&quot;While the challenges in the market we faced this year were dramatic, Empire Life met this adversity with the same tenacity, dedication, customer-focus and strength we have demonstrated throughout our 85-year history,&quot; says Les Herr, who will mark his first year as President and Chief Executive Officer on April 1, 2009.

After five years of achieving double-digit growth in invested assets, the Company&#039;s total assets under management declined by 16% in 2008 due to the sharp decline in stock market prices. However, the Company did see positive net sales in its wealth management product line for the year and annuity premium income rose 29% compared to 2007 due to increased sales of both deferred and immediate annuities.

			<link>http://www.emediaworld.com/press_release/release_detail.php?id=381040</link>
			<pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:00:00 EST</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[ORLANDO, FL--(eMediaWorld - February 27, 2009) -  &quot;In a well reasoned opinion issued yesterday,
the United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals protected consumer
property rights and made a strong statement about the important and
legitimate secondary market for life insurance,&quot; said Doug Head, executive
director of the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA).

In First Penn v. Evans, No. 07-2020, the Court rejected a life insurer&#039;s
attempt to void a policy for lack of insurable interest where the insured
had taken out a policy on his own life with a general intent to later
resell it but having no agreement with any other person to do so.
&quot;Clearly, an individual has an insurable interest in his own life,&quot; wrote
the Court, which went on to say:  &quot;No third party participated in the
procurement of Moore&#039;s policy and therefore no one was &#039;wagering&#039; on
Moore&#039;s life in violation of public policy.&quot;  First Penn issued the
original policy to Stanley R. Moore, a resident of Arizona.

launch of a market to connect business freelancers and editors.

&quot;We&#039;re responding to a huge need among people who have been caught up in

newspapers but across all media. A lot of them have suddenly been thrust
into freelancing to support themselves,&quot; said SABEW President Bernie Kohn
of the Baltimore Sun. &quot;It&#039;s a scary proposition, especially in this

diluted share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted
share, for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The net loss was primarily
the result of a one-time, non-recurring 100% write down of goodwill in the

during the year.  Additionally, rapidly falling interest rates caused
significant compression of our net interest margin compared to the prior

Previously, it was not certain whether the Company would be permitted to pay the aforementioned dividend as a result of market conditions and a dividend payment restriction contained in its Class A, Series 2 and Series 3 Preference Share provisions, which preclude payment of a common share dividend unless, after giving effect thereto, the ratio of its Assets to Obligations (both as defined in the Preference Share provisions) exceeds 2.5 times. As at the close of business on December 12, 2008, such ratio was in excess of 2.6 times and therefore the dividend can be paid as scheduled.

			<description><![CDATA[ARLINGTON, TX--(eMediaWorld - December 5, 2008) -  Decision Analyst&#039;s U.S. Economic Index held
steady during the month of November at 88, a level essentially unchanged
for eight months, despite the ongoing credit crisis, record foreclosures,
layoffs, and bankruptcies.  As shown in the graph, the Index&#039;s decline
began in the Fall of 2006, a full year before the current recession
officially began in December 2007.  The Economic Index deteriorated rapidly
in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, but appears to
have &quot;bottomed out&quot; over the past seven or eight months (that is, it
stopped going down).  This indicates that the bottom of the recession is
most likely occurring now (give or take a quarter or two).  This could
indicate the beginning of a recovery by mid-2009 (assuming credit markets
are functioning properly).

The first quarter proved difficult for the Corporation, as the Investment Division&#039;s realized gains were more than offset by its unrealized losses. Combined with reductions in margin available and used this resulted in a decrease in portfolio size by 39% to $18.3 million as of September 30, 2008. The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), on which all of the Corporation&#039;s investments trade, fell 18.8% between June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 as all major indices fell. The Corporation&#039;s investments in the Energy sector suffered the most, as oil prices fell from their summer highs, dragging down energy stocks even while many investments saw record cash flows.

			<description><![CDATA[ARLINGTON, TX--(eMediaWorld - November 5, 2008) -  Decision Analyst&#039;s U.S. Economic Index held
steady during the month of October at 89, a level unchanged for seven
months, despite the on-going credit crisis, record foreclosures, layoffs,
and bank failures.

According to Jerry W. Thomas, President/CEO of Decision Analyst, &quot;The
relative strength of the Decision Analyst Economic Index in October
(&#039;strength&#039; because it did not crash) rests upon several factors:


--  Rising expectations among consumers that stocks will increase in value
    during the next six months.
--  Soaring optimism about cost-of-living reductions, related primarily to
    the decline in gasoline prices.
--  Reasonable employment levels and consistent perceptions of job
    security, despite the news of corporate layoffs.
--  Unused credit -- most consumers report that they have plenty of room
    to expand credit card debt, if they wish.

			<description><![CDATA[PHOENIX, AZ--(eMediaWorld - October 15, 2008) -  As U.S. companies continue to cut jobs and
scale back on business costs, recent graduates still struggling to land
their first job out of college face one of the bleakest job markets in
years. And a growing number of these jobless graduates, having to go
without employer-sponsored health insurance, are quickly joining the ranks of
America&#039;s 50 million uninsured.

While they&#039;re in college, most undergraduates are covered either by their
parents&#039; health plan or by school-sponsored health insurance, the cost of
which is usually added to their tuition and fees each semester. Once
they&#039;ve graduated, however, former students no longer have a
school-sponsored health plan to turn to, and many may no longer be eligible
for coverage as a dependent under their parents&#039; health insurance.
