Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Included below is a release of financial information mailed to stockholders on November 15, 2005. It reflects the financial condition, in a condensed format, for Kansas City Life Insurance Company as of September 30, 2005, and was previously included in the Company's third quarter Form 10-Q report filed on November 8, 2005.
Message from the President and CEO
Kansas City Life Insurance Company recorded third quarter net income of $8.9 million or $0.75 per share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $25.3 million or $2.12 per share, a 3% increase over the prior year’s $24.7 million or $2.07 per share. Although the third quarter 2005 results are lower than the same period last year, the decline was primarily due to $2.8 million in realized investment gains during the third quarter of 2004. Reductions in benefits and expenses during the first nine months have more than offset reductions in insurance and investment revenues.
New premiums on individual life products increased 19% for the third quarter and 5% for the nine months. However, insurance revenues declined 11% for the third quarter and 6% for the nine months, primarily due to lower annuity premiums and contract charges.
Net investment income increased 2% for the third quarter but declined 2% for the nine months. Although the low interest rate environment has negatively affected the yield earned on the Company’s investment portfolio, gross investment income increased slightly from the first and second quarters of 2005 and net investment income improved slightly in the third quarter of 2005 versus the same period a year earlier. Net investment income, however, declined for the nine-month period due to increased investment expense and lower gross investment yields in 2005.
Policyholder benefits and interest credited to policyholder account balances decreased $5.1 million for the third quarter and $13.1 million for the nine months, primarily due to reduced death benefits and lower crediting rates. Finally, operating expenses declined in the third quarter and nine months, primarily due to cost savings from the integration of GuideOne operations into the Home Office.
The Company continues to focus on growing its life insurance sales. Our success in new life insurance sales in 2005 has been the result of both improved production from current agencies and the recruitment of new agencies. Through an expanding sales force, the Company is committed to building upon its life insurance business.
The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share to be paid November 22, 2005 to shareholders of record as of November 17, 2005.

• |
Comprehensive income (loss) was ($22,711) and $47,453 for the third |
|
|
quarter of 2005 and 2004; and $4,654 and $29,952 for the nine months |
|
|
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This varies from net |
|
|
income largely due to unrealized gains or losses on investments. |
|
|
|
|
• |
Income per common share is based upon the weighted average |
|
|
number of shares outstanding for the nine months, 11,925,389 |
