Note 3 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Effective  January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board  Statement  (SFAS) No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments  and
Hedging  Activities",  as  amended  by SFAS  Nos.  137 and 138.  This  statement
requires that all  derivatives  be recognized as either assets or liabilities in
the balance sheet at their fair value,  and sets forth the manner in which gains
or losses thereon are to be recorded.  The treatment of such gains and losses is
dependent  upon the type of  exposure,  if any,  for  which  the  derivative  is
designed as a hedge.  Currently,  the Company has not designated any derivatives
as hedges.  In  accordance  with SFAS 133,  as of January 1, 2001,  the  Company
recorded a $311,211 transition  adjustment loss. This adjustment  represents the
cumulative  market  value  change  (since  January 1, 1999) of options  embedded
within  convertible  bonds, along with a recalculation of discount accretion for
the related host bonds and corresponding  income tax impacts. The net transition
adjustment  includes a $539,090 gross market value decline,  $67,558 of discount
accretion, and a $160,321 income tax benefit.



Note  4 - NET REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS, NET OF EXPENSES

The Company  recorded  pretax  reductions to the carrying value of available for
sale securities totaling $2,715,000 and $2,762,000 for the six months ended June
30,  2001 and 2000,  respectively,  relating  to  declines  in value  which were
considered by management to be other than temporary.  These amounts are reported
as reductions  of net realized  investment  gains.  Changes in the fair value of
derivative instruments are also reported as realized gains (losses). The Company
also nets certain  direct,  incremental  investment  management fees against net
realized investment gains presented in the Condensed Consolidated  Statements of
Income.  Such costs are based  directly on or, are  primarily  associated  with,
realized  capital gains.  Costs netted against  realized  investment gains total
$23,000  and  $283,000  for the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2001  and  2000,
respectively.



Part I; Item 1  (continued)


Note 5 - INCOME TAXES

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


Note 6 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's  operations  are managed along five  principal  insurance  product
lines: Home Service Life, Broker Life,  Preneed Life,  Dental, and Other Health.
Products in all five lines are sold through independent agency operations.  Home
Service Life consists  primarily of traditional life insurance  coverage sold in
amounts  of  $10,000  and under to middle  and lower  income  individuals.  This
distribution  channel is characterized by a significant  amount of agent contact
with customers  throughout the year. Broker Life product sales consist primarily
of simplified issue and graded-benefit policies in amounts of $10,000 and under.
Other  products in this segment  which are not  aggressively  marketed  include:
group life, universal life, annuities and participating life coverages.  Preneed
Life products are sold to individuals in connection with prearrangement of their
funeral and  include  single  premium  and  multi-pay  policies  with  coverages
generally in amounts of $10,000 and less.  These  policies are generally sold to
older individuals at increased premium rates. Dental products are term coverages
generally  sold to small and  intermediate  size employer  groups.  Other Health
products  include various  accident and health coverages sold to individuals and
employer groups.  Segment  information as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and for the
periods then ended is as follows:

Part I; Item 1  (continued)


The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary
financial measure is segment profit.  Segment profit represents pretax earnings,
except net realized  investment  gains and interest  expense are  excluded.  The
majority of the  Company's  realized  investment  gains and losses are generated
from investments in equity  securities.  The equities  portfolio  averaged (on a
cost basis)  approximately  $12,838,000  and  $19,721,000  during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  If these funds had been invested in
fixed-maturities  yielding 7%,  realized  investment  gains  (losses) would have
changed and the six month segment  profit  totals below would have  increased by
approximately $300,000 and $454,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Part I; Item 1  (continued)


Note 7 - LITIGATION


United Liberty Life Insurance Company ("United"),  which the Company acquired in
1998,   is  defending  an  action  in  an  Ohio  state  court   brought  by  two
policyholders.  The  Complaint  refers to a particular  class of life  insurance
policies  that  United  issued over a period of years  ending  around  1971.  It
alleges that United's dividend payments on these policies from 1993 through 1999
were  less than the  required  amount.  It does not  specify  the  amount of the
alleged  underpayment  but implies a maximum of about  $850,000.  The plaintiffs
also  allege  that  United  is  liable  to  pay  punitive  damages,  also  in an
unspecified  amount,  for breach of an implied  covenant  of good faith and fair
dealing to the  plaintiffs  in  relation to the  dividends.  The action has been
certified  as a class  action on behalf of all  policyholders  residing  in Ohio
whose  policies  were still in force in 1993.  United  has  denied the  material
allegations of the Complaint and is defending the action  vigorously.  Pre-trial
discovery is continuing and will be followed by motions to dismiss or narrow the
plaintiffs' claims. At this early stage of the litigation, the Company is unable
to determine whether an unfavorable outcome of the action is likely to occur or,
alternatively,  whether the chance of such an outcome is remote.  Therefore,  at
this time, management has no basis for estimating potential losses, if any.


Note 8 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statements of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 141,  Business  Combinations,  and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but
will be subject to annual  impairment  tests in accordance  with the Statements.
Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

The  Company  will  apply the new rules on  accounting  for  goodwill  and other
intangible  assets  beginning in the first quarter of 2002.  Application  of the
nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase
in net income of $90,000  ($0.05 per share) per year.  During 2002,  the Company
will  perform  the first of the  required  impairment  tests of  goodwill  as of
January 1, 2002 and has not yet  determined  what the effect of these tests will
be on the earnings and financial position of the Company.



Part I;  Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis



FINANCIAL POSITION.  Shareholders' equity totaled approximately  $22,245,000 and
$30,843,000 at June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  These balances reflect an
approximate  4% decrease and a 10% increase for the respective six month periods
then  ended.   As  described   above,   comprehensive   income  (loss)   totaled
approximately  $(783,000)  and $2,873,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively.  A significant portion of comprehensive income (loss) is
attributable to changes in the value of the Company's equity portfolios.  Equity
securities  comprised  approximately 9% and 17% of the Company's total assets as
of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Accordingly,  as also described below,
the Company's  financial position can be significantly  affected by movements in
the equities markets.  Equity portfolio positions decreased $2,726,000 on a cost
basis and $747,000 on a market value basis, during the first six months of 2001.
The majority of this cost basis  decline is  attributable  to  recording  second
quarter impairments  (realized losses) which management believes are appropriate
due to the continued uncertainty in the equity markets. Fixed maturity portfolio
positions  decreased  $5,178,000  on  an  amortized  cost  basis  and  decreased
$3,713,000 on a market value basis during the same period. However, as described
in Note 3 above,  $497,000 of the change  between cost and market  values during
2001 is attributable to the SFAS 133 transition  adjustment  recorded at January
1,  2001.  Cash and  cash  equivalent  positions  also  increased  approximately
$5,986,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2001.


OPERATIONS.  Net  premiums  and  other  considerations  increased  approximately
$2,645,000, or 23% during the first six months of 2001 compared to the first six
months of 2000.  Preneed Life,  Dental,  and Home Service Life premium increases
were approximately $2,259,000, $336,000, and $54,000, respectively, while Broker
Life  experienced  a  modest  decrease.  The  Preneed  Life  segment  growth  is
attributable  primarily to competitive  marketing agreements signed with certain
independent  agency  groups  during  late 2000.  Dental  premium  growth is also
primarily  attributable to a key additional  independent  marketing  arrangement
signed during 2000.  The Other Health segment  represents  less that 6% of total
premium.

Pretax  earnings  (loss)  [before  the  cumulative  effect  of a new  accounting
principle] totaled approximately  $(3,701,000) for the six months ended June 30,
2001,  compared  to  $5,878,000  for the six  months  ended June 30,  2000.  The
majority of this change resulted from realized investment losses. Pretax Segment
(Loss) (excluding realized investment gains and losses and interest expense) for
the first six months of 2001 was approximately $(88,000),  compared to $(68,000)
for the first six months of 2000. This change  resulted  primarily from improved
Preneed  Life sales and  mortality  and  improved  Home  Service  Life sales and
persistency, offset by higher Broker Life and Dental claims.

The Company's lower effective income tax (benefit) rate for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 is due to the effect of the small life insurance company deduction
on taxes paid in prior years, for which loss carrybacks are available.


CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY.  Cash flow from operations  totaled  $3,251,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to  $(1,807,000)  for the same period in
the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to growth in the Preneed
Life business.  The $3,855,000 of cash provided by investing  activities for the
six months  ended March 31,  2001  resulted  primarily  from  retaining  the net
proceeds from equity  investment  sales as cash.  The $1,120,000 of cash used in
financing   activities  during  the  first  six  months  of  2001  is  primarily
attributable  to annuity and Universal  Life account  withdrawals  and bank loan
principal repayments.
