Investment income was higher because we received new money and therefore had more money to invest. The low interest rate environment continues to put pressure on your Society to look at ways to contain costs. On the expense side, the payments to members increased from the previous year as the same number of death claims were paid, with larger face amounts. One of the major increases in the expense area was the reserve that was set up for the new business which resulted in an increase of $10.2 million. General expenses were higher because of the cost of acquiring the new insurance producers and the acquisition of the annuity business with commission. Also in the general expenses, the cost of product development was quite a bit higher this year as your Society needed to bring to market products that reflected the current interest rates. In addition there were a couple of one-time accounting changes that took place in the expense line for $110,000. Over all, your Society continues to be financially strong and healthy and with new products being developed that will help to grow the financial strength of your Society. If there are ever any questions about the financials please feel free to contact the Home Office for further information or clarification.
