Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Financial Condition
The Company is engaged in the accident and health insurance business, which, by
its nature, has historically provided substantial cash flow. Cash flow provided
by operations, as shown by the Statement of Cash Flows, was approximately 20%
of total income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. For the same
period in the prior year, cash flow was approximately 13% of total income.
Management believes the 20% figure is more indicative of the Company's historic
performance and cash flow from operations is expected to remain in this range
in the near future.
The Company utilizes its excess cash flow for investing purposes and at March
31, 1996 approximately 69%, or $14,491,000, of its assets were readily
convertible into cash. This compares to approximately 68% at December 31 ,1995.
There has been no material change in the Company's asset mix or in the makeup
of its liabilities.
The Company does not have any material commitment for capital expenditures at
this time.
Results of Operations
The three month period ending March 31, 1996, saw a decrease in annualized
premiums in force of approximately $67,000 to approximately $6,640,000,
compared to an increase of approximately $153,000 for the three month period
ending March 31, 1995.
In spite of the decrease in annualized premium in force, the momentum built in
the past by the Company's ability to consistently increase the volume of
business it conducts allowed for an increase in total income of approximately
$94,000 for the three month period ending March 31, 1996. This compares to an
increase of approximately $164,000 for the same period prior year.
As shown by the statements of income, total benefits, losses and expenses
showed a slight decrease for the three month period under review, from
approximately $1,656,000 at March 31, 1995, to approximately $1,644,000 at
March 31, 1996. This decrease combined with the increase in total income
resulted in an increase in income before income taxes of approximately
$106,000 over the same period prior year.
On March 15, 1996, the Company and Penn Treaty American Corporation of
Allentown, Pennsylvania, executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger. The
completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
the approval of the transaction by HIVT shareholders, as well as appropriate
regulatory authorities. The merger would give Health Insurance of Vermont
access to Penn Treaty's agency force, allowing HIVT to attain premium growth.
This potential and the Company's performance during the period under review
strengthen Management's optimism for the future.
