Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Description of Business
Incorporated by reference, Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1993, pages 17, 29, 55 and 56.
Insurance Regulation. Like other insurance companies, the Registrant's subsidiaries are subject to regulation and supervision by the Florida Insurance Department, as well as other insurance departments of each jurisdiction in which they are licensed to do business. These supervisory agencies have broad administrative powers relating to the granting and revocation of licenses to transact business, the licensing of agents, the approval of policy forms, reserve requirements and the form and content of required financial statements. As to its investments, each of the Registrant's insurance subsidiaries must meet the standards and tests established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and, in particular, the investment laws and regulations of the Florida Insurance Department. The insurance companies are also subject to laws in most states that require solvent insurance companies to pay guaranty fund assessments to protect the interests of policyholders of insolvent insurance companies.
In December, 1991, the NAIC adopted two new reserve requirements (the Asset Valuation Reserve or "AVR" and the Interest Maintenance Reserve or "IMR") to replace the former Mandatory Securities Valuation Reserve or "MSVR." These reserves are generally required by state insurance regulatory authorities to be established as a liability on a life insurer's statutory financial statements beginning with the 1992 annual statement, but do not affect financial statements of the Registrant prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. AVR establishes a statutory reserve for mortgage loans and investments in real estate, as well as for the types of investments (i.e., fixed maturities and common and preferred stock) that have been subject to the MSVR. AVR generally captures all realized and unrealized gains and losses on such assets, other than those resulting from changes in interest rates. IMR captures the net gains that are realized upon the sale of fixed income securities (bonds, preferred stocks, mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans) and that result from changes in the overall level of interest rates, and amortizes these net realized gains into income over the remaining life of each investment sold, thus limiting the ability of an insurer to enhance statutory surplus by taking gains on fixed income securities. The implementation of the IMR and AVR has not had a material impact on the Registrant's life insurance subsidiary's surplus nor on its ability to pay dividends to the Registrant.
In recent years, the NAIC has approved several regulatory initiatives designed to decrease the risk of insolvency of insurance companies in general. These initiatives include the implementation of a risk-based capital formula for determining adequate levels of capital and surplus and further restrictions on an insurance company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders. Florida has adopted the risk-based capital requirements and has recently revised its dividend limitation policy.
Under NAIC's risk-based capital (RBC)initiatives, life insurance companies must calculate and report information under a risk-based capital formula, beginning with their year-end 1993 statutory financial statements. (Property/Casualty companies must implement a different risk-based capital formula in their 1994 year-end statutory filings). This RBC information is intended to permit insurance regulators to identify and require remedial action for inadequately capitalized insurance companies. The NAIC initiatives provide for four levels of potential involvement by state regulators for inadequately capitalized insurance companies, ranging from regulatory control of the insurance company to a requirement for the insurance company to submit a plan to improve its capital. The life insurance subsidiary's surplus exceeds the authorized control level risk-based capital by approximately $80 million. Holdings in common stock require considerably more risk-based capital similar monies been invested in bonds. However, investment decisions are driven principally by long-term economic considerations and not altered to produce more attractive risk-based capital results. The subsidiary believes that over the long-term, the total return on equities outperforms that on debt security investments. It sells options against select holdings in the equity portfolio to generate realized investment gains and further enhance current yield and total return. Such net gains totaled $1.8 million in 1993.
Another NAIC Model Act provision limits dividends that may be paid in any calendar year without regulatory approval to the lesser of (i) 10% of the insurer's statutory surplus at the prior year-end, or (ii) the statutory net gain from operations of the insurer (excluding realized capital gains and losses) for the prior calendar year. The NAIC has determined that it will not grant accreditation to any state insurance regulatory authority in a state that has not enacted statutes "substantially similar" to the NAIC Model Act regulating the payment of dividends by insurers. Under current Florida law, without prior approval from the Florida Commissioner of Insurance and conditional that insurers maintain at least 115 percent of required risk- based capital after the payment of dividends, the maximum allowable dividend in 1994 is $16 million.
In accordance with the rules and practices of the NAIC and in accordance with state law, every insurance company is examined generally once each three years by examiners from its state of domicile and from several of the other states where it is licensed to do business. The most recent examinations for all the Registrant's insurance subsidiaries were for the year ending December 31, 1992.

The Registrant has been informed that holders of more than 90% of the voting stock of the Registrant have entered into an Agreement (the "No Transfer Agreement") prohibiting the parties thereto from transferring shares of voting stock held by them except under certain circumstances. The excepted transfers include: (i) transfers pursuant to an offer which has been approved or recommended by the Board of Directors of the Registrant, (ii) transfers pursuant to the written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of voting stock subject to the No Transfer Agreement and, (iii) transfers to the Registrant pursuant to the Exchange Agreement referred to in Item 12. The No Transfer Agreement has an initial term ending on November 10, 1996, renewable for two additional five-year terms by vote of the holders of a majority of the voting stock subject thereto prior to the expiration of each successive term.
The restrictions on transfer of voting stock imposed by the No Transfer Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, restrictions on such transfers imposed by the Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant.

(1) Limited by maximum five year average (2) Limited by maximum annual benefit limit
(ii)(A)The Plan uses the average of an individual highest consecutive five years of earnings as a basis upon which to calculate benefits. Since earnings which can be credited under a defined benefit plan are limited, there is an effective limit on what this five year average can be. Tax limits have been as follows:
1989 200,000 1990 209,200 1991 222,220 1992 228,860 1993 235,840
This provides a maximum five year average of $219,224. Each year a maximum limitation is placed on the benefits which can be received from a plan. For 1993 this limit was $115,641. For purposes of tax calculations, an individual is assumed to have retired on December 31, 1993 at age 65. Amounts are annual income, straight life basis.
(B) The years of service for named executive officers are: Wilford C. Lyon, Jr., 35; Jacob F. Bryan IV, 27; Boyd E. Lyon, Sr., 32; Kendall G. Bryan, 24; Guy Marvin, III, 14 and G. Howard Bryan, 60.
(C) Under the plan, eligible employees are entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at normal retirement age (65 to 67 depending on participants' year of birth) equal to the sum of: (1) 1.6% of average earnings of the highest five years multiplied by number of years of service not to exceed 35 years; and (2) .75% of average earnings in excess of Social Security wages multiplied by number of years of service, not to exceed 35 years.
(g) All directors who are not employees of the Registrant or one of its subsidiaries receive $1,000 for each board meeting that the director attends, $250 for each telephone meeting the director participates in and $250 for each committee meeting of the Board that the non-employee director attends.
(j)(2)The Registrant uses the Hay point-factor job evaluation system which applies to all employees, including the Chief Executive Officer and executive officers. Each year the CEO selects members of the Board of Directors to evaluate his performance. During the last fiscal year, these members were Jacob F. Bryan, IV, Boyd E. Lyon, Sr. and Kendall G. Bryan. Overall increases, which are tied to performance evaluations and the evaluation system, are approved by the full Board. The CEO evaluates all other named executive officers. For the year 1993, the salaries of the CEO and the other named executive officers were reduced 5%-7%.

Item 13.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
(a)The Registrant's subsidiary, The Independent Life and Accident Insurance Company ("Independent Life"), employs Carter B. Bryan as a manager of its general agency insurance operations, and in 1993 compensated Mr. Bryan $40,715 in salaries associated with his position. In addition, Mr. Bryan received commissions on personal insurance sales and overwrites from the sales of other agents he manages. Much of these operations involved the sale of Independent Life's small employer group insurance products, a line of business Independent Life has taken steps to withdraw from effective June 30, 1994. Independent Marketing Group, Inc. and Independent Life have worked closely to find replacement coverage for all terminated policyholders with another insurance carrier.
(b)The commissions and overwrites described above are paid to Independent Marketing Group, Inc., an entity owned by Mr. Bryan and his wife. The Registrant believes that $263,329 paid to this entity in 1993 by the Registrant exceeds five percent of the entity's gross revenues for the year. Independent Marketing Group, Inc., markets products of Independent Life and other insurance companies. Independent Life supplies office space to Mr. Bryan, which is used both by Mr. Bryan in his employment as manager of its general agency insurance operations and by Independent Marketing Group, Inc.
