PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Hampshire Funding, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State
of New Hampshire on December 8, 1969, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Chubb Life Insurance Company of America ("Chubb Life"). The Company
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chubb Corporation on December
21, 1971, when Chubb Life sold all the outstanding stock of the
Company. On April 1, 1981, the Company's common stock was transferred
by contribution to Chubb Life Insurance Company of New Hampshire
("CLNH"). On July 1, 1991, CLNH and Chubb Life merged with and into The
Volunteer State Life Insurance Company, which on the same date
re-domesticated from Tennessee to New Hampshire and changed its name to
Chubb Life Insurance Company of America. As a result of said merger,
all of the common stock of the company was owned by Chubb Life.
Chubb Life and its subsidiaries were acquired by Jefferson-Pilot
Corporation from The Chubb Corporation, effective April 30, 1997. As a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb Life, the Company was included in the
acquisition. The fair market value of the Company was determined to be
its book value.
On December 30, 1997, the Company sold its investment in its
subsidiary, Hampshire Syndications, Inc., (wholly owned since October
9, 1986), to Jefferson-Pilot Investments, Inc. Hampshire Syndication's
net worth at December 30, 1997 was $239,811. The transaction was
accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control.
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company's outstanding stock was sold
to Jefferson-Pilot Corporation. As a result, the Company became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation.
The Company, in affiliation with Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance
Company (formerly Chubb Life), Jefferson Pilot Life America Insurance
Company (formerly Colonial) (collectively "Insurance Companies") and
Jefferson Pilot Securities Corporation (the "Broker-Dealer"), a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), has
primarily been engaged in the offering and administration of programs
which coordinate the acquisition of mutual fund shares and life or
health insurance (the "Programs"). The Programs were intended, in part,
to augment the sales activities of the Broker-Dealer and the Insurance
Companies.
Effective March 31, 1998, the Company discontinued offering its
Programs for sale. The Company will, however, continue to service all
existing Programs until their stated maturity or termination dates.
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Revenues, operating profit and loss, and identifiable assets for the
five years ended December 31, 2000, are included in Item 6 - Selected
Financial Data and Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.
(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company administers Programs which involve initial and periodic
cash purchases of mutual fund shares. Under the Programs, purchasers of
a Program ("Participants") make initial and periodic purchases of
mutual fund shares for cash with automatic reinvestment of all
distributions. Participants obtain insurance coverage through a series
of insurance premium loans offered by the Company. Loans to
Participants are secured by Participants' initial and periodic
purchases of mutual fund shares. The mutual fund shares are registered
in the Company's name as Custodian for Participants and are pledged
under a Receivables Purchase Agreement.
2 of 33
The objective of a Program is the utilization of the appreciation, if
any, in the value of the mutual fund shares and the reinvestment of
dividends or capital gains distributions thereon to aid in offsetting
the principal and accumulated interest on the loans.
As noted, the Company discontinued offering Programs for sale but will
continue to administer all programs until their stated maturity or
termination dates.
Historically, the Programs were offered for sale by those agents of the
Insurance Companies who qualify as registered representatives, through
the Broker-Dealer, under the regulations of the NASD.
Revenues derived from Participant Programs include gain on sales of
loans and servicing, interest income on securities and Program
participant fees. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
such revenues were as follows:
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Loan sales and servicing $ 688,573 $ 692,208 $ 581,545
Interest 387,455 331,077 339,802
Program participant fees 255,398 327,372 413,726
REGULATION
The Company filed its final Registration Statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 16, 1997. The Company is also subject to supervision by the
Commissioners of Securities of the jurisdictions in which the Company
has sold the Programs.
Although the Company no longer offers its Programs for sale, its
existing Programs are authorized to use insurance policies offered by
the Insurance Companies. Insurance available for purchase in connection
with a Program may vary from state to state, depending on whether
Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance Company (Jefferson Pilot Financial)
or Jefferson Pilot LifeAmerica Insurance Company (Jefferson Pilot
LifeAmerica) is licensed to sell insurance in a particular
jurisdiction, and whether a jurisdiction in which one of the Insurance
Companies is licensed has approved the sale of a particular insurance
product.
Historically, each Insurance Company offered several types of policies
within the Program. The Insurance Companies are subject to the
regulations of the insurance department of each state in which they are
licensed to do business. In addition, Jefferson Pilot Financial,
through Jefferson Pilot Financial Separate Account A, offer for sale a
variable universal life insurance policy, which is subject to
regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Policies,
including the variable universal life insurance product, issued under
the Program may not be identical in each state or jurisdiction.
Regulations that determine the types of policies and their provisions
may differ in each state. As a result, the Insurance Companies have
internal procedures designed to ensure that only approved policies are
issued in each state.
The insurance agents who sold the Company's Programs are subject to the
oversight and regulation of the insurance department of each
jurisdiction where they are licensed. In addition, only those agents
who are registered representatives of the Broker-Dealer sold Programs;
thus the insurance agents are also subject to supervision and
regulation of the NASD and securities department of each jurisdiction
where they are licensed.
DEPENDENCE UPON A SINGLE OR A FEW CUSTOMERS
Given the Company's decision to discontinue the sale of its programs,
the dependence upon a single or few customers is not applicable.
Historically, the Company was not dependent upon a single or few
customers.
COMPETITION
3 of 33
Competition is no longer a factor since the Company no longer offers
Programs for sale. Historically the Company faced limited competition
in the sale of Programs, as the number of companies offering plans
similar to the Programs was quite small. Historically, a large number
of companies offered programs combining the purchase of insurance and
mutual fund shares; however, in recent years the number of companies
has reduced dramatically.
EMPLOYEES
The Company has no paid employees. Jefferson Pilot Life Insurance
Company ("JP Life"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson-Pilot
Corporation, provides employee and office services, as well as certain
operating assets, to the Company and its affiliates. JP Life employs
all of the personnel who perform business functions for the Company. JP
Life believes that its relationship with employees is good.
(d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT
SALES
All sales and operations of the Company are conducted within the United
States.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
The Company does not own or lease any real property. The Company occupies a
portion of the home office of Jefferson Pilot Financial located at One Granite
Place, Concord, New Hampshire. The use by the Company of such facilities and the
equipment and furnishings owned by JP Life, Jefferson Pilot Financial, or any of
the other Insurance Companies is subject to a pro-rata allocation of expenses.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company may become involved from time to time with legal proceedings arising
out of the ordinary course of its business. For the year ended December 31,
2000, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.
ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted during the fourth quarter of 2000 to a vote of

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company administers investment programs (the "Programs") which coordinate
the acquisition of mutual fund shares and insurance over a period of ten years.
Under the Programs, Participants purchase life and health insurance from
affiliated Insurance Companies. and finance the premiums through a series of
loans secured by mutual fund shares. Upon issuance of a policy by an Insurance
Company, the Company makes a loan to the Participant in an amount equal to the
selected premium mode. As each premium becomes due, if not paid in cash, a new
loan equal to the next premium and administrative fee is made and added to the
Participant's account indebtedness ("Account Indebtedness"). Thus, interest, as
well as principal, is borrowed and mutual fund shares are pledged as collateral.
Each loan made by the Company must initially be secured by mutual fund shares
which have a value of at least 250% of the loan, except for the initial premium
loan of Programs using certain no-load funds, where the collateral requirement
is 180%. In addition, the aggregate value of all mutual fund shares pledged as
collateral must be at least 150% of the Participant's total Account
Indebtedness. If the value of the shares pledged to the Company declines below
130% of the Account Indebtedness, the Company will terminate the Programs and
liquidate shares sufficient to repay the indebtedness.
Effective March 31, 1998, the Company discontinued the sale of Programs. The
Company, however, will continue to make premium loans to current Participants
and administer all Programs until their stated maturity or termination dates.
On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement
(the Agreement) with Preferred Receivables Funding Corporation (PREFCO), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First National Bank of Chicago (the Bank).
The Agreement provides for the initial and periodic purchase of the Company's
collateral loans receivable by PREFCO or other investors (for which the Bank
serves as agent). On June 26, 2000, the Agreement was amended to extend the
termination date to July 26, 2000. On July 26, 2000 the Agreement was amended to
extend the termination date to July 25, 2001 and to decrease PREFCOs commitment
from $55,000,000 to $50,000,000. The Company anticipates the termination date
will be extended under the provisions of the Agreement. PREFCO finances
purchases of the Company's collateral loans receivables through the issuance of
commercial paper.
As of December 31, 2000, the Company had sold aggregate loans of $50,942,576 and
has retained a subordinated interest and servicing rights in the assets
transferred aggregating $6,500,825. The cash flows related to the repayment of
loans is first used to satisfy all principal and variable interest rate
obligations due to PREFCO, investors or the Bank. The retained interest
represents the fair value of the Company's future cash flows and obligations
that it will receive after all investor obligations are met. The fair value of
the Company's retained interest and servicing rights was $5,509,426, $4,301,000,
and $2,789,198 at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 respectively.
The Company is responsible for servicing, managing and collecting all
receivables and loan repayments, monitoring the underlying collateral and
reporting all activity to the Bank for which it receives an annual service fee
(collected monthly in arrears) calculated as 2% of outstanding receivables. The
Company received $954,745, $1,004,364 and $1,028,796 in service fees during
2000, 1999 and 1998.
As servicing agent for the loans sold, the Company collected loan prepayments of
$9,716,659 during 2000 and $11,182,062 in 1999, which were paid to PREFCO (one
month in arrears) to satisfy principal and variable interest obligation due. The
Company originated new loans of $6,802,549 during 2000, and $8,506,006 in 1999,
which were sold to PREFCO.
The Agreement includes a Performance Guarantee by Jefferson-Pilot Corporation
that the Company will service the receivables sold and administer all aspects of
the Programs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The
Performance Guarantee contains restrictions on the debt of the Guarantor and the
collateral value monitored by the Company.
6 of 33
Proceeds from the original sale of the receivables were used by the Company to
extinguish its outstanding debt under its Revolving Credit Agreement with
SunTrust Bank of Atlanta, Georgia. Following the repayment of all principal and
interest, on December 31, 1997 the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement with
SunTrust was terminated.
From October 23, 1996 through December 30, 1997 the Company's funds for
financing the Programs were obtained through this Revolving Credit Agreement
with SunTrust Bank of Atlanta, Georgia ("SunTrust"). The Company entered into
this Revolving Credit Agreement on October 23, 1996 which provided for advances
up to $60,000,000. The Revolving Credit Agreement with SunTrust replaced the
Company's loan agreements with its affiliates. At December 31, 1997 the Company
had no loans outstanding to affiliates.
During 1998, the Company entered into an intercompany loan agreement with
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation whereby it may borrow funds for working capital
needs at short-term interest rates. At December 31, 2000 the company had
borrowed $438,261 compared to $1,200,000 at December 31, 1999.
The continuance of the Program is dependent upon the Company's ability to
arrange for the sale of collateral notes receivable or provide for the financing
of insurance premiums for Participants. Prior to the Company's Agreement with
PREFCO, such financing was provided by its Revolving Credit Agreement with
SunTrust and affiliated loan agreements. The Company expects that it will be
able to continue to sell its collateral notes receivables or arrange for other
financing for the foreseeable future.
If the Company is unable to sell its collateral notes receivable or borrow funds
in the future for the purpose of financing loans to Participants for the payment
of insurance premiums, the Programs may be subject to termination.
If the Company subsequently defaults on its Agreement with PREFCO for which the
Participant's mutual fund shares have been pledged as security, the mutual fund
shares may be redeemed by PREFCO (or its agent) and the Programs will be
terminated on their renewal dates.
The Company's liabilities include amounts due to affiliates for expense
reimbursements to JP Life and other working capital needs.
JP Life, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation, provides
employee services and office facilities to the Company and its affiliates under
a Service Agreement. The Company pays JP Life a monthly fee in accordance with
mutually agreed upon cost allocation methods which the Companies believe reflect
a proportional allocation of common expenses and are commensurate for the
performance of the applicable duties.
Working capital in 2000, 1999, and 1999 was provided by servicing fees from
collateral loans sold, loans from Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and interest
earned on investments.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed certain of its assumptions
supporting the valuation of its interests retained from loan sales. The Company
has increased its estimate of early terminations from 15% to 26% to better
reflect the Company's actual experience. In addition, the Company has reduced
the discount rate used to value its retained interests from 17% to 15%, which
Management believes better reflects the risks associated with the securitized
assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company concluded the year ended December 31, 2000 with net income of
$714,883 as compared to net income of $723,044 in 1999 and $780,583 in 1998.
Total revenues through December 31, 2000 were $1,331,426 versus $1,350,657 in
1999 and $1,335,073 in 1998. The Company's revenues are derived from program
fees, income on its retained interest in the loans sold to investors, and
realized gains. Although the Company's retained interest and income on its
retained interest has grown over the last three years, this increase has been
offset by a decline in realized gains in connection with the sale of loans.
Gains (or losses) for each sale of receivables are determined by allocated the
carrying value of the receivables sold between the portion sold and the interest
retained based on their relative fair value. The Company
7 of 33
estimates the fair value of its retained interest based on the present value of
future cash flows expected from the sold receivables.
Interest expense was $72,146, $58,159 and $19,969 for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The average interest rates of 6.26%,
5.11% and 5.47% were paid on average outstanding loans due to affiliates of
$1,070,817, $1,200,000, $500,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The Company receives fee income for continuing to service sold receivables. The
Company capitalizes the present value of expected servicing fee income in excess
of the related cost of servicing over the estimated life of the sold
receivables.
Program fees include placement, administrative and termination fees as well as
charges for special services. Program fees continue to decline as programs
terminate and mature. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the
number of Programs administered by the Company were 3,199, 3,952 and 4,819,
respectively.
In the future, the Company may realize a gain or loss on the securitization of
future collateral notes receivable which may impact future earnings.

HAMPSHIRE FUNDING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2000
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Hampshire Funding, Inc. (the Company), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation, administers programs that coordinate the
acquisition of mutual fund shares and insurance (Programs). Under the Programs,
insurance premiums are paid by Participants through a series of loans from the
Company and secured by Participant's ownership of mutual fund shares. The
objective of a Program is the utilization of the appreciation, if any, in the
value of the mutual fund shares and the reinvestment of dividends or capital
gain distributions thereon to aid in offsetting the principal and accumulated
interest on the loans. All Programs are ten years in length and no payments are
due until Programs are terminated or mature.
Effective March 31, 1998 the Company discontinued the sale of these Programs.
The Company continues, however, to extend premium loans to current Participants
and administer Programs until their stated maturity or termination date.
Affiliates of the Company include Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance Company
(Jefferson Pilot Financial) and Jefferson Pilot Life America Insurance Company.
Other affiliates of the Company include Jefferson Pilot Investment Advisory
Corporation, and Jefferson Pilot Securities Corporation, are also 100% owned by
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation.
The Company administers Programs whereby Participants obtain life insurance
coverage solely from Jefferson Pilot Financial and Jefferson Pilot LifeAmerica.
Under the Programs, insurance premiums are paid by Participants through a series
of loans from the Company. Loans to Participants are secured by Participant's
ownership in mutual fund shares. Loans to Participants were partially funded
with proceeds from loan agreements with affiliates during 1996.
The fair value of a Participant's pledged mutual fund shares must exceed 150% of
the total loan balance plus accrued interest (Participant's Total Account
Indebtedness). If the value of the shares pledged declines below 130% of the
Participant's Total Account Indebtedness, the Company will terminate the Program
and liquidate shares sufficient to repay the Indebtedness.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
PROGRAM LOAN SALES
When the Company sells program loans, it retains interest-only strips, servicing
rights and 5% of each loan sold, all of which are retained interests in the
securitized receivables. Gain or loss on sale of the receivables depends in part
on the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the
transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on
their relative fair value at the date of transfer. However, quotes are generally
not available for
14 of 33
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
retained interest, so the Company generally estimates fair value based on the
present value of future expected cash flows estimated using management's best
estimates of the key assumptions - termination and discount rates commensurate
with the risks involved.
SERVICING ASSET
The Company receives fee income for continuing to service sold receivables equal
to 2% of outstanding receivables. The Company capitalizes the present value of
expected servicing fee income in excess of the related cost of servicing over
the estimated life of the sold receivables (net servicing income). To the extent
that net servicing income varies from management's estimates, the servicing
asset may amortize faster or slower than anticipated. The Company assesses the
carrying value of its servicing asset annually using anticipated future cash
flows associated with the asset. The asset will be written-down to the extent
that estimated fair value is less than carrying value at the balance sheet date.
No adjustment is recorded for fair values which exceed carrying values at the
balance sheet date.
Subsequent to initial recognition, capitalized servicing rights are carried at
the lower of amortized initial fair value or current fair value, as the Company
is required to assess the carrying value only for impairment or additional
obligation.
No adjustment for impairment or additional obligation with respect to
capitalized servicing rights has been recorded by the Company.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUES
Interest on assets retained from loan sales and administrative fees charged to
Participants for establishing and maintaining Programs are recognized as revenue
when earned.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit at financial institutions and
short-term corporate notes carried at cost, which approximates market value.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in the financial statements for prior years have been
reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
ACTIVITIES, as amended, which is required to be adopted in years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, the
adoption of the new Statement will not have a significant effect on earnings
or the financial position of the Company.
In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 140, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS
AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES, that
replace, in its entirety, FASB Statement No. 125. Although Statement 140 has
changed many of the rules regarding securitizations, it continues to require an
entity to recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the
liabilities it has incurred and to derecognize financial assets when control has
been surrendered in accordance with the criteria provided in the Statement. As
required the Company will apply the new rules prospectively to transactions
beginning in the second quarter of 2001. Based on current circumstances, the
Company believes the application of the new rules will not have a material
impact on its financial statements.
15 of 33
2. SALE OF COLLATERAL NOTES RECEIVABLE PORTFOLIO
On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement
(the Agreement) with Preferred Receivables Funding Corporation (PREFCO), wholly
owned subsidiary of First National Bank of Chicago (the Bank).
The Agreement provides for the initial and periodic purchase of the Company's
collateral loans receivable by PREFCO or other investors (for which the Bank
serves as agent). On June 26, 2000, the Agreement was amended to extend the
termination date to July 26, 2000. On July 26, 2000, the Agreement was amended
to extend the termination date to July 25, 2001 and decrease PREFCOs commitment
from $55,000,000 to $50,000,000. The Company anticipates the termination date
will be extended under the provisions of the Agreement. PREFCO finances
purchases of the Company's collateral loans receivables through the issuance of
commercial paper.
During 2000, the Company sold program loans in securitization transactions, and
in each case the Company retained servicing responsibilities and subordinated
interests. The Company receives annual servicing fees of 2 percent of the
outstanding balance and rights to future cash flows arising after the purchaser
of the loans has received the return for which they contracted. The investor in
the loans has no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors
to pay when due. The Company's retained interests are subordinate to the
investor's interests. Their value is subject to credit and prepayment risks on
the transferred financial assets, although the loans are fully secured by shares
in mutual funds. During 2000, the Company used termination and discount rates of
26% and 15% respectively, to measure the retained interests on the dates the
loans were sold.
At December 31, 2000, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the
current fair value of residual cash flows to immediate adverse changes in those
assumptions are as follows:
Carrying Amount/fair value of retained interests $ 6,269,671
Weighted-average life 3.5 years
TERMINATION RATE ASSUMPTION (ANNUAL) 26%
Rate increases to 30% $ 79,391
Rate increases to 35% $ 173,545
RESIDUAL CASH FLOWS DISCOUNT RATE (ANNUAL) 15%
Rate increases to 17% $ (512,282)
Rate increases to 19% $ (979,387)
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the
figures indicate, changes in fair value based upon the varying of assumptions
generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in
assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table,
the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the
retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption, in
reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example,
increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments), which might
magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance of loans sold by the Company under
the Agreement was $50,942,576 compared to $54,360,208 in 1999. The Company
received gross servicing income of $954,745, $1,004,364 and $1,028,796 for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

3. INTEREST RETAINED FROM RECEIVABLE SALES, NET
The amortized cost and gross unrealized gains and losses and estimated fair
value of retained interests in loan sales at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are
shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities as the
Programs underlying the securities may be terminated prior to contractual
maturity.

-------------------- --------------------- -------------------- --------------------
$ 4,932,293 $ 314,570 $ (15,453) $ 5,231,410
==================== ===================== ==================== ====================
Residual principal represents a 5% undivided interest in the receivables and
capitalized interest sold by the Company at the time of each sale. As the sold
principal is fully amortized prior to amortization of the retained principal,
the Company's undivided interest may not represent 5% of the total outstanding
receivables subsequent to the date of each sale.
Interest-only strip receivables represent the Company's right to interest in
excess of the sum paid to the purchaser of the loans.
All of the interests retained are subordinated to the payment of principal and
permitted interest to the bank-sponsored commercial paper conduit, and are
initially recorded at their respective fair values. As permitted by the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, ACCOUNTING
FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, the Company classifies
interests retained as available-for-sale securities. As a result, unrealized
gain and unrealized losses not deemed to be other-than-temporary are included in
comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholder's equity.

4. INCOME TAXES
The operations of the Company are included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation. Federal income tax is allocated by
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation as if the Company filed a separate income tax
return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected
future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax rates
and other provisions of tax law.
Significant components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31,
were as follows:
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Current:
Federal $ 443,444 $ 389,331 $ 421,421

Total deferred (44,335) 0 0

Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following at December 31:
2000 1999
---- ----
Impact of loan sales $ 141,528 $ 97,193
Unrealized loss on securities available for sale 36,674 160,050
-------------------------------------

=====================================
Federal income taxes have been provided at the statutory rate of 35%, less the
benefit for the deduction of state income taxes.
The deferred assets are included in due to affiliates in the statement of
financial condition.
5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
In 1998, the Company entered into an intercompany loan agreement with
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation whereby the Company may borrow funds for working
capital needs at short-term interest rates. At December 31, 2000, the Company
had borrowed $438,261 which is included in amount due to parent.
The Programs, and most mutual fund shares offered in conjunction with the
Programs, are sold through Jefferson Pilot Securities, a registered
broker-dealer.
18 of 33
5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)
Substantially all general and administrative expenses are allocated to the
Company by JP Life in accordance with mutually agreed upon cost allocation
methods that the Company and JP Life believe reflect a proportional allocation
of common expenses and which are commensurate for the performance of the
applicable duties. The Company paid allocated expenses of $396,113, $621,403 and
$692,068 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
These expenses are included in the calculation of the expected cash flows for
purposes of determining income related to programs sales, therefore are not
shown as expenses in the statements of income.
