PART I
Item 1 - Description of Business
- --------------------------------
(a) 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 ("CLA"). The Company became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of The Chubb Corporation on December 21, 1971, when CLA
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
CLA 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 (the
"Parent Corporation"). As a result of said merger, all of the common
stock of the company is owned by the Parent Corporation. In addition,
the Company owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Hampshire
Syndications, Inc., incorporated in New Hampshire on October 9, 1986.
The Company, in affiliation with the Parent Corporation, The Colonial Life
Insurance Company of America ("Colonial"), Chubb Sovereign Life Insurance
Company ("Chubb Sovereign") (collectively "Insurance Companies") and Chubb
Securities Corporation (the "Broker-Dealer"), a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), is primarily 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 are intended, in part, to augment the sales
activities of the Broker-Dealer and the Insurance Companies.
(b) Revenues, operating profit and loss, and identifiable assets for the three
years ended December 31, 1994, are included in Item 6 - Selected Financial
Data and Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
(c) The Company offers and 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.
The objective of a Program is the utilization of the appreciation, if any,
in the value of the mutual fund shares and any dividends or capital gains
distributions thereon to aid in offsetting the principal and accumulated
interest on the loans.
The Programs are 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.
2 of 41
The Company is authorized to offer Programs using 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 the Parent Corporation, Colonial or Chubb Sovereign 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.
Each Insurance Company offers 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, the Parent Corporation, through Chubb Separate
Account A, offers 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 Company has filed a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
is also subject to supervision by the Commissioners of Securities of the
jurisdictions in which the Company is authorized to offer the Programs for
sale.
The insurance agents who sell the 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 may sell 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.
The Company is not dependent upon a single or a few customers. The loss of
one or a few customers would not have a material adverse effect on the
business of the Company.
The Company faces limited competition in the sale of Programs, as the
number of companies offering plans similar to the Programs is 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.
The business of the Insurance Companies is highly competitive. The
Insurance Companies compete on a nationwide basis with a large number of
insurance companies, and also compete with other financial service
companies in the area of equities, retirement planning and financial
planning. Finally, there has been a recent trend of greater involvement by
banks and thrifts in the insurance industry. Competition is based upon
cost of insurance, client service, performance of the cash value component
of whole life insurance, and agent loyalty to a company.
3 of 41
The Company has no paid employees. Chubb America Service Corporation (the
"Service Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Corporation,
is a management service company organized and operated to provide employee
and office services, as well as certain operating assets, to the Company
and its affiliates. The Service Company employs all of the personnel who
perform business functions for the Company. The Service Company believes
that its relationship with employees is good.
(d) Not applicable
Item 2 - Properties
- -------------------
The Company does not own or lease any real property. The Company occupies a
portion of the home office of the Parent Corporation located at One Granite
Place, Concord, New Hampshire. The use by the Company of such facilities and
the equipment and furnishings owned by the Service Company, the Parent
Corporation, 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,
1994, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings.

___________________________
Affiliated life insurance companies paid the Company annual franchise fees in
previous years as compensation for issuing and servicing insurance policies
under the programs. It was intended that such compensation would result in the
Company having neither a significant profit or loss from its operations. In
March 1990, franchise agreements were entered into between the Company and
certain of the Insurance Companies. Franchise fees paid to the Company were
$300,000 in 1990. No franchise fees were received in 1991, 1992, 1993, or 1994.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company offers investment programs (the "Programs") which coordinate the
acquisition of mutual fund shares and insurance over a period of time, usually
ten years. Under the Programs, purchasers of the program ("Participants")
purchase life and health insurance from affiliated insurance companies (the
"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 1800%. 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 Company's indebtedness, the Company will terminate the Programs and
liquidate shares sufficient to repay the indebtedness.
Collateral loans receivable from Participants were $40,805,159 at December 31,
1994. Annual amounts due to the Company were as follows:
1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000-2004
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------
Collateral loans $2.4 $2.8 $3.0 $2.7 $3.3 $26.6
receivable (in millions)
The Company's funds for financing the Programs are currently obtained through
Loan Agreements with its affiliates, The Colonial Life Insurance Company of
America ("Colonial") and Chubb Life Insurance Company of America ("Chubb Life").
The Loan Agreements provide for revolving credit arrangements under which
advances will be made to the Company in amounts not to exceed $29,000,000 from
Colonial and $20,000,000 from Chubb Life. The advances are currently short term
in nature, as none of the loans outstanding as of December 31, 1994 (or during
1994) exceeded 365 days to maturity. The advances are made at short-term
lending rates agreed upon by the Company and its lenders and are subject to
change in accordance with the Loan Agreements and market conditions. However,
the interest rate may not exceed the prime interest rate in effect in New York
City plus 2.5%. The average lending rate on these loans at December 31, 1994
was 4.60% and ranged from 3.25% to 8.85% during the year.
The continuance of the Program is dependent upon the Company's ability to
provide, or arrange for the financing of insurance premiums for Participants.
Since 1989, such financing has been available from its affiliates, Colonial and
Chubb Life. The Company expects that it will be able to obtain this financing
for the foreseeable future.
6 of 41
The Company may also borrow funds from non-affiliated companies. There is no
assurance that the Company may obtain financing from non-affiliated companies
upon terms, conditions and rates as favorable as those from affiliated
companies. If the Company is unable to borrow funds in the future or continue
to borrow funds under its Loan Agreements for the purpose of financing loans to
Participants for the payment of insurance premiums, it may not be able to
continue the sale of the Programs.
Although the Company's present financing arrangements with its lenders do not
include the assignment of a Participant's mutual fund shares to the lender as
security, the Loan Agreements do authorize the Company to assign a Participant's
mutual fund shares to any lender as collateral security for the Company's
indebtedness pursuant to any financing arrangements. If any such assignment
takes place and the Company subsequently defaults on an obligation for which the
participant's mutual fund shares have been pledged as security, the mutual fund
shares may be redeemed by the lender to whom the obligation is owed. A lender
may cease to provide financing if the Company is in default under its Loan
Agreements. In this case, Programs will be terminated on their renewal dates.
The amount of funds borrowed under the Agreements at December 31, 1994 were
$39,500,000 compared to $31,300,000 at December 31, 1993. Funds borrowed at
December 31, 1994 represent $26,000,000 from Colonial and $13,500,000 from Chubb
Life. At December 31, 1993 funds borrowed represented $26,000,000 from Colonial
and $5,300,000 from Chubb Life. The increase in amounts borrowed by the Company
year to year was used to fund increased sales of Programs and for other working
capital needs.
In addition to loans payable, the Company has other short-term amounts due to
affiliates related to insurance premium payments and expense reimbursements to
Chubb America Service Corporation ("Service Company"). The Company has an
arrangement with affiliated Insurance Companies whereby the Company makes
monthly payments in arrears for premiums due. Reimbursements to the Service
Company are also made one month in arrears and are included in amounts due to
affiliates.
The Service Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent Corporation, is a
management service company which provides employee services and office
facilities to the Company and its affiliates under a Service Agreement. The
Company pays the Service Company 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 1994 and 1993 was provided by Participants' loan repayments,
administrative fees for the placement and maintenance of Programs and interest
earned on investments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company concluded the year ended December 31, 1994 with net operating income
of $458,294 as compared to net operating income of $514,505 in 1993, and
$330,545 in 1992.
Total revenues through December 31, 1994 were $3,590,273 versus $3,004,114 in
1993, and $2,699,890 in 1992. These revenues include interest on collateral
loans receivable, program fees, interest on investments and partnership income.
The largest source of revenue was represented by interest on collateral loans
receivable.
The growth in collateral loan interest resulted from the increase in collateral
loans receivable year to year. Collateral loans receivable as of December 31,
1994 were $40,805,159 as compared to $33,348,372 in 1993, and $27,559,447 in
1992. Comparatively, collateral loan interest was $3,094,809, $2,523,551 and
$2,214,579 for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The average
interest rate charged to each Participant's outstanding loan balance was 8.65%,
8.50% and 9.14% for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The Company's collateral loans receivable, collateral loan interest and average
interest rate charged to each Participant's loan balance for the three years
ended December 31 are summarized as follows:
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Collateral loans receivable $40,805,159 $33,348,372 $27,559,447
Collateral loan interest $ 3,094,809 $ 2,523,551 $ 2,214,579
Average Participant interest rate 8.65% 8.50% 9.14%
8 of 41
Interest expense on the Loan Agreements increased in 1994 as compared to 1993
due to increases in interest rates and amounts borrowed by the Company.
Interest expense decreased, however, in 1993 compared to 1992 due to declining
interest rates during 1993 even though the Company borrowed additional amounts
during that year. The Company's outstanding loans payable, interest expense and
average cost of borrowings for the three years ended December 31 are summarized
as follows:
1994 1993 1992
---- ---- ----
Loans payable $38,889,535 $30,924,833 $25,382,406
Interest expense $ 1,516,229 $ 973,490 $ 1,013,582
Average loan interest rate 4.60% 3.50% 4.44%
The Company's ability to achieve and maintain a spread between its cost of funds
necessary to finance premium loans and the lending rate charged to Program
Participants may impact its future operating results. The interest rate spread
is intended to provide sufficient revenue to offset the Company's general and
administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses, arising from
normal operating activities through December 31, 1994, were $1,308,976 as
compared to $1,239,079 in 1993, and $1,184,881 in 1992.
The Company may increase the interest rate charged to Participants to a maximum
of the prime interest rate plus 3% as its cost of borrowing increases. If the
Company's cost of borrowing were to rise significantly above the prime interest
rate, its ability to maintain an adequate interest rate spread would be
difficult and future earnings could be adversely impacted.
Program fees increased year to year as the number of programs administered by
the Company have grown. Program fees include placement, administrative and
termination fees as well as charges for special services. For the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 the number of programs administered by the
Company were 6,662, 6,328 and 5,782, respectively.
Investment income earned by the Company increased in 1994 as compared to 1993
due to changes in the level of cash and investments held year to year.
The Company has franchise agreements with Chubb Life which provide that the
Company will be paid amounts required for its continued operations as
compensation for its services in providing and making the Programs available for
use. The Company did not receive any franchise fees in 1994, 1993 and 1992 and
does not expect to receive any fees in 1995.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Hampshire Funding, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hampshire
Funding, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hampshire Funding,
Inc. and Subsidiary at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 1994, the Company changed
its method of accounting for postemployment benefits, and in 1993, the Company
changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions, and income taxes.

Hampshire Funding, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Hampshire Funding, Inc. (Hampshire) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hampshire
Syndications, Inc. Hampshire is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb Life
Insurance Company of America (Chubb Life). Affiliates of Chubb Life include The
Colonial Life Insurance Company of America (Colonial), Chubb Sovereign Life
Insurance Company (Chubb Sovereign), Chubb America Service Corporation (CASC),
Chubb Investment Advisory Corporation and Chubb Securities Corporation (Chubb
Securities), which are all 100% owned by Chubb Life. Chubb Life is 100% owned
by The Chubb Corporation (Chubb).
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Hampshire offers and administers Programs whereby Participants obtain life
insurance coverage from Chubb Life, Colonial and Chubb Sovereign. Under the
Programs, insurance premiums are paid by Participants through a series of loans
from Hampshire which are recorded as "collateral notes receivable." Loans to
the Participants are secured by Participants' ownership in shares of regulated
investment companies. The loans to Participants are funded substantially with
the proceeds from loan arrangements with Colonial and Chubb Life (see Note 6).
Chubb Securities is a registered broker-dealer that buys and sells the shares
for Participants. The fair value of a Participant's secured investment company
shares must exceed 150% of the total loan balance plus accrued interest
(Participant's Total Account Indebtedness). If the value of the shares pledged
as collateral to Hampshire declines below 130% of the Participant's Total
Account Indebtedness, Hampshire will terminate the Program and liquidate shares
sufficient to repay the indebtedness. All Programs are ten years in length.
Upon Program conclusion, loan balances and accrued interest become due.
Collateral loans receivable from Participants were $40,805,159 at December 31,
1994. Annual amounts due to the Company were as follows:
1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000-2004
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------
Collateral loans receivable $2.4 $2.8 $3.0 $2.7 $3.3 $26.6
(in millions)

Hampshire Funding, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)
Substantially all general and administrative expenses are allocated to Hampshire
by CASC in accordance with mutually agreed upon cost allocation methods which
Hampshire and CASC believe reflect a proportional allocation of common expenses
which are commensurate for the performance of the applicable duties.
RECOGNITION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES
Interest on collateral notes receivable and administrative fees charged to
Participants for establishing and maintaining Programs are recognized as revenue
when earned. Partnership syndication fees represent fees earned by Hampshire
Syndications, Inc. from its limited partnership investment. No such fees were
earned in 1994 or 1993.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include cash invested in
securities purchased under repurchase agreements and short-term corporate notes,
all of which have remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of
purchase.
At December 31, 1994, Hampshire entered into a reverse repurchase agreement with
the Bank of New Hampshire (Bank) in the amount of $158,000. The agreement
matures on January 31, 1995. This reverse repurchase agreement is included in
cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Hampshire
requires that the market value of the underlying securities provided as
collateral for repurchase agreements be a minimum of 100% of their contractual
resale price to the Bank.
Short-term corporate notes are carried at cost which approximates market value.
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Effective January 1, 1994, Chubb Life and Hampshire adopted SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 requires that
the expected cost of providing postemployment benefits, principally severance,
disability and unemployment benefits, to former or inactive employees, their
beneficiaries and covered dependents be accrued during the years that the
employees render the necessary service. Prior to 1994, the pay as you go, or
cash method was used to recognize the cost of these benefits. The cumulative
effect of this change as of January 1, 1994 was immaterial to Hampshire.
Hampshire's allocated portion of such 1994 costs was $6,280, which has been
included in General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying financial
statements.
16 of 41
Hampshire Funding, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
Effective January 1, 1993, Chubb Life and Hampshire adopted SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." SFAS
No. 106 requires that the expected cost of providing postretirement benefits,
principally health care and life insurance, to employees, their beneficiaries
and covered dependents be accrued during the years that the employees render the
necessary service. Prior to 1993, the pay-as-you-go, or cash method was used to
recognize the cost of these benefits. The cumulative effect of this change as
of January 1, 1993 was immaterial to Hampshire. Hampshire's allocated portion
of such costs was $24,631 and $18,530 in 1994 and 1993, respectively, which has
been included in General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying
financial statements.
Chubb Life and Hampshire also adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," as of January 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 prescribes an asset and liability
method of accounting for income taxes, rather than the deferred method
previously used. The objective of the asset and liability method is to
recognize an asset or liability for the expected future tax effects attributable
to differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities, based on the enacted tax rates and other provisions of tax law.
The cumulative effect of such change as of January 1, 1993 was immaterial to
Hampshire. Of the $78,043 federal income taxes recoverable at December 31,
1994, $10,819 represents a deferred tax asset related to the postretirement
benefits and postemployment benefits expense of $30,911 recorded in 1994. The
deferred tax asset at December 31, 1993 was $6,485, which also related to
postretirement benefits.
3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The operations of Hampshire are included in the consolidated federal income tax
return of Chubb. Federal income tax is allocated by Chubb Life as if Hampshire
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.
Federal income taxes have been provided at the statutory rate of 35% in 1994 and
1993 and 34% in 1992.
Hampshire made income tax payments to Chubb of $336,577, $280,313 and $189,391
in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
4. RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Hampshire participates in the Pension Plan for the Employees of Chubb Life and
Participating Affiliates, a defined benefit plan, which covers substantially all
of its employees. Accumulated plan benefits, plan net assets and net periodic
pension costs by component for Hampshire is not determinable. Costs allocated
by Chubb Life to Hampshire during 1994 relative to the Pension Plan were
$24,269.
Certain health and life insurance benefits for all eligible retired employees
are provided by Chubb Life. Benefits are paid as covered expenses are incurred.
Health care coverage is contributory. Retiree contributions vary based upon a
retiree's age, type of coverage and years of service with Hampshire. Life
insurance is noncontributory. The expected cost of providing these
postretirement benefits to employees and their beneficiaries and covered
dependents are being accrued during the years that the employees render the
necessary service.
5. OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLANS
As a subsidiary of Chubb, Hampshire and its employees are eligible to
participate in the following option and incentive plans:
The Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is funded through semi-annual
contributions in amounts determined at the discretion of Chubb's Boards of
Directors. A portion of Chubb common stock is allocated to eligible
employees as contributions are made by Chubb.
The Capital Accumulation Plan, a savings plan, is funded by employee
contributions. Hampshire makes a matching contribution equal to 100% of each
eligible employee's pre-tax elective contributions, up to 4% of the
employee's compensation. Contributions are invested at the election of the
employee in Chubb's common stock or in various other investment funds.
Hampshire's proportionate share of costs related to these option and incentive
plans was $39,394 for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Total costs allocated by Chubb Life to Hampshire, during the year presented
relative to the above benefits, have been included in General and Administrative
expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Amounts allocated to
Hampshire in years prior to 1994 relative to the above benefit plans were
immaterial.

Hampshire Funding, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
6. LOAN AGREEMENT
Since 1989, Hampshire's funds for financing premium loans have been obtained
through loan agreements with affiliates. Hampshire has a loan agreement with
Colonial providing for a $29,000,000 revolving line of credit. The interest
rate is variable and is based on Colonial's cost of short-term funds. The range
of interest rates at December 31, 1994 on this loan were from 4.95% to 6.10%.
At December 31, 1994, Hampshire had borrowed $26,000,000 under the agreement
with Colonial. On September 29, 1994, Hampshire amended its loan agreement with
Chubb Life to provide for a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit, representing
an increase of $10 million from the previous loan agreement. The interest
accrues at a rate not to exceed prime plus 250 basis points per annum.
Presently, interest is being charged to Hampshire at current short term rates
(6.53% at December 31, 1994) on the first $10 million and at the rate which
Hampshire charges their clients (8.85%) on any loan balance over $10 million.
At December 31, 1994, Hampshire had borrowed $13.5 million under this agreement
with Chubb Life. The balance on the loan was increased to $14 million
subsequent to December 31, 1994. Hampshire expects that it will be able to
obtain this financing for the foreseeable future.
Interest paid, including prepayments, on the loan agreements was $1,751,527,
$1,131,064 and $944,764 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

AGENCY AGREEMENT AND
[LOGO OF HAMPSHIRE FUNDING, INC. APPEARS HERE] LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
________________________________________________________________________________
Hampshire Funding, Inc., One Granite Place, P.O. Box 2005, Concord, NH 03302
Subject to the agreement of Hampshire Funding, Inc. (the"Company")
I (We) (the "Participant(s)") hereby establish a Hampshire Funding, Inc.
Program for the Acquisition of Mutual Fund Shares and Insurance (the
"Program") which Program is described in the Company's Prospectus (the
"Prospectus"). This Agency Agreement and Limited Power of Attorney
(the"Agreement") shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Hampshire. Singular nouns and pronouns shall be
read in the plural, where applicable.
I hereby appoint the Company as my Agent and attorney-in-fact and assign and
transfer to the Company as my Agent all my interest in my investment
account(s) and in any future additions thereto which are or will be held
pursuant to my Program (hereinafter referred to as the "Account") with
open-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (hereinafter referred to as the"Fund") and all shares of the Fund
(hereinafter referred to as the "Shares"), except the right to vote as a
shareholder in all matters relating to the Fund. The Account and Shares
shall be held in the Company's name or in that of its nominee as custodian
for my Account, which shall be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
and the current Prospectus.
1. I hereby authorize the Company to make advances on my behalf to pay
premiums as they become due or excess premiums as agreed to by the Company,
including renewal premiums, on any insurance policy available through the
Program for which I have instructed the Company to pay the premiums, or on any
policies purchased to replace said policies.
This Agreement shall evidence my obligation to repay the advances as
described herein. I agree to pay the Company the amount of all such
advances, including interest at a per annum rate determined by the company,
which may change at any time during the Program but which at no time shall be
less than the nominal interest rate of 6% per annum nor more than 3
percentage points above the prime or base rate as quoted in the Wall Street
Journal; nor more than the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of
New Hampshire, which laws shall govern all matters of interest and charges
hereunder. Any change in the interest rate made by the Company will become
effective immediately without prior notice to the Participants. Interest
will be compounded monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually, which shall
be determined by the frequency of the premium advances, i.e. the premium
payment mode for the policy. The aggregate advances plus accrued interest is
hereinafter referred to as the "Account Indebtedness". I hereby pledge with
and authorize the Company to hold as custodian and pledge my Shares as
collateral security for the payment of the Account Indebtedness in accordance
with the terms herein and those of the current Prospectus. I understand and
agree that if I do not pay the accrued interest upon its due date, the due
date of the subsequent premium, the principal amount of my Account
Indebtedness shall be increased by the amount of all accrued interest, the
intent being that interest not paid when due shall be deemed thereafter to be
principal and shall be treated in the same manner as advances made for
insurance premiums.
2. I authorize the Company as my attorney-in-fact to accept on my behalf and
acknowledge the receipt of disclosure statements for the extension of credit
under the applicable regulations of the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, if any,
for subsequent delivery to me.
3. I further hereby authorize the Company to assign and transfer my Account
indebtedness, and any Shares pledged to the Company as required to secure such
Account Indebtedness as collateral security for the Company's indebtedness
pursuant to any financing arrangements with certain lenders, but only to the
extent of the Account Indebtedness plus the current premium or premiums of the
policies listed above. Such Account Indebtedness and the Shares pledged to
secure the Company's Indebtedness shall not exceed my Account Indebtedness and
the Shares pledged to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Prospectus. I further understand that in the event any of my pledged Shares are
sold or redeemed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Prospectus, or the
Company's financing arrangements, my financial responsibility will be limited by
the amount of my Account Indebtedness to the Company; that the proceeds of the
sale or redemption of any Shares in excess of my Account Indebtedness will be
paid to me as though I specifically requested withdrawal of the same, unless
investment thereof is directed by me in writing, via mail or facsimile, in which
event I understand: (i) regular investment charges, if any, will be charged with
respect to any purchase of additional Shares; (ii) the number of Shares so sold
or redeemed shall not exceed the number of full Shares the sale or redemption
value of which will provide cash equal to my Account Indebtedness hereunder; and
(iii) any pledged Shares not sold or redeemed to satisfy my Account Indebtedness
will be delivered to my Account and released from all pledge arrangements
contemplated hereby.
4. I understand that I may at any time elect to pay the interest on my Account
Indebtedness in cash or to prepay in cash my Account Indebtedness in full or in
part, provided that I pay fees and charges as stated in the Prospectus which is
current at the time of termination or payment of Account Indebtedness. If the
Account Indebtedness is prepaid in full, the Program and this Agreement will
terminate.
5. I authorize the Company, as my attorney-in-fact, to execute on my behalf
any stock transfer power subject to the limitations stated herein and in the
Prospectus.
Page 1 of 3
29 of 41
6. I agree to pay the Company annually an administrative charge which will
reasonably compensate it for its services pursuant hereto. Unless such
administrative charge is paid by me in cash, the Company, at its discretion,
hereby is further authorized to pay this charge by redeeming Shares in the
amount equal to such charge or to increase my Account Indebtedness by an amount
equal to that charge. I also understand that I may pay the entire administrative
charges over the life of the Program by paying, at the time this Agreement is
signed, a nonrefundable lump sum fee. I also agree to pay all termination fees
and liquidation charges upon termination of the Program and all charges for
special services in accordance with the current Prospectus.
7. This Appointment and Agreement may be terminated effective immediately by
me upon written notice mailed or transmitted via facsimile to the Company and
will be terminated by the Company upon the happening of any of the following
events: 1) the death of all Participants of the Program; 2) the death of all
Insureds covered by a policy (ies) under the Program; 3) if the Shares held as
collateral for the Account Indebtedness fail to meet the minimum collateral
requirements due either to a decline in value of the Shares or an increase in
the Account Indebtedness as set forth in the Prospectus; 4) if the Program fails
to meet the Program's minimum investment requirements set forth in the
Prospectus due to a decrease in the insurance premiums advanced under the
Program unless waived by the Company to the extent permitted by law; 5) the date
ten (10) years from the due date of the initial premium advanced (Normal
Expiration Date), unless extended by mutual agreement between the Company and
the Participant; or 6) upon the inability of the Company to provide or arrange
for financing of premiums. If the Participant is a corporation, "death of all
Participants" shall be read "the dissolution, or bankruptcy" of the corporation
or the appointment of a trustee or receiver for its property; if a Trustee
pursuant to a valid trust instrument, the termination of the trust.
Notwithstanding such termination, the appointments made hereunder shall continue
in effect for the purpose of redeeming my Shares or otherwise effecting payment
of my Account Indebtedness. The Company, any lender, and the Fund shall be
entitled to rely and act upon the authority granted by me under this Agreement
until each of them respectively has received actual written notice of its
revocation or termination.
8. I understand that the Company cannot give any assurance that the proposed
insured, in an application for a policy to be included in a Program, will
qualify for insurance. No fees charged at the initiation of a Program apply to
insurance, thus no conditional receipt for insurance coverage will be issued;
that is, I will be without insurance coverage until (i) the application for
insurance is approved and (ii) the expiration of 31 days from the date of
purchase of the mutual fund shares. If I wish to conditionally obtain insurance
coverage prior to completion of the underwriting process, I may pay an
additional premium payment as described in the current Prospectus. I understand
that such conditional insurance coverage may not be available in all cases.
9. Upon termination of this Agreement, the Program shall terminate and a
sufficient number of Shares held as collateral will be redeemed on a purely
discretionary basis by the Company to pay off the Account Indebtedness. The
remaining shares received from a pledgee or otherwise will be reregistered in
the name of the Participant. No investment of cash received in my Account upon
termination of this Agreement shall be made by the Company unless investment
thereof is directed by me in writing, in which event regular investment charges
will be made.
10. Subject to the agreement of the Company, the Participant in this Program
may be changed. The successor Participant must determine that the investment
is suitable for him/her and adopt all the terms of this Agreement as his/her
own, including the assumption of liability for the Account Indebtedness.
11. A policy may be added to the Program or the Program modified after its
inception upon agreement with the Company. However, the Program, if not
otherwise terminated, shall still terminate on the Normal Expiration Date,
unless extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the Participant.
12. The Program and all Shares held and/or purchased under the terms of a
Program for which there is more than one Participant will be held by
Hampshire Funding, Inc. as Custodian for all Participants as Joint Owners
with rights of survivorship, irrespective of the ownership of any shares
prior to the commencement of the Program.
FEDERAL REVERSE BOARD REGULATION Z
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
All figures assume: 1) this Agreement will be in full force and effect
until the date ten (10) years from the due date of the initial premium advanced
under the Program, when the full amount of the loan (Account Indebtedness) will
be repaid; 2) the annual administrative charges are financed unless otherwise
indicated; 3) the interest rate, which is a variable rate and subject to change
at any time, remains the same throughout the ten year period of this Agreement;
and 4) no charges have been incurred for special services due to modification of
the Program.
If premiums of a variable or dynamic life insurance policy are paid under the
Program, the amount and timing of payments are assumed to follow the
recommended payment schedule for the policy's current interest rate, which is
provided by the appropriate insurance company. These figures may change over
the life of the Program, depending upon deviations from the payment schedule,

changes in the policy's interest rate, which is variable, and the policy's
face amount.
1. AMOUNT FINANCED, the amount of credit provided to you on your behalf $
________.
2. FINANCE CHARGE, the dollar amount the credit will cost you $_________.
3. TOTAL OF PAYMENTS, the amount you will have paid when you have repaid
the loan $_________.
4. ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE, the cost of your credit as a yearly rate.
Excluding annual administrative fee_________. Including annual
administrative fee_________.
You have the right to receive a written itemization of the Amount Financed.
Do you desire an itemization?
[_]Yes [_]No
DEFAULT CHARGE: There are no default, delinquency or collection charges.
Reasonable fees will be charged for special services such as loan reductions,
protested checks, changes in frequency of advances, changes from one mutual
fund account to another, redemption of mutual fund shares, and others.
PREPAYMENT: A termination fee and liquidation charges will be imposed if the
Account Indebtedness is prepaid in full; reasonable fees also will be charged
if the loan balance is reduced. Refer to the terms of this Agreement and the
Prospectus which is current at the time of termination or payment of Account
Indebtedness for information regarding these fees and charges and relating to
default, your obligation to maintain adequate security, the right of
Hampshire
Funding, Inc. to terminate the Program and require repayment of the Account
Indebtedness and any other transaction charges which may have been incurred.
VARIABLE RATE: The Annual Percentage Rate may increase or decrease at any
time during the term of the Program at the discretion of Hampshire Funding,
Inc. The nominal interest rate will in no event be less than 6% per annum nor

Street Journal. An increase in the rate will mean a larger amount will be
due upon termination of the Program; additional collateral may be required in
accordance with the Margin Requirements of the Company. For example, if a
Participant were paying annual premiums of $1,000 at a nominal interest rate
of 12.000% for the ten year life of the Program, the Total of Payments,
including the administrative fee would be $20,833.86 with an Annual
Percentage Rate of 13.016%. If the Participant were paying the same premium
at a nominal interest rate of 13.000% for the ten year life of the Program,
the Total of Payments, including the administrative fee would be $22,063.18
with an Annual Percentage Rate of 14.015%, rather than the figures shown
above. See the Prospectus for further details relating to the Margin
Requirements.
SECURITY: The Account Indebtedness is secured by the pledge of your Shares
as described in this Agreement and the current Prospectus.
CREDIT INSURANCE: Credit life and disability insurance are not required to
obtain credit.

COMPANY-LENDER AGREEMENT
------------------------
This Agreement is made by and between Hampshire Funding, Inc., Concord, New
Hampshire (hereinafter "HFI"), and those lenders who have executed and caused to
be attached hereto an "Acceptance of Company-Lender Agreement" in the form
prescribed hereinafter.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, HFI offers for sale and administers programs (the "Programs")
which coordinate the acquisition of mutual fund shares and insurance described
in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as amended, filed by HFI with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement"), and
WHEREAS, HFI intends to obtain funds for the financing of the Programs
through loans from various lenders in amounts at interest rates and maturities
to be negotiated by HFI and such lenders, and
WHEREAS, HFI and such lenders desire to set forth their rights and
obligations in this Agreement with respect to said loans.
NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. The lenders agree to lend and HFI agrees to borrow the funds specified
and at the interest rate and term set forth on the "Acceptance of Company-Lender
Agreement" executed by HFI and such lenders and attached hereto and made a part
hereof (the "Acceptance").
2. HFI agrees to finance the Programs with the proceeds or to repay
existing outstanding loans used for that purpose and in accordance with the
provisions of the Registration Statement to obtain security for its loans to the
Program Participants, which shall, at all times, have a fair market value of not
less than 130% of the principal plus accrued interest on all loans made by HFI.
Said shares shall be redeemed by HFI upon demand by lender in the event
conditions of default arise as set forth in paragraph 4 or the redemption value
to the collateral held by HFI drops to a level set forth in Paragraph 3.
3. In the event the aggregate redemption value of the mutual fund shares
pledged with HFI by Participants is less than 130% of HFI's principal
indebtedness plus accrued interest with its lenders, lenders may demand that HFI
redeem any such shares as in accordance with its agreements with Participants
may redeem in order to liquidate HFI's entire principal amount of indebtedness
plus accrued interest, or any portion thereof.

4. In the event of a default by HFI in the timely payment of its principal
obligations or interest payments to its lenders, HFI does hereby agree to redeem
pledged mutual fund shares, but on and only on the maturity date of a
Participant's Program. Any such redemption shall be used for the repayment of
financing and shall be apportioned equitably amongst lenders whose loans are in
default; however, to the extent any are secured, said lenders shall maintain a
priority position.
5. The current Prospectus of HFI shall be attached to each "Acceptance of
Company-Lender Agreement" and shall govern the provisions hereof to the extent
that the Company-Lender Agreement is inconsistent therewith. Any revised
Prospectus of HFI shall modify this Company-Lender Agreement to the extent that
the Prospectus is inconsistent herewith.
