also increased additional paid-in capital by approximately $855,000.
THE MIDLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A detailed discussion of the Company's liquidity and capital resources
is included in the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as discussed below,
no significant changes have taken place since that date and, accordingly, the
discussion is not repeated herein.
The Company's property and casualty insurance division continues to grow
due primarily to increased penetration in each of its marketing channels. Both
written premiums and earned premiums have increased during the first nine months
and third quarter of 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994. The
increases in accounts receivable, deferred insurance policy acquisition costs,
other payables and accruals, unearned premiums, loss reserves, insurance
revenues, claims and policy acquisition costs and insurance operating and
administrative expenses are all due to this growth. The operating performance
of this division improved during the first nine months and third quarter of 1995
as compared to the same periods of 1994 due to fewer weather-related losses in
1995 than 1994 and the devastating California earthquake that struck in the
first quarter of 1994. The Company's combined ratio, the ratio of losses and
expenses to premiums earned, improved favorably from 101.6% for the first nine
months of 1994 to 97.4% for the same period in 1995. Pre-tax realized capital
gains were $2,183,000 in the first nine months of 1995 compared to $2,314,000
during the first nine months of 1994.
Transportation revenues and related expenses of the Company's
transportation division decreased during the first nine months and third quarter
of 1995 as compared to the comparable periods in 1994 due to this division's
sale in December, 1994 of approximately 67% of its river transportation
equipment as well as its affreightment contracts. The operating performance of
this division (revenues less operating expenses and interest) improved during
the first nine months of 1995 as compared to the prior year nine month period
due primarily to the severe winter weather and flooding conditions which
adversely impacted the division's performance during the first quarter of 1994.
As previously reported, M/G Transport Services, Inc. is the subject of a
criminal prosecution and related civil litigation concerning the alleged
disposal of bilge water and other refuse from vessels on the inland waterways.
M/G disputes the allegations which give rise to the indictments and intends to
vigorously defend itself; the outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time.
Sportswear revenues and related expenses as well as the overall
operating performance of the Company's sportswear division decreased in the
first nine months and third quarter of 1995 relative to the comparable periods
in 1994. These declines were reflective of a general downturn within the entire
sportswear apparel industry which is affecting numerous companies within the
industry. Reacting to this condition, Crable's revamped Management Team
established a policy in the third quarter to sell off as much excess inventory
as it possibly could through every expedient channel and increased its reserve
for inventory obsolescence. In light of this overall situation, Management does
not expect CS Crable's operating margins to improve at least through the
remainder of this year.
The increases in deferred federal income tax and net unrealized gain on
marketable securities are primarily attributable to the increases in the market
values of the Company's investments. The increase in marketable securities is a
result of the increase in the market value of the Company's investments
previously held as well as additional investments purchased with funds generated
from the growth in the Company's insurance operations.
The increases in fixed assets and short-term bank borrowings are due to
the costs associated with the construction of the Company's new corporate
headquarters facility. The total cost of this facility, which was occupied in
October of this year, is currently estimated at approximately $29,000,000 and is
expected to be financed through conventional long-term debt.
The increase in unvested restricted stock awards was due to an
additional stock award in the first quarter of 1995 awarded under the Company's
restricted stock award program.
The federal income tax provision for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 is different from amounts derived by applying
the statutory tax rates to income before federal income tax as follows:
Nine-Mos. Ended Sept. 30, Three-Mos. Ended Sept. 30,

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The Midland Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Midland
Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Midland Company and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 16, 1995, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.
