First Quarter 2003 Results

Dear Members:

The first quarter of 2003 Summary of Operations results continue to show positive growth in total premium income. The introduction of our two new annuity programs, the Classic Series and the Preferred Series afforded our members and prospects a positive program for retirement savings along with much flexibility.

First quarter 2003, saw premium income increase $898,771 over last year. This is a 72.59% increase over 2002. It gives our organization a good start to set a new record in total premium income this year. For the first three months, we have received a total of $2,136,931 from our members. I hope this trend continues. If this continues, your organization could have a new record at the end of this year in total premium income.

An $8,000,000.00 goal is reachable in 2003. Last year’s record was $5,375,137 in total premium income.

Expenses are increasing as we receive annuity funds, which result in our requirement for increases in aggregate reserves for life. Net income has been reduced if we compare the results with year 2002. That is because of the lower interest rates we are able to get from our investments, increase in reserves and increase in other expenses such as death benefits.

Your executive committee has selected to invest in other instruments other than government bonds to receive a higher rate of return. In doing so, we are experiencing a temporary reduction in surplus. I am confident that by December 31, 2003, our surplus will be near the end of last year, if not more than last year.

I am appealing to our members. Encourage others to join. Our life insurance programs are developed to meet the goals of our members. How does one join? A benefit certificate needs to be issued. It is in the form of a term insurance, cash value life insurance program, for a beneficiary or a non-qualified annuity or a qualified annuity plan for reaching retirement goals.

Yes, I am encouraging our member to bring in others. It is only through your efforts and the efforts of our fraternal agents that our organization could be given to be further strengthened both in financial goals as well as the fraternal spirit.

We are still in need of more involvement with our members in our fraternal programs. How does one get involved? Try attending society meetings and lending a hand in fundraising efforts for one of many programs. Such as, the local church or school, The Polish Museum of America, or the scholarship funds of the PRCUA or the local society.

For more information on PRCUA annuity and life insurance programs, contact your deputy (PRCUA sales representative), the Philadelphia office or the Home office.

Fraternally yours,



Wallace M. Ozog, FICF
National President
