NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in millions)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform with the current year presentation.

2. Segment Reporting

The Company has five reportable segments that are defined based on the nature of
the products and services offered: Individual Products, Annuity and Investment
Products (AIP), Benefit Partners, Communications, and Corporate and Other. The
segments remain as we described in our Form 10-K for 2001.

The following table summarizes certain financial information regarding the
Company's reportable segments:

4. Contingent Liabilities

Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of the Company, is a
defendant in two separate proposed class action suits. The plaintiffs'
fundamental claim in the first suit is that policy illustrations were misleading
to consumers. Management believes that the policy illustrations made appropriate
disclosures and were not misleading. The second suit alleges that a predecessor
company, Pilot Life, decades ago unfairly discriminated in the sale of certain
small face amount life insurance policies, and unreasonably priced these
policies. In both cases, the plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and
punitive damages, costs and equitable relief. While management is unable to
estimate the probability or range of any possible loss in either or both of
these cases, management believes that the subsidiary's practices have complied
with state insurance laws and intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted.
Accordingly, only the costs of defense have been recorded.

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties
to various lawsuits, including several proposed class action suits in addition
to those noted above. Because of the considerable uncertainties that exist, the
Company cannot predict the outcome of pending or future litigation. However,
management believes that the resolution of pending legal proceedings will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or liquidity,
although it could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations
for a specified period.

5. Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities" and SFAS 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" (collectively
referred to as SFAS 133). See our Form 10-K for information regarding the
cumulative effect of the accounting change in 2001.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141) and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142).
SFAS 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001,
be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and establishes
specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from
goodwill. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and
intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. In accordance with the
statements, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill, or certain other
intangible assets (primarily Federal Communication Commission Licenses), but
rather tests these intangible assets for impairment at least on an annual basis.
For the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2001, the Company
recognized $3.2 and $9.5 of amortization expense related to these assets. The
Company did not recognize any impairment losses upon adoption of SFAS 142.
Further, the Company completed its annual test of impairment in the second
quarter of 2002 and concluded that there had been no impairments. No events
occurred in the third quarter that would have led to impairment of goodwill and
other intangibles.

Following is a reconciliation of reported earnings compared to adjusted earnings
as if SFAS 142 had been in effect for all periods presented. In connection with
the implementation of SFAS 142, the Company did not change the life on any
intangible that was subject to amortization:

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" (SFAS 143) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002. The statement requires legal obligations associated with the
retirement of long-lived assets to be recognized at their fair value when the
obligations are incurred. The Company will adopt SFAS 143 on January 1, 2003,
and does not believe that adoption will have a significant impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS 144) which addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company
adopted SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002 and the adoption had no impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,
44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS
145), which is effective for financial statements issued after May 15, 2002.
SFAS 145 addresses certain technical issues


10

such as the classification of debt extinguishments and sale-leaseback
transactions, none of which are relevant to the Company.

In July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146), which is effective for exit or disposal
activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company currently is
not engaging in any exit or disposal activities.

In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions" (SFAS 147), which is effective for acquisition dates on or after
October 1, 2002. The Statement provides guidance on the accounting for the
acquisition of a financial institution, which is currently not applicable to the
Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations analyzes the consolidated financial condition as of September 30,
2002, changes in financial position and changes in results of operations for the
three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the
same period of 2001, of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and consolidated
subsidiaries. The discussion supplements Management's Discussion and Analysis in
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, and it should be read in
conjunction with the interim financial statements and notes contained herein.
All dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts.

COMPANY PROFILE

As detailed in our Form 10-K, we have five reportable segments: Individual
Products, Annuity and Investment Products (AIP), Benefit Partners,
Communications, and Corporate and Other.

In the first nine months of 2002 our revenues, excluding realized gains and
losses, were derived 52% from Individual Products, 20% from AIP, 20% from
Benefit Partners, 6% from Communications and 2% from Corporate and Other.

Our Premier Partnering strategy described in the Form 10-K continues to be the
primary focus of our internal initiatives to grow our life sales over a long
period of time. The Premier Partnering strategy continues to be well received in
the marketplace. Life sales, agent recruitment and agent retention in 2002
indicate market acceptance of our Premier Partners initiative.

UPDATE ON CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our Form 10-K described our critical accounting policies that involve the more
significant judgments and estimates. They relate to deferred acquisition costs
(DAC) and value of business acquired (VOBA), assumptions we use in the test for
goodwill impairment as required by FAS 142, valuation methods for infrequently
traded securities and private placements, assumptions and judgments utilized in
determining if declines in fair values of investments are other than temporary,
and accruals relating to legal and administrative proceedings.

We believe that these policies continued to be applied in a consistent manner
during the third quarter. We completed our initial and annual test for
impairment of goodwill in the second quarter of this year, and our work
indicated that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying
value, including goodwill, by a substantial margin. While we will continue to
monitor goodwill for impairment, we do not anticipate this being an ongoing
critical accounting policy. Legal proceedings are discussed in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the following discussion, "reportable segment results" and "total reportable
segment results" include all elements of net income available to common
stockholders except realized investment gains. Realized investment gains are
gains and losses on sales and write downs of investments, net of related income
taxes. We include realized investment gains and losses in the Corporate and


12

Other segment. We use reportable segment results in assessing the performance of
our business segments internally and believe that reportable segment results are
relevant and useful information. We may realize investment gains in our sole
discretion from our Available for Sale equity and bond portfolios. Reportable
segment results as described above may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies. The following tables illustrate our
results before and after including realized investment gains:

Compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2001, net income
available to common stockholders declined 11.1% and 7.9%. Net realized
investment gains declined 84.3% and 62.2% due primarily to other than temporary
bond impairments. Total reportable segment results decreased 1.3% in the third
quarter and increased 3.5% in the first nine months of 2002. The third quarter
decline was due to several items, including increased benefit payments in our
group life, group disability, and individual life lines, weak equity markets
that affected our variable universal


13

life products, low fixed income yields in our universal life and fixed annuity
products, and lost income on defaulted securities and funds used for stock
repurchases which slowed investment income growth, all of which are discussed
in detail in the business segment results below. These unfavorable influences
were partially offset by lower financing costs. The year to date increase in
reportable segment results was due to increased profitability across all
segments and the absence of goodwill amortization in the current year.

Earnings per share amounts for the reportable segments increased at greater
percentages than the absolute earnings amounts due to share repurchases in 2001
and throughout 2002, net of stock plan issuances. The average number of diluted
shares outstanding declined 5.0% and 2.9% from the third quarter and first nine
months of 2001.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

We assess profitability by business segment and measure other operating
statistics as detailed in the separate segment discussions that follow. We
determine reportable segments in a manner consistent with the way we organize
for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance. Sales are
one of the statistics we use to track performance. Because of the nature of our
sales, which are primarily long-duration contracts in the Individual Products
and AIP segments with little immediate impact on revenues, sales in a given
quarter do not have a material impact on current operating results.

INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS

The Individual Products segment markets individual life insurance policies
through independent general agents, independent national account marketing firms
and agency building general agents, together referred to as our core agency
channels. We also sell products through home service agents, broker/dealers,
banks and other strategic alliances.

Individual Products include universal life (UL) and variable universal life
(VUL), together referred to as UL-type products, as well as traditional life
products. The operating cycle for life insurance products is long term in
nature; therefore, actuarial assumptions and the judgments utilized in those
assumptions are important to the financial reporting for these products.

Traditional products require the policyholder to pay scheduled premiums over the
life of the coverage. We recognize traditional premium receipts as revenues and
profits are expected to emerge in relation thereto.

UL-type product premiums may vary over the life of the policy at the discretion
of the policyholder, so we do not recognize them as revenues when received,
although UL-type premiums do increase assets and liabilities. We recognize
revenues on these products from mortality, expense and surrender charges to
policyholder fund balances (policy charges). Additionally, we earn interest
spreads on all UL-type and traditional products. Policy benefits include
interest credited to policyholder fund balances as well as claim related costs.

Reportable segment results also include earnings on required capital for both
traditional and UL-type products.

are our important drivers and indicators of future profitability:

Average assets $ 16,355.6 $ 15,599.9 $ 16,291.9 $ 15,396.0


Annualized life insurance premium sales grew 52.7% and 51.2% in our core agency
channels over the third quarter and first nine months of 2001, reflecting
increased sales as a result of our Premier Partnering initiative and the
introduction of several new UL products in 2001. Total sales excluding large
case BOLI increased 23.4% and 50.7% over the third quarter and first nine months
of 2001.


16

Single premium products targeted to smaller banks and sold through our
target marketing channel provided 12.4% and 25.8% of life sales in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2002. For large case BOLI, our business
strategy is to respond to individual sales opportunities when the market
accommodates our required returns. Thus, BOLI sales will vary widely between
periods.

Revenues include traditional insurance premiums, net of reinsurance, policy
charges and net investment income. Individual traditional premiums decreased
5.3% and 8.2% from the third quarter and first nine months of 2001 due to the
decline in our traditional business in force and due to the reinsurance effect
on our term product. UL and investment product charges increased 12.5% and 9.7%
over the third quarter and first nine months of 2001, growing faster than the
average UL policyholder fund balances since certain recent products sold are
designed with larger up-front expense charges. The increase in up-front product
charges is offset by an increase in unearned revenue reserves accounted for as
policy benefits in the current period, and these product charges are taken into
income over time.

Net investment income increased 6.0% and 6.3% over the third quarter and first
nine months of 2001, reflecting the growth in average policyholder funds
partially offset by declines in investment yields. The average investment spread
on UL-type products (calculated as the difference between portfolio yields
earned on invested assets less interest credited to policyholder funds, included
in policy benefits) decreased 13 basis points to 1.85% and 11 basis points to
1.89% from the third quarter and first nine months of 2001. Interest spreads are
affected by portfolio yields and crediting rates, and also may vary over time
due to our competitive strategies and changes in product design. In response to
a decline in portfolio yields, we reduced credited rates across the portfolio at
the beginning of January 2002 and again at the beginning of September 2002. The
current average portfolio crediting rate is 5.50%, while the average minimum
guarantee rate on this portfolio is 4.22%.

Total policy benefits increased 5.1% and 10.2% over the third quarter and first
nine months of 2001 due primarily to increases in mortality, interest credited
and the increase in unearned revenue reserves due to the higher up-front product
charges on the new UL products. The third quarter of 2001 included excess
mortality related to the September 11 event of $7.8. Policy benefits on
traditional business include death benefits, dividends, surrenders and change in
reserves, with the most significant being death benefits. Total policy benefits
on traditional contracts represented 100.0% and 118.6% of premiums for the
quarter and first nine months of 2002 versus 108.1% and 109.8% for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2001 with mortality being the most significant
contributor to the change in percentages from year to year. Policy benefits on
UL-type products include interest credited to policyholder accounts on UL-type
products as well as death benefits in excess of fund balances. Total policy
benefits on UL-type products (annualized) increased to 8.1% and 7.8% of average
policyholder funds and separate accounts versus 7.8% and 7.4% in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2001. The increases in interest credited of
7.5% and 7.0% for the third quarter and first nine months reflect growth in
average UL fund balances of 8.8% and 8.1% for the third quarter and first nine
months partially offset by lower crediting rates. Mortality costs per thousand
dollars of net amount at risk for UL-type products increased to $3.27 for the
first nine months of 2002 versus $2.93 for the first nine months of 2001.
Mortality for the third quarter improved somewhat from the second and first
quarter levels. Our mortality results for the year to date have been within our
pricing guidelines, but at the higher end of the range compared to what we
experienced over the last couple of years. Changes to our retention limits
caused our year to date mortality costs to be $7.4 higher than the first nine
months of 2001. While this change improved our overall operating results due to
lower premiums paid to reinsurers that flow primarily through the product charge
line on the income statement, it may increase the volatility of our mortality
costs in a given period.


17

Total expenses (including the net deferral and amortization of DAC and VOBA)
increased 17.3% over the third quarter and decreased 0.5% from the first nine
months of 2001. The expense details are as follows:

Total expense $ 76.0 $ 64.8 $215.7 $216.8
====== ====== ====== ======


The increase in third quarter expenses is primarily related to higher
amortization of DAC and VOBA. This quarter's results included $4.6 higher
amortization of DAC on variable life insurance products due to applying mean
reversion techniques, as a result of declining equity markets. The application
of this technique will result in a similar change for the fourth quarter,
assuming continued weakness in the equity markets. DAC amortization for the
third quarter of 2001 was reduced by $3.1 due to the effect of September 11
claims. The decrease in total expense for the first nine months of 2002 reflects
(1) continued expense management, especially in our maintenance expenses which
are down 18.2 % for the first nine months of 2002, (2) increased acquisition
cost capitalization consistent with the growth in sales, partially offset by
increased DAC and VOBA amortization. The amounts we capitalize include first
year commissions, as well as deferrable acquisition expenses. We limit our
capitalization of deferrable acquisition expenses to the lower of product
specific pricing allowables or our actual deferrable acquisition costs. As our
sales have increased, pricing allowables have covered a greater amount of
capitalizable acquisition expenses other than commissions. Increased sales
resulted in higher capitalization of $3.7 in the quarter alone and $14.5 for the
nine months, when compared to the prior year periods.

Average Individual Products assets grew 4.8% and 5.8% over the third quarter and
first nine months of 2001, primarily due to sales of UL-type products and growth
in existing UL policyholder fund balances, partially offset by declines in the
market values of separate account assets of variable products. Average VUL
separate account assets decreased 14.9% and 3.2% from the third quarter and
first nine months of 2001. Adjusting for the decrease in market value, net of
dividends, year over year, separate account balances would have increased by
approximately 7.0% and total fund balances would have grown by 7.9%.


18

Our financial and operating risks for this segment include, among others,
interest rate risks, mortality risks, changes in the underlying assumptions of
DAC and VOBA and the effects of unresolved litigation. We discussed these risks
in more detail in the Individual Products, Financial Position, Capital Resources
and Liquidity, and Market Risk Exposures sections of our Form 10-K.

ANNUITY AND INVESTMENT PRODUCTS

Annuity and Investment Products are marketed through most distribution channels
discussed in the Individual Products segment as well as through financial
institutions, investment professionals and annuity marketing organizations.
Jefferson Pilot Securities Corporation, a registered broker/dealer, and related

Average assets $ 9,135.7 $ 8,209.4 $ 8,977.8 $ 7,978.5


We derive annuity revenues from investment income on segment assets, policy
charges, and concession income earned on investment product sales by JPSC. AIP
revenues increased 7.4% and 6.8% over the third quarter and first nine months of
2001, due to growth in policyholder fund balances, offset by lower surrender
charge income (included in policy charges). Net investment income grew 8.4% for
the quarter and 8.9% for the first nine months, which was lower than the growth
in average policyholder fund balances, primarily due to a decline in new
investment rates. Investment income for the first nine months of 2001 included
$2.3 due to the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for derivatives.
Fixed annuity premium sales decreased 30.3% and 20.7% from the third quarter and
first nine months of 2001, reflecting a competitive fixed annuity market and our
unwillingness to match our competitors' crediting rates. JPSC's concession and
other income were essentially flat for the third quarter and first nine months,
in spite of a significant increase in sales, primarily because of sales of lower
commission securities products as opposed to variable universal life insurance
products.

Fixed annuity surrenders, as a percentage of beginning fund balances declined as
noted above. The lower lapse rates reflect the effects of increased surrender
charge protection on our in-force block of business as well as the lower
interest rate environment. The surrender rate in the AIP segment is influenced
by many factors such as: (1) the portion of the business that has low or no
remaining surrender charges; (2) competition from annuity products including
those which pay up-front interest rate bonuses or higher market rates and (3)
rising interest rates that may make returns available on new annuities or
investment products more attractive than our older annuities. Fixed annuity fund
balances with 5% or more surrender charges increased to 52% at September 30,
2002 from 45% at September 30, 2001.


20

Total AIP benefits and expenses increased 7.2% and 7.5% over the third quarter
and first nine months of 2001. Policy benefits, which are mainly comprised of
interest credited to policyholder accounts, increased at a rate greater than the
increase in revenues.

Effective investment spreads on fixed annuities declined in the third quarter
and first nine months of 2002, due in part to sales of lower commission
products. Of the 11 basis point reduction in effective investment spreads from
the third quarter of 2001, almost all represented economic spread compression
that impacts earnings. This amount has increased over the past quarters as
effective yields earned on the investment portfolio have dropped faster than we
lowered our crediting rates. In response to this decline in portfolio yields, we
have been lowering crediting rates throughout the year. The current average
portfolio crediting rate is 5.39%, while the average minimum guarantee rate on
this portfolio is 3.36%.

Total AIP expenses decreased 5.7% and 4.3% from the third quarter and first nine
months of 2001, due primarily to lower maintenance expenses along with lower
commission expenses of JPSC. The expense details are as follows:

JPSC earnings results were $0.9 versus $0.3 and $2.9 versus $1.7 for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2002 and 2001 due to lower general and
administrative expenses.

Risks associated with the annuity business include, among others, compressed
investment spreads when interest rates decline and increased lapses when
interest rates rise. See our Form 10-K for more discussion on these risks.

BENEFIT PARTNERS

The Benefit Partners segment offers group non-medical products such as term
life, disability and dental insurance to the employer marketplace. These
products are marketed primarily through a national distribution system of
regional group offices. These offices develop business through employee benefit
brokers, third party administrators and other employee benefit firms.

Benefit Partners revenues increased 14.8% and 17.2% over the third quarter and
first nine months of 2001 and annualized new sales for the core life, disability
and dental lines of business fell 4.3% and grew 9.7%. The third quarter decline
in annualized sales reflects primarily a decline in dental and long term
disability sales reflecting strong marketplace competition at prices that we
deem unattractive. However, the growth in premium revenues is a result of both
year-to-date sales growth and satisfactory persistency in our non-medical
business.

Policy benefits increased 23.3% and 21.0% over the third quarter and first nine
months of 2001. Our life, disability and dental incurred loss ratio increased to
76.1% versus 71.3% and to 73.7% versus 72.1% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 2002 and 2001. We incurred adverse claims experience in July and
August of this year in the long-term disability and life product lines, which
returned to normalized levels in September. On a year to date basis, the loss
ratio has risen 1.6%. We believe the weak economy is driving some of the long
term disability adverse claims experience; however, we continue to take
appropriate measures in pricing and risk selection practices. During the past
two years, as sales growth has been strong, pricing and underwriting


22

practices have periodically been made more stringent to enhance expected margins
and position the business for eventual economic fluctuations. While we closely
monitor the loss ratio, we feel our risk management procedures are sound and
quarterly fluctuations are inherent in this segment.

Our group life reinsurance agreement covering extraordinary life claims arising
from catastrophic events expired in April of this year. We did not purchase
replacement catastrophic coverage at that time because a new reinsurance
agreement would have required a higher premium and deductible as well as a
terrorism exclusion. We began relying primarily on case-by-case management to
mitigate our concentration exposures over time. We have now supplemented this
strategy with the purchase, effective September 1, 2002, of a new group life
facultative reinsurance program which covers extraordinary life and accidental
death or dismemberment claims arising from war or terrorism events (excluding
nuclear, chemical or biological events) for covered groups at specific sites.
The coverage provides reimbursement in various layers for losses that exceed
$50, up to a maximum reimbursement of $64. We continue to monitor reinsurance
market developments to stay abreast of options that could enhance our management
of this risk.

See our Form 10-K for additional discussion of risks, which include disability
claims, accelerated medical cost inflation and concentration risks that may
impact this segment.

Total expenses (including the net deferral and amortization of policy
acquisition costs) increased 9.8% and 11.9% over the third quarter and first
nine months of 2001, which represents a slower increase than the growth in
premiums. As a percentage of premium income, total expenses were 22.5% versus
23.7% and 22.8% versus 24.0% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002
and 2001, reflecting our continued strict expense management.

Reportable segment results $ 9.7 $ 8.2 $ 26.8 $ 23.7
====== ====== ====== ======


Reportable segment results increased 18.3% and 13.1% over the third quarter and
first nine months of 2001, primarily due to increased demand for advertising,
effective ongoing operating expense management and the positive impact from
eliminating amortization under SFAS 142. Also, third quarter 2001 results
reflected the positive impact of a one-time insurance recovery.

Combined revenues for Radio and Television increased 14.1% and 6.9% over the
third quarter and first nine months of 2001, reflecting solid increases in
demand for local advertising and substantial political advertising in TV, which
more than offset the weak demand for national advertising from Radio. Revenues
from Sports operations decreased 23.6% from the first nine months of 2001,
reflecting the impact of weak demand for collegiate basketball advertising due
to the slowing economic conditions during the prime selling season last fall.
See our Form 10-K for a description of our contractual commitments related to
Sports operations.

Broadcast cash flow increased 27.2% and 8.3% from the third quarter and first
nine months of 2001 due to improved profitability at our Radio and TV
properties, though these increases were affected by weak first quarter results
in our Sports basketball product.

Total expenses, excluding interest expense, increased $3.2 or 10.6% and $1.1 or
1.1% from the third quarter and first nine months of 2001. As a percent of
communication revenues, these expenses were 66.9% versus 67.9% and 68.6% versus
70.3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 and 2001. FCC license
and goodwill amortization expense was $0.8 and $2.3 in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2001.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

The Corporate and Other segment includes the excess capital of the insurance
subsidiaries, other corporate investments including all our impaired securities,
benefit plan net assets, goodwill related to insurance acquisitions, and
corporate debt. The reportable segment results primarily contain the earnings on
the invested excess capital, interest expense related to the corporate debt, and
operating

24

expenses that are corporate in nature (such as advertising and charitable and
civic contributions). All net capital gains and losses, which include all
impairments of securities, are reported in this segment.

======== ======== ======== ========


Reportable segment results excluding realized gains decreased 55.3% from the
third quarter and increased 14.9% over the first nine months of 2001. The third
quarter of 2001 benefited from $2.9 after tax non-repeatable investment earnings
items and $1.5 after tax one-time reallocation of investment expenses to
Individual Products.

The earnings on investments for the segment include default charge income
received from the operating segments for the Corporate and Other segment's
assumption of all credit related losses on the invested assets of those
segments. Those default charges are calculated as a percentage of the invested
assets. The decrease in investment earnings is due to reduced invested assets,
resulting from stock repurchases, bond losses and impaired assets. Earnings on
investments in this segment can fluctuate based upon opportunistic repurchases
of common stock, the amount of excess capital generated by the operating
segments and lost investment income on bonds impaired or sold at a loss.

Interest expense on debt and Exchangeable Securities decreased $3.6 and $15.4 in
the third quarter and first nine months primarily due to lower market interest
rates, the replacement of the MEDS securities with short-term borrowings in
January 2002 and overall lower amounts outstanding. Operating expenses vary with
the level of corporate activities and strategies. Goodwill amortization of $2.3
and $7.0 for the third quarter and first nine months, excluding JPCC, was
included in operating expenses for 2001. The provision for income tax expense
includes the tax benefit of preferred dividends on Capital Securities, which we
record gross of related tax effects. Income


25

taxes decreased $4.6 from the third quarter and were essentially flat when
compared to the first nine months of 2001, primarily the result of lower pre-tax
segment income.

Realized investment gains and losses are as follows:

Total assets for the Corporate and Other segment decreased 9.0% from September
30, 2001 due primarily to sales and write downs of securities, stock repurchases
and the reduction of co-insurance receivables as closed blocks slowly diminish.
Unrealized gains and losses on all Available for Sale fixed income securities
are assigned to this segment, and increased $253 from September 30, 2001.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Our primary resources are investments related to our Individual Products, AIP
and Benefit Partners segments, properties and other assets utilized in all
segments and investments backing corporate capital. This section identifies
several items on our balance sheet that are important to understanding our
financial position. The Investments section reviews our investment portfolio and
key portfolio management strategies.

Total assets increased $993 from year-end 2001 due to growth in income and net
policyholder contract deposits, including interest credited, and unrealized
gains on investments, all of which more than offset dividends and stock
repurchases.

The Individual Products, AIP and Benefit Partners segments defer the costs of
acquiring new business, including first year commissions, first year bonus
interest, certain costs of underwriting


26

and issuing policies plus agency office expenses (referred to as DAC). We limit
our capitalization of acquisition expenses other than commissions to the lower
of product specific pricing allowables or the actual deferrable acquisition
costs. When we acquire new business through an acquisition, we allocate a
portion of the purchase price to a separately identifiable intangible asset,
referred to as VOBA. We initially establish VOBA as the actuarially determined
present value of future gross profits of each business acquired.

We amortize DAC and VOBA on traditional products in proportion to premium
revenue recognized. We amortize DAC and VOBA on UL-type products relative to the
future estimated gross profits (EGP) from those products. The EGP for UL-type
products include the following components: (1) estimates of fees charged to
policyholders to cover mortality, surrenders and maintenance costs; (2)
estimated mortality in excess of fund balances accumulated; (3) expected
interest rate spreads between income earned and amounts credited to policyholder
accounts; and (4) estimated cost of policy administration (maintenance). The EGP
is also reduced by our estimate of future losses due to defaults in fixed
interest investments. DAC and VOBA related to UL-type products are sensitive to
a change in our assumptions regarding EGP components, and any change in such an
assumption will immediately impact the current DAC and VOBA balances with the
change reflected through the income statement.

We provided a sensitivity analysis of changes in significant assumptions to DAC
and VOBA relating to Individual UL-type products in our 2001 Form 10-K. At
September 30, 2002, 83.5% of balance sheet DAC and VOBA related to Individual
UL-type products compared to 74.9% at December 31, 2001. In the first nine
months of 2002, no variances were significant enough to have caused us to change
the other assumptions relating to estimated mortality or estimated future policy
lapses. UL-type products include variable products that allow a contract holder
to invest in equities through separate accounts. The declining equity markets
have caused us to increase DAC amortization on the variable life products by
$4.6. We anticipate this will recur in the fourth quarter, assuming continued
weakness in the equity markets.

We also adjust the carrying value of DAC and VOBA to reflect changes in the
unrealized gains and losses in Available for Sale securities since this impacts
EGP.

At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, we had reinsurance receivables of
$900 and $914 and policy loans of $136 and $153 which are related to the
businesses of JP Financial that are coinsured with Household International (HI)
affiliates. HI has provided payment, performance and capital maintenance
guarantees with respect to the balances receivable. We regularly evaluate the
financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentrations of credit risk
related to reinsurance activities. We have not suffered any significant credit
losses from reinsurance activities in the last three years.

At December 31, 2001, the fair value of the assets related to the defined
benefit pension plan was $361. Due to the decline in the equity markets in which
most of these assets are invested coupled with a consistent level of benefit
payments, the fair value of the assets at September 30, 2002 was $320. Net
periodic benefit cost, which includes service cost, interest cost, return on
plan assets and net amortization and deferrals of gains and losses, contributed
$3.5 of income for the entire year of 2001. The decline in the return on plan
assets impacted the reported net periodic benefit cost reported for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, which was a reduction in income of
approximately $1.9.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The following table shows our capital adequacy:



September 30 December 31
2002 2001
------------ -----------

Total assets less separate accounts $28,291 $26,848
Total stockholders' equity 3,515 3,391
Ratio of stockholders' equity to assets less
separate accounts 12.4% 12.6%


The ratio of equity to assets less separate accounts has remained relatively
constant. Unrealized gains on Available for Sale securities, which are included
as a component of stockholders' equity, increased $169 from December 31, 2001,
reflecting lower interest rates offset by increased credit spreads. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, we repurchased 6,881,300 shares at an average
cost of $44.61 per share. On August 5, 2002, our board refreshed our share
repurchase authorization to cover 5 million shares of common stock, of which
approximately 3.8 million shares remained at September 30, 2002.

We consider existing capital resources to be more than adequate to support the
current level of our business activities.

The Individual Products, AIP and Benefit Partners segments are subject to
regulatory constraints. Our insurance subsidiaries have statutory surplus and
risk based capital levels well above required levels. These capital levels
together with the rating agencies' assessments of our business strategies have
enabled our major life insurance affiliates to retain the highest available
ratings by A.M. Best and Standard & Poor's as detailed in our Form 10-K. In
September 2002, Fitch Ratings downgraded our major life insurance affiliates'
ratings to AA+, the agency's second highest rating, along with numerous other
companies in the financial services industry. Although this has not had a
perceptible effect on us, a very significant drop in these ratings, while not
anticipated, could potentially impact future sales and/or accelerate surrenders
on our business in force.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND DEBT

We have bank credit agreements for unsecured revolving credit, under which we
have the option to borrow at various interest rates. In May 2002, we replaced an
expiring $375 bank credit agreement with new unsecured revolving credit
agreements, currently aggregating $525, half available for five years and half
available for 364 days. The credit agreements principally support our issuance
of commercial paper. Outstanding commercial paper had various maturities, with
$48 at September 30, 2002 and none at December 31, 2001 in excess of 90 days,
although maturities can be up to 270 days. If we cannot remarket commercial
paper at maturity, we have sufficient liquidity, consisting of the bank credit
agreements, liquid assets, such as equity securities, and other resources to
retire these obligations. The weighted-average interest rates for commercial
paper borrowings outstanding of $187 and $297 at September 30, 2002 and December
31, 2001 were 1.81% and 3.72%. The maximum amount outstanding during the first
nine months of 2002 was $330 versus $565 during the year ended December 31,
2001.


28

Our commercial paper has retained the highest ratings by both Standard & Poor's
and Fitch as detailed in our Form 10-K. A significant drop in these ratings,
while not anticipated, could cause us to pay higher rates in commercial paper
borrowings or lose access to the commercial paper markets.

Our insurance subsidiaries have sold U.S. Treasury obligations and
collateralized mortgage obligations under repurchase agreements involving
various counterparties, accounted for as financing arrangements. Proceeds may be
used to purchase securities with longer durations as an asset/liability
management strategy. We also may use repurchase agreements from time to time in
lieu of commercial paper borrowings. At September 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001, repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, were $588 and $292,
reflecting the lower interest rate on repurchase agreements compared to rates on
commercial paper. The securities involved had a fair value and amortized cost of
$621 and $574 at September 30, 2002 versus $306 and $289 at the end of 2001. The
maximum principal amounts outstanding were $666 and $457 during the first nine
months of 2002 and 2001.


LIQUIDITY

We meet liquidity requirements primarily by positive cash flows from the
operations of subsidiaries. We have sufficient overall sources of liquidity to
satisfy operating requirements. Primary sources of cash from our insurance
operations are premiums, other insurance considerations, receipts for
policyholder accounts, investment sales and maturities and investment income.
Primary uses of cash for our insurance operations include purchases of
investments, payment of insurance benefits, operating expenses, withdrawals from
policyholder accounts, costs related to acquiring new business, dividends and
income taxes. Primary sources of cash from the Communications operations are
revenues from advertising, and primary uses include payments for commissions,
compensation and related costs, sports rights, interest, income taxes and
purchases of fixed assets.

Cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 was $325
and $590. The primary reason for the decrease was approximately $150 of premiums
received pending policy issuance in the last week of 2001 that was reported as
cash received from operations in 2001, but is reported as an increase in
policyholder deposits and a decrease in cash from operations in 2002.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,132 and $1,220 for the first nine
months of 2002 and 2001 reflecting decreased investment purchases due to capital
being utilized for the repurchase of common shares.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $718 and $713 for the first nine
months of 2002 and 2001, including cash inflows from policyholder contract
deposits net of withdrawals of $1,127 and $870, reflecting both the increase in
sales and the processing of the premiums received at the end of 2001.

In order to meet the parent company's dividend payments, debt servicing
obligations and other expenses, we received dividends from subsidiaries. Total
cash dividends paid by subsidiaries during the first nine months were $261
versus $259 in 2001. Our life insurance subsidiaries are subject to laws in
their states of domicile that limit the amount of dividends that can be paid
without the prior approval of the respective state's Insurance Commissioner. The
limits are based in part on the prior year's statutory income, and approvals are
based in part on statutory RBC, both of which are negatively impacted by bond
losses and write downs. We have no reason to believe that such approval will be
withheld, if required.


29

Cash and cash equivalents were $50 and $139 at September 30, 2002 and December
31, 2001, again reflecting a higher amount of premiums received pending policy
issuance in late December 2001. Fixed income and equity securities held by the
parent company and non-regulated subsidiaries were $395 and $542 at these dates.
These securities are considered to be sources of liquidity to support our
strategies.

Total debt and equity securities Available for Sale at September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 were $16,435 and $14,639.

We routinely enter into commitments to extend credit in the form of mortgage
loans and to purchase certain debt instruments in private placement
transactions for our investment portfolio. The fair value of outstanding
commitments to fund mortgage loans and to acquire debt securities in private
placement transactions as of September 30, 2002 approximates $149. These
commitments will be funded through cash flows from operations and investment
maturities.

INVESTMENTS

PORTFOLIO DESCRIPTION

Our strategy for managing the investment portfolio of our insurance subsidiaries
is to consistently meet pricing assumptions while managing appropriate credit
risk. We invest for the long term, and most of our investments are held until
they mature. Our investment portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed income
securities and commercial mortgage loans. The nature and quality of investments
held by our insurance subsidiaries must comply with state regulatory
requirements. We have established a formal investment policy, which describes
our overall quality and diversification objectives.

The following table shows the carrying values of our invested assets.
Approximately 80% of our portfolio has been designated as available for sale
(AFS) and is carried on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair
values reflected in other comprehensive income. The remainder has been
designated as held to maturity (HTM). As prescribed by generally accepted
accounting principles, HTM securities are carried at amortized cost, and
accordingly there will be a difference between fair value and carrying value for
HTM securities. As shown below, our investments in debt securities included both
publicly-traded and privately-placed securities.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT AND IMPAIRMENT REVIEW

Limiting our bond exposure to any one creditor is one way in which we manage
portfolio risk. The following table lists our ten largest exposures to an
individual creditor in our bond portfolio as of September 30, 2002. As noted
above, the carrying values in the following tables are stated at fair value for
AFS securities and amortized cost for HTM securities.

Wachovia Corporation Banks 100
General Electric Corporation Capital Goods 94
Verizon Communications Communications 94
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Transportation 89

During the latter half of 2001, large bankruptcy filings, defaults by companies
within certain industries negatively affected by the September 11 event and
specific country-related issues brought significant stress to debt securities.
During 2002, further deterioration of ratings and expected cash flows brought
about by restatements, regulatory investigations and corporate governance issues
continued to exert stress on the general credit markets. Specific sectors that
were particularly affected included industries such as passenger airlines,
communications, energy and technology. Credit spreads increased significantly,
resulting in significantly lower market values on bonds in these sectors.

As noted above, credit risk is inherent in our bond portfolio. We manage this
risk through a structured approach in which we assess the effects of the
changing economic landscape. We devote a significant amount of effort of both
highly specialized, well-trained internal resources and external experts in our
approach to managing credit risk. We regularly compare the market value to the
amortized cost. In valuing our bond portfolio, we rely on external pricing
sources for highly liquid publicly traded bonds and utilize an internal pricing
matrix for privately placed bonds or those that are infrequently traded. This
matrix relies on the discounting of expected future cash flows using a current
market rate, credit quality, industry sector, and maturity. Under certain
circumstances we make adjustments for the application of professional judgment
based upon specific detailed information concerning the issuer.

Our bond portfolio is regularly monitored to ensure that investments with
potential for other than temporary impairments are properly identified and
valued. All bonds are evaluated against the following criteria:

- current fair value of the bond is significantly below amortized cost

- length of time for which a deficiency existed between fair value and
amortized cost

- industry factors or conditions related to a geographic area that are
negatively affecting the bond

- bond has been downgraded by a rating agency

- interest or principal payments are past due or other violation of
covenants

- overall financial condition of specific issuer has deteriorated


31

When a bond is identified as potentially impaired, it is added to our
potentially distressed security list and we determine if the impairment is
considered to be other than temporary. In making that determination, we evaluate
whether the security has been affected by a preponderance of evidence based on
the above factors. This results in a subjective determination as to whether it
is more likely than not that some or all of the interest or principal payments
due will not be collected in accordance with the security's contractual terms.
Various committees comprised of senior management and investment analysts
intensively review the potentially distressed security list to determine if a
security is deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. Factors that are
considered in this review include the following criteria:

- fundamental analysis of the liquidity and financial condition of the
specific issuer

- underlying valuation of assets specifically pledged to support the
credit

- time period in which the fair value has been significantly below
amortized cost

- industry sector or geographic area applicable to the specific issuer

- our ability and intent to retain the investment for a sufficient
time to recover its value

Where this intensive review determines that the decline is other than temporary,
the bond is written down to fair value through a charge to realized investment
gains and losses. (See page 26 in the Corporate and Other segment results for
the detail of realized investment gains and losses). Factors that lead to an
other than temporary impairment of a particular security are considered when
evaluating the entire portfolio in order to determine whether these conditions
have not impacted other similar securities.

As the discussion above indicates, many judgments are involved in determining
whether declines in fair value are other than temporary. Inherently, there are
risks and uncertainties involved in making these assumptions. Changes in
circumstances and critical assumptions such as a continued weak economy, a more
pronounced economic downturn or unforeseen events which affect one or more
companies, industry sectors or countries could result in additional charges to
realized investment losses in future periods for impairments that are deemed to
be other than temporary. The amortized cost for both AFS and HTM securities that
have experienced other than temporary impairments has been adjusted to reflect
fair value at the time of impairment.

BELOW INVESTMENT GRADE SECURITIES

Our internal guidelines require an average quality of "A" or higher for the
entire bond portfolio. At September 30, 2002 the average quality rating of our
bond portfolio was "A+", reflecting our substantial holdings in AAA mortgage
backed securities. We monitor the overall credit quality of our portfolio within
internal investment guidelines. We monitor those securities below investment
grade as to individual exposures and in comparison to the entire portfolio as an
additional credit risk management strategy. We specifically look at our exposure
to individual creditors currently classified as below investment grade.

The ten largest below investment grade debt security exposures by individual
issuer at September 30, 2002, were as follows:


Amortized Carrying Unrealized
Creditor Sector Cost Value Loss
------------------------- ----------------- --------- -------- -----------

Rite Aid Corporation Consumer Cyclical $48 $37 $12
American Airlines Transportation 43 34 10
Williams Companies Utilities 35 29 6

Allied Waste, NA Utilities 25 20 5
National Golf Properties, Inc Other Financials 20 20 1
Crown Cork & Seal Basic Materials 22 19 5
OGE Energy Utilities 22 19 3


We own additional bonds of several of the above issuers, which are investment
grade and therefore are not included in the carrying values listed above.
Several of these individual creditors above are also on the potentially
distressed security list and are subject to additional analysis for other than
temporary impairment.

At September 30, 2002, below investment grade bonds were $1,054 or 5.5% of the
carrying value of the bond portfolio. At December 31, 2001, below investment
grade bonds were $1,065 or 6.1% of the carrying value of the bond portfolio. The
level of below investment grade bonds at September 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001 in our bond portfolio was higher than historical exposures. We are
currently managing the percentage of below investment grade bonds with the goal
of reducing our exposure as a percentage of the total portfolio over time.

UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES

As noted above, we regularly compare the fair value of our bond portfolio to
amortized cost. The majority of our unrealized gains and losses can be
attributed to changes in interest rates and market changes in credit spreads,
which have caused temporary price fluctuations. However, within the specific
bonds with unrealized losses, we further stratify and analyze them as discussed
above to determine if the unrealized loss is other than temporary.

The following table summarizes by category the unrealized gains and losses in
our entire securities portfolios, including common stock and redeemable
preferred stock, as of September 30, 2002.

The unrealized gains and losses shown above do not necessarily represent future
gains or losses that will be realized. Changing conditions related to specific
bonds or overall market interest rates or credit spreads may impact values
ultimately realized. Gross unrealized gains and losses at December 31, 2001 were
$1,114 and $(369).

As mentioned in the credit risk management section above, one of the factors we
monitor when determining if declines are other than temporary is the length of
time that a security's fair value has been below amortized cost. As of September
30, 2002, the $387 above of unrealized losses relates to the entire bond
portfolio. Of that amount, approximately 50% had been continuously in an
unrealized loss position for more than twelve months.

In identifying "potentially distressed securities" we screen for all securities
that have a fair value to amortized cost ratio of less than 80%, paying special
attention to securities which have been potentially distressed for a period
greater than six months. We assume that, absent reliable contradictory evidence,
a security which is potentially distressed for a continuous period greater than
twelve months has incurred an other than temporary impairment. Such reliable
contradictory evidence might include, among other factors, a liquidation
analysis performed by our investment professionals and consultants, improving
financial performance or valuation of underlying assets specifically pledged to
support the credit.

The following table shows the length of time that individual securities have met
our definition for inclusion on the potentially distressed security list:

% of
Distressed
Gross Securities
Fair Unrealized Unrealized Carrying
Value Losses Losses Value
----- ---------- ---------- --------
More than 1 year $ 53 $ 20 8.4% $ 55
6 months - 1 year 10 8 3.4% 10
Less than 6 months 404 210 88.2% 439
----- ----- ----- -----
Total $ 467 $ 238 100.0% $ 504
===== ===== ===== =====

Information about unrealized gains and losses as of September 30, 2002, is
subject to rapidly changing conditions. We expect that the total amount of
securities with unrealized gains and losses will fluctuate, as will those
securities that we have identified as potentially distressed. The recent
volatility of financial markets and declines in market interest rates has led to
an increase in both unrealized gains and losses. We consider all of the factors
discussed earlier when we determine if an unrealized loss is other than
temporary, including our ability and intent to hold the security until the value
recovers. Our current evaluation of other than temporary impairments reflects
our positive intent to hold certain securities until maturity. However, we may
subsequently decide to sell certain of these securities in future periods within
the overall context of our portfolio management strategies. If the decision is
made to dispose of a security with an unrealized loss, we will write down the
security to its fair value if the security has not been sold by the end of the
reporting period.

REALIZED LOSSES - WRITE DOWNS AND SALES

Realized losses are comprised of both write downs on other than temporary
impairments and actual sales of securities.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, we had other than
temporary impairments on bonds of $50 and $103. This contrasts to $0 in the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The individually material
impairments for 2002 (defined as write downs in excess of $10), how they were
measured, the circumstances giving rise to the losses, and the impact those
circumstances have on other material investments held are as follows:

- $19.6 write down on debt of WorldCom, Inc., which filed for
bankruptcy in July. This issuer had specific problems with
accounting restatements and potentially questionable business
practices. The entire telecommunications sector has been under
pressure due to overcapacity. We specifically look at other
creditors in this sector including several on our potentially
distressed security list and have determined that at this
point, the unrealized losses on securities we hold of other
material creditors are temporary.


37

- $13.4 write down of securitized manufactured housing debt,
which was secured by long term mortgages on mobile homes. We
concluded that projected cash flows of the underlying
collateral may be insufficient based on third-party
valuations. This had no impact on other holdings in our
portfolio.

- $11.6 write down on debt of NRG Energy, Inc. that defaulted
due to liquidity issues brought upon by rapid ratings
downgrades. The bulk of our holdings in the utilities sector
are regulated utility bonds. However, we do have exposure to
unregulated companies whose bonds are typically lower rated
and display greater risk profile than regulated industries.

The remainder of the write downs resulting from other than temporary impairments
were from 35 individual securities ranging from $8.9 to less than ten thousand
dollars which were spread across many different sectors and related to specific
issuer circumstances. Transportation, energy and telecommunications were the
sectors with the majority of write downs in 2002.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, the Company incurred losses
of $15 and $27 respectively on actual sales of securities. The only individually
material realized loss that occurred in 2002 from an actual sale of securities
was an $8.9 loss on Williams Cos., Inc., which suffered significant credit
downgrades within a short period. The amortized cost at the date of sale was
$22.8 and the proceeds were $13.8, which reflected the carrying value
immediately preceding the sale. The other actual losses were individually less
than $1.0. These disposals were in accordance with established portfolio
management strategies and did not previously meet the criteria appropriate for
other than temporary impairment.

MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES

Mortgage backed securities (including Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities) at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, all of which are included in debt
securities Available for Sale, were as follows:



September 30 December 31
2002 2001
------------ ------------

Federal agency issued mortgage backed securities $ 3,593 $ 3,254
Corporate private-labeled mortgage backed securities 2,147 2,330
------------ ------------
Total $ 5,740 $ 5,584
============ ============


Our investment strategy with respect to mortgage backed securities (MBS) focuses
on actively traded, less volatile issues that produce relatively stable cash
flows. The majority of MBS holdings are sequential and planned amortization
class tranches of federal agency issuers. The MBS portfolio has been constructed
with underlying mortgage collateral characteristics and structure in order to
mitigate cash flow volatility over a range of interest rate levels.

Because of the steep decline in interest rates in 2002, we have experienced a
larger than expected amount of prepayments on the MBS portfolio. Historically,
there is a two to three month delay in our receipt of principal repayments after
the individual mortgage loan has been paid off. The third quarter of 2002 saw
record amounts of refinancings due to historically low mortgage rates. Hence, we
expect to receive additional prepayments in the fourth quarter of 2002. Our MBS
portfolio is


38

primarily a discount portfolio. Therefore, the effect of larger than expected
prepayments was to accelerate the amortization of income in the third quarter;
however, these repayments were reinvested at lower yields. In addition, we
adjusted our long-term prepayment speeds for the calculation of effective yields
on a retrospective basis as a result of these prepayments. In the third quarter
of 2002, this adjustment increased investment income by $2.3 after-tax.

MORTGAGE LOANS

We record mortgage loans on real property net of an allowance for credit losses.
This allowance includes both reserve amounts for specific loans that are
believed to be at a higher risk of becoming impaired in the near future, and a
general reserve that is calculated by review of historical industry loan loss
statistics. We consider future cash flows and the probability of payment when we
calculate our specific loan loss reserve. At September 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001, our allowances for mortgage loan credit losses were $33 and $29.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Our guidelines permit use of derivative financial instruments such as futures
contracts and interest rate swaps in conjunction with specific direct
investments. Our actual use of derivatives through September 30, 2002 has been
limited to managing well-defined interest rate risks. Interest rate swaps
utilized in our asset/liability management strategy with a current notional
value of $314 and $132 were open as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
In the third quarter of 2002, we began using interest rate swaps to hedge future
bond purchases that will back deposits on certain annuity contracts. This
hedging strategy protects the spread between the annuity crediting rate offered
at the time the annuities are sold and the income that will eventually be earned
on bonds that will back annuity contracts issued. These interest rates contracts
are generally terminated within a month. Effective August 1, 2002, we now
purchase S&P 500 Index (R) options in association with our current sales of
equity indexed annuities. The reinsurance arrangement on previously issued
equity indexed annuities remains in existence.

MARKET RISK EXPOSURES

We believe that the amounts shown in the Form 10-K with respect to our exposure
to market risks, and relating to the incremental income (loss) deriving
primarily from differences in the yield curve, continue to be representative.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury rates rose in the first quarter of 2002 and have since
declined below the December 31, 2001 rate in the third quarter. Our equity
securities, primarily Bank of America Corporation (BankAmerica), are subject to
price risk. Our Form 10-K illustrates the impact of a 20% decline on our
December 31, 2001 equity holdings. The fair value of our BankAmerica common
stock at September 30, 2002 was $341.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

You should note that this document and our other SEC filings reflect information
that we believe was accurate as of the date the respective materials were made
publicly available. Thus they do not reflect later developments.

As a matter of policy, we do not normally make projections or forecasts of
future events or our performance. When we do, we rely on a safe harbor provided
by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for statements that are
not historical facts, called forward looking statements. These may include
statements relating to our future actions, sales and product development
efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, or
financial performance.

Certain information in our SEC filings and in any other written or oral
statements made by us or on our behalf, involves forward looking statements. We
have used appropriate care in developing this information, but any forward
looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate
assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties that could
significantly affect our actual results. These risks and uncertainties include
among others, the risk that we might fail to successfully complete our strategy
for substantially increasing life insurance sales; general economic conditions
(including the uncertainty as to the depth and duration of the current economic
slowdown and the rate at which the economy recovers), the impact on the economy
from any further terrorist activities, and interest rate changes and
fluctuations, all of which can impact our sales, investment portfolios, and
earnings; competitive factors, including pricing pressures, technological
developments, new product offerings and the emergence of new competitors; the
outcome of litigation; changes in federal and state taxes (including estate
taxes); changes in the regulation of the financial services industry; or changes
in other laws and regulations and their impact.

We undertake no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or
otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make
on related subjects in our press releases and filings with the SEC. In
particular, you should read the discussion in the section entitled "External
Trends and Forward Looking Information," and other sections it may reference, in
our most recent 10-K report as it may be updated in our subsequent 10-Q and 8-K
reports. This discussion covers certain risks, uncertainties and possibly
inaccurate assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially
from expected and historical results. Other factors besides those listed there
could also adversely affect our performance.
