OLDWICK, N.J.--(Business Wire)--A.M Best Co. has affirmed the financial strength rating of B+ (Good) and issuercredit rating (ICR) of "bbb-" of Investors Heritage Life Insurance Company(Investors Heritage Life) (Frankfort, KY) Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmedthe ICR of "bb-" of its holding company, Investors Heritage Capital Corporation(formerly known as Kentucky Investors Inc.) [IHRC.OB] The outlook for allratings is stable. The ratings reflect Investors Heritage Life`s adequate level of risk-adjustedcapitalization and historically stable operating profitability.

At year-end2008, risk-adjusted capitalization declined due to a loss of absolute capitaland surplus. This loss in capital and surplus was driven by the net loss inrealized capital losses, which is attributable to other-than-temporaryimpairments in the investment portfolio. However, net operating earnings haveremained positive over the last five years. Partially offsetting the above positive rating factors are the decline in directpremiums written over the past five years despite Investors Heritage Life`sniche presence in the preneed marketplace and high level of mortgage loansrelative to capital.
