[LOGO OF HORACE MANN MUTUAL FUNDS] P.O. Box 4657 Springfield, IL 62708-4657 (217) 789-2500 Fellow Shareholders: One of the most important tasks you will undertake in the course of your career is investing for retirement, and Horace Mann is proud to serve you in your effort to cultivate long-term financial success. Thank you for your continued confidence in the Horace Mann Mutual Funds. Market Review The events of Sept. 11 cast a cloud on an already disappointing year for stock investors. While the nation rallied together following the attacks, the year proved difficult as the bull market of prior years became a distant memory. Companies continued to suffer under the weight of a lagging economy, and pockets of growth were few and far between. Investors continued to see losses in many technology-oriented stocks as 2001 proved especially difficult for this sector. Companies whose market values grew significantly in previous years pulled back and prior years' gains eroded. Long-term value stock investors were rewarded as the growth style of investing, which had enjoyed unmitigated success in recent years, fell behind their value counterparts. While 2001 provided investors with extreme challenges, the benefits of well-diversified investing were clearly apparent. As an example, bonds generally performed well in this environment, building on gains of the previous year. While 2001 was a down year in the stock market, there were some spots for encouragement in the Horace Mann Mutual Funds family: . The Equity Fund, though it posted a slightly negative return in 2001, significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index, continuing a trend that began in early 2000; . The Balanced Fund also posted solid returns, picking up ground for the year and exceeding its benchmark; . The International Equity Fund performed in sympathy with a difficult environment for international stocks, yielding slightly to its benchmark; . Income Fund investors enjoyed gains that countered the decline in stock prices; and . The Short-Term Investment Fund produced positive returns in 2001. All of the Horace Mann Mutual Funds remain well positioned to provide you with appropriate investments for your long-term retirement needs. Wilshire Associates, in their role as Adviser, made two significant changes in the management of the funds in 2001. Mazama Capital Management was retained to manage a portion of the Small Cap Growth Fund, and Bernstein Investment Research & Management's assignment with the Horace Mann Mutual Funds was expanded to include the Socially Responsible Fund. Results have been encouraging in these funds so far, and Wilshire Associates will continue to monitor the management of the funds and take the necessary steps to strive to provide you with the best opportunity to succeed in your investment plan. With great appreciation for your dedication in educating our nation's schoolchildren during these difficult times, Horace Mann maintains its commitment to providing you with financial solutions that make sense for the long term. We look forward to working by your side in this challenging investment environment, and assisting you in reaching your long-term investment objectives. On behalf of Horace Mann, I thank you for your continued confidence in the Horace Mann Mutual Funds, and wish you the very best in 2002.

[PHOTO APPEARS HERE] 3 [PHOTO APPEARS HERE] The average annual total rates of return assume contributions were made on the first business day of the period indicated. Total return measures the past performance of each fund subaccount and does not represent the actual experience of investments made by a particular contract owner. The total return and principal value of an account will fluctuate. The value of an account may be worth more or less than its original cost, when redeemed, depending upon market fluctuations. Past performance does not guarantee future results of the subaccounts. The average annual rates of return of each variable subaccount of the Annuity Alternatives contracts were adjusted for a 1.35 percent mortality and expense fee until March 1, 1999, when the fee was reduced to 1.25 percent. Annuity contracts issued prior to January 1984 have mortality and expense charges or sales fees that differ from those of the Annuity Alternatives contracts. Such other charges and fees do not exceed those reflected in the table above. Annuity Alternatives contracts require a $25 annual maintenance charge on the contract anniversary when the contract value is less than $10,000. This charge, which is not reflected in the returns above, after the first contract year would reduce the total rates of return by 2.5 percent on a $1,000 investment or .5 percent on a $5,000 investment. During the first five contract years, redemption charges range from 2 to 8 percent for the flexible premium contracts and 1 to 5 percent for single premium contracts. The average annual total returns with redemption are calculated using flexible premium redemption charges. Distributions from an annuity may be subject to federal taxes and a 10 percent IRS penalty if withdrawn before age 59-1/2. On August 10, 2001, Bernstein Investment Research and Management Unit (Bernstein) replaced Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. as the sub-adviser on the Socially Responsible Fund. Effective October 19, 2001, Small Cap Growth Fund employed a multi-manager strategy using two sub-advisers BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. and Mazama Capital Management. Returns of the Horace Mann Mutual Funds in the above table are shown net of fund expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the funds received credits on overnight cash balances resulting in a reduction of custody expenses. Commission credits were used to pay certain expenses for the Equity Fund from 1994 through December 31, 2001, and for the Balanced Fund from 1994 through January 19, 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, certain expenses were assumed/waived for all Funds. In addition, certain Balanced and Income Funds expenses were assumed/waived through 1987 and 1996, respectively. Certain Short-Term Investment Fund expenses have been assumed/waived since 1983. Certain expenses for the Small Cap Growth, International Equity, and Socially Responsible Funds have been assumed/waived since their inception, March 10, 1997. Assumed expenses and the use of credits resulted in higher actual returns and for some funds exceeded 1 percent depending on the expenses assumed. There is no guarantee that certain expenses will be assumed/waived or the use of credits will continue in the future. /1/ Since inception for the Equity, Balanced, Income, and Short-Term Investment Funds refers to Nov. 1, 1989, the date Wellington Management Company, LLP became their investment adviser. Effective May 1, 1997, Wellington Management Company, LLP became the funds' sub-adviser. On March 1, 1999 Wilshire Associates, Inc. became the investment adviser for the Funds. Wilshire employs sub-advisers to manage the Funds. /2/ Since inception for the Small Cap Growth, International Equity and Socially Responsible Funds refers to their beginning date, March 10, 1997. The investment sub-advisers are BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. and Mazama Capital Management for the Small Cap Growth Fund, Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. for the International Equity Fund and Bernstein for the Socially Responsible Fund. 4 [LOGO OF WILSHIRE ASSOCIATES] WILSHIRE ASSOCIATES 1299 Ocean Avenue, Suite 700 Santa Monica, CA 90401-1085 TEL 310.451.3051 FAX 310.458.0520 www.wilshire.com To the Shareholders of the Horace Mann Mutual Funds: We appreciate this opportunity to report on the Horace Mann Mutual Funds and their performance in 2001.

Discussion of the capital markets in 2001 Results were mainly negative for equity investors. A series of interest rate reductions, which included an unprecedented 11th cut in December, were instituted to stimulate the economy. Despite these interest rate reductions, the economy's continued weakness dragged the stock markets into negative territory for the year. The retreat from equities benefited bond investors, however, and fixed income returns were generally positive. International markets were victim of slowing economic growth as well and followed U.S. markets lower. Technology stocks, which led the markets to new highs in previous years, were hardest hit. Investors sought companies with a proven stream of steady earnings and avoided stocks with only recent revenue and profit growth. The result of this trend was the continuing downward spiral of these "new economy" stock prices during the year. In many instances, companies whose stock prices had risen astronomically as the technology boom drove markets higher, suffered heavily and fell to new lows. Growth stocks, generally characterized by high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, dropped sharply, with Internet and technology shares bearing the brunt of the market's wrath. The pessimistic outlook was exacerbated by the continued failure of companies to achieve earnings targets. Many companies that were the darlings of the stock market two years ago fell victim to the slowdown. Many blue chip tech stocks, such as Cisco and Merck, companies with substantial profits and proven track records, experienced negative returns in which the stocks lost in excess of one-third of their value. Value stocks performed better than growth stocks. Value stocks provided a defensive stance protecting investors against incurring future losses. While technology stocks may be out of favor in the short term, many of these companies remain in various investment portfolios because of their long-term viability and superior growth potential. Funds Performance 2001 The following paragraphs describe the performance of the Horace Mann Mutual Funds over the past year: Domestic Equity The Equity Fund and the Socially Responsible Fund each outperformed its respective benchmark. The Small Cap Growth Fund encountered difficulty in an extreme environment. Equity Fund Investment management companies Bernstein Investment Research and Management Unit, Wellington Management Company, LLP and Mellon Equity Associates, LLP act as sub-advisers to the Fund. The combined management team outperformed the benchmark, preserving value for shareholders in a down market. The Fund's 5 value-oriented approach focuses on companies with proven track records of stable earnings. The manager combination has been successful while providing diversification within a single fund. Since the management change in March 2000, the Equity Fund has achieved a favorable positive return while the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, has lost significant value. A key to the outperformance was effective stock selection. In addition, the fund took advantage of value stocks' strong performance versus growth stocks, which fell from favor. Although value stocks were out of favor during the technology boom of the late 1990s, they have outperformed growth stocks recently. Microsoft and IBM posted strong earnings and outperformed the market to bolster the Fund's performance. However, the Equity Fund was not fully immune to the Internet and technology slump, as some holdings came under significant pressure. In particular, the Equity Fund was hurt by holdings in Cisco Systems and EMC Corporation, both bellwether stocks in the technology sector. The Fund was able to offset technology losses by posting strong returns in more traditional industry categories such as Consumer Cyclicals. Winners in this category included Whirlpool Corporation and Zale Corporation. The sub-advisers believe they have positioned the portfolio for a 2002 recovery. The economy has slowed and is showing some limited signs of recovery. The sub-advisers believe defensive stocks that exist within the value sectors may benefit from this current economic condition. Socially Responsible Fund Wilshire Associates elected to replace Zurich Scudder Investments as the sub-adviser despite what was a good year for this Fund. The team that had managed the portfolio since inception departed Scudder, and Wilshire hired Bernstein Investment Research & Management Unit as their replacement. Like the Equity Fund, the Socially Responsible Fund is heavily invested in value stocks and benefited from their performance. The Fund's emphasis on value-oriented sectors, such as capital goods, contributed to the strong performance. In addition, strong stock selection in the mostly depressed technology sector benefited returns. The portfolio profited from stable consumer spending -- retail holdings in the portfolio performed well --despite an overall weakening economic condition. Discount retailers posted consistent earnings and home improvement retailers experienced positive returns. Lowe's (up 18 percent), Federated Department Stores (up 28 percent) and Target Corporation (up 20 percent) boosted portfolio performance. Communications companies provided safe haven to investors, particularly in light of Sept. 11 when businesses opted to use telecommunication rather than travel. AT&T, a strong performer within the Socially Responsible Fund, gained 22 percent. Transportation stocks fell drastically after Sept. 11 and continued to be a drag on performance. The Fund's focus on socially responsible companies detracted from performance slightly as many prohibited stocks had good years. A significant example is tobacco giant Philip Morris, who posted a generous 46 percent return. Although 2001 was a down year in the stock market, the Socially Responsible Fund held up well. Bernstein Investment Research and Management Unit positioned the portfolio to take advantage of any recovery that may be forthcoming. The disciplined approach the manager uses in management of the portfolio should serve shareholders well in the coming year. 6 Small Cap Growth Fund In October, Wilshire changed the manager mix of the Small Cap Growth Fund as Mazama Capital Management joined BlackRock Financial Management as sub-adviser to the Fund. This strategy provides investors a strong combination with a disciplined approach while offering diversification benefits. The Fund's results since the combination have stabilized, yet the environment continues to be difficult for small-cap growth stock investors. The Small Cap Growth Fund invests in the stocks of smaller companies that may possess greater growth potential than their larger equivalents. The Fund allows investors access to a sector of emerging companies that are ignored by funds focused on larger capitalization objectives. These stocks are typically more volatile than those of large companies, and may gain or lose a significant portion of their market value in a short amount of time. However, the potential for strong returns may be beneficial to investors with an above-average risk tolerance and long-time goals. It was a difficult year for the Fund as growth stocks fell from favor and investors grew wary of emerging companies. The Small Cap Growth Fund fell almost 30 percent while the Russell 2000 Growth Index fell more than 9 percent. The portfolio was helped by strong performance in the technology sector as Red Hat (up 50 percent), Pixelworks, Inc. (up 59 percent), and Digimarc (up 52 percent) advanced significantly. Additionally, gaming and entertainment technology boosted performance as Activision Inc. gained 104 percent and THQ Incorporated picked up 85 percent. The portfolio was hurt by the pharmaceutical sector, as the sub-advisers anticipated a boost in new biotech developments. However, this area did not produce the gains expected by management. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (down 66 percent) and Osi Pharmaceuticals (down 43 percent) were primary drags on the Fund's performance. Mazama selected stocks that excelled in the fourth quarter and positioned the portfolio to continue to take advantage of opportunities in the small-cap growth area, particularly in the technology sector. BlackRock believes the current portfolio construction is designed to capture the significant growth opportunities as they occur. Domestic Fixed Income During the year, the Income Fund and the Short-Term Investment Fund each outperformed their relevant benchmarks. The Income Fund Western Asset Management returned 8.9 percent to slightly outperform the Lehman Aggregate Index, which returned 8.4 percent. Western Asset held bonds with maturity dates greater than the average of their relevant benchmark index. Management's strategy stressed weathering short-term uncertainty by holding these longer duration bonds. Additionally, management favored intermediate- and long-term government bonds, high-quality corporate bonds and mortgage-backed bonds, such as those offered by Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac. Approximately 50 percent of the Fund was invested in securities issued by various agencies of the U.S. government. 7 In limited instances, management selected high-yield corporate debt and sovereign foreign bonds. The high-yield bonds added to the return of the Fund versus the benchmark. Western also found value in limited exposure to Emerging Markets bonds. The sub-adviser's favorable performance versus the benchmark was due to its holdings in highly rated credits. Management believes these will offer the best returns for investors in times of uncertainty. During the year, the Fund was hurt by its mortgage-backed holdings as these bonds underperformed the index. Western Asset is confident its strategy of holding longer-term bonds will benefit investors in 2002. Because management limits high-yield holdings to select issues, it mitigated losses experienced in this sector. If current market conditions continue, so will its conservative allocation to high yield corporate bonds in 2002. Short-Term Investment Fund This Fund generated reasonable returns in a year that experienced the most interest rate cuts in history. Short-term rates fell throughout the year and the Fund's yield to investors fell in concert with the Federal Reserve's actions. The Fund seeks to preserve invested capital and succeeded in outpacing inflation during the course of the year. Western emphasized short-term agency notes. This strategy allows the Fund to take advantage of yield opportunities while maintaining a high level of liquidity. The Fund will continue to be impacted by the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy. Balanced Portfolios Balanced Fund The Balanced Fund is designed to provide a stock/bond mix that is appropriate for long-term investors. The Balanced Fund buys "units" of the Equity Fund -- 60 percent -- and the Income Fund -- 40 percent -- to replicate the target weightings. During the year, the Balanced Fund significantly outperformed its benchmark, a blend of the S&P 500 Index and Lehman Aggregate Index. The Fund was boosted by the solid performance of the Income Fund. International Equity Global markets fell dramatically in 2001 as a synchronized downturn occurred, largely because of slowing economic conditions in the United States. The International Equity Fund significantly underperformed its benchmark during 2001. International Equity Fund Just as strong performers in the domestic stock market returned previous years' gains, so, too, did the rising stars of the international markets retreat. International markets languished throughout the year as lowered expectations in domestic markets coupled with earnings disappointments globally spelled falling stock prices for investors. A strong dollar exacerbated the slowdown in foreign markets. Japan underperformed its Asian neighbors as the Pacific Rim market as a whole fell rapidly. Canada was a lone bright spot as its stocks performed well along with its strengthening dollar. 8 The economic recovery in Japan never came to fruition despite continued governmental attempts to stimulate its recovery. Many European markets traded down for the year, as well. Finland led Europe lower as telecommunications stocks were badly hurt by the slowdown in consumer spending. While the Fund had a light exposure to technology, its tech investments in Europe constrained performance. The United Kingdom experienced pockets of growth in the retail sector as its consumers continued to spend at traditionally high rates. The Fund holds an underweighted position in the United Kingdom and was not able to fully capture these gains. The Fund's performance was hurt because of its focus on communications, which was under significant pressure during the year. Deutsche Telekom (down 47 percent) and Cable & Wireless (down 56 percent) were primary disappointments on the portfolio. Zurich Scudder, sub-adviser for the International Equity Fund, sees continued volatility in the markets for 2002. While the manager anticipates economic uncertainty to continue in 2002, the portfolio is offensively positioned with a modest overweight in information technology, materials and industrials. Zurich Scudder holds a long-term stance that Japan will recover and maintain a neutral position. Final Comments 2001 was a troubling year in many respects for investors. The fragile economic condition was worsened by the attacks of Sept. 11. The performance of the stock market and the uncertainty of the economy in general were troubling short-term events. In light of the conditions that exist today, long-term diversification in your retirement portfolio is clearly necessary. The reversal of leadership in investment styles demonstrates this need for diversification. The emergence of value stocks rewarded investors who were diversified. Investors whose portfolio was diversified across the Horace Mann Mutual Funds gave themselves the opportunity to preserve capital in this down market. We thank you for your continued confidence in the Horace Mann Mutual Funds. Wilshire strives to provide you with the best investment opportunities available, and we are committed to our long-term philosophy, a belief we share with Horace Mann. /s/ Michael P.

/1/ The "Net Investment Income (Loss)" per share and the "Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)" per share represent a proportionate share respective to the increase in net assets as presented in the Statement of Operations and are calculated using the average outstanding share balance for the year. Distributions from "Net Investment Income" and "Net Realized Gains" are based on actual outstanding shares on the ex-date. /2/ The total return is determined by the ratio of ending net asset value to beginning net asset value, adjusted for reinvestment of dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains. /3/ If you are an annuity contract owner, the above total return does not reflect expenses that apply to the separate account or related policies.

51 HORACE MANN MUTUAL FUNDS 2001 FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2001 1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION -- The Horace Mann Mutual Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which offers units of beneficial ownership (shares) in seven separate investment portfolios: Equity Fund (formally Growth Fund), Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Short-Term Investment Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund. These funds collectively are referred to as the "Funds." Shares are presently offered to Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (HMLIC) Separate Account and the HMLIC 401(k) Separate Account. The Equity Fund shares also may be purchased under the dividend reinvestment plans by certain shareholders. FUND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES: A.Equity Fund -- primary, long-term capital growth; secondary, conservation of principal and production of income. B.Balanced Fund -- realization of high long-term total rate of return consistent with prudent investment risks. C.Income Fund -- long-term total rate of return in excess of the U.S. bond market over a full market cycle. D.Short-Term Investment Fund -- primary, realize maximum current income to the extent consistent with liquidity; secondary, preservation of principal. E.Small Cap Growth Fund -- long-term capital appreciation through investing primarily in equity securities of small cap companies with earnings growth potential. F.International Equity Fund -- long-term growth of capital through a diversified portfolio of marketable foreign equity securities. G.Socially Responsible Fund -- long-term growth of capital, current income and growth of income through investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of United States-based companies which are determined to be socially responsible. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: A.Security valuation -- A security listed or traded on U.S. or foreign stock exchanges is valued at its last sales price on the exchange where it is principally traded. In the absence of a current quotation, the security is valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices on that exchange. If there are no such bid and ask quotations the most recent bid quotation is used. Securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation (NASDAQ) System, for which there have been sales, are valued at the most recent sale price reported on such system. If there are no such sales, the value is the high or "inside" bid quotation. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the last current bid price. Debt securities that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost, plus or minus any unamortized premium or discount. Foreign securities are converted to United States dollars using exchange rates at the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In the event market quotations would not be available, securities would be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees; no such securities were owned by the Funds at December 31, 2001. B.Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as they become available. Interest income including level yield, premium and discount amortization is recorded on the accrual basis. Securities gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost. The Income Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and make contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment basis involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. Although a Fund would generally purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities, a Fund may dispose of such securities prior to settlement if its Sub-Investment Adviser deems it appropriate to do so. The Funds may dispose of or negotiate a when-issued or forward commitment after entering into these transactions. Such transactions are generally 52 HORACE MANN MUTUAL FUNDS 2001 FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2001 considered to be derivative transactions. The Funds will normally realize a capital gain or loss in connection with these transactions. When a Fund purchases securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis, the Fund's Custodian will maintain in a segregated account cash or liquid securities having a value (determined daily) at least equal to the amount of the Fund's purchase commitments. In the case of a forward commitment to sell portfolio securities, the Custodian will hold the portfolio securities themselves in a segregated account while the commitment is outstanding. These procedures are designed to ensure that the Fund will maintain sufficient assets at all times to cover its obligations under when-issued purchases, forward commitments and delayed delivery transactions. C.Federal income taxes -- It is the Funds' policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all taxable income to their shareholders. No provision has been made for federal income or excise taxes. Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the record date. Net investment income for federal income tax purposes includes paydown gains and losses on mortgage backed securities and gains and losses realized on foreign currency transactions. These gains and losses are reclassified as net realized gains and losses for financial reporting purposes. The Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, and International Equity Fund intend to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow them to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2001 the Equity Fund had an accumulated capital loss carry forward for tax purposes of $61,825,975 which will expire on December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2001 the Balanced Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and International Equity Fund, had an accumulated capital loss carry forward for tax purposes of $10,503,078, $22,900,999, and $9,018,487, respectively, which will expire on December 31, 2009. Net realized gains or losses differ for financial reporting and tax purposes as a result of losses from wash sales and the mark to market of foreign currency contracts and passive foreign investment companies. D.Dividends and distributions -- Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are paid out annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/losses under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences arise between book and tax basis reporting for the year ending December 31, 2001. For tax purposes, the Income Fund had a reclassification for MBS paydowns from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated net gain (loss) in the amount of $190,000. The Equity Fund, Income Fund, International Equity Fund, and Socially Responsible Fund had a reclassification for foreign currency transactions from accumulated net gain (loss) to accumulated undistributed net investment income in the amount of $15, $184,571, $71,068, and $75, respectively. The Small Cap Growth Fund generated a net operating loss which has been reclassified from accumulated undistributed net investment loss to paid in capital in the amount of $714,566. The Income Fund had a reclassification of distributions from accumulated net investment income to accumulated net gain (loss) in the amount of $394,364. The Socially Responsible Fund had a reclassification of distributions from accumulated net gain (loss) to accumulated undistributed net investment income in the amount of $910. Additionally, the Socially Responsible Fund had a reclassification from the sale of a REIT from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated net gain (loss) in the amount of $335. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Income Fund and Socially Responsible Fund paid long-term capital gains of $557,685 and $1,049,409, respectively. E.Use of estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 53 HORACE MANN MUTUAL FUNDS 2001 FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2001 3. OPERATING POLICIES: A.Repurchase Agreements -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by State Street Bank and Trust Company and are designated as being held on each fund's behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. Each fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. Each fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the investment adviser to be credit worthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Trustees. B.Asset Backed Securities -- These securities are secured by installment loans or leases or by revolving lines of credit. They often include credit enhancements that help limit investors exposure to the underlying credit. These securities are valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash flows compared to investments with similar durations. C.Collateralized Mortgage Obligations -- Planned Amortization Class (PAC) -- These securities have a predetermined schedule for principal repayment coupled with an enhanced degree of cash-flow certainty. A PAC security is a specific class of mortgages which usually carry the most stable cash flows and the lowest amount of prepayment risk. These securities are valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash flows compared to investments with similar durations. D.American Depository Receipts (ADR) -- A certificate issued by an American bank to evidence ownership of original foreign shares. The certificate is transferable and can be traded. The original foreign stock certificate is deposited with a foreign branch or correspondent bank of the issuing American bank. E.Commission Credits -- Bernstein Investment Research and Management Unit, Mellon Equity Associates, LLP and Wellington Management Company, LLP, subadvisers for the Equity Fund, seek the best price and execution on each transaction and negotiates commission rates solely on the execution requirements of each trade. Occasionally, they place, under a directed brokerage arrangement, common stock trades with a broker/dealer who credits to the funds part of the commissions paid. F.Earnings Credits on Cash Balances -- During 2001, the Funds' custody fee was reduced as a result of credits earned on overnight cash balances. G.Foreign Currency Transactions -- The books and records of the funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: . market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and . purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign currency, and gains and losses between the ex-dividend and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses is reflected as a component of such gains or losses. 54 HORACE MANN MUTUAL FUNDS 2001 FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2001 H.Forward Currency Contracts -- The Income Fund and International Equity Fund may enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the differences between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contract is included in net realized gain or loss from foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2001 the Income and International Equity Funds had the following open forward currency contracts:

5. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES A.Horace Mann Educators Corporation (HMEC) is the parent company of Horace Mann Investors, Inc. (Investors) and Horace Mann Service Corporation (HMSC) and indirectly owns HMLIC. Collectively, these companies are referred to as Horace Mann. On August 10, 2001 Bernstein Investment Research and Management Unit (Bernstein) replaced Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. as the subadviser on the Socially Responsible Fund. Effective October 19, 2001 Small Cap Growth Fund employed a multi-manager strategy using two subadvisers -- BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. and Mazama Capital Management. 56 HORACE MANN MUTUAL FUNDS 2001 FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 2001 Each subadviser's fees are paid by the adviser out of the advisory fees that it receives from each of the funds. Fees paid to a subadviser of a fund with multiple subadvisers depends upon the fee rate negotiated with the adviser and upon the percentage of the fund's assets allocated to that subadviser by the adviser, which may vary from time to time. Thus, the basis for fees paid to any such subadviser is not constant, and the relative amounts of fees paid to the various subadvisers of a fund will fluctuate. These internal fluctuations, however, will not affect the total advisory fees paid by a fund, which will remain fixed on the terms described below. The adviser may, however, determine in its discretion to waive a portion of its fee if internal fluctuations in the fee to be paid to the subadvisers results in excess profit to the adviser. Because the adviser will pay each subadviser's fees out of its own fees from the Funds, there will not be any "duplication" of advisory fees paid by the Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2001, services provided and expenses assumed pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser received a fee based on each fund's average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates. For the same period, the adviser waived fees in the amounts listed below.
Fund Rate Fees waived Equity Fund 0.400% $230,687 Balanced Fund* 0.400 -- Income Fund 0.400 66,726 Short-Term Investment Fund 0.125 -- Small Cap Growth Fund 1.150 102,708 International Equity Fund 0.850 1,091 Socially Responsible Fund 0.700 111,802
*EffectiveJanuary 19, 2000, the Balanced Fund began operating under a "fund of funds" structure, primarily investing in shares of the Equity Fund and the Income Fund. Under the "fund of funds" arrangement, the Adviser receives directly from the Balanced Fund a fee of 0.400% of the average daily net assets of the Balanced Fund that are not invested in another Fund. B.Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Funds, Investors provides for the management of the business affairs of each fund, including, but not limited to, office space, clerical services, bookkeeping and other similar services. For the year ended December 31, 2001, Investors received a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based upon the combined assets for the Funds as follows:
Net Assets Rate On initial $1 billion 0.250% Over $ 1 billion 0.200%
C.Pursuant to a Support Services Agreement, HMLIC provides certain services to the Funds necessary to coordinate the Funds' activities with those of the Separate Account of HMLIC other than the administrative agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2001, HMLIC received a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based upon the combined assets for the Funds as follows:
Net Assets Rate On initial $1 billion 0.150% Over $ 1 billion 0.100%
D.Transfer and dividend disbursing agent services are provided by HMSC on a per account basis. The transfer agent fees for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $31,486 for the Equity Fund, $24 each for the Balanced, Income, Short-Term, Small Cap Growth, International Equity and Socially Responsible Funds.

58 Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The Horace Mann Mutual Funds: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, of the Horace Mann Mutual Funds (the Funds), consisting of the Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Short-Term Investment Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, and Socially Responsible Fund as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years presented in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned at December 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by the application of alternative auditing procedures where broker replies were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2001, the results of their operations for the period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years presented in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
