FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the interim results. The statements have been prepared to conform to the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The reader should refer to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 previously filed with the Commission for financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Financial Industries Corporation ("FIC") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The investment of FIC in InterContinental Life Corporation ("ILCO") is presented using the equity method. All significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 130, " Reporting Comprehensive Income." The new standard, which is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, established standards for reporting, in addition to net income, other comprehensive income and its components including, as applicable, foreign currency income, minimum pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. Upon adoption, the Company is also required to reclassify financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 1998. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 is $1.5 million and $(1.8) million, respectively. FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The following is a reconciliation of accumulated other comprehensive income from December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998 (in thousands): Net Unrealized Gain on Investments Net Total In fixed apreciation accumulated Maturities (depreciation) other Available of equity comprehensive For sale securities income Balance at December 31, 1997 $ 6,660 $ 32 $ 6,692 Current period change (822) (35) (857) Balance at March 31, 1998 $ 5,838 $ (3) $ 5,835 In June 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Generally, FAS 131 requires that financial information be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating performance. The Company is required to adopt FAS 131 effective January 1, 1998, and comparative information for earlier years must be restated. This statement does not need to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of application. New Accounting Pronouncements, continued In February 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 132, "Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which revises current disclosure requirements for employers' pension and other retiree benefits. FAS 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The Company is required to adopt FAS 132 effective January 1, 1998, with restatement of disclosures for earlier years required. In December 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments," which provides guidance on accounting for insurance-related assessments. The Company is required to adopt SOP 97-3 effective January 1, 1999. Previously issued financial statements should not be restated unless the SOP is adopted prior to the effective date and during an interim period. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operation: For the three-month period ended March 31, 1998, Financial Industries Corporation's ("FIC") net income was $2,333,000 (basic earnings of $0.43 per common share, or diluted earnings of $0.42 per common share) as compared to $2,228,000 (basic earnings of $0.41 per common share, or diluted earnings of $0.40 per common share) in the first three months of 1997. Earnings per share are stated in accordance with the requirements of FAS No. 128, which establishes two measures of earnings per share: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were convereted or exercised. For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, earnings per share have been restated to reflect the effect of FAS No. 128. Results of Operations FIC's income from operations - as determined before federal income tax and equity in net earnings of its affiliate, InterContinental Life Corporation - for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998, was $2,201,000 (on revenues of $13,476,000), as compared to $2,372,000 (on revenues of $14,076,000) in the first three months of 1997. Premiums for the first three months of 1998, net of reinsurance ceded, were $9.8 million, as compared to $10.0 million in the first three months of 1997. Policyholder benefits and expenses were $4.1 million in the 1998 period, as compared to $4.7 million in the first three months of 1997. As of March 31, 1998, the market value of the fixed maturities available for sale segment was $86.1 million as compared to an amortized value of $83.6 million, or an unrealized gain of $2.5 million. The increase reflects unrealized gains on such investments related to changes in interest rates subsequent to the purchase of such investments. There is no assurance that this gain will be realized in the future. The net of tax effect of this increase ($1.6 million at March 31, 1998) has been recorded as an increase in shareholders' equity. As required under the provisions of FAS No. 130, the determination of "Accumulated other comprehensive income" includes separate identification of the change in values which occurred during the current period. The operating strategy of the Company's management emphasizes several key objectives: expense management; marketing of competitively priced insurance products which are designed to generate an acceptable level of profitability; maintenance of a high quality portfolio of investment grade securities; and the provision of quality customer service. Equity in Net Income of InterContinental Life Corporation General: Prior to the acquisition of Family Life Insurance Company ("Family Life") in June of 1991, FIC's primary involvement in the life insurance business was through its equity interest in InterContinental Life Corporation ("ILCO"). For the three-month period ended March 31, 1998, the Company's equity in the net earnings of ILCO, net of federal income tax, was $532,000, as compared to $442,000 for the first three months of 1997. FIC currently owns 1,795,146 shares of ILCO's common stock, and holds options to acquire an additional 1,702,155 shares. The options were granted under an option agreement between FIC and ILCO which was entered into in March, 1986 ("Option Agreement"). In addition, Family Life currently owns 171,200 shares of ILCO common stock. As a result, FIC currently owns, directly and indirectly through Family Life, 1,966,346 shares (approximately 45%) of ILCO's common stock and holds options to acquire 1,702,155 shares. If all of FIC's rights under the Option Agreement were to be presently exercised, FIC's ownership would amount to approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of ILCO's common stock. The Option Agreement provides that it continues in effect as long as FIC guarantees indebtedness of ILCO. The current Senior Loan of ILCO is scheduled to be fully repaid on October 1, 1998. Accordingly, unless ILCO's Senior Loan is extended, or ILCO otherwise incurs indebtedness which is guaranteed by FIC, FIC's rights under the Option Agreement would expire on October 1, 1998. As of March 31, 1998, the market value of ILCO's fixed maturities available for sale segment was $461.6 million as compared to an amortized cost of $446.2 million, or an unrealized gain of $15.4 million. The increase reflects unrealized gains on such investments related to changes in interest rates subsequent to the purchase of such investments. Since FIC owns approximately 45% of the common stock of ILCO, the net of tax effect of this increase ($4.2 million at March 31, 1998) is included in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and has been recorded as an increase in shareholders' equity. Liquidity and Capital Resources of ILCO: ILCO is a holding company whose principal assets consist of the common stock of Investors Life Insurance Company of North America ("Investors-NA") and its subsidiary, Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana (formerly InterContinental Life Insurance Company). ILCO's primary source of funds consists of payments under the surplus debentures from Investors-NA. In December 1997, InterContinental Life Insurance Company ("ILIC"), an indirect subsidiary of ILCO, transferred its domicile from New Jersey to Indiana. Following the completion of the redomestication, ILIC merged with Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana (formerly known as Meridian Life Insurance Company and referred to as "Pre-Merger Investors-IN" for purposes of identifying the entity prior to the December, 1997 merger transaction described below), with ILIC as the surviving entity in the merger process. Immediately after the merger, ILIC changed its name to Investors Life Insurance Company of Indiana. As used hereinafter, the phrase "Investors-IN" shall be used to refer to the merged entities. The redomestication, merger and name change was previously described in detail in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. The cash requirements of ILCO consist primarily of its service of the indebtedness created in connection with the 1988 acquisition of the Investors Life Companies and the 1995 acquisition of Pre- Merger Investors-IN. As of December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligations was $11.0 million due to the prepayment by ILCO of a payment originally scheduled for the first querter of 1998. As a result, the outstanding principal balance of ILCO's senior loan obligation was $11.0 million at March 31, 1998. ILCO's principal source of liquidity consists of the periodic payment of principal and interest to it by Investors-NA, pursuant to the terms of the two surplus debentures. The surplus debentures were originally issued by Standard Life Insurance Company and their terms were previously approved by the Mississippi Insurance Commissioner. In connection with the 1993 merger of Standard Life into Investors-NA, the obligations of the surplus debentures were assumed by Investors-NA. As of March 31, 1998, the outstanding principal balances of the surplus debentures were $4.96 million and $18.34 million, respectively. Since Investors-NA is domiciled in the State of Washington, the Washington insurance law applies to the administration of the terms of the surplus debentures. Under the provisions of the surplus debentures and current law, no prior approval of the Washington Insurance Commissioner is required for Investors-NA to pay interest or principal on the surplus debentures; provided that, after giving effect to such payments, the statutory surplus of Investors-NA is in excess of $10 million (the "surplus floor"). However, Investors-NA has voluntarily agreed with the Washington Insurance Commissioner that it will provide at least five days advance notice of payments which it will make under the surplus debenture. As of March 31, 1998, the statutory capital and surplus of Investors-NA was $71.9 million, an amount substantially in excess of the surplus floor. The funds required by Investors-NA to meet its obligations to ILCO under the terms of the surplus debentures are generated from operating income generated from insurance and investment operations. In addition to the payments under the terms of the Surplus Debentures, ILCO has received dividends from Standard Life (now, from Investors-NA). Washington's insurance code includes the "greater of" standard for payment of dividends to shareholders, but has a requirement that prior notification of a proposed dividend be given to the Washington Insurance Commissioner and that cash dividends may be paid only from earned surplus. Under the "greater of" standard, an insurer may pay a dividend in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 10% of policyholder surplus or (ii) the insurer's net gain from operations for the previous year. As of March 31, 1998, Investors-NA had earned surplus of $34.7 million. Since the law applies only to dividend payments, the ability of Investors-NA to make principal and interest payments under the Surplus Debentures is not affected. ILCO does not anticipate that Investors-NA will have any difficulty in making principal and interest payments on the Surplus Debentures in the amounts necessary to enable ILCO to service the Senior Loan for the foreseeable future. Investors-IN is domiciled in the State of Indiana. Under the Indiana insurance code, a domestic insurer may make dividend distributions upon proper notice to the Department of Insurance, as long as the distribution is reasonable in relation to adequate levels of policyholder surplus and quality of earnings. Under Indiana law the dividend must be paid from earned surplus. Extraordinary dividend approval would be required where a dividend exceeds the greater of 10% of surplus or the net gain from operations for the prior fiscal year. Investors-IN had earned surplus of $19.1 million at March 31, 1998. The Form 10-Qs of ILCO for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997, set forth the business operations and financial results of ILCO and its life insurance subsidiaries. Such 10-Q reports of ILCO, including the discussion by ILCO's management under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" are incorporated herein by reference. Liquidity and Capital Resources: FIC is a holding company whose principal assets consist of the common stock of Family Life and its equity ownership in ILCO. FIC's primary sources of capital consists of cash flow from operations of its subsidiaries. The cash requirements of FIC and its subsidiaries consist primarily of its service of the indebtedness created in connection with its ownership of Family Life. As of March 31, 1998, the outstanding balance of such indebtedness was $52.3 million on the Subordinated Notes granted by Investors-NA. On April 17, 1996, the Senior Loan granted by a group of banks was completely paid off. The principal source of liquidity for FIC's subsidiaries consists of the periodic payment of principal and interest by Family Life pursuant to the terms of a Surplus Debenture. The terms of the Surplus Debenture were previously approved by the Washington Insurance Commissioner. Under the provisions of the Surplus Debenture and current law, no prior approval of the Washington Insurance Department is required for Family Life to pay interest or principal on the Surplus Debenture; provided that, after giving effect to such payments, the statutory surplus of Family Life is in excess of 6% of assets (the "surplus floor"). However, Family Life has voluntarily agreed with the Washington Insurance Commissioner that it will provide at least five days advance notice of payments which it will make under the surplus debenture. As of March 31, 1998, the statutory capital and surplus of Family Life was $30.4 million, an amount substantially in excess of the surplus floor. As of March 31, 1998, the principal balance of the Surplus Debenture was $29.6 million. The funds required by Family Life to meet its obligations under the terms of the Surplus Debenture are generated primarily from premium payments from policyholders, investment income and the proceeds from the sale and redemption of portfolio investments. Washington's insurance code includes the "greater of" standard for dividends but has requirements that prior notification of a proposed dividend be given to the Washington Insurance Commissioner and that cash dividends may be paid only from earned surplus. Family Life does not presently have earned surplus as defined by the regulations adopted by the Washington Insurance Commissioner and, therefore, is not permitted to pay cash dividends. However, since the new law applies only to dividend payments, the ability of Family Life to make principal and interest payments under the Surplus Debenture is not affected. The Company does not anticipate that Family Life will have any difficulty in making principal and interest payments on the Surplus Debenture in the amounts necessary to enable Family Life Corporation to service its indebtedness for the foreseeable future. The sources of funds for Family Life consist of premium payments from policyholders, investment income and the proceeds from the sale and redemption of portfolio investments. These funds are applied primarily to provide for the payment of claims under insurance and annuity policies, operating expenses, taxes, investments in portfolio securities, shareholder dividends and payments under the provisions of the Surplus Debenture. FIC's net cash flow provided by operating activities was $687,000 in the first three months of 1998, as compared to $1,632,000 in the first three months of 1997. Net cash flow used in financing activities was $(1,536,000) in the 1998 period, as compared to $(1,537,000) in the first three months of 1997. In connection with the purchase of the Investors Life Companies by ILCO and the purchase of Family Life by a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIC, FIC guaranteed the payment of the indebtedness created in connection with such acquisitions. After giving effect to the refinancing of the ILCO Senior Loan and the repayment of the ILCO Subordinated Loans, the guaranty commitments of FIC with respect to the debt obligations of ILCO relate to the ILCO Senior Loan, with an outstanding principal balance at March 31, 1998 of $11.0 million. The guaranty commitments of FIC under the loans incurred in connection with the acquisition of Family Life (after taking into account the repayments and new loans which occurred in July, 1993) relate to: (i) the $22.5 million note issued by Family Life Corporation to Investors Life Insurance Company of North America, and (ii) the $34.5 million loaned by Investors-NA to two subsidiaries of FIC. Management believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short term investments are sufficient to meet the needs of its business and to satisfy debt service. There are no trends, commitments or capital asset requirements that are expected to have an adverse effect on the liquidity of FIC. Investments As of March 31, 1998, the Company's investment assets totaled $117.8 million, as compared to $110.2 million as of March 31, 1997. The level of short-term investments at March 31, 1998 was $28.8 million, as compared to $25.3 million as of March 31, 1997. The fixed maturities available for sale portion represents $86.1 million of investment assets as of March 31, 1998, as compared to $82.5 million at March 31, 1997. The amortized cost of fixed maturities available for sale as of March 31, 1998 was $83.6 million representing a net unrealized gain of $2.5 million. This unrealized gain principally reflects changes in interest rates from the date the respective investments were purchased. To reduce the exposure to interest rate changes, portfolio investments are selected so that diversity, maturity and liquidity factors approximate the duration of associated policyholder liabilities. The assets held by Family Life must comply with applicable state insurance laws and regulations. In selecting investments for the portfolios of its life insurance subsidiaries, the Company's emphasis is to obtain targeted profit margins, while minimizing the exposure to changing interest rates. This objective is implemented by selecting primarily short- to medium-term, investment grade fixed income securities. In making such portfolio selections, the Company generally does not select new investments which are commonly referred to as "high yield" or "non-investment grade". The fixed maturities portfolio of Family Life, as of March 31, 1998, consisted solely of fixed maturities investments which, in the annual statements of the companies, as filed with state insurance departments, were designated under the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") rating system as a "1" (highest quality). Management believes that the absence of "high-yield" or "non- investment grade" investments (as defined above) in the portfolios of its life insurance subsidiary enhances the ability of the Company to service its debt, provide security to its policyholders and to credit relatively consistent rates of return to its policyholders. Year 2000 Compliance The Company and its subsidiaries utilize a centralized computer system to process policyholder records and financial information. In addition, the Company uses non-centralized computer terminals in connection with its operations. The software programs used in connection with these systems will be affected by what is referred to as the "Year 2000 problem" or "Y2K problem". This refers to the limitations of the programming code in certain existing software programs to recognize date sensitive information as the year 2000 approaches. Unless modified prior to the year 2000, such systems may not properly recognize such information and could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail to operate properly. The Company has evaluated its centralized computer systems and has developed a plan to reach Y2K compliance. A central feature of the plan is to convert most of the centralized systems to a common system which is already in compliance with Y2K requirements. The Company is in the process of this systems conversion and anticipates that the project will be completed in advance of the year 2000. The Plan calls for an upgrade of the Family Life's administrative systems by changing individual lines of computer code in order to modify current operating software such that it will become Y2K compliant. The administrative systems which are not modified will be converted onto the Company's CK/4 System, a system designed to be Y2K compliant according to the representations of the vendor. A material number of policies administered by Family Life, will be modified rather than converted. The modification of the PMS system (administering approximately 122,000 policies for Family Life) was completed in March, 1998. The conversion of the Cypros AP system (administering approximately 21,400 policies for Family Life) is scheduled for completion at the end of September, 1999. A non-material number of Family Life policies are administered by systems which also administer policies for ILCO and its subsidiaries. With regard to ILCO and its subsidiaries, the ALIS system (administering approximately 49,280 policies for Investors-NA) was converted to CK/4 in January of 1998. The conversion of the Life 70 system (administering approximately 17,285 policies for Investors-IN) is scheduled for completion in April, 1999. The modification of the Lifecomm-B system which is responsible for the 19,205 policies assumed after the acquisition of State Auto Life is also scheduled for completion in April, 1999. The conversion of the Lifecomm-A system (administering approximately 65,266 policies for Investors-NA) is now scheduled for completion in September of 1999. In 1997, FIC Computer Services - a subsidiary of FIC which provides data processing services for the Company and its affiliates - purchased new mainframe hardware and accompanying operating software, which the vendor has represented to be Y2K compliant. This hardware and software will be tested in 1998. The telephone system has been tested by the maintenance provider for that system and the Company has received assurances that the telephone system is Y2K compliant. With respect to non-centralized systems (i.e. desktop computers), the Company anticipates that updated software releases will be commercially available well in advance of the year 2000. Accordingly, to the extent that such systems rely on date sensitive information, the Company expects that the effort needed to correct for Y2K problems will be less time intensive than the effort needed to achieve compliance for its centralized systems. Accounting Developments In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which revises the standards for computing earnings per share previously prescribed by APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share." The Statement establishes two measures of earnings per share: basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised. The Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income statement for all entities with potential dilutive securities outstanding. The Statement also requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation. The Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. However, a company may disclose pro forma earnings per share amounts that would have resulted if it had applied the Statement in an earlier period. The Company adopted FAS No. 128 in its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. In June, 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements. Total comprehensive income is required to be reported in condensed interim financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as net income adjusted for changes in stockholders' equity resulting from events other than net income or transactions related to an entity's capital instruments. The Company adopted FAS 130 effective January 1, 1998, with reclassification of financial statements for earlier years. In June, 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 131, "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Generally, FAS No. 131 requires that financial information be reported on the basis that it is used internally for evaluating performance. The Company adopted FAS 131 effective January 1, 1998 and comparative information for earlier years must be restated. This statement does not need to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of application. The adoption of FAS No. 131 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position. In February, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", which revises current disclosure requirements for employers' pension and other retiree benefits. FAS No. 132 does not change the measurement or recognition of pension or other postretirement benefit plans. The Company adopted FAS No. 132 effective January 1, 1998, with restatement of disclosures for earlier years. The adoption of FAS No. 132 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position. In December, 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-3, "Accounting by Insurance and Other Enterprises for Insurance-Related Assessments", which provides guidance on accounting for insurance-related assessments. The Company is required to adopt SOP 97-3, effective January 1, 1999. Previously issued financial statements should not be restated unless the SOP is adopted prior to the effective date and during an interim period. The adoption of SOP 97-3 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position. FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Part II.Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain legal actions related to the normal business operations of the Company. Management believes that the resolution of such legal actions will not have a material impact upon the financial statements. ILCO and Investors-NA are defendants in a lawsuit which was filed in October, 1996, in Travis County, Texas. CIGNA Corporation, an unrelated Company, is also a named defendant in the lawsuit. The named plaintiffs in the suit (a husband and wife), allege that the universal life insurance policies sold to them by INA Life Insurance Company (a company which was merged into Investors-NA in 1992) utilized unfair sales practices. The named plaintiffs seek reformation of the life insurance contracts and an unspecified amount of damages. The named plaintiffs also seek a class action as to similarly situated individuals. No certification of a class has been granted as of the date hereof. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter. In August, 1997, another individual filed a similar action in Travis County, Texas against the corporate entities identified above. The lawsuit involves the same type of policy and includes allegations which are substantially identical to the allegations in the first action. The named plaintiff also seeks class certification. The Company believes that the court would consider class certification with respect to only one of these actions. The Company also believes that this action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter. Item 2. Changes in Securities None Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4.
