NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited financial statements and other disclosures included in the Company's most recent Form 10-K. 5 NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (2) FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Forward-looking statements in this report are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Readers are encouraged to review the Company's annual report for its full statement regarding forward-looking information. (3) NET GAINS ON INVESTMENTS: Amounts reported as net gains on investments consist of three components: (1) net gains or losses realized upon the actual sale of investments managed directly by the Company's investment managers, (2) equity in earnings or losses of investments in limited partnerships and (3) "other-than-temporary impairment" adjustments. The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships using the equity method of accounting, which requires an investor in a limited partnership to record its proportionate share of the limited partnership's net income. To the extent that the limited partnership investees include both realized and unrealized investment gains or losses in the determination of net income or loss, then the Company would also recognize, through its income statement, its proportionate share of the investee's unrealized as well as realized investment gains or losses. The Company invests in limited partnerships that include both realized and unrealized investment gains or losses in the determination of their net income. Readers are cautioned that inclusion of such unrealized gains is not consistent with the recognition of temporary valuation changes of equity and debt securities that are directly owned and held for sale and may result in significant fluctuations in quarterly amounts reported under this caption. In addition, because of inherent time lags in receiving valuation reports from certain limited partnership investees, the Company must often rely on estimations of valuation changes for the most recent month or quarter ended on the reporting date. To the extent that the actual valuations subsequently reported differ from estimates utilized, the differences are included in gains or losses from investments in the quarter reported to the Company. Following is a summary of the components of net gains on investments for the periods presented in the accompanying statements of income. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2007 2006 ---------------- ---------------- Realized net gains on the disposal of securities $ 466 $ 1,754 Equity in earnings (losses) of limited partnership investments (realized and unrealized) (897) 4,728 Impairment: Write-downs based upon objective criteria (63) - Recovery of prior write-downs upon sale or disposal 968 532 ---------------- ---------------- Totals $ 474 $ 7,014 ================ ================ 6 NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The net losses from limited partnerships for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 include an estimated $3.6 million of unrealized losses reported to the Company as part of the operations of the various limited partnerships. Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2007 includes approximately $14.9 million, net of deferred federal income taxes, of earnings undistributed by limited partnerships. (4) REINSURANCE: The following table summarizes the Company's transactions with reinsurers for the 2007 and 2006 comparative periods. 2007 2006 ------------ ------------ Quarter ended March 31: Premiums ceded to reinsurers $ 6,117 $ 7,606 Losses and loss expenses ceded to reinsurers 4,410 1,900 Commissions from reinsurers 292 690 (5) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OR LOSS: Total realized and unrealized income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $7,782 and compares to total realized and unrealized income of $14,735 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. 7 NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (6) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS - PROFIT OR LOSS: The following table provides certain profit and loss information for each reportable segment. All amounts presented are computed based upon generally accepted accounting principles. Segment profit for fleet trucking includes the direct marketing agency operations conducted by the parent company for this segment and is computed after elimination of inter-company commissions.

The underlying securities serve as collateral for these loans, which must be repaid no later than 10 years from the date of issue. No additional loans will be made under this program. (9) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES - AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT 109 ("FIN 48"). Among other things, FIN 48 creates a model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold which all income tax positions must achieve to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In addition, FIN 48 requires expanded annual disclosures, including a roll-forward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 with no adjustment necessary to beginning retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions at January 1, 2007 was $10.3 million and would have no impact on the Company's effective tax rate. There were no material changes to the amount recorded for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense and changes in such accruals would impact the Company's effective tax rate. Amounts accrued for the payment of interest at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were not material. As of January 1, 2007, the Company's 2005 and 2006 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. 9 ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OF OPERATIONS - ------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- The Company generally experiences positive cash flow from operations resulting from the fact that premiums are collected on insurance policies in advance of the disbursement of funds in payment of claims. Operating costs of the property/casualty insurance subsidiaries, other than loss and loss expense payments and commissions paid to related agency companies, generally average less than 30% of premiums earned and the remaining amount is available for investment for varying periods of time pending the settlement of claims relating to the insurance coverage provided. The Company's cash flow relating to premiums is significantly affected by reinsurance programs in effect from time-to-time whereby the Company cedes both premium and risk to other insurance and reinsurance companies. These programs vary significantly among products and overall premium ceded rates, net of ceding commission allowances, have generally decreased since 2001, as Protective Insurance Company has accepted more net risk under the terms of annual reinsurance treaty renewals. For the quarter ended March, 2007, the Company experienced positive cash flow from operations totaling $8.7 million and compares to $12.8 million generated during the first quarter of 2006. The $4.1 million drop in cash flow from the 2006 period is due primarily to increased loss payment activity in the 2007 period. For several years, the Company's investment philosophy has emphasized the purchase of relatively short-term instruments with maximum quality and liquidity. The average life of the Company's fixed income (bond and short-term investment) portfolio was 3.4 years at March 31, 2007, up slightly from the prior year end but still short relative to the Company's liability duration. Financing activity, other than the payment of dividends to shareholders, is generally not significant for the Company. Dividends paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 totaled $6.8 million and included extra dividends ($.20 per share) totaling $3.0 million. With the regular quarterly dividend rate at $.25 per share, the quarterly dividend commitment for the Company is currently $3.8 million. The Company's assets at March 31, 2007 included $30.8 million in investments classified as cash or cash equivalents that were readily convertible to cash without significant market penalty. An additional $134.5 million of fixed maturity investments will mature within the twelve-month period following March 31, 2007. The Company believes that these liquid investments are more than sufficient to provide for projected claim payments and operating cost demands even before consideration of current cash flows. Consolidated shareholders' equity is composed largely of GAAP shareholder's equity of the insurance subsidiaries. As such, there are statutory restrictions on the transfer of portions of this equity to the parent holding company. At March 31, 2007, $21.7 million may be transferred by dividend or loan to the parent company during the remainder of 2007 without approval by, or prior notification to, regulatory authorities. An additional $255.9 million of shareholder's equity of the insurance subsidiaries could, theoretically, be advanced or loaned to the parent holding company with prior notification to, and approval from, regulatory authorities, although it is unlikely that transfers of this size would be practical. The Company believes that these restrictions pose no material liquidity concerns to the Company. The financial strength and stability of the subsidiaries would permit ready access by the parent company to short-term and long-term sources of credit. The parent company had cash and marketable securities valued at $30.6 million at March 31, 2007. 10 The Company's annualized premium writing to surplus ratio for the first quarter of 2007 was approximately 41%. Regulatory guidelines generally allow for writings of at least 200% of surplus. Accordingly, the Company could increase premium writings significantly with no need to raise additional capital. Further, the insurance subsidiaries' individual capital levels are several times higher than the minimum amounts designated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- COMPARISONS OF FIRST QUARTER, 2007 TO FIRST QUARTER, 2006 --------------------------------------------------------- Net premiums earned during the first quarter of 2007 increased $1.0 million (2%) as compared to the same period of 2006. The Company's independent contractor, voluntary reinsurance assumed and small fleet products reported significant increases of $2.9 million (21%), $2.8 million (99%) and $1.5 million (52%), respectively. The higher premium from reinsurance assumed is associated with the Company's affiliation with Paladin Catastrophe Management which produced $2.7 million in premium during the first quarter. Increases in independent contractor and small fleet premiums continued the pattern experienced throughout 2006.These increases were partially offset by decreases in the Company's large fleet excess and private passenger automobile products of $4.8 million (42%) and $1.4 million (15%), respectively, each impacted by competitive market conditions. NOTE: THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND LARGE FLEET EXCESS PRODUCTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE FLEET TRUCKING SEGMENT. Direct premiums written and assumed during the first quarter of 2007 totaled $53.1 million, a 10% decrease from the $58.9 million reported a year earlier with the lower premium concentrated in the large fleet and private passenger automobile products, as discussed in the previous paragraph. Premium ceded to reinsurers averaged 13.0% of direct premium production for the current quarter compared to 13.7% a year earlier. Net investment income, before tax, during the first quarter of 2007 was 6% higher than the first quarter of 2006 due to increases in yields in all categories of investments. Pre-tax yields averaged 4.2% during the current quarter compared to 3.7% for the prior year period, offsetting the impact of a 4% drop in average invested assets. Overall after-tax yields increased by 20% to 3.3% as municipal bonds comprised a larger portion of the Company's fixed income portfolio during 2007. The first quarter 2007 net investment gains of $.5 million resulted primarily from $1.6 million of gains on equity securities, including $.9 million in recoveries of prior impairment charges upon the sale of the related investments. These gains were partially offset by losses from limited partnerships and fixed maturities of $.9 million and $.2 million, respectively. The first quarter 2006 investment gains of $7.0 million included $4.7 of gains from limited partnerships. See footnote 3 to the enclosed financial statements for a more detailed discussion regarding the accounting policies and the net gains or losses reported for the Company's investments in limited partnerships. Losses and loss expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2007 were $2.0 million lower than that experienced during the first quarter of 2006 and is generally consistent with the decline in fleet trucking premiums other than independent contractor. The Company also experienced favorable frequency and severity of accidents for the fleet trucking segment in the current quarter. Loss ratios for each of the Company's major product lines were as follows: 11 2007 2006 ---- ---- Fleet trucking 65.2% 74.8% Private passenger automobile 62.1 59.6 Small fleet trucking 55.7 69.0 Voluntary reinsurance assumed 48.4 33.3 All lines 60.9 67.0 Other operating expenses, for the first quarter of 2007, increased $2.1 million, or 19%, from the first quarter of 2006. $.4 million of this increase was attributable to the loss of ceding commission income associated with reinsurance treaty changes effective in June, 2005. Ceding allowances totaled $.3 million for the 2007 quarter compared to $.7 million for the 2006 quarter. In addition, operating expenses for the first quarter of 2006 included a $.9 million recovery of previously written off reinsurance from bankrupt companies. The remainder of the increase is attributable to contingent commissions on reinsurance assumed business and commissions on new reinsurance assumed placements during the first quarter of 2007. The ratio of consolidated other operating expenses to operating revenue was 25.5% during the first quarter of 2007 compared to 21.7% for the 2006 first quarter. The effective federal tax rate for consolidated operations for the first quarter of 2007 was 26.5% and is less than the statutory rate primarily because of tax exempt investment income. As a result of the factors mentioned above, principally from lower limited partnership investment gains, net income decreased $3.3 million (28.9%) during the first quarter of 2007 as compared with 2006. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION --------------------------- Any forward-looking statements in this report, including without limitation, statements relating to the Company's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including without limitation the following: (i) the Company's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at the discretion of the Company; (ii) the Company's business is highly competitive and the entrance of new competitors into or the expansion of the operations by existing competitors in the Company's markets and other changes in the market for insurance products could adversely affect the Company's plans and results of operations; (iii) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (iv) other risks and factors which may be beyond the control or foresight of the Company. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------- There have been no changes in the Company's critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2006. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK ----------------------------- The insurance subsidiaries cede portions of their gross premiums to numerous reinsurers under quota share and excess of loss treaties as well as facultative placements. These reinsurers assume commensurate portions of the risk of loss covered by the contracts. As losses are reported and reserved, portions of the gross losses attributable to reinsurers are established as receivable assets and losses incurred are reduced. At March 31, 2007, amounts due from reinsurers on paid and 12 unpaid losses, including provisions for incurred but not reported losses, are estimated to total approximately $159 million. Included in this total are case basis and estimated IBNR losses of approximately $13.6 million due from Converium Insurance (North America) Inc. and $2.9 million due from PMA Re., each of which have reported substantial reserve strengthening and/or impairment of assets which have negatively affected their reported financial positions. All amounts due from these reinsurers on paid claims are current as of March 31, 2007 and the Company has no information at this time to indicate that all obligations of these reinsurers will not be met. At March 31, 2007, limited partnership investments includes approximately $37.9 million consisting of three partnerships which are managed by organizations in which certain of the Company's directors are officers, directors, general partners or owners. Each of these investments contain profit sharing agreements to the affiliated organizations. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - ------------------------------- (a) The Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. (b) There were no significant changes in the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation that occurred during the Corporation's last fiscal quarter that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION - ------------------------ Nothing to report.
