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. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Legacy Marketing Group ("LMG"), Legacy Financial Services, Inc., and LifeSurance Corporation (collectively referred to herein as the "Company"). 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 results for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 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, 1996, for additional disclosure. 2. Commitments and Contingencies In December, 1996, LMG and American National Insurance Company were named in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, alleging misrepresentation and price discrimination in connection with the sale of certain annuity products issued by American National Insurance Company and marketed by LMG. The outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined at this time. However, the Company's management believes that the suit is without merit and intends to defend the Company vigorously. 3. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997, redeemable common stock was redeemed and retired as follows: Series A Redeemable Series B Redeemable Total Redeemable Common Stock Common Stock Common Stock ------------------- ------------------- ---------------- Carrying Carrying Carrying (Issuance) (Issuance) (Issuance) Shares Amount Shares Amount Shares Amount ------ ---------- ------ ---------- ------ ---------- Balance December 31, 1996 5,769,086 $10,512,023 610,326 $ 1,830,978 6,379,412 $12,343,001 Redemptions and retirement of common stock (189,817) (352,540) (752) (2,256) (190,569) (354,796) --------- ----------- ------- ----------- --------- ----------- Balance September 30, 1997 5,579,269 $10,159,483 609,574 $ 1,828,722 6,188,843 $11,988,205 ========= =========== ======= =========== ========= =========== 4. Reclassification For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassification had no impact on the Company's net income or shareholders' equity. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this report contain forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Results of Operations Summary--The Company's net income increased approximately $346,000, or 71.3%, in the third quarter of 1997, from the comparable period in 1996. This increase is attributable primarily to increases in revenue, as discussed below. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, however, the Company's net income decreased $514,000, or 22.5%, from the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease is due primarily to increases in expenses, 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 two insurance companies for which the Company markets and administers policies (the "Carriers"). Levels of marketing allowances and commission overrides are directly related to the volume of sales of such products. Administrative fees are a function not only of product sales, but also administration of the policies inforce and producer appointments. Total income increased approximately $1,741,000, or 42.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 1997, from the corresponding period in 1996, and increased approximately $1,436,000, or 10.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the corresponding period in 1996. These increases resulted primarily from increases in sales volume, as discussed below. Marketing allowances and commission income, combined, increased approximately $1,500,000, or 45.0%, in the third quarter of 1997, from the comparable period in 1996, and increased approximately $1,096,000, or 9.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the nine months ended September 30, 1996. These increases are due primarily to increases in the volume of sales by the Company's distribution network. During the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, premium placed inforce for the Carriers totaled approximately $203,445,000 and $139,766,000, respectively, representing a 45.6% increase. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, premium placed inforce totaled approximately $525,911,000 and $481,392,000, respectively, representing a 9.2% increase. Administrative fees increased approximately $266,000, or 38.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the corresponding period in 1996, and increased approximately $226,000, or 9.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. These increases are due primarily to increases in the number of policies sold and administered and to a shift in policies administered to those which generate higher administrative fees. During 1997, the Company marketed and administered insurance products for only two Carriers, American National Insurance Company ("American National") and IL Annuity and Insurance Company ("IL Annuity"). During the three months ended September 30, 1997, approximately 32.7% and 61.6% of the Company's total revenue resulted from agreements with American National and IL Annuity, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, approximately 42.2%% and 51.0% of the Company's total revenue resulted from agreements with American National and IL Annuity, respectively. This shift between Carriers is attributed primarily to changes in product strategies and lower than anticipated renewal rates on one of the Carrier's products. Expenses--Total expenses increased approximately $1,160,000, or 35.2%, in the quarter ended September 30, 1997, from the same quarter in 1996, and increased approximately $2,274,000, or 22.4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the corresponding period in 1996. These increases are attributable primarily to increases in compensation, sales promotion and occupancy expenses as discussed below. As a service organization, the Company's primary expenses are salaries and related employee benefits. These expenses increased approximately $546,000, or 25.7%, in the three months ended September 30, 1997, from the comparable period in 1996, and increased approximately $1,593,000, or 26.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the comparable period in 1996. These increases are due to an increase in the average number of full-time equivalent employees to 192 during the third quarter of 1997, from 158 during the third quarter of 1996, a 23.9% increase, and to 179 full time equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from 148 during the comparable period in 1996, a 23.0% increase. Increases in employment are largely attributable to preparation for projected increases in sales of insurance products. However, such projected increases in sales may not be realized if new products are not introduced as planned or if market acceptance of such products is not as favorable as anticipated. Salaries and related benefits also increased due to the addition of personnel at higher pay levels. Sales promotion and support expense consists primarily of costs related to the Company's annual national sales conventions and to various sales training activities. Also included in sales promotion and support expense is the cost of designing and printing of 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 represented 11.0% and 8.0% of total revenues during the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase between quarterly periods is due primarily to an increase in the third quarter of 1997 in the accrual for the Company's annual national sales conventions. Occupancy expense increased approximately $131,000, or 93.6%, in the third quarter of 1997 from the third quarter of 1996, and increased approximately $223,000, or 53.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the same period in 1996. These increases are attributable primarily to the leasing of additional office space in November of 1996, and to increases in telephone and utilities expenses resulting from increases in employment and an overall increase in the volume of sales, as discussed above. Professional fees decreased approximately $53,000, or 24.7%, in the three months ended September 30, 1997, from the same period in 1996, and increased approximately $24,000, or 4.8%, during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the same period in 1996. The decrease between quarters is due primarily to lower legal costs incurred in 1997 related to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders than were incurred in 1996, as the 1996 meeting was the Company's first. In spite of this decrease in legal fees during the third quarter of 1997, however, professional fees increased slightly between nine month periods due to consulting fees incurred during 1997 related to various information systems projects in progress. Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $77,000, or 63.3%, in the third quarter of 1997, from the third quarter of 1996, and increased approximately $111,000, or 31.8%, in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from the comparable period in 1996. These increases are due primarily to acquisitions of fixed assets during each respective period in 1997. Such acquisitions were necessary to improve newly leased office space and to accommodate increases in employment, as discussed above. The increase in this expense was partially offset by a change in the mix of fixed assets to those which are depreciated over a longer period of time, and thereby result in lower depreciation and amortization expense. Provision for Income Taxes-- Included in deferred tax assets at September 30, 1997, are state net operating loss ("NOL") tax benefits of $99,000, which expire December 31, 1997. Realization of the state NOL carryforwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realized could, however, be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's ability to mobilize its assets remained strong, with cash and investments representing 63.5% of the Company's total assets at September 30, 1997. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings In December, 1996, LMG and American National were named in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama, alleging misrepresentation and price discrimination in connection with the sale of certain annuity products issued by American National and marketed by LMG. (See Item 3 of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, which is incorporated herein by this reference.) In August, 1997, the case was remanded back to the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama. The outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined at this time. The Company's management believes that the suit is without merit and intends to defend vigorously. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders The following matters were submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was held on August 22, 1997.
