REGAN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Financial Information
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of Regan Holding Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Legacy Marketing Group (“LMG”), Legacy Financial Services, Inc., Legacy Advisory Services, Inc., Legacy Reinsurance Company, and LifeSurance Corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. |
The statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet data at December 31, 1998, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. Users of these financial statements are encouraged to refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 for additional disclosure. |
2. Restatement of Financial Results
During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company originally recorded stock option expense of $1,384,000 related to 2,132,507 stock options granted to independent insurance producers (“Producers”) in January 2000 pursuant to Regan Holding Corp.’s Producer Stock Option and Award plan. The number of options granted was based on the Producers’ sales performance during 1999. In connection with a review of the Company’s stock option program, the Company determined that this expense should have been recorded during the year ended December 31, 1999, based on the Producers’ performance and the current fair value of options earned at each interim reporting date. As a result, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 have been restated to reflect $702,156 of Producer stock option expense related to the January 2000 stock option grants which were earned by Producers during the first half of 1999. The Producer stock option expenses have been recorded during the second quarter of 1999, when the Company waived the options’ vesting provisions (see Note 7). |
The effects of the restatement of the stock option expense on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 are as follows: |

3. Building Purchase and Loan
On May 7, 1999, the Company purchased for $4.3 million the building in Petaluma, California, in which the Company’s headquarters were formerly located. In conjunction with the building acquisition, the Company paid $2.2 million of the purchase price in cash and entered into a loan payable for the remaining $2.1 million. The loan has a ten year term and is payable in monthly installments plus one balloon payment of approximately $1.8 million, due on May 10, 2009. The loan bears interest at 0.5% per annum above the Prime Rate, as published in the West Coast Edition ofThe Wall Street Journal. The loan is fully guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, the loan agreement contains certain covenants with which the Company must comply, including restrictions on indebtedness or investments outside the ordinary course of business and restrictions on dividends or other changes in the Company’s capital structure. One of the covenants requires management to obtain lender approval prior to repurchasing non-redeemable common stock. On August 12, 1999 the Lender waived this requirement for repurchases through July 31, 1999. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company was also required to place approximately $650,000 in reserve to cover loan payments in the event of default and to provide for certain repair costs. |
Aggregate principal payments for the five years subsequent to June 30, 1999 are as follows: |
Year | Principal | |||
Six months ended December 31, 1999 | $ | 12,763 | ||
Year ended December 31, 2000 | 27,166 | |||

Year ended December 31, 2002 | 32,053 | |||
Year ended December 31, 2003 | 34,817 | |||
Thereafter | 1,994,114 |
4. Deferred Compensation Payable
During 1999, $432,380 in commissions were deferred by producers under the Regan Holding Corp. Producer Commission Deferral Plan and $83,528 in compensation was deferred by key employees under the Regan Holding Corp. Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan. Such amounts have been recorded as a liability in the accompanying financial statements, plus Company matching contributions of $5,398 and accumulated earnings of $5,584. |
5. Software Licensing Fees
In March, 1999, LMG entered into a license agreement with The Leverage Group, Inc. (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which LMG has the non-exclusive right to use certain computer software programs in administering policies on behalf of the carriers with whom the Company contracts. For this right, LMG incurred an initial licensing fee of $800,000, of which $200,000 was paid in April, 1999 and two installments of $300,000 each become payable in September, 1999 and March, 2000. In addition, LMG agreed to pay monthly licensing charges of $8,333 per month, increasing each year to $22,667 per month during the eighth year, plus cost of living adjustments each year. The term of the Agreement extends through March 2007, but may be terminated by LMG with six months written notice after March |
8
2004. The $800,000 initial licensing fee has been recorded as Prepaid Software Licensing Fees, net of the current portion of $101,875 and net of amortization. The unpaid portion of the initial licensing fee payable, equal to $600,000, has been recorded as Software Licensing Fees Payable. The monthly licensing fees are being expensed as incurred. |
6. Redeemable Common Stock
The Company is obligated to repurchase certain of its shares of common stock pursuant to various agreements under which the stock was issued. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, redeemable common stock was redeemed and retired as follows: |

7. Stock Option Expense (Restated)
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded $2,022,000 of expense related to stock options that were granted to Producers in 1998 and 1999. This charge was a result of the Company’s decision to waive the options’ vesting provisions, thereby converting the options from “variable” options to “fixed” options pursuant to guidance prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, as interpreted by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-18. This charge reflects a re-measurement of the options based upon management’s best estimate of the fair value of the options at the date the vesting provisions were waived. In addition, in January 2000 the Company granted 2,132,507 stock options to Producers based on the Producers’ sales performance during 1999. As a result, the Company recorded $702,156 of Producer stock option expense during the first half of 1999 related to the January 2000 grants which were earned by Producers during the first half of 1999. The Producer stock option expenses were recorded beginning in the second quarter of 1999, when the Company waived the options’ vesting provisions. The fair value of all the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rates ranging from 4.82% to 6.59%; expected volatility ranging from 22.84% to 28.33%; and expected lives ranging from 1 to 6 years. A dividend yield assumption was not applicable, as the Company’s stock is not publicly traded nor does the Company pay dividends. |

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Internal Use Software Cost
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use(“SOP 98-1”). SOP 98-1 provides guidance on determining whether computer software is internal-use software and on accounting for the proceeds of computer software originally developed or obtained for internal use and then subsequently sold to the public. It also provides guidance on capitalization of the costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use. The adoption of SOP 98-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position of the Company during the six months ended June 30, 1999. |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
Except for historical information contained herein, certain of the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements” involve certain risks and uncertainties. All forecasts and projections in this report are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on management’s current expectations of the Company’s near-term results, based on current information available. Actual results could differ materially.
Results of Operations
Summary—The Company’s net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 36.9%, from the corresponding quarter in 1998 and increased approximately $275,000, or 6.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared with the corresponding period in 1998. The increase in the six month period and the decrease in the three month period are due primarily to increases in revenue, net of increases in non-employee stock option expense, as discussed below.
Income—The Company’s major sources of income are marketing allowances, commission overrides and administrative fees from sales and administration of annuity and life insurance products on behalf of the three insurance companies for which the Company markets and administers policies (the “Carriers”). Levels of marketing allowances and commission overrides are directly related to, and increase with, the volume of sales of such products. Administrative fees are a function not only of product sales, but also administration of policies inforce and producer appointments. Total income increased $2.9 million, or 22.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total income increased $9.3 million, or 44.5%, over the corresponding six month period in 1998.
Marketing allowances and commission income, combined, increased approximately $2.2 million, or 20.5%, in the second quarter of 1999, compared to the second quarter of 1998. Such allowances and commissions increased approximately $7.6 million, or 44.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with the six months ended June 30, 1998. These increases are due primarily to increases in the volume of sales by the Company’s distribution network on behalf of the Carriers. Premium placed inforce for the Carriers totaled approximately $529.9 million and $1.0 billion during the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to $452.5 million and $730.8 million during the same periods in 1998, representing increases of 17.1% and 40.5%. Also contributing to increases in income during the first six months of 1999 was a shift in sales mix to sales of products which yield higher marketing allowances and commission income.
Although premium placed inforce, and the resulting Company’s revenues, increased between periods, preliminary marketing statistics indicate that third quarter premium and revenue will increase less than in prior quarters or may even decrease. This trend is attributed to higher interest rates negatively affecting bond values which, in turn, lowers the annuity policies’ crediting rates. Management believes that this downward trend is temporary; however, no assurance can be given.
Approximately 22.8% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 36.6% during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was generated by LMG through sales of the VisionMark™ Annuity on behalf of IL Annuity. The current reinsurance carrier, Transamerica, has informed LMG that it will not reinsure this product beyond September 30, 1999. Management is currently working to replace the VisionMark™ product with the VisionMark II™, which will be reinsured by Reinsurance Group of America and which has been approved for sale in several states. However, approximately 15.3% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 15.4% during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was generated by sales of the VisionMark™ in Texas and Washington where the VisionMark II™ is not yet approved for sale. Management believes that the VisionMark II™ will be approved in Texas and Washington before September 30, 1999 or that reinsurance of the VisionMark™ will be extended until state approval is obtained. However, if neither of these events occur, the Company’s revenue could be adversely affected beginning the fourth quarter of 1999.
Administrative fees increased approximately $619,000, or 35.9%, in the second quarter of 1999, compared to the same period in 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, administrative fees increased
11
approximately $1.6 million, or 50.7%, over the corresponding period in 1998. These increases are due primarily to increases in the number of policies sold and administered during the period.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, 10.5%, 73.8% and 9.8% of the Company’s total revenue resulted from agreements with American National, IL Annuity, and Transamerica respectively, compared to 14.0% and 80.7% from American National and IL Annuity, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, 8.5%, 76.8%, and 9.4% of the Company’s total revenue resulted from agreements with American National, IL Annuity, and Transamerica, respectively, compared with 14.3% and 78.9% from American National and IL Annuity, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Sales and administration of Transamerica products did not begin until the third quarter of 1998.
Expenses—Total expenses increased approximately $4.7 million, or 59.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998 and $8.7 million, or 64.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the corresponding six months of 1998. These increases are attributable primarily to increases in compensation, sales promotion and support and stock option expenses, as discussed below.
As a service organization, the Company’s primary expenses are salaries and related employee benefits, which increased approximately $1.7 million, or 39.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998, and approximately $3.7 million, or 48.3%, in the first six months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average number of full-time equivalent employees, which rose to 418 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared with 265 during the quarter ended June 30, 1998. This increase in employment was necessary to accommodate increases in sales volume, as discussed above. Such increases in employment were primarily in operations at lower pay levels. Therefore, salaries and employee benefits did not increase as significantly as the increase in the number of employees.
Sales promotion and support expense consists primarily of costs relating to the Company’s annual national sales conventions, incentives paid to higher-level independent insurance producers (“Producers”) for recruitment and development of additional Producers, and costs relating to various sales meetings and training activities. Also included in sales promotion and support expense is the cost of designing and printing sales brochures for use by Producers. It is expected that these expenses will continue to be a major element of the Company’s cost structure, as attendance at the national sales conventions increases, as the number of Producers marketing products for the Company increases, and as new products are introduced. This expense increased approximately $859,000, or 91.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 1998, and approximately $1.9 million, or 95.2%, in the first six months of 1999, compared to the same period in 1998. These increases are due primarily to awards of the Company’s common stock and additional commissions to wholesalers who recruited and developed Producers who reached certain sales milestones.
During the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded $2,022,000 of stock option expense related to stock options that were granted to Producers in 1998 and 1999. This charge was a result of the Company’s decision to waive the options’ vesting provisions, thereby converting the options from “variable” options to “fixed” options pursuant to guidance prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, as interpreted by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 96-18. In addition, in January 2000 the Company granted 2,132,507 stock options to Producers based on the Producers’ sales performance during 1999. As a result, the Company recorded $702,156 of Producer stock option expense during the first half of 1999 related to the January 2000 grants which were earned by Producers during the first half of 1999. The Producer stock option expenses were recorded beginning in the second quarter of 1999, when the Company waived the options’ vesting provisions.
12
Professional fees increased approximately $149,000, or 50.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with the corresponding period in 1998, and approximately $254,000, or 44.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with the corresponding period in 1998. These increases are primarily the result of consulting fees related to various information systems projects.
In order to avoid protracted future litigation, the Company’s principal subsidiary, LMG, together with American National, entered into an agreement to settle a lawsuit filed in Jefferson County, Alabama, LMG’s net cost of the settlement, approximately $1.1 million, was recorded as an expense during the second quarter of 1998. No such settlement occurred during 1999.
Occupancy expense increased approximately $153,000, or 65.8%, during the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998, and $297,000, or 62.9%, for the six month period ended June 30, 1999, due primarily to maintenance costs related to additional leased space in Petaluma, California and Rome, Georgia.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Included in investments at March 31, 1999 is $12.0 million representing an equity investment in Indianapolis Life Group of Companies (“Indianapolis Group”), an affiliate of IL Annuity. Management expects that this investment will be returned to LMG during late 1999 pursuant to the terms of the Investment and Funding Agreement between LMG, Indianapolis Group and other parties. If, however, certain events which trigger the return of the investment by year end do not occur, these funds could be invested in Indianapolis Group for up to eight years at a yield to equal that earned by the Indianapolis Group on this investment portfolio.
On May 7, 1999, the Company and its subsidiaries purchased for $4.3 million the building in Petaluma, California, in which the Company’s headquarters were previously located. In conjunction with the building acquisition, the Company paid $2.2 million of the purchase price in cash and entered into a loan payable for the remaining $2.1 million. The loan has a ten year term and is payable in monthly installments plus one balloon payment of approximately $1.8 million, due on May 10, 2009. The loan bears interest at 0.5% per annum above the Prime Rate, as published in the West Coast Edition ofThe Wall Street Journal. The loan is fully guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. In addition, the loan agreement contains certain covenants with which the company must comply, including restrictions on indebtedness or investments outside the ordinary cause of business and restrictions on dividends or other changes in the Company’s capital structure. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company was required to place approximately $650,000 in reserve to cover loan payments in the event of default and to provide for certain repair costs. Management believes that cash and investments on hand, plus cash generated by ongoing operating activities, are adequate to meet the Company’s needs for cash, both on a long-term and a short-term basis.
Year 2000
As the year 2000 approaches, a critical business issue has emerged regarding how existing application software and operating systems can accommodate this date value. In brief, many existing application software products in the marketplace were designed to only accommodate a two digit date position which represents the year (e.g. ‘95 is stored in the system and represents the year 1995). As a result, the year 1999 (i.e.’99) could be the maximum date value these systems will be able to accurately process. Management has developed and fully implemented a plan to insure that the Company will be year 2000 compliant. This plan consisted of the following four stages: (i) conducting an inventory of all hardware, software and support systems; (ii) assessing whether such hardware, software and support systems are year 2000 compliant; (iii) correcting or replacing any non-compliant hardware, software and support systems; and (iv) testing to ensure that all corrections or replacements made pursuant to the third phase of the plan are functioning properly. The four stages of the Company’s year 2000 plan have been completed for mission-critical systems. Management is of the opinion that there are no significant barriers to being able to conduct normal business operations during the transition to year 2000 and beyond.
The Company is also working closely with significant customers and vendors to ensure that their systems will be fully year 2000 compliant. However, there can be no assurance that potential interruptions due to year 2000
13
would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.
