PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
AFLAC Incorporated (the "Parent Company") was incorporated in 1973,
under the laws of the State of Georgia, and acts as a general business
holding company. The Parent Company is a management company principally
engaged, through its insurance subsidiaries, in providing supplemental
health insurance in the United States and Japan. Additionally, the Parent
Company through subsidiaries operates in television broadcasting and other
industries. As a management company, the Parent Company oversees the
operations of its subsidiaries and provides capital and management
services.
AFLAC Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("the Company") have only one
significant industry segment - insurance. For financial information
relating to the Company's foreign and U.S. operations, see Exhibit 13,
pages 13-5 to 13-13 and page 13-22 (note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements), which are incorporated herein by reference.
The Parent Company's principal operating subsidiary is American
Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus ("AFLAC"), which has both U.S.
and foreign operations (principally in Japan). AFLAC is a specialty
insurer whose dominant business is individual supplemental health
insurance with emphasis on the sale of cancer expense insurance plans.
Management believes AFLAC is the world's leading writer of cancer expense
insurance. The Japanese operation ("AFLAC Japan") also sells long-term
care plans ("Super Care"), old age assistance plans ("dementia care") and
supplemental general medical expense plans. The United States operation
("AFLAC U.S."), in addition to cancer expense plans, also sells other
types of supplemental health insurance, including hospital intensive care,
accident and disability, hospital indemnity, long-term care, home health
care and Medicare supplement plans. AFLAC U.S. also offers several life
insurance plans.
AFLAC, or through its subsidiaries, is authorized to conduct
insurance business in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American
Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands and several foreign countries. The Company's
only significant foreign operations are those of AFLAC's branch in Japan,
which accounted for 82% of the Company's total revenues in 1993.
Insurance premiums and investment income from insurance operations
are the major sources of revenues. The Company's consolidated premium
income was $4.2 billion for 1993, $3.4 billion for 1992 and $2.8 billion
for 1991. The following table lists, for each of the last three years,
the percentage of consolidated premiums contributed by each class of
insurance sold:

INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT RESULTS:
The Company's investments (including cash) amounted to $12.5 billion
at December 31, 1993, an increase of $3.0 billion over 1992. Net
investment income of $689.3 million in 1993 continues to be a growing
source of revenues and earnings of the Company, increasing $156.1 million
in 1993 over 1992 and $101.9 million in 1992 over 1991. It is generally
AFLAC's policy to invest in high-grade investments, principally in high-
quality government, public utility and corporate bonds.
AFLAC primarily operates within the investment environments of the
United States and Japan. Although aspects of these two financial markets
are slowly converging, they remain fundamentally different. For example,
differences in asset selection, liquidity, credit quality, accounting
practices, and insurance and tax regulations affects the way the Company
invests and purchases securities.
The challenge is to integrate the varied market characteristics of
Japan and the United States into a unified and coherent set of investment
strategies. The Company has streamlined and integrated the organizational
structure of the investment department into a single functional unit and
has set specific worldwide criteria regarding credit quality, liquidity,
compliance with regulatory requirements and conformance to product needs.
During 1993, 91.5% of AFLAC Japan's yen cash flow available for
investments was allocated to yen-denominated securities, while the
remaining 8.5% was invested in dollar-denominated securities. Of the
total amount invested in 1993, 37.7% was invested in Japanese government
bonds at a yield of 5.56%, 29.1% was invested in the longer-dated private
sector at a rate of 5.95%, 5.6% was invested in municipal bonds at a rate
of 4.31%, and the remaining 19.1% of yen cash flow was invested in yen in
assorted sectors at an average rate of 4.80%.
At year-end 1993, Japanese government bonds accounted for 33.7% of
AFLAC Japan's yen-denominated investments. Twenty-year government bonds
accounted for 84% of AFLAC Japan's government bond holdings. AFLAC Japan
continued to use longer-dated corporate instruments in 1993. These yen-
I-2
denominated securities, which the Company has arranged with groups such as
McDonald's, AMP Japan and the Canadian Province of Quebec, are essential
in achieving the optimal asset/liability match, an investment goal vital
to the Company's overall strategy. Such longer-dated instruments
accounted for 17.2% of the invested assets in Japan at year-end. Other
sectors included: municipal securities representing 7.2% of the
portfolio, utility bonds representing 19.1%, and assorted other sectors
accounting for 17.2%.
The Company continued to avoid the Japanese equity and investment
real estate markets in 1993. AFLAC Japan's equity portfolio accounted for
only .1% of invested assets at year-end, and the Company does not expect
this portion to increase in 1994. The Company also does not anticipate
any change in the current level of mortgage loans on Japanese real estate,
which was less than .1% of invested assets at year-end.
The Company increased its commitment to the dollar-denominated
portfolio of AFLAC Japan's invested assets during 1993. AFLAC Japan added
$221.2 million to this portfolio at an average yield of 6.34%. AFLAC
Japan's dollar-denominated portfolio represented 5.7% of invested assets
in Japan, or $647.7 million at the end of 1993, compared with $426.5
million at the end of 1992. This portfolio carries certain tax and yield
advantages that make it attractive; however, the Company is careful to
balance yield enhancement with its corporate goal of increasing profit
repatriation.
In the United States, profits repatriated from Japan totaled $97.9
million in 1993, up from $33.4 million in 1992. This repatriation
enhances total company results since the Company can earn increased
investment income on these funds by investing them in U.S. dollar-
denominated securities versus yen-denominated investments. During 1993,
repatriated funds were invested in dollar-denominated securities at an
average rate of 6.81%. The Company expects profit repatriation to
continue to have a positive impact on its total company after-tax earnings
in the future.
The Company's portfolio allocation in the United States continued its
emphasis on investment-grade corporate bonds, which accounted for 83.0% of
the new money purchases in 1993, at an average yield of 6.96%. AFLAC U.S.
maintained its overall investment quality throughout the year, with 53.2%
of the portfolio rated "AA" or better. The continued active management of
this portfolio produced realized investment gains before taxes of $4.3
million.
The equity portion of the AFLAC U.S. portfolio remained fairly
constant at $55.8 million, but its size relative to total AFLAC U.S.
invested assets fell from 7.0% in 1992 to 5.6% in 1993. AFLAC U.S. has
taken a cautious stance toward U.S. equities given the prevailing market
levels. Mortgage loans on real estate continued to decline and were
immaterial at year-end.
For information on the composition of the Company's investment
portfolio and investment results, see Part IV, Schedule I, and Exhibit 13,

Statements), which are incorporated herein by reference.

========== ========== ==========
In 1974, AFLAC became the second foreign (non-Japanese) life
insurance company to gain direct access to the Japanese insurance market
by obtaining a license to do business in Japan. A thorough study of the
market in Japan indicated a definite need for a cancer insurance
supplement to the coverage provided by that nation's comprehensive
national health program. Through 1981, AFLAC was the only company in
Japan authorized to issue a cancer expense insurance policy. Since that
time, several other life and non-life companies have been permitted to
offer cancer insurance. However, AFLAC remains the leading issuer of
cancer expense insurance coverage in Japan, principally due to its lead
time in the market, its unique marketing system (see "Agency Force") and
its product expertise developed in the United States. AFLAC has been very
successful in the sale of cancer expense policies in Japan, with over 10.9
million cancer policies in force at December 31, 1993.
HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS:
AFLAC's insurance is supplemental in nature and is designed to
provide insurance to cover the medical and nonmedical costs that are not
reimbursed by other forms of Japanese health coverage.
The cancer expense insurance plans offered in Japan are basically
daily indemnity plans, providing a flat amount for each day the insured is
hospitalized for the treatment of cancer. The plans differ from the AFLAC
U.S. cancer plans (described on pages I-7 and I-8) in that our policies in
Japan also provide death benefits and cash surrender values (the Company
estimates that approximately 28% of the premiums earned are associated
with these benefits). Also, premiums for only new policies issued can be
revised with consent of the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MOF).
During 1990, AFLAC introduced the Super Cancer Plan. The Super
Cancer Plan includes, for the first time in Japan, first occurrence and
outpatient benefits in addition to the benefits of the previous cancer
coverages. The premium is approximately 33% to 35% higher than the
previous cancer plan. Recent sales of new policies and conversions of
existing policies resulted in 48.2% of all cancer units in force being
Super Cancer Plans as of December 31, 1993.
In May 1992, AFLAC broadened its product line with the introduction
of a new care product, "Super Care". Super Care provides periodic
benefits to those who become bedridden, demented or seriously disabled due
to illness or accident. The new plan is offered with several riders,
providing death benefits or additional care benefits, to enhance coverage.
I-4
Prior to the introduction of the "Super Care" plan, AFLAC actively
marketed a dementia care policy. At December 31, 1993, there were 32,150
policies in force of this type of policy, which provides a lump-sum
benefit upon death or occurrence of dementia and a cash surrender value
until age 60, 65, or 70; and thereafter provides a periodic indemnity
benefit upon occurrence of dementia, together with a reduced death
benefit. If no claims are made, a reduced cash benefit is paid for each
five-year period thereafter.
AFLAC also sells a supplemental general medical policy on a limited
basis. This policy is similar to products offered by other companies in
Japan and is offered in order to provide some competitive protection to
the existing cancer insurance business.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) in Japan has started to permit
insurance companies to increase the premiums on new policy issues in
response to the lower investment yield rates available in the Japanese
market. AFLAC Japan increased the premiums on Super Care new issues by an
average of 10% (effective November 1993) and will increase the premiums on
Super Cancer new issues by an average of 16% starting in July 1994. Since
the premium increases apply to new policies only, Management does not
expect any significant adverse impact on AFLAC Japan's policy persistency
rate due to higher premiums.
AGENCY FORCE:
The development of a "Corporate Agency" system has been important to
the growth of AFLAC Japan. This method of distributing our products
permits Japanese companies to form insurance agencies as subsidiaries
which offer our insurance plans to the total affiliated group's employees,
suppliers and customers. About 92% of all companies listed on the Tokyo
Stock Exchange have either a corporate agency or allow payroll deduction
of premiums for AFLAC's products.
AFLAC products are also sold through unaffiliated corporate agencies
and through agencies formed by individuals. At December 31, 1993, there
were 4,539 agencies in Japan with 17,838 licensed agents. Agents'
activities are principally limited to insurance sales, with policyholder
service functions handled by the main office in Tokyo and 66 sales offices
located in 44 locations throughout Japan.
REGULATION AND REMITTANCE OF FUNDS:
The Parent Company and AFLAC U.S. receive funds from AFLAC Japan in
the form of management fees, allocated AFLAC U.S. expenses and profit
remittances. These cash transfers to the U.S. aggregated $133.4 million,
$65.5 million and $48.5 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Management fees paid to the Parent Company are largely based on expense
allocations. It is expected that profit remittances will grow in future
years, based on projected annual earnings of AFLAC Japan as computed on a
Japanese regulatory accounting basis and using a March 31 year-end.
Japanese earnings available for profit remittance reflect investments
generally valued at the lower of market value or cost. Also, AFLAC
Japan's statutory earnings reflect foreign exchange gains and losses on
the translation of its U.S. dollar-denominated investments. Therefore,
changes in interest rate levels, yen/dollar exchange rates and other
factors that affect market values of investment securities can cause wide
fluctuations from year to year in the amounts of regulatory earnings in
Japan and, therefore, profit remittances to AFLAC U.S.
I-5
As part of the deregulation process, the MOF is developing new
solvency regulations and standards which represent a form of risk-based
capital requirements. AFLAC Japan must meet these requirements to
continue profit transfers to AFLAC U.S. At present, AFLAC Japan is in
compliance with the proposed new standards.
The insurance business in Japan, which is conducted through a branch
office of AFLAC, is subject to regulation by the Japanese Ministry of
Finance (the "MOF"), similar to the regulation and supervision in the
United States as described on page I-9 under "Insurance U.S. Regulation".
AFLAC Japan files annual reports and financial statements for the Japan
insurance operations based on a March 31 year-end, prepared in accordance
with Japanese regulatory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
the MOF. Also, the financial and other affairs of AFLAC Japan are subject
to examination by the MOF.
Reconciliations of AFLAC Japan net assets on a GAAP basis to net
assets determined on a Japanese regulatory accounting basis as of December
31 are as follows:
(in thousands - unaudited) 1993 1992
_________ __________

Other, net (14,010) 1,350
_________ _________
Net assets on Japanese regulatory
accounting basis $ 184,372 $ 197,823
========= =========
The Japanese government is continuing the discussions begun in 1991
with the insurance industry and other groups to explore various long-term
deregulation approaches for the financial services businesses in Japan.
The principles upon which deregulation of the Japanese insurance industry
are based are: (1) to promote competition and to enhance efficiency
through deregulation and liberalization; (2) to preserve soundness; and
(3) to secure fairness and equity in business operations. This project is
still in a preliminary stage and the ultimate changes and their effects
are not presently determinable.
Due to the Company's unique marketing distribution system in Japan,
Management believes that deregulation will not have an immediate material
effect on the Company.

======== ======== ========
HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS:
AFLAC's insurance is supplemental in nature and is typically sold to
persons who have private or governmental major medical insurance. All of
AFLAC's supplemental health insurance plans are guaranteed renewable for
the lifetime of the policyholder. Guaranteed renewable coverage may not
be canceled by the insurer, but premium rates on existing and future
policies may be increased by class of policy in response to claims
experience higher than originally expected (subject to federal and state
loss-ratio guidelines) on a uniform, non-discriminatory, state-wide basis
subject to state regulatory approval. Ongoing rate increase programs have
aided the increase in revenues, helped improve loss ratios and contributed
to the profitability of the Company.
AFLAC's cancer plans are designed to provide insurance benefits for
medical and non-medical costs which are generally not reimbursed by major
medical insurance. AFLAC currently offers a series of five different
cancer plans in the United States that vary by benefit amounts and type.
All five plans provide a first occurrence benefit that pays an initial
amount when internal cancer is first diagnosed, a flat amount for each day
an insured is hospitalized for cancer treatment, and benefits for medical,
radiation, chemotherapy, nursing, blood, plasma, physician,
transportation, prosthesis and ambulance expenses. Some of the plans
currently offered contain benefits which reimburse the insured for
anesthesia and surgical expenses incurred in connection with cancer
treatment, as well as benefits for a second surgical opinion and a
"wellness" benefit applicable toward certain diagnostic tests such as pap
smears and mammograms. AFLAC also issues several riders that may be
purchased, including one that increases the amount of the first occurrence
I-7
benefit for each month until age 65 that the coverage remains in force.
AFLAC periodically introduces new forms of coverage, revising benefits and
related premiums based upon the anticipated needs of the policyholders and
AFLAC's claims experience.
AFLAC currently markets five of the Medicare Supplement Standardized
Plans, with the majority of sales being for Plans F and C. The plans are
priced on an issue age basis. Under this method, rates are revised due to
changes in the medicare program and medical inflation. There is no
automatic rate increase due to the aging of the insured. Premium rates
are determined based on zip code groupings, which are adjusted for
increases in costs for each area. The benefits provided range from the
basic plan, covering Part A and B coinsurance, to plans with more
extensive coverage, including Part A and B deductibles, skilled nursing
coinsurance, Part B excess and other benefits. AFLAC U.S. does not market
the standardized plans covering prescription drug benefits.
AFLAC also issues other supplemental health insurance, such as
intensive care, which is a low-premium policy that provides protection
against the high cost of intensive care facilities during hospital
confinement, regardless of reimbursements from other insurers. Other
types of health insurance issued by AFLAC include a long-term convalescent
care policy, a home health care policy, an accident and disability
protection policy, and a hospital confinement indemnity policy.
LIFE INSURANCE PLANS:
AFLAC issues various life insurance policies including whole life,
limited pay life and term life coverage. LifeCare policies, which
constitute the majority of the life insurance sales, are written under
master policies issued through several employer trusts. LifeCare policies
are marketed in a manner similar to the health plans, as described below.
AGENCY FORCE AND MARKETING:
AFLAC's sales agents are licensed to sell accident and health
insurance, and many are also licensed to sell life insurance. Most
agents' efforts are directed toward selling supplemental health insurance.
The 1993 monthly average number of U.S. agents and brokers actively
producing business was 5,437 as compared to 4,960 in 1992.
Agents' activities are principally limited to sales, with all
policyholder service functions, including issuance of policies, premium
collection, payment notices and claims handled by the staff at
headquarters. Agents are paid commissions based on first-year and renewal
premiums from their sales of health and life insurance products. AFLAC's
State, Regional and District Sales Coordinators are compensated by
override commissions.
AFLAC has concentrated on the development of "cluster selling" in
marketing its policies. Cluster selling offers policies to individuals
through common media such as trade and other associations or place of
employment. This manner of marketing is distinct from "group" insurance
sales in that each individual insured is directly contacted by the sales
associate. Policies are individually underwritten and issued to the
insured, and most employers do not contribute to the payment of premiums.
Additionally, individuals may retain their full insurance coverage upon
separation from employment or such affiliation, generally at the same
premium. A major portion of premiums on such sales are collected through
I-8
payroll deduction or other forms of group billings. Group billed plans
normally result in a lower average age of the insured at the time of
policy issuance, and also result in certain savings in administrative
costs, a portion of which are passed on to the policyholder in the form of
reduced premiums. Management believes that cluster selling enables the
agency force to reach a greater number of prospective policyholders than
individual solicitation, and that such sales lower distribution costs.
Another valuable marketing and sales tool is the flexible benefits
program, or cafeteria plan, which allows an employee to pay for medical
insurance using pretax dollars. These programs help achieve increased
penetration as agents are required to present the program to all
employees. They also help improve overall persistency levels due to the
limited changes allowed during the plan year.
During 1993 and 1992, AFLAC continued to develop marketing
arrangements with insurance brokers. AFLAC has signed joint marketing
agreements with several large companies within and outside of the
insurance industry. Although the core of the Company's distribution
network will remain independent agents, the Company expects business
generated by insurance brokers and joint marketing agreements to play an
important role in the Company's future expansion.
In 1993, AFLAC's U.S. premiums collected were $717.9 million, 6.9% of
which was collected in Georgia, 6.9% in Florida, 6.6% in Texas, 5.6% in
North Carolina, and 5.1% in Tennessee. Premiums collected in all other
states were individually less than 5% of AFLAC's U.S. premiums.
REGULATION:
The Parent Company and its insurance subsidiaries are subject to
state regulations as an insurance holding company system. Such
regulations generally provide that transactions between companies within
the holding company system must be fair and equitable. In addition,
transfer of assets among such affiliated companies, certain dividend
payments from insurance subsidiaries and material transactions between
companies within the system are subject to prior notice to, or approval
by, state regulatory authorities.
AFLAC and its insurance subsidiaries, in common with all U.S.
insurance companies, are subject to regulation and supervision in the
states and other jurisdictions in which they do business. In general, the
insurance laws of the various jurisdictions establish supervisory agencies
with broad administrative powers relating to, among other things: granting
and revoking licenses to transact business, regulating trade practices,
licensing agents, prior approval of forms of policies and premium rate
increases, standards of solvency and maintenance of specified policy
benefit reserves and capital for the protection of policyholders,
limitations on dividends to shareholders, the nature of and limitations on
investments, deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders,
filing of annual reports and financial statements prepared in accordance
with statutory insurance accounting practices prescribed or permitted by
the regulatory authorities, and periodic examinations of the financial and
other affairs of insurance companies.
For further information concerning state regulatory and dividend
restrictions see Exhibit 13, page 13-34 (note 9 - Statutory Accounting and
Dividend Restrictions of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements),
incorporated herein by reference.
A number of state regulatory initiatives have been adopted or are in
process of development. One such initiative which has been finalized by
I-9
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is the risk
based capital (RBC) formula. The RBC model law was approved by the NAIC
and requires the calculation of capital requirements based on risks
inherent within a company's products and assets. The RBC model law is in
the process of being adopted by the various state insurance departments;
however, several states have promulgated their own RBC calculations during
the last several years. The Company has monitored its RBC position under
the various calculations. The RBC calculations at the end of 1993 and
1992 reflected that the Company's capital and surplus levels were well in
excess of those calculations in the enacted formulae.
Currently, four states have laws, regulations or regulatory practices
which either prohibit the sale of specific disease insurance, such as
AFLAC's cancer expense insurance, or make its sale impractical. These
states are Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. The
remainder of the states do not impose prohibitions or restrictions that
prevent AFLAC from marketing cancer expense insurance. The Company is
marketing several of its other products in these states, directly or
through a subsidiary.
The Company will be monitoring developments in the U.S. Congress
concerning possible changes to the U.S. health care system. Due to the
tremendous costs associated with providing health care insurance to the
U.S. citizens that are not covered by health insurance, it is Management's
opinion that any health care reform package will leave gaps in coverage
that will continue to provide a market for supplemental health insurance.
COMPETITION:
The accident and health and life insurance industry in the United
States is highly competitive. AFLAC competes with a large number of other
insurers, some of which have been in business for a longer period of time
or have greater financial resources. In the United States, there are more
than 2,000 life and accident and health insurance companies, most of which
compete in the states in which AFLAC conducts business.
Private insurers and voluntary and cooperative plans, such as Blue
Cross and Blue Shield, provide insurance for meeting basic hospitalization
and medical expenses. Much of this insurance is sold on a group basis.
The federal and state governments also pay substantial costs of medical
treatment through Medicare and Medicaid programs. Such major medical
insurance generally covers a substantial amount of the medical (but not
non-medical) expenses incurred by an insured as a result of cancer or
other major illnesses. AFLAC's policies are designed to provide coverage
which is supplemental to that provided by major medical insurance and may
also be used to defray non-medical expenses.
Since other insurers generally do not provide full coverage of
medical expenses or any coverage of non-medical expenses, AFLAC's
supplemental insurance is not an alternative to major medical insurance,
but is sold to complement major medical insurance by covering the gap
between major medical insurance reimbursements and the total costs of an
individual's health care. AFLAC thus competes only indirectly with major
medical insurers in terms of premium rates and similar factors. However,
the scope of the major medical coverage offered by other insurers does
represent a limitation on the market for AFLAC's products. Accordingly,
expansion of coverage by other insurers or governmental programs, such as
the comprehensive federal health insurance program now being discussed in
the United States, could adversely affect AFLAC's business opportunities.
I-10
AFLAC competes directly with other insurers offering supplemental
health insurance and believes that its current policies and premium rates
are generally competitive with those offered by other companies selling
similar types of insurance.
For additional information regarding U.S. insurance operations, see
Exhibit 13, page 13-9, which is incorporated herein by reference.
EMPLOYEES:
In its U.S. insurance operations, the Company employed 1,618 full-
time and 40 part-time employees at December 31, 1993. The Company
considers its employee relations to be excellent.
OTHER OPERATIONS:
At December 31, 1993, the AFLAC Broadcast Division owned seven
network-affiliated television stations with total assets of $205.5
million. The Broadcast Division employed 495 full-time and 96 part-time
employees at December 31, 1993. The Broadcast Group considers its
employee relations to be excellent.
The broadcast division produced increased revenues and earnings
during 1993, despite difficult comparisons to 1992 when revenues benefited
from election-year spending. Revenues increased 3.3%, to $68.5 million.
Pretax earnings before interest expense rose .8%, to $13.4 million.
The broadcast division has succeeded despite significant changes in
the industry. With the emergence of new cable networks and stations,
there are more outlets for advertising dollars than ever before. Despite
the segmentation of television entertainment and news, network-affiliated
stations continue to effectively deliver mass audiences to advertisers.
As a result, the AFLAC Broadcast Division is able to successfully compete
in a crowded, competitive marketplace. With the strong market positions
of our stations, an improving U.S. economy and advertising benefits from
off-year elections, Management expects the operating results to improve in
1994.
For additional information regarding broadcast operations, see
Exhibit 13, page 13-10, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company's other operations employed 316 full-time and 5 part-time
employees at December 31, 1993; employee relations are considered to be
excellent.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
AFLAC owns an 18-story office building, which is the worldwide
headquarters of the Parent Company and AFLAC, along with a six-story
parking garage. These structures are located on approximately 14 acres of
land in Columbus, Georgia. In addition, AFLAC Real Estate Holdings, Inc.
(AREH), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, owns a two-story
building located on the same property and an administrative office
building located nearby leased to AFLAC. The Parent Company, AFLAC and
AREH also own and lease office space and warehouse facilities at other
locations in the United States.
I-11
In Japan, AFLAC leases office space in Tokyo, along with regional
sales offices located throughout the country, and owns a training and
computer facility in Tokyo. A new administrative office building is under
construction in Tokyo. For further information concerning the new
building in Japan, see Exhibit 13, pages 13-13, (discussion concerning
cash flow) and 13-29 (note 5, of Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements), which are incorporated herein by reference. Other foreign
affiliates of the Company also have leased office space.
The Broadcast Group owns and leases land, buildings, transmission
towers and other broadcast equipment in the cities where the seven
television stations are located.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 1, 1988, a lawsuit purporting to be a shareholders
derivative suit was filed by Susie H. Millsap on behalf of the Company in
the Superior Court of Meriwether County, Georgia, naming as individual
defendants the Company's Board of Directors (the "Action"). Mrs. Millsap
is the daughter of Kenneth M. Henson, a former employee of and counsel for
the Company. The original complaint was subsequently amended to
substitute The Henson Company in place of Mrs. Millsap as plaintiff. The
Company was named a party defendant in the suit but no claim was asserted
against the Company. The Action alleged that the members of the Board of
Directors improperly approved or acquiesced in certain transactions
between the Company and Mr. John B. Amos (the Company's former Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer).
Since the Action purported to be a shareholder derivative suit, any
recovery (except recovery of attorneys' fees and costs of litigation)
would inure to the Company's benefit and not to the plaintiff. The Board
of Directors of the Company appointed a Special Litigation Committee of
independent Directors to inquire into the matters alleged in the Action
and to report its findings.
The Special Litigation Committee issued its final report on March 12,
1990. The report recommended that the Company collect the amount of
$64,600 from Mr. John Amos as additional interest due on a promissory note
executed by Mr. Amos in 1975 when he purchased shares of common stock from
the Company. Mr. Amos paid this amount to the Company in March 1990. The
report also concluded that the allegations made in the lawsuit were
without merit and recommended that no action be brought by or on behalf of
the Company against any officer or Director with regard to such
allegations and that the Company seek dismissal of the lawsuit.
Pursuant to the Company's Motion to Dismiss the Action, the Superior
Court of Meriwether County, Georgia, entered its Order and Judgement on
January 27, 1992, in which the Court dismissed the Action based on its
findings that the Special Litigation Committee and its counsel were
independent, that the Committee's investigation was adequate, and that its
conclusions and recommendations were reasonable and appropriate within the
bounds of the business judgement rule under Georgia law.
This decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeals of Georgia on
March 12, 1993. A motion for reconsideration was denied by the Court on
March 30, 1993.
On September 10, 1993, the Supreme Court of Georgia denied a motion
for rehearing of the Supreme Court's previous July 15, 1993 denial of a
writ of certiorari filed by the plaintiff with respect to the Court of
Appeals decision.
I-12
The Company is also a defendant in various other litigation
considered to be in the normal course of business. Management does not
believe the outcome of any pending litigation in which it is a defendant
will have a material effect on the Company.
