PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

        Kansas City Life Insurance Company (KCL) was incorporated under the assess-ment laws of Missouri in 1895 as the Bankers Life Association. In 1900, its present corporate title was adopted and it was reorganized as a legal reserve company in 1903. The Company operates nationwide, being licensed in 48 states and the District of Columbia.

        The Company primarily operates in four business segments: Kansas City Life Insurance Company, divided between its individual and group businesses, and its two insurance affiliates, Sunset Life Insurance Company of America (Sunset) and Old American Insurance Company (Old American). KCL markets its individual products, principally interest sensitive and variable products, through a career general agency sales force and these products generate 41% of consolidated insur-ance revenues. Variable universal life and annuities totaled 45% of new statutory premiums in 2001. The group products, largely life, disability and administrative services only, are sold through the general agency sales force and appointed group agents. Group revenues account for 22% of insurance revenues. Sunset markets interest sensitive and traditional products to individuals through a personal pro-ducing general agency system. Sunset operates in 43 states and the District of Columbia. This segment provides 9% of revenues. The Old American segment markets whole life final expense products to seniors through a general agency sales force. Old American operates in 46 states and the District of Columbia, and accounts for 28% of consolidated insurance revenues.

        Old American and Sunset's administrative and accounting operations and systems are merged into KCL's home office. However, each entity operates a separate and independent marketing department and field force.

        KCL and its subsidiaries are subject to state regulations in their states of domicile and in the states in which they do business. Although the federal govern-ment generally does not regulate the business of insurance, federal initiatives often have an impact on the business in a variety of ways including the taxation of insurance companies and the tax treatment of insurance products.

        KCL and its subsidiaries have 638 full time employees located in the home office. The Company considers relations with its employees to be good.

        The Company is engaged in a competitive industry, competing with 1,500 to 2,000 other life insurance companies in the United States. The industry is highly competitive with respect to pricing, selection of products and quality of service. No single competitor nor any small group of competitors dominates any of the markets in which the Company operates.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

        Kansas City Life's home office is located at 3520 Broadway in Kansas City, Missouri. The Company owns and wholly occupies two five story buildings on an eight acre site.

        The Company owns various other properties held for investment.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        In recent years, the life insurance industry, including the Company and its subsidiaries, have been subject to an increase in litigation pursued on behalf of purported classes of insurance purchasers, questioning the conduct of insurers in the marketing of their products. The Company believes that the actions described below are part of this trend. The Company denies all allegations of wrongdoing in these lawsuits, and has been defending them vigorously.

        In the previously reported case of Patricia A. Adams, et al, v. Kansas City Life Insurance Company, United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Case No. 981053CVW-9-6, following denial of the plaintiffs' amended motion for class certification in April, 2000, the case was transferred back to the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Case No. 8:97-CV-2921-T-26TGW. The Company has now settled with all individual plaintiffs for nominal amounts.

        In the previously reported case of Edgar W. Howard, Sr., Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Sunset Life Insurance Company of America, Burnett County, Texas, Thirty-third Judicial Case No. 20451, the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's entry of a summary judgment on behalf of Sunset Life on all plaintiffs' claims.

        In the previously reported case of David Bahr, et al, v. Kansas City Life Insurance Company, Frank Sherlock, et al, San Bernardino County, California Superior Court, Case No. SCVSS 58192, it has been resolved through arbitration. The arbitrator has entered an order resolving all of plaintiff's claims in exchange for payment of less than $50,000 by the Company.

        In the case of Charles R. Sullivan, etc., previously reported in the Company's Form 10-Q Report for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2001, discovery is continuing. Management believes that it is administering and has responsibility for less than 200 of the policies involved in this dispute.

        In the previously reported case of Wilner v. Sunset Life Insurance Company, Dean Delevie, et al, Case No. SC051573, the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, on February 28, 2002 approved a settlement of a nation-wide class action lawsuit focusing on universal life sales practices by Sunset Life. The settlement will become final after 60 days if no appeal is taken from the court's order approving the settlement. With certain limited exceptions, the class that is bound by the terms of the settlement includes persons and entities who at any time during the class period (January 1, 1982 through December 31, 2001) had an ownership interest in one or more of Sunset Life's universal life policies during the class period. The reserve in connection with this settlement was increased to $18,000,000 in 2001. Given the uncertainties associated with estimating the reserve, it is reasonably possible that the final cost of the settlement could differ materially from the amounts presently provided for by us. We will continue to update this estimate of the final cost of the settlement as the claims are processed and more specific information is developed, particularly as the actual cost of the claims subject to a claims resolution procedure becomes available. However, based on information available at the time, and the uncertainties associated with the final claim processing and claim resolution, the range of any additional costs related to the settlement cannot be estimated with precision.

        In addition to the above, the Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in, or subject to other claims or legal actions. Some of these claims and legal actions are in jurisdictions where juries are given substantial latitude in assessing damages, including punitive damages. Although no assurances can be given and no determinations can be made at this time, management believes that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these other claims and legal actions, would have no material effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

        No matters were submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

        (f)   Defined Benefit or Actuarial Plan Disclosure

        The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which covers employees age 21 and over. Effective January 1, 1998, the pension plan was con-verted to a cash balance plan. Benefits under the plan will no longer be determined primarily by final average compensation and years of service. Each participant's benefit accrued under the prior plan formula as of December 31, 1997 was converted to an opening account balance in the cash balance plan.

        Beginning in 1998, participants accumulate annual pay credits equal to a percentage of annual compensation, ranging from 3% to 16% based on service of the participant. The cash balance account is further credited with interest annually which is based on the 30-year treasury bond rate in effect for November of the prior plan year. Upon termination of employment, the account balance as of such date may be distributed to the participant in lump sum or annuity form, at the election of the participant. Benefits vest according to years of service after age 18 on a graded scale, beginning with 30% vesting with 3 years, and becoming 100% vested with 7 years. Compensation for determining benefits under the plan is equal to base salary, excluding overtime and bonuses.

        Participants age 55 with 15 years of service as of December 31, 1997 will receive the greater of the benefit under the cash balance plan, or the prior plan formula based on final average compensation and years of service. The following table illustrates the possible annual pension benefits under the prior plan formula based upon final average compensation and years of service, for these employees. Participants may elect a lump sum distribution.

*Maximum pension based on an estimate of Social Security
**Estimated annual Social Security benefit at age 65

        A participant's base salary not to exceed $150,000 (as adjusted for cost of living) commencing January 1, 1994, was used to determine compensation under the plan for benefits from the qualified plan. For the individuals named in the Cash Compensation Table, the years of service covered by the plan for the year ended December 31, 2001, were: R. P. Bixby, 24 years; R. L. Finn, 28 years; J. D. Hayes, 8 years; C. R. Duffy, Jr., 12 years; C. J. Malacarne, 35 years.

        The estimated annual annuity benefit payable starting at normal retirement age (age 65) as accrued through December 31, 2001 under the cash balance plan for each of the named individuals are as follows: R. P. Bixby, $167,604; R. L. Finn, $153,325; J. D. Hayes, $19,899; C. R. Duffy, Jr., $28,196; C. J. Malacarne, $144,946.

        The Company has adopted an unfunded excess benefit plan which covers any employee who is an active participant in the non-contributory defined benefit pension plan and whose pension benefit under that plan would exceed the maximum benefit limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 415. A participant under this plan is entitled to a monthly benefit of the difference between the maximum monthly normal, early, or deferred vested retirement benefit determined without regard to the Internal Revenue Code Section 415 limitation and the monthly equivalent of the maximum benefit permitted by Internal Revenue Code Section 415. Participants may elect a lump sum distribution.
