Stoneville Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Quarters Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the instructions to Form 10Q and do not include all of the information and note
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and must be
read in conjunction with the 1999 annual statement. The accompanying financial
statements have not been audited by independent accountants in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management, the
accompanying interim unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to summarize fairly the statement of financial position and results of
operations of the Company for the interim periods.
2. Consolidation of Subsidiaries
In January, 1999, the Company formed Stoneville Service Company, Inc., a Mississippi
corporation owned entirely by Stoneville Insurance Company. Stoneville Service Company, Inc.
provides claims and risk control services primarily to Arkansas groups that are self-funded
for workers’ compensation purposes.
In May, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of American
Colonial Insurance Company, an Arkansas property and casualty insurance company.
Immediately after the acquisition, the name was changed to Stoneville Insurance
Company of Arkansas. The Company writes small premium workers’ compensation
insurance in Arkansas and reinsures other workers’ compensation carriers on a
limited risk basis. The Company also provides claims administration and program
management services for these insurance programs through its Arkansas subsidiary.
The accompanying financial statements present the Company and its subsidiaries,
Stoneville Service Company, Inc. and Stoneville Insurance Company of Arkansas,
on a consolidated basis. All material inter-company profits, transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
3. Operations of the Company
The Company was formed to become the successor to the Delta Agricultural and
Industrial Trust, a Mississippi self-funded workers compensation trust. The
Company entered the workers compensation market in the first quarter of 1998 as
a reinsurer and began direct writing of workers’ compensation insurance in
the fourth quarter of 1998. In July, 1998, the Company began providing claims
and risk control services as well as program management services to the
insurance programs being reinsured by the Company. In January, 1999, the Company
began providing claims and risk control services to Arkansas self-funded
workers’ compensation groups through its newly formed subsidiary,
Stoneville Service Company, Inc.
The Company also began duplicating its Mississippi workers’ compensation
programs in Arkansas through Stoneville Insurance Company of Arkansas in the
third quarter of 1999.

4. Assets Pledged
All of the $922,825 in securities available-for-sale and approximately $500,000 in
cash is pledged collateral for letters of credit issued to an insurance carrier
that the Company reinsures on a quota share basis. A claim may be made against
the letter of credit if the ceding insurer is unable to pay claims from premiums
collected by it.
5. Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") is based upon
case reserve reports received from ceding insurance companies and the
company’s own estimates. Loss and LAE reserves also include estimates of
incurred but not reported losses based on past experience modified for current
trends and estimates of expenses for investigating and settling claims. It is
the company’s policy not to discount such reserves. Management believes
that the reserve for loss and LAE as of September 30, 2000 is adequate to cover
ultimate gross cost of losses and LAE incurred through September 30, 2000. The
reserve is based on estimates of losses and LAE incurred and, therefore, the
amount ultimately paid may be more or less than such estimates.
6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is based on net income or (loss) and the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each interim period. The number of
shares used in computing earnings per share is 503,384 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition - September 30, 2000 Compared to December 31, 1999
Total shareholders' equity increased by $83,976 or 4.7% from $1,785,078 at December 31, 1999 to $1,869,054 at September 30, 2000. This increase in total shareholders' equity resulted from net income from operations of $80,938 for the first nine months of 2000 and an unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $3,038.
Total assets increased by $399,887 or 8.8% at September 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. This increase was due to an increase in accounts receivable of $239,137, most of which were collected early in the fourth quarter of 2000. Premium receivable increased by $307,229 due primarily to an increase in written premium for customers choosing a deferred payment option. Cash and investments decreased a total of $10,603 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Reinsurance recoverable decreased by $89,263, during the first nine months of 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. Deferred tax assets decreased by $51,745 as a result of net operating income during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Total liabilities increased by $315,911 or 11.5% at September 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $156,070 and an increase in unearned premium of $398,935. Both of these liabilities increased as a result of increased premium written and assumed during the first nine months of 2000. Funds advanced under reinsurance contracts decreased by $284,172 as a result of the payment of certain reinsurance obligations.
Results of Operations
Third Quarter 2000 Compared to Third Quarter 1999
The Company experienced a net income of $65,831 during the third quarter of 2000 compared to a net loss of $57,341 during the third quarter of 1999. This increase in net income was due primarily to fees generated in connection with the assumption of the insurance obligations of another workers compensation carrier in early 2000 and to increased fee-based revenue. Total revenue increased by $299,816 to $1,146,130 in the third quarter of 2000 compared to $846,314 in the same period in 1999.
In the area of fee based services, which the Company has emphasized over its risk taking activities during the last twelve months, administrative and management fees increased by $217,255 to $559,372 in the third quarter of 2000 compared to $342,117 in the same period in 1999. The Company intends to continue to focus on this line of business for the foreseeable future.
As a result of the Company’s decision in mid 1999 to reduce the amount of risk it retains on direct written insurance business, the Company’s net premiums earned as a percentage of direct business written has declined. However, due to increased volume, net premiums earned increased from $480,345 in the third quarter of 1999 to $500,887 in the third quarter of 2000. Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $417,282 during the third quarter of 2000 compared to $378,348 in the same period in 1999. Other expenses directly associated with the Company’s insurance programs totaled $178,537 during the third quarter of 2000 compared to $145,912 in the third quarter of 1999. The Company plans to continue its policy of retaining the smallest amount of risk possible on any direct insurance business it writes.
Investment income of the Company increased from $23,852 in the third quarter of 1999 to $38,526 in the third quarter of 2000. The increase in cash available for investment in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999 was due to increased collections of fee-based income.
General expenses increased from $414,218 in the third quarter of 1999 to $442,393 in the third quarter of 2000. This increase in general expenses was due primarily to the costs associated with the growth of the Company’s claims administration operation.
The Company recorded an income tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 in the amount of $42,087 compared to a tax benefit for the same quarter in 1999 of $34,823.
9
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to September 30, 1999
The Company experienced a net income of $80,938 during the first nine months of 2000 compared to a net loss of $204,039 during the same period in 1999. The increase in net income was due primarily to income generated in connection with the assumption of the insurance obligations of another workers compensation carrier in early 2000 and an increase in the company’s fee based income. Total revenue increased by $961,127 to $3,224,624 in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $2,263,497 in the same period in 1999.
Administrative and management fees increased $483,648 to $1,394,980 in the first nine months of 2000 compared to $911,332 in the same period in 1999.
Net premiums earned increased from $1,250,277 in the first nine months of 1999 to $1,505,644 in the same period of 2000. Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $1,183,749 during the nine months of 2000 compared to $1,038,415 in the same period in 1999. Other expenses directly associated with the Company’s insurance programs totaled $469,549 during the first nine months of 2000 compared to $372,493 in the first nine months of 1999.
Investment income of the Company increased from $73,392 in the first nine months of 1999 to $95,423 in the first nine months of 2000. The increase in cash available for investment in 2000 compared to 1999 was due to increased collections of fee-based income.
General expenses increased from $1,187,975 during the first nine months of 1999 compared to $1,438,643 in the first nine months of 2000. This increase in general expenses was due primarily to the costs associated with the growth of the Company’s claims administration operations.
The Company recorded an income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 in the amount of $51,745 compared to a tax benefit for the same period in 1999 of $131,347.
