National Affiliated Corp., through its subsidiaries, markets and sells life and health insurance in 17 states and the District of Columbia. For the six months ended 6/30/97, total revenues rose 55% to $2.1 million. Net income totalled $426 thousand vs. a loss of $810 thousand. Revenues reflect additional members in the New Mexico group accident and health business and higher other income. Earnings also reflect lower salaries, wages and other operating expenses due to personnel reductions.
The Company's business plans will focus on growth through the acquisition and consolidation of other small life insurance companies. The Company plans to seek to acquire undervalued life insurance companies in the $2 million to $50 million equity range. The acquisitions are expected to be made through a joint venture with The Southern Group. This acquisition strategy will require acquisition candidates, evaluation, acquisition finance, and regulatory approvals. The Southern Group has implemented a program of identifying potential acquisition candidates and the Company intends to review acquisition opportunities presented by The Southern Group. Maryland Southern Life Insurance Company and Southern Mortgage, Inc. are under agreement to be added to the joint venture in the third quarter.
When combined with NAAC's existing 17 jurisdictions, the scheduled acquisitions would jointly hold 44 state licenses. The combined gross premiums are projected to be $79 million in the next 12 months, which is 40 times higher than National Affiliated Investors Life, NAAC's current life insurance unit. NAAC's management estimates the additional earnings from these acquisitions for the next twelve months will be $1.07-1.70 per share.
