Item 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results
of Operations
The Company's 2002 Form 10K should be read in conjunction with the following
discussion since they contain important information for evaluating the Company's
operating results and financial condition.
Critical Accounting Policies
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company made no changes in its
critical accounting policies as previously disclosed within the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Liquidity
The Company was incorporated on March 20, 2000 and commenced operations during
the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Its liquidity requirements relate to
payment of insurance losses, administrative expenses, and dividends. Premiums
generated by the Company's reinsurance business, combined with investment
earnings plus proceeds from the sale of the Company's Participating Shares, are
its principal sources of funds. The Company believes that such funds will be
sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements in 2003 and in future years to
which its reinsurance liabilities will extend. No capital expenditures are
expected during the next few years.
Capital Resources
The Company's capitalization on March 31, 2003, was $1,289,131 consisting of
paid in capital with respect to the Common Stock of $1,000,000 and paid in
capital with respect to the Participating Shares of $150,000, and earnings
retained for use in its business in the amount of $139,131. The Company's
capitalization on December 31, 2002, was $1,249,671 consisting of paid in
capital with respect to the Common Stock of $1,000,000 and paid in capital with
respect to the Participating shares of $150,000 and earnings retained for use in
its business in the amount of $99,671.
Barbados insurance law requires that the Company maintain a minimum
capitalization of $125,000 and, in addition, that the recorded value of the
Company's assets exceed its liabilities by: (a) $125,000 where the Company's
earned premium in the preceding financial year did not exceed $750,000; (b) an
amount equal to 20% of the Company's earned premium for the preceding financial
year, where such income exceeded $750,000 but did not exceed $5,000,000; or (c)
an amount equal to the aggregate of $1,000,000 and 10% of the amount by which
the Company's earned premium for the preceding financial year exceeded
$5,000,000.
8
If the Company's net assets are less than mandated by Barbados law,
the Company has the right to reduce the business related to a Subsidiary Capital
Account by retrocession or any other means to the extent necessary to permit the
Subsidiary Capital Account to meet its pro rata share of the Company's required
capital and surplus.
Results of Operations
The Company has entered a Retrocession Agreement ("Retrocession Agreement") with
Motors Insurance Corporation ("MIC"), pursuant to which MIC retrocedes to the
Company, a portion of MIC's risks in respect of certain automobile and
motorcycle insurance policies reinsured by MIC (the "Policies"). Under the
Retrocession Agreement, MIC retrocedes to the Company a portion (the
"Retrocession Percentage") of MIC's risk in respect of the Policies to the
extent the Policies are attributable to an Integon Account in respect of which a
series of Participating Shares is issued, outstanding and in good standing, and
the policies are issued or renewed after the effective date of the Retrocession
Agreement. The amount of the Company's liability for any loss paid on a Policy
is equal to the Retrocession Percentage multiplied by the amount of the loss.
The Company's loss exposure is generally not capped. The Retrocession
Percentage, which can be either 20%, 30%, 40% or 50%, is established with
respect to each series of Participating Shares. In return for the Company
assuming the risk retroceded to it by MIC under the Retrocession Agreement, MIC
pays the Company an amount equal to the Retrocession Percentage multiplied by
the gross premiums MIC receives with respect to the retroceded business, after
cancellations, reduced by:
(i) a ceding commission which is equal to the amount of such premiums
multiplied by 26.5%, reduced by the amount of certain service fees
paid to MIC;
(ii) any related agents' or brokers' commissions; and
(iii)any U.S. premium excise tax imposed on such premiums.
Settlements between MIC and the Company with respect to all amounts under the
Retrocession Agreement are made on a quarterly basis. This discussion of the
Retrocession Agreement should be read in conjunction with the discussion of the
Retrocession Agreement contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2002.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company had net income of $39,460
compared with net income of $2,370 for the comparable period in 2002. The
Company assumed premiums of $311,513, earned premiums of $303,464 and incurred
expenses of
9
$266,000, producing net underwriting income of $37,364. For the quarter, the
Company's incurred loss ratio was 52.9% and the combined ratio was 87.7%.
Because the Company did not commence operations until the quarter ended
September 30, 2002, it had no earned premiums, incurred expenses or underwriting
income for the comparable period of 2002.
Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $1,996, compared to
$2,370 for the comparable period of 2002. The Company's interest income consists
of interest earned on short term bank certificates of deposit. The decrease in
interest income for the quarter under review compared to the comparable period
of 2002 is attributable to reductions in the rate of interest received on the
Company's investments.
Reserves for Unpaid Losses
Reserves for unpaid losses are balance sheet liabilities representing estimates
of amounts needed in the future to pay claims under Policies with respect to
insured events which have occurred as of the balance sheet dates.
For purposes of establishing loss reserves, the Company relies upon the advice
of Integon Corporation. Loss reserves are established after periodic actuarial
reviews, based on historical claim experience, industry statistics and other
factors. Consequently, the determination of loss reserves is an estimate and a
process inherently subject to a number of highly variable factors. Consequently,
ultimate losses could exceed loss reserves and cause us to have to adjust our
loss reserves. Any adjustments to reserves are reflected in the operating
results for the periods in which they become known.
The Company's incurred loss ratios (losses incurred as a percentage of net
premium earned) on all business for the three month period ended March 31, 2003
was 52.9%. At March 31, 2003, the reserves for unpaid losses was $169,584.

Net loss reserves added for claims incurred in the quarter were $103,616,
including $43,996 for estimated incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims. Net
loss reserves for claims incurred prior to 2003 were reduced by $8,114, which
means that less was paid out than expected relative to loss reserve amounts
set-up previously for such claims. No change in loss reserves were recorded in
the comparable quarter of 2002 as operations of the company did not begin until
August 2002.
Forward Looking Statements
This document contains "forward-looking statements" that anticipate results
based on management's plans that are subject to uncertainty. These statements
are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts
and may be identified by their use of words like "plans," "will," "anticipates,"
"estimates," "intends," "believes" and other words with similar meanings. These
statements may address, among other things, our strategy for growth, product
development, regulatory approvals, market position, expenses, financial results
and reserves. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current
11
expectations of future events. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking
statement will be accurate. However, we believe that our forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable, current expectations and assumptions.
Whether or not actual results differ materially from forward-looking statements
may depend on numerous foreseeable and unforeseeable risks and uncertainties,
some of which relate particularly to our business, such as our ability to set
adequate premium rates and maintain adequate reserves, our ability to compete
effectively and our ability to grow our business through internal growth as well
as though acquisitions. Other risks and uncertainties may be related to the
insurance industry generally or the overall economy, such as regulatory
developments, industry consolidation and general economic conditions and
interest rates. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements
as a result of new information or future events or developments.
If the expectations or assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements
prove inaccurate or if risks or uncertainties arise, actual results could differ
materially from those predicted in our forward-looking statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the specified time periods. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and
procedures, no matter how well designed and executed, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Within the 90
days prior to the date of this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of the Company's
management, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation, which disclosed no significant
deficiencies or material weakness, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that he Company's disclosure
12
controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.
