Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Included below is a release of financial information mailed to stockholders on August 11, 2006. It reflects the financial condition, in a condensed format, for Kansas City Life Insurance Company as of June 30, 2006, and was previously included in the Company's second quarter Form 10-Q report filed on August 4, 2006.

 

Message from the President, CEO and Chairman of the Board

 

Kansas City Life Insurance Company recorded a 20% increase in net income for the second quarter, as net income of $10.1 million or $0.85 per share was recorded in 2006 versus $8.4 million or $0.71 per share one year earlier. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased 6% from $16.4 million or $1.37 per share in 2005 to $17.3 million or $1.45 per share for the current six months. The increase for both the second quarter and the six months was primarily attributable to an increase in net investment income and realized investment gains and losses, along with reduced policyholder benefits.

 

Total revenues increased 3% for the second quarter versus a year earlier, largely due to a 9% improvement in investment revenues. Although total revenues increased only slightly for the first half of 2006, investment revenues grew 3% during this period.

 

New life insurance and new accident and health premiums increased 7% in the second quarter and 9% for the first six months relative to the prior year. These increases include improvements of 15% and 17% in premiums from new life insurance sales in the Company’s Individual Insurance segment during the same respective time periods. These increases are consistent with the Company’s emphasis on growing life insurance sales. Sales of universal life and variable universal life deposits together declined 3% during the second quarter but increased 4% for the first six months of 2006 versus the same periods one year earlier. Total premiums declined for both the second quarter and six month periods due to a decline in sales of immediate annuities.

 

Driving the growth in investment revenue for the quarter and six month periods was a $2.3 million improvement in realized investment gains in the second quarter. In addition, net investment income increased $2.0 million in the second quarter and $2.1 million in the six month period due to improving investment yields and reduced investment expense in the second quarter.

 

Policyholder benefits declined 4% for both the second quarter and six months. The improvement was primarily due to reduced reserves from the decline in sales of immediate annuities. This decrease partially offset increased benefits paid in the group dental insurance business line and increased surrenders of individual life policies. Total benefits and expenses increased less than 1% during the second quarter and decreased 1% during the six months ended June 30, 2006, including the impact of a 3% increase in operating expenses during both periods.

 

Kansas City Life operates from a position of having strong capital and a rich tradition of providing Security Assured for generations. The Company’s top priority is to grow the individual life insurance business. We are pleased that the priority placed on the growth of the individual life insurance business is being rewarded with improving results, and we look forward to extending our relationships in the second half of 2006.

 

Additionally, the Kansas City Life Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share to be paid August 15, 2006 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2006.

ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This varies from net

 

income largely due to unrealized gains or losses on investments.

number of shares outstanding for the six months, 11,893,746

 

shares (11,925,998 shares - 2005).
