SOUTHERN SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2003
(Unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by
management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for complete financial statements. All adjustments
and accruals considered necessary for fair presentation of financial information
have been included in the opinion of management, and are of a normal recurring
nature. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual
results. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Southern Security Life
Insurance Company 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002 (file number 2-35669).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The estimates susceptible to significant change are those used in determining
the liability for future policy benefits and claims. Although some variability
is inherent in these estimates, management believes the amounts provided are
adequate.

2. Comprehensive Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, total comprehensive income
(loss) was $72,869 and $(112,511) , respectively.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Southern
Security Life should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial
Statements and Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements included in this
report.

The Company has primarily issued three types of insurance products: universal
life, 10-Pay Whole Life with an Annuity Rider, and final expense products.
Universal life provides insurance coverage with flexible premiums, within
limits, which allow policyholders to accumulate cash values. The accumulated
cash values are credited with tax-deferred interest, as adjusted by the Company
on a periodic basis. Deducted from the cash accumulations are administrative
charges and mortality costs. Should a policy surrender in its early years, the
Company assesses a surrender fee against the cash value accumulations based on a
graded formula.







Final expense products are traditional endowment type insurance policies written
for the senior market. Because the products are written to a senior market they
are designed to accommodate adverse health conditions. Because of the size of
the policies, the products are usually issued with only limited underwriting.
The coverage size of the policy is roughly equivalent to the insured's
anticipated funeral costs.

The 10-Pay Whole Life with an Annuity Rider product is designed for the student
loan market. The savings aspect of the Annuity Rider is marketed as a tool for
parents to help fund their children's higher education. The product is offered
to parents who have children under the age of 25.

The Company established a lead generation program that has been coupled with a
recruiting program for new sales agents to help generate new business.

An additional source of income to the Company is investment income. The Company
invests those funds deposited by policyholders of universal life and annuity
products in debt and equity securities, mortgage loans, and warehouse mortgage
loans on a short-term basis before selling the loans to investors in accordance
with the requirements and laws governing life insurance companies, in order to
earn interest and dividend income, a portion of which is credited back to the
policyholders. Interest rates and maturities of the Company's investment
portfolio play an important part in determining the interest rates credited to
policyholders.

Product profitability is affected by several different factors, such as
mortality experience (actual versus expected), interest rate spreads (excess
interest earned over interest credited to policyholders) and controlling policy
acquisition costs and other costs of operation. The results of any one reporting
period may be significantly affected by the level of death claims or other
policyholder benefits incurred due to the Company's relatively small size.

Results of Operations

First Quarter of 2003 Compared to First Quarter 2002

Total revenues increased by $232,000, or 9.1%, to $2,776,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, from $2,544,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2002. Contributing to this increase was a $182,000 increase in net insurance
revenues.

Net insurance revenues increased by $182,000, or 11.4%, to $1,775,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003, from $1,593,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
traditional life sales.

Net investment income increased by $50,000, or 5.3%, to $1,001,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, from $951,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2002. This increase was due to additional interest income earned on warehouse
mortgage loans.






Benefits and claims increased by $289,000 or 27.4%, to $1,342,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, from $1,053,000 for the comparable period in 2002.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in death claims and future policy
benefits.

Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs decreased by $108,000, or
21.2%, to $400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $508,000 for
the comparable period in 2002. This decrease was in line with actuarial
assumptions.

Operating expenses decreased by $6,000, or .7%, to $922,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003, from $928,000 for the same period in 2002. This decrease
was primarily the result of reduced legal fees expended for litigation purposes
offset by increases in wages and benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company attempts to match the duration of invested assets with its
policyholder liabilities. The Company may sell investments other than those
held-to-maturity in the portfolio to help in this timing; however, to date, that
has not been necessary. The Company purchases short-term investments on a
temporary basis to meet the expectations of short-term requirements of the
Company's products. The Company's investment philosophy is intended to provide a
rate of return that will persist during the expected duration of policyholder
liabilities regardless of future interest rate movements.

The Company's investment policy is to invest predominantly in fixed maturity
securities, mortgage loans, and warehouse mortgage loans on a short-term basis
before selling the loans to investors in accordance with the requirements and
laws governing life insurance companies. Bonds owned by the Company amounted to
$21,848,000 as of March 31, 2003, as compared to $22,412,000 as of December 31,
2002. This represents 45% and 45% of the total investments as of March 31, 2003
and December 31, 2002, respectively. Generally, all bonds owned by the Company
are rated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Under this
rating system, there are nine categories used for rating bonds. At March 31,
2003, and at December 31, 2002, the Company had investments in bonds in rating
categories three through nine, which are considered non-investment grade, of
$485,000.

The Company has classified certain of its fixed income securities as available
for sale, with the remainder classified as held to maturity. However, in
accordance with Company policy, any such securities purchased in the future will
be classified as held to maturity. Business conditions, however, may develop in
the future which may indicate a need for a higher level of liquidity in the
investment portfolio. In that event the Company believes it could sell
short-term investment grade securities before liquidating higher-yielding
longer-term securities.

The Company is subject to risk based capital guidelines established by statutory
regulators requiring minimum capital levels based on the perceived risk of
assets, liabilities, disintermediation, and business risk. At March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, the Company exceeded the regulatory criteria.

Lapse rates measure the amount of insurance terminated during a particular
period. The Company's lapse rate for life insurance in 2002 was 11.9% as
compared to a rate of 13.8% for 2001. The 2003 lapse rate was approximately the
same as 2002.







At March 31, 2003, $8,792,082 of the Company's stockholders' equity represented
the statutory stockholders' equity. The Company cannot pay a dividend to its
parent company without the approval of insurance regulatory authorities.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

There have been no significant changes since the annual report Form 10-K filed
for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer (the
"Certifying Officers"), are responsible for establishing and maintaining
disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have
concluded (based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a
date within 90 days of the filing of this report) that the design and operation
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective. No
significant changes were made in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of
the evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Part II Other Information:

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

An action was brought against the Company in July 1999 by Dorothy Ruth Campbell
in the Circuit Court of Escambia County, Alabama. The action arose out of a
denial of coverage under a $10,000 insurance policy. The claims were for breach
of contract, bad faith and fraudulent misrepresentation. In the action, Campbell
sought compensatory and punitive damages plus interest. The case was dismissed
by order of summary judgment on January 21, 2003. The appeal time, if appeal is
taken, is 42 days.

An action was brought against Southern Security Life Insurance Company by
National Group Underwriters, Inc. ("NGU") in state court in the State of Texas.
The case was removed by the Company to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, with Civil No. 4:01-CV-403-E.
An Amended Complaint was filed on or about July 18, 2001. The Amended Complaint
asserts that NGU had a contract with the Company wherein NGU would submit
applications for certain policies of insurance to be issued by the Company. It
is alleged that disputes have arisen between NGU and the Company with regard to
the calculation and payment of certain advanced commissions as well as certain
production bonuses.

NGU alleged that it has been damaged far in excess of the $75,000 minimum
jurisdictional limits of this Court. NGU also seeks attorney's fees and costs as
well as prejudgment and postjudgment interest. A second amended complaint and a
third amended complaint that included a fraud claim were filed. A motion was
filed by the Company to dismiss the third amended complaint, including the fraud
claim. The court denied the motion. The Company has counterclaimed for what it
believes to be a debit balance owing to it pursuant to the relationship between
the parties with said counterclaim seeking a substantial amount from NGU (the
amount potentially subject to reduction as premiums are received). The Company
is also seeking to recover attorney's fees and




costs, as well as punitive damages on three of its causes of action. The change
of venue motion of the Company was denied. Certain discovery has taken place.
The federal case was dismissed per stipulation. The matter was refiled in Texas
state court, Tarrant County, Case No. 348 195490 02.

The claims of the respective parties are essentially the same as set forth
above, which claims include fraudulent inducement relative to entering into a
contract, fraud, breach of contract, breach of duty of good faith and fair
dealing, attorneys' fees and exemplary damages. Further discovery involving the
parties is anticipated. The Company intends to vigorously defend the matter as
well as prosecute its counterclaim.

An action was brought by Bernice Johnson against the Company in May, 2002 in the
Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, Civil Action No. CV02 2963. The face
amount of coverage under the policy is $15,000. The insured died in July 2001.
Claims are made for non-payment of the policy amount. The claims for relief
include misrepresentation, mental anguish and emotional distress, fraud,
intentional and bad faith non payment of the benefit, intentional and bad faith
failure to investigate the claim for benefits, reckless and negligent and wanton
action relative to misrepresentation and/or concealment of facts, negligence and
the wanton hiring, training and supervision of agents. Compensatory and punitive
damages are sought along with interest and costs. An answer has been filed by
the Company and discovery is in process. A trial has been set in June, 2003.

The Company is not a party to any other legal proceedings outside the ordinary
course of the Company's business or to any other legal proceedings, which, if
adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its
business.
