ALFA CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002
 
1.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary of the more significant accounting policies related to the Company’s business is set forth in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For purposes of this report, the Company has defined operating income as income excluding net realized investment gains, net of related tax effects. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previous classifications to June 30, 2002 classifications and descriptions.
 
2.    Pooling Agreement
 
Effective August 1, 1987, the Company entered into a property and casualty insurance Pooling Agreement (the “Pooling Agreement”) with Alfa Mutual Insurance Company (Mutual), and other members of the Mutual Group (See Note 3). On January 1, 2001, Alfa Specialty Insurance Corporation (Specialty), a subsidiary of Mutual, also became a participant in the Pooling Agreement. The Mutual Group is a direct writer primarily of personal lines of property and casualty insurance in Alabama. The Company’s subsidiaries similarly are direct writers in Georgia and Mississippi. Both the Mutual Group and the Company write preferred risk automobile, homeowner, farmowner and mobile home insurance, fire and allied lines, standard risk automobile and homeowner insurance, and a limited amount of commercial insurance, including church and businessowner insurance. Specialty is a direct writer primarily of nonstandard risk automobile insurance. Under the terms of the Pooling Agreement, the Company cedes to Mutual all of its property and casualty business. Substantially all of the Mutual Group’s direct property and casualty business (together with the property and casualty business ceded by the Company) is included in the pool. Mutual currently retrocedes 65% of the pool to the Company and retains 35% within the Mutual Group. Effective January 1, 2001, Specialty’s property and casualty business likewise became included in the pool. On October 1, 1996, the Pooling Agreement was amended in conjunction with the restructuring of the Alfa Insurance Group’s catastrophe protection program. Effective November 1, 1996, the allocation of catastrophe costs among the members of the pool was changed to better reflect the economics of catastrophe finance. The amendment limited Alfa Corporation’s participation in any single catastrophic event or series of storms to its pool share (65%) of a lower catastrophe pool limit unless the loss exceeded an upper catastrophe pool limit. In cases where the upper catastrophe limit is exceeded on a

100% basis, the Company’s share in the loss would be based upon its amount of surplus relative to other members of the group. Lower and upper catastrophe pool limits are adjusted periodically due to increases in insured property risks. The limits and participation levels since inception of the program are summarized below:

The Company incurred $5.2 million in storm losses in the second quarter of 2002 resulting in a reduction in the Company’s net income of approximately $0.04 per diluted share, after reinsurance and taxes. No catastrophe losses were incurred in the first quarter of 2002. The Company also incurred $7.4 million in storm losses in the first quarter of 2001 which reduced the Company’s net income by approximately $0.06 per diluted share, after reinsurance and taxes. No catastrophe losses were incurred in the second quarter of 2001.
 
3.    Contingent Liabilities
 
The property and casualty subsidiaries have entered into the reinsurance pooling agreement with Alfa Mutual Insurance Company and its affiliates as discussed in Note 2. Should any member of the affiliated group be unable to meet its obligation on a claim for a policy written by the Company’s property and casualty subsidiaries, the obligation to pay the claim would remain with the Company’s subsidiaries.
 
The liability for estimated unpaid property and casualty losses and loss adjustment expenses is based upon an evaluation of reported losses and on estimates of incurred but not reported losses. Adjustments to the liability based upon subsequent developments are included in current operations.

Certain legal proceedings are in process at June 30, 2002. Costs for these and similar legal proceedings, including accruals for outstanding cases, totaled $3.0 million in the first six months of 2002, $930,000 in 2001, and $3.0 million in 2000. These proceedings involve alleged breaches of contract, torts, including bad faith and fraud claims, and miscellaneous other causes of action. These lawsuits involve claims for mental anguish and punitive damages. Approximately 17 legal proceedings against Alfa Life Insurance Corporation (Life) were in process at June 30, 2002. Of the 17 proceedings, five were filed in 2002, three were filed in 2001, one was filed in 2000, six were filed in 1999, one was filed in 1997, and one was filed in 1996. In a case tried in January 2001, in Barbour County, Alabama, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff against Life for $500,000 in compensatory damages and $5,000,000 in punitive damages. After Life filed post-trial motions, the trial court reduced the punitive damage award to $1,500,000. Life has appealed the award to the Alabama Supreme Court. In a case tried in December 2001, in Bullock County, Alabama, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs against Life for $300,000 in compensatory damages and $3,000,000 in punitive damages. After Life filed post-trial motions, the trial court reduced the punitive damage award to $900,000. Life has appealed the award to the Alabama Supreme Court. Two of the 17 pending legal proceedings against Life have been certified as class actions by the trial court in each case. After the trial court certified the first class action against Life, Life appealed the class certification order to the Alabama Supreme Court. In November 2001, the Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court, decertified the class, and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The trial court has again certified the class and Life has appealed the certification to the Alabama Supreme Court. The recent trial court order certifying the second class action has been appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court. In addition, one purported class action lawsuit is pending against both Alfa Builders, Inc. and Alfa Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Additionally, five purported class action lawsuits are pending against the property and casualty mutual companies involving a number of issues and allegations which could affect the Company because of a pooling agreement between the companies. No class has been certified in any of these six purported class action cases. In addition, Alfa Insurance Corporation and Alfa General Insurance Corporation were recently served with a purported class action in the State of Georgia, alleging the two corporations improperly refused to evaluate and refused to pay diminution in value respecting automobile first-party physical damage claims. It should be noted that in Alabama, where the Company has substantial business, the likelihood of a judgment in any given suit, including a large mental anguish and/or punitive damage award by a jury, bearing little or no relation to actual damages, continues to exist, creating the potential for unpredictable material adverse financial results.
 
Based upon information presently available, contingent liabilities arising from any other threatened litigation are not presently considered by management to be material.
 
The Company periodically invests in partnerships that invest in affordable housing tax credits. At June 30, 2002, the Company had committed to fund a partnership of this type in the amount of approximately $8.0 million.

5.    Acquisition of Commercial Lease Portfolio
 
During the first quarter of 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement and completed the transaction to acquire the leasing portfolio and assets of OFC Capital (OFC), an Atlanta-based business unit of First Liberty Bank, that provides financing for commercial equipment leases. The transaction involved a cash purchase price of approximately $23.1 million, which is primarily for the portfolio of leases. OFC operates as a business unit of Alfa Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company. OFC’s operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 resulted in income of approximately $214,000 including a loss of approximately $96,000 in the second quarter primarily due to increased reserves associated with the lease portfolio purchased in November 2001 from the Manufacturing and Machine Tool Finance Division of Textron Financial Corporation.
 
6.    Note Payable and Interest Rate Swap Contract
 
The Company uses variable-rate debt to partially fund its consumer loan and commercial lease portfolios. In particular, it has issued variable-rate long-term debt and commercial paper. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases.
 
As part of its funding efforts, the Company issued a $70 million long-term obligation with a life of fifteen years in the second quarter of 2002. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. It is the Company’s objective to hedge 100 percent of its variable-rate long-term interest payments over the first five years of the life of the debt obligation.

11

Table of Contents
 
(Note 6. Continued)
 
To meet this objective, management entered into an interest rate swap to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. The interest rate swap changes the variable-rate cash flow exposure of the variable-rate long term debt obligation to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into a receivable-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap. Under the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating fixed-rate long-term debt.
 
The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. That is, the Company does not speculate using derivative instruments in the normal course of business.
 
The Company assesses interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
 
The Company maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both the Company’s outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as the Company’s offsetting hedge position. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s future cash flows.
 
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 includes no gains or losses from the interest rate swap. Changes in fair value of the interest rate swap designated as a hedging instrument of the variability of cash flows associated with floating-rate, long-term debt obligation are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The interest rate swap involves a LIBOR for LIBOR exchange and meets the criteria for short-cut accounting. Therefore, the interest rate swap has no ineffectiveness, thereby eliminating the reclassification of this amount to interest expense in subsequent periods.
 
7.    Financial Accounting Developments
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” in June 1998. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in investment securities and other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative are included in either earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the intended use of the derivative instrument. This standard, as amended by SFAS No. 137, became effective for the Company January 1, 2001. During, 2001, the Company recorded approximately $229,000, net of tax, as the effect upon adoption of this standard.
 
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (a replacement of SFAS No. 125)” in September 2000. This standard became effective April 1, 2001. At this time, the Company does not anticipate this standard having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.

12

Table of Contents
 
(Note 7. Continued)
 
The FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in June 2001. These standards became effective July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively. Based on current information available and the fact that the Company has not engaged in material transactions covered by these standards, the Company does not anticipate these standards having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” Subsequently, in August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” While SFAS No. 143 has not yet become effective, SFAS No. 144 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. At this time, the Company does not anticipate either of these standards having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and “Technical Corrections,” in April 2002. At this time, the Company does not anticipate this standard having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
8.    Stock Split
 
On April 25, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split to be effected as a 100% stock dividend. The new shares were issued on June 17, 2002 to stockholders of record on June 3, 2002. Financial statements presented for 2002 within this filing reflect the impact of the stock split. Financial statements for prior periods reflect the impact of the stock split only in share and per share disclosures.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Alfa Corporation:
 
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Alfa Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Alfa Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, cash flows and comprehensive income for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

increased 11% in the first six months of 2002 while invested assets have grown 6.0% in the six months since December 31, 2001.
 
Operating income increased by 11% in the property casualty subsidiaries due primarily to a reduction in storm losses during the first six months of 2002. The 17% decrease in operating income in the life subsidiary is largely due to increases made in legal reserves of $2.2 million. Noninsurance operations were up 46% due to earnings growth from the finance, construction and benefit services subsidiaries. An improved interest rate spread led to an increase in operating income of approximately $219,000 in the finance subsidiary. Construction income increased $166,000 due to higher levels of commercial construction activity. Operating earnings of Alfa Benefits Corporation increased approximately $342,000 due to a reduction in benefit liabilities during the second quarter.
 
The Company’s net income was slightly impacted by an increase in realized investment gains. Corporate expenses decreased in the first half of 2002 due to significantly lower borrowing costs resulting from a decline in interest rates.

Earned premiums increased 8% in the second quarter and 7% for the first six months of 2002 due to greater automobile and homeowner production and the positive impact of homeowner rate increases which took effect in November 2001. Continued good persistency in the automobile and homeowner lines also contributed to premium increases.
 
The overall loss ratio increased to 63.0% for the first two quarters of 2002 as the ratio climbed to 65.3% for the second quarter following $5.2 million in storm losses. Approximately $7.4 million of storm losses were incurred in the first quarter of 2001. No storm losses were recorded in the second quarter of 2001. Loss adjustment expenses in the first six months of 2002 were 4.5% of earned premiums compared to 4.0% in the same period of 2001 when a reduction in loss adjustment expense reserves was recorded following a review of reserve levels. The increase in business resulting from the mandatory insurance law becoming effective in Alabama in June 2000 has not resulted in the emergence of additional claims cost at the anticipated levels. Consequently, reserves were adjusted in the first quarter of 2001 to a more normal level. Another factor in the relatively stable underwriting margin was a decrease in the expense ratio from 2001 levels despite additional expenses related to the Company’s implementation of new financial reporting systems.
 
Net investment income increased 13% in the first six months of 2002 in the property casualty subsidiaries due to continued positive cash flow from profitable underwriting results which increased invested assets 10.4% since June 30, 2001.

The Company’s life insurance premiums and policy charges increased 11% in the first six months of 2002 due to new business and good persistency. First year collected premiums increased over 15% in the first six

Table of Contents
months of 2002 due to continued sales growth of term products introduced over the last two years. Total new annualized premium increased 5.0% in the first half of 2002 and 8.7% in all of 2001.
 
Life insurance operating income decreased approximately 17% in the first six months of 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of expenses related to increases in legal reserves of $2.2 million. The mortality ratio of actual to expected death claims decreased to 86% in the first six months of 2002 from 107% in the first two quarters of 2001. Despite the decline in earnings, positive cash flows resulted in a 9.0% increase in invested assets while investment income increased approximately 1%.
 
NONINSURANCE OPERATIONS
 
Noninsurance operations were up 46% due primarily to improved operating results in the finance, construction and benefit services subsidiaries. More favorable interest rate spreads contributed to an increase in net income of approximately $219,000 from the finance subsidiary. Operating income from the construction subsidiary increased by approximately $166,000 in the first half of 2002 due to higher levels of commercial construction activity. While income from the Company’s subsidiary covering certain employee benefits increased by over $342,000 to approximately $477,000, earnings from the real estate subsidiary was down $112,000 in the first six months of 2002 from the same period in 2001 due largely to tighter profit margins.
 
CORPORATE
 
Corporate expenses decreased 31%, or approximately $671,000, due primarily to lower interest expense related to the Company’s commercial paper borrowing. Favorable trends in short-term interest rates allowed the Company’s interest expense to decline significantly from levels experienced in the first half of 2001.
 
INVESTMENTS
 
The Company has historically produced positive cash flow from operations which has resulted in increasing amounts of funds available for investment and, consequently, higher investment income. Investment income is also affected by yield rates. Information about cash flows, invested assets and yield rates is presented below for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

The positive cash flow from operations is due primarily to the improved operating results in the Company’s property and casualty subsidiaries, which had $15.6 million in underwriting income in the first two quarters of 2002 which was somewhat offset by the decline in profitability of the Company’s life subsidiary, which had $8.6 million in operating income in the same period. The premium from the COLI plan in the life insurance subsidiary is collected in February and provided positive cash flow in the first quarter of both periods. Net increases in cash resulting from increased borrowings were primarily used to support growth in the loan and lease portfolios of the finance subsidiary. As a result of the overall positive cash flows from operations, invested assets grew 6.0% since January 1, 2002 and 11.0% since June 30, 2001 (based on amortized cost, which excludes the impact of SFAS 115), and net investment income increased 11.2%. In addition to the increased investment income created by positive cash flow from operations, the Company also had improved

Table of Contents
investment income results from its finance subsidiary of approximately $219,000 from its consumer loan and commercial lease portfolios. The overall yield rate, calculated using amortized cost, remained relatively unchanged at 6.7%. The Company had net realized investment gains of approximately $1.2 million in the first six months of both 2002 and 2001, respectively. These net gains are primarily from sales of equity securities. Such realized gains are the result of market conditions and therefore can fluctuate from period to period.

The majority of the Company’s investment portfolio consists of fixed maturities which are diverse as to both industry and geographic concentration. Since year-end, the overall mix of investments has remained relatively stable with changes due to a shift from short term investments to fixed maturities and to market value fluctuations in fixed maturities.
 
The rating of the Company’s portfolio of fixed maturities using the Standard & Poor’s rating categories is as follows at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001:

The fixed maturity portfolio was rated by an outside rating service. No securities were rated by Company management. The Company considers bonds with a quality rating of BB+ and below to be below investment grade or high yield bonds (also called junk bonds).
 
At June 30, 2002, approximately 35.4% of fixed maturities were mortgage-backed securities. Such securities are comprised of Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO’s) and pass through securities. Based on reviews of the Company’s portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, the impact of prepayment risk on the Company’s financial position is not believed to be significant. At June 30, 2002, the Company’s total portfolio of fixed

19

Table of Contents
maturities had gross unrealized gains of $54,080,113 and gross unrealized losses of $ 8,434,665. Securities are priced by nationally recognized pricing services or by broker/dealer securities firms. No securities were priced by the Company.
 
During the first six months of 2002, the Company sold approximately $10.9 million in fixed maturities available for sale. These sales resulted in gross realized gains of $363,597 and gross realized losses of $3,976,523. During the same period in 2001, the Company sold approximately $21.0 million in fixed maturities available for sale. These sales resulted in gross realized gains of $115,669 and gross realized losses of $548,624.
 
The Company monitors its level of investments in high yield fixed maturities and equity investments held in issuers of high yield debt securities. Management believes the level of such investments is not significant to the Company’s financial condition. At June 30, 2002, the Company had unrealized gains of approximately $2.8 million in such investments. During the first six months of 2002, the Company recognized a net loss of $3,435,342 on disposals of high yield debt securities. No such disposals occurred in the same period of 2001.
 
In the first six months of 2002, the Company wrote down four equities totaling $634,141, whose declines in value were deemed to be other than temporary and were recorded as a reduction in realized investment gains.
 
The Company’s investment in other long term investments consists primarily of consumer loans and commercial leases originated by the finance subsidiary. These loans and leases are collateralized by automobiles, equipment and other property. At June 30, 2002, the delinquency ratio on the loan portfolio was 1.35%, down from 1.78% at December 31, 2001. The delinquency ratio on the lease portfolio at June 30, 2002 was 4.84%, up from 4.37% at December 31, 2001. Credit losses of approximately $500,000 were incurred in the first six months of 2002 including an increase of approximately $116,000 in general reserves attributable to growth of the consumer loan portfolio. Leases charged off in the first two quarters of 2002 were approximately $300,000. At June 30, 2002, the Company maintained an allowance for loan losses of $1,096,110 or approximately 1.2% of the outstanding loan balance. In addition, at June 30, 2002, the Company maintained an allowance for lease losses of $1,895,142 or approximately 2.6% of the outstanding lease balance. Other significant long term investments include assets leased under operating leases, partnership investments and certain other investments.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2002 was 27.1% compared to 28.7% for the full year 2001 and 28.6% for the first six months of 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first six months of 2002 is due primarily to credits arising from an amended income tax return. The effective rate has also been impacted by increased tax preference credits on certain investments. Based on information available at June 30, 2002, the Company currently anticipates the effective tax rate for all of 2002 to be approximately 27.2%.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
 
Inflation increases consumers’ needs for both life and property and casualty insurance coverage. Inflation increases claims incurred by property and casualty insurers as property repairs, replacements and medical expenses increase. Such cost increases reduce profit margins to the extent that rate increases are not maintained on an adequate and timely basis. Since inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, financial results have not been significantly impacted by inflation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
The Company receives funds from its subsidiaries consisting of dividends, payments for funding federal income taxes, and reimbursement of expenses incurred at the corporate level for the subsidiaries. These funds are used for paying dividends to stockholders, corporate interest and expenses, federal income taxes, and for funding additional investments in its subsidiaries’ operations.
 
The Company’s subsidiaries require cash in order to fund policy acquisition costs, claims, other policy benefits, interest expense, general operating expenses, and dividends to the Company. The major sources of the Company’s liquidity are operations and cash provided by maturing or liquidated investments. A significant portion of the Company’s investment portfolio consists of readily marketable securities which can be sold for cash. Based on a review of the Company’s matching of asset and liability maturities and on the interest sensitivity of the majority of policies in force, management believes the ultimate exposure to loss from interest rate fluctuations is not significant.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2002 and 2001 approximated $57.6 million and $58.4 million, respectively. Such net positive cash flows provide the foundation of the Company’s assets/liability management program and are the primary drivers of the Company’s liquidity. As previously discussed, the Company also maintains a diversified portfolio of fixed maturity and equity securities which provide a secondary source of liquidity should net cash flows from operating activities prove inadequate to fund current operating needs. Management believes that such an eventuality is unlikely given the Company’s product mix (primarily short-duration personal lines property and casualty products), its ability to adjust premium rates (subject to regulatory oversight) to reflect emerging loss and expense trends and its catastrophe reinsurance program, amongst other factors.
 
The Company has a limited number of contractual obligations in the form of operating leases and debt obligations. These leases have primarily been originated by its commercial leasing and real estate sales subsidiaries. Operating leases supporting the corporate headquarters are the responsibility of Alfa Mutual Insurance Company (Mutual), an affiliate. In turn, the Company reimburses Mutual monthly for a portion of these and other expenses based on a management and operating agreement. There are currently no plans to change the structure of this agreement. Included in the Company’s contractual obligations is the repayment of a $70 million debt obligation. This note, issued in the second quarter of 2002, is payable at the end of fifteen years. While the note carries a variable interest rate, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract to hedge interest rate variability and fix the interest rate for the first five years of the debt obligation at 4.945%. The Company’s contractual obligations at June 30, 2002 are summarized below:

Assessment of credit risk is a critical factor in the Company’s consumer loan and commercial leasing subsidiary. All credit decisions are made by personnel trained to limit loss exposure from unfavorable risks. In attempting to manage risk, the Company regularly reviews delinquent accounts and adjusts reserves for potential loan losses and potential lease losses. To the extent these reserves are inadequate at the time an account is written off, income would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company monitors interest rates relative to the portfolio duration.
 
Rising interest rates on commercial paper issued, a major source of funding portfolio growth, could reduce the interest rate spread if the Company failed to adequately adjust interest rates charged to customers.
 
Total borrowings increased approximately $900,000 in the first six months of 2002 to $203.3 million. The majority of the short-term debt is commercial paper issued by the Company. At June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $98.6 million in commercial paper at rates ranging from 1.82% to 1.86% with maturities ranging from July 16, 2002 to August 22, 2002. The Company intends to continue to use the commercial paper program as a major source to fund the consumer loan portfolio, commercial lease portfolio and other corporate short-term needs. Backup lines of credit are in place up to $220 million. The backup lines agreements contain usual and customary covenants requiring the Company to meet certain operating levels. The Company has maintained full compliance with all such covenants. The Company has A-1+ and P-1 commercial paper ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service, respectively. The commercial paper is guaranteed by two affiliates, Alfa Mutual Insurance Company and Alfa Mutual Fire Insurance Company. In addition, the Company had $34.8 million in short-term debt outstanding to affiliates at June 30, 2002.
 
Included in total borrowings is a variable rate note issued by the Company during the second quarter of 2002 in the amount of $70 million. This note is payable in its entirety at the end of fifteen years with interest payments due monthly. The Company is using the proceeds of this note to partially fund the consumer loan and commercial lease portfolios of its finance subsidiary. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap contract in order to achieve its objective of economically hedging 100 percent of its variable-rate long-term interest payments over the first five years of the note. Under the interest rate swap, the Company receives variable interest payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby fixing the rate on such debt at 4.945%.

On October 25, 1993, the Company established a Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which a maximum aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock were reserved for grant to key personnel. On April 26, 2001, the plan was amended to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares available for grant to 6,400,000 shares. Under the plan, options ratably become exercisable annually over three years and may not be exercised after ten years from the date of the award. During March 2002, the Company issued 423,000 options.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors has approved stock repurchase programs authorizing the repurchase of up to 12,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market or in negotiated transactions in such quantities and at such times and prices as management may decide. During the first six months of 2002, the Company repurchased 62,356 shares at a cost of $755,513. At June 30, 2002, the total repurchased was 6,508,456 shares at a cost of $42,408,240. The Company has reissued 1,441,330 treasury shares as a result of option exercises. In May 2002, the Company began selling treasury shares to its mutual affiliates as a means of meeting provisions under their participation in the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. At June 30, 2002, the total sold was 223,875 shares at a cost of $421,165.
 
Due to the sensitivity of the products offered by the life subsidiary to interest rates fluctuations, the Company must assess the risk of surrenders exceeding expectations factored into its pricing program. Internal actuaries are used to determine the need for modifying the Company’s policies on surrender charges and assessing the Company’s competitiveness with regard to rates offered.
 
Cash surrenders paid to policyholders on a statutory basis totaled $7.5 million in the first six months of 2002 and $8.2 million for the first six months of 2001. This level of surrenders is within the Company’s pricing expectations. Historical persistency rates indicate a normal pattern of surrender activity. The structure of the surrender charges is such that persistency is encouraged. The majority of the policies in force have surrender charges which grade downward over a 12 to 15 year period. In addition, the majority of the in-force business is interest sensitive type policies which generally have lower rates of surrender. At June 30, 2002, the total amount of cash that would be required to fund all amounts subject to surrender was approximately $478.1 million.
 
The Company’s business is concentrated geographically in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Accordingly, unusually severe storms or other disasters in these contiguous states might have a more significant effect on the Company than on a more geographically diversified insurance company. Unusually severe storms, other natural disasters and other events could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. However, the Company’s current catastrophe protection program, which began November 1, 1996, reduced the earnings volatility caused by such catastrophe exposures.
 
The Company’s management uses estimates in determining loss reserves for inclusion in its financial statements. Periodic reviews are conducted with the assistance of both internal and external actuaries to determine a range of reasonable loss reserves. In addition, the Company’s current catastrophe protection program, which began November 1, 1996, was established to address the economics of catastrophe finance. This plan limits the Company’s exposure to catastrophes which might otherwise deplete the Company’s surplus through the combination of shared catastrophe exposure within the Alfa Group and the purchase of reinsurance coverage from external reinsurers.
 
Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; therefore, allowances are established if amounts are determined to be uncollectible. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentration of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities, or economic characteristics of the reinsurance to minimize exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. At

June 30, 2002, the Company does not believe there to be a significant concentration of credit risk related to its reinsurance program.
 
Lawsuits brought by policyholders or third-party claimants can create volatility in the Company’s earnings. The Company maintains in-house legal staff and, as needed, secures the services of external legal firms to present and protect its position. Certain legal proceedings are in process at June 30, 2002. These proceedings involve alleged breaches of contract, torts, including bad faith and fraud claims, and miscellaneous other causes of action. These lawsuits involve claims for mental anguish and punitive damages. Costs for these and similar proceedings, including accruals for outstanding cases, are included in the financial statements of the Company. Management periodically reviews reserves established to cover potential costs of litigation including legal fees and potential damage assessments and adjusts them based on their best estimates. It should be noted that in Alabama, where the Company has substantial business, the likelihood of a judgment in any given suit, including a large mental anguish and/or punitive damage award by a jury, bearing little or no relation to actual damages, continues to exist, creating the potential for unpredictable material adverse financial results.
 
Increased public interest in the availability and affordability of insurance has prompted legislative, regulatory and judicial activity in several states. This includes efforts to contain insurance prices, restrict underwriting practices and risk classifications, mandate rate reductions and refunds, eliminate or reduce exemptions from antitrust laws and generally expand regulation. Because of Alabama’s low automobile rates as compared to rates in most other states, the Company does not expect the type of punitive legislation and initiatives found in some states to be a factor in its primary market in the immediate future. In 1999, the Alabama legislature passed a tort reform package that should help to curb some of the excessive litigation experienced in recent years. In addition, a mandatory insurance bill was passed to require motorists to obtain insurance coverage beginning in June 2000. While this requirement will affect both the revenues and losses incurred by the Company in the future, the full extent or impact is not possible to predict and the Company believes any impact on future results will not be significant.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Company’s “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” is presented in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. As the Company operates in the property and casualty and life insurance industries, its accounting policies are well defined with industry-specific accounting literature governing the recognition of insurance-related revenues and expenses. The exercise of management judgment is, however, a critical aspect governing the application of such accounting guidance. Management believes that the significant assumptions used in the determination of its insurance assets and liabilities are supported by actuarial studies conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial standards and that the resulting insurance assets and liabilities fall within a reasonable range of actuarial estimates given current trends and the nature of the Company’s coverages. Significant assumptions used in the determination of actuarially determined assets and liabilities are also contained within the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
 
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” in June 1998. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in investment securities and other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative will be included in either

Table of Contents
earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the intended use of the derivative instrument. This standard, as amended by SFAS No. 137, became effective for the Company January 1, 2001. At this time, the Company does not anticipate this standard having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income as it does not use derivative instruments in the normal course of business. On January 1, 2001, the Company recorded approximately $229,000, net of tax, as the effect upon adoption of this standard.
 
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (a replacement of SFAS No. 125)” in September 2000. This standard became effective April 1, 2001. At this time, the Company does not anticipate this standard having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
The FASB issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in June 2001. These standards became effective July 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively. Based on current information available and the fact that the Company has not engaged in material transactions covered by these standards, the Company does not anticipate these standards having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” Subsequently, in August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” While SFAS No. 143 has not yet become effective, SFAS No. 144 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. At this time, the Company does not anticipate either of these standards having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
The FASB also issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections,” in April 2002. At this time, the Company does not anticipate this standard having a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or income.
 
INFORMATION ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Any statement contained in this report which is not a historical fact, or which might otherwise be considered an opinion or projection concerning the Company or its business, whether expressed or implied, is meant as and should be considered a forward-looking statement as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and opinions concerning a variety of known and unknown risks, including but not necessarily limited to changes in market conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events, increased competition, changes in availability and cost of reinsurance, changes in governmental regulations, technological changes, political and legal contingencies and general economic conditions, as well as other risks and uncertainties more completely described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these assumptions or opinions prove incorrect, any forward-looking statements made on the basis of such assumptions or opinions may also prove materially incorrect in one or more respects and may cause actual future results to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, estimated or budgeted in such forward-looking statements.

Item 3.     Market Risk Disclosures
 
The Company’s objectives in managing its investment portfolio are to maximize investment income and investment returns while minimizing overall credit risk. Investment strategies are developed based on many factors including underwriting results, overall tax position, regulatory requirements, and fluctuations in interest rates. Investment decisions are made by management and approved by the Board of Directors. Market risk represents the potential for loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of securities. The market risk related to the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio are primarily interest rate risk and prepayment risk. The market risk related to the Company’s equity portfolio is equity price risk. For further information, reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations in Alfa Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
 
Certain legal proceedings are in process at June 30, 2002. Costs for these and similar legal proceedings, including accruals for outstanding cases, totaled $3.0 million in the first six months of 2002, $930,000 in 2001, and $3.0 million in 2000. These proceedings involve alleged breaches of contract, torts, including bad faith and fraud claims, and miscellaneous other causes of action. These lawsuits involve claims for mental anguish and punitive damages. Approximately 17 legal proceedings against Alfa Life Insurance Corporation (Life) were in process at June 30, 2002. Of the 17 proceedings, five were filed in 2002, three were filed in 2001, one was filed in 2000, six were filed in 1999, one was filed in 1997, and one was filed in 1996. In a case tried in January 2001, in Barbour County, Alabama, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff against Life for $500,000 in compensatory damages and $5,000,000 in punitive damages. After Life filed post-trial motions, the trial court reduced the punitive damage award to $1,500,000. Life has appealed the award to the Alabama Supreme Court. In a case tried in December 2001, in Bullock County, Alabama, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs against Life for $300,000 in compensatory damages and $3,000,000 in punitive damages. After Life filed post-trial motions, the trial court reduced the punitive damage award to $900,000. Life has appealed the award to the Alabama Supreme Court. Two of the 17 pending legal proceedings against Life have been certified as class actions by the trial court in each case. After the trial court certified the first class action against Life, Life appealed the class certification order to the Alabama Supreme Court. In November 2001, the Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court, decertified the class, and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. The trial court has again certified the class and Life has appealed the certification to the Alabama Supreme Court. The recent trial court order certifying the second class action has been appealed to the Alabama Supreme Court. In addition, one purported class action lawsuit is pending against both Alfa Builders, Inc. and Alfa Mutual Fire Insurance Company. Additionally, five purported class action lawsuits are pending against the property and casualty mutual companies involving a number of issues and allegations which could affect the Company because of a pooling agreement between the companies. No class has been certified in any of these six purported class action cases. In addition, Alfa Insurance Corporation and Alfa General Insurance Corporation were recently served with a purported class action in the State of Georgia, alleging the two corporations improperly refused to evaluate and refused to pay diminution in value respecting automobile first-party physical damage claims. It should be noted that in Alabama, where the Company has substantial business, the likelihood of a judgment in any given suit, including a large mental anguish and/or punitive damage award by a jury, bearing little or no relation to actual damages, continues to exist, creating the potential for unpredictable material adverse financial results.
 
Based upon information presently available, contingent liabilities arising from any other threatened litigation are not presently considered by management to be material.
