NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments were of a normal
recurring nature, unless otherwise noted in Management's Discussion and Analysis
and the Notes to Financial Statements. Operating results for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2001 (see further discussion in
Management's Discussion and Analysis). For further information and for
capitalized terms not defined in this 10-Q, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and
operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, principally AmerUs
Life Insurance Company (ALIC), AmerUs Annuity Group Co. (AAG) (formerly known as
AmVestors Financial Corporation), AmerUs Capital Management Group, Inc. (ACM),
and ILICO Holdings, Inc., holding company of Indianapolis Life Insurance Company
(ILICO). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 2001 financial statement presentation.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common shares
applicable to stock options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock
method.
(3) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138, which requires
that all derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, be reported on the balance sheet at fair value.
Accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in the values of
derivatives is dependent upon the use of the derivative and its qualification
for special hedge accounting. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133,
the Company recorded a transition adjustment as of January 1, 2001 upon adoption
of the standard to recognize its derivative instruments at fair value resulting
in a pre-tax reduction to income of $12.4 million ($8.2 million after-tax) and
an increase to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) of $2.7 million.
The reduction to income, which is classified as a "cumulative effect of change
in accounting for derivatives, net of tax" in the Consolidated Statements of
Income, is attributable to losses on basis swaps that were natural hedges and
losses on interest rate swaps reclassified from AOCI that have been redesignated
as cash flow hedges of floating rate funding agreement liability effective
January 1, 2001. In addition, the reduction to income includes adjustments to
fair value for options being used as
12
13
natural hedges of embedded options contained within equity-indexed annuity
products. The increase in AOCI, which is classified as "change in accounting for
derivatives" in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, is
attributable to the reclassification of the interest rate swap's fair value
adjustment from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company uses financial instruments, including options, futures, swaps,
caps and swaptions to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates and to
manage duration mismatches. The Company also uses call options to hedge
equity-indexed annuity products. The use of these financial instruments modifies
the exposure of these risks with the intent to reduce the risk and variability
to the Company. Although the Company is subject to the risk that counterparties
will fail to perform, credit standings of counterparties are monitored
regularly. The Company only enters into transactions with highly-rated
counterparties. The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives.
Initially, upon adoption of the new derivative accounting requirements, and
prospectively, on the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company
designates the derivative as either (1) a hedge of a recognized asset or
liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (a fair value hedge), (2) a hedge
of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received
or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge), or (3) a
natural hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized to act as an
economic hedge against changes in the values of the hedged item and which does
not meet the accounting hedge criteria for SFAS No. 133 (a natural hedge).
For fair value hedges, both the effective and ineffective portion of the
changes in the fair value of the derivative, along with the gain or loss on the
hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in earnings
and reported net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The effective portion
of the changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash
flow hedge is recorded in AOCI. When the hedged cash transaction is realized,
the gain or loss included in AOCI is reported net in the Consolidated Statements
of Income with the hedged cash transaction item. In addition, the ineffective
portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow
hedges are reported in net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. For derivatives designated as a natural hedge, changes in fair value are
classified as realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including
identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its
risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction.
Free standing derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at
fair value in other assets and option derivatives embedded in equity-indexed
annuity products are marked to fair value and classified in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets as "policy reserves and policyowner funds." This process includes
linking derivatives that are designated as hedges of specific assets,
liabilities, firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also
formally assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the
derivatives that are used in hedging transactions, other than natural hedges,
are highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash
flows of the hedged item. When a determination is made that a derivative ceases
to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting.
To manage interest rate risk, the Company has entered into interest rate
swaps that effectively fix the interest payments of a floating rate funding
agreement liability. These interest rate swap agreements are accounted for as
cash flow hedges.
13
14
The Company has equity-indexed annuity products that guarantee the return
of principal to the customer and credits interest based on a percentage of the
gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index(R) (S&P 500
Index). A portion of the premium from each customer is invested in investment
grade fixed income securities to cover the minimum guaranteed value due the
customer at the end of the term. A portion of the premium is used to purchase
S&P 500 Index call options to hedge the growth in interest credited to the
customer as a direct result of increases in the S&P 500 Index. The amounts to be
paid or received pursuant to these agreements are accrued and recognized in
income over the life of the agreements. Both call options held by the Company
and the options embedded in the policy, which the Company has designated as a
natural hedge, are valued at fair value. The change in fair value for the call
options is included in realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments and the
change in fair value of the embedded options is included in policyowner benefits
in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company has certain fixed annuity products that credit interest based
on a total return strategy. Under the total return strategy, the policyowner is
allowed to allocate their premium payments to different asset classes within the
Company's general account assets to which the selected strategy is linked, less
certain charges. The total return adjustment is paid when a policyowner accesses
the funds. The Company guarantees a minimum return of premium plus approximately
3% interest per annum over the life of the contract. The general account assets
backing the total return strategy of these products are fixed maturity
securities and are designated by the Company as held for trading. Both the
trading securities held by the Company and the annuity contracts are valued at
fair value. The change in fair value for the trading securities is included in
realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments and the change in fair value
of the annuity contracts is included in policyowner benefits in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
During the first six months of 2001, realized/unrealized gains (losses) on
investments included an unrealized loss of $34.1 million from the change in fair
value on call options used as a natural hedge of embedded options within
equity-indexed annuities and a $3.5 million unrealized loss from the change in
fair value on the trading securities backing the total return strategy products.
Policyowner benefits included an offsetting adjustment from fair value changes
in options embedded within the equity-indexed products and fair value changes on
total return strategy annuity contracts totaling $32.5 million. In addition,
basis swaps were terminated during the first quarter of 2001 and an increase in
fair value of $1.8 million on those swaps was included in net investment income.
AOCI included an unrealized loss of $2.1 million from the fair value change in
interest rate swaps used to hedge the floating rate funding agreement liability.
The Company estimates that $0.6 million of derivative losses included in AOCI
will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. The
ineffectiveness of the interest rate swap cash flow hedge was not considered
significant for the first half of 2001.

(4) CLOSED BLOCK
The Company has established two Closed Blocks. The first was established on
June 30, 1996 in connection with the reorganization of ALIC to a stock form. The
second was established on May 18, 2001 in connection with the reorganization of
ILICO to a stock form. Insurance policies which had a dividend scale in effect
as of each Closed Block establishment date, were included in the Closed Block.
15
16
The Closed Block was designed to provide reasonable assurance to owners of
insurance policies included therein that, after the reorganization of ALIC and
ILICO, assets would be available to maintain the dividend scales and interest
credits in effect prior to the reorganization if the experience underlying such
scales and credits continues. Effective with the first quarter of 2001, the
Company has adopted the Accounting Standards Executive Committee's Statement of
Position 00-3 (SOP 00-3) "Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for
Demutualizations and Formations of Mutual Holding Companies and for Certain
Long-Duration Participating Contracts." The provisions of SOP 00-3 required the
Company to modify its presentation of the Closed Block in its Consolidated
Financial Statements to no longer show the operations of the Closed Block and
the assets and liabilities of the Closed Block as single line items. In
addition, the SOP required the Company to report unrealized gains and losses on
Closed Block investments as a component of the Closed Block policyholder
dividend obligation rather than AOCI. At June 30, 2001, there was an unrealized
gain of $16.5 million included in the policyholder dividend obligation.
Summarized balance sheet information of the combined Closed Blocks as of
June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and statements of income for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

(5) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate for the three months and six months ending
June 30, 2001 and 2000 varied from the prevailing corporate rate primarily as a
result of goodwill amortization, non-deductible reorganization costs, low income
housing and rehabilitation credits, and tax exempt income.
(6) ACQUISITIONS
On May 18, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of ILICO for an
amount of cash, policy credits and shares of the Company's common stock equal to
the value of 9.3 million shares of the Company's common stock. The purchase
price totaled approximately $326 million. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the total purchase price
was
17
18
allocated to the assets and liabilities of ILICO based on the relative fair
values as of May 18, 2001, with the excess of the fair value of the assets
acquired less the fair value of the liabilities assumed over the purchase price
recorded as a reduction of value of business acquired (VOBA). The reduction to
VOBA was approximately $8.0 million. The purchase price allocations related to
VOBA were based on preliminary studies which will be finalized by year end.
Therefore, the final allocations may differ from the amounts reflected as of
June 30, 2001 and VOBA will be adjusted accordingly. Although the final
allocations may differ, the consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
2001 reflect the Company's best estimate based on currently available
information and the differences between the current and final allocations are
not expected to be material. The operations of ILICO for the period of May 18,
2001 through June 30, 2001 have been included in the consolidated financial
statement of income of the Company.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of ILICO is as follows (in
millions):
Investments (including cash and short-term investments) $ 4,655.7
Receivables and other assets 413.4
Value of business acquired 256.9
Separate account assets 345.6
Policyowner reserves and funds (4,811.5)
Other liabilities (163.1)
Debt (25.0)
Separate account liabilities (345.6)
-----------
Total investment in ILICO $ 326.4

The following table sets forth certain pro forma operating data of the
Company for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. This pro forma data

Under the terms of the joint venture ALIC participates in with Ameritas,
ALIC had an option to purchase an additional 5% to 15% of AMAL if certain
premium growth targets were met. ALIC met the premium growth target requirement
for one 5% purchase option in January 2001. ALIC exercised the option on March
28, 2001 and acquired an additional 5% ownership interest in AMAL for $7.2
million. ALIC's ownership percentage in AMAL is now 39% and ALIC's has a
remaining option to purchase an additional 5% to 10% of AMAL.

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 27, 2001, the forward common stock purchase contract component of
the Company's adjustable conversion-rate equity security (ACES) units matured.
Under the terms of the contract, ACES unit holders had an obligation to purchase
Company common stock at a price of $31.5625 per share. In lieu of paying cash to
satisfy their purchase obligation, the ACES unit holders could surrender the
preferred security component of the ACES unit. Of the 4,080,500 ACES units
outstanding, 4,075,625 were surrendered, and the remaining ACES unit holders
submitted cash of approximately $0.1 million to purchase Company common stock.
The number of shares of common stock to be issued by the Company was based upon
the average price of the Company's common stock for the twenty consecutive
trading days ending on July 26, 2001, compared to the stated ACES unit amount of
$31.5625. As a result of this, the Company issued approximately 3.8 million
shares of common stock and retired approximately $128.7 million of ACES debt.
In July 2001, the Company consolidated various management functions in
connection with its life insurance and annuity operations reorganization. As a
result, the Company incurred one-time restructuring charges of approximately
$5.0 million pre-tax, primarily related to severance. These charges will be
expensed in the Company's third quarter 2001 Consolidated Statement of Income.
On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"), which change the accounting for business
combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets. In particular, SFAS 142,
which will generally become effective January 1, 2002, adopts a nonamortization,
impairment-only model for the Company's goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets. This includes a more stringent impairment test methodology for measuring
and recognizing impairment losses. The Company is presently studying the impact
that the new Statements will have on its accounting policies. Under current GAAP
standards, the Company has recorded goodwill amortization expense of
approximately $3.9 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively.
(8) OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company has two operating segments: Life Insurance and Annuities.
Products generally distinguish a segment. A brief description of each segment
follows:
LIFE INSURANCE
The primary product offerings consist of whole life, universal life and
term life insurance policies. These products are marketed on a national basis
primarily through a Preferred Producer agency system and a Personal Producing
General Agent (PPGA) distribution system.
ANNUITIES
The Annuity segment markets individual fixed and variable annuities on a
national basis primarily through independent brokers and marketing companies.
The Annuity segment also includes one insurance contract issued to a commercial
paper conduit.
The Company uses the same accounting policies and procedures to measure
operating segment income and assets as it uses to measure its consolidated
income from operations and assets with the exception of the elimination of
certain items which management believes are not necessarily indicative of
overall operating trends. For example, net realized capital gains or losses on
investments, excluding gains or losses on convertible debt which are considered
core earnings, are not included as part of operating
19
20
segment income. These items are shown between adjusted pre-tax operating income
and income from operations on the following operating segment income tables.
Operating segment income is generally income before non-core realized gains and
losses, interest expense, income tax and income or loss from discontinued
operations. Premiums, product charges, policyowner benefits, insurance expenses,
amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and VOBA and dividends to
policyowners are attributed directly to each operating segment. Net investment
income and core realized gains and losses on investments are allocated based on
directly-related assets required for transacting the business of that segment.
Other revenues and benefits and expenses which are deemed not to be associated
with any specific segment are grouped together in the All Other category. These
items primarily consist of holding company revenues and expenses and the
operations of the Company's real estate management subsidiary.
Assets are segmented based on policy liabilities directly attributable to
each segment. There are no significant intersegment transactions.

Operating segment income and assets are as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The following analysis of the consolidated results of operations and
financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a holding company engaged through its subsidiaries in the
business of marketing, underwriting and distributing a broad range of individual
life insurance and annuity products to individuals and businesses in all 50
states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company also
owns a real estate management company through which it conducts limited real
estate management, development, syndication and marketing activities. The
Company has two reportable operating segments: Life Insurance and Annuities. The
Life Insurance segment's primary product offerings consist of whole life,
universal life and term life insurance policies. The primary product offerings
of the Annuity segment are individual fixed and variable annuities.
The Company sold certain lines of business and made the decision to exit
certain other businesses in 1998. These businesses are referred to as
discontinued operations and include the following activities: banking,
residential real estate brokerage, residential land development, and mortgage
banking.
ADJUSTED NET OPERATING INCOME
The following table reflects net income adjusted to eliminate certain items
(net of applicable income taxes and minority interest) which management believes
do not necessarily indicate overall operating trends. For example, net realized
capital gains or losses on investments, excluding gains or losses on convertible
preferred stock and bonds which are considered core earnings, are eliminated.
Net realized capital gains or losses on investments may be realized at the sole
discretion of management and are often realized in accordance with tax planning
strategies. Therefore, net realized capital gains or losses do not reflect the
Company's ongoing earnings capacity. Different items are likely to occur in each
period presented and others may have different opinions as to which items may
warrant adjustment. Adjusted net operating income is the basis used by the
Company in assessing its overall performance. Adjusted net operating income as
described here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by
other companies. The adjusted net operating income shown below does not
constitute net income computed in accordance with GAAP.

realized gains or losses (defined as gains or losses on the convertible
preferred stock and bond portfolio) adjusted for income taxes and

may vary widely between periods. Such amounts are determined by
management's timing of individual transactions and do not necessarily
correspond to the underlying operating trends.
(B) Represents amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs on the
non-core realized gains or losses that are included in product margins,
adjusted for income taxes and minority interest on such amounts.
(C) Represents the net effect of SFAS No. 133 related accounting entries
during the quarter, adjusted for income taxes. The accounting entries
consist of market value adjustments on trading securities, derivatives,
certain annuity contracts, and the associated change in amortization of
deferred acquisition costs resulting from such adjustments.

(D) For the 2001 periods presented, represents costs directly related to
ILICO's reorganization. For the 2000 periods presented, represents
costs directly related to the Company's reorganization and merger with
ALHI, adjusted for minority interest on such amounts. The costs consist
primarily of legal, actuarial and consulting expenses.
(E) Represents the net income from the Company's discontinued operations.
(F) Represents the cumulative effect of change in accounting for
derivatives, net of income taxes, as of January 1, 2001, resulting from
the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
(G) The Company was formed in 1996 as a mutual holding company and
therefore, had no shares of common stock outstanding until its
demutualization on September 20, 2000. At that time, the Company
distributed 17.4 million shares of its common stock to its former
members and exchanged its common stock for the 12.9 million shares of
common stock held by the public in ALHI on a one-for-one basis. The
Company's operating income is primarily from its former subsidiary,
ALHI. The Company has owned shares of ALHI common stock since 1996.
Adjusted net operating income per share has been calculated on the
basis that the shares of stock the Company owned of ALHI were
distributed to members and outstanding from January 1, 1996 and the
shares exchanged for ALHI shares were outstanding from the date of
demutualization.
Adjusted net operating income increased $14.6 million to $25.8
million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2001 compared to
$11.2 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2000. For
the six months ended June 30, adjusted net operating income was $48.6 million in
2001 compared to $26.1 million in 2000. The increase in adjusted net operating
income in 2001 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of ILICO and the
reduction in income applicable to the minority interest. Excluding the effects
of these two items, adjusted net operating income remained approximately level
between years for both the three month and six month periods. Adjusted net
operating income is analyzed further in the operating segment discussion.

Life insurance sales as measured by annualized premiums were $16.1 million
in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $8.1 million in the second quarter of
2000. Year-to-date, life insurance sales increased $7.1 million to $26.4 million
in 2001 compared to $19.3 million in 2000. Approximately $5.9 million of the
increase for the quarter and year-to-date was due to sales from ILICO, which was
acquired during the second quarter of 2001. Excluding the sales from ILICO, life
insurance sales increased 26% and 6% for the 2001 three month and six month
periods, respectively, as compared to 2000. The increases were from the
Company's new equity-indexed universal life products which allow the policyowner
to elect an earnings strategy for a portion of the account value whereby
earnings are credited based on increases in the S&P 500 Index, excluding
dividends. The earnings credit is subject to a participation rate and an annual
cap. In the first six months of 2001, sales of these products were $10.7 million
as compared to $1.9 million for the same period a year ago. The Company
anticipates continued higher sales of these products as compared to last year.
The following table sets forth the Company's life insurance collected
premiums, including collected premiums associated with the Closed Block, for the
periods indicated:

=================================== ===================================
Traditional life insurance premiums collected were $91.0 million for the
second quarter of 2001 compared to $66.3 million for the second quarter of 2000.
For the first six months of 2001, traditional life insurance premiums increased
$25.0 million to $160.3 million compared to $135.3 million in 2000. The entire
amount of the increase, for both 2001 reporting periods, was due to the
additional premiums from ILICO. Excluding the ILICO premiums, first year and
single premiums declined $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2001 as compared
to 2000, and renewal premium remained level between second quarter periods.
Year-to-date, first year and single premium decreased approximately $2.6 million
while
29
30
renewal premium increased $1.6 million. The decrease in first year and
single premium, exclusive of the ILICO premium, was primarily due to the
Company's shift in sales from whole and term life to universal life. The
increase in renewal premium is primarily a result of the maturing of the block
of business.
Universal life insurance premiums collected were $37.3 million for the
second quarter of 2001 compared to $24.9 million for the same period in 2000 and
$68.5 million for the first six months of 2001 compared to $51.7 million for the
first six months of 2000. Approximately $7.3 million of the increase in the
three month and six month 2001 periods was due to the additional universal life
premiums from the ILICO acquisition. The remaining increase in the 2001
reporting periods was due to the new universal life products discussed
previously.
Reinsurance assumed increased approximately $5.3 million for both the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same periods in
2000. The entire amount of the increase is from the ILICO acquisition. ILICO
private labels various whole, universal and term life products. The products are
issued by ILICO's private label partners and then assumed in whole or in part by
ILICO.
Effective January 1, 2000, ALIC entered into additional reinsurance
agreements which effectively reduced ALIC's retention limit to $100,000 for the
majority of policies issued since July 1, 1996 and for the majority of new
business going forward. In addition, effective July 1, 2000, ALIC entered into a
reinsurance agreement covering its Closed Block policies. Under this agreement,
ALIC has reinsured approximately 90% of the Closed Block net amount at risk not
previously reinsured. Reinsurance ceded was $2.7 million higher for the second
quarter of 2001 and $6.2 million higher for the first six months of 2001 as
compared to the same periods in 2000 due to these additional reinsurance
agreements. The remainder of the increase in ceded premium was from the ILICO
acquisition. ILICO's reinsurance agreements effectively reduce ILICO's retention
limit to $500,000.

=================================== ===================================
The Company primarily markets its annuity products on a national basis
through networks of independent agents who are supervised by regional vice
presidents or Independent Marketing Organizations (IMOs). The Company's IMOs
consist of approximately 78 contracted organizations and four wholly-owned
organizations. Annuity collected premiums were $437.8 million for the second
quarter of 2001 compared to $351.1 million for the same period in 2000.
Year-to-date, annuity collected premiums were $959.2 million in 2001 compared to
$648.5 million in 2000. The increase in annuity collected premiums was partially
attributable to the introduction of multi-choice annuity products in late-1999
and early-2000. The multi-choice annuity product provides for various earnings
strategies under one product, such as a long-term equity index, an annual equity
index, an investment grade bond index, and a guaranteed one-year rate. Earnings
are credited to this product based on the increases in the applicable indices,
less management fees, and funds may be moved between investment alternatives.
This product has continued to grow in popularity with consumers and agents since
its introduction. In addition to the increase in multi-choice annuities, fixed
annuity collected premiums increased in 2001 as compared to 2000 primarily due
to product repricing, growth in agents, increased marketing efforts aimed at
these products, and the acquisition of ILICO. Annuity collected premiums from
ILICO were approximately $29.7 million for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2001. With the acquisition of ILICO, the Company has variable annuity
products. Sales of variable annuities were $4.2 million for the period from May
18, 2001, the acquisition date, through June 30, 2001. The assets and
liabilities related to the variable annuities are shown on the Consolidated
Balance Sheets as "Separate Account assets" and "Separate Account liabilities".
Effective October 1, 2000, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement
to cede 35% of certain fixed annuity production on a modified coinsurance basis.
As a result of this new agreement, fixed annuity production ceded was $100.6
million higher in the first six months of 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000. In addition, ILICO reinsures approximately 75% of its fixed annuities on a
modified coinsurance basis which increased reinsurance ceded by approximately
$4.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same periods in 2000. The ILICO
31
32
modified coinsurance agreement also impacted the Company's balance sheet. At
June 30, 2001, reinsurance receivables were $307.2 million compared to $6.5
million at December 31, 2000.

============================== ==============================
Traditional life insurance premiums were $78.3 million in the second
quarter of 2001 compared to $62.5 million in the first second of 2000. For the
six months ended June 30, 2001, traditional life insurance premiums increased
$14.5 million to $140.3 million compared to $125.8 million for the same period
in 2000. The acquisition of ILICO in the second quarter of 2001 added $18.9
million of traditional life insurance premiums. Excluding these ILICO premiums,
traditional life insurance premiums declined $3.1 million and $4.4 million for
the three months and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same periods a year ago. The decrease in traditional life insurance
premiums in 2001 as compared to 2000 was primarily the result of the shift in
sales focus from traditional life products to universal life products discussed
previously. In addition, the new reinsurance agreements entered into in 2000
resulted in an increase in ceded premium for the first six months of 2001 of
approximately $5.0 million as compared to a year ago. Partially offsetting the
decline in first year premium and the increase in ceded premium was increased
renewal premium. Open block renewal premium increased approximately $6.1 million
in the first half of 2001 as compared to the same period a year ago primarily
33
34
due to the maturing of this block, while Closed Block renewal premium declined
approximately $4.5 million due to an increase in lapses. Total life insurance
lapse rates, exclusive of ILICO, were 7.6% for the first half of 2001 as
compared to 7.2% a year ago. This increase in lapses in the Closed Block
followed the completion of the Company's demutualization. The total life
insurance lapse rate including ILICO was 7.2% for the first half of 2001. As was
the case with the Company's demutualization, lapses are anticipated to increase
at ILICO now that its demutualization is completed.
Immediate annuity and supplementary contract premiums decreased by $3.9
million to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2001 compared to $6.5 million
for the same period in 2000, and decreased $5.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. A decrease in
immediate annuity premiums was anticipated as a result of pricing adjustments
made on these products.
Universal life product charges were $25.8 million for the second quarter of
2001 compared to $15.8 million for the second quarter of 2000. Year-to-date,
universal life product charges increased $12.4 million to $43.0 million in 2001
compared to $30.6 million in 2000. Approximately $10.3 million of the universal
life product charges for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001
were attributable to the acquisition of ILICO. The decrease between
quarter-to-date periods, excluding the impact of ILICO, was primarily due to
increased reinsurance premiums. The 2001 year-to-date increase, excluding ILICO,
primarily reflects the increased sales of universal life products and increased
cost of insurance charges corresponding with the normal aging and growth of the
block of business.
Annuity product charges were $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2001
compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2000, and $16.2 million for the
first half of 2001 compared to $18.2 million for the first half of 2000. Annuity
product charges from the acquisition of ILICO totaled approximately $2.4 million
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding these ILICO
amounts, annuity product charges declined $3.2 million and $4.5 million for the
three months and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
the same periods in 2000. The decrease in product charges was primarily due to
decreased surrenders of annuity policies with surrender charges. Surrenders
totaled approximately $510.2 million for the first six months of 2001 compared
to $571.5 million for the first six months of 2000. Annuity withdrawal rates
averaged 14.6% in the first half of 2001 compared to 15.7% in the first half of
2000. Excluding internal replacements, withdrawal rates decreased 2.8% to 11.8%
for the first half of 2001 compared to 14.6% for the same period a year ago.
Annuity withdrawal rates, including ILICO from the acquisition date forward,
averaged 15.6% for the first half of 2001. Surrenders at ILICO from the
acquisition date through June 30, 2001 were approximately $77.6 million.
Total net investment income was $207.1 million for the second quarter of
2001 compared to $170.1 million for the same period in 2000 and $388.2 million
for the first six months of 2001 compared to $343.8 million for the same period
in 2000. Approximately $26.2 million of net investment income for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2001 was attributable to the acquisition of
ILICO. Excluding ILICO, 2001 net investment increased primarily due to higher
average invested assets (excluding market value adjustments) and higher
effective yields as compared to 2000. Average invested assets (excluding market
value adjustments) increased approximately $171.9 million and $141.6 million
between quarterly and year-to-date periods, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to the growth of the Company's life insurance and annuity
businesses since last year. Partially offsetting this growth in assets from the
product lines was a reduction in holding company cash equivalents. The cash
equivalents were generated primarily from the sale of the Company's discontinued
operations in mid-1998 and were carried as invested assets of the Company until
October 2000, when the Company distributed the funds to its former Members in
connection with its reorganization. Investment income on the cash equivalents
was approximately $4.1 million and $7.2 million for the second quarter 2001
period and year-to-date 2001 period, respectively. Net investment income for
2001 was also negatively impacted as compared to 2000 due to lower equity
earnings from the Company's variable products joint venture. Equity earnings
from this joint venture were $0.8 million for the first six months of 2001
compared to $1.6 million for the
34
35
same period in 2000. This decline was consistent with the operating results of
others in the variable product industry.
The effective yield on the entire investment portfolio in the second
quarter of 2001 was 6.72% compared to 6.91% in the second quarter of 2000 and
7.00% for the first six months of 2001 compared to 7.02% for the first six
months of 2000. Excluding ILICO, 2001 second quarter and year-to-date yields
increased to 7.21% and 7.28%, respectively. The increase in yields, exclusive of
ILICO, primarily resulted from the market value adjustments the Company made to
its assets in connection with its reorganization, in the third quarter of 2000.
The overall yield is lower including ILICO primarily due to the higher
percentage of convertible securities ILICO carries in its investment portfolio.
The convertible securities are associated with ILICO's total return strategy
fixed annuity products. The effective yield on the deferred fixed annuity
portfolio increased 27 basis points to 7.11% for the second quarter of 2001 as
compared to 6.84% for the second quarter of 2000. Year-to-date, the yields
increased 32 basis points to 7.15% as compared to 6.83% for 2000. The deferred
fixed annuity portfolio yield was also positively impacted by the market value
adjustments made in the third quarter of 2000.
Total realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments were a net
loss of $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2001 compared to a net loss of
$7.2 million for the same period a year ago, and a net loss of $51.7 million for
the first half of 2001 compared to a net loss of $4.3 million for the first half
of 2000. The significant change between periods is primarily driven by the
Company's adoption of SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." In accordance with this Statement, the
Company has adjusted its options to market value, which, due to the economic
environment, resulted in an unrealized loss of $0.8 million and $34.1 million
for the second quarter and first half, respectively, of 2001. The Company uses
its options to hedge its equity-indexed annuity products. In addition, the
Company also has trading securities that back its total return strategy fixed
annuity products. The market value adjustment on the trading securities resulted
in a loss of $3.5 million for the 2001 second quarter and six month periods. The
majority of the unrealized gains and losses on the options and trading
securities are offset by similar adjustments to the option portion of the
equity-indexed annuity reserves and to the total return strategy annuity
reserves. The reserve adjustments are reflected in the policyowner benefits line
of the Consolidated Statements of Income and are discussed in the next section
of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition. The remainder of the second quarter and year-to-date 2001 realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments consisted of $7.5 million and
$14.1 million, respectively, of realized losses on investments. The level of
realized gains and losses will fluctuate from period to period depending on the
prevailing interest rate and economic environment and the timing of the sale of
investments.
Other income primarily consists of real estate operating income, property
management fees, structured finance fees from affordable housing programs,
Corporate Owned Life Insurance (COLI) income, and third party annuity
commissions received by wholly-owned IMOs. Other income increased approximately
$4.7 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $12.0 million as compared to $7.3
million in the second quarter of 2000. Year-to-date, other income was $22.3
million in 2001 compared to $13.9 million in 2000. Approximately $4.3 million of
the year-to-date 2001 increase in other income was due to the acquisition of
another IMO in January, 2001 and the remainder reflects the income on a $100
million COLI investment the Company made in the fourth quarter of 2000. COLI is
classified as an other asset and accordingly the income from this asset appears
in other income instead of net investment income.

========================== ===========================
Total life insurance benefits were $91.9 million in the second quarter of
2001 compared to $73.7 million in the second quarter of 2000. For the first half
of 2001, total life insurance benefits increased $16.7 million to $166.4 million
compared to $149.7 million in the same period in 2000. The acquisition of ILICO
in the second quarter of 2001 increased life insurance benefits $20.7 million
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding the impact of
the ILICO acquisition, total life insurance benefits decreased $2.5 million and
$4.0 million for the three months and six months, respectively, ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the same periods in 2000. This decrease in life insurance
benefits exclusive of the impact of ILICO was primarily due to decreased death
benefits and interest credited on universal life policies. The weighted average
crediting rate on universal life policyowner account balances for the first half
of 2001 decreased 6 basis points to 5.56% compared to 5.62% for the first half
of 2000. In addition, traditional life benefits, excluding ILICO, decreased in
the 2001 reporting periods as compared to 2000. The Company experienced
unfavorable mortality in its traditional Closed Block policies in the second
quarter of 2001 compared to 2000 resulting in increased death benefits of
approximately $2.4 million. This increase in traditional death benefits was more
than offset by a lower change in traditional life reserves.

37
Annuity benefits were $103.9 million in the second quarter of 2001 compared
to $74.9 million in the same period a year ago. Year-to-date, annuity benefits
increased $31.7 million to $194.2 million in 2001 compared to $162.5 million in
2000. Approximately $15.1 million of the increase in annuity benefits in both
the three month and six month 2001 periods was due to the acquisition of ILICO
in the second quarter of 2001. Annuity benefits increased approximately $13.9
million and $16.6 million for the three months and six months, respectively,
ending June 30, 2001 as compared to 2000, exclusive of the impact of the ILICO
acquisition. Interest credited to deferred annuity account balances increased
$20.7 million, exclusive of ILICO, in the first half of 2001 compared to the
same period a year ago. Between 2001 and 2000 six month periods, average
deferred fixed annuity account balances increased approximately $194.0 million
and the weighted average crediting rate on deferred fixed annuity account
balances increased 20 basis points to 5.08%. The increase in crediting rates
reflects the change in product mix and the increase in the investment yields of
the deferred fixed annuity portfolio. Overall, spreads on deferred fixed
annuities widened 11 basis points to 208 basis points in the first half of 2001
as compared to the same period a year ago. Including ILICO deferred fixed
annuity products, the weighted average crediting rate remained at 5.08% and
spreads were 207 basis points. Other annuity benefits declined approximately
$4.1 million, exclusive of ILICO, between first half periods, which corresponds
with the decline in immediate annuity and supplementary contract premiums. ILICO
added approximately $11.3 million to the 2001 other annuity benefits due to
payments made under modified coinsurance agreements.
Included in policyowner benefits is the fair value change in options
embedded within the equity-indexed products and fair value changes on total
return strategy fixed annuity contracts. These fair value changes are being
recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 133, which the Company adopted January 1,
2001. Based on the economic environment for the three months ended June 30,
2001, the fair value changes resulted in a $2.5 million increase in reserve
balances while the year-to-date fair value changes in 2001 were a $32.5 million
decrease in reserve balances. As discussed previously, there is an offsetting
adjustment to these fair value changes in the realized/unrealized gains (losses)
on investments line of the Consolidated Income Statement related to the fair
value changes on the options that hedge the equity-indexed products and on the
trading securities that back the total return strategy products. All of these
fair value changes are excluded from adjusted net operating income as they do
not indicate overall operating trends.

========================== ==========================
Total life insurance expenses were $30.0 million in the second quarter of
2001 compared to $23.3 million in the same period in 2000. For the first six
months of 2001, life insurance expenses totaled $53.8 million compared to $43.5
million a year ago. The acquisition of ILICO in the second quarter of 2001
increased total life insurance expenses approximately $6.5 million for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2001. Excluding the impact of the ILICO
acquisition, underwriting, acquisition and insurance expenses decreased
approximately $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2001 and increased
approximately $2.1 million in the first half of 2001, as compared to the same
periods a year ago. The decrease in the second quarter 2001 expenses as compared
to a year ago was primarily due to lower technology costs while the increase in
the year-to-date 2001 expenses as compared to last year was primarily due to
general compensation increases, depreciation on the new life insurance
administrative system and distribution system enhancements. Amortization of
deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired (VOBA),
exclusive of ILICO, increased $1.6 million in both the second
38
39
quarter of 2001 and the first six months of 2001 compared to the comparable
periods in 2000. Deferred policy acquisition costs are generally amortized in
proportion to gross margins. The increase in amortization in 2001 as compared to
2000 is primarily associated with the Company's market value adjustment
completed at the end of the third quarter 2000. Additional VOBA was established
as a result of the market value adjustment.
Total annuity expenses increased by $5.1 million to $36.3 million in the
second quarter of 2001 compared to $31.2 million in the second quarter of 2000.
Year-to-date, total annuity expenses were $67.1 million in 2001 compared to
$58.5 million in 2000. Approximately $1.1 million of the 2001 total annuity
expenses in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods were due to the
ILICO acquisition. Excluding these ILICO expenses, underwriting, acquisition and
insurance expenses decreased approximately $1.3 million in the second quarter of
2001 compared to the same period a year ago and increased approximately $1.8
million between year-to-date periods. The decrease in the second quarter
expenses primarily reflects the reduction in expenses from the consolidation of
annuity operations in Topeka while the year-to-date increase was primarily due
to the new IMO acquired in January of 2001. The increase in expense due to the
new IMO was offset by the increase in other income from the IMO discussed
previously. Exclusive of the impact of ILICO, amortization of deferred policy
acquisition costs and VOBA increased $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2001
as compared to the same period in 2000 and $5.8 million between year-to-date
periods. The increase in amortization was partially attributable to the general
growth in the deferred policy acquisition cost asset associated with the
continued growth in annuity sales. In addition, VOBA amortization was higher in
2001 due to the additional VOBA established in connection with the Company's
third quarter market value adjustment.
Other expenses decreased by $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2001 to
$3.6 million compared to $4.2 million in the same period in 2000. Year-to-date,
other expenses were $6.3 million in 2001 compared to $9.2 million in 2000. Other
expenses primarily consist of expenses related to the real estate management
company and the holding company, and tend to fluctuate from period to period
depending on the properties under management each quarter. Beginning in 1999,
the Company began decreasing the number of properties under management and,
accordingly, other expenses are also declining.
The 2000 reorganization costs consist primarily of legal, actuarial and
consulting expenses associated with the demutualization of the Company that was
completed in the third quarter of 2000. The 2001 reorganization costs are
associated with the demutualization of ILICO, which was completed in connection
with the Company's acquisition of ILICO. As these costs are not of a continuing
nature, they have been excluded from the Operating Segment amounts.

Total adjusted pre-tax operating income $ 45,406 $ 37,229 $ 87,341 $ 79,814
========================== ==========================
Adjusted pre-tax operating income from Life Insurance operations was $24.6
million in the first quarter of 2001 compared to $12.1 million in the second
quarter of 2000. For the first six months of 2001, adjusted pre-tax operating
income from Life Insurance operations increased $8.1 million to $39.5 million
compared to $31.4 million in 2000. The acquisition of ILICO contributed $11.0
million of adjusted pre-tax operating income to the Life Insurance segment in
the second quarter. Exclusive of the impact of the ILICO acquisition, Life
Insurance operating income increased $1.5 million between quarterly periods and
decreased $2.9 million between year-to-date periods. Gross margins in the Life
Insurance segment remained level between year over year periods with the
fluctuations in insurance expenses and the decline in earnings from the
Company's variable products joint venture primarily impacting the overall
results.
Adjusted pre-tax operating income from Annuity operations was $19.5 million
in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $25.1 million in the same period in
2000. Year-to-date, adjusted pre-tax operating income from Annuity operations
increased $1.8 million to $46.0 million in 2001 compared to $44.2 million in
2000. Annuity operating income was negatively impacted approximately $1.0
million from the acquisition of ILICO. Excluding this loss from ILICO, Annuity
operating income decreased $4.6 million between quarterly periods and increased
$2.8 million between year-to-date periods. The decrease in the second quarter of
2001 was primarily due to lower margins on equity-indexed annuity products.
Year-to-date, the decreased margins on the equity-indexed annuity products were
offset by the increase in spreads on the deferred fixed annuity products.
All other adjusted pre-tax operating income was $1.9 million in the first
half of 2001 compared to $4.1 million in the first half of 2000. The decrease in
2001 compared to 2000 was primarily due to decreased investment income as the
Company distributed approximately $340 million of cash equivalents in October
2000 in connection with its reorganization.
Interest expense decreased $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 to
$7.4 million compared to $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2000.
Year-to-date, interest expense was $14.7 million in 2001
40
41
compared to $14.8 million in 2000. The decreased interest expense in 2001 was
primarily due to lower borrowing rates in 2001 as compared to 2000. The 2001
interest expense also included approximately $0.3 million of interest expense
from ILICO. ILICO has a $25 million, 8.66% surplus note, due on April 1, 2011.
Income tax expense was $19.0 million in the first half of 2001 compared to
$23.7 million in the same period in 2000. The effective tax rate was 32.6% and
38.4% for the first half of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease in the
effective tax rate in 2001 reflected the decline in nondeductible expenses
associated with the Company's reorganization and increased tax exempt income
from the COLI investment.
Minority interest represents the minority stockholders ownership percentage
share of net income of ALHI prior to the Company's acquisition of this Minority
Interest. The minority shareholder ownership percentage was 42% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. As a result of the Company's acquisition of the
Minority Interest there is no net income applicable to the Minority Interest in
2001.
Net income from continuing operations increased $12.0 million to $19.7
million in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $7.7 million in the second
quarter of 2000. Year-to-date, net income from continuing operations was $39.2
million in 2001 and $22.7 million in 2000. Approximately $4.1 million of the
increase in the quarter and year-to-date periods was from the ILICO acquisition
and the remainder was due to the lower effective tax rate and the reduction in
net income applicable to the Minority Interest.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 January 1, 2001. In accordance with the
provisions of the Statement, the Company has recorded the differences between
the previous carrying amounts of its derivative instruments and the fair value
of its derivative instruments, as of this initial application date, as the
effect of a change in accounting principle. The gross difference between
carrying amounts and fair value amounts of the Company's derivative instruments
was a reduction of approximately $11.3 million. The deferred policy acquisition
cost and VOBA amortization impact from the derivative adjustments was
approximately $1.1 million and the income tax benefit was $4.2 million,
resulting in the net cumulative effect of change in accounting for derivatives
of $8.2 million.
Net income was $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2001 compared to $7.9
million in the second quarter of 2000 and $31.9 million in the first half of
2001 compared to $22.7 million in the first half of 2000. The acquisition of
ILICO increased net income approximately $4.1 million in the 2001 second quarter
and year-to-date periods. In addition, the lower effective tax rate and
reduction in net income applicable to Minority Interest also increased net
income in the 2001 periods as compared to 2000. Year- to-date, the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2001 had a one-time cumulative effect of
reducing net income by $8.2 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
THE COMPANY
The Company's cash flows from operations consist of dividends from
subsidiaries, if declared and paid, interest from income on loans and advances
to its subsidiaries (including a surplus note issued to the Company by ALIC),
investment income on assets held by the Company and fees which the Company
charges its subsidiaries and certain other of its affiliates for services,
offset by the expenses incurred for debt service, salaries and other expenses.
The Company intends to rely primarily on dividends and interest income from
its life insurance subsidiaries in order to make dividend payments to its
shareholders. The payment of dividends by its life insurance subsidiaries is
regulated under various state laws. Generally, under the various state statutes,
the Company's life insurance subsidiaries dividends may be paid only from the
earned surplus arising
41
42
from their respective businesses and must receive the prior approval of the
respective state regulator to pay any dividend that would exceed certain
statutory limitations. The current statutes generally limit any dividend,
together with dividends paid out within the preceding 12 months, to the greater
of (i) 10% of the respective company's policyowners' surplus as of the preceding
year end or (ii) the net gain from operations for the previous calendar year.
Generally, the various state laws give the state regulators broad discretion to
approve or disapprove requests for dividends in excess of these limits. Based on
these limitations and 2000 results, the Company's subsidiaries could pay an
estimated $102.9 million in dividends in 2001 without obtaining regulatory
approval. Of this amount, the Company's subsidiaries paid the Company $20.0
million in the first six months of 2001. The 2000 statutory results exceeded
prior years' statutory results primarily due to reinsurance transactions entered
into in 2000 and the acquisition of ILICO. As reinsurance activity varies from
year to year, 2001 statutory results may decline as compared to 2000 and
dividend capacity would change accordingly.
The Company has a $150 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate
of lenders (the "Bank Credit Facility"). As of June 30, 2001, there was a $64
million outstanding loan balance under the Bank Credit Facility. The Bank Credit
Facility provides for typical events of default and covenants with respect to
the conduct of business of the Company and its subsidiaries and requires the
maintenance of various financial levels and ratios. Among other covenants, the
Company (a) cannot have a leverage ratio greater than 0.35:1.0, (b) cannot have
an interest coverage ratio less than 2.50:1.0, (c) is prohibited from paying
cash dividends on its common stock in excess of an amount equal to 3% of its
consolidated net worth as of the last day of the preceding fiscal year, and (d)
must cause certain of its life insurance subsidiaries to maintain certain
ratings from A.M. Best and certain levels of risk-based capital.
The Company has announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock
purchase program under which the Company may purchase up to three million shares
of its common stock at such times and under such conditions as the Company deems
advisable. The purchases may be made in the open market or by such other means
as the Company determines to be appropriate, including privately negotiated
purchases. The purchase program supercedes all prior purchase programs. The
funds for the purchase program would come from a combination of internal sources
from its life insurance subsidiaries and utilization of its Bank Credit
Facility.
LIFE INSURANCE SUBSIDIARIES
The cash flows of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries consist
primarily of premium income, deposits to policyowner account balances, income
from investments, sales, maturities and calls of investments and repayments of
investment principal. Cash outflows are primarily related to withdrawals of
policyowner account balances, investment purchases, payment of policy
acquisition costs, payment of policyowner benefits, payment of debt, income
taxes and current operating expenses. Life insurance companies generally produce
a positive cash flow from operations, as measured by the amount by which cash
flows are adequate to meet benefit obligations to policyowners and normal
operating expenses as they are incurred. The remaining cash flow is generally
used to increase the asset base to provide funds to meet the need for future
policy benefit payments and for writing new business.
Management anticipates that funds to meet its short-term and long-term
capital expenditures, cash dividends to shareholders and operating cash needs
will come from existing capital and internally generated funds. Management
believes that the current level of cash and available-for-sale and short-term
securities, combined with expected net cash inflows from operations, maturities
of fixed maturity investments, principal payments on mortgage-backed securities
and its insurance products, will be adequate to meet the anticipated short-term
cash obligations of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries.
Matching the investment portfolio maturities to the cash flow demands of
the type of insurance being provided is an important consideration for each type
of life insurance product and annuity. The Company continuously monitors
benefits and surrenders to provide projections of future cash requirements. As
part of this monitoring process, the Company performs cash flow testing of its
assets
42
43
and liabilities under various scenarios to evaluate the adequacy of
reserves. In developing its investment strategy, the Company establishes a level
of cash and securities which, combined with expected net cash inflows from
operations, maturities of fixed maturity investments and principal payments on
mortgage-backed securities, are believed adequate to meet anticipated short-term
and long-term benefit and expense payment obligations. There can be no assurance
that future experience regarding benefits and surrenders will be similar to
historic experience since withdrawal and surrender levels are influenced by such
factors as the interest rate environment and the claims-paying and financial
strength ratings of the Company's life insurance subsidiaries.
The Company takes into account asset/liability management considerations in
the product development and design process. Contract terms for the Company's
interest-sensitive products include surrender and withdrawal provisions which
mitigate the risk of losses due to early withdrawals. These provisions generally
do one or more of the following: limit the amount of penalty-free withdrawals,
limit the circumstances under which withdrawals are permitted, or assess a
surrender charge or market value adjustment relating to the underlying assets.
The following table summarizes liabilities for interest- sensitive life products
and annuities by their contractual withdrawal provisions at June 30, 2001
(including liabilities in both the Closed Block and the general account):
($ in millions)
---------------
Not subject to discretionary withdrawal $ 578.0
Subject to discretionary withdrawal with adjustments:
Specified surrender charges (A) 5,742.1
Market value adjustments 3,921.5

Subject to discretionary withdrawal without adjustments 1,509.1
---------------
Total $ 11,750.7
===============
(A) Includes $620.1 million of statutory liabilities with a contractual
surrender charge of less than five percent of the account balance.
ALIC is a party to a $250 million separate account funding agreement. Under
this agreement, a five-year floating rate insurance contract is issued to a
commercial paper conduit. The funding agreement is secured by assets in a
separate account and is further backed by the general account assets of ALIC.
The separate account assets are legally segregated and are not subject to claims
that arise out of any other business of ALIC. The separate account assets and
liabilities are included with general account assets in the financial
statements. The funding agreement may not be cancelled by the commercial paper
conduit unless there is a default under the agreement, but ALIC may terminate at
any time.
ALIC and its joint venture partner are contingently liable in the event the
joint venture, AVLIC, cannot meet its obligations. At June 30, 2001, AVLIC had
statutory assets of $2,296.0 million, liabilities of $2,230.3 million and
surplus of $65.7 million.
Through their respective memberships in the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB)
of Des Moines and Topeka, ALIC and American Investors Life Insurance Company, a
subsidiary of AAG, are eligible to borrow under variable-rate short term fed
funds arrangements to provide additional liquidity. These borrowings are secured
and interest is payable at the current rate at the time of any advance. There
were
43
44
no borrowings under these arrangements outstanding at June 30, 2001. In
addition, ALIC has long-term advances from the FHLB outstanding of $15.2 million
at June 30, 2001.
The Company's life insurance subsidiaries may also obtain liquidity through
sales of investments. The Company's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2001 had
a carrying value of $14.7 billion, including Closed Block investments.
At June 30, 2001, the statutory surplus of the Company's subsidiaries was
approximately $645.2 million. The Company believes that this level of statutory
capital is more than adequate as each insurance subsidiary's risk based capital
is significantly in excess of required levels.
In the future, in addition to their cash flows from operations and
borrowing capacity, the life insurance subsidiaries would anticipate obtaining
their required capital from the Company as the Company has access to the public
debt and equity markets.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The main objectives in managing the investment portfolios of the Company
and its insurance subsidiaries are to maximize investment income and total
investment returns while minimizing credit risks in order to provide maximum
support to the insurance underwriting operations. Investment strategies are
developed based on many factors including asset liability management, regulatory
requirements, fluctuations in interest rates and consideration of other market
risks. Investment decisions are centrally managed by investment professionals
based on guidelines established by management and approved by the boards of
directors.
Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the
fair value of financial instruments. The market risks related to financial
instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries primarily relate to the
investment portfolio, which exposes the Company to risks related to interest
rates and, to a lesser extent, credit quality and prepayment variation.
Analytical tools and monitoring systems are in place to assess each of these
elements of market risk.
Interest rate risk is the price sensitivity of a fixed income security to
changes in interest rates. Management views these potential changes in price
within the overall context of asset and liability management. Company actuaries
estimate the payout pattern of the Company's liabilities, primarily the
Company's lapsation, to determine liability duration. The asset duration is
determined after consideration of the duration of these liabilities and other
factors, which management believes mitigates the overall effect of interest rate
risk for the Company.

The table below provides information about the Company's fixed maturity
investments and mortgage loans at June 30, 2001. The table presents cash flows
of principal amounts and related weighted average interest rates by expected
maturity dates. The cash flows are based on the earlier of the call date or the
maturity date or, for mortgage-backed securities, expected payment patterns.
Actual cash flows could differ from the expected amounts.

============================================================================
The Company and its subsidiaries have consistently invested in high quality
marketable securities. As a result, management believes that the Company has
minimal credit quality risk. Fixed maturity securities are comprised of U.S.
Treasury, government agency, mortgage-backed and corporate securities.
Approximately 64% of fixed maturity securities are issued by the U.S. Treasury
or U.S. government agencies or are rated A or better by Moody's, Standard and
Poor's, or the NAIC. Less than 7% of the bond portfolio is below investment
grade. Fixed maturity securities have a weighted average maturity of
approximately 7.24 years.
Prepayment risk refers to the changes in prepayment patterns that can
either shorten or lengthen the expected timing of the principal repayments and
thus the average life and the effective yield of a security. Such risk exists
primarily within the Company's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities.
Management monitors such risk regularly. The Company invests primarily in those
classes of mortgage-backed securities that are less subject to prepayment risk.
The Company's use of derivatives is generally limited to hedging purposes
and has principally consisted of using interest rate swaps, caps, swaptions and
options. These instruments, viewed separately, subject the Company to varying
degrees of market and credit risk. However when used for hedging, the
expectation is that these instruments would reduce overall market risk. Credit
risk arises from the possibility that counterparties may fail to perform under
the terms of the contracts.
Equity price risk is the potential loss arising from changes in the value
of equity securities. In general, equities have more year-to-year price
variability than intermediate term grade bonds. However, returns over longer
time frames have been consistently higher. The Company's equity securities
consist primarily of its investment in AMAL. The remainder of the Company's
equity securities are high quality and readily marketable.
All of the above risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. A combination of
in-house systems and proprietary models and externally licensed software are
used to analyze individual securities as well as each portfolio. These tools
provide the portfolio managers with information to assist them in the evaluation
of the market risks of the portfolio.
