the sum of all
Sub-Account  Variable Annuity Payments reduced by the applicable  portion of the
Contract Maintenance Charge.

ANNUITY  UNIT

The value of any Annuity Unit for each  Sub-Account of the Separate  Account was
arbitrarily set initially at $10.

The Sub-Account Annuity Unit Value at the end of any subsequent Valuation Period
is determined as follows:

     1. The Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation Period is multiplied
by the  value  of the  Annuity  Unit  for the  Sub-Account  for the  immediately
preceding   Valuation  Period.  The  Net  Investment  Factor  is  equal  to  the
Accumulation  Unit  Value  for  the  current  Valuation  Period  divided  by the
Accumulation Unit Value for the immediately preceding Valuation Period.

     2. The result in (1) is then divided by the Assumed  Investment Rate Factor
which equals 1.00 plus the Assumed  Investment Rate for the number of days since
the  preceding  Valuation  Date.  The  Assumed  Investment  Rate is  equal to an
effective annual rate of 4%.

The value of an Annuity Unit may increase or decrease from  Valuation  Period to
Valuation Period.

NOTE  1  -  ORGANIZATION

LPLA Separate Account One ("Separate  Account") is a separate investment account
of London Pacific Life & Annuity Company  ("Company").  The Separate Account was
established  on November 23, 1994 under the insurance laws of the State of North
Carolina for the purpose of issuing flexible payment variable annuity contracts.
Under North  Carolina's  insurance laws, the assets of the Separate  Account are
clearly  identified and  distinguished  from the other assets and liabilities of
the Company. The Separate Account cannot be charged with liabilities arising out
of any other business of the Company.

The Separate  Account is a unit investment  trust registered with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940.  Contract
owners  may  allocate  their  account  values  to one or  more  of the  Separate
Account's investment  Sub-Accounts.  Funds of the investment Sub-Accounts of the
Separate  Account  are  invested  exclusively  in  a  corresponding   investment
portfolio of the LPT Variable  Insurance Series Trust ("Trust") managed by LPIMC
Insurance  Marketing Services ("LPIMC"),  a registered  investment advisor and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

NOTE  2  -  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

The  following  is a summary of  significant  accounting  policies  which are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles  consistently followed
by the Separate  Account in the  preparation  of its financial  statements.  The
preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during
the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVESTMENTS - Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.  Investments
held by the  Sub-Accounts  are  stated at the net  asset  value per share of the
respective investment portfolio of the Trust. Realized gains and losses on sales
of shares of the Trust are determined based on the first-in,  first-out  method.
Dividends and capital gain  distributions  are recorded on the ex-dividend  date
and are reinvested in additional shares of the respective  investment  portfolio
of the Trust.

FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES - Operations  of the Separate  Account are included in the
income tax return of the  Company,  which is taxed as a life  insurance  company
under the Internal  Revenue  Code.  The Separate  Account will not be taxed as a
registered  investment company under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under  existing  federal  income tax law, no taxes are payable on the investment
income or on the capital gains of the Separate Account.

NOTE  4  -  RELATED  PARTY  TRANSACTIONS

The Company  assesses a charge of 1.25% per annum based on the average daily net
assets of each  Sub-Account  at each  valuation  date for  mortality and expense
risks.  The Company also charges each  Sub-Account .15% and .10% per annum based
on the  average  daily net assets of each  Sub-Account  for  administrative  and
distribution expenses,  respectively.  These charges are deducted from the daily
unit value of each Sub-Account but are paid to the Company on a monthly basis.

A  contract  maintenance  charge  of $36 is  currently  deducted  on the  policy
anniversary  date and upon full  surrender  of the policy  when the  accumulated

NOTE  6  -  DIVERSIFICATION  REQUIREMENTS

Under the provisions of Section  817(h) of the Internal  Revenue Code a variable
annuity contract,  other than a contract issued in connection with certain types
of  employee  benefit  plans,  will not be treated as an  annuity  contract  for
federal  income tax  purposes  for any period for which the  investments  of the
segregated  asset  account  on which the  contract  is based are not  adequately
diversified. The Code provides that the "adequately diversified" requirement may
be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test
or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary
of Treasury.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued  regulations under Section 817(h) of the
Code.  The Company  believes that it satisfies the current  requirements  of the
regulations, and it intends that the Separate Account will continue to meet such
requirements.

NOTE  7  -  AMOUNT  RETAINED  BY  THE  COMPANY

The amount  retained by the Company is  attributable  to the  Company's  initial
contribution to the Separate Account and the underlying  investment results. The
change in this  amount  arises from that  portion,  determined  ratably,  of the
Separate Account's  investment results applicable to the net assets owned by the
Company.  The  funds  contributed  by the  Company,  as well  as any  investment
appreciation  or  depreciation,  are not  subject to charges for  mortality  and
expense risks, administration expenses and distribution expenses.

Amounts  retained by the Company in the Separate  Account may be  transferred by
the Company to its General Account at any time.

To  the  Board  of  Directors  of  London  Pacific  Life  &  Annuity
Company  and  Contract  Owners  of  LPLA  Separate  Account  One

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  statement of assets and  liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial position of each of the Sub-Accounts (MAS
Value, MFS Total Return, Salomon U.S. Quality Bond, Salomon Money Market, Strong
International  Stock,  Strong Growth,  Berkeley Smaller  Companies and Lexington
Corporate Leaders)  constituting LPLA Separate Account One at December 31, 1996,
the  results of each of their  operations  and the  changes in each of their net
assets  for  the  period  indicated,   in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of
London Pacific Life & Annuity  Company's  management;  our  responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on these  financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We
conducted our audits of these financial  statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing  standards which 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,  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of investments owned at December 31, 1996 by
correspondence  with the  Trust,  provide a  reasonable  basis  for the  opinion
expressed above.

February 3, 1997

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
London Pacific Life & Annuity Company

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of London Pacific Group Limited)

We have  audited the  accompanying  statutory  statements  of  admitted  assets,
liabilities,  capital and surplus of London  Pacific  Life & Annuity  Company (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of London Pacific Group Limited) as of December 31, 1996
and 1995,  and the related  statutory  statements of  operations,  of changes in
capital and surplus, and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. 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.

As described in Note 1, these  financial  statements were prepared in conformity
with  accounting  practices  prescribed  or  permitted  by  the  North  Carolina
Department  of  Insurance,   which  practices  differ  from  generally  accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to
represent a  presentation  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the
statutory  basis of accounting  and generally  accepted  accounting  principles,
although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.



To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
London Pacific Life & Annuity Company

Page 2
February 3, 1997

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above (1) do not present
fairly  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,   the
financial position of London Pacific Life & Annuity Company at December 31, 1996
and 1995,  or the  results of its  operations  or its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended  December 31, 1996 because of the effects of the
variances  between the  statutory  basis of accounting  and  generally  accepted
accounting  principles referred to in the third paragraph of this report and (2)
do present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  its financial  position and the
results  of its  operations  and its cash  flows,  on the  basis  of  accounting
described in Note 1.

(formerly  Govett  &  Company   Limited).   The  Company  has  two  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  LPIMC Insurance  Marketing  Services (the Marketing  Company),  a
registered  investment advisor and London Pacific Financial & Insurance Services
(the  Broker  Dealer),  a  registered  broker-dealer.  The  Company  is  engaged
primarily in the  development  and  marketing of annuity  products and universal
life  insurance.  Although the Company is licensed and sells its universal  life
and annuity products in 40 states, its primary markets are California,  Florida,
Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Washington.

The  preparation  of  financial   statements  of  insurance  companies  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
amounts reported and disclosed herein.

     BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the North Carolina Department of
Insurance  which is a  comprehensive  basis of accounting  other than  generally
accepted  accounting  principles.   Significant  differences  between  statutory
accounting  principles and generally accepted  accounting  principles (GAAP) are
described in Note 2.

     INVESTMENTS

     Investments  are  recorded  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of the
National  Association  of Insurance  Commissioners  (NAIC).  Bonds not backed by
loans are reported at cost or amortized  cost;  the discount or premium on bonds
is amortized  using the interest  method.  For  loan-backed  bonds,  anticipated
prepayments  are considered  when  determining  the  amortization of discount or
premium.  Prepayment  assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys and are based
on the  current  interest  rate  and  economic  development.  The  retrospective
adjustment  method is used to value all such securities except for interest-only
securities,  which are valued using the prospective method. Preferred stocks are
carried at NAIC  Securities  Valuation  Office (SVO)  values.  Common stocks are
reported at market  value as  determined  by the SVO and the related  unrealized
capital gain/(loss) is reported in unassigned surplus without any adjustment for
federal income taxes.  The Company's  subsidiaries are reported at equity in the
underlying  statutory  basis of their net assets.  As of December 31, 1996,  the
carrying  value of the Company's  investment  in  subsidiaries  was  $1,025,980.
Short-term investments are carried at cost which approximates market value.

     INTEREST  RATE  SWAP  CONTRACTS

     The Company  enters into  interest  rate swap  programs  for the purpose of
minimizing  exposure to fluctuations  in interest rates.  The notional amount of
the single  matched swap in place at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was  $9,000,000.
The unexpired term at December  31,1996 was five months.  During the term of the
swap,  the net swap  settlement  amount is accrued over time as an adjustment to
other expense or other income.

     Gains or losses on  termination  are deferred and  amortized as an interest
adjustment over the remaining life of the underlying financial instrument. There
are no  outstanding  matched  swaps at a loss  position at December 31, 1996 and
1995.  The Company does not act as an  intermediary  or broker in interest  rate
swaps.

1.   SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (CONTINUED)

     FOREIGN  EXCHANGE  FORWARD  CONTRACTS

     The  Company  enters  into  foreign  exchange  forward  contracts  to hedge
exposure  to  currency  risk  on  foreign  denominated  bonds.  The  cost of the
contracts  is  included  as  part  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  underlying
securities.  As of December 31, 1996,  the notional  amount of the contracts was
$60,752,853 and expire in December 1997. The Company uses the deferral method to
account for foreign  exchange  forward  contracts.  Under the  deferral  method,
realized  and  unrealized  gains and losses  from these  forward  contracts  are
deferred on the Statutory Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, Capital and
Surplus.  Upon disposal of the hedged  security,  deferred  gains and losses are
recognized  in  net  realized  capital  gains  in  the  Statutory  Statement  of
Operations. The Company only enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with
brokers deemed to be credit worthy by management.

     ELECTRONIC  DATA  PROCESSING  EQUIPMENT

     Electronic  data   processing   equipment  is  recorded  at  cost,  net  of
accumulated  depreciation  of $1,783,263 and $1,511,059 at December 31, 1996 and
1995. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of five years.  Depreciation expense amounted to $272,204,  $346,495
and $361,961 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

     REMITTANCES  AND  ITEMS  NOT  ALLOCATED

     Remittances and items not allocated consist primarily of cash received with
policy applications for policies that have not been issued.

     POLICY  AND  CONTRACT  CLAIMS

     Policy  and  contract  claims of  $294,629  and  $244,046  related to death
benefits payable on life and annuity contracts have been accrued at December 31,
1996 and 1995. The remaining  policy and contract claims of $87,800 and $173,524
at December 31, 1996 and 1995 relate to estimated incurred but unreported claims
on life contracts.

     SEPARATE  ACCOUNT

     Separate  account  assets  and  liabilities  reported  in the  accompanying
Statutory  Statement  of  Admitted  Assets,  Liabilities,  Capital  and  Surplus
represent funds that are separately administered for variable annuity contracts,
and for which the contractholder,  rather than the Company, bears the investment
risk.  Separate  account assets are reported at market value.  The operations of
the separate account are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the  prior  years'  financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

2.   DIFFERENCES  BETWEEN  GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND
STATUTORY  ACCOUNTING  PRINCIPLES

     Statutory  accounting  principles  vary in  some  respects  from  generally
accepted accounting principles. The more significant of these differences are as
follows:

2.   DIFFERENCES  BETWEEN  GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND
STATUTORY  ACCOUNTING  PRINCIPLES  (CONTINUED)

     INVESTMENTS

     Market  values of  certain  investments  in bonds and  stocks  are based on
values  specified by the NAIC,  rather than on values provided by outside broker
confirmations or internally calculated estimates. For GAAP, investments in bonds
would   be   designated   at   purchase   as   held-to-maturity,   trading,   or
available-for-sale.  Held-to-maturity  fixed  investments  would be  reported at
amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity  investments  would be reported
at fair value with  unrealized  holding gains and losses  reported in operations
for those  designated  as trading and as a separate  component of  shareholders'
equity for those designated as available-for-sale. Realized gains and losses are
reported  in income net of income tax rather than on a pretax  basis.  The Asset
Valuation Reserve is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula and is reported as
a liability rather than as a valuation allowance or an appropriation of surplus.

     SUBSIDIARIES

     The  accounts  and  operations  of  the  Company's   subsidiaries  are  not
consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company.

     POLICY  ACQUISITION  COSTS

     The costs of acquiring  and renewing  business are expensed  when  incurred
rather than capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related policies.

     NON-ADMITTED  ASSETS

     Certain  assets  designated as  "non-admitted,"  principally  furniture and
equipment,  are excluded from the accompanying  Statutory Statements of Admitted
Assets, Liabilities,  Capital and Surplus and are charged directly to unassigned
surplus.

     PREMIUMS

     Single  premium  whole life,  annuity and flexible  premium  variable  life
insurance considerations are recognized as earned upon issuance of the contract,
whereas under GAAP,  premium  income  consists of mortality  charges,  surrender
charges  earned,  policy  fees  earned and amounts  deducted  from  policyholder
accounts.

     BENEFIT  RESERVES

     Certain  policy  reserves  are  calculated  based on  statutorily  required
interest and mortality  assumptions rather than estimated expected experience or
actual account balances.

     INCOME  TAXES

     Deferred  income taxes are generally not provided for  differences  between
the financial statement amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

5.   FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES

     The provision for federal income taxes has been computed in accordance with
provisions  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  as amended.  The  Company  files a
separate federal income tax return and is not included in a consolidated  return
with affiliated entities.

     The Company's total tax expense differs from an amount computed by applying
the federal income tax of 35 percent to statutory income. The four primary items
required  to   reconcile   taxable   income  and   statutory   income  are:  (1)
capitalization  of  policy  acquisition  costs,  (2)  differences  in  computing
reserves for statutory and tax purposes,  (3)  differences  in statutory and tax
bases of assets sold, and (4) differences in timing for the deduction of accrued
expenses.

6.   AGGREGATE  RESERVES  FOR  LIFE  POLICIES  AND  CONTRACTS

     Aggregate  reserves for life policies and  contracts  have  generally  been
computed  using  the  Commissioners'  Reserve  Valuation  Method  (CRVM)  or the
Commissioners'  Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM) prescribed by the North
Carolina  Department of Insurance.  The aggregate reserves for life policies and
contracts were computed on a policy-by-policy basis.

     Statutory  reserves  for  policy  benefits  due  under  universal  life and
accumulation  annuity  insurance  contracts are computed  using the CRVM and the
CARVM,  respectively.  The CRVM and  CARVM  reserves  established  for  specific
contracts are the greater of a formula  reserve or the cash  surrender  value of
the contract.

     The formula reserves for the universal life policies are computed using the
1980  Commissioners  Standard Ordinary (CSO) mortality table and a 4.0% discount
rate.   These   assumptions  are  in  compliance  with  the  minimum   statutory
requirements.

     The  accumulation  annuity  insurance  contracts  include a single  premium
deferred annuity product and a flexible  premium  deferred annuity product.  The
formula  reserves for the single  premium  deferred  annuity are higher than the
cash surrender  value due to the one year interest rate  guarantee  provision of
these contracts.  The Company  computed  reserves with an interest rate of 5.50%
for 1996 issues,  6.00% for 1995 issues and 6.50%-5.50%  for 1994 issues.  These
rates are the maximum statutory interest rates for such contracts.  For flexible
premium deferred  annuities,  the cash surrender value is never greater than the
formula  reserves,  but may be equal to the CARVM  reserve  due to the  calendar
quarter interest  guarantee  provision of these contracts.  The Company uses the
same interest rates to compute  reserves as are used for single premium deferred
annuities.

     Reserves  for  policy  benefits  due  under  immediate   annuity  insurance
contracts are based on a present value actuarial  computation  using a statutory
discount rate and a statutory mortality basis. The reserves are based on the 83a
table and with a discount  rate of 6.75% for 1996,  7.25% for 1995 and 6.50% for
1994.

     The withdrawal  characteristics  of annuity actuarial  reserves and deposit
liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

     Fair values are based on published  quotations of the SVO of the NAIC. Fair
values generally  represent quoted market value prices for securities  traded in
the public marketplace,  or analytically  determined values using bid or closing
prices for securities not traded in the public marketplace. However, for certain
investments  for which the NAIC does not provide a value,  the Company  uses the
amortized  cost  amount  as a  substitute  for  fair  value in  accordance  with
prescribed  guidance.  As of  December  31,  1996 and  1995,  the fair  value of
investments  in  debt  securities   includes   $863,848,633  and   $646,886,351,
respectively, of debt securities that were valued at amortized cost.

     The  cost or  amortized  cost  and the fair  value  of debt  securities  at
December 31, 1996, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities
will differ from contractual  maturities because borrowers may have the right to
call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

9.   REINSURANCE

     The maximum amount of direct universal life insurance  retained on any life
is $250,000.  Amounts in excess of $250,000 are ceded on a Yearly Renewable Term
basis of  reinsurance.  Life  insurance  ceded to other  companies for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 totaled  $47,349,000  and  $53,210,000 or 11.7%
and 12.4% of life  insurance  in force,  respectively.  A  contingent  liability
exists with respect to insurance ceded which would become a liability should the
reinsurer  be  unable  to  meet  the  obligations   assumed  under   reinsurance
agreements.

10.  SURPLUS

     Under the Insurance  Code of the State of North  Carolina,  in a given year
the  Company  may make  dividend  distributions  without  prior  approval of the
Insurance  Commissioner up to the lesser of its net gain from operations for the
preceding  year or 10% of surplus as of December 31 of the preceding  year.  The
maximum   dividend  that  could  be  paid  during  1997  without  the  Insurance
Commissioner's approval is $5,992,652.

     The NAIC has adopted  Risk-Based  Capital (RBC)  requirements  which became
effective  December  31,  1993,  that attempt to evaluate the adequacy of a life
insurance  company's  adjusted  statutory  capital  and  surplus in  relation to
investment,  insurance and other business risks.  The RBC formula is used by the
states  as an  early  warning  tool  to  identify  possible  weakly  capitalized
companies for the purpose of initiating regulatory action and is not designed to
be a basis for ranking the financial strength of insurance companies.  In states
which have adopted the NAIC  regulations,  the new RBC requirements  provide for
four  different  levels of  regulatory  attention  depending on the ratio of the
company's  adjusted capital and surplus to its RBC. As of December 31, 1996, the
adjusted  capital and surplus of the Company is  substantially  in excess of the
minimum level of RBC that would require regulatory response.

11.    COMMITMENT  AND  CONTINGENT  LIABILITIES

     Rental expense for all leases was $550,944, $722,359 and $847,389 for 1996,
1995  and  1994,   respectively.   Future  minimum  rental   commitments   under
noncancelable   operating  leases  for  office  space  and  equipment  aggregate
$1,137,364 through 2000. The amounts due by year are $500,225 in 1997,  $281,139
in 1998, $267,000 in 1999 and $89,000 in 2000.

     The Company has contingent  liabilities  resulting from  anticipated  state
guaranty  association  assessments for life insurers deemed insolvent during the
year.  Although the total amount of this  exposure is not known,  a  substantial
portion of the amount  assessed will be recovered  against  future premium taxes
under  current  laws and  regulations.  As of  December  31,  1996,  the Company
estimates its net  contingent  liability for future state  guaranty  association
assessments  is within  range of  $500,000  to  $2,000,000.  The Company has not
committed any surplus funds to reserve for the contingent liability. The Company
recognizes its obligation for guaranty fund  assessments when it receives notice
that an amount is payable to a guaranty  fund.  Expenses  incurred  for guaranty
fund  assessments  were  $1,674,481,  $1,075,244 and $431,456 in 1996,  1995 and
1994, respectively.

     The Company has been named as a cross-defendant in a complaint filed by The
American Endeavor Fund Limited where the plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $2
million.  The Company believes that the alleged claims are without merit.  While
these claims are being contested, the outcome is not predictable with assurance.
The Company  believes that any liability  resulting from these claims should not
have a material adverse affect on the Company's statutory surplus.

12.  ASSET  VALUATION  AND  INTEREST  MAINTENANCE  RESERVES

     The purpose of the AVR is to decrease the  volatility  of the  incidence of
asset  losses and to  recognize  the long term  return  expectations  for equity
investments.  The  increase or  decrease to this  reserve is charged or credited
directly to surplus.

     The  purpose  of the IMR is to  minimize  the  effect of gains  and  losses
arising from gradual interest rate movements. All realized gains and losses (net
of tax)  classified as interest  related are  accumulated and amortized into net
income over the remaining period to maturity of the security sold. The effect of
recording  the IMR at December  31,  1996,  1995 and 1994 was to defer total net
capital gains of $12,352,297, $10,190,326 and $10,832,237,  respectively, and to
recognize $683,806,  ($185,844) and $945,197,  respectively, of IMR amortization
into income.

13.   FAIR  VALUES  OF  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS

     The  following  disclosure  of  the  estimated  fair  values  of  financial
instruments  is made  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of
Financial  Instruments."  The estimated fair value amounts have been  determined
using available  market  information and  appropriate  valuation  methodologies.
However,  considerable  judgment is required to interpret market data to develop
these estimates.  Accordingly, these estimates are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts  which could be realized in a current  market  exchange.  The use of
different  market  assumptions or estimation  methodologies  may have a material
effect on the  estimated  fair value  amounts.  For  financial  instruments  not
separately  disclosed below, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair
value.

     POLICY  RESERVES

     In accordance with SFAS No. 107, estimated fair values have been calculated
on policy reserves only for those products determined to be investment-type. The
estimated fair value of deferred  annuity and universal  life  contracts  equals
account value after deduction of surrender charges.  The estimated fair value of
immediate  annuity  contracts is based on the present value of expected benefits
using a discount rate equal to the 5-year Treasury rate.

14.   CONCENTRATIONS  OF  CREDIT  RISK

     At December  31, 1996,  the Company  held  unrated or  less-than-investment
grade corporate bonds of $190,052,147.  Those holdings  amounted to 16.6% of the
Company's  investments  in bonds  and less  than  14.1% of the  Company's  total
admitted  assets.  The holdings of  less-than-investment  grade bonds are widely
diversified  and management  believes are of  satisfactory  quality based on the
Company's investment policies and credit standards.
