required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal

not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2003.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
COMPANY PROFILE
Hampshire Funding, Inc. (the "Company") administers investment programs
("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. The Program loan percentage rate charged
to Participants was 7.25% on March 31, 2003. 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.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The majority of assets and liabilities
are financial in nature and the valuations of these assets and liabilities are
critical to the financial position and results of operations. However, certain
accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of the Company's
financial position and results of operations, and require the Company's
management to apply significant judgment; as a result are subject to an inherent
degree of uncertainty. The fair value of retained interest on loan sales
includes assumptions related to termination and discount rates. These
assumptions involve a high degree of judgment by management and are subject to
fluctuations based upon current market and economic conditions. On an on-going
basis, management evaluates estimates and judgments based upon historical
experience, which forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
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 Bank One, formerly First National Bank of Chicago,
(the "Bank").
The Agreement provides for periodic purchases of the Company's collateral loans
receivable by PREFCO or other investors (for which the Bank serves as agent). On
July 24, 2002 the Agreement was amended to extend the termination date to July
23, 2003. 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 (variable
interest obligations).
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had sold aggregate loans of $23,960,612 and
has retained a subordinated interest and servicing rights in the assets
transferred aggregating $10,883,171. The cash flows related to the repayment of
loans is first used to satisfy all principal and variable interest rate
obligations due to PREFCO,
8
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 $10,465,032 at December 31, 2002.
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 $76,960 and $157,618 in service fees for the three-months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Employee services and office facilities are provided by JP Life under a Service
Agreement with the Company. The Company pays JP Life a monthly fee (in arrears)
for services 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 its duties. The Company paid JP Life
servicing expenses of $108,803 and $113,319 during the three-months ended March
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company capitalizes the present value of expected service fee income in
excess of the related costs to service the outstanding receivables.
As servicing agent for the loans sold, the Company collected loan prepayments of
$1,513,527 for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 and $1,351,110 for the same
period in 2002, which were paid to PREFCO (one month in arrears) to satisfy
principal and variable interest obligation due. The Company originated new loans
of $508,720 and $1,085,296 for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, 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.
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 March 31, 2003 the Company had borrowed
$1,739,695 compared to $1,699,098 at December 31, 2002.
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. 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 premium loans,
due to parent, due to JP Life for expense reimbursements and pay downs due to
PREFCO.
Working capital in the first quarter of 2003 and 2002 was provided by servicing
fees from collateral loans sold, loans from Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and
interest earned on investments.
The Company changed certain of its assumptions supporting the valuation of its
interests retained from loan sales. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company has
increased its estimate of early terminations from 30% to 35% to better reflect
the Company's actual experience.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company concluded the three-months ended March 31, 2003 with net income of
$221,667, as compared to net income of $174,254 for the same period in 2002.
Total revenues for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 were $372,777, versus
$325,398 for the same period in 2002. 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 several years, this increase has been
largely 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
allocating the carrying value of the receivables sold between the portion sold
and the interest retained based on their relative fair value. The Company
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 $3,251 for the three-months ended March 31, 2003, and
$3,017 for the three-months ended March 31, 2002. The average interest rates of
1.28% and 1.79% were paid on average outstanding loans due to affiliates of
$1,628,425 and $675,302 for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
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. As of March 31, 2003 and 2002 the number of Programs
administered by the Company were 1,257 and 2,113, 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.
