NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which reflect
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) that management
believes necessary to fairly present results of interim operations, should be
read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(including the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) included in the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1996, which are included in the Company's Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K for such year (the "1996 10-K"). Results of operations for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. The
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1996 was extracted from the audited
annual financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements.
2. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
the 1997 presentation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Interim Operations
The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the
1996 10-K.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Although the Company has been profitable for the first six months of
1997, it had a modest loss in the three month period ended June 30, 1997
mainly due to reduced earned premiums and higher losses incurred due to
reserve strengthening for prior accident years. For the six and three month
periods ended June 30, 1997, the Company had a negative cash flow from
operations principally due to decreased premiums and increased loss and loss
adjustment expense payments. Cash required to fund operations was principally
provided from the maturity of short-term investments.
The Company maintains cash, short-term and readily marketable securities
in an amount sufficient to satisfy its anticipated cash needs and believes it
has sufficient capital to meet its currently anticipated level of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO
THE SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Earned premium revenues were $43.0 million and $49.8 million for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $20.8 million
and $24.9 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The decreases in earned premiums principally relates to the
depopulation of the assigned risk automobile pools and reduced volume in
certain commercial lines resulting from tighter underwriting standards and
increased competition.
Although investment income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was
relatively flat when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996,
investment income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $0.3 million, or
3%, lower than the six months 1996. This decrease resulted mainly from the
decrease in invested assets experienced by the Company in the first quarter
1997 caused by the negative cash flow from operations.
Service fee income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $0.8
million, or 28%, higher than the six months 1996 largely as a result of
reductions in the estimates of fees earned as a servicing carrier for the New
York Public Automobile Pool and assigned risk business in the first quarter
1996. Service fee income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $0.2
million, or 9%, higher compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996 mainly
due to increased fees earned on the New York Public Automobile Pool.
Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses for the six month and three
month periods ended June 30, 1997 were $4.0 million, or 9%, and $2.0 million,
or 9%, lower, respectively, than in the comparable 1996 periods mainly as a
result of the reduced volume of business. The loss ratios (the ratio of
incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses to premiums earned) for the six
month and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 were 94.0% and 98.6%,
respectively, compared to 89.3% and 90.5% for the six month and three month
periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The increases in the loss ratios
in 1997 were primarily the result of reserve strengthening for prior accident
years in the commercial multiple peril and commercial automobile lines
of business, higher loss reserves provided on assigned risk business, arising
from a depopulating New York Automobile Insurance Plan, and increased levels
of new voluntary private passenger automobile business.
The combination of other underwriting expenses and the amortization of
deferred policy acquisition costs for the six month and three month periods
ended June 30, 1997 were $2.3 million, or 15%, and $1.1 million, or 16%,
lower, respectively, than in the comparable 1996 periods. These decreases
were largely the result of an increase in service fee credits and lower
operating costs related to reduced premium volume in 1997 and certain unusual
expense charges which were recorded during the first quarter of 1996.
Part II - Other Information
Item 5. Other Information
In June 1997, the Company formed a special committee to evaluate a
proposal from Leucadia National Corporation ("Leucadia") for a
business combination pursuant to which shares of the Company's
common stock not currently beneficially owned by Leucadia would be
acquired at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Affiliates of
Leucadia currently beneficially own approximately 90% of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The special
committee, which consists of directors of the Company unaffiliated
with Leucadia, is currently evaluating the proposal.
