Item 1.	Business.

	(a)  General Development of Business

        Jefferson-Pilot Corporation was incorporated in North Carolina
in 1968. While it has broad powers to engage in business, it is solely a
holding company.  Our principal subsidiaries, which are wholly owned, are:

        Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company (JP Life), 
        Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance Company (JPFIC), formerly named
                Chubb Life Insurance Company of America,
        Jefferson Pilot LifeAmerica Insurance Company (JPLA), formerly named
                Chubb Colonial Life Insurance Company,
        Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company of America (AH Life), 
        Jefferson Pilot Securities Corporation, a full service NASD
                registered broker/dealer, and
        Jefferson-Pilot Communications Company (JPCC).
 
Through these and other subsidiaries, we are primarily engaged in the business
of writing life and accident and health insurance policies, writing annuity
policies and selling other investment products, operating radio and television
facilities, and producing sports programming.  Most operations are centered in
Greensboro, North Carolina, although a major base of operations in Concord, NH
serves JPFIC, JPLA and the broker/dealer.  Further detail is provided in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations which begins on page 9 (MD&A).

        Registrant has grown substantially in the past five years both 
internally and through acquisitions.

        In May 1995, JP Life assumed certain life insurance and annuity 
business of Kentucky Central Life Insurance Company in an assumption reinsurance
transaction.

	In October 1995, JP acquired AH Life and its subsidiary, First
Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company (FAHL), from a subsidiary of
Household International, Inc. (HI).  With the acquisition, certain blocks of
AH Life's existing business were 100% coinsured with affiliates of HI, as
more fully discussed in Note 15 on page 53.

        Effective May 1, 1997, JP acquired JPFIC, its subsidiary JPLA, and our
full service broker/dealer from The Chubb Corporation.

      The following is a brief description of our principal wholly-owned
subsidiaries, including their principal products and services, markets and
methods of distribution.

                      INSURANCE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES

	JP Life, domiciled in North Carolina, commenced business operations in
1903.  It is authorized to write insurance in 49 states, the District of
Columbia, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.  It primarily writes whole life,
term, annuity and endowment insurance policies on an individual ordinary
basis, and group life and group accident and health insurance policies.  It
also writes accident and health insurance on an individual basis.
 
        JPFIC, domiciled in New Hampshire, through predecessor companies
commenced business in 1903.  It is authorized to write insurance in 49 states,
the District of Columbia, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

        JPLA, domiciled in New Jersey, commenced business in 1897.  It is
authorized to write insurance in 50 states, the District of Columbia, four
U.S. possessions/territories and Taiwan.

        JPFIC and JPLA are primarily engaged in writing universal life,
variable universal life and term life insurance policies.

        AH Life, domiciled in Michigan, commenced business in 1977.  It is
authorized to write insurance in 49 states and the District of Columbia, and
primarily writes fixed and variable annuities and fixed universal life
policies.

        FAHL, domiciled in New York, commenced business in 1987.  It is
authorized to write insurance in New York only and primarily writes
individual fixed annuity policies.

        Life Insurance Products.  Life policies offered by insurance
subsidiaries include continuous and limited-pay life and endowment policies,
universal life policies, variable universal life policies, and level and
decreasing term policies.  On most policies, accidental death and disability
benefits are available in the form of riders, and IRA riders also are
available.  At times, substandard risks are accepted at higher premiums.

        The companies market individual products through a career agency
force, independent agents recruited through independent marketing
organizations and a regional marketing network, home service agents, and
financial institutions.  Group products are marketed through group brokers,
career agents and home service agents.  Individual health products are
marketed through all of the Company's sales forces and through brokers.

                                   2
<PAGE>

        The insurance subsidiaries have written substantially all of their
accident and health policies on a group basis.  Group insurance is generally
issued to employers covering their employees and to associations covering
their members.  The group medical business is being phased out as more fully
discussed in MD&A.  JP Life continues to pursue group life and disability
insurance and has expanded sales efforts through its other distribution
channels.

        Annuity and Investment Products.  Annuity and investment products
offered by insurance subsidiaries include fixed and variable annuity products.
They are marketed through the distribution channels discussed above and
through investment professionals, annuity marketing organizations and
broker/dealers.  Registrant's broker/dealer markets variable life insurance
and variable annuities written by insurance subsidiaries, and also sells
other securities and mutual funds.
 
Other Information Regarding Insurance Company Subsidiaries

        Regulation.  Insurance companies are subject to regulation and
supervision in the states in which they do business.  Generally the insurance
laws establish supervisory agencies with broad administrative powers relating
to the granting and revocation of licenses to transact business, the licensing
of agents, approval of the forms of policies used, the regulation of trade
practices and market conduct, form and content of required financial
statements, reserve requirements, permitted investments, the approval of
dividends and, in general, the conduct of all insurance activities.

        Insurance companies are also required to file detailed annual reports
with the supervisory agencies in the various states in which each does
business, and business and accounts are subject to examination at any time by
these agencies.  Under the rules of the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) and state laws, companies are examined periodically
(usually at three or five year intervals) by the supervisory agencies of one
or more states.

        Various states, including Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York and North Carolina, have enacted insurance holding company legislation.
Registrant's insurance subsidiaries have registered as members of an
"insurance holding company system" under applicable laws.  Most states
require prior approval by state insurance regulators of transactions with
affiliates, including prior approval of payment of extraordinary dividends
by insurance subsidiaries, and of acquisitions of insurance companies.

        Risk-based capital requirements and state guaranty fund laws are
discussed in MD&A.

        Competition.  The insurance subsidiaries operate in a highly
competitive field which consists of a large number of stock, mutual and other
types of insurers.  A large number of established insurance companies compete
in the states in which our subsidiaries transact business.

        Certain insurance and annuity products also compete with other
investment vehicles.  Marketing of annuities and other competing products by
banks and other financial institutions is increasing.  Our broker/dealer also
operates in a highly competitive environment.  Existing tax laws affect the
taxation of life insurance and many competing products.  Various proposals for
changes have been made, some of which could adversely affect the taxation of
certain products, and thus impact their marketing and the volume of policies
surrendered.

        Employees.  As of December 31, 1998, our insurance operations
including our broker/dealer employed approximately 2,200 persons and held
contracts with 29,000 independent and career agents.


                                COMMUNICATIONS

Other Information Regarding Communications Companies

        Competition.  The radio and television stations compete for
programming, talent and revenues with other radio and television stations
as well as with other advertising and entertainment media.  JPCC's other
divisions compete with other vendors of similar products and services.

        Employees.  As of December 31, 1998, JPCC and its subsidiaries
employed approximately 780 persons full time.

        Federal Regulation.  Television and radio broadcasting operations are
subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act").  The Act
empowers the FCC to issue, revoke or modify broadcasting licenses, assign
frequencies, determine the locations of stations, regulate the apparatus
used by stations, establish areas to be served, adopt necessary regulations,
and impose certain penalties for violation of the regulations.  The Act and
present regulations prohibit the transfer of a license or of control of a
licensee without prior approval of the FCC; restrict in various ways the
common and multiple ownership of broadcast facilities; restrict alien
ownership of licenses; and impose various other strictures on ownership
and operation.

        Broadcasting licenses are granted for a period of eight years for
both television and radio and, in the absence of adverse claims as to the
licensee's qualifications or performance, will normally be renewed by the
FCC for an additional term.  All our station licenses have been renewed as
required.

        (d)     Foreign Operations

        Substantially all operations are conducted within the United States.
Subsidiaries have begun life insurance operations in Argentina and Uruguay,
which are not material to our operations.

Item 2.	Properties

        JP and other subsidiaries utilize space and personnel of JP Life.
JP Life owns its home office consisting of a 20-story building and an
adjacent 17-story building in downtown Greensboro, NC.  These buildings house
insurance operations and provide space for commercial leasing.  JP Life also
owns a supply and printing facility, a parking deck and a computer center,
all located on nearby properties. JP Life leases office space in Lexington,
KY for operation of the KCL business assumed.

        Operations in Concord, NH are conducted in two buildings on
approximately 196 acres owned by JPFIC.

        Insurance sales office space is leased in various jurisdictions.

        JPCC owns its three television studios and office buildings, owns
most of its radio studios and offices, and owns or leases the towers
supporting its radio and television antennas.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

        JP Life is a defendant in a proposed class action suit, Romig v.
Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company, filed on November 6, 1995 in the
Superior Court of Guilford County, NC.  AH Life is a defendant in a separate

                                   4
<PAGE>

proposed class action suit, Hallabrin et al vs. Alexander Hamilton Life
Insurance Company et al, filed on November 10, 1998 in the Circuit Court for
Wayne County, MI. Both suits allege deceptive practices, fraudulent and
negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract in the sale of certain life
insurance policies using policy performance illustrations which used then
current interest or dividend rates and insurance charges and illustrated
that some or all of the future premiums might be paid from policy values
rather than directly by the insured.  The claimant's actual policy values
exceeded those illustrated on a guaranteed basis, but were less than those
illustrated on a then current basis due primarily to the interest crediting
rates having declined along with the overall decline in interest rates in
recent years.  The Hallabrin suit also alleges a conspiracy among our
subsidiary and three unaffiliated insurance companies.  Unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages, costs and equitable relief are sought.
While management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or
range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome, management
believes that it has made appropriate disclosures to policyholders as a
matter of practice, and intends to vigorously defend its position.

        JP and its subsidiaries are involved in other legal and administrative
proceedings and claims of various types, some of which include claims for
punitive damages.  In recent years, the life insurance industry has
experienced increased litigation in which large jury awards including
punitive damages have occurred.  Because of the considerable uncertainties
that exist, we cannot predict the outcome of pending or future litigation
with certainty.  Based on consultation with our legal advisers, management
believes that resolution of pending legal proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity, but could
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations for a specific
period.

        Environmental Proceedings.  There are no material administrative
proceedings against us involving environmental matters.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations.


                       JEFFERSON-PILOT CORPORATION
                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations for the three years ended December 31, 1998 analyzes the results of
operations, consolidated financial condition, liquidity and capital resources
of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries (collectively
referred to as JP or Company).  The discussion should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.  All dollar amounts are
in millions except per share amounts.  Prior share amounts have been restated
to give retroactive effect to the Company's three-for-two stock split, which
was effective in April 1998.  All references to Notes are to Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Company Profile

The Company has four business segments: Life Insurance Products, Annuity and
Investment Products (AIP), Communications, and Corporate and Other.  Within
the Life Insurance Products segment, JP offers individual life and group
insurance products.  Life insurance, accident and health insurance, and
annuities are currently marketed to individuals and businesses in the United
States through the Company's principal life insurance subsidiaries:  Jefferson
-Pilot Life Insurance Company (JP Life), Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance
Company of America and its subsidiary First Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance
Company (collectively, AH Life), and Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance
Company (formerly named Chubb Life Insurance Company of America) and its
subsidiary, Jefferson Pilot LifeAmerica Insurance Company (JPLA, formerly
named Chubb Colonial Life Insurance Company).  Chubb Sovereign Life Insurance
Company, formerly a subsidiary of JP Financial, was merged into JP Financial
in 1998.

Communications operations are conducted by Jefferson-Pilot Communications
Company (JPCC) and consist of radio and television broadcasting properties 
located in strategically selected markets in the Southeastern and Western
United States, and sports program production.

Corporate and Other contains the activities of the parent company and passive
investment affiliates, surplus of the life insurance subsidiaries not allocated
to other reportable segments including earnings thereon, financing expenses on
Corporate debt and debt securities including Capital Securities and mandatorily
redeemable preferred stock, and federal and state income taxes not otherwise
allocated to business segments.

Excluding realized gains, JP's revenues are derived 69% from Life Insurance
Products, 20% from AIP, 8% from Communications and 3% from Corporate and
Other.

Acquisition Summary

JP's acquisition strategy is designed to deploy capital to enhance its core
business growth.  The focus of such acquisitions is to increase distribution,
add product offerings, and provide economies of scale.  In May 1997, the
Company acquired Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance Company and its
subsidiary, JPLA (collectively, JP Financial).  The discussion of this
acquisition and other significant transactions in Note 1 is incorporated
herein by reference.

Results of Operations

In the following discussion "operating income" means income from operations
before realized investment gains, but after dividends on Capital Securities
and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, except where otherwise indicated.

                                   9

</TABLE>

Operating income increased 21.3% in 1998 and 14.4% in 1997 due primarily to
increased profitability in the Life Insurance Products and Annuities and
Investment Products segments.  1998's results reflected the acquisition of JP
Financial for twelve months, whereas 1997's results only included eight
months' operations.  Also, due to efforts to improve the economics of group
health products, 1998's results benefited from a return to profitability of
these coverages.  Excluding the earnings impact of JP Financial (less related
financing costs) and group medical results, operating income increased
approximately 10% in 1998 and 1997.

Net realized gains in 1998 declined 21.0% in comparison to the 1997 increase
of 139.1% as a result of selling investments in 1997 to finance the
acquisition of JP Financial.  Approximately 60%, 90% and 60% of pre-tax
realized gains in 1998, 1997 and 1996 were due to sales of investments in
common stocks.

Earnings per share increased 12.9% and 27.8% in 1998 and 1997 due to the 
increase in net income. Earnings per share - assuming dilution increased 12.7%
and 27.6%. Operating income per share increased 21.1% and 14.8% in 1998 and
1997.


Operating Earnings by Business Segment

Reportable segments are determined in a manner consistent with the way
management organizes for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing
performance.  Invested assets backing insurance liabilities are assigned to
segments in relation to policyholder funds and reserves.  Net deferred
acquisition costs incurred or purchased, reinsurance receivables and
communications assets are assigned to segments based on specific
identification.  Assets are also assigned to back capital allocated to each
segment in relation to JP's philosophy for managing business risks, reflecting
appropriate conservatism.

A more detailed discussion of operating results by segment follows.

Life Insurance Products

The Life Insurance Products (Life Insurance) segment offers a wide array of
individual and group insurance policies through a career agency force,
independent agents recruited through independent marketing organizations and
a regional marketing network, home service agents, financial institutions,
workplace marketing representatives, and a targeted marketing division.

Individual life insurance products include traditional life and health
products, as well as universal life (UL) and variable universal life (VUL),
together referred to as UL-type products.  The operating cycle  for life
insurance products is long-term in nature;  therefore, actuarial assumptions
are important to financial reporting for these policies.  Traditional products
require the policyholder to pay scheduled premiums over the life of the
coverage.  Traditional premium receipts are recognized as revenues and profits
are expected to emerge in relation thereto.  Interest-sensitive product
premiums may vary over the life of the policy at the discretion of the
policyholder and are not recognized as revenues.  Rather, revenues and
operating income on these products arise from mortality, expense and
surrender charges to policyholder fund balances (policy charges).
Additionally, JP earns interest spreads and investment advisory fees on
policyholder fund balances.  Operating income for both traditional and
UL-type products also includes earnings on assigned capital.

Group insurance products include life and disability products sold through
employers, primarily in the Southeastern U.S.  It also includes a block of
medical policies which are being underwritten by a national managed care
company as policy renewal dates arise over the next twelve months, on an
"as-rated" basis.  This will result in invested capital formerly assigned to
these medical policies being reinvested in other life insurance products or
other reportable segments during 1999 and 2000, as the Company exits the
group medical business.

Life Insurance recorded increases in operating income of 26.6% in 1998 and
29.5% in 1997.  In 1998, individual products contributed a 20.1% increase
while group products improved 151.6% due to aggressive rate increases and
expense management.  In 1997, individual products operating income increased
44.2%, due to acquisitions and internal growth, while group products declined
56.6% in a very competitive marketplace for continuing writers of medical
coverages. The following table summarizes operating income for each category:

During 1998, JP took aggressive action to restore the profitability of the
in-force group medical business and then announced its intention to cease
offering group medical policies beginning April 1, 1999.  A full line of group
life and disability policies are still offered through existing distribution
channels.  The following table illustrates amounts included in Life Insurance

Life Insurance revenues increased only 2.3% in 1998 because of declines in
group premiums, and increased 24.0% in 1997 as a result of the JP Financial
acquisition.  Revenues include traditional insurance premiums, policy charges
and investment income.  Individual revenues increased 16.3% in 1998 and 41.8%
in 1997 due to growth in core businesses from acquisitions and internal
growth.  To a large degree, increases in individual revenues are driven by
growth in average policyholder fund balances, which increased 23.5% in 1998
and 44.4% in 1997.  Group revenues declined 33.9% in 1998 and 6.4% in 1997,
because the medical rate increases implemented resulted in non-renewals by
certain customers.

Life Insurance traditional insurance premiums declined 23.6% in 1998 due to
group medical products and increased 4.6% in 1997.  Individual traditional
premiums improved 4.6% in 1998 and 42.3% in 1997 due in large part to the
acquisition of JP Financial.  Group traditional premiums declined 36.5% in
1998 and 6.9% in 1997.  Including equivalent premiums on self-insured health
policies,  group premiums were down 30.8% and 5.9%.  Policy charges improved
18.6% in 1998 and 49.4% in 1997, in relation to growth in UL-type products,
especially as a result of the JP Financial acquisition.

Investment income on assets assigned to the Life Insurance segment improved
16.5% and 34.3% in 1998 and 1997, following the growth in segment assets.
Total portfolio yields have declined as a result of lower investment rates and
credit spreads on new investment opportunities.  The portfolio yield on
traditional assets declined 12 basis points in 1998 versus 26 basis points in
1997.  Due to effective management of asset/liability risks, the average
investment spread (calculated as the difference between portfolio yields
earned on invested assets less interest credited to policyholder funds,

                                   12
<PAGE>

assuming the same level of invested assets) on UL products decreased 9 basis
points in 1998 to 1.63% and remained unchanged in 1997 at 1.72%.  In addition
to being impacted by portfolio yields and crediting rates, interest spreads
may vary over time due to competitive strategies and changes in product
design.

Policy benefits declined 6.1% in 1998, primarily due to group medical
products, and increased 19.7% in 1997, primarily due to the JP Financial
acquisition.  Traditional policy benefits improved to 85.0% of premiums in
1998 versus 89.3% and 90.1% in 1997 and 1996.  The improvement is attributable
to aggressive rate actions taken to restore the profitability of group medical
policies, which also resulted in the decline in premiums and premium
equivalents.  As a result of these actions, the group medical incurred loss
ratio improved to 72% in 1998 versus 87% and 84% in 1997 and 1996.  Policy
benefits on UL-type products improved to 8.2% of average policyholder funds in
1998 versus 8.7% in 1997 and 1996.  The improvement is due, in approximately
equal measure, to favorable mortality and lower credited rates on policyholder
accounts. 

Expenses (including the net deferral and amortization of policy acquisition
costs) increased 6.8% and 32.5% in 1998 and 1997 due to acquisitions.
Expenses on individual traditional products were 31.27%, 32.76% and 32.66% of
premiums in 1998, 1997 and 1996.  For UL-type products, expenses as a
percentage of policyholder funds and separate accounts, were 2.94%, 3.14% and
3.20% in 1998, 1997 and 1996.  The improvement in 1998's maintenance expenses
is a result of integration savings from the JP Financial acquisition.  The
increase in 1997 is due to the addition of equity-based variable products.
For group policies, expenses declined 21.3% in 1998 and increased 1.1% in
1997.  The 1998 decline was due to management actions to maintain
profitability, and due to lower commissions, as revenues declined.  As a
percentage of premiums and equivalents, expenses increased to 15.4% in 1998
versus 13.6% and 12.6% in 1997 and 1996, due to severance benefits and lease
cancellation costs associated with the non-renewal of health policies.

Average Life Insurance assets grew 24.8% in 1998, primarily due to ownership
of JP Financial for all of 1998, sales of UL-type products, and growth in
existing policyholder funds, from interest credited and equity returns.  1997
average assets grew 41.3% from internal growth and acquisitions.  The return
on average Life Insurance assets was 2.02%, 1.99% and 2.18% in 1998, 1997 and
1996.  The improvement in 1998 relates to the profitable growth of UL-type
assets and the return to profitability of group health policies.  The decline
in 1997 is due to diminished group health results and the addition of JP
Financial equity-based variable products.

</TABLE>

Revenues increased 1.2% in 1998 and 13.0% in 1997.  Annuity revenues are 
derived from policy charges, investment income on segment assets and from
concession income earned on investment product sales by Jefferson Pilot
Securities Corporation (JPSC), a registered broker-dealer, and related
entities.  The increases in revenues are primarily related to increases in
average policyholder fund balances including separate accounts which grew
2.4% in 1998 and 7.1% in 1997.  The increases in policyholder fund balances
results from interest credited and new receipts less benefits paid and
withdrawals.  The decline in fixed annuity receipts during 1998's low
interest rate environment occurred as fixed rate products were perceived less
favorably than other fixed interest investments, and as potential customers
chose variable annuities on the strength of United States equity markets.
Fixed annuity benefits and surrenders as a percentage of beginning fund
balances were 15.8%, 15.0% and 13.4% in 1998, 1997 and 1996.  Annuity
surrenders may increase in relation to the portion of the business that can be
withdrawn by policyholders without incurring a surrender charge.  Other income
includes concession income earned by JPSC and increased substantially in 1998
and 1997, subsequent to JPSC's acquisition as a part of the JP Financial
acquisition.

Policy benefits as a percentage of average policyholder fund balances were
5.2%, 5.7% and 5.8% in 1998, 1997 and 1996.  These declines as well as the
declines in premiums are primarily attributable to a reclassification for 1998
of certain single premium annuity products as interest-sensitive rather than
as traditional products.  This reclassification had no effect on operating
income.  During 1997 and 1996, $16 and $54 of premiums associated with such
products were reported as revenues, with similar amounts included in policy
benefits.  Interest credited represented 5.1%, 5.1% and 4.7% of average 
policyholder fund balances in 1998, 1997 and 1996.  Effective spreads, which
represent the yield on the investment portfolio less interest credited to
policyholders, adjusted for net deferral of bonus interest and assuming the
same level of assets, remained relatively constant at 2.11%, 2.13% and 2.09%
for 1998, 1997 and 1996.  This occurred in spite of a decline in portfolio
yields to 7.38% in 1998 versus 7.44% in 1997 and 7.43% in 1996, due to
effective asset/liability management.

Insurance expenses as a percentage of average policyholder fund balances 
including separate accounts were 0.64%, 0.68% and 0.67% for 1998, 1997 and
1996.  In 1997, expenses were negatively impacted by a one-time expense for
the relocation of annuity administrative functions to the Greensboro home
office.  The growth in AIP expenses in 1998 and 1997 was primarily due to
broker/dealer operations, similar to the increases in other income.  Broker/
dealer expenses, which include commission expense, as a percentage of
concession income were 91.1%, 95.1% and 83.3% for 1998, 1997 and 1996.  The
percentage for 1996 is not comparable because it precedes the JP Financial
acquisition.

Average AIP assets increased 4.2% in 1998.  In 1997, average assets increased
13.2%, due largely to the JP Financial acquisition.  AIP posted returns on
average assets of 1.09% in 1998,  1.02% in 1997 and 1.00% in 1996.  The 1998
increase is primarily due to earnings of JPSC which were $3 and $1 in 1998 and
1997, as well as effective expense management.

Operating income from the Communications segment increased $4.8 or 17.5% in
1998 compared to a decline of 2.5% in 1997.  Results for 1997 and 1996 were
positively impacted by tax refunds and related interest income of $0.3 and
$2.6.  Excluding the impact of these refunds, operating income for 1998
increased 18.8% over 1997.  Net interest expense in 1998 and 1997 reflects
increased interest expense on debt to finance acquisitions made since
June 30, 1996, versus interest income from the tax refund in 1996.

The Company's broadcasting properties continued to benefit from the generally
favorable advertising environment and the strong local economies in which they
operate.  Combined revenues for Radio and Television grew 8.9% and 14.0% in
1998 and 1997, respectively.  Radio experienced strong revenue growth in 1998,
resulting from programming changes made in 1997 and increased demand for local
advertising.  Two of the television stations are CBS affiliates and benefited
from robust winter Olympic related advertising during first quarter 1998.
However, Television revenues declined for much of 1998 as national agency
sales continued to be sluggish, consistent with a nationwide trend.

Revenue from Sports operations decreased 25.6% during 1998.  The decline is
primarily a result of first quarter factors, including a non-recurring
sporting event held in the first quarter of 1997 and a decrease in collegiate-
related basketball sales in 1998.  Revenues declined 24.7% during 1997 as a
result of non-recurring Olympic revenues realized in 1996 and declines in
advertising revenues.

Broadcast cashflow grew by 16.5% and 12.1% in 1998 and 1997, respectively, as
the strong growth of the broadcast properties, particularly Radio in 1998 and
TV in 1997, was partially offset by the results of Sports.

Total expenses (comprised of operating costs and expenses, depreciation and
amortization, and corporate general and administrative expenses) decreased
3.4% in 1998 and increased 1.2% in 1997.  Expenses as a percent of
communication revenues for 1997 and 1996 of 74.5% and 76.2% decreased to 70.4%
for 1998.  The 1998 and 1997 decreases were attributable to a change in the
mix of business away from lower margin sports products toward higher margin
broadcast business, and improved expense control.

</TABLE>

Total assets for the Corporate and Other segment grew 7.2% in 1998 and 8.2% in
1997 primarily due to retention of earnings less capital reinvested in the
Life Insurance Products and Annuities and Investment Products segments.

Operating income declined 5.6% in 1998, compared to a decline of 53.9% in 1997
which resulted from the redeployment of capital into the Company's core
businesses and the acquisition of  JP Financial.  The results of this segment
may vary from year to year due to expenses associated with strategic
activities, income recorded on equity-method investments, transfers of assets
to and from business segments as well as refinements in asset assignments and
investment income allocation methodologies to other reportable segments.

Earnings on investments increased 9.2% in 1998 compared to 3.7% in 1997 
primarily due to growth in investment income on surplus not assigned to the
other reportable segments and increased income from equity method investments.
Acquisition financing accounts for the increase in interest expense and
dividends on Capital Securities and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock for
both 1998 and 1997.  Operating expenses in 1998 increased by non-recurring
expenses of $2.5 related to the recording of surplus furniture and equipment
at its net realizable value and $3.0 associated with promoting the new brand
name, Jefferson Pilot Financial.  Federal and state income tax expense
includes the tax benefits of preferred dividends on Capital Securities; such
dividends are recorded gross of related tax effects.

Financial Position, Capital Resources And Liquidity

JP's primary resources are investments related to its Life Insurance Products
and AIP segments, properties and other assets utilized in all segments and
investments backing corporate capital.  The Investments section reviews the
Company's investment portfolio and key strategies.

                                   16

Total assets increased $1,207 or 5.2% in 1998.  This growth resulted from cash
provided by operating activities, increases in Separate Account assets and
increases in the market values of available for sale investments, an increase
in policyholder contract deposits (despite being adversely impacted by a $146
decline related to business that is 100% coinsured to a third party), offset
in part by redemption of $50 of preferred stock and payment of dividends.
Total assets increased $5,569 or 31.7% in 1997 due mainly to the JP Financial
acquisition.  Excluding incremental total assets of JP Financial as of the
acquisition date, the 1997 increase was $1,689 or 9.6%.

The Life Insurance Products and Annuities and Investment Products segments
defer the costs of acquiring new business, including commissions, first year
bonus interest, certain costs of underwriting and issuing policies plus agency
office expenses (referred to as DAC).  Such amounts deferred were $844 and
$742 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, an increase of 13.7%.

Value of business acquired (VOBA) represents the actuarially-determined
present value of future gross profits of each business acquired.  VOBA of $482
was recorded during 1997 related to the JP Financial acquisition.  Note 6
contains rollforwards of DAC and VOBA for 1998, 1997 and 1996, and is
incorporated herein by reference.

Goodwill (representing the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair
value of net assets) was $229 and $225 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, with the
net increase due to final allocation of purchase price related to the JP
Financial acquisition.  Goodwill as a percentage of shareholders' equity was
7.5% and 8.2% at year end 1998 and 1997.

Carrying amounts of goodwill, VOBA and DAC are regularly reviewed for 
indications of value impairment, with consideration given to the financial
performance of acquired properties, future gross profits of insurance in force
and other factors.

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, JP had recorded reinsurance receivables of
$1,072 and $1,250 and policy loans of $831 and $834 which are related to the
businesses of AH Life that were coinsured with Household International (HI)
affiliates.  HI has provided payment, performance and capital maintenance
guarantees with respect to the balances receivable.  JP also had a recoverable
of $95 and $97 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 from a single reinsurer
related to a block of business of JP Financial that is 50% reinsured.  JP and
the reinsurer are joint and equal owners of $191 and $195 of securities and
short-term investments as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 which support the
block.  JP regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and
monitors concentrations of credit risk related to reinsurance activities.  No
significant credit losses have resulted from reinsurance activities during the
three years ended December 31, 1998.

</TABLE>

The Company's ratio of capital to assets has declined over time as a result of
acquisitions, except in 1998 when no new acquisitions occurred.

JP considers existing capital resources to be more than adequate to support
the current level of its business activities.  The business plan places
priority on redirecting certain capital resources invested in bonds and stocks
into its core businesses, such as the JP Financial acquisition, which would be
expected to produce higher returns over time.  

                                   17

The Life Insurance and AIP segments are subject to regulatory constraints.
The Company's insurance subsidiaries have statutory surplus and risk based
capital levels well above required levels.  These capital levels together with
the rating agencies' assessments of the Company's business strategies have
enabled JP Life, AH Life and JP Financial to attain the following claims
paying ratings:

Debt and Exchangeable Securities

Short-term borrowings outstanding of $289 and $285 as of December 31, 1998 and
1997 consisted of commercial paper.  The weighted average interest rates were
5.61% and 6.02% as of December 31, 1998 and 1997.  The maximum commercial
paper outstanding during 1998 and 1997 was $302 and $317.

JP has sold U. S. Treasury obligations and collateralized mortgages under
repurchase agreements involving various counterparties, accounted for as
financing arrangements.  Proceeds are used to purchase securities with longer
durations as an asset/liability management strategy.  The maximum amounts
outstanding were $290 and $242 during 1998 and 1997.  The securities involved
had a fair value and amortized cost of $303 and $232, and $287 and $241, as of
year end 1998 and 1997.

In April 1997, the Company privately placed $75 of 6.95% Mandatorily 
Exchangeable Debt Securities (MEDS) and in June 1997, the Company privately
placed $75 of 6.65% MEDS.  The discussion of these issuances and the
previously issued Automatic Common Exchange Securities (ACES) in Note 8 is
incorporated herein by reference.

Capital Securities and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

In January and March 1997, the Company privately placed $200 of 8.14% Capital
Securities Series A and $100 of 8.285% Capital Securities Series B.  The
discussion of these issuances in Note 9 is incorporated herein by reference.

Of the $53 of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock outstanding at
December 31, 1997,  $50 was redeemed upon the request of the holder in April
1998 at par plus accrued dividends.  The remaining $3 was repurchased and
canceled as of January 1, 1999.

While the Company has made no commitments for additional financing, additional
securities may be issued to finance acquisitions or for other corporate
purposes.



Liquidity

Liquidity requirements are met primarily by positive cash flows from the 
operations of insurance subsidiaries and other consolidated subsidiaries.
Overall sources of liquidity are sufficient to satisfy operating requirements.
Primary sources of cash from insurance operations are premiums and other
considerations, receipts for policyholder accounts, investment sales and
maturities and investment income.  Primary uses of cash include purchase of
investments, payment of benefits, operating expenses, withdrawals from
policyholder accounts, costs related to acquiring new business and income
taxes.  Primary sources of cash from communications operations are revenues
from advertising and sports and entertainment production.  Primary uses of
cash include payment of agency commissions, cost of sales, operating expenses
and income taxes.

Cash provided by operations for 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $435, $516 and $998.
In 1996, cash flow from operations was impacted by the receipt of
$462 in conjunction with the retrocession assumption of periodic payment 
annuities from HI.  Cash flows from operations may decline as the Company's
policy receipts continue to shift from traditional products (which are
reflected in operating cash flows) to interest sensitive products (which are
reflected in financing cash flows).

                                   18
<PAGE>

Net cash used in investing activities was $716, $1,173 and $1,124 for 1998,
1997 and 1996.  The Company used cash of $758 in 1997 to acquire JP Financial.
The 1996 amount included the investing of the $462 received from HI mentioned
in the preceding paragraph.  Sales of securities available for sale were $465,
$1,614 and $500 in 1998, 1997 and 1996.  Sales of securities in 1997 were used
to partially fund the JP Financial acquisition.  Total maturities, calls, and
redemptions were $1,379, $839 and $1,276 in 1998, 1997 and 1996.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $293, $561 and $109 for 1998,
1997 and 1996.  Proceeds from the issuance of securities of $450 related to
funding of the JP Financial acquisition drove the 1997 totals, while 1998
reflects the redemption of $50 of preferred stock and repurchases of Company
common stock of $27.  Net borrowings/(repayments) from short-term debt and
securities sold under repurchase agreements were $201, $(138) and $40 for
1998, 1997 and 1996.  Cash inflows from changes in policyholder contract
deposits were $318, $374 and $193 for 1998, 1997 and 1996.  Cash was used to
pay dividends of $149, $129 and $103 during 1998, 1997 and 1996.

In order to meet the parent company's dividend payments, debt servicing 
obligations and other expenses, internal dividends are received from the 
subsidiary companies.  Total internal cash dividends paid to the parent
company from its subsidiaries during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $235, $391 and
$156.  JP Life and AH Life were the primary source of dividends in 1998.  The
Company's life insurance subsidiaries are subject to laws in the states of
domicile that limit the amount of dividends that can be paid without the prior
approval of the respective State's Insurance Commissioner.  Approximately 20%
of the amount of dividends planned from life subsidiaries for 1999 will
require regulatory approval.  The Company has no reason to believe that such
approval will be withheld.

Cash and short-term investments were $21, $9 and $105 at December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996.  Additionally, fixed income and equity securities held by the
parent company and non-regulated subsidiaries were $538, $564 and $483 at
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.  These securities, less the $325 (at
December 31, 1998) of BankAmerica Corporation common stock which supports the
Exchangeable Securities, are considered to be sources of liquidity to support
the Company's strategies.  Total trading securities and debt and equity
securities available for sale at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $11,907 and
$11,048.

Investments

JP's strategy for managing the insurance investment portfolio is to dependably
meet pricing assumptions while achieving the highest possible after-tax
returns over the long term.  Cash flows are invested primarily in fixed income
securities. The nature and quality of the various types of investments held by
insurance subsidiaries must comply with state regulatory requirements.  The
Company has a formal investment policy that governs overall quality and
diversification.

JP held the following carrying amounts of investments:

The strategy of identifying market sectors and niches that provide investment
opportunities to meet the portfolios' growth, quality and yield requirements

placements and commercial mortgage loans.

JP's Investment Policy Statement (Policy) requires an average quality fixed
income portfolio (excluding mortgage loans) of "A" or higher.   Currently, the
average quality is "A1", excluding mortgage loans.  The Policy also imposes
limits on the amount of lower quality investments and requires diversification
by issuer and asset type.  The Company monitors "higher risk" investments for
compliance with the Policy and for proper valuation.  Securities that
experience other than temporary declines in value are adjusted to net
realizable values through a charge to earnings.  Commercial mortgage loans in
foreclosure are carried at the net present value of expected future cash
flows. The Company has established a reserve to account for impaired mortgage
loans which was $31 and $27 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997.

Carrying amounts of investments categorized as "higher risk" assets were:

The Policy permits the use of derivative financial instruments such as futures
contracts and interest rate swaps in conjunction with specific direct
investments.  The Company's actual use of derivative financial instruments has
been limited, using them to manage well-defined interest rate risks.  Interest
rate swaps with a notional value of $186, $200 and $254 were open as of
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.  Termination of these arrangements under
year end 1998 interest rates would result in a gain of $13.  The periodic cash
settlements under these arrangements are reflected as an adjustment to
investment income.

The Company's investment strategy with respect to CMO's focuses on actively-
traded, less volatile issues that produce relatively stable cash flows.  The
majority of CMO holdings are sequential tranches of federal agency issuers.
The CMO portfolio has been constructed with underlying mortgage collateral
characteristics and structure in order to lower cash flow volatility over a
range of interest rate levels.

Year 2000 Issue

Like most if not all companies, JP faces certain risks associated with the
coming of the year 2000.  The year 2000 issue relates to the way computer
systems and programs define calendar dates.  By using only two digit dates,
they could fail or make miscalculations due to the inability to distinguish
between dates in the 1900's and in the 2000's.  Also, many systems and
equipment that are not typically thought of as "computer-related" (referred to
as "non-IT") contain embedded hardware or software that must handle dates and
may not properly perform with dates after 1999.

The Company began work on the Year 2000 compliance issue in 1995.  The scope
of the project includes: ensuring the compliance of all applications,
operating systems and hardware on mainframe, PC and LAN platforms; addressing
issues related to non-IT embedded software and equipment; and addressing the
compliance of key vendors and service providers to the Company (business
partners).

                                   20
<PAGE>

The project has four phases: assessment of systems and equipment affected by
the Year 2000 issue; definition of strategies to address affected systems and
equipment; remediation of affected systems and equipment; and certification
that each is Year 2000 compliant.  To certify that all IT systems (internally
developed or purchased) are Year 2000 compliant, each system is tested using
a standard testing methodology which includes regression testing, millennium
testing, millennium leap year testing and cross over year testing.
Certification testing is performed on each system as soon as remediation is
completed.

The target for completion of all phases and categories is September 30, 1999.
The Company has completed the assessment and strategy phases for mainframe
applications, operating systems and hardware and is executing the remediation
and certification phases.  The Company's new business and policyholder
administration systems and the general ledger are on the mainframe.  The
Company has determined that approximately 62% of all mainframe systems are
compliant.  The Company does not deem a system to be compliant until the
completion of remediation and certification to confirm that its performance
will not be affected by dates extending after 1999.  With respect to
significant policyholder systems, all required remediation has been completed
on all systems.  The majority of these systems, including all systems which
support products the Company is currently marketing, have been certified as
Year 2000 compliant.  Completion of certification of remaining systems for
some closed blocks of business is expected by April 1999.  Other non-
policyholder mainframe systems have either been certified or are on schedule.
For PC and LAN systems, the Company has completed the strategy phases and is
executing the assessment, remediation and certification phases concurrently
and intends to complete these phases during the third quarter of 1999.

For the majority of the Company's non-IT related systems and equipment, the
Company has been advised by vendors that the systems and equipment are
currently Year 2000 compliant.  Written documentation regarding compliance is
being obtained.  Where feasible, certification testing will be conducted for
systems and equipment that are material to operations.  Some systems and
equipment, such as electrical power supply, are not feasible for the Company
to certify. Completion for non-IT systems and equipment is scheduled for
September 1999.

The most significant category of key business partners is financial 
institutions.  Their critical functions include safeguarding and managing
investment portfolios, processing of the Company's operating bank accounts,
and sales/distribution.  All of the Company's business partner financial
institutions that have responded to the Company's inquiries have indicated
they are on schedule for Year 2000 compliance.  The Company continues to
follow up with business partner financial institutions that have not yet
responded.  Other partner categories include insurance agents and marketing
organizations, and suppliers of communication services, utilities, materials
and supplies.  The Company has conducted surveys of all its software and
hardware vendors, and certification is underway.  In addition to financial
institutions, other critical business partners have been identified and
surveys initiated.  Results of these surveys are being analyzed in the first
quarter of 1999 and appropriate testing or other due diligence will be
conducted in the second and third quarters of 1999.

The Company has not had an independent review of its Year 2000 risks or 
estimates.  However, experts have been engaged to assist in developing 
estimates and to complete remediation work on specific portions of the
project.

Since inception of the project, the Company has incurred external costs of $7
and internal costs of $7.  The current estimate, based on actual experience to
date, of total project expense is $24, with remaining external costs of $5 and
internal costs of  $5.  Costs are included in various budgets and expensed as
incurred.  Expected total costs are less than earlier estimates due in part to
refinements in estimates as more projects near completion.  In addition,
remediation/certification costs on projects completed to date have been lower
than originally estimated.  Total 1998 costs were $8.  There has not been a
material adverse impact on the Company's operations as a result of IT projects
being deferred due to resource constraints caused by the Year 2000 project.

The Company has investments in publicly and privately placed securities and
loans. The Company may be exposed to credit risk to the extent that related
borrowers are materially adversely impacted by the Year 2000 issue.  Portfolio
diversification reduces the overall risk.  The Company is in compliance with
the NAIC Securities Valuation Office's Due Diligence Guidelines for analyzing
these risks.

Although the Company expects to certify that its critical policyholder systems
are compliant by the end of April 1999, there is no guarantee that these
results will be achieved. Specific factors that give rise to this uncertainty
include a possible loss of technical resources to perform the work (not yet
encountered), failure to identify all susceptible systems, non-compliance by
third parties whose systems and operations impact the Company, and other
similar uncertainties.

Specifically, from Year 2000 problems, the Company could experience an
interruption in its ability to collect and process premiums, process claim
payments, safeguard and manage its invested assets and operating cash
accounts, accurately maintain policyholder information, accurately maintain
accounting records, issue new policies and/or perform adequate customer
service. JPCC could experience an inability to broadcast commercial spots and
invoice them, or to receive TV network programming.  While the Company
believes the occurrence of such a situation is unlikely, a possible worst case
scenario might include one or more of the Company's significant policyholder
systems or broadcasting inventory management systems being non-compliant. Such
an event could result in a material disruption to the Company's or JPCC's
operations. Should the worst case scenario occur (except in JPCC), it could,
depending on its duration, have a material impact on the Company's  results of
operations and liquidity and ultimately on its financial position.

Although the Company is on schedule to complete certification of all internal
systems and non-IT equipment well in advance of January 1, 2000, the Company
recognizes the need to plan for unanticipated problems resulting from failure
of internal systems or equipment or from failures by the Company's business
partners, providers, suppliers or other critical third parties. The Company
has begun work on contingency plans for all mission critical functions.

Market Risk Exposures

Since JP's assets and liabilities are largely monetary in nature, the
Company's financial position and earnings are subject to risks resulting from
changes in interest rates at varying maturities, changes in spreads over U.S.
Treasuries on new investment opportunities, changes in the yield curve and
equity pricing risks.  Continued favorable economic conditions in the U.S.
contributed to a decline in 10 year U.S. Treasury rates of 110 basis points
in 1998 versus a 68 basis point decline in 1997.  These forces contributed to
an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $53 and
$174 in 1998 and 1997.  Further, in 1997, various forces in the fixed income
markets resulted in a compression of risk premiums over Treasury securities
that can be earned on new investments.  In 1998, risk premiums widened
significantly in the third and fourth quarters.

In a falling interest rate environment, the risk of prepayment on some fixed
income securities increases, causing funds to be reinvested at lower yields.
The Company limits this risk by concentrating the fixed income portfolio on
non-callable securities, through careful selection of CMO's that are
structured to minimize cash flow volatility and by purchasing securities that
provide for "make-whole" type prepayment fees.  Falling interest rates can
also impact demand for the Company's products, as bank certificates of deposit
with no surrender charges and higher average returns from equity markets may
become more attractive to new and existing customers.  Conversely, in a rising
interest rate environment, competitive pressures may make it difficult for the
Company to sustain spreads between rates credited on interest-sensitive
products and portfolio earnings rates, thereby prompting withdrawals by
policyholders.  The Company manages this risk by adjusting interest crediting
rates, at least on an annual basis, with due regard to the yield of its
investment portfolio and pricing assumptions and by prudently managing
interest rate risk of assets and liabilities.

As is typical in the industry, the Company's life and annuity products contain
minimum rate guarantees regarding interest credited.  For interest sensitive
life products the minimum rates range from approximately 3.0% to 5.5%, with
an approximate weighted average of 4.5%.  For annuity products, the minimum
rates range from 3.0% to 5.5%, with the greatest concentration in the 3.5% to
4.0% range.

The Company employs various methodologies to manage its exposure to interest
rate risks.  The asset/liability management process focuses primarily on the
management of interest rate risk of the Company's insurance operations.  JP
monitors the duration of insurance liabilities compared to the duration of

                                   22
<PAGE>

assets backing the insurance lines, giving measurement to the optionality of
cash flows.  The Company's goal in such analysis is to prudently balance
profitability and risk for each insurance product category, and for the
Company as a whole.  At December 31, 1998 and 1997, 88% and 87% of policy
liabilities related to interest-sensitive portfolios.


The Company also considers the timing of cash flows arising from market risk
sensitive instruments (other than trading) and insurance portfolios under
varying interest rate scenarios as well as the related impact on reported
earnings under those varying scenarios.  Market risk sensitive instruments
(other than trading) include debt and equity securities available for sale
and held to maturity, mortgage loans, policy loans, investment commitments,
annuities in the accumulation phase and periodic payment annuities, commercial
paper borrowings, repurchase agreements, interest rate swaps, and debt and
Exchangeable Securities.  The following table shows the estimated impact that
various hypothetical interest rate scenarios would be expected to have on the
Company's earnings for a calendar year, based on the assumptions contained in
the Company's model.  The change in these estimates as of year end 1998 versus
year end 1997 was due primarily to differences in the yield curve and in the
sensitivities they introduced to the Company's model.

These estimates were derived by modeling estimated cash flows of the Company's
market risk sensitive instruments and insurance portfolios.  Changes in
interest rates illustrated above assume parallel shifts in the yield curve
graded pro-rata over four quarters.  Incremental income or loss is net of
taxes at 35%.  Estimated cash flows produced in the model assume reinvestments
representative of JP's current investment strategy and calls/prepayments
include scheduled maturities as well as those expected to occur when issuers
can benefit financially based on the difference between prepayment penalties
and new money rates under each scenario.  Assumed lapse rates among insurance
portfolios give consideration to relationships expected between crediting
rates and market interest rates, as well as the level of surrender charges
inherent in individual contracts.  The illustrated incremental income or loss
also includes the expected impact on amortization of DAC and VOBA.  The model
is based on the Company's existing business in force as of December 31, 1998
and does not consider new sales of life and annuity products or the potential
impact (as discussed above) of interest rate fluctuations on sales.

The Company is exposed to equity price risk on its equity securities (other
than trading).  JP holds common stock with a fair value of $949.
Approximately $500 of such value is represented by investments in a single
issuer, BankAmerica.  The Company's Exchangeable Securities are exchangeable
into shares of BankAmerica common stock.  Had the Exchangeable Securities been
redeemable as of year end, the redemption value would have been $325 (see
Notes 8 and 18).  If the market value of the S&P 500 Index, and of BankAmerica
common stock specifically, decreased 10% from their December 31, 1998 values,
the fair value of the Company's common stock and Exchangeable Securities would
change as follows:

External Trends And Forward Looking Information

JP operates largely in the U. S. Financial Services market, which is subject
to general economic conditions in the U.S.  During 1998 and 1997, the U.S.
economy exhibited continued favorable trends including low inflation with
minimal risk of price increases, moderate business growth and increases in
productivity through technological innovation.  However, this environment has
resulted in a scarcity of quality investments at favorable yields, in part due
to abundant liquidity among corporate borrowers.  Also, a robust domestic
economy creates pressure on wages for skilled workers.  There are certain
secular forces driving economic results including aging of baby-boomers, an
increase in the supply of investable funds, increased global competition and
increasing use of technology.  These forces impact JP in various ways such as
demand for its products (especially savings-oriented products), competition
for new investments, mergers and consolidations within the financial services
sector and costs inherent in administering complex financial products.

JP has grown at a rate faster than the overall industry because of
acquisitions, and its strong financial position, superior claims paying
ratings, and efforts to increase distribution sources.

Medical Trends

Medical inflation and utilization of medical services affect the profitability
of health products offered through the individual and group distribution
systems.  In the event that premium rates are not adequately adjusted in
anticipation of medical trends, profitability of health insurance products is
adversely affected.  JP has elected to non-renew its group medical coverages
beginning April 1999, but will continue to offer individual and group
disability insurance.

Environmental Liabilities

JP is exposed to environmental regulation and litigation as a result of 
ownership of investment real estate and Communications subsidiaries.  Actual
loss experience has been minimal and exposure to environmental losses is
considered by the Company to be insignificant.

Regulatory and Legal Environment

The U.S. insurance industry has experienced an increasing number of mergers,
acquisitions, consolidations and sales of business lines.  These activities
have been driven by a need to reduce costs of distribution and by the need to
increase economies of scale in the face of  growing competition from larger
foreign, domestic and mutual insurers, and from non-traditional players such
as banks, securities brokers and mutual funds.  Consolidation is expected to
continue and may be heightened by federal legislation.  HR 10 or some variant
will likely be passed in Congress, perhaps in 1999, and would allow banks,
insurance companies and investment banks to affiliate.

The Clinton Administration has recently recommended $34 billion in new
corporate taxes as part of its proposal for next year's budget, and has
targeted a substantial share of the new tax burden at the life insurance 
industry.  Several of the Administration's proposals which could impact JP
include:

1. An increase in the DAC tax on annuities and life insurance (e.g. life 
insurance companies are required to defer certain expenses, by formula,
attributable to premium revenues from the sale of these products).

2. A proposal to require recapture of policyholder surplus accounts as taxable
income over ten years.

3. A proposal to place an additional tax on companies that borrow for any
purpose if those companies also own life insurance, including key employee
insurance.

If adopted, item 1 would result in an increase in current tax liabilities but
would not impact earnings except for lost investment income on accelerated tax
payments.  Item 2 would result in approximately $37 million of additional tax
expense over ten years.  Item 3 would limit the attractiveness of life
insurance policies for corporate policyholders.  JP believes that life
insurers already pay higher effective tax rates than the average for corporate
America as a whole.  It is not possible to predict the outcome of the
Administration's proposals at this time.

Prescribed or permitted Statutory Accounting Principles (SAP) may vary
between states and between companies.  The NAIC has completed the process of
codifying SAP (Codification) to promote standardization of methods, and is
encouraging each state to adopt Codification as soon as possible, with a
proposed implementation date of January 1, 2001.  Related statutory accounting
changes are not expected to significantly impact the Company's statutory
capital requirements, although they are expected to reduce levels of statutory
capital industry wide.

Assessments by state guaranty associations are made to cover losses to 
policyholders of insolvent or rehabilitated insurance companies. Assessments
may be partially recovered through a reduction in future premium taxes in most
states.  The Company has accrued for expected assessments net of estimated
future premium tax deductions.

In recent years, the life insurance industry has experienced increased 
litigation in which large jury awards including punitive damages have
occurred.  See Note 19, which is incorporated herein by reference, for
discussion of the Company's contingent liabilities.

                     INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation
Greensboro, North Carolina

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998.
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
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (Dollar amounts in millions, except share information)
                                
                          December 31, 1998


Note 1.  Nature of Operations and Significant Transactions

Nature of Operations:  Jefferson-Pilot Corporation (the Company) operates in
the life insurance and communications industries.  Life insurance, accident
and health insurance and annuities are currently marketed to individuals
and businesses in the United States through the Company's principal life
insurance subsidiaries:  Jefferson-Pilot Life Insurance Company (JP Life),
Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company of America (AH Life) and its
subsidiary First Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company (FAHL) and
Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance Company (JP Financial, formerly named
Chubb Life Insurance Company of America) and its subsidiary, Jefferson Pilot
LifeAmerica Insurance Company (JPLA, formerly named Chubb Colonial Life
Insurance Company).  Chubb Sovereign Life Insurance Company, formerly a
subsidiary of JP Financial, was merged into JP Financial in 1998.
Communications operations are conducted by Jefferson-Pilot Communications
Company (JPCC) and consist of radio and television broadcasting, through
facilities located in strategically selected markets in the Southeastern and
Western United States, and sports program production.

Business Acquisitions:  In May 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding
shares of JP Financial from The Chubb Corporation (Seller).  JP Financial's
operations, principally universal life, variable universal life and term
insurance, are conducted nationwide through JP Financial and JPLA.  JP
Financial and its subsidiaries, as of the acquisition date, are collectively
referred to as "JP Financial."  Jefferson Pilot Securities Corporation
(formerly Chubb Securities Corporation) is a full service NASD registered
broker-dealer.  The cost of the acquisition consisted of $775 cash paid by JP
to Seller at closing, plus other acquisition costs.  In addition, JP
Financial paid a $100 special dividend to Seller which was funded through
liquidation of short-term investments.  The $775 was financed through the
liquidation of invested assets, various securities offerings (see Notes 8 and
9) and the issuance of commercial paper.  The acquisition, which was
effective as of April 30, 1997, was accounted for using the purchase method.
As a result, JP Financial's results of operations from May 1, 1997 forward
are included in the accompanying financial statements.  The purchase price was
subject to certain post-closing adjustments, none of which had a material
impact on the balance sheet or results of operations.  In 1998, the final
allocation of purchase price to JP Financial's tangible and identifiable
intangible assets and liabilities was completed, based on their fair values.
The resulting adjustments were not material.  The acquisition resulted in $163
of cost in excess of net assets acquired (i.e. goodwill) and $494 of value of
business acquired.  Goodwill arising from the acquisition is being amortized
over a period of 35 years.

The following pro-forma financial information has been prepared assuming that
the acquisition of JP Financial had taken place at the beginning of each year
presented:

                                                          ------     ------ 
     <S>                                                  <C>        <C>  
     Revenue                                              $2,690     $2,680
     Net income available to common stockholders             335        312
     Net income per common share                            3.16       2.93
     Net income per common share - assuming dilution        3.14       2.92
</TABLE>

On a pro-forma basis, net income available to common stockholders before
realized investment gains, net of income taxes, increased from $297 to $309
for 1997.  The pro-forma adjustments eliminate the effect of realized gains
on invested assets sold in 1997 to finance the JP Financial acquisition.
Thus, 1997 pro-forma realized gains and pro-forma net income available to
common stockholders are lower than actual 1997 results.
In January 1997, JPCC purchased substantially all of the broadcast assets of
a radio station in Denver, Colorado for $15 in cash.  This acquisition
resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $14.  In 1996, JPCC

                                   32
<PAGE>

purchased substantially all of the broadcast assets of two radio stations in
San Diego, California for $59 in cash, resulting in cost in excess of net
assets acquired of $26. All three acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases, and the results of operations of the acquisitions have been
included in the consolidated operations of the Company since the respective
dates of acquisition.  Pro-forma financial information for these acquisitions
has not been presented, as the pro-forma impact on consolidated operations for
1997 and 1996 is not significant.


Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP).  The insurance subsidiaries also submit financial statements to
insurance industry regulatory authorities.  Those financial statements are
prepared on the basis of statutory accounting practices (SAP) and are
significantly different from financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP.  See Note 12.  All share and per share amounts have been restated to
give retroactive effect to the April 1998 three-for-two common stock split.
See Note 10.

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and all of its subsidiaries. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting period.  Those estimates are
inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those
estimates.  Included among the material (or potentially material) reported
amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are asset
valuation allowances, policy liabilities, deferred policy acquisition costs,
value of business acquired and the potential effects of resolving litigated
matters.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  The Company includes with cash and cash
equivalents its holdings of highly liquid investments which mature within
three months of the date of acquisition.

Debt and Equity Securities:  Debt and equity securities are classified as
either securities held to maturity, stated at amortized cost, or securities
available for sale, stated at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses
included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income
taxes and adjustments to deferred policy acquisition costs and value of
business acquired.

Amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts on investments in debt
securities are reflected in earnings over the contractual terms of the
investments in a manner that produces a constant effective yield. Realized
gains and losses on dispositions of securities are determined by the
specific-identification method.

Mortgage and Policy Loans:  Mortgage loans on real estate are stated at unpaid
balances, net of allowances for unrecoverable amounts.  Policy loans are
stated at their unpaid balances.

                                   33
<PAGE>

Real Estate and Other Investments:  Real estate not acquired by foreclosure
is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Real estate acquired by
foreclosure is stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value minus
estimated costs to sell.  Real estate, primarily buildings, is depreciated
principally by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives generally
ranging from 30 to 40 years.  Accumulated depreciation was $39 and $38 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997.  Other investments are stated at equity, or the
lower of cost or market, as appropriate.

Property and Equipment:  Property and equipment, which is included in other
assets, is stated at cost and depreciated principally by the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives, generally 30 to 50 years for buildings
and approximately 10 years for other property and equipment.  Accumulated
depreciation was $144 and $133 at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired:  Costs
related to obtaining new business, including commissions, certain costs of
underwriting and issuing policies, certain agency office expenses, and first
year bonus interest on annuities, all of which vary with and are primarily
related to the production of new business, have been deferred.

Deferred policy acquisition costs for traditional life insurance policies are
amortized over the premium paying periods of the related contracts using the
same assumptions for anticipated premium revenue that are used to compute
liabilities for future policy benefits.  For universal life and annuity
products, these costs are amortized at a constant rate based on the present
value of the estimated future gross profits to be realized over the terms of
the contracts, not to exceed 25 years.

Value of business acquired represents the actuarially determined present value
of anticipated profits to be realized from life insurance and annuity business
purchased, using the same assumptions used to value the related liabilities.
Amortization of the value of business acquired occurs over the related
contract periods, using current crediting rates to accrete interest and a
constant amortization rate based on the present value of expected future
profits.

The carrying amounts of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of
business acquired are adjusted for the effect of realized gains and losses and
the effects of unrealized gains or losses on debt securities classified as
available for sale.  Both deferred policy acquisition costs and value of
business acquired are reviewed periodically to determine that the unamortized
portion does not exceed expected recoverable amounts.  No impairment
adjustments have been reflected in earnings of any year presented.

Cost in Excess of Net Assets Acquired:  Cost in excess of net assets acquired
(goodwill) is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 25 to 40
years.  Accumulated amortization was $21 and $14 at December 31, 1998 and
1997.  Carrying amounts are regularly reviewed for indications of value
impairment, with consideration given to financial performance and other
relevant factors.

Separate Accounts:  Separate account assets and liabilities represent funds
segregated by the Company for the benefit of certain policyholders who bear
the investment risk.  The separate account assets and liabilities, which are
equal, are recorded at fair value.  Policyholder account deposits and
withdrawals, investment income and realized investment gains and losses are
excluded from the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Fees charged on policyholders' deposits are included in other considerations.

                                   34
<PAGE>

Recognition of Revenue:  Premiums on traditional life insurance products are
reported as revenue when received unless received in advance of the due date.

Premiums on accident and health, and disability insurance are reported as
earned, over the contract period.  A reserve is provided for the portion of
premiums written which relates to unexpired coverage terms.

Revenue from universal life-type and annuity products includes charges for the
cost of insurance, for initiation and administration of the policy, and for
surrender of the policy.  Revenue from these products is recognized in the
year assessed to the policyholder, except that any portion of an assessment
which relates to services to be provided in future years is deferred and
recognized over the period during which services are provided.

Communications sales are presented net of agency and representative
commissions.  Concession income of the broker/dealer subsidiaries is recorded
as earned and is presented in other revenue.

Recognition of Benefits and Expenses:  Benefits and expenses, other than
deferred policy acquisition costs, related to traditional life, accident and
health, and disability insurance products are recognized when incurred in a
manner designed to match them with related premiums and spread income
recognition over expected policy lives.  For universal life-type and annuity
products, benefits include interest credited to policyholders' accounts, which
is recognized as it accrues.

Future Policy Benefits:  Liabilities for future policy benefits on traditional
life and disability insurance are computed by the net level premium valuation
method based on assumptions about future investment yield, mortality,
morbidity and persistency.  Estimates about future circumstances are based
principally on historical experience and provide for possible adverse
deviations.

Policyholder Contract Deposits:  Policyholder contract deposits consist of
policy values that accrue to holders of universal life-type contracts and
annuities.  The liability is determined using the retrospective deposit method
and consists of policy values that accrue to the benefit of the policyholder,
before deduction of surrender charges.

Policy and Contract Claims:  The liability for policy and contract claims
consists of the estimated amount payable for claims reported but not yet
settled and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported, which is based
on historical experience, adjusted for trends and circumstances.  Management
believes that the recorded liability is sufficient to provide for claims
incurred through the balance sheet date and the associated claims adjustment
expenses.

Reinsurance Balances and Transactions:  Reinsurance receivables include
amounts related to paid benefits and estimated amounts related to unpaid
policy and contract claims, future policy benefits and policyholder contract
deposits.  The cost of reinsurance is accounted for over the terms of the
underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to
account for the policies.

Stock Based Compensation:  The Company accounts for stock incentive awards in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for stock option awards
when the option price is not less than the market value of the stock at the
date of award.

Income Taxes:  The Company and most of its subsidiaries file a consolidated
life/nonlife federal income tax return.  Currently, AH Life and JP Financial
each file a separate consolidated return with their respective subsidiaries.
Deferred income taxes are recorded on the differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are reported in the
consolidated financial statements.  Recorded amounts are adjusted to reflect
changes in income tax rates and other tax law provisions as they become
enacted.

Reclassifications:  Certain amounts reported in prior years' consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentations
adopted in the current year.  These reclassifications have no effect on net
income or stockholders' equity of the prior years.

New Accounting Pronouncements:  As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted
SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which sets standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial
statements.  Adoption had no impact on the Company's net income or
stockholders' equity.  Comprehensive income consists of net income plus other
comprehensive income.  Under SFAS 130, one of the items included in other
comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses on available for sale
securities.  Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the requirements of SFAS 130.  See Note 17.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".  This pronouncement
superseded SFAS 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise".  SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports.  SFAS 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers.  The adoption of SFAS 131 did not
affect results of operations or financial position, but did affect the
disclosure of segment information.  See Note 16.

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and for Hedging Activities".  This pronouncement is effective for annual
periods beginning after June 15, 1999.  SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to
be recorded on the balance sheet and establishes accounting rules for hedging
activities.  The effect of the hedge accounting rules is to offset changes in
value or cash flows of both the hedge and hedged item in earnings in the same
period.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for
hedge accounting are reported in earnings in the period of the change.  Based
on the limited nature of the Company's use of derivatives and hedging
activities, adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

During 1998, the Company adopted SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use", which requires
capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or
obtaining internal use software.  The impact of adoption was not material.

Corporation of $500 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997.  Debt securities
considered less than investment grade approximated 4.5% and 5.4% of the total
debt securities portfolio as of December 31, 1998 and 1997.

The Company's mortgage loan portfolio is comprised primarily of conventional
real estate mortgages collateralized by retail (44%), apartment (15%),
industrial (13%), office (11%) and hotel (11%) properties.  Mortgage loan
underwriting standards emphasize the credit status of a prospective borrower,
quality of the underlying collateral and conservative loan-to-value
relationships.  Approximately 39% of stated mortgage loan balances as of
December 31, 1998 are due from borrowers in South Atlantic states and
approximately 23% are due from borrowers in West South Central states.  No
other geographic region represents as much as 10% of December 31, 1998
mortgage loans.

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the recorded investment in mortgage loans that
are considered to be impaired was $65 and $75.  Delinquent loans outstanding
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled $3 and $7.  The related allowance for
credit losses increased from $27 at December 31, 1997 to $31 at December 31,
1998 through a $4 charge to realized gains in 1998.  The average recorded
investment in impaired loans was $70, $78 and $79 during the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, on which interest income of $7, $8 and $8
was recognized.

Securities Lending:  The Company participates in a securities lending program.
The Company generally receives cash collateral in an amount that is in excess
of the market value of the securities loaned.  Market values of securities
loaned and collateral are monitored daily, and additional collateral is
obtained as necessary.  At December 31, 1998, the market value of securities
loaned and collateral received amounted to $239 and $250, respectively.  There
was no outstanding securities lending at December 31, 1997.

Note 5.  Derivatives

Use of Derivatives:  The Company's investment policy permits limited use
of derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps in certain
circumstances.  The following summarizes open interest rate swaps:

</TABLE>

Hedging Direct Investments:  Interest rate swaps are used to reduce the impact
of interest rate fluctuations on specific floating-rate direct investments.
Interest is exchanged periodically on the notional value, with the Company
receiving the fixed rate and paying various short-term LIBOR rates on a net
exchange basis.  The net amount received or paid under these swaps is
reflected as an adjustment to investment income.  For hedges of investments
classified as available for sale, net unrealized gains, net of the effects of
income taxes and the impact on deferred policy acquisition costs and the value
of business acquired, are not significant and are included in net unrealized
gains on securities available for sale in stockholders' equity as of December
31, 1998 and 1997.

Modifying Annuity Crediting Rates:  Interest rate swaps are used to modify the
interest characteristics of certain blocks of annuity contract deposits.
Interest is exchanged periodically on the notional value, with the Company
receiving a fixed rate and paying various short-term LIBOR rates on a net
exchange basis.  The net amount received or paid under these swaps is
reflected as an adjustment to insurance and annuity benefits.

Credit and Market Risk:  The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of
non-performance by counterparties to swap agreements.  The Company limits this
exposure by diversifying the counterparties used and by only using
counterparties with high credit ratings.

The Company's credit exposure on swaps is limited to the fair value of swap
agreements that are favorable to the Company.  The Company does not expect
any counterparty to fail to meet its obligation.  Currently, non-performance
by a counterparty would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

The Company's exposure to market risk is mitigated by the offsetting effects
of changes in the value of swap agreements and the related direct investments
and credited interest on annuities.  The Company routinely monitors
correlation between hedged items and hedging instruments.  In the event a

Note 7.  Policy Liabilities Information

Interest Rate Assumptions:  The liability for future policy benefits
associated with ordinary life insurance policies has been determined using
initial interest rate assumptions ranging from 2% to 9.9% and, when
applicable, uniform grading over 20 to 30 years to ultimate rates ranging from
2% to 6%.  Interest rate assumptions for weekly premium, monthly debit and
term life insurance products generally fall within the same ranges as those
pertaining to individual life insurance policies.

Credited interest rates for universal life-type products ranged from 3.8% to
6.85% in 1998, 4.0% to 7.5% in 1997 and 4.2% to 6.75% in 1996.  The average
credited interest rates for universal life-type products were 5.84%, 6.02%,
and 6.03% for 1998, 1997 and 1996.  For annuity products, credited interest
rates generally ranged from 4.0% to 8.15% in 1998, 4.0% to 9.25% in 1997 and
4.4% to 8.65% in 1996.

Mortality and Withdrawal Assumptions:  Assumed mortality rates are generally
based on experience multiples applied to select and ultimate tables commonly
used in the industry.  Withdrawal assumptions for individual life insurance
policies are based on historical company experience and vary by issue age,
type of coverage and policy duration.

For immediate annuities issued prior to 1987, mortality assumptions are based
on blends of the 1971 Individual Annuity Mortality Table and the 1969-71 U. S.
Life Tables.  For similar products issued after 1986, mortality assumptions
are based on blends of the 1983a and 1979-81 U. S. Life Tables.

The Company uses conservative estimates for determining its liability for
accident and health, and disability benefits, which are based on historical
claim payment patterns and attempt to provide for potential adverse changes
in claim patterns and severity.  Lower than anticipated claims resulted in
adjustments to the liability for accident and health, and disability benefits
in each of the years presented.

Note 8.  Debt and Exchangeable Securities

Commercial Paper and Revolving Credit Borrowings:  The Company has entered
into a bank credit agreement for $375 of unsecured revolving credit extending
through May 2002, under which the Company has the option to borrow at various
interest rates.  Since the establishment of a commercial paper arrangement in
1996, the credit agreement has principally supported the issuance of
commercial paper.  As of December 31, 1998, outstanding commercial paper had
various maturities, with none in excess of 90 days.  The Company can issue
commercial paper with maturities of up to 270 days.  If the Company is not
able to remarket its commercial paper on the respective maturity dates, the
Company intends to borrow a like amount under the credit agreement.  The
weighted-average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings outstanding of
$289 at December 31, 1998 was 5.61%.  The weighted-average interest rate for
$285 of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1997 was
6.02%.

Exchangeable Securities:  The Mandatorily Exchangeable Debt Securities (MEDS)
and Automatic Common Exchange Securities (ACES) are collectively referred to
as "Exchangeable Securities."

                                   45
<PAGE>

MEDS

In April and June 1997, the Company issued MEDS of $75 at 6.95% and $75 at
6.65%.  The MEDS are based on BankAmerica common stock.  Interest is payable
quarterly.  The MEDS mature January 10, 2002 and represent senior indebtedness
of the Corporation.

The MEDS had principal amounts of: 6.95% MEDS, $55.55 per security and 6.65%
MEDS, $66.625 per security.  Two weeks prior to, or at, maturity, the
principal amount of the MEDS will be mandatorily exchanged into either a
number of shares of the common stock of BankAmerica (stock) determined based
on an exchange rate reflecting the then trading price for the stock, or cash
in an amount of equal value, at the Company's option.  Subject to adjustments
to reflect dilution, the exchange rate is equal to (1) 0.8264 shares if the
stock price is at least: 6.95% MEDS, $67.22 and 6.65% MEDS, $80.62, (2) a
fractional share of the stock having a value equal to the principal amount if
the price is more than the principal amount but less than the amount stated
in (1), or (3) one share if the price is less than or equal to the principal
amount.

ACES

The Company has issued 1,815,000 unsecured 7.25% ACES due January 21, 2000,
having a principal amount of $72.50 per security.  In the 30 days prior to,
or at, maturity, the principal amount of the ACES will be mandatorily
exchanged into either (1) a number of shares of BankAmerica stock determined
based on an exchange rate reflecting the then trading price for the stock or
(2) cash in an amount of equal value.  Subject to adjustments to reflect
future dilution, the exchange rate is equal to (1) 1.66 shares if the stock
price is at least $43.50, (2)  fractional shares of the stock having a value
equal to $72.50 if the price is more than $36.25 but less than $43.50, or (3)
two shares if the price is not more than $36.25.

Carrying Value of Exchangeable Securities

The Exchangeable Securities are carried at fair value.  Changes in the
carrying value, net of deferred income taxes, are recorded in other
comprehensive income.  At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the combined carrying
value of the Exchangeable Securities was $325 and $327, based on the market
value of BankAmerica stock, which had a market value of $60.125 per share as
of year end 1998.

Interest:  Interest expense totaled $46 for 1998, $37 for 1997 and $39 for
1996.


Note 9.  Capital Securities and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

In January and March 1997, respectively, the Company privately placed $200 of
8.14% Capital Securities, Series A and $100 of 8.285% Capital Securities,
Series B.  The Capital Securities mature in the year 2046, but are redeemable
prior to maturity at the option of the Company beginning January 15, 2007.
The Capital Securities are supported by subordinated indebtedness of the
Company.

Mandatorily redeemable non-voting floating rate preferred stock (with a par
value of $100 per share) of subsidiaries authorized, issued and outstanding
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled 30,000 and 530,000 shares.  In April
1998, the holder of $50 preferred stock of AH Life redeemed the shares at par
plus accrued dividends.  The remaining $3 of mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock was issued in September 1996 related to the PPA recapture (Note 15),
and was repurchased and cancelled as of January 1, 1999.

Note 10.  Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock:  The Company has 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock
authorized (none issued) with the par value, dividend rights and other terms
to be fixed by the Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations on
voting rights.

Common Stock:  On February 9, 1998, the Board authorized a three-for-two
common stock split which was effected as a 50% stock dividend distributed on
April 13, 1998 to shareholders of record as of March 20, 1998.  The
split-adjusted value of fractional shares was paid in cash.  The par value of
additional shares issued, which totaled $44, was reclassified from retained
earnings to common stock.  All share and per share information gives
retroactive effect to the stock split.

Changes in the number of shares outstanding are as follows:

Shareholders' Rights Plan:  Under a shareholders' rights plan, one common share
purchase right is attached to each share of the Company's common stock.  The
plan becomes operative in certain events involving an offer for or the
acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's common stock by any person or
group.  Following such an event, each right, unless redeemed by the Board,
entitles the holder (other than the acquiring person or group) to purchase
for an exercise price of $235.00 an amount of common stock of the Company, or
in certain circumstances stock of the acquiring company, having a market value
of twice the exercise price.  Approximately 105 million shares of common stock
are reserved for the amended rights plan.  The rights expire on February 8,
2009 unless extended by the Board, and are redeemable by the Board at a price
of 0.44 cents per right at any time before they become exercisable.

Note 11.  Stock Incentive Plans

Long Term Stock Incentive Plan:  Under the Long Term Stock Incentive Plan
(Employees' Plan), a Committee of disinterested directors may award
nonqualified or incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights, and
make grants of the Company's stock, to employees of the Company and to life
insurance agents.  Stock grants may be either restricted stock or unrestricted
stock distributed upon the achievement of performance goals established by the
Committee.

A total of  6,109,001 shares are available for issuance pursuant to
outstanding or future awards under the Employees' Plan as of December 31,
1998.  The option price may not be less than the market value of the Company's
common stock on the date awarded.  Options are exercisable for periods
determined by the Committee, not to exceed ten years from the award date, and
vest immediately or over periods as determined by the Committee.  Awards of
restricted and unrestricted stock grants are limited to 10% of the total
shares reserved for the Plan.  The Employees' Plan will terminate as to
further awards on May 1, 2005, unless terminated by the Board at an earlier
date.

Non-Employee Directors' Plan:  Under the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option
Plan (Directors' Plan), 417,376 shares of the Company's common stock are
reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding or future awards as of December
31, 1998.  Nonqualified stock options are automatically awarded, at market
prices on specified award dates.  The options vest over a period of one to
three years, and terminate ten years from the date of award, but are subject
to earlier vesting or termination under certain circumstances.  The Directors'
Plan will terminate as to further awards on March 31, 1999.

Pro-Forma Information:  SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
requires the presentation of pro-forma information regarding net income and
earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock
options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method of
that Statement.  The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following

                                   48
<PAGE>

weighted-average assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996:  risk-free interest
rates of  5.8%, 6.2% and 5.9%; volatility factors of the expected market price
of the Company's common stock of 0.17; and a weighted-average expected life of
the options of  9.9 years for 1998, 7.7 years for 1997 and 10 years for 1996.  
Dividends were assumed to increase by 10% annually.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable.  In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's options.

For purposes of pro-forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.  The pro-forma
information follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Pro-forma earnings per share available to
 common stockholders - assuming dilution             $3.84     $3.43     $2.69

</TABLE>

Because the options generally vest over three years and because SFAS 123 is 
applicable only to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994,
1998 is the first year in which the full pro-forma effect is reflected.

Note 12.  Statutory Financial Information

The Company's life insurance subsidiaries prepare financial statements on the
basis of statutory accounting practices (SAP) prescribed or permitted by the
insurance departments of their states of domicile.  Prescribed SAP include a
variety of publications of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
(NAIC) as well as state laws, regulations and administrative rules.  Permitted
SAP encompass all accounting practices not so prescribed.  The impact of
permitted accounting practices on statutory capital and surplus is not
significant for the life insurance subsidiaries.

The principal differences between SAP and generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as they relate to the financial statements of the
subsidiaries are (1) policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred under
SAP, whereas they are deferred and amortized under GAAP, (2) the value of
business acquired is not capitalized under SAP but is under GAAP, (3) amounts
collected from holders of universal life-type and annuity products are
recognized as premiums when collected under SAP, but are initially recorded
as contract deposits under GAAP, with cost of insurance recognized as revenue
when assessed and other contract charges recognized over the periods for which
services are provided, (4) the classification and carrying amounts of
investments in certain securities are different under SAP than under GAAP,
(5) the criteria for providing asset valuation allowances, and the
methodologies used to determine the amounts thereof, are different under SAP
than under GAAP, (6) the timing of establishing certain reserves, and the
methodologies used to determine the amounts thereof, are different under SAP
than under GAAP, (7) no provision is made for deferred income taxes under SAP,
and (8) certain assets are not admitted for purposes of determining surplus
under SAP.

insurance subsidiaries determined on the basis of SAP to net income and

</TABLE>

Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements promulgated by the NAIC require life
insurers to maintain minimum capitalization levels that are determined based
on formulas incorporating credit risk pertaining to investments, insurance
risk, interest rate risk and general business risk.  As of December 31, 1998,
the life insurance subsidiaries' adjusted capital and surplus exceeded their
authorized control level RBC.

The NAIC Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (Codification) has
been completed.  The purpose of Codification is to create uniformity in
statutory financial reporting across states.  Codification must be adopted by
individual states before it will have any bearing on the statutory reporting
requirements of companies domiciled in a particular state.  The NAIC is
encouraging the states to adopt Codification as soon as possible, with an
implementation date of January 1, 2001.  The Company does not expect
implementation to have a material impact on statutory surplus of its insurance
subsidiaries; however, implementation is expected to result in a net
reduction of statutory surplus and RBC throughout the insurance industry.

The insurance statutes of the states of domicile limit the amount of dividends
that the life insurance subsidiaries may pay annually without first obtaining
regulatory approval.  Generally, the limitations are based on a combination
of statutory net gain from operations for the preceding year, 10% of statutory
surplus at the end of the preceding year, and dividends and distributions made
within the preceding twelve months.  Approximately $205 of dividends could be
paid by the life insurance subsidiaries in 1999 without regulatory approval.

Federal income tax returns for all years through 1994 are closed.  Tax years
1995 and 1996 are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service,
and no assessments have been proposed to date.   In the opinion of management,
recorded income tax liabilities adequately provide for all remaining open
years.

Under prior federal income tax law, one-half of the excess of a life insurance
company's income from operations over its taxable investment income was not
taxed, but was set aside in a special tax account designated as
"Policyholders' Surplus."  The Company has approximately $105 of untaxed
"Policyholders' Surplus" on which no payment of federal income taxes will be
required unless it is distributed as a dividend, or under other specified
conditions.  The current administration has proposed to tax, as part of its
1999 budget initiative, the "Policyholders' Surplus" over a ten year period.
No related deferred tax liability has been recognized for the potential tax
which would approximate $37 under the current proposal.

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors contributory health care and life insurance benefit plans
for eligible retired employees, qualifying retired agents and certain surviving
spouses.  The Company contributes to a welfare benefit trust from which future
benefits will be paid.  The Company accrues the cost of providing postretirement
benefits other than pensions during the employees' active service period.  The
non-pension postretirement expense was $1 in 1998, 1997 and 1996.

                                   52

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors defined contribution retirement plans covering most 
employees and full time agents.  The Company matches a portion of participant 
contributions and makes profit sharing contributions to a fund that acquires 
and holds shares of the Company's common stock.  Plan assets were invested 
under a group variable annuity contract issued by JP Life.  Expenses were 
$3, $4 and $3 during 1998, 1997 and 1996.


Note 15.  Reinsurance

The Company attempts to reduce its exposure to significant individual claims
by reinsuring portions of certain individual life insurance policies and
annuity contracts written.  The Company reinsures the portion of an individual
life insurance risk in excess of the Company's retention, which ranges from
$0.3 to $1.5 for various individual life and annuity products.  The Company
also attempts to reduce exposure to losses that may result from unfavorable
events or circumstances by reinsuring certain levels and types of accident
and health insurance risks underwritten.  The Company assumes portions of the
life and accident and health risks underwritten by certain other insurers on
a limited basis, but amounts related to assumed reinsurance are not
significant to the consolidated financial statements.

In 1995, the Company acquired AH Life and FAHL from Household International,
Inc. (Household).  AH Life and FAHL reinsured 100% of the PPA, COLI and
Affiliated credit insurance business written prior to their acquisition in
1995 with affiliates of Household on a coinsurance basis.  Balances are
settled monthly, and AH Life is compensated by the reinsurers for
administrative services related to the reinsured business.  On
September 30, 1996, the Company recaptured a portion of the PPA reinsurance
from affiliates of Household.  This recapture was completed by these
affiliates transferring approximately $463 of assets and $489 of reserves to
the Company.  The Company also established a $29 deferred tax asset on this
recapture, and issued $3 of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of one of
the Company's life insurance subsidiaries to Household.  The amount due from
reinsurers in the consolidated balance sheets includes $1,072 and $1,250 due
from the Household affiliates at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

Assets related to the reinsured PPA and COLI business have been placed in
irrevocable trusts formed to hold the assets for the benefit of AH Life and
FAHL and are subject to investment guidelines which identify (1) the types
and quality standards of securities in which new investments are permitted,
(2) prohibited new investments, (3) individual credit exposure limits and
(4) portfolio characteristics.  Household has unconditionally and irrevocably
guaranteed, as primary obligor, full payment and performance by its affiliated
reinsurers.  AH Life has the right to terminate the PPA and COLI reinsurance
agreements by recapture of the related assets and liabilities if Household
does not take a required action under the guarantee agreements within 90 days
of a triggering event.  AH Life has the option to terminate the PPA and COLI
reinsurance agreements on the seventh anniversary of the acquisition, by
recapturing the related assets and liabilities at an agreed-upon price or
their then current fair values as independently determined.

As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, JP Financial had a reinsurance recoverable
of $95 and $97 from a single reinsurer, pursuant to a 50% coinsurance
agreement.  JP Financial and the reinsurer are joint and equal owners in $191
and $195 of securities and short-term investments as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, 50% of which is included in investments in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.

Reinsurance contracts do not relieve an insurer from its primary obligation
to policyholders.  Therefore, the failure of a reinsurer that is party to a
contract with a subsidiary to discharge its reinsurance obligations could
result in a loss to the subsidiary.  The Company regularly evaluates the
financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit
risk related to reinsurance activities.  No significant credit losses have
resulted from the reinsurance activities of the subsidiaries during the three
years ended December 31, 1998.

Note 16.  Segment Information

The Company has four reportable segments which are defined based on the nature
of the products and services offered: Life Insurance Products, Annuity and
Investment Products (AIP), Communications, and Corporate and Other.  The Life
Insurance Products segment offers a wide array of life and health insurance
through captive agents (career and home service agency forces), independent
agents (recruited through independent marketing organizations and a regional
marketing network) and financial institutions, as well as offering group
insurance products for employers and their employees primarily in the South
and Southeast.  AIP offers fixed and variable annuities and investment
products through proprietary and independent agents, financial institutions,
investment professionals and broker-dealers.  The Communications segment
consists principally of radio and television broadcasting and sports program
production.  The Corporate and Other segment includes activities of the parent
company and passive investment affiliates, surplus of the life insurance
subsidiaries not otherwise allocated to reportable segments including earnings
thereon, and all of the Company's realized gains and losses.  Surplus is
allocated to the Life Insurance Products and AIP reportable segments based on
risk-based capital formulae which give consideration to asset/liability and
general business risks, as well as the Company's strategies for managing those
risks.  Various distribution channels and/or product classes related to the
Company's life insurance, annuity and investment products have been aggregated
in the Life Insurance and AIP reporting segments.

The segments are managed separately because of the different products,
distribution channels and marketing strategies each employs.  The Company
evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial
measure is operating income or loss, which excludes realized gains and losses.
The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 2).
Substantially all the Company's revenue is derived from sales within the
United States, and foreign assets are not material.  The following table
summarizes financial information regarding the Company's reportable segments:

</TABLE>

The fair values of cash, cash equivalents, balances due on account from agents,
reinsurers and others, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts
as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term
maturity or availability.  Assets and liabilities related to the Company's
separate accounts are reported at fair value in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.

The fair values of debt and equity securities have been determined from
nationally quoted market prices and by using values supplied by independent
pricing services and discounted cash flow techniques.  These fair values are
disclosed together with carrying amounts in Note 4.

The fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio has been estimated by
discounting expected future cash flows using the interest rate currently
offered for similar loans.

                                   56
<PAGE>

The fair value of policy loans outstanding for traditional life products has
been estimated using a current risk-free interest rate applied to expected
future loan repayments projected based on historical repayment patterns.  The
fair values of policy loans on universal life-type and annuity products
approximate carrying values due to the variable interest rates charged on
those loans.

Annuity contracts issued by the Company do not generally have defined
maturities.  Therefore, fair values of the Company's liabilities under annuity
contracts, the carrying amounts of which are included with policyholder
contract deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are
estimated to equal the cash surrender values of the underlying contracts.

The fair values of commercial paper and revolving credit borrowings
approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature.  Similarly,
the fair value of the liability for securities sold under repurchase
agreements approximates its carrying amount, which includes accrued interest.
With respect to the Exchangeable Securities, the fair value of the ACES is
based on its nationally quoted market price.  The fair value of the MEDS,
which are not publicly traded, is estimated based on the value holders would
have received had the MEDS been redeemable as of year end (which was derived
based on the market price of BankAmerica stock as of year end).

The fair value of the Capital Securities was determined based on market
quotes for the securities.

The fair value of the Company's mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
approximates its stated amount because its dividend rate is adjustable.

Interest rate swaps that hedge direct investments classified as available for
sale are recorded at fair value (1998 - gain of $11; 1997 - gain of $5) and
are included in the carrying value of debt securities available for sale.  The
fair value of interest rate swaps that hedge direct investments classified as
held to maturity and that hedge annuity contract deposits (1998 - gain of $2;
1997 - gain of $1) have not been recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.


Note 19.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Company routinely enters into commitments to extend credit in the form of
mortgage loans and to purchase certain debt instruments for its investment
portfolio in private placement transactions. The fair value of outstanding
commitments to fund mortgage loans and to acquire debt securities in private
placement transactions, which are not reflected in the consolidated balance
sheet, approximates $148 as of December 31, 1998.

The Company leases electronic data processing equipment and field office space
under noncancelable operating lease agreements.  The lease terms generally
range from three to five years.  Neither annual rent nor future rental
commitments are significant.

JPCC has commitments for purchases of syndicated television programming and
future sports programming rights  of approximately $121 as of December 31,
1998.  These commitments are not reflected as an asset or liability in the
accompanying 1998 consolidated balance sheet because these programs are not
currently available for use.

JP Life is a defendant in a proposed class action suit, and AH Life is a
defendant in a separate proposed class action suit.  Each suit alleges
deceptive practices, fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation and breach of
contract in the sale of certain life insurance policies using policy
illustrations which plaintiffs claim were misleading.  Unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages, costs and equitable relief are sought in each case.
While management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or
range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome in either or both
cases, management believes that it has made appropriate disclosures to
policyholders as a matter of practice, and intends to vigorously defend its
position.

                                   57
<PAGE>

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties
to various lawsuits.  Because of the considerable uncertainties that exist,
the Company cannot predict the outcome of pending or future litigation.
However, management believes that the resolution of pending legal proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
or liquidity, although it could have a material adverse effect on the results
of operations for a specific period.

Undertakings

        For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules
governing Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be
incorporated by reference into registrant's Registration Statements on
Form S-8 Nos. 2-36778 (filed March 23, 1970) and 2-56410 (filed May 12, 1976)
and 33-30530 (filed August 15, 1989), and in outstanding effective
registration statements on Form S-16 included in such S-8 filings:

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
   the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
   indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
   Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
   event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
   (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
   paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
   in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
   asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
   connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
   will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
   settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
   jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
   against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
   by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                  SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

a.  Cost of debt securities is original cost, reduced by repayments
    and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of
    discounts.  Cost of equity securities is original cost.  Cost of
    mortgage loans on real estate and policy loans represents
    aggregate outstanding balances.  Cost of real estate acquired by
    foreclosure is the originally capitalized amount, reduced by
    applicable depreciation.  Cost of other real estate held for
    investment is depreciated original cost.

b.  Differences between amounts reflected in Column B or Column C
    and amounts at which shown in the consolidated balance sheet
    reflected in Column D result from the application of  SFAS 115,
    Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
    Securities.  A portion of bonds and debt securities are recorded
    as investments held to maturity at amortized cost and a portion
    are recorded as investments available for sale at fair value.

c.  Differences between cost reflected in Column B and amounts at
    which shown in the consolidated balance sheet reflected in
    Column D result from valuation allowances.

Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and Subsidiaries
Schedule II- Note to Condensed Financial Statements
of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying financial statements comprise a condensed
presentation of financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation (the "Company") on a
separate-company basis.  These condensed financial statements do
not include the accounts of the Company's majority-owned
subsidiaries, but instead include the Company's investment in
those subsidiaries, stated at amounts which are equal to the Company's
equity in the subsidiaries' net assets. Therefore the accompanying
financial statements are not those of the primary reporting entity.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries are included in the Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.


Additional information about (1) accounting policies pertaining to
investments and other significant accounting policies applied by
the Company and its subsidiaries, (2) debt and (3) commitments
and contingent liabilities are as set forth in Notes 2, 8 and 19,
respectively, to the consolidated financial statements of Jefferson-Pilot
Corporation and subsidiaries which are included in the Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
